...jom koffee...

...my fren successtan says that his life is getting more and more stressful these days. indeed, life is suffering. but most of the time, we tend to fall into the trap of being the suffering ones and do not want to come out of the ditch full of suffering. constantly we dwell in the world of suffering and starts complaining "why me" instead of "why not me". as much as i want to say "why me", i am much happier to say, "why not". alextan taught me the most simplest of lesson that is not to look at things as problems, but look at it as opportunities. and recently my chat with him lasted until 6am. gosh, somehow we were so hype up to chat; together with kns - the 3 of us managed the nite with pringles and apple cider zapple. gosh.

i had another wonderful chat with another dear fren, fredwong. with a slurpee and some sweet potatoes, we went through the changes of life and how we have managed to lived it all. and that we all do face problems at work all the time. its how we learn to manage it and deal with the gifts that life has to offer us. so, why is it that we all face so many problems at work? problems with managers, problems with subordinate, problems with colleagues, problems with bosses, problems with everyone. hmm, if alextan were to put it, opportunities to learn from everyone of them.

i have alot of problems at work now. pnc, ilmi, tms, inti-genting; juggling them one at a time; learning from the mistakes of others, but if another good fren of mine put it, mattkhaw would say do we learn from mistakes or learn from the best things that others has done? hmm, makes me wonder. i always wanted a mentor to guide me; looking high and low for a person whom i can call mentor; but somehow i went thru my worklife with so many pm, sadly none i wud shout loud. i wudnt want to end up to be like them.

another conversation with another dear friend, paklah's brother put it,
"being the conductor at the orchestra. a CONDUCTOR DOESN'T need to know how to play all kinds of instrument to get a good lovely music and it wouldn't hurt if the CONDUCTOR does know how to play cause i believe tat would even produce a better quality of music (i'm sure we can feel the difference between good music and good music with feelings expressed by the TEAM) plus higly motivated team that respect HIM and gives him FULL support to achieve that result. agree?"

i love chatting with people and learn from each of them the values and the meaning of life. well, if anyone has some time to spare, lets do coffee and talk more about how we can go thru life, after all i wudn't want to be like what the professor has proposed to the fisherman. or spend my time thinking of the 4D to buy: satu dua, tiga empat (one two, three four). so, what's ur number to buy?...
