Are we living in a Materialistic world?
Sometimes I wonder whether isit the society who forces us to become the ugly human we are or we ourselves are blinded by our desires and greed. Quoting myself as an example, I leave my homeland (away from my parents and friends) to seek for a better future. Yesh, I am getting higher pay and a better quality style of life right now but am I not persuing the Materialistic factor in life by doing so? Leaving my family and friends is always a very tough choice for me and my wife and sometimes I do wonder whether it is the right thing to do.
However, watching my friends slogging their life away back in my homeland and thus spending a lot less quality time with family and friends is also equivalent to my situations.
Whats the point of working so hard and spending so little quality time when I can work lesser and spend more quality time when I go back for a holidays. Delimma situations? I guess this is another which come first -chicken or egg type of question.
Being in Perth for 3-4 years really force me to grow up and learn to make tough choices. I got a good job currently however I wish to move on from the constant stress IT line. I guess I will take some extra course to enrich myself and of course , secure more promotions and higher pay (sighz.... how materialistic I am).
Sometimes I do wish just to strike some big lotto and return to homeland with no worries~ Dreams dreams Dreams again~~

Christmas Plan
My life has been quite a rollercoaster recently (exciting). With Christmas around the corner, many plans have been made. Initially, I wanted to go back Singapore for a holiday but due to cost, I decided to stop the trip. Therefore, my friends and me have planned a trip to Mandurah (roughly 1 hr drive from Perth City) on Christmas eve. We planned to go there in the afternoon to fish, then BBQ and spend the night crabbing. Very outdoor and will be very fun! My adventurers spirit already on the rise thinking of it!
Last Sunday was my buddy birthday. Allan, HAPPY Birthday again. We had a minor celebration with him in a steak house. The steak was best manz. Anyway, his gf from Melbourne gave him a nice surprise by popping over from Melbourne on Sunday. I must say that Allan was very surprised and ganz dongz! When his gf left him back to Melbourne, I ask him to my house for dinner (knowing that he will be damn sad). LoL. ALLAN, if you reading this, SAD SIMI LANz! You will be going Melbourne soon to join her anyway!
Makan – WOW
Recently, I had been quite bored with WoW. We had stop all official raids til January 2008 as officer want to organise a Makan BBQ during Christmas. Suppose to be a joyous event, however I am unable to attend as I am overseas. Kinda sucky. LoL. I guess there is a price to pay if you stay overseas bah.
Guild has been expanding kinda fast. There are some issue recently in the guild, namely; guildies who want to PVP more than PVE, guildies who refuse to participate in forum and sign up for raid and would rather wait to be invited, and some more. I would like to comment that when a guild grows, many people with different life experience will join and conflicts will always occur when people with different culture tries to mix around with each other. Communication is the key to settle all the issue. Lets all show support to the officer and allow them to resolve any issue. As guildies, our responsibilities are to be open and have faith in the leaders. Leaders, if you feels burnt out or whatever, do not be afraid to ask for help or take a holidays to cool things off. We can always find suitable people to take over the duties in the mean time~ Just a game, relax and enjoy lar~
