Awards Day

Awards Day, a special day which somehow marked the end of our study journey up to this far. It is a special occasion for University to acknowledge the hard work of the students (which students don't really appreciate) =X

Honestly speaking, as a student, we've come so far and strived so hard to earn something for ourselves. We had activities. We organized events. We studied. We helped out. We argued. We fought. All these had brought us potpourri of feelings from sweet to sourish.

The certificates sounded small to some people maybe, but, it forever stays a memorable one for me because those certs are just like the film in the camera which captured and tranported me for travelling far with my friends and peers. =) Together, we shared the same experiences and learned with each other.

Thank you to all my friends, advisors and people around me.

Making choices

Well.

Choices are well-spread.

Making a decision is hard.

Today, I've made this decision.

and I hope it's a right one.

and I am trully sorry for not being able to split myself into half.

and I am thankful for having considerate people around.

It's gonna be a blissful weekend.

i know it's gonne be. =)

Many many blessings are pouring in.

and so, it continues...

As a leader, it's our duty to lead the team.

Also, there's a need to influence the team. =)

Influence is a curious thing.
Everyday, we make some kinda impact to everyone.
We may not recognize the level of influence.
And it will not be the same for everyone.

In the journey of leadership, here are some interesting formula:
Charisma + Character + Competence + Conviction = Leadership
Competence + Character + Connection = Influence.

As a leader, we may all sound noble and sensible (charisma & character), but the products come out from us (competency) are below the expectation, that's when a flaw comes in, and people simply can't be persuaded or influenced. With that, we simply can't achieve the commitment (conviction) as a leader.

A position doesn't make a leader.
Neither does a title make any influence.
A title may give some authority, but not influence others.

In order to be a better one, we have to train ourselves everyday, to learn something new and to accept comments and feedback constructively. We're not perfect, but we are trying our best to become a better one in both professional life and in personal life. =))

well

.

sometimes, we just don't see the limit.

or we choose not to see it.

and charge to the maximum.

just me.

today,
i sat on the chair.
stared at the no-connection laptop.
again, i used up my brain.
to have a lil deep thought.
it's kinda like a reflection for these few days.

when we know the truth
will it be really the truth?
OR when we do not know the truth,
then how true can this truth be the truth?

people hurt because of the truth.
people hurt because they know the truth.
and people hurt being criticised over the truth.

I choose to believe the truth that I see.
I am a naturalist and i see things based on my senses.

m.i.s.c.e.l.l.a.n.e.o.u.s.

at times, i ponder.

we really have a lot of miscellaneous chores.

well, maybe we don't call it as chore, more like a responsibility.

at times, i wonder.

when is my turn to get down with my own.

i have to think who i want to be.

i have to think what do i really want.

i have to speak for myself.
i have to juggle a lot of things.

but again, when will be the best time?

or maybe, i have none, yet.

priority.

who/what should be placed first?

i do not like complaint which is irrelavant and untrue.

i do not like a preplanned stuff which can't be carried out.

i do not like rushing people to do stuffs.

i do not like being pushed around.

what do i like?

ask me

and i shall say i have no idea.

what a random post.

with my not-so-random-yet-random thought.

if only... and ...therefore it shall be.

Leadership

Leadership is not a one day thing.

It takes a long run effect.

It moulds a person to be the lead of the show.

Been really interested in the topic of leadership ever since I was in high school. Those were the days I got myself involved with things which were beyond classroom setting. Though it wasn't a perfect one, still, it was something for me.

Today, i am gonna share a few values which I think it's true and real, be it in a real world or by book. As i am reading the book on "Leadership", it somehow reflects what I have been thinking lately.

1. As a leader, being positive is crucial. People rise and fall to meet our expectation. If we express doubt, they'll return your lack of confidence with mediocrity. If we believe in them, I believe they will try their best and wear themselve out. Life as a leader will definately change when trust is instilled.

"Give others money, it'll soon spent; Give others resources, they may not be used to the greatest advantage; Give help, they'll often find themselves back where they stand in a short time; Give faith, they'll become confident, energized and self-reliant."

2. Momentum. It takes a leader to create momentum. Creating momentum requires someone who can motivate people rather than being motivated. There are a few lil things which we could do to maintain the momentum. Keep the team focused. Communicate. Allow others to lead. March to the very end by giving all we have, not more than what we have. I will always have the tendency to remind people around me, to try something which is within our means, attainable and reachable. My lecturer, Mr. Shanker did tell us this. =) When we want the team to succeed, we have to keep going and quit when the job accomplishes, not when we're tired or burnt out.

i have trust in them.

i know they're gonna make each of us proud.

keep my fingers crossed.

meditation

Somehow, i feel that the "Law of Attraction" is quite true.
When you think it's no, then it's NO! :)

Our brain is a very powerful tool of mind.

Sometimes, my life focus is sliding along the road curb.
I may lose the focus.
My friends were right.

A beginner should make mistakes.

We ought to make mistakes, or else we're not freshie.

Another one mentioned that I paid too much attention on the mistakes I have made, which influenced me to lose my focus.
Heed their advices and this week is totally a brand new week.
Honestly speaking, I have interesting days.

Thank you very much for all those encouragements.

You know who you all are.

Thus, i feel law of attraction is really workable.
Deep down inside, i know that i had put aside those mistakes
of past days and moved on.
There's certain aims and responsibilities to fulfill
and i can't afford for any pauses in life
or any waste of time.

We work on it. We change. We learn. We move on.

Charity Drive

Malaysian 88 Taiwan Typhoon Campaign. A charity drive which helped victims of the typhoon organized by whole lot of sponsors and organizers. And yea, we (me, ru & steph) went there as volunteer. Oh wait, steph was the floor manager. Hehe! Got to know some friends, some friendly one, some hip-hop-yo-yo ones, some polite one. =) I guess all the volunteers were here with the same objective- charity. Was in charge of the accesorries booth. @_@" Not many peeps were interested in these, they only love foooooood, something that's practical.

Sunday wouldn't be a boring one! Woke up very very early... -.- as early as 6.30am and back home was already 7.30pm++! *applause*! Right after the campaign, we off for Ramadhan Bazaar over the other end in Shah Alam Sports Complex. Well, it was packed with muslimin & muslimat who were busy buying food and more food for buka puasa. The place flooded with all kind of smell. =.="

Pictures! It's time for u to speak! =D

The venue for the campaign.

Kelana Jaya "Niu Che Shui"

T-shirt for sales

Happily holding an expensive "ornament" named Vio-Vio Doll.

Guess how much it was marked?

It's 129 bucks! Wooohooo!Since all of us couldn't afford, a picture will make our day! =D

Hui Ru and Steph
Well, i wonder Steph got problem or what. ==" I like this pic. Courtesy from the photography team as a souvenir for us. It's a photo frame with our pic in it. Hehe! =D Steph, u should kepoh around that time, then u'll be with us. =(

Then, ramadhan bazaar!

Briyani & chic!

Ikan bakar! This one yum!

Kuih muih! =D
Cup cakes!

Lekor!

My favourite! =D

A picture before i left Shah Alam Sports Complex.

I don't think i will have the chance to come back here if it's without a purpose.

I had fun today despite of the exhausted body, nonetheless, my mind was very clear =) It was absolutely a good chance to explore in different setting and also to observe peeps. XD Also, to hang out with friends during weekend! ^^ Well, we only have weekend now...

Taman Pertanian

It was a beautiful Saturday morning.

Sleep did not seem to be as equal as an outing to everyone today.

Well, sleep deprivation is very common for uni students.

Had a cycling outing with peer counselors at Taman Pertanian Shah Alam.This name has been so well known until today, only i stepped onto its territory.

Group pic taken before going into the park

Check it out!

Wow.

Need a whole lot more of stamina man.

Even the man also will faint after cycling over the "gunung".

Never thought this park is so gunung-like.

Nonetheless, it's good to sweat at the perfect weather.

Windy. Shady. Humid. Haha!

In the midst of the trip, sky delivered some rain for us.

Damp by sweat and much rain water.

The bicycle

Some peeps.

Get ready people! :)

First map.

There wasn't any scale to indicate how loooooong would it be.

Simon fainted.

Guess he was lack of oxygen and blood flow above higher sea level. =X

Buttock pain, some said.

Leg numb. I said.

Cycling- love it.

Nature setting- perfect!

More to come? YES. Drag me next round.

Typical bollywood style pic under the tree

GREEN.

Another group pic in front of 4 seasons house- an attraction in Taman Pertanian.

Inside the Autumn hall.

Flowers, and more flowers.

I love the maple leaves.

This is maple tree! *obviously* -.-"

pink!

i miss

Apparently, i am missing spaghetti.
how long i have not eaten a plate of hot-smoky mushroomy spaghetti?
i miss its texture.
i miss the sauce.
i miss the ingredients.

Am missing a lot of things.
I miss all those classes.
I miss my wonderful holidays.
I miss my bed.
I miss my deep sleep.
I miss my family.
I miss my friends.
I miss the days spent for 'em.

All in all, i miss student's life, seriously.

Phrase of today: When we lose, don't lose the lesson.

midnight brain-shift

people claim that
working experience is important
education is important.

some people claim that
i have this qualification,
therefore i have the right to do so.

some people said that
you should not do this
coz you have yet done this.

i am confused.
what comes first?

i will perceive is as two-ways road.
without qualification, you're just nothing
it's a sad truth, but hey, accept this.
it's the reality.

however, without experience,
you're just as empty as a coke bottle without the coke.

the higher you go, the lower you bow.
do not go overboard over the qualification we have
neither do we boost over our experience
because we never knew
people who around us are too, know what you're doing. =)
or even better that us in many other ways.
what matters most is to be humble
and learn.
not to belittle others.

story

i love listening to story.

i love listening to other people's story.
through stories, we may learn something behind one's characteristics.
i am not kepoh, well, maybe a little, or slightly kepoh'er. hehe! :)

love people sharing their stories with me.
especially those who went through life more than me.
it somehow gives some tips in life, leading some directions.

life.
a route which needs so much of exploration.
we're the life-explorer.
driven by environment and peeps around us.
it will be an exciting road.
fasten your seat belt, and have a safe yet bumpy journey.

we shall explore our destinations together! ^^

._.

it was a silent Sunday night.
was flipping myself as a frying pan'ed fish on the bed.
apparently was having some sort of insomnia.

no wonder
it did bring an impact on Monday.

and it didn't preserve a good omen.
and it just happened. -.-"

was that a pre-Monday symptom or whoooot?!

it's just not a good beginning.
it's just not.

=D

Let's reach out for the sky,
with wings we soar up high.
Our dreams will all achieve
we'll make our destiny.

Let's soar and reach for the sky. =)

We just live once in life, grab the chance.
We can do more than we imagine. ^^

gathering with juniors

An impromptu dinner gathering with my juniors few days back. Just in time to celebrate Kwang's belated birthday. It's been long since we all gathered. =) Love the smiles, laughters and craps. =D Thank you everybody for that wonderful night. I was having a rough day itself actually. =X Still, happy to meet u all. ^^

days...

Days have been great.
With books, with drama series "Grey's Anatomy".
Have been making friends with 'em as my night routine lately.
Circadian rhythm is very well adjusting... *still in the process*

I thought reading book was good.
It serves the purpose of inspiring people and stimulating our mind.
Am reading this short articles compilation,
which teach us
to give life a lil wider measurement,
to look things in a wider horizon,
to treat people in a better way.
This somehow inspires me every night before I sleep.
Pray in my heart that everyday I get to serve people with all my heart.

Grey's Anatomy has been my favourite for its first debut in past years.

Thanks to Yuan Hui, i gotta watch Season 5 (although i've lost 4 seasons last time). What i so love about GA is, they always connect the show back with real life. It could be values of life, it could be love and compassion for others, it could just a simple moral value. At the beginning and the end of the show, it always tells people something. This is why i like about english drama.

************************************************** ****************
How big is your heart?
I mean, not literally big-BIG.
But how many of us can actually be happy for people around?
Or instead, we judge people for their abilities?

I feel disappointed in hearing those people who sarcastically bringing down people around, who, apparently, looking down on others. Please... just try to be proud for people for who they are.
You need to give yourself a treatment on superiority complex.

=(

internal attributor vs. external attributor.

a lot of times, i've been telling myself...
"learn in whatever means coz you may nv get a chance to do so if you miss it"
we learn through experience and criticism which is true and real.

i can pull this through.
i will need to, because i have to.

people are expecting something from me.
i am expecting something from myself.
but things just don't happen in your own way.

=)

it's a new beginning for me.
it's Sept 1.
first day of internship.

anticipating. *although it's gonna be same work place, same faces*
still, looking forward.

pray hard for a smooth sailing... =)
all the best to my friends who're going for the interview.
