Today's 7.7.2022 was manic indeed

The universe showed me how wonderful being busy was on a special day

Where are all the young people to boost the workforce in Malaysia?

I suppose most are preferring to toil in the gig economy.

Everyone prefers to be their own boss it seems... no more SOPs or KPIs to adhere to.

For me at 52, I am just grateful to be employed after the end of my businesses due to the pandemic and a changed (or dead?!) world in the media, publishing, advertising and communications industry.

When you're given a lifeline, you have to make the most of it.

No matter how difficult, or ridiculously tiring it is.

Today was no exception.

Paperwork submission, monitoring of sales and SOCMED platforms, dealing with customer DEMANDS, crisis management, plus receiving visitors was part (or not!) of today's agenda.

And there is still an outstanding backlog of work to clear.

Managing people and ensuring that the company makes profit is not exactly a dream job at my age, but I can safely say this... I love every part of the challenge!

I rather work in an industry I know rather than take on an animal I am not familiar with.

But heck, nothing is permanent in life, embrace changes in your life!

I know the golf population is small.

I know spending habits have changed.

I know the pandemic has affected human behaviour.

But the wheels will continue to turn.

However, the inflation and recession, plus the war in Ukraine is not making things any better in Malaysia, or for the rest of the world.

I can only pray that people are free from suffering.

Thank you for reading and stay safe beautiful people.

Patrick Ho has been part of the Malaysian golf industry since year 2000. It is a miracle that he is back!

What Matters Most Is Inside You

Somehow, humans are a bunch of sensitive, overreacting bunch!!! Observing the way things have been going, it is obvious that the world, and in particular, the human species will never change. Our lives are filled with the trails and tribulations of evolution and co-existence. Wars... they are inevitable and have always been existent even before billions of us were born. With the good, comes evil. IS ANYONE GOING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Never mind that... Just look into the mirror and ask yourself whether you have felt anguish and hatred towards another human being? Have you gotten so angry before that you felt like strangling an irritating, back-stabbing colleague? Yes..., you have right? It is okay that you have had such feelings as we all have faced our fair share of bad and evil people in our lives. Do we just sit in silence or do we do something about it? When I was younger, I would have chosen the latter cause of action. Nowadays, I am trying my best to ...

GRATEFUL FOR 2024

From me to yours... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Another Eventful Year on Earth Checked. Have we been naughty or nice?! Wow... what an experience the Universe presented me in 2024. The year started quietly with much uncertainty as a consultant. Truly, my year kick-started in February when I was appointed the Media Officer of the IRS Prima Malaysian Open 2024 at The Mines Resort & Golf Club. I was so happy to work with the international team of professionals from Fairway Inspire Sdn Bhd and the Asian Tour. It was a time to reunite with guardian angels from the past and to connect with new friends. You guys will always remain close to my heart and etched in my positive memory vault. This year, I travelled to many golf courses telling the Smartscore scoring and management solutions story (Still peddling the stories!). Fortunately or unfortunately, realised that the golf club management scene has not changed much from the 2000s'. The majority of clubs nationwide are stil...

SEEK BALANCE THROUGH AWARENESS

What we know, or don't, was meant to be. Through observation and understanding, your mental and physical state will stay healthy and happy. I always find it fascinating hearing conversations. Whether it is a group of retirees at a kopitiam or the youngsters at cafes. Not that I am a serial eavesdropper, but these are loud groups that share information on topics regarding politics, love and life in general. Typical Malaysian mah..., "you don't know meh?", is the usual 'I knew the story before you' trait! Of course, many receive their information from the web and social media platforms that are mostly fake news (Many will argue that they are true!). Some debates seem like arguments at times, while there have been occasions when friendships end due to differences of opinion. Aren't we humans a special bunch?! Most often than not, and subconsciously, we speak without realizing the truth or knowing the facts of a case or subject matter. It is perfectly norm...
