hour of disappointment

hour of disappointment

well. it's an hour. it was an hour though. an hour supposedly to b filled with hope and an effort of conservation. if you're guessing, yes, it's Earth Hour. or rather it WAS earth hour.

it was a rather disappointing spectacle i saw yesterday nite on my end, at my residence. totally pathetic bunch of ingrates, i must say. i dno abt the rest of tis nation. but it was definitely a great effort put in by the city's CBD. shutting off most lights for an hour in town area is definitely a thumbs-up, considering how much electricity the city area use. though the sad thing was, i wasnt there to lure in the darkness. haha. 

i must compliment the effort the businesses put in ytd to bring out their bunch of environmentally creative ideas. and well, i did my part too, switching off lights in the house and no a/c for an hour or more in my room. (man. and i was perspiring like crazy ytd nite, adding the fact that i was alrdy ill. AGAIN...)

wad disappoints me more, or rather a whole lot more, was so many pple around my residence was still happily having their lights on and playing around. Having their living rooms brightly lit by electricity, rooms, toilets, etc. throughout that hour, i really had the urge to throw foolscaps with msges telling those pathetic lowlifes, to switch off their lights into their houses and backyard. but of cos i didn do it, apparently not wanting to be a target for complaints.

maybe they werent aware. if that was a reason, thn i accept. but if everyone's gna use that as an excuse, man, i'll give them a tight slap right in their faces. looking at those pple outside my house merrily enjoying their time away in the swimming pool, it was infuriating.

but of cos, i'm not entirely saying that there werent units that had their lights off. there was. but only a puny handful. *sighs*...looks like our planet is on its way to doom with so many of such pple. it's like no one were in the spirit for it. 

something must be done next year! something better!!!

wealthy dilemma

wealthy dilemma

hav been thinking pretty much the whole day about it. and it really is a hard choice to make. cos i've been switching sides here and there, unable to decide which weighs better than the other. in terms of everything. especially time. the risk factor is just filled with too many blanks. one cant know waz gna happened in the nxt few years and beyond with everything going berserk around the world. the economy. the next day of my life (ok. maybe next day is too short to have much of a difference. so probably: the following years of my life...)

there are so many reasons and factors to consider. and the more factors the more difficult tis decision gets. as i worked out my budget and typed out a purchase plan, i tot that would be it and everything would be easily thrown aside. but taking a look at my budget for times and days, it gets me thinking even more and MORE! all the wad ifs juz flows out like a river gushing to flow into the sea.

time. wealth. experience & knowledge. skills. are juz some of the many factors. just that they are those major ones. would i trade wealth over experience and knowledge gained over the years, or the other way round? maybe i shld take a long term approach of budgetting and see wad i wan to spend on in the next 5 years. but thn again wealth is nvr ending. but it is sort of impt to aid my goals in my 20s.

and if i trade my experiences in, i might lose out in time and learn some things too late which would also affect my other learning experiences. but thinking of the benefits i can reap in smaller gains over giving learning experiences up, it does seem a pretty good deal. in fact, a very ideal one actually, i think. but thn again. hmmmmmm.

looks like it goes one round to come bac to the same point. qualitative factors are rather difficult to gauge in helping to make a decision. so looks like i'll hav to stick back to quantitative analysis with figures again. many many many more figures. 

wad will it be, at the end of tis decision. i wonder...

long overdue - part II

long overdue -
part II

okaes. as promised. PART II. 

been thinking for quite a while and it doesnt seem i could get any resolutions out. instead, it felt more like goals instead of resolutions that i wan to make. so let's juz call it goals instead.

hmmm and the list is (in no order of priority):
(1) AR - 580
(2) AR - trigger daring
(3) SB - 580 (hopefully, if i can i support my finances)
(4) train more!
(5) a car b4 my year 3 starts (hmmm...)
(6) work enough to sustain my planned budget for this year
(7) learn fruitfully and succeed in TIP (the full term spells too long)
(8) understand automotives better
(9) sharpen up my web development skills, specifically javascript and others possibly
(10) catch all the movies i wan tis year (doesnt include dwnlds. but it varies w expenses i guess)
(11) moulding np shooting team into something....

think taz more or less it. dn think i can squezze more in. cos if i do, i prolly run out of time and life.

well now, wad else can i add into tis overdue posts...hmmm. year 2009.

ok. tis year sucks. totally. seriously. january was packed. drowning in projects. and got sick soon after CNY. CNY was totally shit too. hardly ate any great stuff. thn came feb and exams. buried in slides (not books!) shooting isnt getting anywhere. it's stagnant. mayb consistent? but i doubt so. or mayb i'm juz too impatient to get somewhere. hmmmm. a rather unlucky start for 2009.

man seriously it sucks. i mean now i'm having sore throat again. prolly ate too much cashew nuts and got too heaty. stupid ulcer in my throat. it hurts and it's irritating! grrr. and i'm falling ill in like a mth after i recover. *faints*

but seriously the trigger freeze problem juz likes to stick ard. kinda hard to kick it. bad habits die hard. tsk. darn. i need to kick it. i need to KICK IT!!!!

somehow i'm finding it hard to blog tis days. my mind's becoming like an empty shell. hmmm. i really wonder why. but anyway, think i'm gna kickstart my career in web development. so if anyone has lobang for that, or ur frens need one, find me pls! wahhahahaha.

*thinking of cars* hmmm expenses is seriously gna be a big burden and headache for me tis year, if i ever get one. *shakes head and sighs* tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. hmmmm. convenience over wealthier bank. or wealthier bank over convenience. hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm. cant find a way out of tis dilemma.

*tries to pour brain juice out* well, looks like my jug of juice is empty alrdy...
