知足常乐！

There was some construction project being carried on near my place last night. Guess what? They started to do it in night. The noisy machine started to bugging me since 10pm. And it still hasn't stopped by 12am when I went to bed. It was so noisy and it took me a hard time to fall to sleep in such noisy environment.

Was awaken by the noisy machine this morning. Must they work late in night and early in the morning? This really ruins one's sleep.

I was a little late this morning. But luckily that I was still able to reach office around 9am. I continued with my Project Money Back. That is a project about some money remittance way of Indonesian workers in Malaysia back to their home countries.

Well, many of them (for what I have seen in the survey forms) have been staying in Malaysia for several years, leaving their family at home country. But that is the only choice they have to earn some money and support their family. And their pay is so low. They do not have much entertainment in their life. It is quite sad to read that some of them have money sent back home through friends or relatives who are travelling back to Indonesia but were robbed on the journey.

I may not be as rich as Bill Gates (and I guess that is impossible) but when I see about their life, I feel that I should feel contented with what I have now.

Just like what sounds in a chinese proverb "you will feel happy always if you are contented with what you have" - 知足常乐！

I'm pretty happy as I finished all my work early and I can went home at 5.30pm. Well, another half an hour pay less then =p
