Courage to conduct VS mistake

I've always been someone who knows my weakness

Patience have always been my week spot as I am a fast tempered person. 

Yesterday I've been a bit too harsh or impatient with a fellow friend

I'm still unsure of the outcome but it makes me feel bad 

I will try harder to be more patient to be a better person in life. 

I used to stop presenting because I know I am weak at persuasion.

Because of that I grew heavily dependent on others

But now when I need to do it myself

I face problems keeping cool.

And that's not cool at all.

Thanks for giving me the chance to learn

Thanks for giving me the chance to make a mistake

I believe with every mistake I make, I will comeback stronger

You better watch out. XD

Good morning everyone.

New Gadget

Yey, bought a new tablet laptop yesterday.
Acer Aspire P3.
So far I am quite satisfied with the performance.
M actually writing this blogpost with it now. XD

I've always wanted to buy  tablet laptop.
My requirements are simple:

• Tablet with Window 8 (not with the RT bullshyt...)
• Usable keyboard (the soft touch with surface is not to my liking)
• Intel I3 and above (not Intel Atom, which I feel is not enough for my usage)
• Simple and easy to use

And that's about it. 

But with these simple requirement, it's surprisingly hard to find a suitable tablet laptop with an affordable price.

Anyways, glad I got this from PC fair. 

And m satisfied. :)

Everybody has got a prideful chin!

I've recently reconnected back with a primary friend of mine.
Sheng and I had a great time chillin and chattin with him and his girlfriend.
As fun as it would seem, I've made an observation, or it would be more of a speculation.
I look back and pictures of all my friends in primary and secondary school begin to float up in my mind.
Everybody has got an awfully prideful chin!

This obsession on pride was first made clear to me when a friend of mine told me that I am a prideful girl.
After thinking this through, I kindda agree with that, what's wrong with having a little pride, right?
But as we were having our late night coffee/alcohol chat, I blurted out something which had been stuck in my mind for quite sometime.
"I think our school produced a lot of prideful kids"
Sad to say, my friend's girlfriend said that many kids from other places say that this fact is, indeed, true.
Which bring me to my next question.
Why...

Kids from our school, they lived a life where the social status quo is divided into those who are

• Perfects (being active in sports, co-curriculum and had excellent grades and coincidentally handsome or pretty - highly popular), 
• Populars (God blessed faces or body which made many fall from head to toes for them - wildly popular)
• Nerds (had excellent grades - respected by friends [only in specific situations])
• Actives (as in being active in co-curriculum, being head or leaders of organizations or uniform bodies - popular & busy)
• Quiets (the silent ones in class - form groups of own support and choose to not meddle with other kids)
• Weirds (spend time with their own obsession, computer geeks, anime fans - live life within their own circle, does not care of other's perspective)
• Outcasts (people who just doesn't get along well with others, they struggle to gain acceptance - needless to say, others would treat them in a way that is unfair or just plain ignore them)

I wouldn't say all of it is true, but I tried to stick to my observation. (excuse the lame naming I gave to each categories; if I may have offend you, meh)

But I've notice, whichever categories one may fall into, much of them had this pride in themselves that made them stayed in that particular category they were in. 

It was not that pride was an issue then, but pride did played a role in shaping our school's students. 

Being one from the many-attention-given-to school, students enroll in this school with a result cut-off.

Meaning, only good students can enter our school. 

With that, came pride; it became the basic requirement to enter our school, which is sad but not surprising. 

I think back on many different faces of friends I know, I almost always notice that they talk with their chin up (I know it is logic that we can't talk without the chin being up, doi) 

Chin up hence refers to that particular posture where you are comfortable and confident on what you are trying to say. 

As now with achievements measurable and fame & glory only so easy to get via hot social networks, it's only normal that people had many reasons to be proud of themselves. 

I believe I am rightfully prideful, same goes to Sheng, my parents, my brothers, my family and my friends. 

People have a chin which tells it all, and I believe everybody has got a prideful chin!

A little bit of July - OG Experience Seremban

It's been quite sometime, been busy with my internship and my coffee business *hint hint*

So it's been a fulfilling month, I gotto work as a HR ass (that stands for assistant, noti noti), and besides, I got to run my own business. 

Busy as it seems, I actually enjoy living a life like that. 

Been to a training at Seremban called OG experience. 

And I'd say, it's really an amazing experience!

Gotto meet a lot of new friends, work together with my growing team (m super excited to have a few of my best friends to work together with me!) and learn from the best. 

This is me, wearing this dress which I bought ages ago

Meeting Mr.Sonny, VP of OG Asia

(looks like our daddy lol)

Girl power! Me with the future shining star, Samantha!

Me and him (surprisingly rare normal pictures)

Aaaaaaaaand my partners! (which is not normal at all XD)

Now m working hard towards my goal. 

I want it to be achieved within this 2 months (worst pun within this year). 

1 percent.

New experience, refreshed thinking

Of late, I am involving myself in a coffee business.
It's interesting for me to know the elements in it.
Marketing itself is not easy, it comes with interesting catches.
Along with that, I got to meet more new friends which share common thoughts.
Experienced network marketer which are more than willing to help.
And, to be frank, I love the feel of getting my time stuffed and filled with To-Dos.
I gotto confess, I like the busy schedule with lots of travelling.
Perhaps I am more suited for a sales job? Haha.

Anyway, I am only beginning my humble journey of learning and improving.
I hope that one day, I can be a better person than what I am now.
To grow and to prosper with warm and kind friends and family around me.
To smile everyday with challenges ahead and to meet those challenges face to face.
To work together with my partners and my dar, for a better tomorrow.
I will achieve my goals, soon.

The Notebook is lame

I only cried like 5 times.

























And 3 times after the movie ended.
It's lame...

Say what you mean and mean what you say

In this fast paced world, we are very quickly judged by others.
One word might cause you way more than you thought it would.
So lemme share with you a few cases which happened around me.
*names or exact details are altered for story telling purpose*

I had a friend, Sally, who is really confident. She would be very determined and strong when making commitments.
These are her words along the line "I don't care what people say, I will surely pass this test with flying colors"
But in the end, she did not put real effort in it. She sit around in the library playing with her handphone, thinking that maybe next time she will try better.
Where a commitment is made, and no effort is put in, people would look at her and ask her, 'why are you not studying', she would then reply 'it's non of your business, stay off'.

Another story would be Mary, she would so contented that she would lose weight, she told everyone, I am going to be successful by the end of this month.
She started out good, where she would exercise and diet.
In the end, she craved and eat like nobody's business.
The worst part is, she believed that she is looking slimmer where the actual weigh states otherwise.
She gets angry when others ask her about it and kindda cheats herself that she is slim.

Why share these stories? Well, the core of the story lies in one of my own experience.
I was once a leader in an organization back in school then.
I was visionary, stating to others that I would like to bring change and betterment.
But I wasn't able to fulfill my commitment and I was being blamed at.
Then I had a few deep chats with my close buddies, who told me that I gotto just accept the fact and move on.
It was hard, moving from a bad image to gain trust, but I did try my best.
Whether or not it works out, I dare not say, but I think I manage to change myself for the better.
Now that I think back, this actually inspired me and educated me.

While all stories share the moral value of words should be honored, I think we should learn to be careful with words.
I myself am still learning how to talk skillfully without trapping myself in my own words/commitments.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that we should be cowards and stop making promises or commitments at all.
But I am saying that when you say something, you have to at least try to do it.
When all fails, be a gentleman/woman, admit that you failed and try again.
It's not easy learning to admit defeat, but sometimes we just gotto put our pride aside and do what's best for ourselves.


I wish everyone a good day and say what you mean and mean what you say.

Learning Thai

The first thing most Malaysians get confused is the gender polite particle.
"kha" is how a female would be polite to others in speech whereas "kap" or more specifically, "krap" is how a male would do so.
I've seen many posts about Malaysians interchange between the 2 in an attempt to "learn" the language.
Well, it doesn't work that way.

Although I am not all that good in Thai, but I think it's the least we as Malaysians can do to respect the language.
M going to sit for my Thai exam soon.
Chop Dee Na Kha.
Good luck everyone, peace!

My Study Week

Yea... It's a false label.
I didn't study that much. I feel bad about it.
What more with the time constrain, I feel like I'm gonna be needing waaaay more than 1 week to study.

Anyways, my study week started off with a nonsense drag.
I have to go back to USM for a few times for a meeting and others.
Then of course, the mandatory 3 day hibernate after the stressful sem.
Which leaves me with less than 5 days before my first paper.

So I went to Tesco to ease my conscious by buying stuff.

Yey, after using my brain power to mentally imagine body ball and yoga mat for like a few months, I finally got it! 

And.... They kick my abs's butt hard...

Then, I went out with mah best bud Rach. 

She is as loving as usual, we stand as Women's 38 association and gossiped the whole afternoon.

Ahhh, good days. 

Her mom, 林老师, was a really good cook! 

Japanese Curry as dinner!! 

We definitely enjoyed it a bunch!

Cheers for an awesome day!
(aaaaaaaand we took a shaky photo in the car in the end)

I'd like to shout out to Rach, for always being there and for all the awesome things u do. 

You rock gurl!

30 days abs challenge

Now I am super into abs, not because I want to have a sixpack, but I wanna have curves and lines.

30 days of non-stop exercise is not easy. But I do get a day's rest or two. 

My target: be able to wear a short top when I go to my Swak trip with my dar. 

My method: look up and follow exercises related to this part called the rectus abdominis. 

So far, my achievement is, I am able to do leg raises, crazy crunches, planks, and derivatives of those. It's noted that my tummy is getting flat, but still, there are more work to be done. 

Now that I am back home, the dieting part might sometimes go out of hand. 

I have loving parents who care for my welfare, or to be more specific, "foodfare". 

But I do get a lot of motivations from videos like Jung Da Yoen or those female gym goers from the states. I'd say, I will achieve what I want very soon. 

To quote from a very experienced USM coach, "to workout is not a matter of your body's strength, it's a matter of your mental one." 

To quote from another very friendly gym goer (which is also a basketball athlete from USM), "whenever you need to make a decision, get out from your bed, sit/stand straight up, your decisions might be clearer to be made like that".

With lots of helpful friends or coaches around me, it's only a matter of time before I get what I want. 

BTW, anyone's interested in an international coffee business? 

Have a nice day yall!
