Jangan Lagi Nak Tengok Belakang
Last Thursday I attended KLITF in Matrade KL. I was there to learn new knowledge and update of the industries. I am also there to learn from selected presenters who represent their respective company on how they become so successful in their business. I think I learned a lot from the event, it give me the new insight and more believe that the principles I have put in place for my business is correct. I just need to wait and keep holding on my believe I think I can succeed given enough time.

dah jauh kebelakng
Hari demi hari aku terus maju kedepan melihat segala peluang yang terbentang luas. Kepahitan yang lepas dalam bisnes dan tipu helah dah jauh ditinggalkan kebelakang. Apa yang berlaku telah menjadi satu pengalaman yang sungguh bermakna dalam aku mengejar cita cita untuk mebina sebuah organisasi yang boleh dibanggakan. Pengalaman yang ada rupanya telah juga digunakan oleh orang lain untuk belajar bagaimana aku membina semula satu semangat setelah dijatuhkan oleh rakan sendiri.
Walaupun segala rintangan yang datang aku dapat tanggani dengan tabah tanpa nampak sebarang perubahan pada aku secara zahir, tapi sebenarnya segala permasalahan itu amat perit juga untuk ditanggung. Aku kini lebih dekat rasanya dengan maha pencipta kerana dialah yang mendengar segala doa aku untuk memberikan rezeki untuk aku terus hidup.
aku kini lebih matang, lebih tabah dan kuat dari segi mental...Alhamdulilah.

Cover Belakang Baik Punyaaa!!!
For the last couple of days I am quite under pressure. Even though my hard works for the last few month seem to be fruitful, I am now under pressure to prove that the result from my continous lobbying for job to be good or best as promised to the client. They look up on me so I need to maintain and ensure that I give them the product that they expected. Tough off course! it tough because I am only getting minimum helps from my people. I do not blame them because they have done their best up to their capacity. With the education background and less experience nothing much they can do. I for sure must learn to adopt this kind of situation and live with it...I know things will falls into places when the time comes.

Maju ke depan...tapi pastikan belakang OK!!
Betul la kata kata bahawa kalau kita berusaha dalam melakukan sesuatu perkara dengan ikhlas pasti pada satu masa ia akan membuahkan hasil. Ini betul betul terjadi dalam kehidupan aku sendiri, segala penat lelah selama empat bulan yang lepas mula menampakkan hasil.
Yang pasti aku percaya usaha ini dicapai dengan berkat doa dari ibubapa serta rakan rakan terdekat yang ingin melihat aku bangun setelah aku dimain belakang. Aku juga belajar dalam kita ingin mencapai sesuatu hajat rintangan yang kita hadapi hinggalah ke minit yang terakhir, ada saja yang tak kena dan perlukan satu tindkan pantas agar ia tidak memburukkan keadaan.

Jangan lagi Tengok Belakang...Teruss Maju!!!!
Alhamdulilah, hari ni aku agak gembira dan bersemangat. Kerja keras dan segala rancangan yang aku usahakan selama 4 bulan lepas sudah mula menampakkan hasil. Kerja keras ni aku rasa takkan dapat kalau aku tak sama sama berdoa semoga dimurahkan rezeki. One important think I am now lead a more happy and quality life. Kalau dulu aku memang respek ahli2 koporat yang berjaya menjadi multi billionaire yang terus berkerja keras sepanjang hidup. Tapi sejak kebelakangan ni aku lebih respek mereka yang dah berumur yang mempunyai kualiti hidup, cukup makan pakai, takde masalah kewangan boleh kemana saja yang nak pegi tak risaukan macamana nak maintain kekayaan atau memikirkan macam mana nak jatuhkan korporat yang lain...aku dah ada jumpa dua orang senior yang sedang menikmati zaman veteran mereka dengan mempunyai masa yang cukup untuk buat apa yang mereka suka. Macam ni baru best...tak de masalah , cukup duit simpanan..Mungkin nanti aku akan tanya apa rahsia hidup. But one thing for sure they know how to manage their life and live life the fullest!!

Terus tinggalkan Belakang
I am back in KL since last few days. My experience for the last few days in Sabah and Sarawak interior have given me a better outlook of this life. Dimana tempat yang boleh mencari rezeki disitulah ada kehidupan manusia. Kadang kadamg rasa pelik kenapa tempat yang ulu macam ni pun ada orang sanggup tinggal. Kalau difikirkan memang la tak logik tapi kerana itu yang mereka tahu maka disitulah mereka tinggal demi mencari rezeki ataupun tak sanggup meninggalkan kampung halaman mereka. Kalau mereka disogokkan dengan kemewahan seperti yang dinikmati oleh orang bandar dah tentu mereka juga tak nak tinggal ditempat macam ni.
Beberapa hari lepas tak silap aku ada dengar satu discussion in the radio pasal benda branded, macam mana orang kat Malaysia sekarang ni cuma nak beli barang berjenama jee...kerana ini melambangkan status..dunia meteriaslistik sekarang ni nak buat cam mana...yang jadi masalah ada antara kita yang beli barang tiruan kat pasar malam..itu takpe jangan kita terbeli barang berjenama tiruan di upmarket shopping mall dah la kalau macam tu lagi naya.
Tapi hidup ni sema orang nak nampak smart..first impression sebab manusia biasanya suka dipuji dan dihormati...itu yang ada sanggup jual maruah diri dan jadi con man untuk mencapai kesenangan dengan kata lain tikam belakang la...atau cari duit "bawah meja"...
Tapi kata satu uztaz dalam ceramah dalam IKIM FM yang aku dengar masa drive balik KK dari Lawas..katanya dalam hidup ni nak kena ada DUIT, D= Doa U=Usaha I=Ikhtiar T=Tawakkal yang ini aku percaya...sebab dah 3 bulan aku buat bisnes sendiri ni memamn aku berpegang teguh dengan DUIT. Hasilnya mula dah nampak...insallah.

Patah Balik Belakang
19/06/2009- LAWAS
Hari ni bermula pada pukul 7.05 pagi dari Hotel Shangsan Lawas. First thing first, look for heavy breakfast somewhere in the vicinity of the hotel. Dah lupa nama restoran pagi tadi, but the best part when I asked for roti canai the lady told me that " roti ndak ada lagi....tukang buat roti hantar anak sekolah" hah what? kalau kat KL pukul 5 pagi dah tabur roti dah...that live in Lawas just need to follow the flow.
Habis breakfast terus bergerak ke arah Long Samado nak carik beberapa sunai kat sana...first destination Sungai Pa Bekulu. Masuk jalan balak, first time bawak 4 wheel jalan macam ni.. interesting but I know it is dengerous, actually I worried but I keep to myself without telling the others. We arrived Pa Bekulu dalam pukul 8.30 pagi park kereta dan our destination is off by 1000 metres. Cantik bukan sungai pun ini jeram dengan batu-batu. Kami turun ke Sungai dan jalan terus atas batu sampai lebih kurang 800 meter dari destinasi yang kami nak pegi. terus selesaikan kerja dan bergerak balik. Masa ni kami dapat pengalaman baru...tengok macam mana lori balak bergerak guna jalan ni...memang laju gilerrr....bila lepas je lori balak ni dari kami penuh habuk naik jalan..memeng bahaya tak nampak depan....
Bila sampai ke kereta kami terus set GPS untuk ke Sungai Briwan dalam 6 km dari Pa Bekulu. Jalan masih okay tapi kami selisih dengan lori balak dan 4 wd...laju betul diaorang bawak kereta kat jalan balak ni...masa ni kami sedar yang tayar kami ni tak sesuaio untuk pakai offroad jalan macam ni...tapi kami samapi jugak la ke Sungai Briwan...Sungai Briwan pun sebenarnya jeram tapi besar sikit dari Pa Bekulu. Interesting...
Dah selasai kerja dan tengok jalan kat depan kena naik bukit tinggi kami pun ambil keputusan tak nak terus ke depan...patah balik dan terus buat sungai yang patut kami buat semalam...
Keluar simpang Long Semado kami terus kearah KK untuk ke Sungai Limpaki...Sungai Limpaki terletak dalam kampung kaum Lembawang..sempat sembang dengan seorang pakcik dari situ...kata nye untuk projek ni tanah dia kena ambik la sikit dapat la duit dalam 20 ribu tak cukup kata nye..aku pun sibuk mengapikan dia kata betul la sikit sangat...tapi ye la kalau jadi jutawan pun aku tak rasa pakcik ni tau macam mana nak handle..
Sungai Limpaki memang cantik....jeram kecik macam kat janda baik...air bawah lutut..sebab musim kemarau..kalau tak mungkin tinggi jugak kot. aku bukak kasut dan rendam kaki dalam air..sejuk nyaman sungguh kata orang kat sini...we spend about few hours at this location just to relex for awhile.
Selesai sungai ni kam terus balik ke arah pekan Lawas untuk carik bot nak ke destinasi berikutnya. Mid point we realised our GPS showed a direction to our next destination...earlier we do not aspect that our next destination is accesible by road...we are lucky...we managed to be at a position 100 meters off our final point. While the others are busy taking photos and carry out video shoot, I went to a nearby house and introduce myself to the keeper. He told me that he was engaged by a tug/barge owner as watchmen to look after the vessels owned by a plantation company based in Miri. I interviewed him and managed to get good information about the river. It seem that the river is an important means for transporting logs from nearby log pond upstream which the old man willingly to volenterr himself to showed it to us. He did that hoping that I can introduce him to my client for him to secure a job with them. I promised him to do so which I did not till now.
Around 1500 hours we are back at Lawas town for lunch before visiting night market which already started from noon I think. Our day finish with meeting with our client to discuss about tomorrow journey which I will not join. It is a pity that I will miss this trip which I consider a trip in a lifetime..I dont think I ever get a chance to travel to the interior near Sarawak / Indonesia border. I need to go back to KL to do other things which is equally important for my business. Hope I will able to see good photos from my team when they are back in KL. Good night.....

Maju Kebelakang
Yesterday I could not write and make any posting to this blog because I do not have excess to the internet. Yesterday journey was fun. We depart Bintulu in the morning and visited two rivers situated in between Bintulu and Miri.
To go here we are shifting from Bintulu Miri coastal highway to the old federal road to Miri. To make this short cut we passed few palm oil plantation. It is a gravel road and take us around 40 minutes uncomfortable ride.
Around noon we arrived at the junction that lead us to Sungai Paroh and Suai. Another 12 km on Palm oil plantation road, we are passing around 3 to 4 estates before reaching our first destination. It was drizzling so it make road not only bumpy but also slippery. The first river Paroh is only 4 meters wide. We took few photos and ready to go to next river Sungai Suai.
We continue our journey deep into the plantation for another 4 km that is based on my GPS. But I know now that in palm oil estate everything look the same, I know that without proper guide we will lost in this estate.
About 1 km from our target point our vehicle could not move further, so we got no choice but to walk to Sungai Suai. It look like near but it is actually not. Passing the undulating terrain in not an easy task. With my team I have a team member that is 61 years old, he is really fit old man that climb the hill easily and he make me feel shame of myself anyway.
We meet up with three Ibans on the way to Sungai Suai. Two middle age man and a lady probably their mother I think. She told me that they catch fish in the river for sale to the estate workers and whoever they meet along the way. They are from the nearest long house in Paroh. They have been there for four days sleeping in the tent they set up beside the river. It fresh "Ikan Toman". As we move on to continue our work they make their way to the location where we park our 4 wheel drive because they want to hop on our 4wd to go back home. I put my hat off to this people for what they are doing fish and camp in the middle of the jungle which I do not think I dare to do myself. Or probably a person like me are to complacent to the city and easy life.
We depart Suai after load off the three Ibans at the main road leading to their long house. I think the fishes that they managed to catch for the last four days will give them enough money to survive until end of the month. Did I tell you all that we took photos together and the best part is they also caught our photos using their handphone,quite surprise to see that.
We arrived Batu Niah for lunch as well as to get a new driver and vehicle that we will use for our journey to Long Seridan. Micheal is the driver name, have been doing the driving job for the last few years. He was a timber truck driver and mechanic for the last twenty years, I was given his contact by his son who attended my training session last two weeks. According to Micheal his drive all sort of people that wanted to go to interior such as government officer especially teachers from Semenanjung. I think I have chose the right guy to assist us for the journey.
We talked along the way, it is a good road up to Beluru, but after that we enter into gravel road all the way until Tinjar. Bumpy and slippery ride, since Micheal is an experience guy he just push until 100 km per hour even though the 4 wd that we are using vibrate heavily. Micheal told us that this road condition was like this sine last 30 years. I could not understand why something was not done to upgrade the road condition because the number of vehicles that using this road is more than some of Semenajung road. The best part is that in some villages only few kilometres with proper literate road, and according to Micheal the stretch was done during the election time.
From Belure we head for Lapok about 1 hour drive. There nothing much along the way except long houses of Iban's and Kenyah tribes. The are some design different that can be spotted. I saw peoples and keep asking myself how can they stay in very remote area.
From Lapok we drive up to Long Lama. Arrived there around 6 pm. Long Lama town located at other side of Batang Baram (road that river mouth in Miri). So we had to use a car ferry to cross.
It cost us RM15, that charges only apply before 8 pm, after 8pm the price going up to RM150 per trip. It means that in emergency situation when you require ferry to cross get yourself ready with RM150 in your pocket otherwise they will not move. Long Lama also accessible by express boat from Marudi and Ulu Baram in Miri.
After crossing we meet our client and search for the hotel to stay for the night. Hotel full house "Hotel Telang Usan" (I am not sure how many room but definitely no star). We asked around to find a place to stay luckily we found one house with three room that can rent for daily use.
I left my team and head to Miri around 7pm. It is dark but I got no choice to catch up flight to KK the next morning to start survey other rivers from Sabah/Sarawak border to Lawas. Along the way it was dark only passing lighted area once every 10-15 km maybe. I managed to arrived Beluru safely around 8.30 pm this is where the driver declared to me he is actually not willing to back to Miri if I have not booked my flight to KK the next morning. Anyway we are safely back in Miri at 9 pm and had our dinner before I checked in into Somerset Hotel Miri.
Today my journey start at 0650 hrs, to Miri airport to catch 8.15 am flight to KK. I arrived in KK at 9 am hire a four wheel drive and move out fro terminal 2 KK to meet up with few friend in KK town.
My other team member that was coming from KL arrived in KK at noon time. I picked them up and start my journey to Lawas stopping at Beufort for a brief meeting with my client. I drove to Lawas quite fast compared to those local people to catch a meeting with my client in Lawas office. After the meeting we decided to knock off for the day and look for a hotel room to rest. Our work will start tomorrow early morning to the nearest river and moving south. Hope everything will be find and fun tomorrow.

Ketinggalan Belakang
Today event was a good start in the beginning. I turn up at the client office quite early in the morning with full of spirit to start our journey early. Unfortnately they are to slow to assist us, partly I am blaming myself for not doing my proper planning thoroughly.
We start off heading for the first river nearly noon time. I swithched on my new handheld GPS and then I realised to search for the exact point is not as easy as I thought earlier.
We miss the first river and need to turn back to search for the right one. We enter palm oil estate and this river located in the estate. This is not river this is stream!!! no river traffic will use this one. It means that our job is easy, fill up the form and that's it.
After about an hour there we move out from the palm oil, this when the problem started. Our 4 WD breakdown!! the gear jammed. I suspected that our driver drove the vehicle at fast speed when the 4 wheel gear still engaged. The gear oil leak and the vehicle towed to nearest workshop.
While waiting for the tow truck part of the team hop on the client's vehicle to look at river no 2. There again we arrived a stream not river!!! easy job...
We continue back to Bintulu for night stop today and only achieve 50% of our expected work today.
Hope tomorrow will be a ggod day for us.

Kena main belakang
Since my last write up, there are too many things had happened in my life. When I fist set up this blog I never thought that one day I will be the one will be played out. I cannot imagine that one day my close and most trusted friend kick me out from the company that I started. Anyway that is the fact of life. Since then there are a lot of things that I learned through this bitter experienced. I know now that I may be seen as soft but the fact that I am really cunning and hard headed person. My friend who trying to kill my careeer could not believe that I am much alive and kicking.
Thank god, I move on and after much hard work for the last couple of month I am now seeing the trees. Alhamdulilah. From tomorrow I will be doing my seconfd job. It is very interesting job going deep into Sarawak interior. I will post my daily activity in this blog if I managed to find time.

Tak Kebelakang la! ada sikit maju depan
1. Minggu lepas pada tahun baru Cina kami sekeluarge ke Melaka, setelah agak beberapa tahun tak ke pekan Melaka nampak ada la berubahan. Terkejut jugak tengok jumlah kereta yang sampai dari semua arah selepas tol Air keroh, aku tak rasa melaka pernah kena traffic jam yang macam ni sebelum ni.2. Antara politician Melayu yang aku paling kurang berkenan adalah Ali Rustam, bukan apa masa jadi Timbalan Menteri Pangangkutan dalam satu temuramah RTM dia kata "kenapa la lori-lori kita ni selalu aksiden, tengok kapal terbang berjam jam terbanag tapi jumlah kemalangan boleh kata kan tak de" sejak dia buat kenyataan macam tu terus aku hilang respect kat Mamat ni, boleh ke dia samakan bawak lori dengan bawak kapalterbang...tepuk dahi aku.
3. Tapi kali ni aku puji dia, namapak Melaka di bawah pimpinan Ali Rustam ada la kemajuan terutama dalam bidang pelancungan, nampak keseriusan beliau. Mungkin sebab benda ni kena dengan dia tak perlu fikir banyak-banyak, ataupun idea ni datang dari kontraktor yang create the jobs.
4. Satu benda yang aku suka adalah river cruise dan macam mana dia orang upgrade Sungai Melaka, well done kalau buat betul betul boleh tiru venice. Dah lama aku nak tengok sungai sungai kita walau pun keruh tapi ada proper wall at each side, aku tengok di Banagkok ada malahan sungai di sana dijadikan jalan pengangkutan utama yang murah untuk feri feri.

5. pemandanagan sepanjang Sungai tak lah begitu impresive sebab melalui belakang rumah kedai tapi ada effort untuk cantik kan kedai kedai ni. Perjalanan bermula di Taman Rempah dan melalui kampung melayu melaka dan berpusing di bandar hilir sebelum pulang di Taman Rempah.
6. Banyak tempat sebenarnya kat Melaka ni
boleh di lawati, memang rasanya datuk Ali berjaya la jadikan Melaka salah satu tempat pelancongan di Malaysia. Mungkin salah satu sebab lokasi yang terletak kat tengah tengah antara kawasan tengah dan selatan malaysia menjadikan masa perjalanan yang tak terlalu lama. Memang semua tahu kesan sejarah di Malaka yang secara automatik menjadikan Melaka sebuah tempat lawatan yang informatif. Walaupun begitu segala "effort" yang telah ditunjukkan oleh orang Melaka memang patut di beri pujian.
7. Lawatan kali ni bersama famili cuma kami melawat rumah tradisional Melayu Melaka di perigi Hang Tuah. Kami tak ke tempat lain sebab terlalu sesak. Kami akan datang pada hari minggu yan lain bukan masa cuti perayaan seperti ini. Aku suka rumah ni sebab tangga yang memang trademark rumah orang Melaka.
Tahniah orang Melaka kerana mejadikan Melaka tempat yang menarik, tapi kebersihan harus dijaga denagan lebih baik.

Negara Belakang kita @ Country at the back of us
7
My Machine in Black
6. I arrived Hatyai around 8 pm local time (GMT +7). Straight away check in to Sakura Hotel located at the town centre and ready for business dinner with my client.
The Pavilion Hotel Songkhla
My Machine in Black1. Negara belakang kita means Thailand, if we facing south. I pick up this title because last week I drove down there up to Songkhla via Bukit Kayu Hitam checkpoint.
2. The journey take me around 6 hours, departing KL around 4pm. It is worthwhile journey even though it is a long drive north. The weather along the way was good except that the traffic was quite heavy due to long CNY holiday.
3. I am passing the border checkpoints before 8pm, stopping at Changlon to buy car insurance before entering. This is compulsory for all Mlaysian car. Entering using personel car is not that difficult but it is not as sytematic as compared entering into Singapore.
4. Immediately after passing the checkpoint I am taken to a surprise that the road towards Hatyai is wide passig through few towns. I felt like driving in a country far away from Malaysia. What I observed that they celebrated CNY as important as in Malaysia because I can see the road being lite up with red lantern.
5. In Thailand the houses, factories and activities are close to the road, it make rather the road become more lively unlike us the NS highway passing through jungles. There are no toll, interesting, in fact I dont pay any single cents since passing the border. However a small tip from our friend local Changlon guy, always put one ringgit inside the passport, it make the border check become smoother. We followed his advice and he was right no problem or whatsoever encountered.
6. I arrived Hatyai around 8 pm local time (GMT +7). Straight away check in to Sakura Hotel located at the town centre and ready for business dinner with my client.
7. The next day early morning I checked out the hotel and ready for a short journey to Songkhla, my first destination will be the Pavilion Hotel to hae my breakfast. This is my problem whenever travelling to Thailand, the difficulty to find HALAL food. I know there are many for the fact that so many Thailand's muslim living here, but the problem is we do not have local gus that can tell us which one this is the lesson that I need to learn, get a local contact to give me information about the food.
The Pavilion Hotel Songkhla 8. Along the way, what I can see is generally Thailanders believe in god. So many tamples along the highway.
Buddist Tample along the way to Songkhla
9. Public transport was seen as an important mode of transportation in small town. It is seen in below photo. It is not a normal pick up truck!!
"The Bus"
Pasar Sehari along the way

Dulu Belakang Sekarang Depan@Last time at the back now infront
1. I saw BHO photos today in THE STAR, he was sitting down listening to his Secretary of state briefed him in standing position. The same sight may not even imagined last time the white standing while the black man sitting on his chair. This is what we call the wheel factor, when you are up not necessary you will not go down some days. Therefore we must be humble and respect each other whether if we are a leader or a follower.
2. What is leader? I would say that there is no correct definition to it. What I believe a good leader is someone that can make a group of people moves as a team to the direction he want to bring them. How they do it is up to them. Some may believe that shouting and pressuring is the best way or some may feel like listening and give instruction firmly is the best method. It all depend on what we believe but there is no one answer to it. But one thing for sure a great leader will not force the others to become like him, I mean the way he ruled. Everyone should have their own ways.
3. In business a great leader maybe judged by the profit that he made. Is it true? it might be true in the eyes of the investors but may not to his staff. In Asia we always judge a good leader is based on the $$$, even to the expense of cutting cost of normal works as well as staff benefits. This is what I like abut European leader, they always think about benefits rather than $$$ alone. They don't care if the profit is less as long as they can give as much as they can to the staff. But lately a lot of them also applying the same yard stick $$$$ to measure a good leader. I never believe in cost cutting of routine works as addtional profit.
4. Am I a good leader? yes and no. Yes, I am gifted with human relation skill. I can convince and motivate another person. No, because I am not taking care of their welfare seriously. I always avoiding conflict. I do know my strength and weakness. To be a great leader I need to concentrate to my strength which automatically eliminate my weakness.
5. What kind of future leader quality should we expect? someone that knowledgeable, good listener , can make decision with minimum errors etc. It is difficult to be the leader of the future. People are more aware and educated, you need to be at all time ahead of them. That is the answers.

Cerita Zaman Belakang@ back time story
1. I been reading few of my post in 2007 and 2008. It really funny how things changes so fast, those things that you thought will last happily ever after does not seem going to the direction anymore. That shows how things changes.
2. In my area of work, the oil price is very sensitive whether my service is required or not. We have seen how the oil price changes and drop to its low level (hopefully already reach the lowest point- which no one knows) just within 3 months. This really effect me, we just buy a new boats and she is not working because of this situation. This situation really put me under pressure...anyway without such storm life will not be interesting!
3. This is also the time that I keep on saying to myself whatever mistake I have done in the past should not be used as an excuse of my current situation. I keep on saying to myself that believe in GOD! we work hard to get things as we wish but he is the one in the end decides whether he want to give it to us or not.
4.Last night I watched the 44th President of US of A taking oath. My interest is in his speech to know whether the current financial crisis will be back to normal based on the steps he will be taken when taking office. Well BHO is not GOD, yes he now lead the most powerful country in the world, but his financial package is not guarantee a success but at least he will done something to correct the economy. One interesting part I noticed American people and during the ceremony are repeatedly saying that BHO is first African American President, and how a son from immigrant family can raise to high office. As far as I know BHO is not a son of an immigrant, his father is a university student that come to America and later on become professors (if I am not mistaken). Why they need to say he is African American?, if they are not racist just say another American. I think he is a good politician, he can really deliver good speech with confident, this is what the world need. Well I still hope the oil price will go up because of him.
5. This year I will write as much as I can about my work, politics, business, marine and my new experience. I want to share my thinking, knowledge and experiece in this blog.
2. In my area of work, the oil price is very sensitive whether my service is required or not. We have seen how the oil price changes and drop to its low level (hopefully already reach the lowest point- which no one knows) just within 3 months. This really effect me, we just buy a new boats and she is not working because of this situation. This situation really put me under pressure...anyway without such storm life will not be interesting!
3. This is also the time that I keep on saying to myself whatever mistake I have done in the past should not be used as an excuse of my current situation. I keep on saying to myself that believe in GOD! we work hard to get things as we wish but he is the one in the end decides whether he want to give it to us or not.
