Been missing a while. Checked back and realised that the last post was 2nd March, some 20over days ago. March has been a busy period, but yet it's a month that with many wonderful experiences, eye opening period.
Since 2nd March, was rather tight down with "Partners Agaisnt Poverty" which was held on 7 March. It was a collaboration between state government with various private institution to raise the poverty line in Penang to RM500 income per family, especially on the outskirts of Penang. i seriously can't imagine how families survive with a merge income of less than RM400 per month. I for one who doesn't support donations and charity in monetary kind, there should be more concerted effort from all walks of life to ensure that everyone deserves a better living environment. Various big organizations could adopt these families by ensuring the families' welfare are taken care off and these childrens are give proper educations. Rather than spending money on some publicity stunts or building iconic round-a-bouts, those money can be put to a better use. The PAP event, success it was as RM 1.15millions were collected after 3weeks of hard work, thanks to some 180companies that contributed towards the fund.
Soon after, attended an annual dinner of one of the local political party. As usual, in such an event, all the talks were of those criticizing one another, especially towards the oposition party. Nevertheless, was great to see those politicians in person and hear them out in person rather than read something twisted from the newspaper.
At the same time, GG also requested to revisit our shelved business plan as again, opportunity arises. We have gone and visit various identical business plans and monitor the sentiments of the market. Surprisingly, even in such an economy sentiment, pubs and cafes were 60% filled throughout the weekdays. But then again, we concluded that we'll continue to wait for the next opportunity for it's worth waiting for the right opportunity rather than jump at every opportunity.
The best part of all, during these hectic 3weeks, i managed to squeeze in 3 assignments. It was a real challenge to juggle between work and studies, and on top of that with so many events in between. I guess, from the hard way, i did learn something about procastination and time management. Though i managed to pull through everything just in time, guess things could have been better. I must thank somebody though, Cat, thanks for all your wonderful inputs, ideas and suggestions towards my assignments. You've been there to kick my ass and pushed me when the chips are down. Hopefully, i'm better motivated in my next assignments.
When people says "a friend in need is a friend indeed". Guess that is true. I was blessed with many friends who has been there one way or another. Thanks to all my friends.
