I Am Back - Let's talk about Life

Well, after posting my work stuff, I guess it is time to tell you guys a little bit of myself, my life.

Before I back track... It is now 2am. I am now in Bukit Mertajam for Christmas. Just came back from karaoke session with my family. It was the first time for us, going to a karaoke that has almost the same system and concept like Kotak Merah and Jalan Baru, if you ever know what I mean. It was fun~! My parents and sisters heard me sing for the first time (^_^)

Myself, My Life

Life was pretty much OK since 4 months ago. Other than work, I do have my own time for my own things. Things that I like to do are like cooking, singing, reading and of course looking out at my balcony and think of things. Many things... I like to observe how people walk, how people rush for time and wondering why they do that.

For some reason, I like to challenge my own thinking. Well, in a healthy way though. For instance, I can be reading a book and suddenly I will question myself why such article and then start thinking.

One of the topic that I have been thinking and try to proof myself right is a topic that has to do with "I dont have enough time." or "I got no time.". Yes, the topic is all about TIME and how you can control it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Andrew's Theory on Control Your Own Time

Let me tell you something, something that will maybe wake you up. Or perhaps will make you understand why you always say "I got no time" or "I got not enough time".

Everyone has 24 hours. No one has more or less than that. So, how does "I do not have enough time" or "I do not have time" become a valid sentence? Or even a valid reason or excuse?

We must understand that it is not "inssuficient" time that caused us to saying such statement, it is the ability or power to control time that is lacking, that's why we are making such statement.

Well, if you can accept whatever that you will read later, good for you. But you must try to achieve it. However, if you cannot accept it, you better think hard and try to see if you can. For it is the only truth why "You do not have time or enough time".I came up with a conclusion that it is because of you "cannot control your own time", that's why you thought that you do not have "enough" time.

Why you asked? Because you need to work and you work for other people. Your boss / company determine when you can go home; your job determines when you can go for holidays; your job makes you work on weekends and etc..

Doesnt it make any sense? Others are controlling your time. Why sometimes you can see people going for movies in the afternoon, at 3pm, while you are stucked in your office? Why some other people can wake up at 10am, then lunch at 12pm, then take a short nap at 4pm and didnt face any financial problems?

It is not they are rich or whatsoever, some not-rich people can also have that kind of lifestyle. Why? Because they control their own time~! They determine when they can do certain things, not other people.

Well, all of us have to start with "not enough time" and "no time" somehow. My point is, do not stuck in that kind of situation too long. For what you know, you may missed the most important thing in your life, missed the chances, opportunities and maybe even missed the "near future" because you only have "enough time" to think of what you are doing now. You do not even dare to think of what's next!

----------------------------------------------------------

Wow, long post uh? Basically... I am doing great. I am heading towards the goal of having the power to control my own time. I am nearly there... A little bit more. It took me a lot of hardwork and persistance to be able to reach the goal. Soon, I will be watching movies at 3pm or take a nap at 4pm, while my friends are stucked in the office.

Physical wise, I pulled my left thigh muscle for only-God-knows-why reason. Then I went for bowling with my business associates, after almost 3 no-serious-exercise years. Woke up with my back, right hip and right middle finger aching. I guess the pain will go away in one or two days.

Now I am back in Bkt Mertajam. Everything is kinda slow here. Most of my friends are working, no leave. Some of them are working here, some overseas.

Hope to meet up with at least a few of them before I go back to KL. Oh yeah, I'm attending my college friends' wedding dinner this Sunday (28 Dec 08). It is almost like a gathering all over again.

Stay tune for more updates lo... especially my goal to control my own time.

I Am Back - Let's talk about Work

Well, you can expect the longest blog post I have ever typed here since it has been 4 months since I last posted.

I shall split it into several categories so I can also recall what had happened.

This post is about my Work.

Work was fun and exciting as ever. My last post was about my supervisor being away for 1 month. I really thought that was a test given to me to see whether I can cope with my new work, with minimum supervision or not. Mind you, other than my supervisor, I have also 2 bosses to report to.

It was challenging cos I am still new in the company but rather, I picked up quite fast. I guess it is because of the decision making empowerment given to me. I can make decision on the spot but of course I have to think of the company's benefit and how much damage it will cause. But I guess it was OK since I have been in events before. It makes my logical sense stronger, what can be done, what cant; what will happen if A happens and such.

I passed my probation period after 3 months and I am now a confirm permanent staff. We had a new staff joined us but left us soon after a few weeks.

It was a fun experience for me especially when I am being assigned to take charge of the Breast Cancer Campaign that ran for 2 months. Since then, I was at work 7 days a week for consecutive 4 weeks. I didnt really get to enjoy my personal life but it was fun doing the things that I like, although it is consider as work and it took up my weekends.

I played music and became the DJ for those weekends. It has been long since I did broadcasting back in college. It was fun when people like to listen to you and the music that you played. The kind of satisfaction is so different. It is like being a chef, people like what you cooked for them and the compliment that they gave is not through words, but through their facial expression.

Now? I have another partner-in-crime... my new colleague la. Also in charge of events. For the past few weeks, especially in November, we had events like Malaysian Rally Championship, Most Natural Face Search, Halo Let's Eat Music Festival and many more.

I must say it is really exciting to be working in such environment. You are like the most well known people when you walk around. Security guards will greet you, staff from the F&B outlets will smile at you, the janitor will also smile at you. Best of all, the owners of the F&B outlets will sometimes ask you to join them for a drink, non alcoholic of course.

That is basically for 2008 . God knows what will happen in 2009. Of course, I hope for the best for the years to come. Best for me, best for the company, best for everyone.
