Unsocial Yourself


I find this fascinating. But I suppose you do go through the cycle of wanting friends badly and frantically and then realizing that you have probably added more pest in your life than friends. So here's the solution.

New Year Resolutions - II

As I grow up, I realised that my new year resolutions is less and less about "myself", and more and more about someone/something else.


It used to be - rock climbing, surfing, snow boarding, kayaking, drums, round the world trips, diving etc etc.

Now it's more like - volunteering, mentoring, picking up some sentimental skills/things that I left out as a child, ie. piano etc.

New Year Resolutions - I

A few years back I started the habit of having new year resolutions for myself, it's less because I wanted to, but mostly because I have all these goals and little intentions to achieve them. But according to some motivational books I read back then, it said, "writing down your goals motivates you to do 'em".

I have started writing them down since then, and in a way the book was right. In fact it has gone so far into making into my daily work task list, where I made a point that if it isn't on my task list on the day, it won't be done. If it is, it will be.

Conflicts


I hate conflicts, I really do.

Sometimes I don't understand myself, why, I hate conflicts,
It could be because the fact that;

I am born the year of the goat,
or the month of Aquarius,
or the fact that I am different, brought up, history, or probably both.

I came from a small town, a really small town. A town that has it's own credentials, but small, which justifiably fades into the background, because nowaday everything is almost about power.

And my home town has no power, or status, anymore. Economics has justifiably export all that is worth. Nowadays, there's actually little left, but our roots, and dignity. Asked why we would sell everything? To the name of economics. Which is probably debatable as a separate topic.

But people from a small town, at times still do appreciate different things; like the ability to fish, toy through rivers, experiment with mud, trees, and probably everything thing else that in a way that the city kids were deprived of.

In the sense that all that is lost, there's actually a history that is not hard to understand. We actually don't want to let go easily of what we know, because we don't want to.

Manager who?

I think being a manager is a bit like being a parent sometime; when you can no longer pick your favourites, and you start to recognise that you're actually personally responsible for the wellbeing of the people less authoritative than you.


And you should no longer ask, "hey how's going", and ignore the response.

And you might just be ready, when you no longer ask, "hey how's going", just because you have to, you ask, because you wanted to.

Avatar Afterthoughts


I don't think earthlings are necessarily all evil, when sense gets beat into them as they mature, they do tend to mellow and become a little less self centered; however *generally* still amazingly short sighted, unfortunately.


p/s Avatar does have an important message to deliver, even though it should already be obvious. Do watch it if you like.

Globalization

Globalization is a double edge knife. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, someone who's from a country of stronger currency could deserve a much better life from your resources, even though you both worked just as hard in life - you're just not as lucky.

No Pork Chops for you.



Sometimes I wonder how much we care about our young, next generation. I know we give them *most of the time* direct support, love, care, but indirectly, do we?

You know that as individual, people, countries; we borrow money right?

The simple concept of borrowing money means you're essentially trying to afford/enjoy something NOW which you haven't yet earn, in another words - cannot afford.

The concept of lending, printing money and issuing bonds would do just that and we do that everyday day; as a nation, earthlings, we are essentially borrowing "resource" from the future in the form of money so we can afford what we cannot afford now.

Yes you can argue that besides the overeating, over-indulgence, and over explorations are all part of the process of building the infrastructure and systems for our future generation. But imagine this:

" Dear unborn, when you read this I will no longer be here, we love you which is why we have built you sky scrapers, buildings, and banking systems! But we regret to have left you no porkchops, no more seafood, no green forrest, oh and here're some 100 year bond bills that mature.. probably about now, don't forget to pay okay or they may charge interest on top. Love, Past generation."

Xmas Drinkies

Xmas Drinkies, as much as you like to think that it's different, it's all the same.


Tonight I ran into this old-ish guy at work drinkies today, he asked what I do at work, rather than saying I work for my company, I was bluntly honest, "yes I work here, I manage the supply chain, and at the end of the day, it's not what products I look after, I make the process work", somehow he was utterly impressed, and said I got it sussed.

He's in the same industry as me, he admits he's in the business of managing people - be it his past role in Manufacturing, Mining, Finance, and then support and then Account Manager.

To him, it's all the same, to him, it's the people.
To me, I still fix things.

Awareness

I think it's sad for someone to live an extremely logical life: when you can predict what your bosses want, which project is gonna stuff up (and thus you actually secretly fix it in the backend), when you can answer almost everything your bosses and colleagues are trying to find fault on, when you can clearly distinguish between the desire to have stir fry or pasta that day, or your thirst for a glass of port vs a red wine to go with it, and clearly see what it means to be human like how a cat couldn't resist a swaying string.


When little actually surprises you, but the illogical side of you that you hide.

" Although today is always the first day of the rest of your life, you can't hope to change everything, forever, in an instant. You are a product of all your yesterdays and if you try to cut yourself adrift from these, you may find that the boat of good intention soon sinks in the ocean of habit and tradition. " - Cainer

Coffee Conspiracy Theory


There's sometime this conspiracy theory at work that management will switch coffee supplies into the worst brand of coffees so that no one would drink it - How much do you think management will save?

I dunno how much companies can save, but I know how much people can spend otherwise out of pockets.

1. Instant coffee - freeze dry/plunger coffees. Average $0.50 a day.

2. Sometimes espressos from the coffee guy $4 a pop.

That's an average of $130 a year up to $1040 per annum, per person.

The Gray Area

And so we can't always win, we can't have it all, we're not always right, and we're definitely not perfect - so we must be somewhere in between, right?

So it's possible that we're, life is, a constant flux of affairs.
Because we are a bit of everything that make up the way that we're.
We're not perfect, we may defy change, but we're unique.

Xers & Nexters Autisticism



My dad calls me an autistic child the other day due to my inability to respect widely recognized authorities - I said from a personal perspective respect should be earned, and he said I am just autistic.

Autistic:
• a mental condition in which fantasy dominates over reality, as a symptom of schizophrenia and other disorders.

I still disagree.
No kidding I just think we're different.

If you want to employ a traditionalist you tell them job security, and if you want to employ generation X or Y for goodness sake tell 'em it's an opportunity.

Soul's Little Thoughts

Soul-less Moments:
  • Monday mornings, especially one without a coffee
  • An empty bottle when you need it the most
  • Very Hungover
  • When we collide, where we then travel in parallel like a track that never meets
  • Times in life - when you feel like you'd everything, but you'd nothing
Soulful Moments:
  • A big cup of coffee on Monday mornings, especially one you don't have to pick up and pay for
  • When I can fall so far yet miss the ground
  • When your palm glide across my skin telling me that you will always be there
  • Things like the fact that I probably do dance like a wiggly worm, or finger
  • Knowing that we can still hold on

New Year

As I was having dinner tonight my mum mentioned that she read about my horoscope fortune for next year and she said it's very me - I was surprised that she even read that stuff.


Aquarius 2010:

It's easy for you to make big money if you work hard, and there are also times when you're so broke that it's not even funny, but not as if it bothers you either way because money to you is just a mean to an end.

(wow.. what an exciting year to look fw to.. zzzz)
