Fate
Fate, is a rather elusive subject, don't you think. I am not a subject expert of astrology, palm reading, i-Ching, religion or cultural practices that has been pass on from generation to generation, so much so that we even stop questioning it. However, I don't deny reasons for it's existence, there must be one, and valid at least at the time.
As we grow older, I think we tend to be more aware of signs; you know, like learning to never touch a hot stove pot again. Like a supposedly smooth sailing life cycle of growing up, finding work, growing old.. etc.
But if we keep disrupting this cycle, do we actually risk breaking something? Or was it fate trying to guide us elsewhere rather than keeping us on the road most travelled? So either way, fate is at play? Like the Matrix huh.
GRRRRrrr...
Ever feeling definite that the world is against you sometime? That feeling where if you have done something different at that split second, the whole outcome would be different.
Ya it feels like one of those days. *piz*
Spiderweb
" I'm walking into spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back .. And it's all your fault" - Spiderweb, No Doubt.
I must admit that I am a rather proud person, I'd like to call it confidence, other call it ego. I think it steams from being optimistic, having time as my greatest asset, I have little to lose, and my skin is thick - I became unafraid to fail.
But over time. I realised that I am starting to have a few regrets..
1) Sometimes I scarifies much too much of the present moment for the future. Like working 5 evenings a week including weekends while I was a teenager, and skipping way too many lunches and club activities while at uni because I was too caught up in the lab. Which I don't think it matters much in the end.
2) Time is indeed an asset, one should never stop learning. However, sometimes I felt I am starting to spend much too much time learning, instead of performing.
3) The ability to earn passive income has become one of my greatest assets, however I wonder if the price I paid has exceeded it's benefits. Hm.
4) Being reckless, I chuck myself at the deep end way too many times. Bad timing has struck me big time, yet I still wanted change at the worst of time.
5) I only recently started making up my bed.
6) I hoped that I knew before what I know now.
In saying that, it's true, regrets are truly futile. Like chewing gums.
Revenge is Sweet
If you're on Facebook, you'd probably played the game Mafia War, or hopefully heard of it. It's a bit like the game monopoly, you know, you build your empire, growing it by buying more assets etc etc, except Mafia War requires you to recruit more member, survive on the streets, "rob" people, buy weapons and armors so you won't be snuffed by your Mafia competitions etc.
The problem with me in the game is that, I realised that I don't like robbing people, and I don't like beating people up, the only thing that makes sense to me is to survive, and save enough money so that I can buy assets. I am afraid that this actually reflects badly on my Mafia career... (probably in real life too I realised..)
Because throughout my Mafia career, I invest little in my violent skills, weapons and armors. I'd been badly beaten, robbed of my money, other Mafia's been dealing danage to my properties. At one point, the money that I was saving isn't enough to heal myself at the hospital, nor fix up my damaged properties, let alone buying more assets! It sux. AND the most annoying bit is that the stronger Mafia people KEEPS COMING BACK to rob and beat me up because they know am weak! But I suffered in silence, believing in my own Mafia ethics... while slowly, slowly accumulating assets.
Then finally patience and my plan pays off. I have now became wealthy and successful in Mafia War, and don't get me wrong.. I am still weak and people still beat me up and try to rob me, except... I have more than enough money to do anything I want, INCLUDING paying for a hitman to rid of anyone that pisses me off. Revenge has never been so sweet. ^^

CLosing the Deal
Lately my trading reminds me of being in sales or running your own business. Sometimes you never know when you gonna close that next big account, or end up in donut club for the next few months. Actually, bit like a property broker too, selling a house here and there.
The difference? It's like deciding if you gonna be an entrepreneur, or a corporate slave.
The option to pick between a secured income with a career path 'lack' in opportunities, or an unpredictable income with potentially an abundance of opportunities?
HELLO?! HOW ABOUT ANYTHING IN BETWEEN! *sigh*
I am currently confused. Me think.
Prune One
Prune One, obviously number one in launching one of the MOST environmental unfriendly product eva. EACH PRUNE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED IN PLASTIC! So each time you had one of these things, remember, EACH WRAP will take maybe 1,000 years to degrade. Your grandchildren and great great great grandchildren will be sure to remember us LONNNNGGG time to come.
Change & Tattoos
You know.. considering a career change is like deciding on having a second tattoo at times, probably because you didn't like the first one enough, or maybe, it's a mistake, or, you've changed.
So you may want to tattoo over your old tattoo if at all possible, otherwise.. maybe you can start again with a second tattoo, and hopefully this time, it'll be a work of art. And like having tattoos, you can only do it so many times before you screw up your whole canvas and look stupid.
Your canvas, likewise time, is your only asset; however valuable, but exhaustible.
