on exams

people networking

I am in a phase where i want to know more people, people in the internet industry, hosting people, multimedia people, database people, PR people, designers, etc… Like when I want to know something say issues about web hosting, i got no friend who is a web hoster!! and when i got a friend who is a product designer and wants to get a job, i got no one to introduce him to!

Its so important that we expand our network of friends from all walks of life, in that way life would be so much more interesting and we won’t be stuck in our own little narrow well.

roots

In the earlier parts of my youth I was shouting out to be different, to be unique, to disassociate myself from tradition and to create and live in a somewhat new and different lifestyle. I never knew where I was heading, but I knew where I was avoiding.

Still being on an unending journey of self-identity, I question myself on the things I do and the life that I am living. Is it all worth it? Am I doing anything now that I will come to regret when I face my grandchildren? Will I face myself in an eternal turmoil of self reprimand and become a grumpy old man?

“The life which is unexamined is not worth living.” ~ Plato taken from quotationspage.com

Self identity comes from respecting who you are, but who are you anyway? What is it in your blood that you can’t change and denounce? What do you represent? Who do you represent?

Currently I am holding quite a fair number of roles which I believe many are, spouse to my wife, son to my parents, grandson to my grandparents, brother to my siblings, cousin to my cousins, etc… student of my uni, part-time web designer to M Graber Consulting, webmaster to several websites, moderator to several forums, church goer of CNL and an ambassador for christ, etc…

I am also a descendent of the Pan genealogy and a proud citizen of my nation Singapore. I know who I am, I know where i come from and I know what I have to do. Do you?

I had 14 hours of sleep last night and i am really feeling refreshed. Gotta do up some web-design work for the next couple of days and get ready for exams that will happen next Wednesday.

Its so exciting knowing that i will be going back to Singapore at the end of the month. I am so going to switch to holiday mode soon.
