Burden

The burden is getting stronger and stronger. Day in day out, I’m thinking of how to increase sales and fast, how to make the business more profitable, what strategies can I come up with such little resources. I’m trying to think out of the box, trying to create a miracle, trying to prove that the impossible is possible, trying to beat them at their game with their rules.

Even when I’m out of office, it still feels the same, the physical location of my person no longer make any difference when my mind is fixed onto what I have to do in the office. I started out telling myself “although this is a family business, but don’t get yourself too personally involve as that is not professional”, “don’t let your feelings affect your decision making”.

Its difficult, I want to do more, I want to put in more hours, I want to see results then rest, I don’t want to look at the rewards, I want to take the risk. But practically, I can’t, at least at this point in time. We all have got to set our priorities right and juggle the very little time we have.

Tick Tok Tick Tok

In the office, I keep looking at my watch. “When?” I ask myself, “When?”, “Soon” I answer myself “Soon”. The phone will ring and off i will go.

Sophie Graber

Congratulations to Mark and De on the arrival of their baby girl Sophie Graber. How i wish i can be back in Perth for a few days to spend this happy moment with them.

I clearly remember we were just discussing about being parents together and suprisingly when i told him my wife Pearl was 6 weeks pregnant, he counter-suprised me that his wife was 9 weeks pregnant. We were really having a good laugh at his place several months ago. Now Sophie is out Clié will be out soon too. We are looking at about 10 – 15 December… hmm… lets see when she wants to come out.

Shifted

Pearl and I are now officially living at Davis’s and Sharon’s place in the west as they kindy opened their house for us to stay for the next few months as Pearl will be delivering soon and will be doing her confinement there. I would think its like north-west cum central kinda place, cuz its Bukit Panjang. It feels strange to be out of Katong where my roots are, cuz all my life near have always meant Katong or East Coast. Orchard and City Hall takes a bit of effort to get to and Bukit Panjang have always felt like Malaysia or somewhere really far.

Hmm… now i’m in the west, i’m near people like nix, sylvy, Rey, Dezzo and not to mention the closest cm. I really look forward in hanging out with them more.

Well… going to work now is kind of a travel *sigh*… nvm… you win some you lose some. I’m happy to be in the west for now…
