The End

: Bliss :

Now that I'm out of school, I understand why my parents always tell me it's great being a kid.

I'm old enough to understand why sometimes I wish I was a child again.

Where I don't know as much, and I'm ignorant on many things around me. Sometimes I feel like the older you get the harder it is to have the same type of fun/happiness that you find when you're a child. Perhaps that's why people take drugs and get high, because it's such a simple way to find happiness for the time being. And you don't need to work for it.

I'm just thinking about those days when Bugs Bunny makes me laugh all the time. Where I would imagine that I'm a ninja or some super hero and entertain myself. And playing tag was lots of fun and gives me an adrenaline rush, where I don't think about how tired I'm gonna get later on the day, or if you make a mess or get sweaty and smelly later.  A life where you can be selfish and get away with it.

I do truely believe that: "Ignorance is bliss"

however... nobody can really stay ignorant forever, unless you stop being curious AND live as a hermit (mentally....although living as a hermit physically will help achieve that for some people).

With all that said.... it's only SOMETIMES I feel that way.. however other times I'm glad I know more, can do more, experience more, learn to work hard for things of value, and learn more about myself and the world.

Another thing I just thought of  is..... as a kid I always wanted to grow up and to be independent and to be free from my parent's decisions on my life. However... I realized despite the fact I am free from my parents decisions on my life, I am bounded by much more around me (work, society, people, family, money, energy and time). I guess a morbid way to look at this is you're forever bounded until you die, and that's when you're totally free from everything.

I guess to lighten things up.... there's too many things in life to live for, experience and to achieve; eventhough we're bounded by whats around us, we should look forward to each day, and treat time and those around you preciously. Live for the future not in the past. Since I can't go back being a child, might as well make the best of what's present and the future.

Had a pretty deep talk with my friends last night ..... he brought out the point saying that Trust and Loyalty doesn't exist in today's business and it's the old fashion way of doing things. He feels that it's sad that in today's society everybody only look after themselves. Things like.... if one job pays you much higher than another you would switch without thinking twice. Or if you've been given the oppurtunity to make a lot of money but you have to betray your boss or your company, people will do so. The list of these things goes on. Do you think given in today's hectic society have it gotten to the point where creating a new business is much harder than before; PARTLY because of lack of trust and loyalty when you're looking for partners?

Also, what are the requirements that's needed in order to establish this type of trust.

Been pretty busy lately with work, hanging out and even taking up tennis lessons. I guess life at this point is quite balance right now, except for the fact that Xiu Dan is in NYC and I'm in HK at the moment. And I do really miss her a lot.

So let see.... I guess a good part of my life right now has been taken up by my two jobs. I have been trying to work on both of them simultaneously but it's really quite hard and at this point it's really about time management.

For those of you who really haven't talked to me for ages, my two jobs are....... (drum roll please).....Construction worker during the day time and bouncer for a big club during the night time!!!! (maybe in the next 5000 years when i manage to gain more meat).Well actually I have been working for my dad as an IT consultant I guess my current job title is "Junior Operation Manager", basically I've been analyzing, studying, interviewing, researching on my dad's company's business process and try to make useful recommendations on how to make it more efficient.Sounds kinda BS... I know.. but lets hope all the work i put in is worth it

The other more interesting job I've been doing is really starting up my company. The company is going to be selling a brand of Sony PSP accessories. As for now, I'm about to get a logo ready for my company at the moment the logo is still under revision. Also I'm in the process of registering my company. At the same time I've already finished a business plan at least until this December. Got a pretty complete competitors' analysis with most of the major competitors and the products they release along with an analysis of the products that I personally bought from them (the pros/cons of their products). I'm not exactly jumping in the market without any ideas, but if you are really THAT interested to know you can ask me personally (in person/phone/online) and obviously I will love to tell you about it. I've also started working on some products and some of them are already worked on by the technicians.

So who am I working with? Well I guess it really depends how you look at it. At the moment I'm kinda working on it myself, with my father's guidance. I'm also using his company's resources, like technicians, workers, etc. I have also seeked outside help with the logos and probably will do the same thing for packaging design. The only stuff I'm doing right now is really coordinating and planning this whole thing out. I can do more.. like I can make the logo myself... or I can create the website, etc... however I feel that it's not my specialty and for the time and effort that spent I might as well focus on the "bigger picture".

So that's my working life... anyways... I'll stop here for now... probably gonna try to post some pics soon (if i don't get too lazy)

From now on.... whenever I'm going out with a group of friends.. and we wanna have fun.... I'm gonna make sure it's someone's bday... even if it's not really his/her bday... it will be his/her bday.

Birthdays are just so much fun... you get free stuff....

In restaurants: you get free cake/dessert
At bars: free shots
In a club: tell a guy/girl it's your friend's bday... he/she gets to dance with them lol

And there's a lot more... lol.... birthday are so much fun!!!!  That's one thing I learned in Singapore.
