Houston, we have Liftoff!

Hello planet earth! It's great to be writing my very first blog! I guess it is the "in" thing of the moment. Actually, I am a regular emailer. So now writing a blog is not that much of a difference for me except for the fact that I can reach out to anyone who has an internet connection. I just want to you a story about my life, that's all =)

Along the way, I may get distracted or hallucinate when writing my blog. Why? Because I write whatever is in my head...bullshit, truth, false, reality, etc. You know, just let my fingers do the typing and type anything that just pops out of my creative cerebral. I'll try not to be too emotional in certain things but seeing that I am a Virgo, it is hard to do this.

Another reason for me to start this blog is because I have a challenge with a certain friend of mine. Well, I don't even know what we are betting for but we're competing to see who has the higher hits each and every day on our blogs. Sounds kind of childish isn't it? She's a seasoned blogger so that's her advantage while I am just starting out and feeling new to this.

How did I ever came about with the title of my blog? Well, while I was busy listening to internet radio. Yeah, it's really great to tune in to internet radio provided you have fast connection. If not, it's not going to sound pretty. Well, let me get back on track. Like I said, I was listening to one of the many channels of internet radio, the song "Story Of My Life" by Bon Jovi comes to life and wham! It hits my head, that's it...that's going to be my blog title.

The past 2 years have been a little rough for me personally. The only thing that came out good was that I am starting not to take life for granted, stronger to face the future and realize that I have lots of friends that I need to appreciate in life.

I have been inspired by one person whom I thought would be my soulmate, my dream girl so to speak but that was not the case. Having said that, I really believe there's another half of the puzzle that completes our soul for everyone out there. Sometimes it may fit nicely but it doesn't mean it will fit forever. She's really an inspiration to me and always will be. The things that I thought I could never do or even care about started to matter more to me. It was like I wanted to improve in every aspect of my life just for the sake of her. While this was happening, it actually made me grow as a person. All these lessons learnt will always be close to my heart. It makes me believe that life on this planet is all about being inspired to do great things with our lives. Cyn, if you're reading this, thanks a million and I will always think that you are the best whether you are with me or not. I feel happy to know that we are still friends...lots of love always and take good care of yourself =)

Well, that's probably one story of my life worth writing =) If I happen to become famous in the near future or go into journalism, I wouldn't mind writing about it. Why? Because it's inspiring ^_^

I was meaning to let you all know that I just started my very own internet radio! It's called ironhi5! Haha! Well, I'll put on music and broadcast to the internet whenever I am online. Yeah, I sort of turned into a copycat for this one because a friend of mine asked me to tune into her internet radio. It sounded so cool because she even spoke on the radio like a dj and belted out all those songs on the internet. It's like a chance for everyone out there to be a radio dj! At the moment, I haven't started talking on the radio yet but hopefully soon enough. So this is probably the thing that I am toying with lately on the internet.

I have been going behind my bosses' back applying for jobs. Well, it's been 7 years already working in my current company. Is this considered a disloyalty to the company? I think the 7 years have proven that I can be loyal to a company. I felt that at this point of my life. I needed a change, a new challenge perhaps. I won't care if the job pays well or not, as long as it pays my expenses sufficiently. Even being barrista would be appealing for myself. Well, I've sort of built my career on customer service when in fact I studied engineering. Sounds as if I have given back all my knowledge to my lecturers? Well, not exactly because I am in a technical customer service job. So having an engineering has come in handy.

I believe you have to be a designer in order to be successful in engineering, not to be engineers who maintain stuff. It's just not a career worth studying engineering for. Having said that, engineering is such a difficult field. It has made me feel like I can learn anything. Yes, I may not be in business or IT field but after doing all the maths, engineering theories you tend to reach a level of understanding. Just ask an accountant to do a technical job like soldering a componet on the motherboard. Would they know how to do it? Yes, provided you showed them how to do it. Ask an engineer to balance the books, give them some time and they will be able to do it. I am not boasting about engineering but it is a known fact that engineers can take on any other alternative profession, banking, sales, finance, marketing. It's been done, just ask anyone if this is true.

It is just that now education is more towards professionalism. Things are more specialized. You can see an engineer applying for a programming job and they would have no problem getting the job 10 years ago. But now, they would have to compete with the specialized graduates.

Finally, I hope you guys and gals did enjoy what I have to write. I am not sure what I wrote makes any sense or even interests anyone. So all feedbacks are welcomed and any topic that you all wish for me to touch on will be greatly appreciated. I am sure a few adjustments here and there would make the blog better. So have to find my muse and my writing style =)
