sailing soon. not sure if should be scared or excited.

3 Months

It has been 3 months since i decided to join the navy and set off to tekong. at the start of everything 3 months seems so long and you thought that it would never end, but bmt pass faster than you thought then all of a sudden it is over. it is then the beginning of the next phase and two weeks later, we will all be seperated again. from 12 to 9 to 6. a different platoon a different section.haiz. guess that is life.

missed our bunk in tekong.

taurus 3! up ah!

The Day I Turned In My Employee Badge

050707 marks the day i turn in my employee badge and ending my first official job after graduation. It also marks the preparation for another major decision that i had made in my life. one i hope i don't regret. it's already too late for any regrets.

放手一搏

Simple mathematics. If I live until 65. I am not going to count the year where i am old and walking at snail pace... (Please note that this is an estimation. I might longer or I might liver shorter. I mean who knows...) Then I am 23. So...

65- 23= 42

42years= 2184weeks=15288days=366912hours

If I sleep 8hrs a day on an average... and i do need to sleep everyday. then the amount of time is = 8(15288)= 122304hrs
--> no. of hour left= 366912-122304=244608hrs

If i work an average of 9 hours a day for 5 days a week. ( This is not including OT or if i work somewhere where there is no 5 days work week)
amt of time spend working= 5(2184)(9)=98280hrs
--> no. of hours left= 244608-98280= 146328hrs

if i spend an anverage of 4 hours doing other stuff (like eating, showering etc..) then= 4(15288)= 61152
--> no. of hours left= 146328-61152= 85176hrs

85176hrs thats all i have left of my life to do whatever i want. that might sound like alot but infact:
85176hrs= 9.75years.

9.75years to see the world, to do whatever i want to do. NOT ENOUGH TIME!

so to increase time to see the world= decrease time spend in working. Every 1 year i spend less in working= 52(5)(9)= 2340hrs more to do what i want. so early retirement is the answer!

to have an early retirement and be rich enough to see the world in what ever way i want= i have to 放手一搏.

If i get to retire at 40... I will have 120276hrs of free time= 13.75years...

12 Hours to Boracay

it is worth it. i want to go again.

Boracay

Back from Boracay. Waiting for next year's.

Work Like You Do Not Need the Money

When? When can i work like i no need the money. Work because i want to, because it is something i love. All i know is that currently this is impossible. Not at this moment, not anytime. But I know one day i will. One day, I will travel the world. One day, I will see at the best seat at The Phantom of the Opera. (I will see phantom walk on the top of the stage, I will see a whole corpse, not only the legs of the Corpse.) One Day...

Okay stop dreaming and back to work...

Long Weekend

Yeah! it is thursday with a long weekend to look forward to. When you stuck in the big old boring working world what more could you ask for right. ok, maybe more annual leave and a higher pay or a more interesting job scope. But right now, i shall be content with the 4 days long week-end. away from all the e-mail answerings and phone ringging, free to do what i want= slack at home and watch tv?
WAHAHA...

Finally IT IS FRIDAY

Finally IT IS FRIDAY. ITS FRIDAY FRIDAY lalalalala... ok maybe it is a bit too much. But really nothing much you can look forward to when you are working.

So currently these are my goals for every day and every week:

Short Term Goal: Lunch Time

Middle Term Goal: End Work

Long Term Goal: Friday!

Longest Term Goal: Pay Day

Pay day is every important to me... someone who live pay chequeto pay cheque. haha. There is so many thigs to buy but only so much vitamin M.

珍惜眼前的幸福

when i was a student i thought i had it bad... having to go to school, having to take exams, having to do reading having to attend lectures tutorials and having to do all the projects and coping with all the labs reports and deadlines. THEN I HAD TO GO TO WORK... then i realised that being a student is not bad at all.

First of all, there is at least of variety of activties i can choose from instead of the mundane routins stuff that i have to do. secondly, i can choose whether i want to do it at all, how i want to do it and when i want to do.so there is the freedom of choice, instead of a protocol and ways and rules to do things. last but not least i can go to any websites be it school or private in any part of the school in lecture or or any where, hell i can even watch tv if i want to. cos the school at least in that sense believe that we are old enough to decide whether we want to attend the lecture and old enough to ne responsible for the decision we make. so the is the webcast and there is the tv, it is up to us what we want to watch.

when i went out to work, it is like all of a sudden i am back to primary school where i have to ask for permission for everything i do, and mark attendence for every class.. hell there might be even be a class monitor reporting you to the teacher... damn. why am i going backwards?

Same Theory.

Same as what YIH have done last time, my company decided to turn the aircon to a super low temperature in hope that our brain cells will not rot as fast. However, what the difference is that last time in YIH, it is due to over usage of the brain (cramming last mintue stuff before exams) thus causing the degenration of the brain cells. This time, it is in hope that with the low temperature our brain cells will not degenrate from the LACK of usage. Bleach, this then results in me wearing jacket and jeans and still feeling cold. ontop of it, i STILL feel my brain cells dying off. so, what is the point man.

New Year!

Another year have passed. no more bidding or planning time table ( not that i got plan) for me. fully inducted into the working world... being financially independent. realised that being financially independent is not easy at all, there always seems to be so many things to pay and so many things to buy and monsy never seems to be enough. takes a lot o f planning and budgeting and alot alot of self control and discipline, which i think i totally lack last year... need alot more improvement this coming year. so my new year resolution:

开源节流= more money to spend and more money to save and more money to pay " loan shark"
--> more discipline and self control

lead a more healthy lifestyle ---> try to excerise more.

be happy ---> most important

Japan Tokyo

Motorola L7 and SHA3288S

Attention to who ever pick up my Motorola L7 onboard Comfort Cab SHA3288S on 25 OCT:

I LOST MY MOTOROLA L7 on the 25th October 2006 on a Comfort Taxi SHA3288S. Yes, the phone that i won at the Adventure Singapore 2006, the phone where i had to run , climb, swim absail, cycle to get. So if you happen to take a comfort cab on the 25th October between the time of 8.40pm to 10.30pm and happen to pick up a motorola HP please return it to ME. Yes! i know you took my phone during this period of time and TURN IT OFF on purpose and REFUSE to pick up my call and REFUSE to return my phone to me.

I am telling you there is such thing as karma out there. one day you are going to drop your phone somewhere and nobody is going to return it you. Nobody, and no one is going to sympathise with you because it is your karma. And also, you are going to be on my cursed list forever. You have a phone, you know how you are going to feel when you lost your phone. so for goodness sake, return my phone to me. my phone contains many pictures, contacts and memories that are irreplacable. so please, just return my phone to me.

To you it is just a phone that you can either sell to earn some quick cash, or use as a spare. You can get that easily, for that i would have to replace all my contacts, lost all my irreplace pictures, spend more money and go through all the troubles and emotional trauma. (NOT including getting scolded by my mum.) All this so that you can get a spare phone which you don't even have a charger for goodness sake! You have to buy another charger, while my spare Motorola charger is just going to sit at home collecting dust. So in all, I am telling you....

RETURN ME MY PHONE.

p.s. anyone with any leads of where my phone might be, or you out there decided that you already have enough fun playing with my phone and would like to return it to me. I can be contacted at irau_wei@yahoo.com.sg.
