Ipoh Updates #1

Finally, the long awaited update... (yes don't kill me yet)

What have I been busy doing since I'm back in Ipoh?

Now where to start...

Ok. Since I came back to Ipoh during end of August, I have been busy settling down in my new but not so unfamiliar environment.

Let's start with my home for instant. I have to do some lawn mowing the 3 feet high grass, cleaning my house and renovate my kitchen, getting StreamyX and Astro back online, etc. You get the idea.

Social life? Well it turns out that some of my old buddies have been back to Ipoh and settling down here! A pleasant surprise no doubt, as we relive the moments of fun and craziness, the old school way. Lots of outings coming up during the weekends as well... and lots of weddings to attend and manage. Time to go to G2000 for shopping...

Work wise? Super busy.

Well working with my dad has never been easy, super uneasy actually. A lot of pressure and expectation was building on me. Imagine a guy like me coming all of a sudden from nowhere trying to take the equal (maybe not so equal actually) shares of whatever they have achieved for the last 10years. Yup, I have to perform to impress, or it will be a journey full of thorns and glares. Not to mention the conflicts that I have to deal within me. Sigh. Nevertheless, it's great as it's a whole new industry for me. Kinda exciting.

Oh my job title? I seriously don't know. I'm doing the job of a web developer, a marketing manager, a sales executive, store keeper, machine engineer, cleaner, and secretary. My dad said this: "You need to learn up everything in order to know everything about the operational and functionality of the business you are going to handle." I say, I'm just a cheap kuli being brainwashed into one of his evil schemes... since the labour fee has been rising high lately...

I've also been traveling up and down to various parts of Malaysia on business trips. Next two weeks will be in Sabah, Sarawak and China!!! Ha ha it's now autumn in Shang Hai. Yahoo! I love autumn. Think I will bring my leather jacket along. ^_^

I have been attending FGA Ipoh which is my church during the time I was raised in Ipoh. The sad part is that the church is dying down in numbers, spirit and lost the youth and YAs... Some major incident happened two years back contributed part of this happening. So, I have been church hopping for awhile. Suppose to go to CGMC tonight to check out the YA/youth service as some of my old FGA mates are there as well, but I think I will do it next time with my friends. Still not sure which church to settle down but something inside my heart tells me it will be FGA, which I'm trying hard not to believe. With the current state of my church now, you cant blame me... right? O...K...

Still got a lot of stories but I for now I will give you guys a general version. => Some of the SIB mates going to come down to Ipoh on next Wednesday (11th October) to visit me!!! Can't wait to see them and start the chit chatting and yadayada... Haha...

Well till next time, take care. I'm going to sleep. Early morning tomorrow...

Ciao...

Well... if the spirit has been lost, maybe you're back to help bring it up again? :)
