It's like 8.45pm, on a Saturday night. Yes, I am indeed sitting at home. In my room with my three adorabubblelicious monkeys - Fatty and Ally are double-teaming Perry as I write this. =) Why am I home today? My friends are somehow everywhere, or rather busy. And I dont feel like heading out too far as well. Some in Singapore, some at Sepang, some as far as Rawang and so on, some just plain busy. Anyways, a colleague asked me today - what is the purpose of life? I thought for quite awhile today, and then I figured... maybe I could write something. Lets hope I dont run off topic ok.
If you asked me what is my purpose of life.... to be frank, I really dont know.
A normal person would probably spend 20% of his life studying, another 70% of his time working, and the remaining 10%... post retirement. If you look at this breakdown, I would think that since we spend most of our life working, it is best that we enjoy what we work, and enjoy what we do.

Lets see... what do I enjoy doing?
I love construction.When I was young, I loved my LEGO toys. I love seeing buildings and architecture - and I enjoy drawing. I still do right now, and I am just quite surprised that I didnt study architecture and instead went into engineering. Architecture or engineering - at the end of the day, I am involved in construction... and I guess, this is indeed my passion and thankfully, this is what I do.
I enjoy blogging.The next thing I enjoy doing is... writing. In this case, I have picked up blogging as my next passion. Mind you - blogging as a passion can be quite stressful. I strive to blog well so that my readers come back, and I strive to blog as much as I could so that I get more readers. I have managed to grow my blog traffic from a mere 40-50 per day a year ago, to a good 4,000+ per day right now, which I am actually proud of. =)
Gadgets, cars and doggie time.What else do I enjoy? I enjoy speeding, I enjoy eating, spending time with my doggies, gadgets, games and so on. Ultimately, the answer to that is simple - I enjoy doing things that require money. =) I am glad that my day job pays me enough, and my side passion as a blogger also rewards me - with new friends, new places to eat, advertorials and so on.
SO... back to the question, what is indeed the purpose of life?

If you read the few paragraphs I have above, seems like the one word that I used the most is ENJOY. Yes, enjoy is the word. I enjoy enjoying myself, and ultimately, that sorts of makes up my answer to that million dollar question.

I live to enjoy. I love to enjoy myself. To have the kind of enjoyment, I need the time and money for it - hence I work hard in my job, so that I can earn better to have a better enjoyment.
It is indeed... a chicken and egg situation, isnt it?
