Fresh air

hmmm ... fresh air!!!

After been away from this blog for a while, I finally come to conclusion: it is fresh air that I am breathing every day, every single day

Some not-so-good-news is: I have to postponed my further study in CCIE after I pass my written. However, I will still attempt my written anytime soon.

What had happened? Due to some financial commitment that I might have wrote before, I am dedicating most of financial income that I have for gaining some financial portfolio for a bank to request for a home loan.

Did I say 'home loan'??? Yes, loud and clear: home loan.

Some of you might think: come on man, if you pass your CCIE you will be able to do more than a home loan that you need. It is true, but face the fact: currently I am renting a -so called- 'home'. It is a nice place, but ... a lot of things can't be done for long run. i.e.: CCIE home lab (not enough space *sigh*), home business, proper space allocation at home, and ... ehm ehm ... if the baby is coming later few years down the road.

Well, the 'baby' factor is taken out for several years to come. Business factor is partially reduced for some activities (again, another space problem *sigh*), and CCIE lab *MUST* wait until there is enough space to cater for all equipments (and noise).

After discussing with my wife, we have decided: I take my CCIE written but only do the lab preparation after we got our own home. Besides, in my work place, there is a lab that I can use for simple practice, at least at the early stage where full contact with lab is not needed yet.

As for the business activity, we will keep it low profile for the time being. It is not that we are heading into trouble, but we are not ready if the commitment increased in the short period if we put all the business ideas into the market.

So ... a good and enjoyable study time to come and daily life full of hard work with excitement!!!
