Short update
[ 4:59 pm ] It's been a long while since I had the time to blog about anything. Time? Actually, I'm quite occupied now ... then what the heck am I doing here? I need unwind. Anyways, my savings is depleting at a steady rate and with no visible income coming in ... yet. It doesn't really help when clients owe you money and take their time paying you. I'm not even gonna say 'Woe is me' or feel sorry for myself. For every dream and success story, there is a price to pay. What is my 'price'? Having creditors coming after me? Hahaha ... haaaa ... I bet it's not funny when that happens. God no, I refuse to owe the bank money. Did I mentioned recently how good He is? He's been opening doors for us and things are getting really promising. It's really exciting to see where all these will eventually lead us to. I'll be meeting up with Weng and Siew Li this Saturday to help them with some pre-wedding stuff. Wine tasting ... good thing I still have Eric's contact with me. Well, it would be good to have a little catch up with them again. 0 comments Monday, September 07, 2009
Perciks
[ 12:36 pm ] The weekend was pretty good … well, it’s supposed to be a public holiday today, but you and I know that doesn’t mean a thing to me anymore :) Working on your own does bring about a change of perspective on life. I can’t remember the number of times that I visited the ATM machine to make a withdrawal and to walk back to my car feeling down. This goes to show that I had been placing my future in the digits of my account (pretty soon, it may be a digit … hahaha … eh, not funny). What’s even more perplexing is when I get comments like, “Oh he’s so established …” Oh, if only you knew. You know how sometimes we’re challenged in church to give until it ‘hurts’? Well, it’s starting to hurt. It’s kinda funny when Yee See and I had a good look at ourselves, we were wearing worn out shoes, decade old T-shirts, pants, etc. Nah, I’m not feeling sorry for myself, these are the price you pay for something that you believe in. God is teaching me to rely solely on Him. That can be quite challenging. I was contemplating whether to join a small get-together pot-luck at Armanee Terrace with the bunch of people I’ve met at Eric’s wedding. Why was I contemplating, well, I didn’t want to blow my last 50 bucks. Then I thought to myself, what the heck? What kind of loser thought is that? I’ve not seen most of these people for 7 months now and I needed to surround myself with different kinds of people, so heck, why not. Anyways, I spent that 50 bucks on 3 regular sized Dominos pizza lol. Did I have a great time? Of course :) It was good to see them again. Armanee Terrace is a pretty posh duplex community. Can you imagine living in a resort environment every day? They even have a pool table! I was supposed to meet up with DG yesterday night for dinner, since I’ve not seen him since … Amelia’s birthday last year!? He couldn’t make it in the end; guess we’ll postpone it to a later date. There are still some people that I’ve yet to catch up with, I wonder how they are doing? Oh I went to the Ramadan Bazaar last Saturday … it was a short visit la, I wanted to get some ayam percik but no one was selling it … seriously, I DIDN’T SEE ANY AYAM PERCIK! I bought lontongs instead :) It was great to see all kinds of people there … very muhibbah, I like that very much. While I was buying my lontongs, a tai-tai was at the stall as well … I did not like the way she talked … come on; these people aren’t your maids. Don’t speak to them in such a manner, you’re not elite society. These are not low class citizens. I need to practice my piercing glare a little more. 0 comments Tuesday, September 01, 2009
Celebrity
[ 6:00 pm ] I want to say that I’m busy, but that could be an overused excuse … but I am. So, what are you SOOOOO busy with? Well, being a celebrity, I do have to meet up with my fans, sign recording contracts, meet the press sessions; it’s not easy you know? Try being a celebrity for one day and you’ll know what I mean. Stop crapping :P Anyways, I think I’ve been too worried about a lot of things lately. What to do? It’s so easy to say, ahhh … let God handle it la. Honestly, it is REALLY that easy? I’ve come to realize this is another season of my life where I have to be moulded again. Just how do you mould clay that’s already dried and baked in fire? Maybe that’s why it’s difficult. If I open up my eyes a little BIGGER, then ya, actually He has been providing, just that I’ve been impatient. I want more when perhaps I can’t handle it yet. Come on, don’t tell me when you were a kid you don’t horde all the Famous Amos cookies? Well, I do. There’s a lot to be thankful about, really. For the company, we haven’t had to make any cold calls or have to pitch for jobs. God has been providing, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have to work for it. We entered the Samsung Innovator Quest Challenge 2009 organized by Samsung last week. The competition started in June and I got to know about it a week before the closing date. A week, what can we come up with in a week compared to the other entries that were developed and refined for 3 months? Well, we gave it a shot anyways and developed 3 simple widgets. I mean, who knows right? Do we want to win? Of course, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to win 15,000 pounds? That’s close to RM90,000 man. That is enough to finance us to do the things we want to do. I visited CHC last Friday AND Saturday for their annual musical. It was pretty great. I was surprised that my Indian maid liked it very much. So that was pretty unexpected coming from him. I bumped into a few people from ACTS there :) On Friday, I caught Erwin lining up as well. What are the chances, eh? Didn’t know he wanted to go … and he didn’t know I was going. I think I’ll need to catch up with my ex-schoolmates one of these days. Yesterday was Merdeka day and their church Family Day. I really didn’t felt like going because I felt a little out of place … but I did anyways. I knew this was something important for her, die to self die to self die to self. Oh, it turned out okay though. I managed to meet one particular person that she wanted to introduce for a long time. Glad we talked; it helped me understand their church a little better now. Oh well, I’m more concerned with my work now more than anything else. 0 comments Archives nothing |
