A lesson learnt 10 years ago – 做人要懂得進退.
Learn when to hold on, when to let go.
When to move forward, and when to take a step back.
要懂得识时务者为俊杰,看清形势,功成身退。
Yes, every thing in life has its time and place.

Learn when to hold on, when to let go.

要懂得识时务者为俊杰,看清形势,功成身退。
Yes, every thing in life has its time and place.
The world is such a beautiful place.
When we miss the world after taking a break during this pandemic.
Listen to this wonderful song, sip some coffee and hope we can see the world soon.
Have always loved this song – In The End by Linkin Park.
Stumbled upon it recently and are addicted to this version.
That kind of voice, I wish I could have.
That kind of fantasy, I wish I could create.
That kind of coldness, I wish I could hold on to.
Wah Di speaks my mind, especially when it comes to the change of standards in evaluating expectations.
“Today, being on time is considered a virtue. Isn’t being on time a responsibility and a must? I think this expectation needs to be re-evaluated! Perhaps the requirements today are different from before. Things such as being on time and doing your homework and remembering your lines are considered to be of high merit.” – Andy Lau.
Isn’t it true?
It always amaze me why there is such a big change in evaluation standards.
Now, fulfilling the basic requirements are considered a merit and virtue.
Having the same thoughts, I think I am in the wrong as the world has changed but I am still stuck in the past.
The number has arrived.
And officially four zero.
Seems like there are many things that I wanted to do, but wonder if I have the determination and perseverance to do it.
Guess, I have spent half my life wondering and time to put things in action.
Time to keep motivated and do what I need to do.
At least I have take the hardest step last 2 weeks ago, to speak up for myself.
It is really difficult, to leave.
To leave behind what matters, what I am comfortable with and venture into an uncharted territory.
Happy four zero!
Life starts now.
識講 唔識做 即係代溝
#不進則退
It’s a phrase I told myself repeatedly recently.
Really start to feel the generation gap.
Soon, I will be part of the generation.
So let’s keep moving forward.
It has been a while since I last encountered a sexist remark, what is worst is it was from a friend.
And seriously, this has been a challenge in WhatsApp. They keep rolling out new feature to have infinite muting.
But really, what we all wish for is just to mute or block some particular person in the group.
Now back to the story, this very early in the morning. While the phone notification kept ringing with incoming messages, there is this one particular message that literally woke me up “girls nowadays very senang, their salary is flat masuk bank acc nothing much to pay one.”
It all started from an innocent conversation when another friend are looking to hire new execs, and out of no where he dropped da bomb. Seriously? This kinda remarks at this kinda era?
To makes matter worst, he then decided to skew and narrow down to single ladies.
I’m like, really? You’ve got to be kidding me.
I am pretty sure anyone and everyone regardless of gender have their own expenses to pay for, what more if you are single. Who is going to pay for it if it’s not yourself? Am sure one will need to pay for necessities such as rent or pay for transportation or bills or food at the very least, and this doesn’t even include self indulge and pampering things like shopping for clothes, bags and etc.
I am not too sure how many single woman he have met to come to this conclusion, but I did suggest for him to go broaden and meet more single ladies before speaking on behalf.
He even went on to add that he know some single girls who earn quite a lot (5 figures) that don’t have to pay for house, don’t need to pay for car, no debts, but when asked to do investment they refused.
I suppose that is how his straight forward mind came to conclusion and equate that to them having all their salary “flat masuk bank”. And maybe, just maybe.. when someone refused to do an investment with you, it doesn’t mean they don’t invest.
It’s strange, when someone tells you they are sorry.
You heard it loud and clear, but can never feel it.
Sometimes it is probably just used as an opening statement, just to start the conversation.
Sometimes it is a lead in to a longer conversation.
But really, don’t tell me you’re sorry cause I have so much more important things to do than hear you speak.
