CNY

Chinese New Year

Literally, it's a special festival and holiday for those being at different places to go home and reunite with their family members and all loved ones. There are a lot of Do's and Don't's during the festival. It is celebrated from the eve up to the fifteenth day of the duration. Each festival day carries different and unique meaning. *blabla*

Well.. Old granny stories. I could memorise these from the front to the back and from the last sentence back to the front. Personally the way I treat CNY is more of sustance over form. I make it a task to comprehend the inherent and coherent meanings of every single session and ritual. It is filled with mysterious festive colour blending with the attractiveness of the ethnic especially living in a multi-cultural country harmoniously.

Talking and Doing are two differentiated things. I go home as the time stipulated. I helped out in any way I can for my family. I painted the old colour-fading door. I captured every single precious moment with them. I pretended like I am a very good child. I took the initiative and greeted every relative with nice words just to avoid any further talk-behind regarding my manner. The way my parents raised me was different. They tell you what and when and who, but you gotta sort it out how by yourself.

It's already the sixth of Lunar. It nearly marks the end of my holiday and retreat because I gotta embark on my part time career life soon. But wait, I am not quite ready to be back to the hustling and bustling city life! Rescue me... Help...

Greatness

First and foremost, I would like to thank all the parties whom had helped me making my oversea studies a success. Without your support and kind understanding, I might not be able to make up my mind to see things from a wider perspective.

I was so upset that I gave up the chance to make application. I took no action before the application was due. After some time I thought it is worthwhile to attend such summer programme. Because it is a rare opportunity for us to spread our wings to fly and learn. It is our show time. Most of all, I don't dare to give up any greatness to strive a little higher learning curve. It would totally be a different story and experience.

Life is good. When you're embraced by grace and inner peace, joy and felicity.

Prepared your new-year resolutions?

Ready... 

Get set... 

Go!

Disturbance

I know human are not perfect
I am learning my personality & trying to improve for better

Sometimes I might behave different from normal time
for reason(s)
Pressure - arises anywhere

I don't mind if you prolong the silent situation
but at least, let me know what's wrong with myself

You can't judge a person merely by reason of not in favour of his/her face
That's more than what you imagine
That's not necessarily what you can see with your bare eyes
That's more than you can achieve

Recall how we've gone through the ups and downs
the upheaval, the laughter, the sorrow, the jubilance

I need confrontation 

I think about it
because I care

Silence is Golden?

I do believe in teamwork
But what if any of them is not participative?
I don't know the next move
I care about about the marks and relationship

But someone tell me what can I do to make the person speak

Silence isn't always an useful way to communicate
How could we know what's on your mind if you don't talk your mind?
I don't mind an answer with mistakes or a sentence with broken language

We, as a team, need IDEAS
More and More IDEAS

Remember, Creativity brings Innovations
And that's what we're lacking.

August & September

OHMYGOSH!!!

I've not been posting any article since August!
So sorry about that, I've been busy with my final exam.
It was a chain of relaxing holiday plus semester break after the exam.
In August, my classmates and I celebrated birthday for two friends, which were on two consecutive days.
In August, I went working in the company which I had my internship previously during the break.
With that rate of pay, I was quite upset. But I comforted myself that I need those experience.
I managed to enhance and develop myself despite the short break could actually slip in the blink of an eye.
I took the advice of our MCSP lecturer.
Living in this world means constantly striving, no matter you like it or not.
I'd post some photos of the joyful moment during birthday celebration.

 JH, HY

Investment

一棟新房子、一份股份投資組合和珍貴的寶石看起來就像是一場報酬率高的投資

但是，物質性的它們會否在你遇到困難時在你身邊安慰你？

在你快樂時分享你的喜悅？

或是靜靜地守著你身邊直到生命最後一秒？

在做出物質性投資的同時

也不要忘了投資你的時間和精力來關愛你身邊的每個人

你會發現這份投資出去的關愛和用心

也會在某天某時得到了適時適量的報酬

珍惜你身邊的家人朋友

因為緣分是無價之寶

A new house, a valuable stock portfolio and precious gems may seem like good investments. But will they be there to comfort you in difficult times? Share your joy in good times? Or sit by you as you breathe your last breath? Invest some time and energy in loving others and watch your investment grow.

I had been feeling unsettled since I joined my studies in Advanced Diploma. Through time and time I felt like being dragged to the last day of the world. My days were miserable. I moaned. I complained. I was down. I felt misled and directionless. I knew, that I was facing a situation called Culture Shock. Yes, the life in Diploma was totally different from the current on. It was so fairly good, well-pampered and even spoon-fed. Now, the life has changed. Everything's changed. I'm already grown in mental capacity and physical strength. And really, I meant it, I need to thank one of the lecturers I encountered. She was being helpful by torturing us. She's the devil's advocate, indeed. She trained us. She guided us on those knowledge on textbooks and even those unwritten rules of leading a career life in future. Although I don't really like the way somehow, I re-called back what she had done on us and I know, IT WAS WORTH IT! She whipped us so hard so that we grow. She let us fall so that we comprehend the true fact of how cruel is the world and how to standing on the edge and on ground again. I appreciate her efforts and diligence in doing so. Thank you, Ms. Chin. We will prove to you that you made the right investment! 

Hold my hand

This life don't last forever (hold my hand)

So tell me what we're waitin for (hold my hand)

Better off being together (hold my hand)

Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)

Cause I've been there before

And you've been there before

But together we can be alright

Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold

We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand

Baby I promise that I'll do all I can

Things will get better if you just hold my hand

Nothing can come in between us if you just hold, hold my, hold my, hold my hand

The nights are getting darker (hold my hand)

And there's no peace inside (hold my hand)

So why make our lives harder (hold my hand)

By fighting love tonight

Cause I've been there before

And you've been there before

But together we can be alright

Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold

We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand

Baby I promise that I'll do all I can

Things will get better if you just hold my hand

Nothing can come in between us if you just hold my hand 

Grumble

Since when
I started to grumble over deep in myself
About people
About love
About life
About all the abouts

I don't moan
I don't complain
I don't grieve
I grumble
Because I care

I wish we could have common objectives.
I wish we could realise the dreams together.
I dreamed a dream, of being able to embark on the new lifestyle.
A better life. A green card to access a better life.

After all it was only just a dream.
Planning and executing are different stories.
Didn't you have learn in Management?
Complain no more.
Go work it out!

Action! The Show Is On!

Acquaintances

Wish to run away

from the hustle and bustle.

~ROAR~

1-way

不要想如果

生命中不可承受之情

就在于人生没有重来的机会

如果当初如何如何

现在就不会怎样怎样

每一个岔口的选择其实没有真正的好与坏

只要把人生  

看成是自己独一无二的创作

就不会频频回首

 ——人生只售单程票，过去的就过去了，更重要的是走好后面的路，收藏好沿途的点滴。

 Do Not Think of "If" 

The unbearable fact of life is that

We have no second chance in living

"If" only I could be this & this...

"Then" I'd be that & that... 

There's no absolute one best way in every decision made

at every turning point

Envisage your life as a piece of your Art

Design your own portrait and storylines

And you wouldn't be looking back at your past with much regret

- Life is only a one-way ticket. Let bygones be bygones. 

The more important thing to be learned is: 

Seize your days & breathe at ease in every single moment

Carpe Diem

Random thoughts

Been failing over in love matters.

But Should this be the end?
Are you fated to be alone forever?

NOT at all.

People do live alone in the circle of all friends and acquaintances.

You'll be never be alone
If you can enjoy being alone.

It's been a while since my desire of going outstation arose.
This time it was Kuantan.
The main destinations included Bukit Gambang Water Park & Bukit Panorama (Lembing).
One was having fun with water while the other was an outdoor hiking.
Throughout the trip we rented a residential house as our homestay.

Feedback:
Food isn't as delicious as Penang's but it still worth going to get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city life.
The feeling of having a meal by the seaside and in one of the restaurants in city is absolutely different!
Especially at night time.
With comfortable wind blown all over and substituting the function of air-cond.
Listening carefully to the sound of waves, as though it was the gentlest reminder that you're peaceful right there.

Special thanks to Chia Sin & MK Siew for being the tour guides for this fruitful trip!

Look forward to another best one like this!
