Hai guys, here is a brief of my life throughout the past 6 years. My decision makings are related to lowyat forum feedbacks with the threads related intact.
I`ll be 27 this year.
the flow is as following

1. Making a decision after graduate from diploma (part time vs fulltime studies)
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1319356/all

Decision made: Took a fulltime-job + part time studies
result:
- Studies under full scholarship with study benefits (exp. study leave, exam leave)
- 5 years working experience
- Still working with the same company till date
- Will graduate with degree in 2016
- debt free
- Happily married for 3 years


2. Along the way dilemma
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3009040/all
Decision made: Stayed in the same company till date
result:
- Same as above
- No sent to training/certs
- a key player in the projects, even though i only have a diploma.
- overall happy with the decision made
- the industry i`m in seems bright so far (UAV, drones, aviation)


3. Upgrading myself
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2470748/all
Decision made: Stayed in the same company till date
result:
- Given the chance to do some programming project and succeeded (I`m electrical base fyi). therefore increase knowledge in programming
- I still dont have any proper/competent certification that makes me feel abit secure about myself in the future (my brother has 20+ certs in less than 2 years from his company)
- Still dont know where to search for trainings? anyone could help?


TODAY
Here is my current status as of date
- No debt
- Married + expected child
- 5 years working experience
- expected graduate 2017 under full scholarship
- No certs or training throughout working here
- key player in project
- I like my working environment


Right now I have a sense of nothingness or no motivation and I don`t know why.
Please advise

Sometimes I wonder, is this what I want in life

I don`t own a house, I`m still renting

I`m the type of person who don`t spend much, and the type that DIY alot. it`s a passion of mine.
and I plan my expenses well, that`s what make me debt free till date. I live within my means.

i`m staying in KL, work in KL with my diploma and doing part time studies for my degree. my classes are on sat & sundays only, so it`s no problem at all

regarding burden, I don`t think I am burden at all since
- my studies are paid for
- No loan house/car etc
- I own a car & 2 motorbikes (fully paid cash. 2nd hand. with a jackpot price for it)


Currently happy with my family. Every lunch time I can go back home for a nap & lunch together since my home and workplace is very near.

I thought of hobbies to do, recently just registered a kayak event from Langkawi to Kuala Perlis.
I thought i`d give it a shot. now getting in shape for it



Yeah, I`d sometimes ask myself, what the hell am I doing here. As always, as a young guy before graduate, we`d always thought the world was all sunshine and rainbows.
As we progress in life, we`d accept the harsh reality working in malaysia.

I`d even considered to migrate, as did my brother. now earning handsome salary in the EU. Before I could consider that, I believe i`d just have to graduate my degree 1st.

Thanks for the feedback, Maybe passion is what i`m lacking. who knows.


I think so too, maybe in the 1st place, i just set a medium term goal, and that`s it. i`ve already reached it then now i`m blank on what next. could be so


I got married when I was 23. Yes, all the expenses came from me. Not a grand wedding. all in less than 12k in 2012. and only one majlis.
I started saving money since my univ days, it`s just a habit of mine, I also make some money here and there, like selling phones, motorbike, cars. for example i sold a 4x4 and made 5k. the owner said he wanted a certain amount of money and that`s it, anything more, I could take it. So i sold that 4x4 and made 5k. i`d also buy 2nd hand bikes for like 2k, then sell it for 3k, 1k profit there. i`d repair student computers, printing service at my room etc. Usually I just try things out.
