Paul's Fulfilling Life

I was at King’s Centre just now to pass something to my friend as she had asked me to help her to purchase online some stuffs some time back on her behalf. I was quite shocked by the attitude of the security guard as he was chasing me and another gentleman around my age out of the building. The gentleman was reacted angrily after being chased out of the building that he shouted that the security guard was crazy and the security guard told him off saying “God is great”. Not wanting to be part of the topic of the heated argument, I decided to walk out of the building and waited for my friend outside the building. I feel a little uneasy when I saw this incident happening. This was going through my mind as it happened.

I certainly hope that the coming Year of The Horse will be a good year ahead. =)

Some colleagues decided to take advantage of the situation and stir up more “office politics” knowing that I am favoured by my bosses, and tried to put me in a bad light. Fortunately, my bonus was not affected by all this play acting, but it did have an impact on my confidence and make me realise that I should start to plan more for myself. Fortunately, I still insist upo...
