how do you detach yourself with Losers?
well, before we do that, we need to identify the top 5 trait.
1. they comment on things that you did, or didn`t do. but never ask why they are not invited?
2. they get pretty vocal, when you have something new, like a new job, new toy or attending events. eventhough, you tried to hid it from these people.
3. they are always in the look out for free things, when they know that you will be able to provide them, they take advantage from it.
4. they get pretty jealous when you did not include them in events and started to voice about it when they happen to know it.
5. they are always in a sarcastic remarks, when someone they knew change job or take up a high education, when they are not even close.

Greatest Man
well, so it happen. no one live forever!
if you can create an technology that you could live forever, will you still do it?
in the past, when a great man dies, they honoured him for hundreds of years and forgives his misdeed that he needed to do to create what the world is today.
now, when a great man dies, they honoured him for a few days and the political propaganda starts.
how rotten the world is today!

Expression
The means of expression, can be in term of arts, fashion, body languages, matter of speech, individual action towards a matter, some even the company you are with. Some does it in open, some does it in discreet and some does it behind a closet.
These expression usually demonstrate a set of self acknowledgement, is these endorsement acceptable socially? some were not. but who decide these acceptance anyway? The society? The family? or The individual? what drive the society to accept a certain trend and/or an individual set the expression, stand by it, will the society has no other choice but to approve?
The evolution of the society during different time, show a significant change in our way of life and also our mind set. A person has the chance to go thu a series of society generation, whether he can change to suit the society or he will be left out. can religion govern these new expression and set a mandatory guide line? or have we being misreading them for the longest time, just like the other fail expression that our religion and society cannot tolerate now.
There is no fix rule or regulation, as cited in my previous post. all are set without any meaning, if you are not in the nature to obey it. Evolution might come by force, or by time. leaders change and new set of rule are in. but who said these rule is right anyway? those whom have the interest and power to set them, of course!
To set a commercial expression to gain awareness, a research is needed to in-line with the mindset the targeted group we want to send to. it might mean something to them and nothing to some others, but at least we get their perception toward our ideas.
Ethical? that is a different subject matter in the future.
Time will tell

difference in space, difference in time
have you wonder why there is so much differences in us? why does a person whom look so similar, living in the same planet, breathing the same air and watching the same stars at night. had so much difference between us?
over the past weeks, i had the honour of travelling to a place, less travelled. it was below 0 negative 15 degree in a bright sunny afternoon and a extreme negative 35 degree just 5 hours later. The Traffic was crazy, the snow and icy road required the direction to be change everyday. even the locals find the traffic unbearable.
Space. yes, it was spacious. living in a small country like us, we could not imagine the ample space they had, every shopping mall was the size of orchard ion. Resources was not scares and there is ample for everyone. some of the locals told me that even though, salary is low here, money was only meant to be a transition, no one actually own them there. oil, land, minerals, mines, natural resources was no lacking there. Communism Theory?
As the environment was harsh but full of rich minerals and spaces, human characters building and culture become a unique way of living. in this space, we call them brotherhood. there is no need for details, everything comes with the right contacts. education, knowledge and skills become a waste of time; the only skills they probably need is to drink 1.5L of Chinese wine and still sober enough to sing praise to the authority. This social trend happened 2000 years ago, and now it is still happening now. will it goes on another 10,000 years! long live the emperors. their spirit never die.
Live to Survive? or Survive to Live?
I am honoured to be received as a guest here and special attention was given to me from the tour guide from clothes, food, living and even the tours. as i am beginning to observes the social trend and the differences back home, I was wondering that could our 65 year old culture in our part of the world is an expectational cases?? back home, we care too much about little things! little details that was put upfront of us, did we complaint too much of our lives and did we care too much about the thing we don`t have? we do not have the luxury to survive to live, our natural environment put us in a comfortable position and our systemically approach to our manhood does put some guarantee in our future, but not all will agree. I am wondering those stories that we told to our foreign brotherhood here, could actually be bought back to their home as a side dinner jokes.
when I leave this harsh country to a cosmopolitan city, I leave with a light heart and glad to take this some thought and some theories on modern human behaviors.

Work Life Balance
what do you think about this?
I was asked this question at the time 10pm, when most of us were hiding in our dorm bed. suddenly a call came and I was asked to make my way to the meeting room 100m away from my dorm. "The Boss wanted to see you" ok, I thought, If i have gotta into trouble, this must be the show down.
I dragged myself off the bed, put on 3 layers of clothes again and walked out of the dorm. it was just a nice 5 degree at this time. Making my way toward the lift and press down to the lobby, I was trying hard to think what had happen during the course of my work, where i had to be dragged down at this hour.
lift open, not expecting anyone there, I make my way almost 100m toward the next building. as I was mumbling my way and still couldn`t make the sense of this meeting, I saw a familiar back. "wolfgang". He turned back with much astonishment, I think he is as happy to see me, as i am to him. are you being called in too? I asked, yes and he reply he thought he was the only one since he was told that the boss wanted to see you, not us. Not long, we could make out another counterpart in the shadow and another one appeared from behind. 4 of us make our way toward the meeting room in the same clothes where we came back from dinner 2 hours ago.
it wasn`t long before everyone gathered in the room with bloodshot eye, mess hair but a relieve face. this was then, we realise that the boss just had took too much coffee and suddenly wanted some accompany in this cold chilling night.
fortunately, more coffee, tea and some snack was order from our "kind" mamasan, she tried to make everyone comfortable, this is apparently not the first time that the china and Hong Kong team had to endure when the big boss is here. Stories from the past and experience from different countries managers was share in this meeting. business alignment and force commitment was make, I am just glad I don`t have to shave my fore head and cut my finger for this brotherhood night.
It ended in just a nice 1am Saturday
Talk about work life balance. damn

Last Blog of 2010
After 364 days from 2010, this is the end of the year again. 2010 year had its down and ups, prematurely, I was retrenched but quickly found myself a job faster then a speeding bullet. I had many lesson learned during this period, from work committment, staff relationships and friendship.
I finally understand the 4th side of a coin and think strategically. LL: always give the "benefit of doubt" we always ignore the "unknow of the unknown"
I managed to stay put in a job for almost 6 month and surprising I am only one who received a confirmation, out of 8 of us. 4 had quitted or retrenched and the other 4 had not confirmed yet. I had begin to enjoy my new job experience and also the accompany. I guessed I would give it another 1 year before I decides again.
I had a enjoyable year of non-triathlon year, run one marathon only! yes, although, I had being training with the pack, but the feeling of no competition, only joy run is so relaxing, some call it slacking :P
Of cos, how could one feel lucky, without going thru some down moments. how could you enjoy your weekend, if you had not struggle thru the weekdays of work. I begun to understand the harmony of balance. yes i really do! Life is like a big balancing scale, when we enjoyed the moment because we had something bad enough to compare!
anyway, 2011 would be another challenging year, I am sure it will be a roller coaster ride again! let`s wish that there will be stable jobs for all, sport injury free year and also an Academical fulfilling year for me.
Happy New Years 2011!!!
