Merry Christmas

When the town are filled with lavishly decorated trees or artificial pine-like trees, we all know the celebration of Christmas is here again. Shopping malls are once again filled with all the foods and beverages for wonderful Christmas banquet in this season of joy. 

Christmas had always been one of my favorite celebrations throughout 365 days in a year. We all know Christmas is a joyful celebration with fantastic food and most importantly party and presents that we received. As a Christian, I have learnt that Christmas is a special day our savior, Jesus Christ, had came to the world sent by our almighty Father in the heaven for the sake of redeeming our sins. It is so important that besides having our wonderful feast celebrating Christmas with exchange of gifts and presents, we must first fix our eyes upon Jesus Christ and the purpose of him coming to the world more than 2000 years ago. 

Here's what written in John 3:16 in the holy bible :-

In this season of Christmas, have you believe in Jesus Christ that will grant you everlasting life? 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Note Your Self Worth

Never forget that you are one of a kind. 

Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place.

And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. 

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. 

So, be that one person. 

- R. Buckminster Fuller

Hit & Miss, 2013

Adiós 2013, Hello 2014! 

I hope everyone is coping well with the drastic shot up with the cost of living in Malaysia. 

The big squeeze on household finances is being exacerbated by the wages failing to rise in line with the recent price hikes. When the phenomenon is beyond your control, please stop complaining & start adjusting yourself to the ever-changing phenomenon instead. Time & tide waits for no man! 

Landscape Corner

MALAYSIA

GDP Growth: 5.0%

GDP per head: $11,700 (PPP:%18,760)

Inflation: 3.2%

Budget Balance (%GDP): -4.3

Population: 30.1 million

Despite of all the negative impacts from the price hikes, we have to be pleased that there are a lot of opportunities of GDP growth in this 2014. In another words, there are still abundance of untapped opportunities within the country in this benign market condition.

For myself, 2014 is a brand new start for every aspect in my life. Thank God for giving me a new chance in this wonderful year. What had happened in the past, learnt the lesson & keep moving forward. Let's not dwell into something that have already happened for too long. We should instead live our life to fullest & cherish the one in front of you and grab every single opportunity that is given to us. Thank to my family that always be by my side to give support to me. Without my dearest family members & my foster family member, I am not able to make it through. Besides them, also very thankful to a new bunch of awesome & great people that came into my life, which is my First Baptist Church family members. I have been actively involving myself back with all the church activities to build my spiritual life. There's also this special person that have undergone the last quarter of 2013 together with me showing much love and encouragement to overcome all the hard & tough times with me. You mean a lot to me & thank you for compromising all my tantrums that it will be subside in the year 2014, finger-crossed. 

That's for now, I shall be back real soon. Cheers.

The 13 Things That I Must Not Do

Hello readers, 

I was reading a well-written motivation article the other day. And, I thought it may be a good idea replacing "I don't" to "I mustn't" in order to have more impact motivating myself. The article deliberated the behaviour & habits of mentally strong individuals. These group of people undeniably will be steered to the direction of success which is very helpful for each & everyone of us. Remember, we too, can be mentally strong!

So, here it goes:

1. I MUST NOT waste time feeling sorry for myself.

2. I MUST NOT give away my power.

3. I MUST NOT shy away from change.

4. I MUST NOT waste the energy on the things I can't control.

5. I MUST NOT worry about pleasing anyone.

6. I MUST NOT dwell in the past.

7. I MUST NOT make the same mistakes over & over.

8. I MUST NOT resent other people's success.

9. I MUST NOT give up after the first failure.

10. I MUST NOT fear alone time.

11. I MUST NOT feel the world owes me anything.

12. I MUST NOT expect immediate results.

13. I MUST NOT fear taking calculated risks.

That's for now. 

I'm on a mission chasing away all negativity & attract in Positive Energy(ies). 

Most important of all, I will continue to pray hard to God & have trust in Him. Amen!

God Bless! Cheers.
