I am greed….because I am human.

It has been 1 year 9 months I am with my current company. My office is located in highly luxury area with probability of me bumping into rich person equivalent to 100%everyday.

Things that I never expect to see everyday seem to be part of my daily life. Seeing prospects customer carrying branded bags from Gucci, Prada to LV, driving side by side with Ferrari, BMW and newest version of Mercedes, dining the same café with datin and datuk……..really give me a boost of how to be a young millionaire.

People always say I am a rushing guy. Everything want to be fast. Want to earn fast money. Want to get promoted faster and so on….

But why not?

Can't I have my dream?
Can't I have a goal?
Can't I have a direction?

I am sick to look at how rich is people....and I want to be as rich as them....
I am not a 'pai ka chai' but i just want to earn money and make my life and my family life a little bit better than now....

Am I greed then? Yes, I am....but i am greed for good.....because I am human....and greed is just human nature...

Life is priceless

From small I was educated that life is the most important things. There is nothing that can be more valuable that one life as it was gift from god and no one would take it away except god.

In today environment, life seem to be very cheap. Day by day, we saw people dying in vain. Day by day we saw animal been torture. Day by day, we saw accident taking life unpredictably.

I saw a clip on youtube of how a gal involve in accident, manage to call back the family while waiting for ambulances but she die before the ambulance arrive. The reason being the ambulances come too late.

When i was small, i like to torture animal. I like to scope the fish in the aquarium using the net and see them struggle for water and put them back...Repeat for few times just for the fun of it. When i grow up, I know my action was so cruel, so naive and so childish.

Since then i have change a lot. Start from joining red crescent team and then st john ambulance. When I was in university, i donate blood, do charity work besides from actively criticising animal cruelty. When i start to work and have extra money, i adopt a kid from world vision. I do that because i understand that life is priceless.

I am very sad when i saw people commit suicide. I don't see the rational of them doing that. To me, it bring more trouble to their loves one.

I am very sad looking at animal been tortured. People buy good dog for play and fun. When it was a puppy, the love them because they are cute. When it get older and sick, the owner will just dump it away. I am extremely sad looking at the irresponsible people throwing away dogs especially those happen in Pulau Ketam where they left the dog at inhabited island.

I am sad to look at youngster do not appreciate life by speeding on the road and acting to be macho and end up in accident. I am sad to see heavy smoker ignoring their life. I am sad to see alcoholic risking their organs with poison drink. I am more sad looking at naive people entering into drug addiction.

Life is really priceless. One person only have 1 opportunity to live in the world and thus we need to appreciate it. Some say, because it was a one opportunity, I might as well try everything even drugs. Well, that is individual judgement, but bare in mind, the impact and the future of your life.

Appreciate life before it is too late. Think before you do everything because life is priceless....

Up...Up

Special Announcement,

Petrol Ron 95 and Ron 97 will increase by 5 cent starting today midnight. Ron 97 will subsequent be floating at market price without any subsidy from the government.

This would be the phase one of government 'kind' initiative to avoid country from spending too much on the subsidy and not to tie up the cash flow of the country and avoid country going into crisis...Erm...hope so...

Cooking oil and sugar will also increase starting from tonight 12am...

Enjoy the jam for those who is rushing to petrol kiosk or supermarket...hehe

Is no longer me

It have been a while since my update of my life.

Many things happen within the period...

I come back from Vietnam after a horrible experience. I love Malaysia, that is what I can say...

Have terrible exam, but remain positive while waiting for result...

Run for 4.5km race within 10 hours after arriving from Vietnam....doing good and now register for more race...

Get a good offer but reject it...yeah sound crazy and dump, well that is me, Eddie...

Many things have change....mentality, maturity...and lifestyle....Well, when I declare Change as my motto of the year, it seem hanging for the first half of the year...All because of my exam result, but this round, no matter what happen, I hope I can change for a better future...

Football Flu

Well, most of us have high fever over football this few weeks...

but for some gambler, flu might be the word to replace fever...

Good team such as Brazil, Argentina and Italy have early exit this year...

To make thing even interesting, an octopus now come into the picture....

When all the world is hunting for the octopus to be kill and cook...

but at least, i think the gambler will like the octopus....

I am not the strongest

For many years, people had think that I am a very strong guy...Stong in term of mentally not pyshically...hehe...

Frankly i m not....not always i m strong as it is...No doubt i can make firm decision for many many things but when it come to my life especially those involve my future life, I am very skeptical. I am very careful.

Being making many many wrong decision in the past. I learn that not always I can make the right decision but once i made those decision, there is no turning back.

Maybe June is always a emo month for me. Again there is a moment, i stop by, refresh what I have done lately, considering all opportunity that appear in my life now...Is not easy....Is not easy as what to eat tonight....or what i am going to wear tomorrow..

I always like to refer to my friend when I have big headache for making a decision. I dun want to mess things up..

Frankly there is 3 huge headache that I have now......Non of them i will know the result until end of December....

Why is future so uncertain...Why is future not predictable....

Even a strongest man will one day feel loneliness, sadness, and uncertainty...I don't dare to call myself a strong guy, nor am i weak. I am just a normal guy like those on walking on the street.

It been such a painful journey and I can only cross my finger....and wait for the result....Hopefully it will be favorable....wonderful....and sweet...

Sport Betting ban

Malaysia Government announced that they are not issuing licence for sport betting....

What you think?

Advantage of legalising sport betting:
1. Regulate the gaming industry
2. Reduce the illegal betting
3. Reduce probability of people borrowing from loan shark....(maybe)
4. Increase income to country by charging taxes

Disadvantage of legalizing sport betting :
1. More people will start to gamble as it is legal
2. Tarnish the real purpose of sport spirit...

What ever it is, just remember, take risk according to your risk appetite....

Exam or Not

In my 16 years of studying, I had never agreed that exam is the best avenue to test a student. Probably some would argue with my statement but I always have the impression that exam do not able to test student 100%. We need a more systematic way of evaluating the student performance not just intellectual but also other prespective.

Lets see some of the exam I took before:

Penilaian Tahan Satu (PTS)
Purpose: Let student skip standard 4 and go straight to standard 5
Good impact: I save 1 bloody year and 1 year of school fees amounted to RM 15 (at that time)
Bad impact: I graduate younger, suffer in working life additional one year, been discriminated for graduating so young, need to explain to the whole damm world why I graduate and start work so young

UPSR
Purpose: To evaluate and standard and the entry point of secondary school
Good impact: Get into better school. Better class
Bad Impact: So what if I get full A? I still been posted to bad school anyway!

PMR
Purpose: To decide which stream of studies. Science vs Art
Good impact: better future career decision
Bad impact: So what if I get lot of A? I not allow to choose my stream because the school decided for us!

SPM
Purpose: To decide which stream of studies to major on and eligibility for STPM or college
Good impact: Scholarship to colleges, eligibility to studies major that we like
Bad impact: Still cannot get into local Uni....still, I ended up changing for science class to art stream studies..

So what for exam.....

Exam cannot test student ability to socialize, ability to work, ability to translate knowledge learn to the reality world....

So how? Ban exam?

Government should change our education system to be more relevant.

Exam - To test student knowledge
Assignment - ability of student to work and gather information and translate information into practises
Team activity - to enhance the ability of student to work in team
Sport - To ensure student are more healthy
Charity work - To sow the seed of love from the student and indirectly help to build strong characteristic of student.

I am tired of exam.....maybe ACCA can consider abolish exam also....wakakaka

Pudu Jail Down...

Over 100 years, pudu jail situated at the hot spot of KL have been an icon to KL. However these few years, the icon have been sore eye to the public as many vandalism had turn the beautiful structure into eye sore place.

Yesterday at strike of 10pm, the wall of the unique icon have been tear down leading to the very last 100 years buildings been demolished.

Many argue that it should be preserve as heritage....

Other believe that jail symbolize negative energy, being a place of punishment, icon of embarrassment to the country.

So what say you?

Heritage or Eye sore?

Back with more drama

Well, it have been more than 3 weeks since my last posting. Extremely tired and busy weeks I had...

Back from Vietnam and straight go for 4.5km run for Setia Eco Run....

Work for one day and proceed with exam leave for few days and exam!

I wasn't really happy with my performance in the exam. Questions are extremely tricky, I wasn't prepared enough and most probably my spirit is not high enough to kill the papers.

Back to work today and received 2 calls. In deep dilemma after the call....Should I? or shouldn't I? I am still thinking of the timing. Is not easy to make the decision....But one day I will need to do so...

Drama....So Drama....why a naive guy life must be full of so many drama....can't it be natural?

SWEAT!

Vietnam, Vietnam.....Here I am...

If there is one word that can summarize my very first day in Ho Chi Minh City, it would be 'ADVENTEROUS'.

Today flight was one of the worst I had ever take. The plane was extremely small and not spacious. In the middle of taxiing, the plane stop due to technical problem. The pilot have to call the engineer for advice before departing. After a delay, we end up having yet another nightmare. Worst landing ever with extremely break and shaking....Then the power when off...

Out of the airport, we was shock with the traffic horror...I would label it as roller coaster of Vietnam and the song of vietnam.....Ppl here honk like nobody business and basically there is no law in the road....Motorcycle is the king in the road....

Language is yet another barrier....From menu to invoices, internet to tv program, everything is Vietnamese.....I think they really love their country...

SWEAT! sweat because i have the worst culture shock ever.....my eye really pop up looking at the condition of the country....Well, I might sound jakun....but let it be...jakun as I am, the lifestyle here need a change.....maybe the war ended not long ago, so i believe in time to come, everything will be fine.

SWEAT again because the weather here is so dry and hot.....too hot that air-cond is not able to cool us down...

Well, let it be for another 2 weeks and i shall comment whether can I survive at this adventerous city....

Bye for now, keep updating

Abuse...

Well, it seem that Tiger Year, more tiger is been tortured rather than been treated as KING



Tiger Abuse In Malaysia

Klang is Back!

Yeah...is time for celebrate...Klang is soon coming to the same shape!

The newly constructed bridge is now open for usage....well, at least one way is open by now....

Another half of it was still on progress which I predict the road toward KL will still face the terrible jamming while those from KL will have a smooth drive ahead..

It have been yeeeeeeeeeeears since the construction and yesterday was a day of celebration when one of the way was finally open for usage. Well, lot of complaint by user saying that the bridge is illogical as users need to drive down a bridge and reconnected to another bridge...Why don't they just combine the bridge pararrel. Well, I believe it was due to 'cheaper' version since there is lot of financial problem involve in the bridge...

Anyway, no more jam soon....and well, Klang back to the original shape....too me, with the bridge or without the bridge, there is just no impact to the traffic in Klang just like 6-7 years ago. Still dun understand what the point of having the bridge when there is no different from the previous one!!!

Oil spill

There is a very sad news from the Gulf of Mexico last month regarding the Deepwater oil drill that blast and kills 11 workers and lead to hundred or maybe thousand barrel of oil been spilt into the sea water.

The danger of the oil spill was so devastated. Marine life is affected. Habitates for marine life is totally damaged and corals and small creature die.

The amount of oxygen reduced in the water. Fishermen lost their ricebowl. Sea bird die due to less food and feather filled with oil.

It have already been said as the biggest oil spill ever....

Everyone is affected and if it was not manage well, it will affect the whole world...and the marine life

Exam...exam.....exam...

Exam is coming.....

God, please bless me this June with lots of luck....

Peace!!

Money make life miserable

Money is root of all evil....

Why not...

Money create jealousy
When others earn more than us, we feel jealous
When others parent is rich than us, we feel jealous
When others have higher purchasing power, we feel jealous
When others have less obligation, we feel jealous
When others have more asset, we feel jealous

Money create competition
When others have more money, we aim to get higher than them
When others have less money, we aim to increase the gap from them

Money create stress
When others earn more money, we feel stress
When others earn less money, we also feel stress

Money create headache
When we earn too little money, we have headache to find better income, find better job
When we earn too much money, we have headache where to keep or invest the money

Money create confusion
When we have little money, we confuse why we have less money
When we have too much money, we confuse which currency is higher!!

Money create worries
When we have little money, we worries we cannot survive until tomorrow
When we have too much money, we worries we cannot survive today (robbery, murder)

So much evil that money bring to us, I still love money....
Because
Money is not everything, but when there is no money, everything seem nothing...

Maybe it was right

It was 2 oclock in the morning. Despite there is a bowling competition going on within 7 hours from now, I couldn't sleep at all. Is raining heavily and it was cold. A nice environment to sleep.

It was a very emotional night. The night where I know I have make the very wrong step since the very beginning and I have no U-turn back.

My friend asking me for a friend birthday celebration which I insisted not to go. My mood was extremely bad and I scare I couldn't control myself. I decided to decline. Then come a sms, saying it was a join celebration for my birthday as well. Though I am still heavy hearted to go, I decide to turn up at least not to disappoint my friend.

I know my friend is always there to make me happy. In deed, the 3 hours together was filled with laughter and enjoyment. Now the moment I am alone, I flash back what happen lately.

I know is way too late for a return. I know I am stuck in no way. I know jeolousy have added more fire. I understand money is always the root of all evil....But I am human. I have emotion. I do have anger.

Too many what happen today is small matter. Principally wise, I am not happy with such treatment, but logically wise, who have the power, have it all.

My friend refresh me what we learn way back, during the era where we have no other worries....

I learn that there is 3 days to earn money being:
1. Product make money - just like Bill Gates....
2. Money make money - just like many investor like Warren Buffet
3. Knowledge make money - which is simple...No need to be genius. Just use your wisdom and make money.

Lately I learn also that there might be the fourth category which is network make money.....Being serounded with hundred and maybe thousand of trustable friend, we can each join and make money. We start small but we can end up big...

Principal man earn nothing. Integrity generate no cash. That is what I always hear though I try not to believe it. Well, being auditors external and internally, I can strongly say people with integrity do not earn money fast...in deed it was a poor man. But what make an integrity person rich is the value in himself. Money can earn, but how much value can you value yourself? If you are a billionaire of 7 billion, you are a normal guy with 7 billion of assets....When you die, what respect, what honour, what rememberance you left behind? Is the pass records of humanity, wisdom and attitude that left behind.

Yup, to us who care the respect? To us who care the value we earn? To us, having a dollar and cent is what that count. The power to purchase, the power to decide, the power of freedom is what we value now...

YUP, maybe it was right...

It was right I shouldn't be angry....
It was right I have make the wrong decision....
It was right I screwed myself....

BUT, I am human...

I have done something right and I believe it was right...I deserve to be emo...
