Not emo.
There are reasons.
Not happy.

IRC Agenda
Recently met some new friends on IRC.
Its cool. And i realised that the culture of "Hi..intro...stay.... seek..." is pretty much alive !
That's ok by me. And I made it clear to whoever pm me that I am seeking friends - only.
Really. And I think this level of honesty and clarity can lead to purely interesting chat about life and such.
So I think, in the end, we can have proper net conversations. As long as you make it clear and the other person is ok with it.
Semper fi !

7 Days into Project 100 days
Been watching what I eat. Cutting down the carbs and concentrate on higher protein content.
Been to gym 3 days in a week, less days of visit but higher hours of workouts.
Will change strategy next week. Shorter hours but making it a daily event.
Cardio Cardio Cardio.
I need endorphins. Need to feel happy.

Weddings & Birthdays
Attended a Malay colleagues wedding. It is such a colorful culture, with pomp and great feast.
I am happy to be invited.
As with balance of all things, some tears were shed when the time came for the bride to be sent off, with the poetic beats of the kompang.
And later today, attending the birthday party of a friend's sister. Looking forward to the happy event.
I need to feel happy.

Perspectives
Was surprised by a little piece of info.
Was shocked but too busy to take it all in.
Now that I was given time amidst being busy. I am glad.
It gives me the space to breathe in and out and see things in perspective.
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

3 + 3
In the midst of bustling activities
at work
the day arrived silently.
My thanks to all
who sent their well wishes.
Thanks.
And with abated breath
I look ahead to another
year of adventure.

Traumatic Thursday
It had been a real roller coaster ride.
To me its a crisis.
And whenever I meet with this infrequent event,
all things fall apart,
naturally.
There will always be
unreturned phone calls,
unreplied sms
unanswered voicemails.
The reason is
I am a problem solver.
When I get into that mode
I focus until a suitable solution is found
to abate the crisis.
In that time-frame,
I will be in the middle
of that turbulent world.
Until chaos meet order,
my mind will be meeting that wave head-on.
Thursday was one such day.
29 hours of chaos
and still continuing.
I apologise if I had not been
as available as required.
It was rough.
And I hope it wasn't
as rough for you.
Before I caught my
1 hour sleep
this morning, I decided to
warm my emotions up a little
with this clip.
Have a Fantastic Friday !

Financial Planning
In my appointment yesterday
I revisited and reaffirmed
my duty and purpose
as a financial planner.
The client has problems
which is not uncommon to many people today.
For the client, I became a reality check.
Looking back, my words were cold and of little comfort.
I didn't expect the client to be able to sit thru
the 2 hours review session with me.
Uncomfy - yes but a stark reminder.
At that point, I know
this client cannot afford to get
financial product from me.
Yet, I kept going.
I didn't scold the client of course.
I encouraged the client to make a decision.
To solve the financial problems.
To shelve dreams and aspirations.
To deal with it now.
It was decided.
And I am happy to have done it together with the client.
We created the Plan.
The solution.
Even though it was a bitter pill to swallow
for the client,
I am glad I was there to help.
Some may think I wasted time.
Wasted money cos I bought coffee.
I didn't think so,
instead I believe that
in the more divine scheme of things
I am the right person to help
this person at that time,
to make a life-changing move for the better.
That to me is one of the key purpose of being
a Financial Planner.

Still Tinkering Around
I realised that I am not as savvy with IT stuff
as before.
Been trying to affix a counter to this blog
but to no success.
Aaaargh... must be old liao.
Slow.

ABBA
Lotsa memories flood back with those songs from immortalised ABBA.
Could still remember watching their performance on my grandmas old boxy TV in our kampung home.
They were the craze and it seems that they are still the craze.
Mambo still worship them every Wednesday with youngsters dancing to cult-like dance moves.
But it was a good movie. Featuring some less played songs of ABBA.
And most importantly,
I smiled through the movie with good company.
Nice.
