can I pretend that airplanes are shooting stars?

it has been a challenging career. just the other day i was in Penang, Intel Worksite Mktg. we had a booth about Will Writing. i seriously didn't know estate planning is so important, imagine the horror when you have a freak accident, died, and all your assets and properties got freezed? oh... the tragedy.

hearing stories about death claims, people with brain tumour, and most recently a lecturer with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and how they have benefited from insurance, it gives me so much pride being in this industry.

the industry's a classic case of not knowing the pain when you are not in the shoes, walking on that road.

very few people focus on the protection, people often sell savings plan. you know why? savings plan is hassle free (or so they claim.. simple, agents do not service the client, push them to deal with the company. which is not correct, btw), hits the production goals faster, and the agent gets to go for overseas trips, with just a few big fishes. people don't talk in the 'coverage and protection' language. they sell in terms of 'give me your money, i help you make more money'. this reality makes my job so much tougher. BUT i will survive! you need to hear me loud and clear on this. i will survive.

in the real world, shoes are not tailor-made

i am the architect of my own life blocks, the writer of my own success story. the maker of the ink, the guide of the pen. i am the narrator, the lead actress, both the subject and the object. i am the very whole story. it's just chapter 1.

cliché is when..

me : abt 4 or 5 years ago

me : most recent

nothing much changed, my eyebags are still there, my hair is still long, i still have a nice smile.

but the amount of thoughts, the experiences, the voices, the lessons, the tears, the pride, the laughters, the burden, the realisation, the shock and anger, the growth.. the oxymoron.

cliché is when i say i will never have it happen differently

and so Karen realises that she has a certain professional image to retain, and a certain degree of good behaviour to nurture and to maintain.

and so, a line she goes to draw

broken and crooked lines, soft, not solid. a line nevertheless

goodbye to sexy-publicly-cyber-thoughts? i will think abt it

apparently snails are confused creatures

karen wants a beer

just one will do, for now . . .

i have not gotten the time to update everyone and anyone on my life changing experience

tough life i am choosing, but the harder it is to plant a seed, the bigger the fruits, no?

alternatively, liquor is not such a bad idea. jeeeez, whatever happens to males around?
