Disney On Ice

Who said u cannot feel the excitement of Disneyland in Malaysia? =D I just did with Disney On Ice live show in Bukit Jalil Stadium yesterday. =_____________=" (self-fulfilling prophecy) Alright. So, this is my first time watching Disney On Ice themed Disneyland Adventure. =))

my first Disney On Ice ticket! :))

Outside of the hall.

lots of Disney merchandises. p_r_i_c_e_y

Before the show began... :)

the ice-skating stage.

slippery and brightly shines!

Jaws dropped as I witnessed the instant changes of props and lighting without the attention of audiences from top to bottom, in and out, flipped and turned. I tot it was just me, but hey, the rest thought the same too! Have to give two thumbs' up for them! Seriously, it was superb! :)) Sitting at the upper tier of the stadium wasn't really that bad as I could still see the whole performance clearly and wholly. Spectacular opening and closing. Loves the lighting effects. Colourful! Different setting of environments would have different kinds of lights and it somehow triggered my excitement. Ok. Chill. And I can't really believe the skaters really skated like nobody's business with the big head masks on. Really salute them lots!

very nostalgic childhood moment

with the music and dancing steps. :))

this was the opening where the main character Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto skated out and danced. =D

As i've mentioned, it was themed as "Disneyland Adventure".

There were in the haunted house. With ghosts. @_@"

There were a lot of children, AND adults! =X We're one of them. :)) Loves to see children's smile but not the wails. Hehe! Children's laughters, exclaimation and giggles were filled thoroughly in the indoor stadium especially with the appearance of the Disney characters like Mickey, Minne, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto. Special side dishes like Stitch, The Incredibles, Snow White, Cinderella were there too! ^^ Loves The Incredibles. :))

Stitch with his "ga-ga-ga" typical hoarse voice.

"i" for the Incredibles! :)))

those Incredibles, really super incredible.

i think they skated the fastest among all. @_@"

Cinderella and prince! :)

And did i tell you? The finale of the whole show was amazing! A sudden blackout of the stadium and TATA! The LED lights of the Disneyland building landmark. B.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. =)) Just love it.

lights in the pit dark stadium shocked me. =)Happy ending with all the disney characters.

I always love Disney, be it cartoons or movies. It always portrays the value of love, friendships and kinship. It's very educational and it suits every level of human kind. :) Thanks to my parents, I even had Disney preordered magazine every month when i was a kid. @_@" Next time, i am gonna bring my kids over for this and buy them disney colouring books!! =D *maybe for yh's girl girl first*. Haha! =D

Burnout and Compassion Fatique

Gone through a test named Compassion Satisfaction and Fatique Subscales of Professional Quality of Life Scale.

Burnout is always being perceived as a feeling of hopelessness and difficulties in dealing with work or the things that you do. More so, you're losing the passion in doing certain things that you used to love. Anyone of you had encountered burnout before? On the scale of the norm, we usually will sense our "alarm" rings. So, what does this alarm tell? Well, it can be a form of losing the sense of belonging, the loss of passion, mood swing and many many more which negatively bog you down. For me, i think when the alarm rings, it's time for us to be alert and conscious on what we're currently facing. Issit because of the stressor? Burnout doesn't happen in a blink of an eye. It happens due to the accumulative stressors in human. It's like a pile of shit, stuck in your bowel (what a good description huh?). Haha! Anyway! Don't let the stressors pull you down. Please get away from what u're currently doing. Recharge yourself and come back again. Or! Do something that makes you happy. Singing? Exercise? Eating? Sometimes, human just simply need a break. Don't you think Kit Kat is doing a good job? "Have a break, have a Kit Kat!" Haha! =D

Compassion Fatique

As for compassion fatique, known as secondary trauma, which explains your work-related, secondary exposure to extremely stressful events. For instance, a friend comes to you with his/her problem and you take that problem personally and transform it into yours, somehow. In counselling term, we may name it as transference (somehow related). My score was relatively higher than others in this scale. It's on an average scale but just slightly higher. It's quite true though as I will feel sad for what others had gone through, but not to the extent of having depressive syndrome or whatsoever but it bothers me and may mislead me from where i belong. I believe it's due to the lack of experience, i am still very much adjusting myself into this helping relation. Again, i guess i am just too conscious over what i am doing and what i've learned during my degree years. Knowing human too well isn't really a good thing somehow. hehe!ooo by the way, my burnout scale was also slightly above average. haha! most of us are above the average. =X I've scanned through the workloads that we had since the very beginning. Let's see- One camp, two workshops, three high schools events, endless trainings, bulletin establisment. All in ONE semester! I really think we all need to pat each other's shoulders. No wonder we always feel we are still lacking of manpower eventhough we have more manpower than the past. Whatever it is, just strive for the best and enjoy the work. I love teamwork. I really do. But i believe all of us need to get away from work and take a short break before our burnout pointers got shoot up again. Haha! GAMBATEH!

you saw the best that was in me

lifted me up when i couldn't reach

you give me faith coz you believe

i am everything i am

because you loved me.

(Because You Loved Me, Celine Dion)

-a powerful song to kickstart a day and to recharge myself, i am not alone-

play safe

the title sounds so absurd. Haha! never mind. :)

wonder issit due to the instinct of being a counsellor (not me, of course), they somehow read me. O_O" so, being observant is good or bad? I wonder. Sooner or later, i'll be a transparent plastic. XD Alright! i am very random now but i am having a sound mind ok. but now i just cannot really connect what i really want to convey.

i think it's time to evacuate and evaluate. To? to somewhere out of my comfort zone. i am always with a bed of roses. I have everything i want. I never encountered hardship. There's just no hardcore in life. I know i should be appreciating with what i have right now (i am just being bitchy here).

It's time to get away. I am too occupied with things, with my own expectations, with people's expectation and with the consciousness of creating and recreating mistakes. All these accumulative elements really can cause burnout in one self.

She's true. I am afraid of conflict coz i have been living well. I do not like people arguing. I like people talking in a gentle and peaceful tone. I am supporting peaceful environment and she's also true that i may have the tendency to runaway from things and to play safe. Yes. This one i second. Never ever leave your feelings unattended. It's terrible. Find out the source and refine your life.

Today I had lines and lines of thoughts rushing in and out. I think my ram is kinda slow, that's why it's quite lag and needs longer time to digest. Lesson learned today: Live the day as though u're living it for the last time because you never know you'll be alive or dead the next day. People always take things for granted. Takes time for granted too! "I always have tomorrow to do this, do that, make this, make that." "I tell you first thing tomorrow." How many tomorrows you have?

A terminal leukimia patient refused to talk, eat, or smile in the hospital.

So, this lady [T] went to him and asked, "Can we talk?"

"No." he frawn and said.

[T] tried a few times and finally this man agreed to talk to her.

[T] asked, "why do you refuse to eat?"

He answered, "I have no time anymore, what for to eat and talk?"

[T], "So, how long can you survive?"

He murmured, "Not long. About 1/2 year."

"You're really a lucky man!" [T] exclaimed.

Looking surprised, he asked, "Why? I AM DYING for godsake!"

[T], "I don't even know when i will be dead but you know!"

The man, "..."

[T] spoke again, "You see, you're given a timeframe to create your own life. People like me, don't. Who knows i'll be gone tomorrow? I'll be even more earlier to report to God than you! People always take things for granted, thinking i have tomorrow. Since you know u have this timeframe, make full use of it and treasure everything you have now."

*silence*- the patient resume his life as normal again from that day.

A friend of mine probed me with question like "how many of us really do some lil lil gifts for people around us to affirm each other?". Thinking of that, i think i've done it. Haha! :) Just that, sad to say that it's no longer a practice for me now. T_T BUT! There's always other way out, like spending time to talk and be appreciative with what people have done for us?

Flat.

totally.

totally flat.

I-City

It was a great Sunday outing with housemates the other day. We headed to I-City in Shah Alam after a quick dinner. I-City is actually a MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor) project where LED lights showcase was held. The trees were beautifully lid. There are also a few LED lights models (reindeer, panda, peacocks, christmas trees *with tanglung*)

This time round, we took hundreds of photos. -.-" which is so hard for me to choose to be placed in my blog. So, just gonna be a quick recap for the night! Hope you guys enjoy it! :)

camp reunion dinner- Shabu One

Just find it amazing how students nowadays gather, even after the camp. Haha. This reunion dinner is the aftermath of the Team Building Camp where the campers initiated it together after weeks of not seeing each other. =) How sweet eh. It wasn't just about the dinner, it's about the fellowship.

So, we headed to Shabu One at Lot 10 on Saturday night. @_@" sesat jalan. -.-" Haha! Anyway, we had fun makan together-gether. Shabu One is very expensive if you're a normal walk-in customer. I don't think i'll go again if i have no student card or membership card. It makes such a vast difference! From rm52 to rm22! =X goaash. Nonetheless, I would say the food there was fresh and with lotsa varieties and it looked clean and tidy. It somehow increased the appetite :)

After the dinner, we wandered around *because we couldn't find the way out to carpark*. Watched some performing artists along the street. It was filled with tourists and many unknowns. @_@" tell me about it. I don't think i'll go there again. So rojak! =X

For HuiRu! =)

It was a belated birthday mini celebration, thanks to someone who wasn't there for a week! *roar* :) It was a very simple one though. Hehe! Just makan, blow off ONE candle. Hehe! Oooooo... i forgot. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HUIRU! :) May you lead your life to the fullest and spread your loves to others, you always do. ^^ Thanks for always being there and listen to me. Your presence as a great friend has made a great impact and difference in me.

uniquely you =)

Let me continue with a lil bit of personality as i am really glued with it lately :)

Am now reading Personality Plus by Florence Littauer which somehow make me ponder upon certain friends and close ones and even myself. Observation is getting more focused as less talking is made. The book is just so right on each of the personality. Well, there's just about 10% faulty assumptions. :)

So, what's with personality this time round? :) Apart from D.I.S.C. that i mentioned previously, our personality also can be divided into another version of four- Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic.

Sanguine

A person with Sanguine personality is always an extrovert, talker and optimist. The emotions that consist in a sanguine are usually cheerful and bubbly, curious, lives in the present, changeable disposition, always a child, good sense of humour. Also, an interesting fact about sanguine is he or she may stay as a child due to the fact that he or she doesn't want to grow. Hmmm. How interesting! :) Sanguine also a person with full of energy and enthusiasm. Loves people, makes friends easily and very spontaneous.

Choleric

Choleric person is always an extrovert, a doer and an optimist. A choleric is a born leader with dynamic and active personality. Always in need to correct the wrongs. He or she can be an unemotional animal. Haha! They're not easily discouraged. Possess with sound leadership always very goal oriented. They have lil need for friends. Usually they will work for group activity and excels in emergencies.

Melancholy

Melancholic is usually an introvert, a thinker and a pessimist. They can be a very deep and thoughtful figure. He or she strikes for perfection. Serious and analytical are the trademarks of a melancholic. They're also sensitive to others, loves self-sacrificing. More so, an idealist too. Usually a detailed person. He or she is faithful and devoted. Contradict with sanguine, a melancholic makes friends cautiously and they show deep concern for other people.

Phlegmatic

Phlegmatic is always an introvert, a watcher and a pessimist. They are always in low-key personality, usually calm, cool and patient. An easygoing figure like them are usually happily reconciled to life and always not in a hurry. Plus, they don't get upset easily and they are easy to get along with people. Being a good listener, they enjoy watching people and show compassion and concern for others.

There's no right or wrong for one's personality. Please believe that each of us is unique and there's only ONE you. So, what's yours? :)

D.I.S.C.

As a psych student, everyone should know what D.I.S.C. means. DISC are 4 types of different personalities in human which a person can consist more than one personalities. D-dominance, I-influential, S-steadiness and C-conscientious.

To me, DISC plays a vital role in my life. Why do i say so? Haha. Because we somehow analyze or interpret people, or just to be a noisy parker. Everytime when we talk to somebody, we would say, "yea... she's I." or "omg! he's such a D!" Haha! It's like the code of language where everyone else in the world doesn't understand but us.

Well, this is not the main point of today. Hmmm. Lately, it's like a trend, to talk about personalites. Being sensitive over one's personality is good and it's ONLY good when it comes in an equilibrium where it doesn't go too sensitive or being a numb dummy over other people needs. She's right. Don't change over what others said. It's not worth it. Be Who You Are (that's my Form 4 and Form 5 class tagline).

It's never a regret to study psychology. It makes me realise human doesn't stop their thought even when they reach certain stages of life. We can be a mature person, or our thinking can just be as static like a kid back in childhood era. It depends how you draw the line.

Enough of my rant and blahs. I believe it's very important to strike a balance. Put ourselves in other people's shoes before blurting words that hurt the feelings of others'. This is something we really need to learn for staying in such a beautiful earth with human being. Tooooodles! :) Isn't it just perfect to be with people of different personalities? Really a great application! ^^

p/s: Anyway, i am a high "I" freak. Beware :)

Who Am I?

Being able to stand in front of everyone and talk is just like a dream to me. Well, it's not that I never been in front and talk, just that, in a different role, as a speaker for the high school students. Never ever thought that i am able to stand in front and give a workshop/seminar. It has been my dream to give motivational talk. I really appreciate the chance and i am thankful of having a bunch of supportive colleagues who're always behind me cheering me to the max.

My first debut dedicated to SMK Tmn Connaught with the title "Who Am I?". They were all form 3 students. It was about ~500 students and i couldn't feel the tension of it. Most probably coz of the numbness in me which calmed me down a lil. =X I have no idea. What i know was once I grabbed the microphone, the stage was mine and just go for it without thinking too hard. However, I think the content of the talk wasn't really sufficient and i couldn't feel the sense of fulfilment in myself. Gotta buck up a lil by gaining more experience. Nonetheless, it was an eye opener for me. :) Appreciate the opportunity given.

p/s: thanks Amy for being my assistant that morning. :) your presence means a lot to me.
