One final post
The time has come to push the 'off' button on this blog and about time to resign from blogging. It seems Facebook is just too darn popular than blogging these days. Hehe.
4 years have passed, how time flies so quickly, too quickly actually, and it's time for me to venture unto something else. End of 2007 is about to come to an end, 2008 is still up for grabs. Thanks everyone for the 4 years of support.
Please drop me a message if you chance upon me in Facebook.
Would love to keep in touch with you. Oh yeah don't forget, 15th December 2007. Be there!
Have a great new year and many years ahead!

Get together again - Class of 1990
If you're reading this, we're tentatively going to meet again this 15th of December 2007 in a small cafe in Aman Damansara, Petaling Jaya called the Departure Lounge. It's from 3 pm to 6 pm, so if you're one of the 1990's kids back in Standard 6, do come!
Also we're in Facebook. Register yourself, search for "Kampung Tunku" and "Class of 1990". The search results will be self explanatory.
See you then!

Why Career Planning Is Time Wasted
Our culture worships planning. Everything must be planned in advance. Our days, week, years, our entire lives. We have diaries, schedules, checklists, targets, goals, aims, strategies, visions even. Career planning is the most insidious of these cults precisely because it encourages a feeling of control over your reactions to future events. As that interview question goes: where do you see yourself in five years time? This invites the beginning of what starts as a little game and finishes as a belief built on sand. You guess what employers want to hear, and then you give it to them. Sometimes this batting back and forth of imagined futures becomes a necessary little game you play in order to 'get ahead'.

Trying times ahead?
I somehow don't feel that being older means life would be better. Don't get me wrong, yes life is more liberating but then again for some or even many of us, liberating with debts with the 'strings attached' terms for a very, very long time doesn't seem liberating at all. Don't call me a whiner, but hear me out a little.
I got to know around that peers around my similar age (or even younger) and skills capacity actually makes at least a minimum 40% more (or even more) than me. And yet they're still not contented saying that their other peers are getting more. And to top it up, they are in jobs which I often question, is there value or any contribution for that kind of salary? Yes, you can 'market' yourself to make it to the top but most of the time with the given situation as we see in our beloved country, they actually can stay at the top. Somehow the phrase 'you can bluff yourself to the top but you won't stay there' somehow just doesn't apply in most circumstances here. But of cause, you are sure to say, "Wait a minute, No way, it's bound to get to you somehow, you just can't stay at the top if you don't have the weight to carry through".
But you know what, it doesn't matter. Yes stay at the top, you have your chance, you did the right thing, you grabbed it before anyone else did. But bear in mind, with the rapid global changes and business changes, your top could be a downfall as fast as you can say, "What happened?" as most jobs don't last forever these days. Head counts are still being accounted for where redundancy will tend to exist. Technologies are replacing jobs, businesses are downsizing, payrolls are being paid late, if you're not keeping up with the changes in environment, and more important, not willing to do that change, by all means, all the best and hope you're prepared for whatever comes to you.
The rat race? What race? You're cannibalizing each other. Who's winning the rat race anyway?

Were you from my Kampung back in 1990?
This blog is about the life of now one grown yuppie wannabe from Kampung Tunku primary school in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia who has completed his primary education in that school in the year 1990. It's about getting his fellow classmates from the year 1990 to reminiscing those times of playing tags, swinging on monkey bars, canteen days, bola baling, those little puppy love crushes you had, and the classmates whom we shared barrels of gleeful laughters with. It's also to view the perspective of growing up in this ever changing world.
