Update

Yesterday was bit of an intense moment for me. My brother is starting a degree, quitting his 12 year job at HSBC and while working for my startup. It's a very intense moment because I feel like I am tkaign a huge risk of financing him paying $200/month. I have also come to a point of realization where I know what works for him. He works best under pressure. I have to always remind him. If I let him be on his own, he is going idle and heading into destruction. The ideal method recommended by Americans does not work for my brother. But I am at the same time very proud of him. He is up at 7 am heading into driving lessons. He passed his driving exam (not the trial), he passed his aptitude test. Now these are two wins. What he does best are exams. He can work at HSBC for another 10 years more and it won't change a thing. I am excited to see him graduating from SLIIT. It's a 4 year damn degree and he will be 41 when he graduates. At least he will have a 6 figure salary by then and will be a different /mature person. That's teh thing about the university- It opens into a whole different network of people, the top tier or at least the middle tier, never the lower tier. The people you study with end up becoming CTOs, CEOs etc. Most people I studied with have achieved great heights. I am very happy that I attended the university rather than working at a company while doing a professional cert. university is a very different place - You grow as a person, you learn to work with people, you become a very rational person, intellectual and you rise above everyone else in terms of the outlook, thinking etc. I didn't know any of it back then. I just wanted to survive. I chose the university. I hope my brother gets involved in extracurricular activities and enjoy campus while studying. And he needs ot keep his EPF on a fixed deposit. I just want to help him at least till the second year. When you are in second year, you are mostly oriented with the university. a bit more solid. Easier to find a part time job. Yesterday I mailed Steve's mum her gifts. Hopefully she will receive them. I want to be more grateful towards people.

Update

I am feelilng EXTREMELY tired and fed up. It's like studying working 24/7. Very tired. Mostly mentally. Have a lot to do and I keep thinking of things I have to do all day long.It's important to understand that I am human and going on at a stretch working 80 hours a week is too much. It resultsi n fatigue. As of now, I am starting to get sick of the work I am doing. I wan tto go a day without having to think about work. Basically need a break.What if I take today evening off? My plan was to wake up at 4 and study but I couldn't. When I woke up it was 5:30. I went back to sleep because I felt I have hardly slept all night. It could be the coffee. Definitely an evening workout could help. I had plans of doing Sunday yoga which I love very much but got extremely tired and gave up on that yesterday. I wake up tired. It should be to do with my evening ritual, lack of exercise, and doing things that make me grumpy. I have a court hearing coming up, then a speech, then this awar...

Trust your gut

Trust your gut. Facts are Yabing got through. Of course she has the power and all that. Fact is I overshared. A part of me says just give time. Truth will come out. I feel weak at this time. I am also very drained. I need to somehow switch teams. I feel useless. It's even awkward speaking to Anuj knowing he spoke against me during the investigation. you see, the whole investigation thing was a bad move. I have no energy to fight. But I need to keep going. The more I go public, the more I am subject to attack. So it's safer to stay low key and do the work.

Morning

Don't get too comfortable with a boss who doesn't want you in the workplace merely becasue you are tiny or young. So I have to create less dependency. Too much visibility is not good. It can prompt Yabing to talk negative regarding me just out of job security. She is protected by Mario. So have to play safe.
