Hear ye Hear ye

Taking the time off from work seems the logical thing to do now. Being a workaholic like the rest of my colleagues seem to be beneficial…really beneficial. BUT. It does put a strain on my physical and emotional self…by that I mean, I am not a robot, I do get tired.

You (I) do work, and the pay not that excellent (still good) but worth it. Because in the end you (I) know you’ve (I’ve) earned the right to spend it OR save it, put it in a Fixed Deposit account or just simply let it sit in the bank.
However, this doesn’t really apply to everyone. People work to get paid. That’s all there is to it. Some people may argue that ‘why put more effort if you’re not paid that much’. True. True. People have opinions of their own. No rights or wrongs. Just two sides of different opinions. Two polar opposites, bi-polar (to borrow a word from Ian).

My opinion, work hard now…pray hard, achieve, and achieve more…play fair/hard…make friends (+ a few jealous, undeserving enemies), lose some friends because you’ve grown apart…but in the end, God willing, you’ll be rewarded with what you want or dreamed of – a good life or a better one because you work hard for it and strive to get where you are at that point of life in future. Now who doesn’t want a good life/better one than they have right now? Always the formula for that one is work hard. (this doesn’t apply to mega rich people ehhehe).

I am at a point in my life where every decision and every step I make is crucial…Financial decision, Life decision..etc etc…but one thing is clear to me. I need to achieve more, improve myself in terms of academic achievement. Get myself a masters’ degree, an ACCA qualification…all these before I turn 30. I’ve been to three great wonders…these are enough for now. Great Wall, Angkor Wat and Eiffel Tower, the first two through luck and the last when I was studying in the UK….I might add somemore along the years to come... To Taj Mahal. To the Pyramids in Egypt/Giza…where else? I’ll google them nanti.

The year is 2010. If you add the numbers 20 and 10 together they sum up to 30…so that means? Nothing hahaha just wanna do some cool (is it?) random thoughts of maths. I love (I think ‘like’ would be a better word) adding numbers...normal manageable numbers just to keep my brain active enough. Try doing it. It’s good. Ahahah Coming back to 2010. It’s New Year. I don’t actually do the ritual of promising myself this and that (i.e Resolution). I don’t bother having them…down the line; I prefer to remind myself to be better this year than the last year. Because if I promise this and that, I might not be able to reach that goal, don’t get me wrong and say I’m a non-committal person. I am not a non-committal being. Once I commit myself to something, I’ll do it. We never know unless we give it a try right? Ehehhe Sometimes jumping into something is a great way to find out whether it’s good for me. And often times than not I usually get the result what I wanted. Like you’ve been holding back for a long time, you mull it over for a few years and you almost gave up but then once you give it a go…walla! It’s actually great. But don’t go back regretting it that you wished you’ve done it earlier, because everything has a place and proper time for it. But more like perfect timing.

2009 was a great year for me. I achieved the status of being employed in the month of February. Then unemployed for a month…then employed again and until now I’ve got a good job. I’m not satisfied yet, but as I said, will look for more to achieve. I am happy. In fact, much happier with everything. I named my car Sputnik…it is a cool name. I, of course has the best sense in everything...:)

Ooh, I didn’t know what to spend my first bonus on at first…but now I know what to get myself and splurge on. I’ll tell you once I have it.

For now that’s it, I gotta go.

Sputnik, Myself and I.
take care
Lufias.
