To the next destination

Things start to settle as the semester comes to an end. But the journey call life will never stop.

This week is the week I've been waiting for. Time to think of some of the stupid decisions I've made. I need to become more mature.

I haven't decide on my next destination although Petronas has path the route for me. Many keep asking me why do I want to let go of the chance to do PHD straight away. If my future is not planned ahead then perhaps I would choose to become an academician, just like my parents.

Perhaps a Dr
Perhaps an Ir
Perhaps a DTM
Perhaps a Miss
Perhaps...perhaps... Life is always full of choices and there is no right or wrong to each.

And perhaps, it would be better if I focus on what to do NOW. And let time lead me to the next destination.

Tick tock tick

December is half gone and I'm seriously running short of time. I've totally cut of all my workout time just to wrap things up. This is the part where things could easily fall apart. I have to keep myself firm.

Never forget about the important things in your life, I've mentioned it thousand times.

Of love, of passion shall never die
Everything will be fine
Keep that in mind
It's time to fly
Up high
Life
I

Positive (3)

Being told in the face that people would hire me for any job just because I wrote 'President of UM Toastmasters Club' in my resume.

It was such a great recognition for me and Toastmasters International. I have never regretted of the path I choose.

Achieving Advanced Communicator Bronze after 3 years in Toastmasters, I have achieved my first personal goal for Toastmasters this term, I am ready to go for more.

The heavy rain seems to wash everything down the drain...settling everything negative that is trying to bring me down this week. I keep myself positive.

At least I got the motivation to fuel till the end of semester. Bring it on.

Be strong. Believe. Be positive.

Terms and condition applied

Some acquaintance, we met and we said 'good bye!'
some friendship last a few days, like those I've met in camps.
some friendship shatter through time,
some just couldn't go deeper,
some worth sharing my heart
and some last forever.

We know that we are born with weaknesses, we learn to accept. But acceptance has its limit when we abuse it. I wonder why my heart volume is so variable for different people, sometimes it changes with time.

I am nice to all who enter my life, but not all leave with smile.
Friendship is not measured by the years we had nor by fun we had. I don't have a definition for friendship as anyone who makes my feel better than being alone is my friend, just don't hurt me.

'Words' can be 'sword' when you misplace it, stubbing right into my heart. After all the wounds, I can still be your friend but with terms and condition applied as my pierced heart will not be that strong again.

Effort speaks for itself



Just before the presentation and interview, with all the butterflies in my stomach



"No" has always been the answer in my life. Rejected by Matriculation, JPA.
I never blame, maybe I am not good enough.

Stephen Fernando once said, "The journey of a thousand mile begins with first putting on your shoes." Indeed, you need a pair of good shoes. In other words, you need to equip yourself with sufficient skills and right focus for the goals you want in life.

New things are never taken as a challenge as I see them as an opportunity to grow. This sounds philosophical but that is the reason why I enter Hitachi Young Leaders Initiative.

You must be the change if you want others to do so.
In the interview, I was asked,"what would you do to let people around you to listen to you? You are still so young."

I answered,"Age is not a factor. I have to become a leader if I want to change people. But to be a leader I must learn to sacrifice. Leader does not mean I am the one with the spotlight but the one with the most humble heart to serve. Take Mahatma Gandhi for example, he was chosen by his people but yet he was so humble in everything he did. People were inspired, not forced to obey. That's true leadership."

If you want to touch the crowd, you must first touch their hearts.
If you want to touch their hearts, you must first touch yourselves.
I guess I have touched theirs.

The more I grow, the more I learn to let go. I was confident but never over. I'll get it if I really deserve it. And it turned out to be great. I'm going to Hanoi, not to mention Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO Heritage Site. I'm so happy and even if I have to sacrifice my final exam. Oh well, to be a leader, I'm learning to sacrifice.

After all, I did put a lot of effort to learn and finally, I got the answer, "Yes".

And for the first time in my life, a 5 star experience. I feel like a princess. =D

Hot shower, cozy bed, things I can't afford, the minimum stay is RM700!

Oh yeah! 5 star cuisine. Too pretty to eat.

Haagen Dazs unlimited. The prefect treat after presentation and interview.

Help

One can have many friends but not many helpers.

One's life is written by itself.

Help will not always come to it.

If you want to know who is being helpful to you, put yourself into something that others are better at. You will learn who is being a helpful friend to you.

But never give up when there is no help. As you are the factor to determine success. Even when there is no help, you can help yourself.

This is life. You decide on what you want to become.

And people will look at you differently when you do succeed.

This little place of mine

This is a place where I can escape from reality. Things start to pack up in my first week, and it shows no signs of slowing down. I hope I don't go down.

I can no longer commit to old things that I love. I need to make sacrifice. To choose what is more important for me right now.

I must learn to face every challenges and remain standing at the end. It's tough and I always tell myself to get ready.

Stay strong, stay focus. Don't go down even when my shoulder is over-burdened.

A friend says,'learn to let go.' Another friend says,'don't give up.' I can't decide now. I need this little place to store my burden, till I'm ready to take it up again.
