Its time
July 2, 2008
Havent posted for quite a bit of time but still surprised at how WP still sends traffic my way. looks like tagging really is pretty useful.
Zhanjing and Hwee Lee asked me to drop by their pasar malam store so i’ll probably head down there after the interview.
While i’ve been wallowing in WOW for these few days and with the announcement of Diablo 3….(seriously blizzard are u trying to get us killed playing ur games) sheesh. I was kinda worried of losing the edge, the desire of work and my passion in marketing. But when i got the call… my brain just snapped into action. My mind disconnects from my lvl 20 rogue. Instead of running around others back and stabbing them once or twice, i remember my days during entrepreneurship minor. I check out its website and what they’ve done so far, which is pretty much ineffective so far. I see improvments to be made, campaigns that I can hold, fresh ideas to implement, and i get so excited! so much to do. to use my knowledge, in a quantifiable way. And THAT’s what you call passion. Being able to wake up and be excited to go to work. Money is really not the issue as long as you pay me enough to make my mental threshold 2.5k satisfied. Man as mentioned many posts earlier, cannot make objective assessments about anything. Everything is relative and as such, without a comparison, 10k is meaningless. Just like 1K is also meaningless. Which explains why people love to compare. Its an inbuilt mechanism for judging the value of STUFF.
As always, i believe that as long you follow your heart, the money will come. Sounds idealistic? Not at all. To me that’s the most practical thing. How realistic can you be if you’re doing something you don’t like 9 hours a day, 6 days a week, 25 days a month, 300 days a year?! And telling yourself, that…”this too shall pass”.
Come on MAN?! That’s called being unrealistic. Face it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. There’s little two ways about it. Maybe if you haven’t found something you really like yet then that sorta gives you an excuse, but really, we should all have a passion for something. It gives you the fuel to keep going in the morning and to sleep a fulfilled man.
Rachel just started teaching and its her 2nd week in school. Seems like she’s not that happy there but then again maybe its just me. Hope she’ll be happier after getting used to the work and environment and kids.
