分手后

第一最好不相見,如此便可不相戀。
第二最好不相知,如此便可不相思。
第三最好不相伴,如此便可不相欠。
第四最好不相惜,如此便可不相憶。
第五最好不相愛,如此便可不相棄。
第六最好不相對,如此便可不相會。
第七最好不相誤,如此便可不相負。
第八最好不相許,如此便可不相續。
第九最好不相依,如此便可不相偎。
第十最好不相遇,如此便可不相聚。
但曾相見便相知,相見何如不見時。
安得與君相訣絕,免教生死作相思。

你可以让女人哭、可以让她受委屈
但不要让她沉默无言。
因为沉默是一种最深的伤痛、
无言是一个女人最悲的哭声。
你要知道、女人最爱倾诉
不管生活有多少苦难、无论她有没有心事
她都想和你讲述关于她的一切、
这是她爱你的最好方式。

如果有一天、她突然安静了
你便走到了后悔的边缘

Men are like Bluetooth, he is connected to you when you are nearby, but searches for other devices when you are away.
Woman are like Wifi, she wants to connect with all the devices, but the device connects to the Wifi that gives the strongest signal.

1.你是为了企业而存在,并非企业是为了你而存在
2.如果你不能为企业创造相应的价值,那么企业就算给你的薪水可观,最多也就是一个月;
3.公司交给你一件事,不单单是希望你能100%的完成,更希望你能够200%的完成,因为只有当你能完成200%的时候,公司才能够有成长。
4.做任何事,有热情,有理智,有创意。
5.首先管理好自己,其次才能管理好团队。律己不能,何能律他人?
6.与大家同成长,这个过程,有酸甜苦辣,无论我最后能否成功,将会是我的宝贵经验。

Brothel - Church

In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was right opposite to a church. The church and its congregation started a campaign to block the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was burnt to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the brothel owner sued the church authorities on the grounds that the church through its congregation and prayers was ultimately responsible for the destruction of his brothel, either through direct or indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the act of God. As the case made it way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:

"I don’t know how I’m going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a brothel owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church that doesn’t."

牽手

因為愛著你的愛 因為夢著你的夢
所以悲傷著你的悲傷 幸福著你的幸福
因為路過你的路 因為苦過你的苦
所以快樂著你的快樂 追逐著你的追逐

因為誓言不敢聽 因為承諾不敢信
所以放心著你的沈默 去說服明天的命運
沒有風雨躲得過 沒有坎坷不必走
所以安心地牽你的手 不去想該不該回頭

也許牽了手的手 前生不一定好走
也許有了伴的路 今生還要更忙碌
所以牽了手的手 來生還要一起走
所以有了伴的路 沒有歲月可回頭

**

今生無緣 來世再見

Melbourne trip 2011

My flight was the last few to leave KL for the night. I sat with 2 Finnish guys. The girl at the next seat, she was using all kind of cream throughout the trip, few hours before landing she even did a mask. her heels was also taken off, and change into a cotton pair of sandal.

Upon reaching, immigration was pretty fast, they didn't bother to ask me much question since i stated clearly where i would be heading to, and only for several days. Custom was not so nice since i was traveling alone, so had to go lane 6 where there was suppose to be dog sniffing, the dog don't even wanna care bout me, coz i got nothing tat attracts him.

Once outside the airport, the bus to the city was very easy to spot, and people are also very friendly. the bus even has a TV to advertise what is good in town, the bus driver was very nice and friendly too, very helpful as well.

I felt that there are super alot of Asian in tat city, almost everywhere i go sure can heard people speaking an asian language.

1st day morning was mainly around CBD area, along Swanston st (1895) and had lunch at a Jap cafe in Chinatown. Afternoon i went down to St Kilda beach, where i walk more than 4km.. the beach was very windy and sunny, such a pretty place to be. after tat went to see the Melbourne musuem, then walked along bourke st all the way back to spencer st. it was such a nice walk, as there was alot of people walking down the streets and i felt very safe, unlike if i was to walk along Jalan Bukit Bintang or such areas. At night went down to Docklands to see the night scene. I then roam around the CBD area without feeling worried about my safety. It would have been a different case if i was to be in Malaysia.

second day had brunch at a super packed cafe in Degraves Street. then off to Melbourne central to meet up with 2 of my fren who are studying in the city. Had a great chat over drinks (and food) at Max Brenner QV. after tat walked all the way to Victoria market, bought some souvenir there. Then headed back to Melbourne central to catch a train to South Yerra to see Chapel st. such a nice place la, how i wish Malaysia had such street.

It has been a very fulfilling trip for me. although many people say that it is too short (me too say so), but i know in my heart that this is what i want for now. it won't have happen without divine guidance and all the prayer that people have said on my behalf. i was able to see the most important places in Melbourne. the next trip must certainly be much longer, if possible even the great ocean road. i would love to drive on a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide.

I would certainly remember this trip for a long time to come.

Total damage to my pocket is A$ 200. Some of the expenses was paid/ sponsored by my friend. Accommodation was taken care of, SIM card and tram ticket was also prepared.
Thank you dear for hosting me this trip.

戒指 (转贴)

「戒指」就是「戒」掉「指」責別人的手。

這句話對我有如當頭棒喝,讓我對「戒指」的定義有新的詮釋。俯首看著自己手上戴著的戒指,
原來它除了是定情物之外,還有另一個提醒,就是「戒掉指責別人的手」。每次吵架,幾乎都與「指責」有關。

「你怎麼一直看電視?」
「你怎麼忘記倒垃圾?」
「你怎麼那麼晚回來?」
「你怎麼不幫忙做點家事。」

面對我的指責,他原本都默默接受,久了,他心裡頭不舒服,開始反駁。原本只是雞毛蒜皮小事,但兩人都不想輸,在言語上你來我往,結果越說越激動,最後竟是相吼,不是我氣得奪門而出,就是他大聲關上房門,兩敗俱傷。事後,我總是懊惱萬分,為什麼不好好溝通?

「指責」必有一方贏一方輸。然而,婚姻並不是要爭那一方贏那一方輸,而是要雙贏。爭什麼?吵什麼?其實大家還不都是為了這個家!如果能多用體諒替代指責,結果就會有天壤之別。現在,每當我又想指責他或孩子時,「戒指」就會像暮鼓晨鐘提醒我,少責備,多體恤,這對婚姻和家庭絕對有益處。

戒指可以廣泛運用在個人行為上,多自省自然就少指責。

沒那麼簡單 (投资版)

沒那麼簡單 就能漲到 破一千七百点
尤其是在 看過了那麼多的崩盤
總是不安 只好抽單
誰謀殺了我的樂觀

沒那麼簡單
Remisier喊買 別的全不管
就算再好 也許漲也許跌各一半
买了就跌 一久也習慣
用完Trust Fund 再來用T+3

感覺打底就買東買西
感覺到頂就放空货期
论坛說的話 隨便聽一聽 自己作決定
不想拥有太多情绪 打开新闻配财经

在周末晚上 关掉了论坛 舒服窝在被单里
炒股没那麼容易 大户庄家有他的脾气
过了爱投机的年纪 轰轰烈烈不如平静
投机没有那麼容易 才会特别让人著迷
什麼都不懂的年纪
曾经捞一笔 所以最开心 曾经
亏钱最伤心 但却最动心 的记忆

Effective meetings

BEFORE THE MEETING:

Go in with an objective
- What is it you want out of this meeting? Think: Outcome-thinking.
- Keeps you focused on what you need to achieve in the session.

Prepare an agenda and share them ahead of time.
- It helps keep everyone on track
- Allows people to come prepared

Come prepared with a recommended solution and then a backup solution (with accompanying justification).
- Meetings are not avenues to brainstorm
- Should people find your first recommendation inappropriate, you'll always have another to present to them
- It helps with progress (e.g. the meeting and your task)

DURING THE MEETING:

Chair the meeting, don't sit in the chair
- As chairperson, you have to steer the discussion in the right direction.

Stay focused and attentive
- Everyone's time is valuable. If we all just paid attention and maintained silence when someone's speaking, we'd be able to get through the meeting as quickly as possible (and avoid the jam!).

Get and give feedback but be concise
- Use the meeting to get/give feedback on your/peers' ideas.
- Remember to use the Feedback Sandwich. Start with a compliment, proceed with a negative feedback (be specific about what's wrong with the idea), and end with another compliment.

Two choices

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.
It works not because it settles the question for you, but because,
in that brief moment when the coin is in the air,
you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

一生完美的爱情要求女大男三岁

你希望你的爱人和你的生理年龄相差几岁?

面对你一生的爱人,你想不想和她(他)一起自然的死去?

“和你白头偕老又相随,和你朝朝暮暮过一生”。这是每一对挚恋的情侣和每一个渴望真爱的人对一生完美爱情的美好憧憬。“不求同年同月同日生,但求同年同月同日死”。这是每一对情深意笃的爱人都不会避讳言出的真爱期望。试想,对于立下“携子之手,与尔偕老”之心理契约的眷属,哪一个会愿意眷恋无奈地看到自己先于爱人而离去,又有哪一个会愿意撕心裂肺地看到爱人先于自己而离去?不难认识到,如果一对相爱的人,在暮年时分,不能白头偕老、共赴黄泉,对于任何一方都将是“凄凄惨惨切切”的无限伤痛,和“十年生死两茫茫,不思量、自难忘”的无限悲切。所以,能白头偕老,共同走向人生的终点,成为了一种一生完美爱情的必要条件。然而,留意观察,又会发现:相濡以沫、风雨同舟的一对爱人到了老年阶段,大多是年迈体衰的妻子勤苦辛劳地照料更加年迈体衰的丈夫,然后郁郁含悲地送他先行,留下锥心刺骨的生离死别之痛。这样的爱情是美好的,但结局不够完美。

据新华社电,世界卫生组织在2007年5月18日发布的“2007年世界卫生统计报告”显示:中国男性和女性的平均寿命分别为71岁和74岁,也就是说,女性高出男性刚好3岁。由此可见,力求一生完美的爱情、负责的爱情,最完美的搭配就是女大男三岁!

然而,受中国传统观念的影响,大多数人在择偶时倾向于“男大女”。由以上分析可知,这是一种缺乏远见的短视行为;更是男方对于女方的一种不负责任的侵略行为。其实,在这一点上,中国古人早有洞察:“女大三、抱金砖”这句看似轻佻迷信的物质层面的经典描述背后,就深刻而又丰富地寓意着人生圆满的爱情的在生理年龄方面具备的特征。

综上,请各位注意,为了完美的爱情:
一、男生要找比自己大三岁的女孩。
二、女孩要找比自己小三岁的男孩。
三、不符合以上两点的自己看着办。

注:以上论述为生理年龄,现实操作中还要求女孩的心理年龄要小于男生的心理年龄。

找老婆就得找愛發脾氣的女人

永遠不會發脾氣的女人就如同一杯白開水,解渴,卻無味。
而發脾氣的女人正如烈酒一般,刺激而令人無法忘懷。
你遲到,她向你發脾氣,是因為她緊張你,她怕你出了什麼意外。
你抽煙,她向你發脾氣,是因為她擔心你的身體健康。
你喝酒,她向你發脾氣,是因為她擔心你酒醉後沒有人照顧,怕你會出什麼事,留下她一個人。
你不愛洗澡,她向你發脾氣,是希望你有乾淨的生活習慣,能健健康康的生活。
你亂扔髒衣服,她向你發脾氣,是希望你能多動動,而不是吃飽了只會趴在電腦邊或者躺在床上長膘。
你對她大聲說話,她向你發脾氣,是希望你能溫柔而細語的跟她說話,希望感受到你的呵護。
你對她的話視而不見,她向你發脾氣,是希望你能把她放在心裡面,希望她說的話你都能認認真真的對待。
你說她有這毛病那毛病,她向你發脾氣,是想自己在你的心裡永遠是完美的,聽到你的指指點點她很鬱悶。

你總是忙不停,她向你發脾氣,是因為你都沒有時間來陪她聊天,或者抱抱她,她感覺被你忽略了。
你忘記她的生日,她向你發脾氣,是因為你對她來說很重要,她並不會要求一個陌生人記住她的生日。
你身上被發現有別的女人的香味,她向你發脾氣,是因為她在乎你,你是她的所有,她不想跟別人分享你。
女人是最講理的動物,她的脾氣往往導因于各式各樣的理由。
女人也是最不講理的動物,因為她的理由經常令人無法理解。
女人可以為了一件小得不能再小的事,發一場大得不能再大的脾氣。
因為女人對身邊的男人有所要求,有所期望,所以常常會失望、失落。
因此,女人容易對男人發脾氣。
身邊有個會向你發脾氣的女人,其實是一件多麼幸福的事!
而身邊有一個會讓自己發脾氣的男人,是對女人最大的折磨,也是莫大的幸福。
珍惜你身邊那個愛生氣的女人,因為那是在乎的表現,而且發脾氣的女人也很可愛哦~~~
假如有一天,她不在為你生氣,留下的只有漆黑的房間,慌亂的心跳,述說著心靈深處的痛楚。
那寂寞的思念,那暗淡的惆悵,還有那幸福的幻覺,獨自囈語

Outward Bound School (OBS) Lumut 2011

Back to basic, eat only what is given, do things as instructed.

Day 1- Saturday
Gathered early in the morning then set out from the gathering point. Stop at Rawang R&R for breakfast then toilet break at 2 more places. After the toll, it took quite a long time to get to Lumut, so deep in. There was a roadblock along the road into Lumut, 1 of the bus got stopped by Police/ JPJ (they want $$$ ba).
NO Phone, No money, No IC/Passport, surrender all food stuff, surrender all electronic items.

Day 2- Sunday
This is the day when all the activities started. Each group has a few Watch (team), and activities are carried of in group, but each Watch does it together. We learn the different ways of tying the rope, how to build tent for group and also building the tent for individual camping. Group tent are build by using 1 sheet or more for the ‘roof’ and side ‘walls’, and another sheet is place on the floor as a place to sleep. For individual, only 1 sheet is use for everything, wrap the sheet of tent on a rope and it forms the whole tent. After the mini learning session, we played a game where the group is divided into 2 teams, and each team has to move to the opposite side. each time only 1 person is allowed to move, you are not allowed to ‘overtake’ or jumps pass your own teammate and you can only jump across ONE person from the other team if needed. It’s a game to see how well we co-ordinate and work together, after all this is all about team building.
After the ‘chair’ session, we move on to another activity, climbing the ropes. It’s something like many rows of ####. It was not difficult, but can be pretty tiring as it requires strength to pull yourself up, as well as overcome the fear of heights. It is an introduction for another up coming activity. In the afternoon, we learn how to use the compass, read maps, and measure the distance and how to select the most suitable route. After the briefing, we were given places in the form of 6 digit compass readings. After confirming the location with our instructor, we pick a leader, pace counter, navigator, and tracker. This is the first trip into the jungle, and the instructor is asking us to go in along as he believes that we can do it. The starting point was to climb up a steep hill, it was a tough start but it made later parts feel much easier. It was not a long path, but we got ‘lost’ at a few points as the road can be confusing and both looks like the right path. We manage to finish it in 1 hour; the fastest record is 45 mins. After dinner was a briefing for our first expedition into the jungle and subsequently camping by a lake side. We was given a list of items that need to be brought like the backpack, 1 gallon bottles, jerry can (super heavy stuff), cooking utensils, tent sheets, tent pins, mess tin (for eating and cooking), map, compass, and etc. apart from those item, we also had to pack our own personal belongings and we was also given food stuff to be carried to the camp site.

Day 3- Monday
Morning after breakfast, we pack our lunch into the mess tin. After another short briefing with our instructor (which followed us on our tracking), we set out for the camp site. We had to go through 4 peaks before we can reach the actual camp site that we would spend the night. It took us a long time before to reach the first peak. We keep climbing up and up, and thought we had reach, each time being told that it was nearby already and that we have to go on much higher. Peak 2 to peak 3 was pretty fast even thought the distance is about the same as before, maybe because the path was smoother and not much steep uphill. Throughout the whole tracking journey, I vomited 7 times, whatever I ate came out, so I basically was running on ‘my own fats?’ since even water also make me puke. the last time was shocking to me and those around me, I actually vomited blood. *faint* After peak 4, it was downhill all the way. My teammate offered to carry my bag for me coz they say I look so white, like a sheet of plain paper. Luckily I didn’t faint in the jungle, if not they sure will throw me down the hill. =.= just joking, they are great people, I noe they won’t do that to me. They were very supportive always. I saw a coal power plant after peak 4, the coals have been spread out on the ‘road’ and I thought it was a runway. I was thinking why would someone build an airport in the middle of no where, then my fren said it’s not an airport but power plant. I would consider myself a living test for the whole team, but they was a great company to be with, a very supportive team. Upon reaching the campsite, my instructor asked me to sleep on the bench. It is a another groups campsite, and another instructor thought I was sleeping there while my team already started work so he woke me up and send me away, which after that he only know that my instructor ask me to rest there was he can keep an eye on me. Before the sun finish work for the day, we quickly setup the tents and start to prepare food for dinner. Those who wanna have a bath (just dip in water la) did so in the lake, but girls were given priority and had a timeframe given before the guys can go near that area. Dinner was pretty nice; it was in fact well cooked. Some of them were very creative in mix and matching the food that was provided. After a short briefing, everyone was off to prepare things that are needed for the next day.

Day 4- Tuesday
After spending the night “under the stars and moonlight”, it was time to head back to base camp. Some of the team woke up super early to cook the breakfast and pack lunch in the mess tin. The breakfast was instant noodles, but it was super salty. Lunch was rice and another item. I ask to follow the van back as I wasn’t feeling well, and am afraid that I would slow down the whole team again. Driving back also took awhile, as the place is not really very nearby, had to pass few traffic lights. Upon reaching back to the base, I helped to unload those stuff that followed the van. After tat ‘report’ to medical bay, and rested there till lunch time and waited for my team to reach back before helping them to wash the items used before keeping it back in the store room. After finish washing all the items that need to be kept, we had a rest till dinner time. After dinner was another briefing, we thought next day we would be learning whaling and is able to go into the sea after few days of land activity, but we was wrong and was surprise when they said next day would give use ‘holiday’, which is our Solo Camping. You could see many shocked faces including me, coz we didn’t expect it to be so fast. Anyway, after the briefing, we went to take whatever items that we would need, and also pack our personal belongings and food that are provided. We needed to cook our own lunch and dinner for the next day, as well as breakfast for the following day.

Day 5- Wednesday
Morning after the ‘HOT’ seat session, we went for our next activity, Solo camping for the day till the next morning. Hot seat session was pretty interesting as other teammate takes turn to give ‘comment’ about one another. It was more of reinforcement rather than shooting other people, we focus on each other’s strength while telling them how to overcome their other weakness. It was constructive with evidence given based on the past few days experience with each other. Some said I should have more confidence in myself as I can do many things, and should be able to achieve the things that I set my eyes on if I really put in the effort and push myself beyond my own boundaries. Some even commented that I have strong will, coz even when I was sick during the tracking; I manage to finish and reach the destination. Some said if that happen on them, they would have just told the instructor that they wanna go back to base and won’t continue the whole journey.

The solo camping site is not that bad after all. We are not located too far from each other, just that maybe we cannot see each other because blocked by the trees. For me, I was given a spot that is slightly higher, and a small slope. I can see 2 girls, one on the far left, one on the far right. of course not clearly, but still able to keep an eye (by order of the instructor), he place this guys and girl nearby in case anything happens, the guy should be able to get there faster. Behind me was bushes and there was another girl’s camp located there. after setting up the tent, I just throw my bag in, roll the mat out and took a rest first since only 10 (ten) matches are given, don’t wanna waste one to cook lunch ma.. before I sleep, I saw opposite side, there was already monkey climbing down, I was so afraid that it would snatch the girl’s bag that has food inside. But it didn’t come down after all. I woke up around 4 something 5, then saw some of them start to wanna start the fire. I also started to gather some small woods and dried leaves. Few bikers pass by our camp, so they asked why I haven’t started the fire yet. I said donno how to do, then they said very easy only, take few sticks and leave, then slowly burn it up =.= My first match only lit for awhile then gone. In the end, I used 4 matches in a row, the fourth manage to light the leaves, but it soon died off after awhile. After another try or 2, I manage to start a fire that was quite ok, not too huge, so I went to get my food to be cooked. When I got back, the fire was gone, only left smoke, then I remembered ‘where there is smoke, there should be fire’, so I just fan it, and the fire came up again. Happily I cook my maggi mee, but then the ash went into my food, gone!!! So I burn the whole noodle in the fire. Meanwhile, the others manage to get their fire started and was cooking their meals already. Seeing they eating their warm meal, looks so nice and delicious. Why they can cook, I can’t leh!!! After girl, she manage to start the fire and cook, but after while it died off, she used all her matchsticks. The girl that was located behind me, I could see that she had a big fire, but she didn’t manage to cook it, coz too big cannot cook food ma, and when it became smaller, she would accidentally put out the fire by placing the mess tin on the fire, killing all the oxygen supply. After girl during her sharing said she hide in the camp, coz can’t start the camp fire, seeing other people eating their food, her tears rolled down. Some passerby said ‘so early already in her camp, sure must have finish her dinner already’ so she told them, she had taken her dinner, but in fact she didn’t manage to cook anything yet. Tears started rolling down again :’(
Soon the sun finish its work, and change shift to the moon, since my fire didn’t manage to last, I just wrapped myself in the tent and went off to sleep. Somehow I was awaken by singing, I thought to myself, that was fast it is already morning since people has woke up for prayer’s, but how wrong I was, some groups was doing karaoke singing competition nearby, which means that it was still night time and not yet morning, the night is going to be very long. I couldn’t go back to sleep after that because the mosquito keep disturbing me, and my mind is just wide awake from all the sleeping that I have had earlier during the day. I just had to force myself to sleep, and yes after waiting and waiting for morning to come, I finally saw touch lights and someone came to ask us to start packing. I felt it was the longest night of my life, the waiting and waiting, the patients and perseverance to stay where I am. The last person would start to gather people downwards, until the first person of our team, and then we leave the camp site (jungle) together. Solo camping was about learning to control our thoughts, fears, wants, and gaining control of oneself among other things. I also learn that we cannot live alone, and would not live alone, as there would always be people there for us. We just need to look around, and people would be there to help us out. Don’t think that you are alone in this world. Someone had their camp fire super huge, as tall as a person. One of the instructor asked if he wanted to call aliens. LoL!!! It was so bright and lasted the whole night, morning still burning.

Day 6- Thursday
We took the morning walk back to base, upon returning from solo camping, we rested for awhile and distributed work for the things that need to be clean up especially the mess tin which was ‘burn’ and is all black. It has to be washed by using sand to scrub it and then wash with the soup and rinse. After the sand and detergent method, it would be shining even before we started using it. It can practically be used as a mirror replacement =) we had a break till lunch where we had time to wash up, rest awhile on the bed and of course wash some clothes. After lunch, it was another activity, the Climbing wall. We had several options to choose, some had wider gap, while some closer path, but all are equally difficult, some are for advance player of course. I was introduced to climbing wall back in May 2006 when my fren wanted to try it out, and so she invited me along. I went for the class with her and have a basic climbing lesson certificate for it. Generally, you are placing your full trust in the rope, carabineer and belay device including the ATC. The most important is the person that is belaying you. Your life is basically in their hands since they are the person controlling it. Many people manage to overcome their own limits and climb to the top. Even people who think they would never be able to make it. They push themselves to the limit and made things happen. The happiness and satisfaction of achieving something was great. You could see it written on their faces.


Day 7- Friday
In the morning, we had the briefing on whaling and were given an introduction for all the equipment that is needed. After getting all the equipment and laying it out on the seaside. We were taken into the water by everyone holding hands in a circle. The water ‘team-building’ was part of getting ourselves prepared with the sea. Some people might have fear of water/ sea for that matter, and so this is needed. For safety reason, all activity that has to do with water would require us to wear a lifejacket. After getting ourselves all wet, we got into the boat and started to load the items that have been taken out from the store. When everyone was in the boat, the instructor started by teaching us how to fix the items and what they are for, and how to use it. After teaching us how to assemble the items, we was then taught on how each item should be during “sail”, “standby mode” and “overnight”. Everything was then taken down and we had to assemble everything again, this was to make sure that we knew how to fix those items. After that, we got onshore and headed for lunch. After lunch, we had to prepare the boat in “standby mode” before we set for a trail sail in the afternoon. It was fun when we started to remove the permanent and temporary anchor, and the boat started to go towards the “outside world”. As there was wind, the boat was able to sail and thus we just enjoyed the breeze and listen to further matters that we need to take note of during the sail and whaling out at sea. After being in sea and experiencing how things are like, we “park” the whaler alongside another boat/ yacht to learn how to save people if someone was to fall into the sea, or even when they need do “business”. I jumped down into the sea as a sample. The sea water was just damn salty and was chilling, cold and nice. To save someone or to hold on to someone in the water, all you need is 2 items: the float (which is solid, hit the head can faint) and a bag of “expendable” string. They said got box jellyfish in the water that I swam in, that’s why they don’t allow people to just go into the water apart from it is a high risk that they would be taking (eg: drown or push/pull by the wave/ undercurrent).

Day 8- Saturday
Team sets sail/ whaling around Pulau Pangkor towards a beach where they will spend the night under the stars (of course they have tents to sleep in). after helping them load the boat, and took some photo with them, I left the camp before they set sail because the van that is sending us was hurrying to leave. There was this one girl that I feel was KPC (kepoC), she already finish her whaling and today will set out for another new activity, stand at the beach (of course it’s OK), but keep commenting and telling people what to do, even when she is not part of the team, not even helping but asking people to do this first then that, like people donno what to do. I was standing there trying to help since it was my team, and she just keeps asking people to load this then that! I just kept quiet and let her say whatever she wants, in the end, I exploded. One of my teammate wanted to release the boat deeper into the sea and further from the shore coz the boat bottom is on the sand already, he took the rope and adjust abit, before he can take up the rope, she already said “cannot untie it, the boat will go outwards, later very hard to board. And blah blah blah” I help him untie it coz the boat is pretty heavy (about 2 ton, made of fiber. If made of wood is 3 ton.) and I think what he wants to do, so I told her “just let him do it, he knows what he is doing!” then she just said Fine! And walk off... LoL, didn’t know I had my chance to tell her off. Well, if she wanted to help us load or teach us how to load, then just give suggestion, not like she is the captain there, she don’t even know how well we work as a team. Oh ya, before that she was saying something and teach someone how to load the boat from her experience with it. But then that guy was from another team, and my teammate came to shore, she just said “aiya, I have to teach all over again, I don’t think he can explain anyway.” I was like WTF!!!! Did I even offend you before this. I don’t think I have anything to do with you lo and mind you, she is very young and has completed her Master from UPM. It’s either too easy get Master now days in public university, or she just sucks at people management!

It was certainly memory and experience of a lifetime. It might have been tough, but we sure learn things from it even if we can't explain what we learn to others. Our life might not be the same as before.

Learning: Numerology

In the learning session, each group would have to teach something, and my group has decided to teach basic numerology (from a book) just for fun and to relax everyone.

So i did it online, so i don't need to calculate some of it manually.

There are 17 letters in your name.
Those 17 letters total to 88
There are 5 vowels and 12 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 7

The characteristics of #7 are: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating.

The expression or destiny for #7:
Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.

If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3

A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 4

An Inner Dream number of 4 means:
You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.

【分享】 丟了自己,記得要撿回來

有時候,莫名的心情不好,不想和任何人說話,只想一個人靜靜的發呆。
有時候,突然覺得心情煩躁,看什麼都覺得不舒服,心裏悶的發慌,拼命想尋找一個出口。
有時候,發現身邊的人都不瞭解自己,面對著身邊的人,突然覺得說不出話。
有時候,感覺自己與世界格格不入,曾經一直堅持的東西一夜間面目全非。
有時候,突然很想逃離現在的生活,想不顧一切收拾自己簡單的行李去流浪。
有時候,別人突然對你說,我覺得你變了,然後自己開始百感交集。
有時候,希望時間為自己停下,做完己還沒來得及做的事情。
有時候,想一個人躲起來脆弱,不願別人看到自己的傷口。
有時候,突然很想哭,卻難過的哭不出來。
有時候,夜深人靜,突然覺得不是睡不著,而是固執地不想睡。
有時候,走過熟悉的街角,看到熟悉的背影,突然就想起一個人的臉。
有時候,明明自己心裏有很多話要說,卻不知道怎樣表達。
有時候,覺得自己擁有著整個世界,一瞬間卻又覺得自己其實一無所有。
真的只是有時候,明明自己身邊很多朋友,卻依然覺得孤單。
有時候,很想放縱自己,希望自己痛痛快快歇斯底里的發一次瘋。
有時候,突然找不到自己,把自己丟的無影無蹤。
有時候,心裏突然冒出一種厭倦的情緒,覺得自己很累很累。
有時候,看不到自己未來的樣子,迷茫的不知所措。
有時候,發現自己一夜之間長大了。
有時候,聽到一首歌,就會突然想起一個人。
有時候,希望能找個人好好疼愛自己,渴望一種安全感。可當那個可以疼你的人出現的時候,你卻偏執地退隱。
有時候,別人誤解了自己有口無心的一句話,心裏鬱悶的發慌。
有時候,被別人傷害,嘴上講沒事,其實心裏難過的要死。
有時候,常常在回憶裏掙扎,有很多過去無法釋懷。
有時候,很容易感動別人的關懷,
有時候卻麻木的像個笨蛋。
有時候,看著時間一點點流逝,任憑歎息,自己卻無能為力。

其實,有時候,真的會想這麼多。  
跟朋友裝沉默,跟陌生人講心裏話。
對於在乎你的,不想讓他們擔心,
有時候,沒有消息就是一種好消息。
其實,很想說“我很好”,或許是昧著心說謊,
也只是想把最燦爛的一面,
放在每個人對自己印象的首頁。
丟了自己,要記得撿回來。

女生应该这样心疼男生哦

1、当你爱上一个男生,千万别去想自己是不是应该矜持一点。爱他就告诉他,有时候男人也很爱虚荣,你的表白会让他的自信达到顶点。
2、当你们已经相爱,那么就要对他信任,有什么想法就告诉他,不管他支持不支持。任何一个男子都希望他的女人依靠他。
3、在他的朋友面前,要给他十足的地位。面子对男子来说比什么都重要,不要介意在人前当个小女人,要知道小女人都是男人宠出来的。
4、他在打游戏的时候,不论你有多急的事情,也不要直接去关他的电脑。最好是搂着他,在他耳边轻轻的细语。因为男人对游戏的执迷胜过你看一部精彩的肥皂剧。
5、男人每个月也有那几天,跟女人差不多,心情无故低落。这个时候不要问他怎么了,只要陪在他身边。做好你自己。
6、他和朋友出去喝酒、打牌,你不要问他为什么不带你一块前往。男人都愿意做风筝,只要线还在你手里,那么就放他去飞吧。
7、男人都很懒很笨,尽管他爱你,但是不想费尽心丝讨好你,你所能做的就是在适当的时候给他个明示。男人有时候需要女人给他强有力的当头一棒。
8、男人不管他外表有多强大,但是骨子里都还是一个孩子。他在任性的时候不要对他大吼大叫,这对他不起做用。最有效的办法是陪他一起疯。等他平静后轻轻的告诉他你很爱他。
9、男人都是不肯认错的,在他知道错的时候给他一个台阶下。他会知恩图报的。
体谅一个男人,那就是把他当成你的爱人、情人、哥哥、朋友、父亲、孩子。爱他,不要给他负担,给他自由,也给自己自由。做女人要知道什么时候该进什么时候 该退。什么时候该挡在他的前面;什么时候该躲在他身后。把他当成你自己一样去爱护,成全了他的幸福,他才会成全你的幸福。

right move to make???

I resigned from a job tat can pay me well, not much benefits except "good pay", maybe "learning process with learning curves" for the future. I left it wit super short notice for something that looks promising, sounds since because around three thousand plus (3000) applications was made, but only 100 odd people was given the chance to participate in the training and development program. Leaving the good pay job had consequences of being tag with a note that i gave short notice and left in a hurry, which may (will) affect my future employability and might (have) put a negative information to my name.

My (ex) manager said that they too can offer learning curves and learning process as long as i am interested and can contribute towards the development of the project when i get involve and can prove that i should be given a chance at it. Leaving the job for something that has no assurance (bonded for 1 year + 1 year with high penalty if drop-out) was a very risky thing to do, and together with it i might get "black listed" because of my sudden departure from the organization. I left the job for the training program was to gain more knowledge and above all, a better understanding and overview of the industry. My manager said that they can offer the same if not better, and she shared with me the things that i can achieve and do if i was to stay on, i might be learning even better things and insights.

It still do ponder upon me if i have made the correct move at the current moment in life, because i left a good paying job (which offer me more money to spend and save, compared to something that is "low allowance"). I know that i can no longer make any changes because i have committed to it, and i would have to endure and go through all the challenges that i will be faced with. Hopefully this would be a life changing experience for the better part of me.

How many people would actually leave a good paying job when all the world talks is base on how much you can make! The more you earn, the greater your ability, the more respected and your voice is heard!

Royal Selangor Pewter

Today we finally met again for our gathering. Planning to have monthly gatherings for this year. With Cameron trip abandon for this weekend, we change to an alternative plan, visiting pewter factory, what better factory to visit than the Royal Selangor Pewter factory (4 Jalan Usahawan 6, Setapak Jaya. 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). When we arrive there, few other tour groups was also seen. At first we followed behind a Japanese group, but one of the staff approached us and gave us a guided tour of the factory. Many things can be seen, and we did manage to get our hands on 1 of the step (the hammering of the mini tankard). We also saw the factory working area, it was huge. After that, the tour ended and we was looking at the items on sale there.

We then went to Wangsa Walk Mall. Spend awhile inside and went to look for dinner outside, as someone said there is a place that is good. The place is called "4 Happy Season", located opposite Wangsa Walk, Cold storage side. The portion there are quite big. I ordered 'Maryland Chicken', it was so big, i think 2 person can share that meal.

FSTEP interview

Morning i left my house at around 7.30am, scared it might jam.. But the traffic was indeed heavy, but smooth flowing, so i reach the destination pretty soon, around 7.45am. I was going within speed limit all the way, no speeding or dangerous driving at all.

When i arrived, there was only 1 staff that has came into office. Waited awhile before the rest came. We 'sign-in' and they verified our documents. Before beginning with the first part: English Proficiency test (1). 40 questions and was given 30 mins to finish it. Scoring below 22 would mean 'Go home', score of 23-32 would then move on to the next part: Harrison Assessment. Score of 33 and above would move on to the next level: English Proficiency test (2). English Proficiency (2) have 20 questions and 15 mins to finish. EP2 was tough and it is set at British Council standard, selection of words are close and you have to finish which suits the sentence the best. 2 was send home after EP1, 3 went on to do EP2, while the rest scored 23-32. I was lucky to have went on doing the whole English Proficiency test.

Harrison Assessment had 17 group of questions. Each group had 8 selections and you are required to rank it #1 best describe you; #8 least describe. The first few are pretty okie as it eliminate those that are not associated with you, but as you progress on, they would use back your top selections and from those few you would have to keep re-ranking them based on the importance to you. Time allocated for this part is 30 mins.

After finishing the Harrison Assessment, you are given numbers to pick, and it would then be the question number that you are required to write an essay on the given topic. Time allocated for this is 30 mins, and have to write within 70 words. My topic was "Money, Banking and globalization". I think this is the bigger topic as there are a lot of things that can be written on each area. Some other topic is "What would your 5 year plan be", "The happiest moment in your life"

Now that we are all back in the 'social room', there is 6 of us left, 2 guys and 4 girls.
We are then called by name. The corridor is not that long, but it seems like a long walk for me, as everything that i have dream and think of, is down to this final moment. While walking down, all i did was just pray to God. Waited outside the room (3 rooms was used) while the panel read our background. I was standing with another girl, and we both was rather nervous coz there are industry people among them. Wish "Good luck" to each other, and open the door, the moment i have been waiting for the past year. My panel was a lady from HSBC Malaysia, Specialist from FSTEP, and an Independent trainer.

Started off with my studies and family background. Then went on to talk about my previous job experience and what i have learn and gain from it. Why i want to join FSTEP and how would it benefit me, why i want to join the financial and insurance sector, how would it benefit me, and what area would i be most interested in.

One of the scenario: If there are few staff under you, which all are suppose to be working as a team, but there is one person that don't do the work that is given, come in late, and just don't give you a damn. It would certainly affect the teamwork, what would you do?

With this interview, i have done my best. Leaving the outcome and decisions in God's hand.

Fashion Retail interview

I reach there early because scared traffic jam, KL traffic is unpredictable.
The place is very huge, big lobby wit friendly receptionist.
As someone was inside, so i had to wait for her to finish.
First was about my family background, then went on to ask about my previous working experience. So blah blah blah~~ Then discuss about the job scope, how does it work, what is expected and so on. Then they ask how do i select a company, what are the criteria, and how do i rank them. Then talk more on the company and its structure (retail, operations). Then ask about my expectation of the job, my future plans, what i would like to gain from the company.
In total, i was inside the room for almost 1 and the half hour, didn't know time pass so fast, because it was going on and on, linking one part into another. Alot of details was discuss. I would say that it went smooth, but donno did i surpass their expectation. Hopefully will get this job.

Chain Jewellery store.

After i got a call for interview middle this week, i went online and tried to search on information regarding this chain store, but didn't manage to get much information, and didn't come across anything on their interview process. I feel that i should write it down, so that people can read about it, and it may just be it.

The interview was in a group a.k.a Group Interview. This round had 8 of us. Heard that last round had almost 20 of them. Most of the people are in their last 20's and 30's. Aged closest to me among them is 1987, but he has been working for the past 4 years, doing part-time study at Open University.

Their 'compensation' is very unique, at least i haven't seen something like this yet. Maybe for MLM have such thing la..

During trainee (training period), 1st Month- RM 1000, 2nd Month- RM 2000, 3rd Month- RM 3000, and so on till 12th Month- RM 12000 (max). Which means each month additional RM1000.
Simple calculation: If you work the whole 1 year as trainee, you would be getting RM6 500 on average each month, RM 78 000/ year.

The bonus is even better, dun blink your eyes! If sales target is hit, it would be 9 months!!! which is RM12 000 x 9mth = RM 108 000.

Year 2 ( should be Outlet Sales Manager already)- RM12 000 + RM3600 (or increase 30% of last pay)= RM15 600. That would be fixed for the whole year, no more additional of RM1000 per month.

Year 3- RM15 600 + 30%

The interview was unique because it was not the normal interview questions. They would assess you based on 2 question:
Round 1. Tell anything about your background in 3 language + 1 dialect.
Round 2. Tell any story, be it funny, real case, or even experience sharing.
