You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Time For Change / Saturday, April 15, 2006 @ 7:09 PM

ple! Strangely, I have never had this blog in purple since I started blogging in 2004 even though it is my favourite colour. I thought it was time for change when I receive feedback that there were some challenges viewing my site. Thank you to Otilius and Stik for your feedbacks. I really really appreciate it. My office pc, home pc and laptop has a pop up blocker and thats why I had no idea that there were pop ups. I guess that was the main reason, why this page uploads real slow. I hope you guys are not facing slow uploading anymore, if you are can you please do me a huge favour and let me know. I am sorry for all the inconveniences before this.
Anyway, I am blogging here at work. Its saturday and I have loads of papers to mark. But hey, I will be gone soon, so I have this slack attitude. Its sucks I know. My supervisor Nurul must be real patient dealing with all my nonsense. Haha. By June, I wont be able to blog at work anymore so I am making full use of the time left here all right. Please bear with me dear.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how I am going to adjust to the changes. I think its inevitable that we all dont really like change especially when we are already comfortable with whatever we are doing. We get a little bit complacent with our lives and we dont realise that we are actually stagnating ourselves. It will be uncomfortable, difficult and sometimes painful but it must be done in order to move forward, and in return make way for further future successes that it meant for me.
This thought led me to the times w
hen I meet up some of my school friends. Its normal that we want to be the busybodies that we are and find out what and how everyone was doing. Interestingly, when I asked some of them what they were doing, they will mentioned their jobs straight away. Now, on the surface, there is really nothing wrong with this. Ask anyone what they are doing and they will mention their job, the nature of their jobs, the low pay, the demanding boss. Itss basically the same thing. Suprisingly, no one I talked to, mentioned about their family, whether they are married or not, with or without kids first, to what they were doing in their jobs.
I can understand that. Throughout our lives we have a picture of ourselves that has been created by our family and others around us. Sometimes this picture is good but most of the time it is not. The sum of these influences and how you feel you measure up to them will create the picture you have of yourself. This picture may or may not be accurate. Families who have known you your entire lives will hang on to that picture of you in the past. They might forget that people can change.
As you know, apart from this job, I also have my own business that I am more passionate about. However people seemed to be more interested in what I do in a job compared to what I do in business. This has been bugging me for quite some time. I mean, do we really want to define ourselves by our jobs? What are we without our jobs? Why do we do the same to others, and somehow allow ourselves to be judge others. I cannot agree with this. What if, one day you wake up and not have a job anymore? How will you define you? How will you look at yourself then? What will be your identity then?
It took me a while to figure out my own identy too. I had to ignore all the negative influences and impressions of me and had to focus on myself to develop my own identity. I used to feel lost and dont where where I belong to, but thankfully that period is over and I am glad that I found myself. It is important to know the 'you' that is determine by you and not some outsiders. Your identity is found within you and only you can find it.
I have also identified my likes and dislikes through the search for the real me. I have a problem with people who only live with what they need. We are meant to have not only what we need to live a wonderful life but also to have more than we need so we are able to give some of our abundance away. We were each born with a great purpose, not to merely exist. Can you imagine a life in which you do not need to worry about having enough money? You could set your mind and heart on being creative, helping people, loving people and ding the things you believe you are here to do. Money is much more that than paper with pictures of dead presidents on it.
Therefore, it would be good to find yourself, even if it may require you to isolate yourself from the world. Every now and then, you will find that you lose yourself, but if you have a strong identity, you will come back to it. I did.
