Reflection for the weekend

Perfect job

What is a perfect job? Some say it's one that pays you well, another thinks that it should be a minimum stress and reasonable pay job. Yet to some, being relatively free and able to knock off on time constitutes a perfect job. Or maybe a flexi-hour job? Can there ever be a perfect job?

Recently, someone whom has been in the real estate industry for years lamented that this is a tough industry and discouraged people from joining it. Burnt weekends is one of the key disadvantages of his job. Sometimes, he has to bring his customers for several viewings before a deal is made. And there are times when his efforts are futile despite countless viewings.

On hearing that, I thought 'but he makes a lot in one deal, so it is still worth the sacrifice and hard work'. However, to him who is in the boat, he might think otherwise. Then, I had a revelation. It doesn't matter if the job pays you well or if it burns your weekends. As long as you enjoy the process, it will be your perfect job. To one who loves interacting with people and enjoys the process of influencing or convincing people, they wouldn't have been so bothered by the burnt weekends or countless viewings. But to another one who's just eyeing on the monetary reward, every rejection just brings him one step away from his goal.

Are you having your perfect job? If not, what then would your perfect job be?

Thai delicacies

You may have remember that I was stranded in Bangkok last year while on route back to Singapore from Israel. Eventually, we (I was travelling with a group) managed to get out of Bangkok by taking a 12hr coach ride to Phuket then caught a flight from there. That coach ride through the night was most tiring and we hardly slept.

During one of the toilet breaks we had, I came across this stall that was selling uh.... 'cow spare parts'. We were all sleepy and tired but the signboard at the stall gave us a good laugh and something memorable of that journey.

Check out the pictures below. Oh, don't blame me if you lose your appetite ;)

A date with rainbow

Last evening's rain may have inconvenienced some office workers as they make their way home. But for me, it has brought a smile to my heart. From my living room window, I got a magnificient view of God's creation - rainbow. Since I shifted here some 8 years ago, I've seen rainbows a few times. But the one I saw last evening was one of the biggest and probably lasted the longest. Somehow, seeing rainbow just makes me happy. Hope it does the same for you today :)

The video was taken through my tinted window pane hence it appears a bit dark.
