Looking at money

One of the good things that comes from not working is, I start to appreciate money more now. When we were working, we did not really look at how we spent because income was streaming in, because everything was affordable. But now that I have to watch my spending, every dollar feels more important. It sort of brought me back down to earth, after the exorbitant spending throughout the years.

What do you like?

I want to travel my whole life

Moving on

It took me some time to realise that people do move on, with a select few staying on in your life. Some social groups exist for the present context only, out of which they lose a purpose to exist. When you moved out of that phrase of life, the bonds that you thought were strong started to vanish, and the meetings became less and less regular. It's like getting together because there's something useful to get out of it. Sucks big time.

Will spend my efforts on people that matters.

Bored!!!

Need to find a job soon because I'm seriously bored at doing nothing at home!!!

I'm all ready to work, it's just the hassle of finding one..

Tekong Days

Watching Ah Boys To Men sure remind me of those BMT days in Tekong.. Fond memories of us being tekan by sergeants together, I wonder how those guys are doing now?

Life

Just came back from a 24D trip to Taiwan.

If there's a sight I remembered most from the trip, it gotta be this. At one of the night market in Taichung, I saw a man, picking up unfinished food thrown away by people from the rubbish bag. It bothers me that in an advanced country like Taiwan, there were still people left behind in the society.

Watched a lot of Taiwanese news channels during the trip too. Taiwanese news were different from ours, most of their reports were on domestic news instead of international news, and the content of their domestic news varied from reports on food.. bad practices of shops.. and in particular, accidents caught on videos. There were one which a father with his 2 daughters on a bike were hit by a van, the driver came out and pulled the little girl to the side before driving off. He was eventually caught after 2 days, but the damage was already done to the broken family. When I was in Nepal, I received the unfortunate news of the passing away of a former colleague in Montreal from a car accident. Such news just reminded you of the fragility of life, how easily it can be taken away.

I'm afraid of suddenly dying, if I have no chance to say goodbye. The sudden ending of life would be so devastating, especially when there's still plenty to be done in this world. Hopefully none of us would suffer this fate of seeing our life end abruptly or any of our close ones.
