I am curious on how everyone manage your time. What tools you use?

Since long ago, starting from early secondary school, I’ve been managing my homework by writing them down on a small piece of paper and keep it in my pencil box. Whenever I finished a homework, i “cross” off the task by drawing a box around it and fill it with pen hatching. By the time I finished all my homework, the paper would be filled with ink~!

Later, I started using an organizer. It was very useful. I can track a lot of things in it, like birthdays, what to do, appointments…etc. Then i started to keep my notes and receipts in it until it is overloaded.

Not long after that, I ditch the organizer and started making my own organizer by cutting 2 Ring hard-cover file. It doesn’t look nice as I didn’t do any decoration on it but it is very functional.  Everything is customized according to my usage and lifestyle.

Then, I switched to digital organizer aka Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). I’ve been using it for about 3 years now and It’s still something new to me. The possibilities are endless. It can also be use as any other things, such as a media player, photo album, general reference device, alarm clock…etc. The only drawback so far is it need battery to run and it is fragile. That’s why you see me carrying mine in a big hard shell.

All the tools I used had their pro and cons. It all depends on what we need. What are the pro and cons? What type of organizing system I use? That, I’ll leave it to the next topic.

What are your tools of choice?

I’ve just heard the news of Ms Veronica Ho, Founder and Dean of The One Academy passed away last week. From my source, she passed away due to breast cancer. Rest in peace, Ms Veronica Ho.

Last month, 1 of my secondary school ex-classmates also passed away, due to heart attack. His passing shock even his family members and friends. He is healthy when the attack occurred.

I did not expect to hear these news but this is the reality. Things happen unexpectedly. Things turned ugly.
It is also served as a reminder for me to live life at its fullest, each and everyday.

To my friends who are still alive. I hope you have a good life.

To myself, remember, you are only a human.

Thanks for reading. Stay alive, stay healthy.

2008 will be gone today,
all together 365 days,
we cherished them in every way,
and today is the very last day.

2008 will become the past,
what we have now will never last,
2009 we welcome and cheer,
but the future is always never clear.

Be prepared and be strong,
so we all can live very long.
Eat well, sleep tight and exercise,
so our mind will always be precise.

Do a favor and be a savior,
you may be a life saver.
Clear your debt and rid your crap,
you may be in a serious trap.

By now I hope you will know,
with everything that I have shown,
you are a godsend,
you are my friend til the very end.

I wish you well,
away from hell.
Happy 2009~!
We’ll meet again at cloud9~!

Best wishes to everyone from mok|matsuru.net

(Originally composed on my phone as sms wishes to everyone on 31st December 2008)

Christmas is here!
The sky is so bright and clear.
The only thing that is not here,
is the one I felt so dear.

I wish to Santa, I hope he hears,
that he would send me all his deers.
With the speed of a flying spear,
with lots of love and with no fear,
Please bring my wishes and blessing to the one I felt so dear.

For this Christmas is special,
And it’s the only one in this year.
For you are the one dear,
that made my eyes grows tears.

Thank you my dear!
Please rest assurred.
This Christmas is special,
because you send your wishes here.

Merry Christmas my dear!

I am on my way back to Penang. Driving for 1 hour plus and finally reach Bidor rest point.

To my surprise I found out that a lot of people are traveling as well, maybe due to Deepavali holiday on the coming Monday which make the weekends 1 day longer.

The reason for me to travel to Penang despite the fact that i only have a short 3 days holiday is that I have a high school reunion gathering tonight at E&O hotel (which frankly I don’t know where it is) we from Chung Ling high school graduates of class of 1996 had our 1st reunion finally after 12 years of graduation. So, I just have the urge to attend no matter how long my holiday is or how economical it is not to travel with my car and spending RM150+- for a to and back trip to Penang.

Maybe because I miss my friends, maybe because I am curious on how they have changed through time, maybe I want to see how everyone’s life has become. I am just eager to arrive at the scene.
1 thing I am regret not able to do before today is to design my own name card, to be distributed to all my friends. I`ll just have to use whatever I can find to pass them my contact info. Luckily I have my own website I can give them which contains all my current contacts and happenings in my life. They can read and understand me through the articles such as this one.

Btw, while I am sitting here at Dunkin Donut, sipping my hot coffee and wiping out my bluetooth keyboard to write this article, I stumble upon 2 of my reunion friends who are on their way back for the same occasion. The world sure is small, isn`t it?

Lastly, I think my weekend is going to be a great one. And I am going to enjoy every bit of it. Until I see you again when I get back to Kuala Lumpur, I wish you too had a great weekend.

Cheers!
