Life Without Rain [Part 4]

What can you gain from your investment? Sure enough, investments are long-term, probably years to get back you invested. What you put is what you gain. Or is it? To wait for those years can be painstaking. Patience is what is needed. Perseverance and high motivation is the element. But, what if those efforts that you put in, doesn't come out like what you wanted it supposed to be, or hoped for? Frustrated, depressed, hatred comes in the way. Intense. You feel like the world came tumbling down on you. Sure enough, the price of success is highly overrated. So much sacrifices needed. Lack of sleep is one of the factor. Sometimes you abandoned your health. Starve. Keep your money just for one day, hoping that it can be used the next day. You make friends, coming from all sorts of background. The rich, the poor, the beautiful and the elegant. Hoping that they will climb the ladder to success with you along the way. When you are at the finishing line, you are happy, joyful. Everything has came to an end. But, in fact, its only the start of another beginning. The end of a new beginning, some would say it. Its not an easy path to get there. From A to B. There are obstacles that you have to endure. Be it hard or easy. You have to face it. Plan is the magic word. Fail to plan is planning to fail. Ever heard of that before?

"Aren't you coming? Our friends will be there." With a nod, an instant reply,"No".

But why?

"I have my reasons and by the way, if I did come for them, would they did the same for me?".

Vettel: The Formula 1 2010 Champion

Sebastian Vettel has been crowned the 2010 Formula 1 World Champion after driving a remarkable race at the Abu Dhabi GP. Today’s achievement adds to Red Bull’s 2010 constructor’s title which the team bagged last week in Brazil. The youngest ever World Champion from Germany was the first driver to cross the finish line after starting from pole. His top rival, Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso who could have become champion if he finished in fourth place only managed seventh and lost the title by four points.

The double World Champion spent a lot of time behind Renault’s Vitaly Petrov and failed to overtake the Russian rookie and that pretty much took his championship chances away. Red Bull’s Mark Webber who was also a strong contender for the championship suffered from the same fate and spent the entire duration of the 55-lap race behind Alonso.

Vettel’s first place finish was accompanied by McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton who was closing the gap between himself and Vettel during the final few laps. Third place went to Hamilton’s teammate Jenson Button, champion of 2009. This meant that the podium of the 2010 Abu Dhabi GP at the Yas Marina circuit was made up by the 2008 champion (Hamilton), 2009 champion and of course of the freshly-crowned 2010 champion.

Word of The Day: Dirty Jobs

Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. A documentary that is different from others. From the title, ah yes, you would guessed it correctly. What comes to mind when you hear the word 'dirty'? Filthy, discuss-ting,black, rotten etc. All associated with the word, you name it. But, what makes this 'show' that makes me want to watch it even more? First, of course, is sort of 'educational' to know things that you may never even heard of before. In fact, this show is aired in Discovery Channel. Not sure what the exact time its aired, but I used to watch it after sending my siblings to school, in which the show starts at 7am. But, that's television. Where do I get the episodes from? From the CT (torrent), and currently finished season 5, and waiting for season 6. The second part is, the English itself. Yalah, where else could you improve your vocabulary and jargon of the English medium, TV lah (that's one channel though). The third, it makes you appreciate some of the things that you have. You feel lucky that it's not you that are doing the job. And thanks a lot because there are other people out there that are willing to do it. And last but not least, you will get to know some of the common things that you came across in life and makes you wonder; "how do you make those?".


Usually, at the start of each show, you will often hear; “Doing the kinds of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us.” Sounds true ain't it? So, if you haven't watch the show or never even watch it, spend some time to watch it. It's hilarious and fun! Nevertheless, you might ask, what kind of 'jobs' that they show? How 'dirty' is it? Well, for some, if you were in their shoes, and, doing the job almost everyday, some had already doing the same job 10, 20, or even 30 years, you might get the hang of it (fortunately, that's what I often hear in the show). And you could say, although some of the jobs sounds weird, dangerous, risky and so on, but, for them, they get to earn an honest living, and at the same time loving what they do and they are the best in their field.

After 5 seasons watching the episodes, and I think almost close to 300 different jobs shown, some of the jobs that I came across are bat cave scavenger, worm dung farmer, sewer inspector, chick sexer, sludge cleaner, ostrich farmer, cheese maker, chimney sweeper, alligator farmer, mushroom farmer, plumber, garbage pit technician, skull cleaner, geo-duck farmer, coal miner, alpaca shearer, hoof cleaner, bell maker, mosquito control officer, bug breeder, mule logger, well digger, salt miner, billboard installer, snake wrangler, leather tanner, reef ball maker, exotic animal keeper, buoy cleaner, dairy cow midwife, tar rigger, sheep castrator, leech trapper, mannequin factory, vellum maker, maggot farmer, gourd maker, bologna maker, spider pharm, locomotive builder, mattress recycler, tofu maker, glass maker, toilet crusher, marble maker, worm grunter, animal control specialist and so on, just to name a few.
