			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered what your parents hope to achieve in their life? For some of us, we can only guess. For me, I chanced on a folded scribbled note in a tossed away NTUC plastic bag when clearing a typical zone of neglect in a corner of my house last Sunday.</p>
<p>I can never imagine that she holds such an ambition, but who can blame her when she has to take care of 2 grown-ups who are still incapable of providing for her financially?</p>
<p>Well, at least I know where she stands in her perspective with regards to this household.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attended the Canon training today at Raffles&#8217; Hotel. Didn&#8217;t know they actually hold presentations like this to let their resellers know more about their products. Gifts, lucky draws, and free buffet lunch. The lunch, was perhaps the most delectable one I have ever had despite it being not entirely vegetarian. The soup and desserts were the best.</p>
<p>Heard that salesmen would sometimes get F1 tickets too. Of course, it would be for those who have performed well.</p>
<p>I could get used to this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants to look good. And that is now ever so true when online social platforms like facebook is the avenue even employers are flocking to for a better (and truthful) evaluation of their potential employee.</p>
<p>As such, I shall now only put up flattering images of anyone I know online and never to post unattractive ones. To be negligent to that effect would also be like an insult to your friend; making them look horrible to the public.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The financial part is almost settled for now as I confirmed my decision for a new job. Starting work the following week.</p>
<p>With commission, hopefully can bring in more than 3-4K a month, 5K with my business income, which is of course, the ideal scenario.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, traffic volume to my listings shot up 20 times to make a record high. I believe it is mainly because I have started listing my items at a fixed price instead of auction, which from research of their discussion forums, hinted that such selling format is more favored by the eBay search engine.</p>
<p>Called the website company to request that they start billing me for the website. And could instantly sense their willingness to oblige. Which means I am still pretty much dependent on my eBay sales to cover my other expenses (such as my Indonesian staff&#8217;s salary) since more than 90% of my take-home pay goes to paying that company.</p>
<p>Once the website is officially up, I can start working at getting in sales. Which involved me hiring someone locally to photograph items from existing shops who are waiting for me to fulfill my promise to &#8216;convert their entire store online&#8217;. Shall quit my day job once sales generated from this business surpasses my pay for at least 3 consecutive months.</p>
<p>This job looks interesting, with very promising potentials too. They are understaffed, and they have a huge pool of untapped customers, and they are expecting a huge turnaround in January.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is indeed true when it was said that living a layman&#8217;s life will never be fruitful for a meditation practitioner who wishes to attain a certain level of spiritual achievement; like heating a piece of log and throwing it back into water everyday.</p>
<p>Unless the lifestyle is extremely simple, like those of people living in rural villages with minimal duties, the activities that occupies our day will distract us from maintaining our mindfulness.</p>
<p>For us young blood with so much dreams and pursuits in life, it is just not possible to keep the mind at peace for prolonged hours.</p>
<p>But that does not justify us doing absolutely nothing. We have to constantly make the effort to discipline our mind to stay on the path, unrelenting despite our circumstances. And perhaps one day, we may finally be able to &#8216;see&#8217; and be detached, to find true peace. conducive for our individual practice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This program is starting to get better each day, broadcasting live TV programs from Japanese TV stations. Now they have even included the HKTV channel, direct from Hong Kong, in Cantonese, and subtitles for some shows too!</p>
<p>Although the quality isn&#8217;t at all desirable, being able to watch it is superb enough.</p>
<p>Finally, after almost 2 years of intensive studying, I can finally make sense of some of the programs. In 2-3 more years, I should be able to communicate confidently with native Japanese.</p>
<p>Each language requires so much dedicated time. Really have to find a way to learn more languages at a time.</p>
<p>Still, now with the experience of language learning, I am confident to take on learning other languages with ease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those roaches do not usually get in my way but on this fateful day, one of them got its guts all forced out under my foot&#8217;s pressure. A little pop, like that is squeezing a large inflamed pimple. All watery and with some black paste-like mess&#8230; Sickening.</p>
<p>And the most amazing thing was that it actually could still stagger away after a good few minutes. Tough bastard. They say they will not die unless you have their head smashed&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where got people meditate until like me today? The more I sat, the angrier I got. Ridiculous! Don&#8217;t know what the occasion was today, but once I sat down, someone switched on the strong fluorescent lights, and started CHATTING! It didn&#8217;t last long, then they started chanting loudly for 15 minutes or so, then 2 irritating children joined in the orchestra, crying and throwing tantrum all over the place. Then everything else that was by right not a source of irritation started to get on my nerves. Even the devotee who faithfully and innocently poured water into the Bodhi tree became the subject of my displeasure. Until I simply gave up 10 minutes before the set time.</p>
<p>Next time, if I see that there are a lot of people there, I will refuse to commit any session again!</p>
<p>What a disaster. Stupid of me to insist on a sitting when the environment is not conducive.</p>
