Comparisons??

Wines wines wines.....that is all that is in my head. Why? Coz my CPA 113 case study is about the wine industry. Trying to prepare all the necessary preparations. I really really really hope that whatever that I had prepared are sufficient.

Yeah yeah.....I should be studying but I am taking a short break.

These few days (I am on leave), I have been on the fb so much (during my breaks la). Watching videos, looking at photos, commenting on people's status. (its so much fun when something is forbidden) I also played fb games......all these activities with Bi constantly harping at me to study and not waste time. He told me that he doesn't understand why I cant do all these after the exam. Like I said, things are more fun if its near exam time. hehehe.......

Anyway, there is another thought on my mind (nothing to do with my exam but I really wanna say here that I hope that I will pass this paper). You know how as humans, we all like to compare. Everything also wanna compare. Lifestyle, money, achievements, families, results, salary, gadgets, looks, hairstyle, diamonds, bags, shoes (I'm a girl ok so of coz those things I talk about is all girlish and stuff)

So why do we compare? I mean if compare already, then you will feel disatified with what you have. Then you will be unhappy. Unhappy already then? Some people are positive about this disatisfaction. They will work hard till they achieve what they want to achieve.

But there are others who are not so positive about this. They then to complain. Complain about life, complain how hard their life are, how this, how that. But they don't do anything about it. They wanna get a better job, let say for an example. But they don't do anything about it. They wont upgrade themselves, they wont even muster up the energy to write a good resume and send it out. They just sit there and complains to anyone and everyone who would listen. These people will just get more and more unhappy about their situation and makes everyone who is around them miserable.

Then there are those people who wanna compare but don't quite measure up. These are the people who puts everyone down, just to make themselves feel good. These people are quite easy to spot. Those who likes to boast and lives in denial. hahaha

So with all these comparisons, you cant help but ask yourself, what is the best? Is it earning big bucks? Owing that Hermes bag? Driving a ferrari/lambo/bently? Being able to buy that huge 12 carats diamond?

The answer that I think is the most suitable (and one that makes the most sense) is that what you think is the best is the best. So it doesn't necessary means that it has to be the best of everything but one that meets your needs.

Its good to have the drive to better yourself, but at some point, you just have to learn to be content.

So set your own needs and requirements. It do not have to be on the same set of needs and requirements of others.

Contentment........

OK...break time is over....back to thinking about wines.....wish me luck!

There have been so many instances where I came by my blog and I want to blog about so many things in my life. But there were also as many instances where I just gave up and kept my thoughts to myself. I am 34 years old in 2017 and soon I will be another year older. I am getting more jaded every year because of the things that I have seen. I also feel aimless. I feel as if I am meant to do something more than this. I do not want to wake up and go to work Monday to Friday and so happy when its Friday and becoming depressed when its Sunday (coz the next day would be Monday) It's not like I want to be a millionaire or something like that. Even though money is still important (Hey, I still gotta eat, cant very well grow my own food), it no longer hold the same position as compared to a few years ago. I do not care very much for status as well. Its all so fleeting. After being married in 2013, I am still childless at the moment. Its not by design but I dun mind it all that m...

Unveiling

I was so excited yesterday. Someone called and told me that it was ready for pick up. What is ready for pick up? What makes me so excited? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . What else would make me so excited other than cars? Woo Hoo!!!!! Subaru Impreze STi !!!! How cool is that? Bi fetched me yesterday around 5pm to pick up the car. I could not sit still at home. Was feeling so excited. STi has 3 settings, Intelligence, Sport and Sport Sharp. I read an article online saying that the Intelligence mode makes the STi crawls like a snail. Hmmmm, their exact words not mine. So Bi and me took the car out for a short drive. We were kinda disappointed with the power. It was then we realised that the setting was at intelligence. OMG!!!! When we changed the settings to Sport Sharp, the power is unbelievable. Its like 3 times faster and more powerful. We hit 180 km/h in less than 2 minutes (mite be less if not for those few turtles on the road). In the past S15 will need quite some time to hit 16...

After you by Jojo Moyes

After I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes  a few years ago, I was waiting for the sequel. What would happen to Lou after Will left? What would her life be? If I am Lou, I will constantly ask myself 'Why am I not enough?' 'Is there anything that I could have done to change his mind?' 'Was it all just me? Just in my mind?' In this sequel, Lou was a wreck! But it's understandable though, she had just lost the love of her life. She has lost someone who had shown her the different aspects of life. Showed her that the life she have had is so unbelievably small. There is so much more to live for. Showed her how she could have made a difference! I couldn't put the book down and I finished it within 1 and a half day. It was strangely compelling. You will be rooting get for Lou all the way. Although there are times that you can't help but get angry with her! 'What was she thinking??????' There was a part in the book that addresses the length of ti...
