I can not.

They always say that one must be selfish in order to become successful. I can't bring myself to do that.

Growth

How long has it been since I last updated this blog? I honestly can't remember. Back then, Blogging was the most popular thing that teenagers do to express themselves. Remembering the late nights when I could not sleep, I had so much to say, yet no one was there to listen. Hence the long blog posts of the classical "late night thoughts". For myself, this was once the way I reflected upon the events of my life, the way I longed to be heard. As time goes by, we have all grown old. But have we grown up? Is today's version of us better than who we were before? If not, why not? We all crave for progress. Yet sometimes, we remain too comfortable to move forward. From the last post, it has already been more than 4 years. The change in my life is incredible. 4 years ago, I was still a young student who only had one priority; studying. Today, I have completed my university, started a family, and working hard in building my career. It is not by any chance that I am w...

Happiness is a choice.

Alvaro's 18th Birthday outside Zouk. Accompanied by Travis, Justin, Donghui and Edwin.   There would come a point of time in life when we would feel like lost sheep and have no aims.

A rant on work.

It has always been a usual practice for students to be working during the school holidays to earn some extra bucks. During working, we experienced that money is hard to earn. The pay we received the entire day is about an hour's pay of an average adults which feels really pathetic. Anyway, I just received a call from work telling me that my shift has been changed to 8am this Friday's morning which means it will be another day of working 17 hours at least again. Well, more hours mean more pay right? The only form of motivation of working; Money. Indeed, working for just the money sounds really stupid. The money I have earned from working this holiday will be spent on my car license after my 18th birthday which is coming less than 20 days. I am really looking forward to it. Lessons will resume next week and I'm making use of this week to earn as much money as I can. Initially I planned to go at full-throttle on my studies, however the manager at work just told me that...
