Driven To Succeed

Mood-O-Meter : Pumped up!
On The Jukebox : Gavin Degraw - I Don't Wanna Be
Blog Snack : Good ol' H2O

This is my third year in the workforce, and I am pretty darn fortunate that my career has taken off like a rocket. Leaning curve's exponential, assuming new responsibilities, pay's good, I get to push colleagues around, call the shots. What more can I ask for, you ask? Shit, a lot more! But like what Uncle Ben told Peter Parker once, "With great power comes great responsibility".

So far I have been a Star at work, but all stars lose their shine one day. Gonna work a lot harder and smarter to kick some serious ass at work. This Star's gonna shine as bright as ever for a long long time.

By now a lot of you would have known me as someone very motivated and determined. On the flip side of the coin, I could be seen as arrogant and cocky. From my schooling days I have always tried to be the best I can in everything I do. This attitude prevails till today. That is why at times I fail to understand why some people can take things for granted (Tidak Apa, the Malaysian style) and being complacent (dare I say being plain lazy?). After a bit of reflecting, I realized that this is what separates between the Superstars, and the Rest Of The World. So who do you choose to be? A Superstar whome people look up to, or be an Average Joe / Plain Jane being pushed around like a bitch? Seize the moment, maties! All the best to you wherever you are, in whatever you do.

Welcome Jakunites!

Mood-O-Meter : Nostalgic
On The Jukebox : Confessions Part II- Usher
Blog Snack : Apple Custard Fruit

Welcome to my BLOG, my dear Jakunites!

First off, let me just say that I never did think that I'd be doing this blog thingy. Previously, it did not make sense to post an online diary to the whole world about our deepest, darkest secrets. But since condemning myself to the life of a Jakun (aka a hermit, uncivilized, isolated from society), BLOG's my second chance at reaching out to the people that has touched my life at one point in my life (Yes, that's you!). This one's out for you.

This BLOG will also be a test of my tech savvy-ness. I've always wanted to host my own website. This will be a stepping stone to achieve that. It may seem a bit cheesy in the beginnning, but I promise it will get better. Feel free to drop by to witness the improvements!

Finally, "Inside The Mind Of A Jakun" serves as a reflection of my thoughts and feelings. For those whom I had the priviledge to be close to, they would already know that I have quite a complex personality! So complex that I often amaze, confuse, or (regretfully sometimes) hurt loved ones. Reading "Inside Jakun" might help you understand me better, but most important of all help me figure myself out.

Till my next posting, I bid you adieu...
