out! =D

It was a happy Saturday. I brought Orange out for an expedition to Putrajaya. Merely with the purpose of sightseeing. Hehe! Of course, I was not just with a non-living thing (I don't wanna be schizophrenic), I have Amy with me too :) Anyway, we were supposed to be Malacca but the mission was failed! I don't care SDCU, u guys owed me once! heh! =(

ANYWAY! =D Had fun driving along Putrajaya, viewing lotsa lights, seeing how our country wasting electricty *oppps. Hehe! But Putrajaya is definately a significant landmark for Malaysia. I'm proud of how Msia has developed, and it's still growing. And yes, it was my first time stepping to Alamanda. I never been there at all although I went to Putrajaya for a couple of time.

This time round, we stopped at a few stations. It's my first time went to Istana Kehakiman. Spectacular building, kinda have the english-malay feel. =) Artistic, i would descrite it as. We had a few stupid shots. Sigh. If only my camera is good at night view and with anti-shake function so that some people know how to use it! *ngek ngek ngek! :)

thank you for making your time to crap with me:)

$

Today in class, we learned how to manage $ as a working individual. It's useful. It ponders me with penny for thoughts.

Money, always the root of all evil?

Personally I don't really agree with it because i believe that it always go back to your own personality. Money is just a subject for you to use is as reason but in the end of the day, you justify the whole scenario.

We work hard for our $. Working hard as in you probably spend 80% of your daily energy on your job because you're earning a salary that could support you. At times, people just take all these for granted, to procrastinate at work, to fully apply the malay proverb "kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang". People use money to gamble, hoping to get bigger money in return. I despise gambling. I know gambling is good for brain and mind, but I just feel it's unhealthy. I hate people taking all sort of numbers, deriving numbers from any incident, just to hope for a lottery strike. For me, it's totally unacceptable. and i mean a business when i said that.

Hard earned money is worth to be shared. To share among yourself, your life and even to people around you. It's blessed if you have bonus. It's lucky that we have extra every month. And maybe it's also time to do some saving plans, maybe adoption of kid can be one of the options where your money is benefiting the community around you? What we're earning, it's not just about you. Remember, it's always important to know that this blessing is from Him.

Remember, there's no such thing as easy money in this world. Be appreciate with what we have. I agree with what my parents taught me :)

Risk. Challenge. Stress. Change

Looking at the title, i guess you guys might be predicting that it's gonna be a heavy post. =) Fret not, it's just some thoughts of mine which scanned me through for the past few days.

Attended 2 days seminar in regards of Compassion Fatigue, concerning with how to deal with stressors/burnout within the helping ministry and how people just feel "it's not enough". for instance counsellor, crisis management people, nurses and so on. It was a great awakening. Hmmm. This word is too big for me. Well, I have yet to that level of severity. =) Dr. Biles shared many realistic life examples with us, including her experiences. It's always good to listen to people. :) Her illustrations were all based on common comic, which greatly reflected our life. =)

We human, face burnout, not because of physically inadequate, nor we're not competent. We face burnout because emotionally, we are not being appreciated for what we've done. Think this through, isn't it just the perfect answer? No one would dump appreciation aside, we all are ought to be appreciated for everything we do. Often in life, we encounter a lot of challenges. I guess, those challenges are derived from the risks taken. We come out with the idea, thinking whether to take a risk to try. Due to trials and errors, that's when challenges arrive! :) Life is influenced by lotsa forces. These forces are similar to changes. When one pushes too hard to the other end of the line, that's when the force hits straight to us. Imagine a picture filled with lotsa particles and there's a beam in the middle of the picture. One side of the particles are vibrating too fast and charging to the right, moving the beam. So, yea, forces swayed by and created change. If we're unable to cope with it, we're either at the borderline shouting SOS or give up on things we used to love. Dr. Biles shared a very good quote with us "intentionally giving up expectation". At times, we feel so weary because we just don't meet those expectation within ourselves, let alone the expectation of others placed on us. To gradually heal these emotional wounds, giving up expectation intentionally can be a good way. :) I actually quite surprised to hear this method. Maybe it's a good try, don't ya think? :)

:) It was indeed a great experience to listen to these 2 diff speakers from different background, especially out of the context of our own. You'll realise how big the world is. =)

If we are to function effectively, we must learn to look into two directions: to preserve contact with the world and with the self.

#1

Alright. My blog has been desserted for long. It's time to give it a warm hug. :) Yes, the title of today is #1. I agree with what a friend commented in FB saying that Rule #1 to be happy is to count your blessings. Counting blessings is a way to recall all the good things you've received, meeting good people, received positive gestures from people around you. Yeaa. At times, I am really blessed by my surrounding. I am. Really am. =)

This week has been hectic. Bumble buzy bee. It was an eventful week to be remembered. Apart from its' content and lessons, it's also the people. This is the first time I experienced that, at times, you don't really need a practical help from people, but their presences meant enough for everything. I was so tied up that day and my team had to wait for me for 2 hours. Yet, their presences were such a big comfort. Love you all lots.

i donno how to show my gratitude for you three.

i can only say "thank you" deep down from my heart

and i wish everyone of us is well in everything :)

Our Half Day Trip

Indeed, UK Farm in Kluang is quite a good spot to all the photography lovers. Its' magnificient greenery, the tame animals, the cloudy white and blueish sky that stretches the earth, everything was so perfect. Of course, with human in, it's close to perfection.

This trip was long announced during our last meet-up back in hometown somewhere last few months. It's great to catch everybody and headed for a short getaway. It's the people that matter the most, not forgetting the best scenery. Seriously in love with nature, be it the mud, the wet smell of the grass, the pungent shits from goats/sheeps/ rabbits. :)

Happy that most of us were there :) At times, it really takes the effort from everyone for making it a success. Though a few of them couldn't make it, but i guess there're still plenty of chances for us to get together. :) Who's next to organize it? :) I've done the invitation this time. What's next? Looking forward :)

Time was short, real short. And that's the reason why everyone was so relunctant to go home and left everybody :) :( I treasure each and everyone's presence. Lurve the shots that we had :) It was a simple and meaningful Sunday for me.

choices in life

Sometimes, we just have to be thankful to God that we have the opportunity to choose, especially those choices are in positive aspects. It's your call.

sunday it is...

Didn't realise actually I quite love Sunday despite of the blueness of the next day- Monday :) The circadian rhythm that I am having right now has officially adjusted to the healthy level where I wake up real early, even it's a Sunday, and sometimes i do sleep at super early hour like 9.30pm? =X

Anyway. I like the stillness of Sunday. Logically, Sunday has a milder traffic compare to weekdays. The hustle bustle is gone on Sunday! Less horns, less cars zooming in and out, which also results less polution and fresher air :)

Other than hanging out with friends on Sunday, it is also a day for me to do some serious reflection of the week through reading. For me, reading is so important because it really inspires me to strike for betterment in life. Therefore, for those who know me or who always go to bookstore with me, you know which section i'll be locating at- Self-help/ motivational area. Haha!

Through reading, you get to transfer a lot of information to your listeners, especially the audiences (students) of workshops or talks. :) I love to share the values and I guess i am in the direction of imparting values to them. o_O which i feel myself so old yet i am not, based on the true fact. =X Haha! :) i am young, still.

Sunday is also a time for family. Too bad my family is not with me in KL. Hope they'll be in the near future? :) My mum always like to stay in KL and she always wishes that we have our own house here -.- in which i guess it's like... a dream. @_@"

For lotsa people, Sunday is also a day of prayer. It's a day with God. It is also a day where a lot of community activities are held. :) I donno why out of the sudden i feel like describing Sunday but I know Sunday is always a good day to a lot of people out there. So, yea, Happy Sunday? :))

beautiful Saturday

Saturday started with a great programme of the day: Badminton! woooohooo! i still lurve badminton a lot =) I know i've been skipping it for so loooooooooong. =( and my racquet also got spider web ady. I feel good after sweating though it's a bit sticky all over but it's just... healthy! :)

Later in the afternoon, my sis and i randomly went to The Mines. My mission of the day was to hunt for the lappy. In the end, it got aimed and shot down. =X Hope it's a good decision then :) Then later on we had a super early dinner at Nando's. :) It was good. Spending time with my sister was annoying sometimes, especially we have disagreement in purchasing things. ANYWAY. It's ok la. =D still acceptable.

Just a thought...

Often we take a lot of things for granted. We might feel that this is the way it supposed to be, what's with the fuss? It's like, you should know, but how come you donno? or... you should help me, why aren't you helping me?

Come on, get real man. I can agree no more with a few notions made by my friend. It is mentioned that we just won't be that appreciative if a person/thing is with us all day long. We shall wait until the day when these things gradually detach from us then only we'll start missing it. Yes, very true :)

Verbal expression sometimes is really important because if you don't talk, people just won't know about it. You don't talk, people might have just place an assumption on you, which is so common! =X

I am learning, to appreciate those who're around me or far away from me. Help me to learn this process too :)

Psychotic Dinner

My purse got burnt with a big hole for our graduation dinner :) Headed to Tao's for Asean Cuisine Buffet with all the lovely graduates cum coursemates :) It was a good time catching up with them, chit chatting, camwhoring, updating each other, and eating! ^^ Well, we live to eat, don't we? :)

The wall :)

dessert... oooo, i love cheese tarts! =D

It's been long since we last met, i mean, with that many people who I had classes with. They were seriously good bunch of companions back in uni time :) Well, Psychology students are crazy sometimes and very into ourselves =x coz we study about human? =X which in end we turned cuckoo? =D awwww, i missed those days when we tried to analyze the behavior of human as if we're very pro with it. Haha! We're just proud of what we're studying. That's all. =)

Oysters! :) steph had a lot =x

assortment of japanese cuisine

Sharing common interest, or somehow-same ideas in life is always the greatest thing in life. The ideology, the dreams that we have are always beyond our imagination. The interest of stretching out ourselves in understanding human is unnecessary a common thing among others but not for us :) In ten years down the road, all of us might have already achieved something huge!? :) *looking forward to see our friends leading a successful and happy life*

oooo, yes, we camwhore! A LOT throughout the makan session.

even with the guys! =D

Looking back our photos and reminiscing our past events were something that i always do. Can't believe that we went through so many things together. We hunted places to go, we had all sort of food to makan. :) We formed UniYouth with our bare hands, although there were so many conflicts in between, but i guess it was always good and bad feeling. It's pocketful of rainbows and thunders.

Till we meet again, friends :)

Will be missing a lot of wonderful moments :)

It's really my pleasure to meet you all :) We shouted, we fought, and most importantly, we grow within these three important years of uni time, at least, we all had fun in Student Council and UniYouth :)
