Blank!



I stared at the laptop screen, idly drumming the black ballpoint pen in my hand against the empty mug. I looked up and caught my reflection on the laptop’s screen.

“I need a progress”, I blurted out with a lump in my throat. 

A pen and a paper always give me new ideas, but not this time. Doing the same things through the months is defined as ‘no progresses' to me.

My monthly income is strong enough to support my growing family. But my salary and liabilities can't grow equally. I need the umbrella before the rains. I subscribed insurance last few days to protect myself. “In your case, protect yourself means protect your family”, Mr. Firwan the agent advised after hours of discussion. I’m the main and only source of income for my family. So, the theory is straight forward. No me, merely no family protection.

That was a small chapter of progress. My life is now 'insured'. Hahah!

I’m looking forward for something bigger. My career is stable but not sure for the next 20 years. I don’t expect to lift >75kg machine at that age. Or hike the 7-8 floors buildings with my tool bags when the elevator stuck. Or spend 6-7 hours driving during outstation. I need a formula to settle down with minimum risk.

The moment I writing this post, I’ve few things in my mind. If everything going fine as planned, I prefer to share it in my future post. It is my next progress of life. Cheers!
