Almost half a year gone...the rat race goes on

Life is a rush, with hardly moments to savour. When the earlier post was done in January, it was one done after 4 years being away. Now its been another 4 months plus since. The rat race goes on, still on a frantic pace.

When at one moment we felt as though 2012 went by just like that, suddenly part of 2013 itself is gone. The market has gone mad, in that it has transformed into a casino. If at one time last year I wrote to an economist that speculation is bad, now I am even more convinced the need to enhance regulation and to save humankind from the excessive greed of uncontrolled capitalism. While the authorities seem to say the property sector is not a key sector in this southern region, it is unfortunately the prime focus of much money.

The rest of the year is expected to be challenging. Very challenging. Demand is still very strong. Interest rates still low.

The kids are older now, in standard 6 and 5. Another phase of life. Another set of challenges as parents. I am very proud of them, of who they have turned out to be and what they are achieving in their lives.

Off to bed, an early drive to KL.

Now now now... whoa... its been like 4 years. It just crossed my mind, I had forgotten all about this blog. Its been a roller coaster ride since then. Its a brand new year. Hope its a good one; all signs show it should be a good one.
