My Job is NOT my Life

That's what I hope reality of it would be. But its not. Why? Because I spent do many hours working. Normal work hours plus the many many hours of night conference calls. 
People ask, why not just leave the job and find something better.
I wish I could but I need the money.  And if some people hear you say that, they will obvious say, well you have a choice, you just choose not to take up that choice.
I always find its easy for someone just provide that lip service, when I am the one who needs to live with the consequences, if i were to take that leap.

I do not have children of my own but I do support my orphan niece and nephew thru college.  Its tough. 

i dont know what i am going to do but i just have to hang in there for another 4 years while the youngest finishes college.

But i would need to start planning how I am going to live my retirement later on in life as i have no children to depend on.

Life.... the never ending obstacles....

Whoa... Jan 2018 already

Looks like I have been neglecting this blog.
Since 2018 is a good number for the chinese, probably I should start blogging again. Unfortunately, the blogger app on Iphone no wonder works on IOS 7.  :(

Leaving you with a picture from my latest travel trip to AMS-PARIS-Lourdes.  This is Delft in the Netherlands.
