If there is something I want to improve and develop is my READINESS quotient. How can I be ready, when readiness is expected of me. The readiness to think, talk, and take action. I think all of life revolves around the 3T.One good way to keep track of your life is to setup a journal with multiple tabs which you can write on and keep check on your progress and call it your LIFE BOOK. Becasue if it is a book and it represents all the important areas of your life, then you have an obligation to fill up all the pages and do it well. I AM READY TO TAKE ACTION. How do I know? there is a crazy streak in me which will step forward, even tbough I may not seem to be very prepared for it. And there is definitely more to come. Already this month is jam packed with activities for me - all exciting new experience that will set me further in the adventurous road of life which stretches me, and pushes me to the limits. I am always for spontaneity and I see a lot of opportunities where I can flex my new found muscles. There are a lot of things happening for me this month than before. Wowee, I am excited about the ride. Everything is new and exciting from my job, to my friends, seminars, vacation, people I meet, things I do... there is certainly a load of stuff to pack into my suitcase and which I can barely close.

I think ultimately, I will stick to just one blog. It is easier that way, and it makes good sense to streamline your thoughts, events and activities. Furthermore I can tag the post depending on its lable, so why not just stick to JUST ONE BLOG from now on. I think there are a few considerations and "group of thoughts" when setting up a blog. Firstly am I going to report live, blow-by-blow of what is happeining around me, or am I going to talk as a matter of reflection, looking back on the past, reminising the good moments. And the second group of thoughts are: Is this blog for me, or for everyone else to see. And the third group of thoughts are: Am I just going to speak my mind or am I trying to say nice things to PR whoever or whatever. For your information, I hate all the second options. If I write, ultimately I just want to write the truth for myself. It will be the journal of my thoughts and my life, not to censor myself and what I say. My thoughts are personal and for me to know, that's all.

IT'S EXCITING to create a new blog, especially with a new header, it makes you want to say something. Though I haven't planted much thoughts in my previous blogs, I feel right to start a new, one more time. As the quote in the header said The Secret of Life is in reinventing yourself. Yes indeed, why do I say that? The fact is all of us have faced a lot of failed starts before. And sometimes it seems we have failed because we did not carry on. We did not see it to its completion, and sometimes we kind of wrapped our lives around the thought and idea that maybe I am not good enough, or I am not ready to go. My life is not real, therefore I can't give my best shot. And because it is a tedious job trying to backtrack to where you have gone wrong... so my whole life up to this point has been a mirage and a standstill. So it is not about what potential I have to be exploited, but rather am I ready or not? But readiness is also an illusion. How can you base something new on the past. The purpose of the new is that it is a launch pad. Day 57 since the beginning, is still a brand new start for the 57th time. So the brand new start is about now, not before. Like Rocky said It is about moving forward. So although I have created 36 other blogs prior to this which I haven't completed or followed through, there is nothing wrong to start again from now on. One More Time is the name of the game here. One more time I will make it work. One more time I will tell my story like I should. One more time I will persist on this journey called life, and hopefully it will lead me somewhere that I belong. By the way the inspiration for the banner came from a photo I took in a shopping mall in KL, coupled with a self-portrait of myself near the Indonesian embassy. While walking down the basement into the carpark, I saw this painted letter-G on the wall, indicating ground floor. But it is also an iconic symbol which represents my name. So I took a snapshot and marry it with some good pictures of myself. With the use of photoshop, here is the outcome. Aha. Not bad huh? The thing about writing blogs is that I can be very self-indulgent at times. I can go on and on talking about my feelings and point of view. Aren't we all like that sometimes. But it is part of the process of purging our lives. Life is about what you have started and what you completed. It works hand in hand. I would say for most people their problem is due to incompletion which sucks them dry or their ability to complete. So if you have an army of completion and incompletion fighting in the battlefield, who do you think will win? And if the bad guys are ahead, how do you think the good guys catch up and turn the battle around? LIFE IS ABOUT COMPLETION, which means you are answerable to yourself ultimately. Every year, every month, every day, every minute, every second allows you to reinvent your life anew - to reload your gun so to speak, pull the trigger to shoot one more round. This is the definitive answer.
