West Journey

今天去送了我近亲最后一程。

生不带来,死不带去 -到最后尘归尘,土归土。

留下的,是许许多多复杂的人事。

其实真的不明白这群人。

在世的时候对他好不是更重要吗?

算了,反正我最不想参与这种事。

我是一个‘自我封闭’的人。 

知道的越多,烦恼就越多。

自己的事都够烦了,为什么要自找麻烦?

一路好走。

Return to Greenlands

Made my first return to Greenland in more than 2 years, and my first trip to "The Fields" in more than 7 years.

Such a weird feeling.

In the end I came to one conclusion - the same conclusion I made 7 years ago, and the same one I made this day.

I really don't like this place, neither am I suitable for this place.

Hahaha.

But do I have a choice?

Big Purchases 2013

A little updates on the major hoot of 2013...

2013 can be considered to be my first full working year. Looking at it, I think I did spent much more than the previous years (about twice as much). Many of the "major" purchases are on the higher price range too.

Still, I don't think I regretted any one of these purchases - Most of them are overdue upgrades, and will last me for a good long time.

2007 - 22' LCD Monitor, Sony Ericssion W950i, Digital Camera

2008 - NEC Versa S3500 Laptop [MEGA]
 
2009 - Cowon S9, Westone 1, Radeon HD4870

2010 - HTC Desire

For 2014, I don't for-see myself purchasing anymore gadgets. The only possibility is me upgrading my 5 years old Cowon S9 (if they do release a worthy successor).

How's Life?

Well, been a while since I wrote something.

So, here goes:

1) Graduated as a Sunrise Academy Student for more than 6 months already - That means less than 6 months before I am freed from the shackles that bind me in this field. Looking back, I can't say I regret my decision. It's not all perfect, and there were sacrifices, but I did learn a lot.

2) Joined the Solar Tech Industries after that, and man, it's been one hell of a ride. Where do I start?

3) I've met good and bad people - The bad made me want to leave, and the good made me want to stay.

4) Sadly, 2 of the good ones left, one after another, forced by circumstances (JO and JY). Well, they were in a much worst situation than me I guess.

5) For me, I'm guess I'm lucky in a way. The most important and relevant person to me, is a nice person. And she's one of the main reason I've persevere through the toughest time there.

6) I can't say the same for everyone else though. I totally gave up hope at one point of time, but I guess I've 看开 since.

7) At one point of time, I went to fought my 5th battle. That was the turning point, but alas! It was not meant to be. I still want to thank my boss (WL) for his 'invitation card'.

8) I feel that the reason I failed the battle was really due to my lack of experience. What I've learnt in the Sunrise Academy is not enough man. Not enough.

9) Anyway, the worst is over now. I've worked my ass off and slayed many demons. Now, it's time to collect the loot, and I can't wait!

10) Oh yeah, I also met another unexpected "guest" at the Solar Tech Industries. He encouraged me to passed the "Incredibly Painstaking Painful Test". I really could not have done it without him. Thanks ZX.

That's all for now.

Pride In Your Work

Do you take pride in the work you do?

I know I do. I want to feel like what I do matters. That it has a significance.

No matter how boring, how tiresome, how frustrating it is - I still do. I put in effort and even if it turns out sucky, it's still "mine". It's my responsibility, my pride or disgrace.

But not all people feel the same. They are contented with their own ways of doing things.

It's one thing to slack. But I don't understand how can you do it without limits. Can you really live with yourself?

Today, another part of me died towards this place.

Is a job solely for the monetary benefits?
