Touring Penang Island

In my line of work, occasionally, I would bring my counterpart who came here for a visit for a tour around Penang island. The funny thing is,although it has been many times that I have been to all these "touristy" places, I don't seem to get bored. I think for every place we go to, they should be new things to see, new food to savour, new experience to gain.We just have to be open minded at enjoy the process.
Here's some pictures I took on some of my tour around Penang Island. Enjoy.

New Blog Theme

It has been almost two years that I have been using the pink template. Guess now it's time for a change....Here's the all blue theme..Loving it so far :)

It's been awhile..

Wow..if I don't come here anytime soon, I'm sure you'll see some mould growing on this blog here...:P

I've always wanted to put my thoughts into words, but by the time I turned on my laptop, I'd rather do everything else rather than writing after a tiring day of work! Whoopps, procrastination..definitely...

Anyway,I've been listening to some really nice country music and I'm hooked to Rascal Flatt's "Bless the Broken Road" and Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home" & "So Small" currently...
Love the lyrics, love the meaning behind them..That's the reason why I simply love country music. For this genre of music, it's not always about love stories but more to real life experiences that we could relate to!

If you have the time, please go to youtube, and search for the songs I mentioned.

The chosen path

If given a choice, do you opt for a relatively stress-free,easy going 9-5 job or a hectic schedule kind of a job with unpredictable load of tasks and workstress? You might be thinking, siao ar (crazy) ... ? Of course it's the easy going job lar...who wants to have a hard life when you can have a relaxing job,right? Well, in this sense, I sometimes think that I am insane...

Personally for me, I prefer the more hectic lifestyle, hence the more stressful job. Yes, you heard me right. For some reason, I can't seemed to be able to adapt to a relatively free and easy job. The first job that I switched to fits the bill of a 9 to 5 job. And guess what? I didn't last very long in that job, as I felt bored. To me, being bored with nothing to do is worst than being super busy.

My current job, is what suits me the most. Being in the job for barely 7 months, I have transfered 3 product lines from across the globe. Challenging and stressful? No doubt about that. But no I am not complaining, as the satisfaction that i get after a day's hard work is definitely worth it.

Anyway, I don't know if all this will change when I have a family of my own. At that time, maybe a decent 9-to-5 job should suit me well.

We'll see... :)
