Along the years, I have made many strategic mistakes that has shaped my life in more ways than others. Making the wrong choices, choosing the wrong paths and sometimes even procrastination or not making a decision has cost me something. I guess this is the part where you can say that we are all to ...
With all pun intended in the subject, I am now a proud owner of an Apple iPad, a gift given to me by my lovely significant other - to whom I still have boundless gratitude for. And I’m writing this virgin entry on WordPress for iPad. Woot!She surprised me the day I came out of ...
Yes I’m quite sure bad experience lead to loss of innocence in certain cases… because you no longer wear your heart on your sleeves and go out unguarded. I guess after something bad happens, you tend to protect yourself the next time around. Live and let live…I cannot remember what I was hanging on to ...
I shan’t even start on the numerous excuses I have for not writing here lately… I guess I’m really busy. Or maybe I’m not.I spend too much time gaming, watching TV and just now doing what I am supposed to - studying and labbing.Sometimes I think about what I wish to write, but never get ...
This thought struck me a couple weeks ago while I was on the road. I thought about why some of the world’s top athletes tend to come back into the game after they retire. Usually they go out at the top of their game but only to return a few years later.Tennis has Kim Clijsters ...
Well, I’ve been flying under the radar for a while now. Especially since returning from my holiday and army stint. The reason - CCIE.CCIE stands for Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert, which *was* the epitome of networking guru-ness until they recently introduced an invite-only architect level certification. That aside, the CCIE has been a dream for ...
I don’t even know what I wanna write about. Perhaps my life in general? As I sit here in Starbucks enjoying my favourite Green Tea frappuccino, I ponder upon what life has in store for me.Life in the new job has been stressful at times, making me feel stupid and struggling but the people around ...
LUCK - some of us have it, some of us don’t. But if you sit down and think about it, I’m sure actually all of us have it… just in varying amounts. Is it predefined by your birth date and time like what some beliefs are, just as the stars aligned during your moment of ...
I guess it’s fair to say that I have gone missing for quite a fair bit. I wouldn’t say I’ve been busy but then again I have been away for quite some time. Anyway I better clock this in before the month ends and it appears that I have not written anything at all haha. ...
I don’t remember why I felt down then… but I do remember writing the thing about not bothering to even tell others since I guess they won’t understand.That ex has long since disappeared from my life. Sad but true. Oh well…I’m still procrastinating by the way… but honestly I think I’m better than before.Hahahha those ...
As we grow older and as we progress from job to job and earn more, we also tend to spend more. This also means that we should be saving more (that is if we set aside by percentage and not a finite number).When I first started work, buying an extravagant item meant saving for many ...
Well from animosity to one that is all good to one that is all left. That’s the relationship of my mum and I. She’s probably the only family I have left.I sure as hell haven’t been spending enough time with her lately because of my travels but every so often I will call back and ...
Well my birthday has come and gone and it looks like I’m now officially 30.Thirty doesn’t feel anything different to me other than the way people look at me or perhaps I am overthinking that they are looking at me differently when they actually are not.I didn’t have anything too extravagant, just a BBQ dinner ...
Lately I’ve been feeling that I am stuck in a rut, nothing seems to be going like how I imagined it would be. Maybe because I have been feeling inadequate lately, it seems as though I have been stagnant in my professional life and I have not been moving forward or even sideways.In my job ...
I in some kinda of long-D relationship right now as well. With the amount of time I spend away from home, I can honestly relate now how tough it is.But like I said then, there are perks… time together however little are now more precious than ever and cherished more.But she is someone worth fighting ...
I guess I may one of very few people who no longer look forward to overseas work trips anymore. In fact, I dread it.As I sit here writing this in the plane, I’m thankful that the 11-hour flight was made bearable since I managed to sleep about eight hours of it on a three seat ...
If there was a prize for procrastination, I would win it hands-down, really.Far too often I have thought about whipping my iPad out for a spin and write about something that bothered me or maybe something interesting that just occurred, heck I even spent four mindless weeks in India and every weekday night was spent ...
Well, in a weird sense I am slacking and doing nothing… but not so much personal but more on a work level. I haven’t been completely doing all the necessary work that I should on a daily basis. It’s really time to stop that haha.Those lonely days are over and the emotional scar is conveniently ...
I guess I’m gonna stop this reminiscing portion of my blog. I don’t even think anybody reads this. It was fun for a while but I guess I couldn’t be bothered any longer. Certain things in my personal life is taking its toll on me and I guess that adds to the matter.So with this ...
