Went to Penang for two days, for a short vacation, luckily I'm not scheduled on any shifts for these days. Got a free ride from my uncle while he went there for his business.
Haven't been there for 4 years. Last time I went was to visit my new-born niece. And slightly before that was for LEO Forum. I could still remember some landmarks though, for instance: the penang bridge, haha... Gurney drive, the way to the famous kopitiam - Genting, rough idea on how to get to my cousin's house etc.
There's no need to ask what I did there as Penang is well known as the food haven. I ate Asam Laksa, Char Koay Teow, Prawn Mee, 2 plates of Chee Cheong Fun and the coconut tart. I have been controlling the amount of food consumed lately, I bet if my colleagues saw how much I ate at one go, they would be flabbergasted. Eating all these delicacies within such a short stay gave me a sense of satisfaction. Guess I should have short trips more often, exercise my intestines and de-stressing at the same time.
All righto, start to feel some rumble in my tummy now, better get some sleep now... tschao!!!
Level of Commitment
The word "commitment" confuses us from time to time...
Case 1: Say you work only twice a week compared to someone who works 5 days a week... Who's more committed? Does it actually base on the working hours? Or does it still falls back into the "how productive your work is" principle?
Case 2: Say the time you spent with your spouse/ partner is short, and that's because you are busy earning money for a living compared to because you find some difficulties in your relationship and chose to hide-away from it just to make sure you both stay together forever?
Different people has different definitions of each particular word, what helps them to link a word and its definitions is a picture that they form in their mind which they learnt or saw throughout their lifes. And that's when different people has different priorities in life, it may be cash, food, education etc. Thus, before labelling someone as selfish, make sure you know them well enough before letting out your words, for words that comes out from a human's tongue is like a dagger stabbed through the person's heart. And you can never mend it back, the scar has formed.
What I've learnt from my NLP for dummies is that we can't judge someone from part of his/her actions. People are much more than their behaviour- Behaving "badly" doesn't make a person a bad person. It's essential to separate the behaviour from the person. It may be a person finds himself/ herself in an environment that stops them from being the best they can be. So by helping someone develop capabilities and skills or to move to a more conducive environment can often change someone's behaviour dramatically and propel them to new levels of excellence.
Back to the word "commitment", have u got the answers?

What am I supposed to do???
At times I would just stop and reevaluate, whether what I've done is what I wanted, whether my choice will bring me further on to enjoy life fully...
My job: I'm loving every bit of it! Meeting people from different walks of life, each with their very own characteristics, which makes them special. The part that some people kept finding fault in me just make my smile fade. So much of teaching me about positive thinking yea... Hope that they focus more on my improvements. It's all right, probably I'll introduce Law of Attraction to them soon.
The course that I want to pursue: There's so many choices. It's good to have choices than to have none. Somehow it's making me cracking up...lol... So I'm taking another 4 months break, to look into every single aspects and what I'll work best in.
********
Had a little catch-up session with Mei Xin & Yi Lyn. Haven't done that for about 8 months... Man, that's long....... Do I look thinner?! (Syok sendiri again...)
Of course before that I met up with Sen Ming & Nikki, just that the pics ain't in my hand yet...=]

Something I would like to share:::
James 3
Taming the Tongue
1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt[f] water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
No show...
Indeed, life is tough...

4 years for you to train phsyically and mentally...

Chong Wei will be playing soon... should be "the" game... Get your popcorns ready people!
Did you all watch China versus Poland? Was really a tough fight... As usual the Chinese (China Chinese) with the quadruple X factor won.
One thing I find funny is normally when people scores it's either they high 5 or give words of encouragement. But for Mateusiak and Kostiucyzk it's different. They use their racket to wack each others butt. haha. They don't talk much either.
Til then... Chong Wei now...

Cho~~~~
Shaiiikes... KKK and Tan Boon Heong lost. Man... Lee Chong Wei is our only hope... for a medal..
Anyway, did you all notice? Each time KKK scores, he'll shout "CHO~".
Lots to learn from the China team, either you win or leave it. They performed marvellously so far. They really do whatever it takes to break the record. So why can't the Malaysians? Can't say much, after all, I'm just a spectator, wouldn't know how it feels like to represent the country for Olympics.
Went for Hypertitis A & B jab this morning. The doc saw me holding a story book, eventually introduced me to a book which she thought it's story is heart-wrenching. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

Short synopsis:
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life… even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less?
Life is just unfair ain't it... Whoever has this book, mind lending it to me?!?! =] (I'm waiting...)
