JL - A MEMORY TO REMEMBER as a DREAM CHASER Birthday Presents π for myself... 2014. ANOTHER 10 PROPERTIES bought for myself. A snapshop taken during the S&P signing session with the lawyers in my office. It will be my 31st birthday by the weekend. Whenever my birthday is around the corner, can u guess how my feeling is? I am sure everyone will be feeling happy, anxious to wait for the day for celebrations. But i feel totally the other way round. I feel sour, dissapointed and sentimentally emotional, infact abit miserable. It all started from my childhood.... A memory i had that was unforgetable. The only last birthday celebration that i could remember during my childhood was at the age of 5 years old. And that was the LAST birthday celebration that i had for my childhood. I remembered so clearly that whenever i used to attend classmates or friends birthday party when we were young, everyone looks so happy partying with presents and gifts especially the birthday kid. While i stand by the corner hiding my feelings that i can only envy and admire. Everytime there is someone throwing a birthday bash party, there will be full of presents and laughter while i dont feel a thing. Feelingless and Emotionless. Lol.. I never recieve presents during my whole childhood and school times, because there were no birthday celebrations for me. i am used to lived with a life without expecting anything from others so i have to obtain every single thing by my own capability. A teaching of βηδ»·δΊ€ζ’β in english EQUAIVALENT EXCHANGE. That is why i felt so awkward whenever people give me things like, CNYear hamper, Mooncakes, chocolates, or gifts, etc... Even i dont feel good when people pay my bills, because i am used to pay round up bills for the table almost everytime. People who are always around me knows my style. Everymonth i spent 5 figures just by paying bills for myself together with others. It has became a habit for me today. Even when i paid for the bills, i would still say thank you for being able to have a meal or drinks together with me. The environment of survival trained me to be as strong as i can just to survive and catch up with the surrounding changes in life. My father was a responsible, hardworking, humble and conservative businessman that he has to work so hard to support the family to pay for all our living expenses at the same time giving me a better education environment. But he never realises that when he put his son into a private school, his son is actually studying together with all other RICH KIDS that are mostly pampered or spoilt. I remembered so clearly when i was in primary school, my mum only gave me RM0.50 and i kept the 50cents in a zip pouch that my mum tailor made for me sewn with some leftover batik cloth. And the mini zip pouch has a short metal chain like cuff which is clip onto my schoolpants belt ring. To safeguard people from stealing my pouch or incase i drop it. With 50cents, i can only buy 2 pieces of Kuih with 30cents and the multicolour Ice-cream tube 20cents in the transparent plastic tube that we have to bite on the tip and twist the ice tube to break open it and start sucking the frozen juice... Hahaha... Classic!. Sometimes when my mum is in good mood she will give me 1 ringgit so that i can have an extra 50cents to buy Nasi lemak. Yummy..!! When i start entering highschool, things changed. We start to think like a teenager and it was the most rebellious age in ones life. I see my classmates or schoolmates getting all the cool stuff from their parents. New bags, walkman, Cd players, mini compo, rollerblades, New Nike Airmax, Airjordan, sportshoes, computers, video games, and then Mobile phone the Ericsson 337,388, 768, Motorola flipphone, Startac, Nokia Banana, nokia 5310, etc etc... All these are vintage by today. U know, studying in private school we have recess time to have breakfast, and a simple meal will cost RM1.50 for curry mee, Milo ais RM1.00, Kuih 50cents, and so on. Well, atleast my pocket allowance got promoted from junior to highschool to RM2.00/day. Cool.. Just enough to feed my tummy for breakfast. But then when i see all other kids always getting to own different different cool stuff, i also wana own it. So how.??? Go out there to work part time during the weekend lah. I remembered so CLEARLY, my FIRST JOB in my life was at the age of 14 in form 2. At that time Indomee just launched not long ago and i went to interview as a part time to work as a promoter boy for Indomee at Damansara Uptown FAJAR Supermarket. Anybody remember the FAJAR? I have to stand in the supermarket from 8:30am - 6pm with only 1hr break. Nonstop cooking Indomee goreng and seperate them into miniature paper cups to allow shoppers free testing.. 1st job in my life! And i was paid RM35/day. Wooo....... Eventually by working for another few more months, i get to save RM300 and then i figured out a plot that i proposed to my mum. I thought of a strategy with the right excuse hence i proposed to my mum. Starting with, hey mum, do u realise the technology of this world is changing so fast and its getting more and more advance? We are entering Y2k that everything in life today is automatic and electronic. Internet with Windows 95 gives allow us to connect to the wholeworld. But i cant carry a computer everywhere i go. You see, nowadays there is also this device call Handphone that people can easily communicate at anytime.......... I havent finish my introduction, my mum straight away responded NO!!!!! I know u want a phone and the answer is NO!!!! In my heart i was like what the...... I havent even finish executing my plot, she alredy disclosed my intention. Hahaha... Then i talked to her and bug her for few times and i said i saved a RM300 alredy, and i surveyed that the current most affordable coolest phone Nokia 5310 was RM600. I ask her if she could sponsor me half so that i can also own a phone. I told her almost 70% of all my classmates have phones in school, but that was a lie. Infact only my COOL GANG group of friends only have phones. The NERDS dont need phones.. Coz they dont date girls and dont go lepak after school. We are the young and dangerous in schooltimes. Hahaha.. Eventualy i successfully got my first phone with a STRATEGY & a PLOT..!!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Well, throughout my life, i am used to not given things or recieve presents from others so when people wanted to give me things i will always feel awkward. It is always getting something i want for myself. That is why i always come up with a PLOTS & STRATEGIES whenever i want something. LOL. Just gotta use my brain, rather than just asking for something. Childhood ended. Now we grown up and we are part of the society, we have to face the fact that NOBODY WILL EVER GIVE US THINGS JUST LIKE THAT. I always tell myself There are NO free lunch in this world. Everything has to be pursue by ourself. Ever since young, i have dreams, and i live with dreams. Since i am not given all these while, i have NO rights to ask for anything, i have only rights to decide how i want my life to be. That is, Its either to be Ordinary or ExtraOrdinary. Since i dont live an ordinary life... I keep telling myself In order to be extra-ordinary, i just have to do the ordinary things EXTRA-ORDINARILY. Today, I see Property Investment and this industry as a whole as of just a GAME for the sake of my passion. And if i look at it and perceive the way how the ordinary look at it, i will live my life ordinarily. However if i look at it with the perception as how the Top Billionaires look at it? Thats what i wana be. Nothing is impossible, for me everything is possible, and it is just a matter of time! Infact I actually walked the same pathway as an ordinary investor starting from the number ZERO to ONE and then...... Keep adding and accumulating! Today, the ordinary buys 1 or 2, i go for 10 or 20. Then 100 or 200. When a person reach a certain stages in life, money no longer holds value anymore and it is not anymore important in life, instead of KEEP WINNING THE GAME and proceed to the next level. The next level goes on. To be continue....... NEXT MISSION ::: BUY in Bulk? No... BUY IN BLOCK JLβ’
