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.

Dream List / Saturday, July 29, 2006 @ 4:29 PM
Life is unpredictable.
I cant believe how I am struck down with flu and fever again. If you remember, I was down just 2 weeks back. And after going to the doctor and eating all his drugs, I am now strucked with flu and fever again. I am never trusting doctors again.
A little TLC (tender loving care) please.
So yesterday I was banned from going for PASE meeting as I was shivering (on a hot day!) and sneezing my guts out. I was suppose to be presenting on functions last night but seeing that I was in no position to stand in front of people, I had to inform my reliable business associate, Firdaus. I thought that I could still make it, if not I would not have informed him so last minute. I only informed him at 6 pm when my mum insisted that I stay home after the shivering and the high temperature. And being such a responsible partner, he immediately step up and took over me. I feel bad that I cant be there really. I have already prepared the presentation and my dear Khairun also thought I was going to be there. My apologies, you guys know that I never miss any function unless I am really really sick. I am so proud of you Firdaus! Definitely one of my eaglets who is going to be creating a storm in this business.
For all computer geeks, if you want to know what is a portable app, go here. Some useful recommendations you dont wanna miss.
I just came back from an appoinment. I am still coughing and blowing my nose out but I really hate postponing appoinments. It was fantastic. I am glad I went. Now I have a few hours before going to IRIR at Singapore Expo to support my ex students perform! I have a million things to do this weekend and this flu is not helping.
Yesterday, my sweet uncle was sweet enough to send me and my girls home. As I was talking to him (digging information out of him), I discovered several information:
1. He started of working as a car mechanic (earning a few hundred dollars) and now he is a technical advisor earning 2k.
2. It took him 10 years to do that.
3. He is tired of working.
4. He doesnt have time.
As much as I was not suprise, I was quite suprised that being such a street smart person, he still fall for the 'I work hard and I will be successful lie'. He is doing well now but what was gone is time, he is over 30. Is climbing up this ladder the best thing to do?
I know that it probably will be the same for me. How many of us are expecting the company we worked for to increase our pay every year? Well, they probably will but to double your pay, it will probably take 10 years or more. Do you really want to wait that long? By then, the standard and cost of living will no longer be the same, including the rise of prices, inflation, its like being in a no win situation.
I told him that to be really successful financially, there is no way you can just depend on your job. If anything were to happen to him tommorrow, the company will not be paying him for the rest of his life. Its not rocket science to understand this.
So people do fall for this ancient way of thinking. Many people think that being successfully financially is all about money. Its partly true. For me, I am desperate not for the money but also the time. Everyone has 24 hours in a day but why do some people become successful and others just live in poverty? Its what we do with our spare time now that is going to make the future worthwhile all the hard work done today.
I realise that I have not mentioned what my dreams are. I have listed them below and you tell me if I am materialistic.
1. Financial Freedom
Not having to worry about money. Not making a decision based on how much money I have. No debts.
To retire my dad who have been working for donkey years and still seemed to be broke.
Building a home for the under priviledge kids. Kids are my life, I see so many kids going astray without the support of their parents. Some without parents. Where so they go without a home?
To sponsor the stray cat home at Pasir Ris. I have always wanted to volunteer in the cat home. These kind volunteers at the cat home now, use their own money for the cats food and medicine. All cats need love.
To adopt a few orphans and treat them like my own kids.
2. Time
To spend time with family, children, husband, parents and not with the boss. All children deserves full time parents.
To do what I like. Exploring creativity, reading, decorating, shopping.
To be closer to God.
So if you think that I am building this business because I am money minded or materialistic, you obviously do not now me well enough.
