writing it...

Back the boring small town.

Time flies when you least noticed. It's tough trying to get hold of people you love and care within a short period of time. However, it serves as a lesson in life to learn to let go when time comes.

Last Thursday, i flew in to KL with my mum to attend the court hearing for my brother to be called into the Bar council after completing his chambering for 9 months. The session was on Friday morning and i get to witness the hearing. My brother is working for my cousin who is the senior associate in a law firm. After catching up with my cousin after the hearing, it was that point of time i realise that i need to pursue further to build a solid career for myself. Whatever i'm doing right now isn't exactly what my passion is for. It's either i take it as a foundation for my future career or i'll just be wasting my time working for what i have no passion for. There's so many things i wanted to do but i have to come up with a plan and start studying and do a thorough research. Time is running out. I need to act fast.

On Sunday, I joined the Reebok One Challenge which is held in Putrajaya, It covers a 18.95km run and 9 challenges in between the run. Challenges are running 50m with a 15kg sandbag, monkeybars, hurdles, wall climbing, hopping on tires, jungle trail, ant hills, climbing over the back of a pick-up truck and a hill climb. It took me 2hours 29minutes and 29seconds to complete but i could have finished off earlier if i had not waited for an uncle who i just met at the event. He is 48 years old and he just finish a 10km run the day before. He picked up running just 6 months ago and he serves as my motivator and teacher. He shared some valuable tips on running and became my talking companion for the first 14km until he insisted me to keep running and stop waiting for him as he might slow down my tempo. It was a great experience to join challenges like these as i get to gain more exposure in health and fitness with different people  that i met.

Wish that i could write more but my eyes are just tired. till then.

Somewhere in the new chapter of my life, after a series of unjustified complex feelings that occurred, I had decided to write down the footprints of my life.

Currently being relocated to a smaller town in the same state, things might appear similar but intrinsically, it is different. Being so accustomed to the life and culture back in my hometown, i experienced a culture shock when I first arrived.

The people here are much more 'family-oriented' compare to the people in my hometown. People tend to go home straight after work and also dine at home which makes a single lad like me, without a family here, difficult to blend in.  Back in my hometown, hanging out with colleagues and friends seems to be the normal daily routine but it's like taking a 180 degree turn.

I was delighted and motivated to go to work every morning when i was in my hometown but now after being transferred, i could only say, c'est la vie. Colleagues here seldom hang out together as compared to my colleagues back in my hometown. The work culture just seem so wrong here. I just hope that someday some miracle will happen in the Branch so things will get much better. It's like a person being hit rockbottom and struggling to get up.

Can't say much for now as i'm still new here and everything i said was from my perspective. However, there are a few lovely people I've met who willingly offered a warm hospitality when i'm in this small town. Really do appreciate people like them because they have unwilling listened to all my complaints of their hometown.

I'll stop here for now as i need more sleep. Drove down to another town which is a 150mins drive away just to meet up my colleague and my boss from my hometown, right after work. Had a drinking session with them and we all had fun. It was a great night which i longed for ever since i was being relocated. Then got up the next morning and drove back to work. I'm willing to sacrifice and put up this effort to meet up with them because they gave me quite an amount of help when i had trouble in my work. I love helping others but often my help has always been deemed insignificant thus i seldom have the experience of others treating me so well and helping me. Sounds like i'm such a loser, but what to do?? I'm just another guy walking on this earth together with another 7billion people like an ant within an army of ants.
