Earning money, spending money!

What do you think about your life? What do you life for? Why are we here? 

Have all these thoughts came to your mind before? If No, guess maybe you would like to give yourself sometime to consider. 

For me, I do. Somehow these question give me a headache. There is no right or wrong answer to it. Depend where are you, what is your condition of life, people around you and so on, are factors that will affect our decision, mindset and choices that we make. 

What is our basic needs? Some time I will forget about it. Shelter, Water, Food? I have a shelter, which is free. I got the food and water, which is also free! What more to complaint!? But on the other hand, who is paying it for you to have it free? Guess most of us who are living with our family will be taking advantage on it. Yes, contributing back to family but does the amount is sufficient to pay off what you had used? No way man. Overall, our needs will just be phone bills, electronic gadgets, movie tickets, entertainments, luxury foods, cab fare, etc. We spend money just like water flowing. Is that true? Got to ask ourselves. 

We work and work and work. What is it for? We get scholarship or sponsorship for what? Pay off fees so that we can have more money to spend on what we want or to spend what we need? I have no direct answer. It is all depend on how we need the money for. As mentions that there are factors that affect our decision. Therefore, it really have to depend how one self being affect. 

Example for working for family need will be farmer. But Singapore did not have much agricultural  industry. I do not think so much on it. But i guess family who are living in poverty, they are the one being affected. I think it always started with people who are disable to be their sole-breadwinner.  And kids are young and there is no much help from relatives. They have no other source of support. 

On the other hand, people who are rich, they spend time working and provide money for family and family spend the money for them.. So that is what a family breadwinner suppose to do I guess. 

So, do use your hard earned money wisely! Do consider your future! 

  

What happen? 01

"What happen?" There will be different part. This tells me why i wasn't blogging at this or that period. At least i can somehow answer for my life.

I pause awhile is due to unable access via phone and wonder how can i use this phone to blog. And for the pass few days, i am seriously pack with stuff in camp. I have no choice everyday back to rest i have no energy to carry on blogging.

I was preparing stuff for exercise. And now, after thinking through about it, I feel that I am total busy for nothing. What ever I had done is just worrying for the sick of doing. Maybe not busy, I am just feeling so tired.

Suddenly my energy level was being drain off. I am just so tired for me to open my eyes to feel the world and create a change. Guess it is time for me to take a break!

Living my life like there is no tomorrow.

Do i have any health problem? Well, my medical check up have not given me any response! Yes and No. But just pray that nothing happening to me more like a psychological problem.

I look healthy! But look can be deceiving. I always having some internal problem which cannot be seem. Currently i'm having gastric problem due to irregular meal, or sudden greedy of food intake. So do aware of how you eat.

Well, I do not know whether did i have any problem but i think i assume the worst case which on the other hand kind of boost my moral. I think about how should i make full use of my day and yes, it does make me tired. But i really enjoy this kind of day where i had make a different in my life. Live my life with no regret!

What do you think about your life? How you should live your life?

Don't kill a child's enthusiasm

Don't kill a child's enthusiasm

I totally agree with what the parents. Well, isn't it a fact of life?
On the point as a parents, seeing the kid so enthusiastic to work on the art work and was not recognized is really a waste of effort. And I think school should take a effort to display the art work of the students at least show some appreciative ways to encourage them to showcase their work in future. 
On the other hand, looking from the school perspective, there will be limited space to display all. Well, guess is also due to their lack of time and heavy workload.  They don't really want to put in more time to consider how younger kids will think and they will just do the art show just one time session. Overall, I should say it voice down to the commitment level of the teachers. If you are just having being a teacher for the sick of money, don't be please! Cause you might just cause harm to the others who are committed educate others and also to those innocent learners. 
Guess I am drifting out too far... 


In education, I believe it take both hands to clap. There must be a devoted teacher and also a interested learner. When ever teacher teach, the learner will be attentive for absorb and gaining the insight. But if one were to give up, the others will just be giving or taking without knowing whether he or she understand. I just feel that we should not demoralize others in anyway but should encourage to do the right thing not the convenience way.  

Waking up every morning...

Morning Readers! 
Do you feel tired whenever you are waking up? Do you just dislike someone wake up? Morning blue? I guess everyone feel this way. But do you ever have any incident when you suddenly jump out from your bed due to late? dream? too much things to do that why you jump to clear your work? 
Which way is better? Feeling sleepy and trying to kick start your engine for the day or you have a thoughts in your mind and you just start your day with task? 


Well, Sleep... Is to rest your mind and body. Whether or not, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I dislike being so draggy to start my day. I need power to boost me! Like everyday with positive surprise! E.g. My mum cook great breakfast for us! This will motivate me to wake up for it! But there wouldn't be a prefect moment every time. My Mum will also feel tired which might lead you to negative impact. On the other hand, you might give your mum a negative impact too! 


I read an article about passing a smile and I put it in my way of elaboration. When I wake up, I smile to my mum, my mum feel great and she cook good food for my dad. My dad have a great meal and he fetch the school kids to school. He tell jokes to the kids and the kids feel happy and have fun in school. The teachers who teach the kids feel motivated and teach the kids more, teachers goes back from school and share with family and friends, they got inspired and the others just spread the love of passing the smiles.


Well, Life isn't always that prefect. But believing just a smile, it can make a different to one person and ever to the majority of others. I hope after reading this post, we will feel more motivated to get ourselves out from the bed and start spreading the smile to people we love and we want them to feel great too! 


Start smiling!   

Utilizing Time? How?

This thought came to my mind was just happen that everything need to be done by 6am when we can only load the store up to tonner by 6am. I was told to be there early at 5.30am. Dad was so great where he sent me down even though I was late by few minutes. By the time I reach, my friends just reach and we went for breakfast at the canteen. Then, I realized that the actual timing is at 6am. Then on, it trigger my mind to think about making full use of my time. 

Yes! additional 30 minutes I can take my breakfast. Additional timing I can sleep more! Additional Timing I can have more conversion with my grandma! Well, on that day I guess I ignore the milk that my grandma prepare for me. I also just rush without having breakfast. Through these 30 minutes more, I can actually do something that I have more joy. 

Everyday there are 24 hours. How do we really spend it? Meaningfully? Just wash off from the shore? Let's break it down. We spend 8 hours or more to sleep. With the remaining 16 or less hours, we use it to work, eat, talk, play, entertainment, passion, time for family, etc. So many things that we want to do and fulfill. Don't have time! We work for the time or the time work for us? Does the world revolve just for us or for everyone? 

Let's touch our heart! Do we actually just sleep 8 hours or less? How many hours did we spend on our own comfort? How much time did we give ourself to day dreaming and not doing anything? How many hours did we give ourself the permission for wishing time to fly fast so that we can move on for our next plan? Well, guess it somehow answer by our conscious. 

Maybe because I am a workaholic. I believe I reap what I sow. I am not trying to aim for anything but just want to make full use of my time while I am alive. I don't really sleep that much but still need sufficient rest. I also wasted a lot of my time. Like not studying hard and was lay back from my 88 years batch by 2 years. While others already started schooling in University while I am not. I am still in National Service. Well, I guess I have make full use of my time to explore my life to new things and taking any opportunities which came to me. 

By utilizing time I guess it all start from one self! 

Being aware of time is important, knowing what your focus in each and everyday of your life. Look towards and plans for next step. Have a aim on where you are heading. Come out with Schedule which keep you occupy. But do give some time for your own freedom and relaxation. 

That was all I can share. How about you? How do you make full use of your time? 

An irritation with Ivan

Well, It was just a short blast of anger with one of my army bunk mate, Ivan. I am not trying to point finger at him that everything is his fault but just want to share what I felt about the walks of my life. Before I start writing, I am not afraid about whether he will read my blog or not, whether will he be angry with me. It really what I felt about things happen between me and him. 


Well, it started not long ago when we had a few incidents where he get angry with me for some reason. I was make an effort to approach him and to find out what he felt about the various incidents which make him angry. After few weeks for not being in camp due to courses that I have to attend. We both seldom talk to each other and I felt that there are gaps between us. 


And sequence, when my friend, Justin was singing song with me in the bunk he will just interrupt the song and link to me with any kind of remarks. I will just let him bring it up. Well, there isn't any thing wrong with that. But one - two time is fine, it doesn't affect me. What make me feel irritated was that he have being doing it more and more often which kind of demoralize the way I am. Kind of interrupt my way of life. Well, just imaging that people block in your way how will you feel... 


Recently, I am not feeling well due to gastric or muscle problem. So when I am explaining to others who interested to know what happen to me, he basically interrupted halfway to the conversion and give ridicule or unpleasant remarks. Does it make one self happy? How will others think about the action? How will I feel when you said that? No sense of pity for me who sick? Sorry to be so mean. I just find that Ivan you are childish. 


I believe that I had told you before when you interact you have to be tactful. Yes! You are soft but you do think without thinking much and when things does not goes in your way, you just fare up and do your usual self which is to bang anything which come to you directly. But does that solve the problem? I doubt so. 


I do not want to tell you straight as I do not know whether you had notice how I react and I do not know whether is it my problem or your problem. So at least I had express it out in my space. I will say I am sorry if it is my problem. But if it is your problem, hope you can change it and hope there wouldn't have others feel that way but did not say anything out. 

Will You Emigrate to other country?

Just so coincidence, I went back to my bunk to rest and a strait time newspaper was left on the table. The topic that was show was about Singaporean emigrating. As the survey shown one-fifths of people range 19 to 30 would like to emigrate. 


When I start reading, there was always a doubt in my mind. Which is what is "Emigrate"? Then more questions came out to analysis this initial question. Questions such as migration and immigration, what are those words? Look so similar. So I hurry use my phone to look out for the meaning. 


This is what I found out! Emigration refer to people who go to another country to live and be their citizen. Immigration refer to people to travel to another country and will be called as immigrant. Lastly Migration usually refer to action of birds where it travel to another place for living habitat. 


Well, it quite a instead finding. Hope I get it right! 
Link to the topic. My friend Brendon actually asked me whether will I emigrate. My answer to this is Yes, but not when I am young. More likely when I am having my retirement. 


I have confident with Singapore economic. The stability, the culture, the friends, the history and my family are the most memorable things that I treasure. Living this place now will just be something that I cannot bear to do it. Recently in December, I just went for a Hong Kong Youth Exchange programme under People Association Youth Movement (PAYM). I somehow realize that Singapore Youths are empower! The government have being providing opportunities for us to take up and make a different to the society but... only a small percentage of us benefiting it. (Well, this is just my assumption)


Whether we get the benefit or not, living in Singapore is already a privilege. Government have being taking good care of us; We reap what we sow. If we were to work for our life, we will be given what we want! So are you working hard enough to deserve what you want? 

情非得已

Just so random, I feel this song is easy to sing. I trying to find it from YouTube but the original Music Video was no where to be found. Well, I would like to share with you this song. If you know about this song, do sit back and enjoy this song!

OneRepublic - Say (All I Need)

It will be just the beginning!

I was looking at my previous reflection that I had in my phone and laptop, I decide to set up this living room. This name was given by my coach, Wei De long ago. And I decided to use it is because Living room is a place where I entertain my guest, do my reflection, spend my time doing my stuff especially talking about life, sharing about experiences. Therefore, I would like to open this blog to everyone, anyone to be part of my life and walk together with me!

This might seem silly. I do not like to hide anything. I would like to share what ever good or bad, real or fake, agree or disagree, happy or sad. Keeping something within self will basically fill up the water that i have to overflow but still some water will still remain inside.

I believe I had gain numorous numerous experiences in my life. Hence, I would like to pen down my thoughts and feeling in my living room. And hope my audience can feel free to share their thoughts and feeling too in this place - Living Room!

How often will I commit? I am not sure! I will take this place as a place where I need to bang the wall, I will be here to bang on it! Whether will I feel pain, that is how hard I bang, how deep my thoughts was shared. But still, I will try to make things happen!

Currently, I was exposed to various information around me! Such as newspapers, YouTube, Blogs, Facebook, Magazine, words of mouth etc. In the past I don't even bother look at it. Living my life just what come to me! That is not the best way. My general knowledge will just only be what I had experienced. Hence, I feel that I should find out more things more than what is happening to me. In fact, I need to know what is happening around me and best to the world.

So, with this Blog, I can try to draw out topics that I might not sure but I put it in my own perspective and share with others. Then people out there can help to educate me to give me a clear understanding.
Alright! This is the start of the living room! More to come!

Welcome to my Living Room!

Regards,
Lim Zhi Wang
