Ah Song's Corner

For more than 10 years, I have been working in IT field. If you were to ask me what I had for breakfast yesterday, I probably tell you the same thing = glass of coffee and some biscuits, and sometimes I switched to Nasi Lemak or Roti Canai. Nothing has been changed since day one of my working life. Next month will be my life-changing month, as I decided to do something unrelated to IT! I will start a social organization by my own, and yes!  by my own self. Some questions keep coming to me, as some of my colleague curious on my movement and even ask me about my next destination. And when they learned about my decision, they were shocked and told me it is a brave decision to make. Just a brief understanding of my job, I currently work as a software development manager with about 30 staff reporting to me. Doing alright? For me, I am not doing any better than others. I always had a crazy thought that I always wanted to make more impact on society and the community. So, glad th...

You might know or don’t know that distance for full marathon is 42.195 KM and I am sure people been asking why 42.195 KM. I not having any answer for this as well, but I think it is because of the conversion from imperial units to the metric system. I am kind of enjoying running now, but not sure if I can survive 21km if I am going to try one. I still doubt about this and not to mention full marathon, but one day I will still working very hard to get this achieve. I will enjoy running is always the first time for me to keep my running activities rolling. Most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners are going for their personal finish time, though some runners just want to finish and achieve their own goal. I think I am type of participants just to join and get myself aware that I can run like a pro as well. :D Stay healthy is always my ultimate goal which never been replace by any others. "Goals are not only absolutely necessary to m...

Life Purpose. hmmm…what a word. This year seem like a roller coaster year for me. The month before I was happily enjoyed my Europe trip, now I am back to normal routine and serve my final month of the employment for this company. The reason of the decision is mainly because I am finding some impact I can make with my life. I always wanted to get myself doing something meaningful for the community, and been involve in some charity work. But this is never be enough if I never fully focus on this and gets some impact to community. I am thinking to live your life meaningful; you should have defined your impact with your life.   Just tell some story about my career so far, I am in a private sector for the past 10 years plus and still not sure if I made some impact to the community and better society. I never failed in delivering projects in IT sector, and been working with my full force of energy and getting things done accordingly. Despite always deliver positive impact on the...

Yes and everyone have stress, and it is kind of normal for people who always want to push themselves on achieving some goals. You can say you never experience stress even you facing some failure or problem that cannot be solve, but when you think it deeply and this thing will still biting your mind of thinking about that and keep thinking of how to get ribs of it. Welcome to the reality, this is stress. :P I was stress free when I was a kid and because I have more times to do crazy things like run around for 3 hours non-stop at school by playing hide and catch. We need to grow up and finally got myself into working life and I started to ignore about exercise and keep working on to achieve my goals and end up I am a fat and stressful guy. :D After 10 years of unhealthy life, I finally get myself up for something I never thought of: Running !   People who work out regularly say that they use exercise to manage their stress and as well as to be healthier. But then if exercis...

I think it is time to share a little bit of true story from mine, before and after I get myself kicking with more running activities. Even I started not long ago like just a year, but I think can proudly recommend running to everyone. This story should be back to 5 years ago. I have come across some friend who always went for run and I don’t really understand why they can keep running, and I kept pushing away with some lame excuse which I don’t have much time for these target-less activity. That was a time when I still feel running is a boring thing to do in this world. “You just do nothing, but run.” 2 Years later, I started to have some run just to have a taste on the feeling for running. I was pushed by the weight I had to get myself a try on running, and it end up not positive as it is hard for me to understand on why people can enjoy running that time. This is partly because of my weight and I don’t really know how to enjoy run, 1KM considered a hard job for me. Don’t lau...

Yup, and always every single person will have a list of dream in their head. Which I think we need to get this list of dreams become goals and cleared with some corrective actions for that. I believe everyone have dreams, if you don’t have meaning you don’t really have a great childhood. :P Dreams are always referring to a list of thing you always thinking, imagining, and inspiring yourself as you know these are not something can achieve in a shorter period and always keep inside your mind as you need them to drive your life and keep going with your believe. Recently these dreams become something that bothered me quite some period of times, and I am thinking to convert it become goals and get it cleared. I think this is the aging impact that gets my head cracked. If you think this is impossible, let me explain to you one example:- Europe trip used to be one of my dreams when I was first graduated from university, and now I managed to convert it become a goal and get it cle...

Have you ever get this feeling? Early morning when you wake up from your roller coaster sleep and you always stuck with the feeling that you want to do something different today. So, you decided to take another route to the office and as usual stuck in the bad traffic jam for 1 hour. By that time, you started mumbling at yourself as you had try something different which not really right, and still doubt about taken a new route was a correct choice. Then you came into office with some cheerful greeting among your colleague and realized that they gossip about you which you act differently today.  Another knock into what you have did, and you start to look at the workload and keen to clear up some tasks and you spent 8 hours in the office to get it done. By end of the day, you get another new long list of work by your boss and that can really “make your day”. You left office late and stuck into a bad traffic jam towards home. And you finally can enjoy your dinner at 9PM which ...

In 1990, when I came to the age that know football was a wonderful sport. I started to learn on 2 wonderful football clubs (Manchester United and Kedah FC) in this world which inspired me on personal hobby in football. Let’s talk about Kedah before we get into Manchester United. Kedah won 1990 Malaysia cup and we won Malaysia League by 1992, and I was very amazed with the team performance and sooner become sad on the match-fixing scandal which happen in Malaysia. By then I switched my love to focus on Manchester United and kept my hobby alive till today. My loves to football still stay strong with Manchester United styed clean with the team spirit that formed in this team. I still remember when SAF sold Dutch central defender Jaap Stam was sold to Lazio in 2001, and that was the time I hated SAF the most because I worried the team will lost in the year with lost one of the finest defenders in the world and eventually lost the league title on the year. But he manag...

Everyone loves traveling the world, and it’s no exception for me! I can say travel is about refreshing the mind and finding new inspirations in life. As it can be describe for finding new perspective in life. I love traveling, but I think not in group tour. As I find it difficult to catch up in term of flexibility and freedom. When I travel, I prefer doing it alone or with a few companions as it gives me the freedom and flexibility to do what I want. I enjoy travel like a travellers, this allow me to learn more on how local people in particular location live their life differently and got a chance to learn more on their view about many things. Travel make me feel like myself and become more humble and not particular with certain things which might caused us do something harmful to environment and other people.  Just done my Europe trips last month, and i am going to plan more in near future. Hope I no need to wait for so long on my next trip.  Really looking forward o...

Life is a journey, not a destination. Nice quote but someone might not really read the meaning return by this quote. I could never think of my life as a destination, but it could happen if one measure success for their life. They often compare success in life with other people, and keep themselves struggling with failures. Many people struggle, lose their health, hoard, and sacrifice many values, just to arrive at what they consider happiness to be which is to be success. I don’t think life should be measure by how many successes you can get; it should be treasure how much you learn and experience in the process for any target you want to achieve. You can also define and says it is not where you end up in life that counts, but how you got there. Many people reach old age realizing that they wasted the best years of their life, trying to chase something and make their life stressful. For me, life should be start with joy with learning to achieve certain resolution. I enjoy trave...
