are you happy?

these few days of unexpected break really did gave me ample time to think about stuffs. stuffs about life, about work... about relationship...

some ppl may say if u believe in what u are doing ur pay don't matter, but what if one day u find that u are not earning enough; u start noticing how miserable ur pay is, how your office culture disgust you, does it mean that u dun believe in what you do anymore?

i believe it's hardly the case, but we've all got to face it... can passion alone feed u? (of cos we are not talking about lawyers, doctors and the likes of it..)

at the end of the day, if you are hungry; be it biological, psychologically or socially, 'happiness' is far-fetch.

are you happy?

being immerse in work has made me oblivious to things that are happening in my life. even though at the back of my mind, i know these people will always be there. sometimes i would talk myself into believing that they are, too, busy with their own life. but isn't it how, people gradually grow apart?

the truth is, i know people around me are being very understanding of the circumstance that i am in. there is also the 'expectation' that they would be, as they can see for themselves how much time i spend at work. i admit that i had said things like "i'm so tired, why dun they understand?" but on hindsight, I also asked myself, am i also being understanding to them?

it just so happens that when time is at stake, between all the other commitments, somehow work has to come first, by default. it's usually your friends and family's time being compromised. you then comfort yourself by say 'i'll make it a point to hang out with them next week'. but by next week, you'll say 'i finally got a weekend off, maybe i should just spend it doing nothing'.

all those talks about work-life balance... unless you make work your life... otherwise... i really have no idea how anyone can get away with it.

the answer is.. i'm grateful for the nice people i meet at work who makes it easier to bear... but i believe i can be happier...

hence...

it's really only a matter of time.

i just have to decide how soon.

对‘有钱人’的看法

所谓的‘有钱人’有两种

一中是靠自己的血汗换来的,对这些人,我非常佩服。但也要对他们说声‘don't forget how you got there’

另外一种是我个人非常有意见的,那就是‘含着金钥匙出生’的那一类型。

以为自己‘老北’,‘老布’有几个臭钱就拽个不行。

一副瞧不起人的嘴脸,说话没有分寸,以为有钱就可以解决问题,真的很令人憎恶。

做人‘aga aga’就好。

厉害自己去赚啦!

harvest

you know you have done something good when...




in the beginning,

(first 5 min of the home visit)

"你要走了没有?"


now,

(after an hour)

"你要走了meh? 这么快?"


this is when I know it's harvest time; time to reap the good seeds that i've sowed.

all the hard work, indeed paid off, and it's worth every minute of my miserable life.

now its just time to make sure that I keep the weevils away; away from contamination.

broken tap




最近因为家里发生了一些事情,使得我心情很郁闷。

人若对事物有所期望,就必为期望做好失望的心理准备。

不知怎么的,对那些关系越密切的人,要求总是比较高一些。



难道真的是我庸人自扰吗?



不知不觉地,我的水龙头似乎坏掉了。
