I have been working mostly in my make shift office recently . Typing , typing , typing , meeting people , performing shows and typing again . -_- . Thinking about it , I should have taken up a writing course instead of an engineering degree . It would have been much more beneficial in these circumstances .

Don't get me wrong though . I love what I'm doing right now . It's exiting and I get to meet so many talented people . I always believe that in order to be successful , you've got to surround yourself with people that have already made it to where you want to go . Sometimes , it's not what you know , but WHO you know .

Most of the people I meet these days and have had the pleasure to actually have a real conversation with , are millionaires in their early 30s . Amazing . I'm still thinking of smart ways to make my 1st million and currently , based on my current bank statement , I think I'm on the right track . It's motivating and at the same time depressing though , seeing these young guns living your dream life . It pushes me to think out of the box and take bigger risks in order to get what I want .

When I was in the Philippines last year , my dear God Brother JP , who is the CEO of one of the biggest construction company there and a honorary graduate of MIT told me :

`Work smart , and party hard '

I never actually understood the phrase as I wasn't into `partying' that much . I think I'm now slowly grasping the idea ........ besides , I like meeting new people and I actually network when I party . Ask my friends , I actually secure big shows at the clubs .






It's 5am and I'm still working on my script . Looks like I'm going to party hard again later on .
