Thank You, Amy!

Today, as i reached my desk, i saw a MPH envelope underneath the keyboard. Out of curiousity (kepohness), i slided it out and read. There's no name, nothing. *even more confusing* But there's a very light & neat hand-written note without a name on it too.

God knows!
It's my first convo gift which comes as a surprise from Amy!
I only found out as i opened the envelope and saw the paper note.
Check out the Mickey! :))
Thank you for your thoughtfulness. It's really really sweet of you. :)
-_-" and thank you for twisting your questions again and again just to let you spot on what i want (which didn't even cross my mind it's for my convocation). Haha! *salute u*

Having a friend & companion like you indeed brighten up my days always! It's nothing about being artistic or creative, but it matters because it's from your heart ok? :) It means a lot and i am super thankful :) Love you!

of friends and baby!

the bear bear we got for wan xin :) they're talking... shhhh...
:) beautiful lil girl! this photo was kinda weird. -.-" this looked much more better

My weekend was blasted with people and events. There's always insufficient of time whenever I go home. Friends and I spent the Sat night with a short gathering and we celebrated sooyee's birthday. Moreover, we went to YH's house to see the lil princess of hers. Cuteness! =D Sometimes, we just have so lil time for each other. How I wished everybody can sit down and have a good chat with all the update heated stories among ourselves. =( and i know these are the people that you gonna count on in life, playing as a role of friend that you can lean onto :)

Daddy's Day

Headed back to hometown during last weekend. There's just no other place than being at home. I am a big kid at home though i am a grown up. We're always a child in our parents' eyes. Forever a child, forever a princess or a prince, being pampered and well-fed after taking in too much of outside food. Believe me, parents always know best because they've been through what we're going through now, staying outside and not taking good care of ourselves.

Okay. So, we celebrated a belated Daddy's Day with papa last Saturday. Hmmm. It was a dinner feast. Well, we do dine in at restaurant often, but this time round was with different agenda, it was papa's day! :) Guess what we had for dad? :) A maroon Reebok cap! He loves maroon and he looks handsome on it! Dad always go for jogging, that's why he needs it! :))

Dear daddy, thank you for everything. Words can't describe your unconditional love towards the family and towards me. Your encouragement, your crappy jokes, your teaching are always the greatest and it always serve as a booster for me to grow in various ways! I love you. :)

Dad put on his brand new cap and be the model of the day!

Few days ago...

Days have been great. The past few days were like taking a hell out of my energy. Powerfully exhausted but super exuberant! :) I thank God for giving me this great opportunity to learn and spare myself out a lil of time to be in where I supposed to be/ out of my comfort sphere.

Indeed was an eye opener for me during last Thursday (due to confidentiality issue, i won't reveal anything here). Honestly speaking, I was thrilled! *not because of what happened to anyone but because of what I'd experienced from the case!* I wish everything is well.

Like what I've posted previously, we really do need to stop and start to look around, not with a cynical face but a concerned heart. It was great talking to a bunch of students who had shed the dry tears in their hearts. At least, for now, what i could do with my status, is to listen to them and let them pour out their hearts in an informal way. Deep down within me, I really wish to do something about it but of course, first and foremost i need to readjust my thoughts and thinking system on something which is out of my norm/daily life. :) I am trying and I know He is guiding me.

More to come. I am looking forward to my every day.

People...

Why is the Earth round? :) It is round because as we're walking along our journey of life, we get to meet different people during every curve. It's always an infinity, in meeting different homosapiens everyday. That's why, the earth is round, for us to walk, as long as we want. It's just the matter whether you take the walk seriously or not.

How often do we pause and take a look at the surrounding? It always amaze me how people in my life comes about. I am thankful because most of them are real good and amazing people and i am extremely thankful for meeting up with the not-so-good ones because it makes me realised how blessed I am to meet with the better ones and how important they are to me :)

Sometimes I feel, it's just absurd to meet certain people in life where you thought he or she can be your enemy. Haha! Or was it just a norm where "judging the book by its' cover" has already blended into our culture? Whatever it is, it takes time to see a lot of things around us, especially how a person can play a role in your life that you might take for granted. Before we judge, we just have to pause and think! It's time to do some self reflection.

Tomorrow will be a better day with people that I love :)

What Say You?

"Am i good enough for you?", "I am not a joke to you!", "Why you look at me one kind?" Sometimes, we're just too busy in contemplating how people perceive us. To me, i feel it's a sad case because we don't even have time to take a good look on ourselves, yet, we're so into how people look at us.

Was struck by a friend today, on how serious he/she was in this matter. This person cares, sooooo care until I felt there's a level of disturbance in him/her. Hmmm... i wish to tell this person, you are yourself. You are neither him nor her. Why do we care so much on how people think about us?

I can't deny the fact that we do care on how people look upon us. I do too, especially towards my close ones. :) However, this shouldn't be the barrier for us, to believe and trust ourselves in making any decisions or any attempts. "Be Who You Are" was my high school class motto. This is something to be positively uphold with. It's never easy but it's never impossible when you try. :) We own the life given by God and I believe God would want us to live a life of ours, not to live a life of others. That's why we belong to our own body and mind :)

rojakful week :)

You cannot believe how fruitful my week was. O_O"

I've been to 7 malls for this week. Midvalley, Sunway Pyramid, The Mines, Leisure Mall, Lowyat Plaza and Sg.Wang. Can you believe it? Coz i can't. O_O I nv been so crazy before.

my first time to Sushi Zanmai

an upside down soccer field at Sunway Pyramid :)

love this deco although i am not in football fever

I've been doing laptop survey for the past few days, thanks for my companions, Huiru, Jeanzz and Amy. Well, i can't say it was a super fruitful experience but at least i get to update myself with the gadgets. I just feel I am reluctant to change this laptop of mine which has sentimental value for four years time. :( But he's really slow and laggy. @_@" So, now, i am thinking Acer or Asus. WHICH ONE IS BETTER?! Tell me. Am going to further my studies soon, guess I'll need a better lappy to accompany me? :)

3 donkeys were camwhoring in the car while waiting for traffic light

ooooo! and this is Amy :) the one i always bully and the one who bully me often

enjoy her presence, be it the crazy time or serious moment :)

Thanks to Amy, i got to cruise my car to UPM during weekend. Sightseeing was what i did during Saturday afternoon. UPM is huge. What's more, it warms my heart to see such a green campus which i am going to stick with for the next few years for my graduate studies. :) i am looking forward, i really am. =) i am sooooo going to complete my application stuff before wondering in my own lala-land about this uni.

Student Affairs at Cameron

I love Cameron. I really do. :) I like the cooling weather, the plants, the greenery. Super like the tea plantation, still. 2nd attempt to Cameron, this time round was with the colleagues. We were super loud. =X really. It was raining on the first day. Half of the mood was gone. I felt the trip started only on the 2nd day itself. =( Anway, luckily we went to the tea plantation *which is a must-go-attraction*. Okie, shut up =X Photos time!

Esteem Makeover

Esteem Makeover- another developmental programme for UCSIUians this semester, touching on the self-esteem of an individual. Self-esteem is very abstract. You can't see it, nor can you touch it. But, you can FEEL it for yourself.

Sometimes, it is known that you are your own best friend. Why? Only you yourself know best. You know where you are heading to, you know who you love, you know how you feel about this matter and stuff like that. Best friend can't stay with us 24/7. They wouldn't know if you're sad at this second or that minute. Thus, we know ourself best. We are our best friend.

Very often we say, "yoh! why am i so stupid!" hmmm... it's too common to be true. People just like to devalue what we're doing, even ourselves do that too. It's very unlikely to praise people for a job well done, nowadays. People, it's time to give a pat on shoulder for yourself, for people that you love or even for people around us. :) It will boost one's self confidence, for he or she to become a better person, to achieve a better outcome in the near future! ^^

May, Amy, Kershin and I were the speakers for this 3 consecutive weeks.

Each week will have 2 sessions of Esteem Makeover.

Ker Shin

students were doing the self-esteem assessment.

Blowing away my 5cm thick of dusty bloggy!

A lot of things to be posted soon.

Stay tune!

rainbow heart

Rainbow has always been my favourite.

When i see rainbow, I will smile to myself, stare at it, and try to find the beginning and the end of the rainbow.

Lately, a song (seems like) got me thinking. It's saying, rainbow heart. :)

Again when i hear it, i was amazed. Great to have a rainbow heart.

From red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo to purple.

It somehow brings the message of a life.

Each of us goes through life.

A life that fills with ups and downs.

Red indicates Love

Orange gives Hope

Yellow shows Sunshine (that we shine upon others)

Green represents Peace

Blue portrays Justice

Indigo gives Kindness

Purple possesses Strength

*interpretation above solely on my own opinion basis*

Isn't it great if a person always fill with love towards others? :) Loves give hopes. When we are lovely and hopeful, we bring sunshine to people. We might have the chance to energize the people around us. With togetherness, there's always a peaceful world. :) Of course, a world with justice and kindness, it builds up the community with a lot of strengths! :)

That's how a world supposed to be! It's always beautiful, when we are beautiful. Everything starts within us. It's the footsteps that matter. If we choose to be a good person today, you'll feel good about it because being kind to others is always simple and easy. It's only the matter of hearts and how people value each others.

Today, colleague asked "Shan Na, do you value lives around you?"

me, "Yes, I am." :)

Often, we always think for ourselves. We think of how to present the best of us in front of everybody. Very seldom we think for others. The flash of thought on whether "you're ok" or "are u hurt over what I said" seems appearing during our life journy in a dimly blinking manner. Selfishness comes in and crowns it. Being realistic/ or OVER realistic seems to be a norm. Wonder is this a good news or not. Don't be stupid, if i help them, i may not get help next time. Superb sentence. If the intention of helping others is to get help in return, then I have to say sorry, this isn't a genuine help. :)

Working in the helping ministry seems to be argumentative. People might choose to ask "Don't you think u're making your life miserable while listening to the agony of others?", "Why this? Your salary can support you or not?". However, I choose to hear "Counselling is a great field because it touches the lives of others." Honestly, it makes me treasure human lives, to be more observant, sensitive and to develop more care for others. :)

We all need people and support. We ALL do. Do not confess you're super independent. Or else, why God created 2 human? :)

Moment

Sometimes

There'll surely be some moments for you to catch!

Captured by your brain and mind.

For you to appreciate THE MOMENT.

For you to treasure the chances to be together with people.

For you to discover something new.

Something VERY new that u're going to remember it for quite some time.

Everyday, these moments will be our life history. :)

When you reminisce 'em, you're going to grin to yourself.

Thank God for giving me such moment.

to be able to share and appreciate what I have

with people that I love :)

Esteem Makeover

Alright! :) Interestingly sound? :) Yes, it's another 3 weeks programmes from SDCU just for UCSIUians! The response was good, yes, it was a full-housed programme. Something to be happy about, thanks to ECA. However, I sincerely hope that students don't just come for the sake of ECA but to come with an open-minded heart, to learn and discover themselves in another aspect.

Self-esteem is very crucial. It's something internal which we can't touch or see. During the fellowship class today, someone mentioned "Without God, I don't even know where my self-esteem is. Without God as the foundation, i am DONE but with Him, I am heading to the place where I am good at and I feel good about it!"

Right. Indeed, self-esteem is an interesting topic to talk about, but it's quite difficult to deliver the message. Today we introduced what is self-esteem and its' importances by KerShin. It was then the external factors that constitute low/high self-esteem. :) I love to talk to people. I am prepared. But when i held the mic, everything seemed to be in a not-so-prepared version and it was randomly delivered based on my thoughts and flow of mind. I hope I can improve and be a better speaker during the next session on Thurs. (gotta put some expectations and target to achieve the goal). There are students out there for you to touch their lives. :)
