The path is clear .. I wanted to write my own story!

For the pass 2 months, I've been bothered by making a very hard decision for future. Its a path that might lead me to success or failure. I'm gonna be 26 this year, its time for me to figure out my future, my carrier. During my younger days, everything for my future were decided by my parents. Which school do i go, which tuition teacher to educate me. Those days, parents use to compare me with my brother. I remembered i cried when i was 15 when i realise that my PMR result was 1 A short compare to my brother.

When i start my journey into college life, my piority choice was Electronic engineering. Because my brother was doing the same course, so my parents suggested me to take another course. That time, i was still playful, so i choose the hardest course micro-E. Further on, i complete my degree, Communication and Electronic Engineering with quite a good result as well. But i end up in an IT company because I doesn't like working out door nor in a factory.

Today, I was already working in my current company for almost 2 years. 2 months ago, i was approach by "someone" whom offered me to join his company with quite a good pay and benefit. I've been made to choose between traveling overseas with allowance claim or locally with good basic. At first my decision to join the new company was strong, till my current company offer me a counter offer , by then my decision was a bit shaken due to the high pay + allowance which is much difference from the new company. Any how, i was able to reject the devilness of my current company and stay put that i will join the new company.

My decision was again shaken when my parents come into play. They wanted me to stay as the pay was better. Again i stand my decision as i know there are brighter future in my new company and also from next year onwards, when my fren ask me bout how many months bonus do i get ? i can answer it already! lolz.

Next month i will be starting my new job. It will be a hard way for me as i have to learn many new things, but i believe it will have great future, and i'm ready to challenge it. This is my story!

I believe this mark an new era for our country .. the real Democracy! With BN less then 2/3 of the parliment seats, our voice will be stronger.. our demand will be heard... and hopefully a better Life .. :)

Choices ....

Life is about making choices. Like it or not , sometimes u have to make a decision.

Lately, I've been been deciding on the path that i should go .. It took me 2 months to make up my mind, a decision that i shouldn't regret for my life, a gamble in the story of my life. But once i made this decision, others people come into consideration in my decision. I've decided to take the right path, but then, many ppl wanted me to make a U-turn instead. They wan me to stay on the same track and gain a big leap on the same tract to continue my life as it should be. The decision would be clear next week. Either i make a U-turn or a right turn. I hope I'm heading to the right decision... and mostly I hope its a Win - Win situation..

I wish i was still 17

When I was 5, i wish i could grow up faster so i could go cycle with other frens like my brother.

Then when I was 10, i wish i could hang out with frens without being refrain by my parents.

When come 15, i wish i'm 17 so that i could get my driving license and go out with my frens whenever I want.

During 18, I wish i was 21 so I can do whatever I want!

During 22, I wish i can graduate ASAP so that i could earn my own money and spend as much as i could.

Now that I'm 25 going 26, i wish I was still 17. During this age, I have to consider a lot of stuff. Have to consider my Income so that i would have enough money to sustain my life. Yet I have to pay back loan that i've use for my studies. Working pressure is all around. Money earn can't be simply spend without any planning.

During the days when i'm 22, I was studying in college. Life back then was more fun. As i'm working part time to earn extra income for me to spend as my parents doesn't have extra for me to spend. And i applied for studies loan like i don't need to repay!

Its even better when I'm 18. That time I just graduated from my form 5, where by i enjoyed life the most. 1st year of college is like Honeymoon to me as I break free from my parents bond and get to know lots of new frens and hang out till late at night as I wish.

The most enjoyable time was actually when I'm form5 @ 17 years old. With my driving license and my Old car. Thou its old but it serve its purpose! I can hang out with my frens all the time yet i don't even need to pay for the petrol as my parents use to fill it up for me! And I dont need to even worry about anything, just focus on my studies!

But Now, Everything takes into consideration... How i wish i was still 17 ..

What is love?

A student asks a teacher, “What is love?”

The teacher said, “in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.”

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one… but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts torealise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, “…this is love… you keep looking for better ones, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person.

Raining day in Jakarta ...

It was a wonderfull night to sleep last night as it rains heavily non-stop. But situation got worsen as the rain didn't stop till morning. As usual, we will be waiting for our van to send us to work, this week, my name wasn't on the Van list so I will have to take Taxi to office with some other colleagues.

It was near Chinese New Year so its time for most of us to travel back to Malaysia. Today alone there will more then 10 colleagues from my project travelling back to Malaysia. Due to the rain, everyone was worried that flight might be cancel and also how are they going to the airport.

During the long que at the Taxi stand, we (Sook Wai, Yee Wan and I) gave up and headed to Coffeebean for a tea break @ breakfast. LoLz. Those whom took the Van takes 1 hour to reach office. They were actually the second trip. Our PM tried to arrange the Van for a 3rd trip because whenever it rains in Jakarta, taxi driver will call their day off because it will be terriblily Jam and flood here and there. Our driver refuse to go for 3rd trip because its very jam he says, but after discussing with PM, he agree to go for a 3rd trip. Driver didnt manage to get out of our office area as it is flooded, so the 3rd trip end up cancelled. Hehe .. and we are HOORAY-ing back at the appartment.

Situation grow worse as the rain didnt stop until noon. My colleagues taking KLM flight around 7PM left office at 12 Noon just because they worried that they can't catch the flight. Yet still no luck with them. They were caught in the massive jam. My dai lou (Weng Keong) and his wife left from Appartment to airport at 2PM to catch the same flight but they were caught at the jam too. Heard from some of them the road to Airport was flooded with water as high as 1 meter. Gosh..

I made a call to them at around 7PM ++ , they haven't reach the airport yet. I guess they have already miss the flight. What a day. Some of them wanted to turn back to the appartment and tried their luck again tomorrow. Its already 11.30pm now, although the rain have stop for like 8 hours or 10 hours ago but seems everywhere is still having a massive jam, and i yet to get any news about my colleagues .. i think some of them still stuck .. what a day..
