Random

My thoughts is totally in chaos now. Its so disorganized that I don't even know why I'm blogging now.

Went out yesterday evening to have drinks with some friends who is actually my clients as well. I seem to lost touch with many of my old group of friends with except of a few people. This got me thinking, as we age, we tend to mix with different people in character. There is many things out there which I still have not experienced yet. Perhaps one day, I will and I will learn.

Goodness...

Its been a long while I last posted on my own blog. Things have change and time has change.

I've sold my Wira and now driving another Wira. Yeah, kinda weird isn't it? But its a 1.6cc compared to my old one a 1.5cc .. and yeah, it is still weird.. anyway, cut things short, my younger brother wanted to get a new car and I told him to sell mine and I'll take his. Besides, his car is worth lesser than mine and I don't want to see my younger brother need to fork out more for the down payment, so yeah, I told him go ahead to sell mine and I'll take his old car (which is older than mine by 2 years).

I used to think that driving a big or nice car is important and for my lifestyle. But nowadays, I don't anymore. I'm on my own and no longer taking a salary from 'just another company', I gotta be more organized in thoughts and also developing the business further to ensure the survival of the company. That's why I said times have change and things have change for me. To me now, my priorities is to acquire assets for the business and to develop into the direction I have in mind.

Alot of things that came into my mind lately, and sometimes I'm so tired of thinking about it and trying to solve it. But not all problems can be solved at the current moment. It requires the perfect timing and the right people to do it. Some of my pals have asked me to join in a business venture with them, starting capital is roughly 130k per  partner per annum which is roughly for a 3 director share in the new outfit. Of course, this venture after reviewing the pros and cons, I can see good ROI's in the next 1-2 years after launch. But my biggest problem is capital. I am already in a capital limbo to expand my current business, how the heck can I churn out additional 130k per annum to participate as a partner in the new business? I never believe in taking a full loan or overdraft facilities from bankers as its meaningless cuz your profits will be eaten up by these legal loansharks.

At the same time, I cannot split my current capex budget for the new business either cuz it will put a huge dent on my blueprint for my current business.

See what I mean by 'tired of thinking' ?

Ok, I gotta go out again tonight (I went out last night and drank like a fish already) to see my client become friend. I slowed down alot on drinking and nightly outings but sometimes we cannot help it. To achieve my dreams and aspirations, I need the right people to bring me the right networks. Everyone is a friend to me and this might sound cruel but its a fact, everyone needs something from everyone. What I need is networks of friends from various industries.

Have a great weekend folks!
