Life should be wonderful

If our lovely Najib, or all those YAB(Yang Amat Berhormat), really care about their citizen, wanna know what is their citizen's problem is, the best way they should do is, go take train, bus, or stand at bus station, listen to people gossip, know what people's concern now.

If I still at Malaysia, I will not have chance to take public transport everyday. But now I at Singapore, and do not have enough money to have a car, (car is a luxury here, for me), I had to spend around an hour everyday, taking bus, train, then bus again to reach office.

So I meet a lot of people everyday, listened to their conversation. And as expected, 90% of their conversation are more toward complaining. Complain about boss, colleagues, life, house-owner, etc. Ya, life is never perfect, and we have tons of reason to complain, when things turned against us. But there are so much of wonderful things happen everyday too. But people tend not to discuss about that, maybe complaining will bring sympathy from other people. People like to be comforted.

But, when u see teenagers, they are so happy normally. Chit-chat each other, playing around, talking about wonderful things, etc. We had time like them before, but since when we start to lose our sense of being happy, always look things at negative perspective, not considerable, etc? Life pressure changed us? I dunno.

Life should be wonderful. Being alive is already wonderful enough.

Work Life Balance

Time flies, Opps, I should say "rocketed" since start working. It had been 4 years working.

When looked back, how much things I had achieved for my 4 years in secondary schools, 4 years in University, but I hardly wrote out anything what I had achieved in 4 years time of working.

4 years in secondary school, I had my wonderful times in school, grew from a small young boy, too a matured teenager. Bulid life-long friendship with best friends, doing a lot of crazy/stupid things.

4 years in University, grew from a small kampung boy, to a hot-blood young man. Knowing how corrupt our country are, start care about others, etc. Build strong, good friendship with course-mates, while build my profession in career.

4 years working life, we got money, but in-exchange with our time. We had miss out so much of great things. Our life become machinery life, morning wake-up, go work, fight fight fight, at night back home, dinner, sleep. When schedule a meet up with friend, the schedule is by months. Even very close friend, we might meet up 6 months once, 1 years once. Everyone is busy.

So how to motivate ourselves during weekend, or maybe after work? If you work until 11pm everyday, you will slowly lost all your friend, because you are so hard to be invited, sooner or later, your friend will give up on you, and you had to spend your whole life in office.

Having a relax dinner with close friend helped. At least they remind you that, your life is not only work. You can talk about all things other than work, complaining to each other, talk about old sweet time.

Listen to some soft music. It helped to remind you that, you are not machine, you still have feel, you still know how to appreciate good music. My way of express thing is so terrible, and I guess nobody will able to feel what I wish to say now. Maybe is due to language, or maybe is due to I am really not a good writer. Just give me some times, I will improve.
