Life can be one strange thing. Soon after I wrote the previous entry, a close child hood friend rang me up to ask about my well-being. This friend doesn't read my blog and seldom call.

Naturally I shared with my friend what were the issues I was facing and the things that were bothering me. My friend gave me some really concrete useful advice. About the money pressure I am currently facing, my friend remarked, "It's only money problem. You can always earn it back. Just be a bit humble and lower your expectations and you can earn back the money. But please don’t work at Starbucks hor … *laugh* … Meantime you can earn some money and wait for your ideal job to be made available. Give yourself three months ..." That right, I think all is not lost on the money front yet ... just need to always look at matters from a different angle.

Good mates, you don't need plenty of them. A few is sufficient. Grin, boy! I feel like an old man now with a few good friends :)!
