Win The Daily Battle

Here is my daily reminder from John C. Maxwell on his ‘Success One Day At A Time.



People who achieve daily success
have learned to conquer four common time-wasters,

Laziness:
Time put to no useful purpose,
not even relaxation.

Procrastination:
Putting off things that should be done now.

Distraction:
Time frittered away on the details of side issues,
to the detriment of the main issue.

Impatience:
lack of preparation, thoroughness,
or perseverance, usually resulting in
time-consuming mistakes.

I shall remember and practice what shall be done right now.

Success – is not always what you see.

rabbit

 

I might not see the fruits now.

Or my fruits have not even grown. However I believe that one day, I will see the fruits in the end of my chapter – the growth in myself, people around me and my students.

This picture is a good constant reminder for myself.
So, ‘BELIEVE’ is the keyword.

Dear, I……

Ok.
I did what I was not suppose to do again.
Sigh….

 

I lost my phone for the 2nd time again in my life, minus 2 times being stolen. I swore I was being very careful… But, sigh.. This time, it dropped at the garden when I was busy shooting photo with Jane. I guess, it fell off from my tight pocket unconsciously. We both tried very hard to search around the suspected area, even talked to the workers but the result was expected.

 

I don’t think I deserve to use a mobile phone anymore. Probably I should just live a primitive life *smack myself*

 

One of the hardest moments is not to live without a mobile phone (I am living such a life now till I got back my number) but to inform le petit ami, (boyfriend in French) about the lost of his handphone.

 

My nervous system had already played its roles when the decision to inform the boyfriend came into my mind (surprisingly not to mum or dad anymore). I was imagining such a reaction:

 

*****

 

Me: Dear… Could I tell you something?
Calv: Yes my dear?

calvin1


Me:
Do you know you have such a charming smile?
*using the art of language I learned from Psychology*

Calv: Everyone knows that *smile*


calvin2


Me:
And, can I tell you another thing?

Calv: You can tell me anything, of course. What is it? *smile*

calvin3


Me: Promise you will not be angry? *gulp*

Calv: I’ve told you that you can tell me anything right?  Tell me lah~

Me: Oohh.. Ok.. I have lost your handphone at the garden today. I… am.. sorry..

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

calvin4

.

.

.

Calv: Say again?

.

.

*****

 

Those negative thoughts had conquered my mind and I could feel my heart beating furiously when the phone call received by le boyfriend. I have decided to bare the consequences so I am ready for the ‘say again’ moment.

 

To my surprise, he took it calmly and didn’t show any disappointment or anger towards the lost of his favorite phone. He even consoled me but at the same time advicing me not to use handphone anymore. Lol.. I’m joking. He advice me not to buy expensive phone in future.

 

I think I should. Or get an old phone like the bottle like one so that it is easily spotted when it dropped again. I guess, no one would be interested to stole such a bulky-out-dated-phone. Haha..

 

I am lucky to have such a caring and forgiving partner. This has reminded me about Dr. Randy Pausch on The Last Lecturer when he has reminded us that, “People are more important than things”. There is no need to hurt a person when you know the thing can be replaced. This is exactly what has been reflected through Calv’s action. I am thankful to both my boyfriend and God. I have learned something through the lost of the phone and the way he handle an issue.'

 

Still, a fruitful day for me… =)

Jealousy Towards Other Active Bloggers

I know it is not normal to have such feeling. Well, I can’t help but feeling rather helpless and jealous towards bloggers who are actively blogging, and I can’t =(

 

I don’t know is it because of my job that keep me from blogging or because I am just not in the mood?

 

Ever since I joined Teach For Malaysia, time allocated for blogging is getting lesser and lesser each day. I could see that my main priority now is not updating myself with Facebook news, reading twitter religiously or blogging. In fact, they have been replaced with books marking, researching Maths’s teaching ideas, attempting Form 1 Maths questions, keying student’s progress and meditating in the car. Meditating in the car!? Ya, i mean self-reflecting while driving (not sleeping k?). Lol..

 

My life now is always filled with the stories of students, students and students. Though it has been the new 4th months now, I still find myself not bored thinking and talking about them (and people around me are getting bored of the stories T__T). No matter how awful they had broken me down with their mischievous behaviors and uncaring attitudes, I am still passionate to understand their phenomenology and teach the ways they learn best.

 

Each day, especially while I was driving, I will reflect on what I have and have not done in my lesson. How did my students responded? What are the successes and failures? How could I improve myself to be a better ‘CEO’ in the class? How could I make my students love and enjoy the subject? How can I unleash individual’s potential in such a limited time and such environment?  Etc.. etc.. etc..

 

teaching2 My participative kids.

teaching4Meaningful lesson about the value of collaboration with students at my Civic class.

 

I used to be a very occupied person back in the past 2.5 months where I hardly relax, always in tensed condition and wear my teacher’s cap all the time, even after work. I realize it is not healthy and it actually drained me off. As a result, I couldn’t even enjoy my job and weekends, which is really bad.

 

Probably, this is the reason why I am not blogging lately because whenever I want to blog, my ‘Police Traffic Mode’ will be turned on and it will stop me abruptly from doing non-related-to-teaching-and-coursework' activities. So bad ya? Well, I am not doing my work pun. Bad uh?

 

photoftheday6

 

When I couldn’t do what I love and seeing other bloggers updating their blogs almost daily make me jealous *pouted*. I want to blog like I used to. Post all those nice nice photos of places, food, people and myself. Write super long stories. Receive comments and etc. Well, I guess telling personal stories about myself in the class and writing small comments in students’ books (and read by other teachers and their own parents) are my new found hobby. They served the purposes (self satisfaction) too, right?

 

me I put a latest (tired looking) photo of me so that you wouldn’t forget me.. =P

 

Sob.. please miss me.
T____T

 

P/s: Oh dear, I’ve spent my 1 and a half hour blogging. I need to sleep now. Kthxbai.

P/s/s: I just realized that most of the photos I  posted here are from my civic classes. I have more ‘we’ time in civic classes that can allow me to snap some pictures. In the coming week, I will have no more civic classes due to the changes school timetable. Thinking about this make my heart ache. I will miss them. Would share more about this in the coming post =(

Be A Rainbow Babe~

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud because when you did, you’ll be the one who actually own the rainbow.

 

When you did, you will be the one who understand the beauty of a colorful rainbow by making the effort in creating one and sharing it with others. Probably, this is what they say you gain what you give. It takes me years to understand this as I was very much a self-centered person back then who didn’t value the meaning of ‘sharing’.

 

photoftheday65 One of my favorite photos from the album ‘Photo of The Day’ @Facebook.

 

Worse, I didn’t even know how to share a smile where most of the time, I was putting serious or grumpy face when I was a kid. Well, you can’t blame me when I was born as the only child in the family. It’s so hard not to value my ‘property’ when my parents hardly afford me new toys. Well, I don’t come from a wealthy family. Plus, there is no Facebook, Twitter or Google+ back then where ‘sharing buttons’ were unavailable. Lame =P

 

It’s amazing on how life experiences can change and shape a person’s perspective. As I am growing up, I perceive and learn things differently from people around me. I learn that to gain something, you have to genuinely create the intention and share it around. For instance, if you want happiness, create the happy mood in yourself and make the afford of creating jokes or simply smiles to others. If you want appreciation, learn to appreciate others. If you want money, work first.

 

Of course, this doesn’t come in an exact equation but take it as a general idea which I’ve recently discovered.

 

rainbow2

They are my cousins by the way =)

 

So, begin your day with a smile(s). You never know that how a simple smile can effortlessly lift up someone’s day, and even your own too. For sure, that someone includes me.

 

Smile to me in my comment box like this ------------> =)))

 

Notes: This photo was taken last year but edited recently with a quote from Dr. Maya Angelou. A very meaningful quote indeed. Love it so much.

'Something' Has Taught Me Something

*In the class*

Sitting at the best spot in one of the corner in my class, I thought it will give me new motivation for my left-over-assignment. Well, at least allow me to focus in my work. I have been sitting here for hours, yet, nothing had been done. Frustration and disappointment were so overwhelming which discouraged me to concentrate. I have been trying hard to give my best in my typing in spite of the noises, still my mind was being distracted. With the presence of my friends, my course mates, I hardly pay attention in my work.

3 hours have been wasted.

I wonder, how can I redeem them back? The more I think of the amount of work I can do in these 3 hours, the more I feel regret. I am running for my 14-days-marathon and almost half of my 14th day has been wasted.


What should I do?



Regret started haunting me. I thought this room is suppose to be empty, at least an hour. I know I shouldn't choose this spot at the very first place. I should pick somewhere better, somewhere quieter, somewhere comfortable and with electric cable. Maybe the library. Or I shall go back to my room instead.

Anyway, there is something pulling me to enter this room, convincing me to sit here and do my work. It is hard to describe what is the 'something' which had pulled me in, but all I can say it is my instinct, the inner energy
.

I know, my plan is not working accordingly and I don't want to do any last minute work (although I am still good in it.. right, popjammerz? haha..). After sitting here, at this exact spot I mentioned earlier, I discovered a few important lessons. I am surprise that I still can learn something at these moment.


Lessons:
1) True friend will never leave you.
2) Life is not about rushing, but it is about enjoying every moment we go through.
3) Be prepared with every possibility - Battle is never easy.


1) True friend will never leave you.

While I was busy focusing my mind into my work, I had almost forgotten my lunch. I thought my 3 balls of Ferrero Rocher Chocolate (which I've just received from my dear friend) will stop my stomach from rumbling. This friend of mine reminded me about my 'food storage system' and disallowed me to skip my feeding session. Knowing that I might skip my lunch, she offered to buy and send me lunch. Free delivery! Frankly, I am touched and I have no any other better words than:

"
Thank you Parima'.




Besides her, there are some of my friends who are trying to cheer me up by bringing some jokes. Thank you guys. I know your good intention and I can feel that. I am glad to have you in my life. Just, today is not my day. Do forgive me. If in normal days, I will joke like no tomorrow. Worse than a clown I should say. Lol...

I guess, I am nearing to my period time which causes me feeling a little uncomfortable. I can sense that the level of Estrogen and Progesterone are increasing in my body which unconsciously cause me feel a little moody and uncomfortable (hormonal changes). Well, girls~

:)

2) Life is not about rushing, but it is about enjoying every moment we go through.

Yes. This is one of the very important lesson I learn today. I have been stressing and rushing lately over my task and I just don't feel good about it. Not even a single happiness pop up and say hello to me. What a tragedy. And you know what, I am going to stop that. I am taking things slowly and I am enjoying every bits of my life - while running this marathon.




3) Be prepared with every possibility - Battle is never easy.

Even though I failed to do my work according to my plan today, I am accepting it and promise will do better tonight, and the coming tomorrows. There is no point regretting over the past as no one can fix it nor change the history. What we can do now is to focus in the presence and plan for the future. Battle is never easy but it is not impossible to win.

I should say, 'something' which has attracted me to sit on this spot has taught me something important for my life. It gives me a new insight, new perspectives and understanding. I am once again, a happy eggie.. ;D


Thank you 'something'..


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P/s: If you are sensitive and observant enough with your surrounding and your inner voice, 'something' will emerge and you will learn something new - either good or bad.

P/s/s: I'm referring 'Something' = instinct, inner energy, self talk

P/s/s/s: Thank you for your encouraging comments in my previous post. I am gaining new energy from you and thanks a million.. All the best to you too! muacks! :D

Silence Room

Sitting in front of the classroom with my lappy on the table, I felt so bored. Although I managed to access to the provided internet, nothing can be done much as the line is so slow. The speed of the loading page in Facebook, MSN, Bloggerunited, Plurk and even Blogger is so slow and I have no patience in waiting. Just half an hour ago, I was uploading my photos on my 'interesting trip' (I know Caffery and Andrew are waiting for it) but failed, miserably.

In order not to waste my time, I decided to upload them after class.

Being alone, in a corner, my mind is actively processing on both new and old data. I have been thinking a lot about my past and at the same time my future, I mean right at this exact spot which I am sitting now. Most people believe that, thinking of the past will only stop oneself from developing while putting mind in the future is called day-dreaming.

In my case, I will name the above statement as fallacy. No one can prove that recalling the past will stop oneself from improving while being few steps ahead from the presence worth nothing. Instead, I can develop pretty well as I can see both my weakness and strength from the past and empower them for my presence and future.

That is what I call strategy of self improvement. At the same time, I start to understand why we are forced to learn history in high school. There are always reasons behind an incident. I guess I am right.

This silence room has allowed me to develop my critical and creative thinking. I love silence room (but not for too long! I will die of boredom!)

Some of my photos which I had taken awhile ago in this room.




My new nail colour! Hahaha... See ya. Tata.
Oopss.. My lecturer is coming... :P

An Opened Orange Mug

Note: This is not just a story about me but something to be shared about human relationship.


"Draw a picture to represent the value you have. Then share the reason why you think it suits you most", instructed by Nicole, my lecturer.


I was wondering why I pick the orange crayon (although there are another 11 choices) and drew a mug with 2 ears. At the very first place, I thought of drawing a window and I did. However, it had been erased by me. Why? Because it looked more like a box then a window. Lolx.. Then, I come with an idea, why not draw a big cup instead?


So here it is, an orange mug with two big ears.

Say it look like a mug! Haha.. XD


  • Orange: Cheerful, energetic and sporting
  • Mug: Openness

After drawing our own symbol, each one of us explained the meaning of the object and how it matches our value in a small group.


Once the mentioned procedures were completed, the interesting part of the session was the validation part - in which every member had to give responses, comments or compliment to the member. I shall say this is the best part of the whole session!


Yes! Best part!


I remembered how I complimented others for their positive values and how the drawing matches them. It was an indirect process where we were actually seeing the person as a whole, not part(s) of them. Amazingly, we can only see the good side of them. I guess Gestalt is right.

Conflict, judgement and negative thought on the person are slowly evaporating and they are replaced by better understanding, acceptance and trust. It is amazing how a sharing group can change each member's perspective and I guess this is why counseling group is being introduced in Western countries.


Here is the best part of my story. My real confession.
A dedication to my coursemates who might bump into this post and read it.

I was a bit nervous when it was my turn to accept validation from the others. However, when the session started, I realized I hardly look straight into their eyes. I was too paisheh la..


*blush*
*blush*
*blush*


They showered me with uncountable positive feedbacks and comments on both my drawing and personality. Plus, they agreed the orange mug suits me well! Wu la la~


I never know I am being watched and analyzed by my friends since my very first semester. Oh my. That's sound scary uh? Haha.. Just joking. I was touched by their compliments and those conversations are still spinning in my mind now. Girls and boys, thank for the great moment. I will keep them safely here ---> my heart!


*hugs*
*hugs*


Other than compliments, I am glad to know that my friends do accept me as a friend and enjoy my company all this while. They even thank me for my contribution to the class.


*touched*





I don't know why but love my course even more compare to my previous semesters. It is amazing on how the teaching of the professional lecturers and the syllabus can bring out the best in us. I start to realize the positive changes in everyone of us since last semester and I'm grateful. Seriously, I am.

We are improving from time to time, exploring the positive values in us and live with them. Some people might ignore self exploration, forcing themselves being someone else. Trust me, at the end of the day, you will be exhausted and lost.


At the same time, this group session has make me realized the importance of building a good relationship with people. A good relationship can bring you positive energy, boosting up your motivation and making you stronger. You can feel it if you have a bunch of close friends who have been supporting you all the time.




How to build a good relationship with others?
Honest. Trust. Sincere. Understanding. Respect. Acceptance. Patience.

I Want To Be Somebody!

This is a continuous post from the previous one. Do read this if you haven't so that you are not lost... ;)

Yup! I do have my own dream and I believes everyone of you here have one (or more), am I right? Be it a small-tiny dream or big-stupendous one, it doesn't matter. As long as we have dreams, and stick ourselves to them, I'm sure we can get out from our boring routine. Right?

So, what's on my mind right now? Who I actually want to be for that...

"Somebody?".
"Somebody" here sounds.... cheeky..

Honestly, I'm still thinking of who I want to be? Who should I choose?

Nicolekiss who travel all around the world and at the same time being a columnist for the local newspaper (Thestar). She's a well-known blogger! However, I don't have $$$ to spend on travel. Sigh.. maybe I should be someone who can earn more $$$ first?


Maybe...
I can be like Timothy Tiah or Ming Shen who own a big company (best in Malaysia and Singapore) which is called Nuffnang. Isn't that great? Making business and making friends via blogging at the same time? Wow.. I wanna be like them!

Timothy Tiah
Ming Shen

However, I can't imagine myself building an advertising company called... 'Curryegg.Com'. It sounds like food and not fabulous (but I think it's cute.. haha). Can you imagine Nike ads under Curryegg.Com company and being placed in every blog? Will it sound, humorous? It sounds like food, isn't it? Ok ok. I know they are food!!! Curry and egg. There are quite a number of people asking me why I choose Curryegg as my name. Lol.. maybe you should read this if I haven't answer you.

Maybe I should stop dreaming of being like Timothy and Ming Shen.
Instead, I wanna be like...

The seductive woman like Jessica Alba...



Hot body and attractive features like her have become every girl's dreams (I mean majority of us). Having the chance to appear in the magazine, newspaper, television, posters and even in the handphone wallpaper are FANTABULASTIC!!!! ( Thank Jeffro for giving this term to me.. hehe..)

But.. sigh.. I don't have a hot body nor beautiful features like her. Maybe I should go for plastic surgery? Serious? Nah.. Just joking... :P

Or I should be like Natalie Portman...


She's intelligence, sexy and talented. Ahww... I love her.. ;)
Or even better.. Maria Sharapova who is now a young millionaire.


Millionaire?
Of course she is one of them. She earns from her Tennis games and advertisements. Besides, she has her own perfume!

I want to be like her (a sportswoman) and own myself a perfume with the name of "Curryegg perfume"..
Now, who wanna buy? I will take the order.
*giggles*

Buy for my perfume?

If I don't get any order for my perfume, then I shall rub off the crazy idea and look for someone else. Em... maybe I should be...


Yes.
How about be like Mr.Bean? He's a doctor (am I right?) and at the same time an artist for his show 'Mr. Bean'. I love watching his show when I was a child. Whenever I imagine myself brushing my teeth and changing clothes in the small car, I will start to laugh out loud.. muahahah....

Yes. I wanna be like him, a joker. But shit! I am not good in acting nor joking. No one will sign me for a contract. Sigh...

*erasing my plan*

Now I know...
I want to be "Somebody" who is really "Somebody".
Who else other than Bill Gates?

He has the brain, wealth and luck. Isn't that great? And most importantly, he's a Billionaire!!! Pwweettt.... owning the widest, biggest, glamorous Microsoft company like him.. ;D


Ok. You caught me.
I know nothing about software, not even a simple code like CSS, HTML nor.. Java script. Sigh.. I should take Computer Science instead of Counseling. *Heart-broken*
:(

Maybe I can be like the respectful Venerable Master Hsing Yun by serving and helping the people with his knowledge, love and care.


I love reading his book and intended to follow his footsteps. Ahh ahh ah... Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be a nun.. I mean, I wish to learn more about Buddha teaching about enlightenment and purpose of life.

Maybe I should agree with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's idea on this beautiful quote:

"Human evolution has two seps: the first is from being a 'somebody' to being a 'nobody', and the second is from being a 'nobody' to being 'everybody'. this knowledge can bring sharing and caring throughout the world."

Frankly, I agree with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Sometimes being a "somebody" isn't sound good nor perfect. You will start creating ego in yourself, alienating others who are not in A class and being very negative with people. As a result, you will never feel love and warm from the people (who are not in the same class as you). Why? Because you start to draw a line, segregating your world from others. For example, if you are someone famous like Michael Jordon, President Ma Ying-Jeou, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Britney Spears or Jay Chow, you will hardly see them without body-guards.

Of course, being glamorous is so cool. Who don't wanna be one of the star if there is a chance? However, the world will be slightly different by then. As for me, I hope to be "everybody" instead of "somebody" because there are so much to learn from people and not to forget, the environment.

My conclusion: I want to be "myself" who can mix with "everybody".


So, how about you? What is your opinion on "Somebody", "Nobody" and "Everybody"? Which one do you want to be and why? Do share your opinion here. It's OK either you agree or disagree with my point. There will be no harm having a small discussion with us.

Five Year Old Blind Genius Pianist

I love Facebook!
I love all my friends in Facebook!
I love every awesome stuffs in Facebook!

Facebook!
Facebook!
Facebook!

Heeelllppp! I couldn't stop myself from falling deeper for Facebook. Why? You ask me why? Who can resist all those cool facilities and games in the largest social community (Facebook) right now? I don't know why I couldn't stop myself from mentioning the word "FaceB*#k". God! Please save me...

It's all because of my secondary school teacher, Mrs Joanne... She has caused my unstoppable tears.. Sob... She had sent me a very touching video clip in Facebook. My eyes still filling with tears right now. Gosh..

This is the best ever video clip I had ever watched!
(Psst.. Prepare a box of tissue before watching this)






It is hard for me to believe her ability in playing the piano so good although she's blind. She can play any song after hearing it once. ONCE! Can you believe it? She's really incredible! I feel embarrass with myself. I've been learning piano since age 7 but I can't play as well as her.



OMG! Digg me a hole and I want to hide my face in it.. (#_#)

I never realize that I've been given everything ever since I was born. I've a pair of good functioning eyes, ears, nose,mouth and body but I never appreciate them. Instead, I complain them a lot. Sorry mum, starting from now on I will appreciate my eyes and my height. Lol...

Watching this video clip has really touched my heart. This little girl is blind but. However, is very talented in music which has made her a genius. I'm not just admiring her ability in playing the piano well but her strong determination and desire in learning the piano as well. This little girl has never give up of hope although she live in the world of darkness ever since she was born. We shall learn from her.

OMG!
My eyes are filling with tears again. Sob...
Again, thank you Mrs Joanne for sending this video clip to me. hugs..

How To Combine Beauty And Self-Confidence?

Nowadays, more and more people are lacking of self confidence to their own physical appearance. This is how eating disorders like Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa happen mostly among teenagers.



Besides, beauty and plastic surgery center are mushrooming in any corner of the world. You can get any beauty service starting from head to toe as long as you've sufficient cash!

Honestly, these services are good in order to help their clients to be more confidence and love themselves more. I believe you've experienced on how you love your new colourful shinning nails, or your new hair styles or your new nose. But believe me, you will never satisfy.

I have always wanted to know the secret of combining beauty and self-confidence. If you know me personally, you'll find out that I'm not a kind of girl with much confidence when it comes to beauty. Maybe it's because I'm not being categorized in the A crowd- where you will get popular people with beautiful features, fashionable wearing, great personality, excellent achievement, and etc.


Besides, people around me do effect the way I behave. Who are they? Parents, relatives and friends (This's what we call Social Psychology). As I've mentioned in my previous post, I indicate that it's human nature who love to compare among each other.

My mum used to say, " Why are your eyes are so small unlike your mum. I must have picked you somewhere in the garbage". For some of you who had heard my rants about how small my eyes are in my previous post, this is the reason I guess. Haha.. blaming my parents. But no worries, I love my single eye lit right now. To make my eyes larger, I can always use mascara or eye shadow.. Right?

According to Psychology, the influence of parents are great and it will influence the child behave along the growing process. I still remember I watched a show about Michael Jackson before, about 4 years ago. The host of the show asked him on what had made his mind to do plastic surgery?

And his answer is, "My dad is my biggest influence. He hates his children for being black. This has made me wanted to be White with higher social level". Note: This is not the exact dialog he had made but the idea is there.


If his dad heard that, he must be very sorry. Look, how parents effect their child greatly? I prefer parents to love and support their child by showing unconditional cares. Because, if they don't the child will suffer. There will be bigger challenges out there- the media and society.

I'd a long conversation with my long-lost-friend in MSN yesterday and she told me that she doesn't have the confidence to her appearance ever since she was small. Of course, my reaction was like.. "Uhh?". For sure, she's a beautiful girl with a lot of admires. I just couldn't believe that a beautiful girl like her will lack of confidence too. She can be a cover girl if a magazine company approach her. Serious!

The question is, why does she feel so bad with her appearance? Of course, the first reason will be family, next friends and society. I guess she did too much of comparison with her siblings, friends and models. I know how she feels. However, I feel there's no point comparing physical appearance as we're all gifted by God. We should be grateful with what we have.


I always believe that every human has his/her own beauty and unique. Take for an example, to select a professional model like in The American Next Top Model, she must have her own unique look and most importantly the skills of being in front of the camera and audience. That's mean, brain and beauty!!! Yup. Other than beauty, she/he must have brain too! I prefer a person to have brain, rather than beauty itself because beauty will fade with time whereas brain will go with time. Agree?




So, stop worrying about your appearance. We're beautiful remember? Well, how should we combine beauty and self-confidence? I would like to conclude: When one has high self confidence to himself/herself, beauty will come eventually.

High Self-Confidence = Beautiful

Let's read this aloud.....

Yes! I'm beautiful!!!

The Blue Blue Sky That I love

Surprise!!!
I never realize that 3point8 has posted something similar with tricky my post in the beginning of April and it makes me feel like I'm a copy-cat.. Plagiarism.. Lol..

I'm not!

And I should defense myself here.. Lol...
I don't like to copy other's work and I should name this as... Curryegg's Ego. Haha.. Few minutes ago, I was kinda curious.. How on earth will my idea be similar as him? I mean... ours idea.. Lol.. both of us were talking the same stuff: To stop blogging. Muahaha... How could that happen? Even Vortrack and Kennysia did something similar.. Haha...

Should I say, great mind think alike?
;D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some photos which I'd captured few days ago and I kinda like the effect.








Looking at the sun, it reminds me that... there's always hope behind a problem. Just like the sun, being covered by the thick clouds. No matter how thick and huge the clouds are (challenges), the sun (success) will appear again once the clouds being blew away by the wind (effort)..

Hard work always pay....
:)
