This isn't a great way to start off my very first blog. Anyway ... here goes nothing ...
The year 2011 has just passed not long ago and I thought to myself, what have I achieved in that year that I can be proud of. Most people will just rattle off their long list of career achievements. I don't have that long a list but I can safely say that I've done pretty well in my career.
However, when I think of what I have achieved in my personal life, I drew a blank! It depresses me to think that a year has passed and I'm still ... ahem .. single! Well, the fault lies on no other than myself. I did not make any move. I just haven't found the right girl to be with. Will the year 2012 bring better prospects? I do not want to sound desperate but I sincerely hope so. Maybe not as advanced as a boy-gal relationship but certainly having more friends will be welcomed.
Starting from late 2011, I have committed to help a close friend of mine (a tennis friend actually) in this studies. Why, you might ask? Why bring back bad memories of my university days? Well ... I like a second chance in life. I know I screwed up my undergraduate. When I looked back at my grades last time ... I am so ashamed. I am very thankful for my first company (AlliedSignal Aerospace) to overlook all that and trained me up to be a proper engineer that I am today. And I see a little bit of me in him ... foreign country, away from home for the first time, etc. I want to help him overcome all that and become a better engineer than I can ever be.
I better stop before I bore all you readers with my depressing blog entry. Hahaha ...
These are some random thoughts I have on this Friday nite (yeah ... I'm at home writing this blog. See how sad this is?).
