A Dog to remember ...
Suddenly realised 3 yrs have passed.
The imagery of things are pretty murky and to be honest, much had been stored in this little "box" and kept in a secret place, somewhere inside me. I am not intending to open it anytime in the near future; it only serves to remind me that it has been part of what made me today, for the better or worse i dunno ... hahaha
Anyhow, the Jack Russell that I used to play with is no longer around... I kinda missed that dog eh... I think I was the first stranger that he didnt bite... for watever reason I dunno... maybe I naturally interact well with animals... hahaha
Oh well, back to the topic on the dog... I'll pray he wont end up being a dog for his next life !!
Wherever he is now, he will be remembered..

Perception is Reality ?
I vividly remember something a seasoned colleague once told me (in Hokkein):
“会做不会做，看得出的”
The statement says that people can see what you are "made of" from your actions. But I want to go further to link this with another statement that I recall from interview skills course:
“Perception is Reality”
No matter how you think you are different from what others are saying about you, your actions will mold your image with the outside world.
So, I firmly believe that when accusations start flying, one should look within himself/herself. Ask one what one could have caused the misunderstanding and not why people are so mean to you. Conversely, ask one where to put more effort in instead of lamenting the lack of opportunities.
And there is another issue on interest and reality. It’s perfectly fine to pursue either one, but many times they dun come in a whole package. Then again, it becomes a real BIG issue if the interest gets into the way of the practicality of a stable job. For example, one may have an interest in painting, but if his passion for painting affects his punctuality/effort at work. By compromising the professionalism and then not reaching the full potential of the interest, I think it becomes really a big mess altogether.
It is wrong to hold on to polarized items when ultimately one has to choose between them as they cannot coexist due to whatever constrains (eg. time). But I guess indulging in one’s own world kind of vaporized everything I mentioned about the conflicts. It can be seen as trying to be happy, but I am inclined to think that it is taking the easy way out - definitely a sign of IMPRACTICALITY.
It’s society’s fault maybe ? wahahaha
I really dunno….

Fruitful Week
Since Monday, have been real busy with lotsa stuff to handle everywhere. And it aint slowing down with Weatherford coming over next week to check their inventory. But fret not ! All's well.
I accomplished these in the week:
1) Weatherford pipes which accounts for abt 10 000 in the yard.
2) Managed to reach home on time today.
3) Went for the weekly jog; considering 2.4km in the hazy weather... not bad already !
4) Washed my car after jogging.
5) My Boss is happy !! =)
Things to happen these coming 4 days:
1) Friday night
2) Servicing on Saturday morning.
3) Saturday outing (possibly)
4) Sunday Anthony's house-warming
5) BPL Charity Shield
6) Playing golf in Johor on Monday.
Wooohooo... busy but fruitful week for sure !

Bdae Wishes....
Okay, it’s the time of the year again; when everyone takes out their bucket list and scan through to see what they have accomplished or ticked since their last birthday.
Despite having gone through 25 times of that already, I decided to open my list again and see what I want to accomplish for the coming year. This time round, however, I realize something… that planning never supersedes with reality…. Haha There were the usual hits and misses, but there were the unexpected stuffs that got completed in the midst of all that. So, I am going to give myself broad plans instead of specific ones… haha
And this time round, I am keeping it a secret, and it’s not to get a gf like some of u think. >.<||| hahahaha
Just some simple milestones I give myself or hope things will turn out.
Meanwhile, thanks all for the Birthday wishes !! =)
