Felicia Tan’s Blog

Before this topic, my brains was dry for a while, don’t know what to write. No idea why, just nothing come into the mind, maybe due to work maybe due to something else. Just staring blankly at my blog thinking what can I write on. Maybe at this current times, when everyone thought is all channelled to the words like “downturns”, “bad economy”. I do not know what to say or how can I inspire people or at least friends around me.

I had this little habit now, wherever I write, I had my music turned on. It seems to help me to concentrate to write better. In NLP (Nero-Linguistics Programming), I am more to visual and auditory, that’s explain why I need the music on. Having said that, why the topic - Life is interesting? Different aspects of life.

Now at this time, when everyone is worried about this job, daily bread and butter. There are still fresh graduates entering market with no experience, no background. Looking at them, who has a bigger fear? You may say they have their parents supporting them however, aren’t they worried about this own livelihood as well bearing in mind they have heavier burden - to support the whole family. Also, to note their parents may not be in a high flying jobs but probably as taxi drivers, cleaners. At times like this, it makes their lives even tougher. Should I say is sad or pathetic?

Then again, on the other side, you see people still buying cars, investing in properties when price are damn low now (you should know what it means). You can’t help but wonder again, the rich get richer, the poor can poorer. Feeling unjustified, you want to be in the “Rich” area region, able to spend or work without much worry. Just how to get there? It seems unreachable, too high a target to get there? Just what defines what and who defines who to be in which region. Where are you now?

I have since setup my business for 4 years already. I have enjoyed and gained a lot in the process. I learnt, applied and learnt again to apply, sometimes maybe forgetting or missing some stuff along the way to the current stage. Neither was it easy, without perseverance, determination and focus, I would have given up long ago. Yet what is that 1 thing that kept me going on this while? Passion, love for life, family or money? The lifestyle that I want to led? I have got the answer but how about you?

This is the first time I have been requested by my friend to write a topic specifically. Rather stress though interesting. As the topic suggested, 12 things you do not know about me, therefore I should attempt to answer them. 

1. I like “Hacks” honey lemon flavoured sweet since young.
2. I like watermelon and tea, however I can’t eat or drink too much if not…
3.  I always do things with an objective in mind.
4. If I am not so forgetful or poor in my english language, I aspire to be a lawyer.
5. I don’t brush my teeth on weekend morning till when I need to eat. In short, I don’t want to be disturb and I can go without talking for a few hours.
6. At home, I am a very private person and guard my space. I do not want to sit near door opening where I will be exposed or seen first.
7. When I drive alone, I like to turn on the music very loudly and enjoy cool air-con. Shiok!
8. I wish I am a guy then I can enjoy the company of different girl every night without feeling guilty. Then I give up the “forest” when I marry lo.
9. I actually had the idea of leaving home when I am young but back then, I already know I can’t work to earn money to survive. So I have to give up the idea. Scary?
10. I seems to get along better with friends being the youngest in the family though I am the oldest in my family.
11. I always believe nothing is impossible, is whether have you try hard enough - When there is a will, there is a way.
12. I want to create a lifestyle for myself where I go to work because I like to and not because I have to for a living.
