Adherence

This reminded me of why i didn’t like to sing. In spite of the amount of belief I have about people being able to learn and accomplish anything they want to eventually as long they practice, this simply was not one of them. Yes. ANother one of those singing events our wonderful GRC has organized to let the elderly showcase their talent. So too is the performance of Sheng Siong participants. But it is more the loss of child-like innocence that seems to affect me most. What could transform young kids into a performer on stage who seems to have grasped the adult concept of sexual innuendo instead of Nintendos.

TOmorrow i’ll have to go to the Telok Blangah centre. I did say i’d go to the larger meetings. (which seem to happen pretty frequently) This Yu Shu thing whatever it is, hopefully can provide me with some wisdom at a point in time when things are looking pretty bland.

Did not schedule my day today. And..of course nothing happened for me. I should restart this to a 3 week course. Just like in the army, 3 weeks of daily actions become habits.

My chart hasn’t seem to have any effect on dad yet. perhaps its not solid enough. I should add in the dollars sign and probably a total for that. and i should separate the family costs and his personal costs. just to highlight his charges are. But my next most immediate project should be to explain in a way that unmistakably shows how taking up another plan is cheaper for him.

After a few days of letting my thoughts settle, media planning is still cool in the sense i can work and see ideas all day long. But then…i’m still not really getting paid for ideas. Wouldn’t it be better if i get paid for GENERATING ideas?

And how does that correlate to marketing and branding? Isn’t that more to do with strategic thinking, critical analysis, research on insights etc.

Lately money issues have been coming to mind. i don’t think i need a big house and car (as unbelievably as that might sound) but i do wan to feel liberation from money issues. As in the things i want to buy like books and all, i should not have to think twice before getting them. Is that the same thing as the houses and cars just that its on a smaller scale??? perhaps i haven experienced their allure yet as they are still quite unreachable from me. But even so, i must remember the pitfalls of forever pursuing a “better” life in terms of materialistic possessions. Of course there will never be a limit to what a person can get. There will always be a comparison as humans inevitably use this as a yardstick to see how good the things he has are. And once you finish comparing your possessions you start to measure your friends etc….
