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.
Don't ever call me this. / Bombed! / Re-inspired and re-excited! / Best quality to have - especially for you guys / Shoe Hunt / Dream house / 5 more minutes............ / Well enough! / Doing what you love and making money / Basic knowledge you die die must know /
A series of overcomings / Saturday, July 05, 2008 @ 1:38 AM
This test in scarily accurate. I may look like I am going after money but in actual fact, it is time thats what I am truly after. I can always earn money but time gone will never come back.
It has been a terribly hectic week. So I guess it shall be this way for the next ________? Honestly I know that this job was going to be temporary, no matter how much I love doing it. While I keep the big picture in my mind, I have to constantly remind myself to get the REAL WORK that needs to be done urgently outside of job. The funny thing is, the job and everything at work is going so well for me, even better than my expectations, but at the same time, it is the sole distraction for me. I have had to disipline myself a lot this week but there are still so many loose ends that needs to be tighten. I shall finish it off!
Today I would like to introduce you to the meaning of the word 'busy'.
- If you have more than 5 hours of sleep everyday, you are not busy.
- If you have time to watch the tv for at least 30 mins a day, you are not busy.
- If you spend more than 30 mins a day doing things you love (hobby), you are not busy.
- If you get to watch the movie at least once in a few months, you are not busy.
- If you have spend a few hours shopping per week, you are not busy.
- If you find yourself having nothing to do at home relax, you are not busy.
So, if you fit in any one or more of the above, please do not tell me you are busy. And busy at work is not counted as work is meant to be busy. If you are not busy at work it means that you are nobody there or people do not trust your capability.
This week sees me in exhaustion due to the late nights and lack of sleep. However I know that what needs to be done, needs to be done and it will not magically happen by itself. I was quite satisfied but I know that there are so many rooms for improvement.
It is almost like challenges are designed to come in groups. I had the challenge with my hp not working properly and I had to personally go out on Mon and Tue night to get it fixed. 2 nights! Wasted time at the phone shop. Due to that too, probably many of you were not able to call me or receive any response for me. I had some mess up today too when I receive a message too late via sms (NO thanks to my phone!) and I was already ready. Hmm..last minute and important messages should never be in the form of sms.
I am sorry, I shall change my phone to a new one.
I just came back from PASE followed by Leaders Night Owl. It was awesome as always. I had already promised to get it done by next month and from now till then, I will be working on it constantly, nothing can distract me. I was tearing at Wed open meeting as YB was being recognised. It was the presence of his mum that teared me. Hope no one saw me. I was so excited and happy to see how happy the mum and brother were. It touches my heart and he is right, it all starts from home.
While sharing tonight at the night owl, I realise that no one, not even my team mates know the challenges that I have been going through. I have been quite bottled up and talking about it will not make things better. Therefore, I shall reserved my story when I get recognised one day, and that day will be very sooon. When you do get to listen to my challenges, you will laugh, you will tear, and you will sometimes do both at the same time. It is real, and I am glad that NO ONE in my team will get to go through the things I went through.
Even if they do, I know they can handle it. God never gives you any challenges or problems that you cannot handle. If you do not go through major challengers in your life, you will be of a weak character. A strong character can only be shaped when he/she is thrown challenges to further shape the character. Only then will they be able to lead, and others will have a respect for them.
Do not fear challenges, they are meant to be overcomed. Expect them, welcome them.
My dream of having a family member clap and cheer for me shall remain, and I hope my younger cousins will grow into adults much smarter than my current adult cousins. I have no intention of following the lifestyle of any of our aunties or uncles. Somebody, as soon as possible has to break this chain.

Perhaps I AM meant to be a writer/novelist one day. I am pretty sure I will spending time after retirement writing. And who says I am retiring at 65? :p
Look for the power of strength in you, it is there, you just do not realise it;)
Have a great and fruitful weekend.
