invest!!!

its 7 minutes to 2am.. but still i couldnt sleep... even after 2 20++hrs working in 2 days.. yeah 20++hrs!!! thats me.. i usually work log hours on weekend.. while others spend their free times for fun.. its tiring for sure... it wuz hard 4 me even to walk to n from the train station on the way back.. my feet hurts after i did all the works... that is the bad side.. the right side.. which i like.. i earned almost rm1k... yupp!! one thousand ringgit malaysia in just two days.. two days of hard works n i could earn half a month of fresh grad salary in malaysia... the work is hard.. but i enjoy working.. working beside my friends... en. firad dan tidak ketinggalan ketua syarikat.. well.. most of the time... sure we had conflicts sometimes.. but the good times i had surpasses the bad times...

instead of using the word sacrifice.. i like to use the word invest!! i invested 20++ hrs working... 6 hrs of transit time... my skills n my energy... n the return is very impressing... instead of that 1k i got for working.. i enjoyed being with my frens eventhough i hv to work my ass off almost every single minutes to keep up with the demands... i met some interesting customers.. (there were bad customers too... but we just make fun of them after they leave.. =p) i learn something new every time i go to work... not just getting faster n faster every time.. i could now prepare a shop/stall.. projecting sales... know almost every single step in making something that is so simple to be a sell out product... en. panjang aka firad siap buat lawak lagi lps ari ni aku xkan dikire sebagai part timers.. tp as a company employee.. something that i could be proud of..

in here.. part timers.. esp the one who get a job through part time agencies.. are meant to do simple things.. things that helps to keep a company running.. something that even a 10 year old kid could do.. in my case.. after almost 4 years working at kebab istanbul(formerly known as doner time).. i dont just do the simple works.. but i could take part in making decisions.. they still watching me under the microscope for the difficult parts.. but leaving me in charge of the shop when they are too tired or need to do something else.. is a big complement..

wopps.. that is a veryyyy long introduction.. hehehe... mmg aku ni tak blh nak membebel pendek2.. should change this(note to myself)... the main thing is.. wut this post is all about.. almost all of us the word invest only with MONEY... that is just not true.. yupp.. investing money is very important.. not for me n others... keep in mind that living paycheck to paycheck(for those who doesnt understand.. hidup makan gaji...dengan lain kata... awal bulan gaji masuk belanja abes2.. bile ujung bulan kalau blh nk berkhemah dpn mesin atm tunggu duit gaji masuk sbb gaji bln sebelumnya dah abes)in this globalisation era is not something we could afford anymore.. wut i mean is... for the past few decades.. malaysia is a very stable country... whenever bad things happened to the world economy... it affected malaysia very little.. next to nothing.. some people could not even realised it happened..

y?!! y did this happened?!! and wuts changing? jom kita guna perumpamaan katak di bawah kaca..(katak bawah tempurung dah tak tepat dah..).. huhuhu.. we could see everything outside of our world(malaysia in this case..).. but when its raining(something bad happen) we wont get wet.. all this time.. our government has protect us from the bad things outside of malaysia.. giving us a security blanket so that we could feel safe... all this years.. since we got our independence..

but guess wut.. one day we'll hv to grow up... n leave the security blanket behind.. the day that we finally understand that the security blanket that make us feel safe all this years is just a blanket.. it could keep u warm when its cold... but there is no such thing as super blanket in this world...

for those who keeps an update of wut happening in this world...(instead of football n celebrity gossip).. to date... almost 1.2millions of americans lost jobs this year... half of them lost theirs in the last 3 months... the big threes(Ford, GM and Chrysler) will go bankrupt in less then a year... top investment firms n banks hv to ask for government aid to keep afloat.. US government has a deficit of 8000 billions...(will reach 1 trillion someday... just a matter of time.. they spent their money eventhough they dont hv it on wars... the economic downturn make they need to spend more just to save those companies.. eventhough the reality is they dont hv the money...)

if america sneeze.. the world will get cold(borrowed... credit to the blogger.. u know who u are..).. ape maksudnye... like it or not.. US mmg kuasa besar dunia dlm ekonomi.. wut ever happen to US.. will affect another countries around the world.. directly or indirectly... we might not suffer as much as americans do in this economic downturn.. but.. we will...

kesimpulannya di sini ialah.. no matter how stable is ur job... or how good is ur financial security.. put aside a part of the money u earn for investments.. even it means u spend a little less than wut ur earning says... u never know wut will happen tomorrow.. u might get hit n die in an accident.. (patah dua tiga tulang ke).. u might get sick.. u might get rob when u just withdraw ur money or on ur way to buy a big screen tv.. every small percentage of ur hard-earned money invested.. u will get another extra add-ons feature on ur financial security.. stop paying ur credit card company ridiculuos interest rate.. n start living by ur means... we hv so many choices on where to put our money.. REIT, trust fund, fixed deposit accounts, stocks, FOREX etc.. i know every investment come with a risk.. just remember one simple rule in investing.. low risk.. low return.. high risk.. high return... get to know ur risk tolerance... n be patience while waiting ur money tree grow up n bear the money fruits.. huhuhu..

opss.. enuff the talk with money... as i said earlier.. wpon investment ni sentiasa dikaitkan dgn duit... but spend some of ur time to think outside of the box...

1. knowledge investments
nowadays tuition fees in college are very high.. not only that.. the competition get higher and higher everyday.. invest ur time to learn n study... invest ur money for text n reference books.. invest ur night sleep for mid n final term exams.. owhh.. assignments too.. no matter how the methods u choose.. u'll earn the bonus n interest of ur investment in a few years..

2.goodwill investment
hv u ever feel u r in a deep problem but u dont know who u could turn to? if u do.. ask urself.. wut deeds hv i done for other people to help me solve my problems? did i help them when they had one? do i hv someone that i could call my good fren or my bestfren that hv been n will be beside me through all thick n thin? am i good enough to others that i could expect they will be good to me? when wuz the last time i offer any help to someone? huhhu.. these r just some of my checklists... there r a lot more.. just cant get it all out at this hour..

in a nutshell.. be good n be sincere in wut u do.. there r many good people oround the world who will reply ur goodwill accordingly.. just dont be TOO NICE.. buat baik berpada-pada, buat jahat jgn sekali.. just simply means.. never do that will make people hate u, yet dont be TOO nice.. there are some people who doesnt deserve ur goodwill and/or thankful for ur kindness.. if u meet that kind of person.. dont be cruel.. just stop being nice... =p

its 337 am.. the list could go on and on and on.. but i7m soooo tired n kinda hv a mental block rite now... will update this post or write a sequence of this post later... nitey nite...
