From moving up to moving on ... JLSK or JeRene have finally reached the 'moving weekend'.
Yeap.
Jerry's all grown up now and found himself a lovely missus and is moving this weekend.
I think that this time around when he leaves, I will miss him. Unlike when he left for USA the last time. ;) No hard feelings eh? ;)
I will be helping on Sunday. Anyone else wanna help out? ;)
Stumbled across this from a pen pal's (yeah, we have been pen pals for eons now) site. Interesting stuff. You don't have to be passionate about your job. It's ok to compartmentalize; you can just do something from 9 to 5 to pay the bills, as long as the job leaves enough time, energy and money to do what you really want to be doing. So, for example, if you are really good at picking stocks but find it boring, and you love painting but could never get paid for it, there is nothing wrong with being a stock broker during the day even though it isn't your passion. I think it's silly and self-indulgent to be a starving artist when you could comfortably balance the two. In other words, I am not some hippie idealist who thinks you must just do whatever you are passionate about without considering the real world. The key, of course, is finding the balance. Don't let your job get in the way of your life either.
Having said that, it would certainly be ideal to find a job you DO love. It would be wonderful to wake up and get paid to do something you would do for free, even if it means you aren't making top dollar. My dad loves his job in that way (inexplicably) and I would love to find something like that. Maybe I will make a list sometime of things I love to do, and I will see if I can make a career out of any of them.
Even if you love your job, you aren't going to love it every day and you aren't going to love every aspect of it. It would be silly to expect that, and it would be stupid to reject a job that is only 97% good, or to quit every time you find yourself in a rut. If you continue to hate it for months or years, you might want to consider other alternatives. But you will have to show some stick-to-it-iveness, so expect it.
People in my generation will probably have a lot of different careers. Nobody does the 'company man' thing anymore. So I need not stress over this decision as if I am setting my fate in stone.
Having said that, though, people in my generation are absurdly self-indulgent in the way they flit between jobs as if they will be young forever, stopping off at mom and dad's basement when they can't find a job they 'love'. I don't want to be that guy any more than I already have. At some point, you do have to just pull the trigger and grow up and do something. We can't keep 'discovering ourselves' into our 40s.
Hmmm ... I reckon that for the longest time, I figured that I AM the quintessential Company Man, and right now, even with all the shit, I'm still ok with it. Most days I am happy.
Isn't that what matters? ;)
... to the Queen of Redd. Finally my blog looks better than that cruddy blue.
Yay!
I'm drowning in work here. Thank goodness for pressure relievers like blogs. 10 minute break! back to the grind!
Ok, this post was hilarious from Ben's site because firstly of the pic. Trust Ben to get the most crass pictures and brazenly show it to the world. Anyhoo, it got censored by the Board (read - Aunty Janice). Sigh ... what's the point of freedom of speech anyways? ;) I can't seem to find the picture online - and a search on google images turned up pictures that were ... erm ... didn't have anything related to our furry friends. Seriously.
Ok ... got the pics from Ben. Ha ha ...
Ok, this is pre-edit.
Ok - Post - edit:
Anyway, here's what the post was about - Malaysian's Leading More Exciting Sex Lives. Apparently, Ben's having a 'dry' season. I must be suffering from drought then. *cough* *cough*
I need someone's help in getting that damned banner in place.Any ideas?
Think I will ramble on more about my family soon ... but first - one cousin who is going up, up and away ... 
well geographically, he's kinda going South East ... but hey.
ah hah! :)I've got the bug of looking around for tattoos again ... here's a nice one from Julian's page.
Nice eh?
I'm thinking of getting my Family Name tattooed somewhere ... not sure yet where though ...
this is MY tattoo at the moment :) ... wish I had a better picture though ...
