As I step into the working world, I noticed that I have read less and less. There are too many distraction surrounding us as we live in the digital age. Facebook and Instagram are so addictive and our time are occupied by it unconsciously.
Reading is good exercise for our brain and it helps us to gain knowledge. From today onward, I must make reading a daily habit, else no Facebook or Instagram time.

The Good Side of Social Media
A maid who went to Lucky Plaza store for a screen protector was not so lucky as she was force by EZ Advance Trading Enterprise's staff to pay $145. This matter was bought to light by her employer and posted on her facebook. The news was brought to the attention of the Straits Times reporter and become a Singaporean news. EZ advance boss quickly refund the maid as I think he does not want further media attention.
Social media if put into good use can quickly bring justice against these unscrupulous businesses when the consumer law is too slow and cumbersome to react.

Lady Luck in Your Life
Recently, 238 A-level chemistry answer scripts from 4 Singapore JCs was stolen in Britain and I read with a smile from the answer by one of the student:
"Another student from the same JC said he scored an A despite not answering a third of Paper 3. “I still got an A even though I was expecting a B or C. However, God listened to my prayers and this incident happened, resulting in my distinction.”"
In life, it really feels good that lady luck is on your side. Your life and career will be smooth and there will be no worry about money. It makes me think about one of my colleague who always strike 4D and his life and career seems always smooth and easy. Whenever he encounter any kind of trouble, somewhere, somehow a 贵人(gui ren) will appear to help him. How I wish lady luck is always with me.

A Level Result
My son receive his 'A' level result and was disappointed as it was not great, only average.
General paper 'D', Economics 'C', Chemistry 'C', Biology 'C', Mathematics 'C'.
I told him not to worry too much as result does mean Its The End. What he need to do not is to continue his studies either in the private school or polytechnics. I always believe that if a person continue to upgrade, there will be other opportunities open up for us. I told him to embrace a little setback and move forward.

Stuck in Career
After 20 years in my IT career, I think I am stuck. The 1st 5 years is where I really learn alot and after that, it seems that my learning slow as I am not learning anything new. Talking to my senior colleague and found that they have the same feeling. So here I am, trying to learn something new after work by exploring things like how to register a domain, host a website and tracking my progress with this personal blog. I am glad that the internet was invented during my life time.

Daily Writing
For quite sometimes, I have been lazy and had not been writing. That is why I create this new blog to ensure that I practise writing something on a daily basis and it does not matter whether it is long or short. I make it public and searchable but I don't actually promote it, so if you happen to read it, that was pure coincidence.

The Millionaire Master Plan - Reading Notes
The Millionaire Master Plan: Your Personalized Path to Financial Success
Do not pick a path based on someone telling you it's a better or faster way to make money. Don't follow a path only for the money.
Do seek people out through your network and research who you would be passionate about working with - passionate enough that even if you didn't achieve all your financial goals, you would find the work fulfilling and energizing.
