Every Other Day

The pros and cons of being jobless.

Pros.

You get all the time in the world! Gaming, hanging out, waking up for lunch, sleeping when the sun comes up. Best lifestyle ever?

Cons.

One of the necessities in the modern age.

Money.

Basically without those pretty paper things that buy you stuff, you are basically stuck at home.

The worst part of this is that I have a car and insurance to pay for now. Last year around this time I was doing the same, lazing around at home and all. Same thing this year but with the burden of a car fucking loan.

Stupid car.

Manage to pay off everything with part time this month. I have to say that I kinda enjoy the lifestyle. Not having to worry about work. Sleeping all I want and working when I need the cash. But then again, I miss having cash to splurge.

I wanna buy pretty clothes! I wanna game! I wanna be able to afford a nice pint.

For now, those are off the limits. I can barely meet the debt I am required to pay. April is approaching and I will have to start saving up for another installment.

Damn.

Staying at home makes you insane man. Luckily, I have a nephew to babysit. No income there. Just a fussy little brat making your head hurt when it is his bedtime.

Just another obstacle in life...

Tough Road Ahead

Ok. So, I haven't been blogging much. What have I been up to?

Newsflash! I quit the events job that I was so looking forward to doing. Found out that events is just a crazy industry and people who work there needs to have a lot of passion and really enjoy what they are doing. At least now I can say that I have tried it and it was not my cup of tea.

Since I quit my job there, I am pretty much jobless. I have a car and insurance to pay for. Not to mention other expenses such as food, petrol, phone.

I AM FUCKED.

Looking at joining accounting firms soon. Sent out a couple of resumes but I haven't heard from them yet. Last resort is to be going back to audit.

D:

Currently living off part times and previously saved money (glad that I am a super saver when it comes to cash. I just don't like spending hard earned cash, you know?)

Oh, funny story. There was one of the days where I was working in the events company where I had to head to DoubleTree Hilton from Shah Alam. I seldom drive around KL and this would be the first time I would be doing so because I had an event that I needed to attend there.

I left Shah Alam at 4.30pm and arrived at the hotel at 7.30pm.

I got sooooo lost man. So fucking lost that I ended up in Ampang. Best part of the story? My phone was running out of credit, car running low on fuel AND it was rush hour in KL.

Damn it was hell. I always hate the thought of driving in KL. I try to avoid it as much as possible. Taking the train or letting someone else drive the car. First time in KL? Worse experience when driving ever!

So tomorrow I have this part time job in Perak and I am suppose to be driving 2 other people there as well after picking them up from KL Sentral.

Been spending the last 3 hours asking people's advises and memorizing maps (I should get 3G but I am too poor to).

Praying for the best... :S 

2012

There goes another year. How fast time flies! Lets make a recap of 2012!

Beginning of this year, I got myself into a reality TV show. 

I have to say that it was one of the best decisions of my life. I enjoyed every week shooting and doing crazy tasks with awesome people. 

I miss it.

2012 is also the year where I officially graduated!

The hard work from 4 years of ACCA (ok, I was playing most of the time), came to an end as I received the scroll to the end of my student life to welcome working adulthood (which sucks by the way).

This year I also got my very first job and my own car! 

I'm gonna be paying off the debt for this for the next 6 years but it gave me a lot more freedom which means more fun! :D

Got myself a tattoo of a North Star with the quote "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul"

The quote symbolizing the control I have over my own life and the north star to guide me through all the stupid and crazy things I do throughout my life.
 

Welcomed Peanut the lost bunny whose thinks he's a dog.

Towards the end of the year, we've welcome baby Aiden to the world with his coos and cries.

All in all, it has been a good year.

So what's install for next year?

1. New job! Starting 7th January 2013. 

2. First ever rave party 18th January 2013.

Well, that's all for now. Things never go according to plan for me. So I rather not plan and just live life like it should -- mysteries and adventures.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! :)

Moving on...

SOOO...

I quit my job. :)

Yes, again. My parents are gonna have a headache when I break the news to them.

I guess I could say that I was always a lucky child. I was never forced to do what I didn't want to.

In secondary school, my parents did not have to worry about my studies. They never bothered pushing me to study everyday. Same thing in uni. My mom even asks me to stop studying and go shopping with her...

Now, I have the privilege to choose my career path.

What DO I want in life?

I ask myself that very same question everyday. Well, usually when I am not busy with work and have too much time in hand or when I have too much work that I get so sick of it. So I guess it is all the time.

Back to the main picture.

I quit my job! I've got an interview in an event management company (Yay!). Hoping that it works out.

I think I will never get a real job. I seem to hate the fact that there is a fix amount of time to do something indefinitely. I prefer completing everything given to me without splitting them into a few days of work which also means that work will never finish for me because things are being thrown at me every single day.

I think I'll just find project based jobs. Then find a guy, get married and stay home baking cookies while having obese kids.

Perfect.

One Last Tour

My first ever rave party and I have decided to choose to go for Swedish House Mafia's One Last Tour. See the irony there? Their last, my first. :)

I have been waiting for ever for JS Concert to launch the tickets. Last night, Jia Huey told me that she has a friend looking for people to help give our flyers for promotion. Payment?

One free Swedish House Mafia ticket.

I definitely took that offer. Catch? Giving out flyers for 12 hours. Fucking insane man! I have a new found respect for people who give out flyers.

My feet were soaked and were squishy from the rain. Disgusting. Now they feel like I did a thousand jumping jacks (not that I know how that feels but I can imagine?)

Here it is!

I was so bummed that they split a RAVE PARTY into 2 zones and even worse naming it chill out zone. They should have named one Party Zone and the other Rave Zone. Sounds better no?

After 11 hours handing out flyers, travelling from Sunway Pyramid to Mid Valley and finally Bintang Walk, we were done! In the end they paid in cash. Which was a good thing for me since I was thinking of selling the ticket and use the cash to get the better ticket. Now I just have to add on 80 bucks to get the Party Zone.

Soooo....

Swedish House Mafia. Here I come mutherfuggers! 

Saving is for dummies

If only I have all the money in the world. The first thing I would do is to dress like some aunty in a t-shirt and torn jeans, walk into those high end stores where the shop assistants give you a bitchy look, and buy something IN CASH.

In your face mutherfuggers!

Sadly I am so far away from achieving that goal. I am living on the edge with car instalments, insurances, food, petrol, etc.

Sucks being an adult with responsibility. It is so weird that when we were young we can't wait to grow up. Now that we are older, we wish that we could stay forever young. We humans are that greedy. We always want everything.

That is why I have made a promise to myself to enjoy life as it is today. I'm 22 years old! It has only been 2 years into my twenties and I am in no hurry to move on with life. I want to life everyday like it should. Do what I want to do. Party! Hang out! Laze around!

Yeah, yeah, people say you should save for the future. Work hard now and retire early and enjoy life. True. That is one way to view life.

How I see life is enjoy it while you can. People work so hard and save for the future. How certain are you that there will be a future to save for? Ok, if there is a future, you saved and then what? You would be to old to be doing the things that you would love to be doing in your twenties. You'll never get back your twenties.

That's how I see life. People judge and say, "That is a very short term thinking!" or "How can you think this way?" or "Save up then retire early and you still can do the things you want!"

Hey, I don't tell you how you live your life. So let me live mine the way that I want to live it. I want to enjoy every minute of every moment in life.

But then again, there is that dream where I want to buy expensive stuff IN CASH! Well,  I'll just save up for that then! :D

Work, work, work

Working life sucks. Work is good because you won't be rotting your life away at home doing absolutely nothing and also working leads to cash in your bank account.

But it sucks. That's life bitches.

But then again, what is life? The answer was always subjective. For some it is to have a great career, others a carefree life to travel the world. For me, I think its the latter.

In order to finance that carefree life to travel the world, one would need cash. A whole load of mother fucking moolah and that is why we have jobs.

Working is a way to move towards your goal in life. Those who say money can't buy happiness. To me, money CAN buy happiness because in order to be happy, you need the money to finance everything that you do to be happy.

Sometimes I wonder how the world would be like is money was never invented. How would the world be like? Would it be a raging warzone for everyone will be fighting over everything? Or would it be a sharing community where everyone just trade things or make their own?

Working in a finance company/website would mean that I'll be jobless without money. However, there won't be jobs needed! Everyone would be doing whatever they love and live would be so, SO different.

Yea, my jobs isn't that bad at the moment. Stress, yes, with the seemingly endless amount of work which keeps coming even though I'm not done with my initial ones.

One's goal in life is what drives you to do what you do. What is my goal in life? If I could, I'll strap on a backpack and travel the world.

Just need to cut those strings grounding me....
