In fact, I think that this would be the "survival race" for everyone if you want to secure your next generation especially in Malaysia due to the cost of living keep rising. For instance, it is hard to create your own family when you just earn about RM3,000 every month if you wish to have your own house, car and better education for your future children. Perhaps this is the main reason why a lot of guys nowadays prefer to be single until they build up their own successful career based on my own assumption. Hence, those guy who success in career will eventually have more "bargaining power" and confidence to select their future wife although their life partner might be 10 years younger than their current age in my opinion.
Maybe things would be different a little if our Malaysian government would be more concern about our citizen welfare. However, some people might think that the people who get support from government will become "lazy" as they don't really need to work to earn money. During the afternoon, we went to the nearby Ask Italian restaurant to have our lunch. It was my first time to try the "Risotto Con Gamberoni" and it is quite nice to eat. Then I just ask about whether is there any celebration for Winter Solstice festival and it seems that there is no celebration for British people. Actually I do have a feeling that another year passed so fast again when I read back my Winter Solstice 2012 blog post although it is quite ashamed.
Basically winter solstice is just a time to marks the shortest day and longest night of the year although some druids and pagans went to Stonehenge to celebrate it. However, it is different for Chinese communities as it is also known as Dong Zhi Festival for gathering which symbolize reunion. Well, my mother would usually make "Tang Yuan" (汤圆) or known as balls of glutinuous rice flour for us. Besides, the actual date of winter solstice for East Asians time was on around 22nd December instead of today in UK. There was a picture that I find it is quite funny to share about the Tang Yuan was in a form of angry birth as shown below.
After having our lunch, I do have some conversation with my cousin. It seems that the only thing that I could repay her for all the good thing that she shared to me was to become successful in my life or do something good to the next person. Besides, it is quite true that being authentic and humble would be one of the key to success. Another thing that I realized was buying a certain gift to person might not be a good way to show that you are grateful for when you received good thing. It is better to do something that from your own effort such as writing a letter and etc. Furthermore, if a thing that is really good, there might be no need to promote or mention it because people will eventually spread it by word of mouth.
Over time, I seems to be kept living in my comfort zone when people keep helping me when I fail on something. In the long run, I might end up didn't learn much if I stay in an over comfort zone. Perhaps it is true that a person that get pampered too much would facing more hard to survive in future. During the night, I spend my time on seeking some job and start to feel very stress because I still not sure whether want to work in which field. Then I started to ask some friend and it seems like everyone has their own journey. Somehow I do felt a little bad for myself when my friend thought that my English will improve like an England speaker but it seems like not a dramastic improvement after I had take the Super Intensive English course.
On the other hand, it might be true that the situation is always "You see me good, I see you good" (你看我好，我看你好) with my current situation as no one would really understand the drawback behind when I assume too much. Some of the stupid thoughts tat I have was how could I compare myself with my ex-college classmate who are more matured than me. Honestly, I do go to view my classmate current states one by one and wondering where is my networking skills as I felt myself finding them for a reason. Guess I shouldn't assume so much because life is too short to feel down. Perhaps I should be more grateful by having an opportunity to stay longer in London such as going to the Lion King musical and others places.
Later on, I just have some noodle as my "dinner" and do feel that I only get motivated when it is almost last minute. Seriously this bad attitude will kill me critically if I keep carry on and keep talking the same thing over again without taking the right action. By now, I have 2 more task to be completed before Sunday night but I still procrastinate most of the time by delaying the important task such as present the assignment, updating my Jobstreet/JobsDB resume and review post. Somehow I do agree that blogging is actually for people who are going to retire because they tends to have more time and i might be done it in the wrong way in my current age. At last, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Winter Solstice festival although it sounds like Merry Christmas to be as below.
