      <title>A great start of the year 2009..</title>
      <link>http://brucmerit.blogdrive.com/archive/174.html</link>
      <pubDate>Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:52:50 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;to close the chapter of the bad year 2008..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;time to write some stuffs after abandoning this space here for nearly half a year. I wanted to do this when the new year comes..but i hafta go for a sailing that lasted me frm new year till today..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And that marks the beginning of a great year..forget abt the economic crisis..so much talk abt it when it doesn't affect me. I have an iron rice bowl for now..&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To begin with the great 2009..let's talk abt my iron rice bowl..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I started off the new year by goin on a sailing trip which i will nvr regret..it was an unexpected trip anyway as the team has alr been formed and i happened to grab this opportunity to slot myself in at the last minute. I name this fate.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As a naval diver, we often get&amp;nbsp;deployed to ships for overseas exercise to support them in any form of activity that requires our expertises..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To many,&amp;nbsp;every country that i've visited is considered a free vacation for me..free transport..free lodging..and subsidies meal allowance..I don't deny that fact..but, it also serve as a learning trip for me and that's one good thing abt signing on as a naval diver..which i discovered so far..nothing else. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Through these trips, i've learnt how living conditions are like in different places..the vast difference between developed countries like hawaii and japan to a little developing places like pattaya. The cultural difference between the more barbaric&amp;nbsp;cheenaman&amp;nbsp;and the polite thais and japs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Feeling of guilt came to me whenever after i succeeded slashing price for my purchases in pattaya..they are alr so poor there..why am i still so cruel to slash a few hundred bahts equilvalent to few singapore dollars for a shirt when im paying $50 for just one &quot;mr happy&quot; shirt frm NUM in singapore. It doesnt make me mr happy when i thought of that..It just doesnt sound right.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then the people at pattaya..as what pattaya is famously know as..the sex city of asia. It's like almost all the girls there are sex workers..(i can't say all cause i know ah fon is not..haha..)and tourists who go pattaya have only one objective..s.e.x. over the period of 8 days there, seeing what's before my eyes..i really hate and dispise the girls..why must they work as sex workers..bar girls..cant they get a decent job at Macdonalds but to have their bodies earning some dirty money. But then again..on the other side of me..i thought..if there is no demand..how are these supplies being able to sustain in the market. Now, i pity these girls..i witnessed how&amp;nbsp;low their living standards are and probably resorting to such ways of earning money is the way to survive.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I took all these into my heart and i think back..we in singapore always thought of getting rich..earning the 1st million..driving benz..live in condo..get&amp;nbsp;hooked up with all the hot girls/rich guys..whereas people frm other country are&amp;nbsp;trying every desperate ways to earn&amp;nbsp;enough just for the survival of 3 meals and a roof over their families' head..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Chinese New Year is coming..here we are planning&amp;nbsp;how many abalones we are goin to have this&amp;nbsp;yr during reunion dinner but back in pattaya..i walked through supermarkets and cant even find a can of it..able to afford&amp;nbsp;essence of chicken is already a very&amp;nbsp;big thing..and only tourists&amp;nbsp;can afford&amp;nbsp;them..and there we are&amp;nbsp;again..slashing&amp;nbsp;prices&amp;nbsp;when we buy things from them..if not we will be&amp;nbsp;carrot head..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;But think..what's more cruel..being called a carrot head or depriving&amp;nbsp;them&amp;nbsp;of that few dollars for survival in&amp;nbsp;this world. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Think.&amp;nbsp;Think. i've gotten my answer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Everything happens for a reason.&lt;BR&gt;I've been thinking abt it and i have narrowed down to 2 indications which the incident has brought me into.&lt;BR&gt;Is it a sign telling me that it is time to review my path?&lt;BR&gt;Or is it a sign telling me that i have made a wrong move in the past which led to this..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Suddenly, i came to realise that everything that happens are inter-related. They are the cause and effect of another thing that has happened or going to happen. &lt;BR&gt;And i call this relation &quot;fate&quot;.&lt;BR&gt;We are fated to experience all these and what we only can do to change whatever that will happen is..choice.&lt;BR&gt;whether we made the right or wrong decision, fate will guide us back by giving us the tell tale signs by the incidents that happen along the way.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hopefully i can figure out something out of this soon. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/35557/202027/click/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/35557/202027/img/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbrucmerit.blogdrive.com%2Farchive%2F172.html&amp;amp;pid=1846251505&quot; alt=&quot;Ads by Yahoo!&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- end(Yahoo ad) --&gt;</description>
