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!

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.

Growing Up

I'm having million thoughts in my mind right now which I do not know where should I begin with.

August & September had brought so much fun, happiness, and contented with lots of love. 

I learnt that life is about connecting the dots & form a straight line. E=MC2

I also learnt that where focus goes, energy flows.

Had a very warm dinner treat & catch up session tonight. 

As I grow older, I have came to realise it's really a blessing to have someone beside to chat with you & lend you a pair of ears. It doesn't really matter whether or not they could give you constructive suggestions/solutions to your complaints/problems. What matter most is that you feel the existence of a person that you are comfortable with. 

Just have to live present life to the fullest. Things are meant to be will eventually unfold by itself. 

That is all for my insomnia night.

Good night.

The Journey of Life

Greetings readers, it has proven that tough times not only make you a tougher person but it has empowered you to unleash your true talent. You are only allowed give in or triumph over it when life had brought you lemon. There is a saying that, when life gives you a lemon, you just have to made it into a lemonade sparking juice! Pause for a little while & restructure your thought in mind. Live by principals that you strongly believe in. It doesn't really matter that how hard people try to bring you down, you have just got to stand up straight and be firm with yourself. I am truly appreciate the kindness & support from my love ones. However, I'm even more grateful to those that have shown their true colours that they have been hiding it so well for all the while. You all have just made me stronger & standing up higher. 

August has been a terribly hectic month for me. Just can't wait for my vacation on the last week of the month. My dear uncle will be coming back from London & we will be going for holiday. It has been so long since I last met him. Great that he had finally made time to come back to pay us a visit. I shall celebrate the fruitful harvest from the past few months of hard work with my family and uncle. I'm faithfully feel thankful to God that He had blessed me with a lot of opportunities. 

I pledge everything will never be the same again.

Past is Gone. So, Live for Present

Despite my mood is diving like the global gold price, I'm glad that I am back to the world of blogging. You seriously need to walk a thousand steps to feel what is it like to be in my shoes. Hence, never take your self-opinion on me too seriously as no one will actually give a damn. Today marks the first half of the year 2013 had came to. Seriously, no matter what had happened & be thankful that you and I have made through it. People or things that you have lost would never come back; even if they do, things are no longer the same. So, take my advice, stop living in your past & look forward then move forward! 

We human being have to learn the purpose of life in a hard way where you do not actually achieve success without first encounter failures. I heard of this saying about you need to go through the rain to see the beauty of rainbow. In other words, we indeed need to go through shits and hells before realizing how wonderful is the moments of success after we have break through obstacles.  When you are at the peak of the mountain, you will make lots of friends. However, it only shows you who are the truthful & real friends when you are at the bottom of the ground. So, be thankful to those who had be there with you. Never forget who was there for you when no one else was. 

For others that think I care about your opinions, viewpoints, and judgements that you have on me, this is for you! You can seriously get a life & continue enjoy your cynicism. I'm seriously on a negative-thought diet & therefore I would search the true happiness in my life & live it to the fullest!

Astonishing January 2013

Greetings from Ipoh, family, brothers, sisters, friends, and readers. It's February in 2013! Happy belated Lunar New Year to all of you. May the year of Snake would bring all of us prosperity & endless luck regardless of our races, religious and background. 

I must say this year Chinese New Year had been one of the most wonderful festive celebrations I ever had. Something special & ample time spent with the family, relatives, and friends. For the last December & January was indeed spent with really worthy. Met up with a lot of friends that not been met & also attended my close brother's wedding lunch. Set a new milestone in OCBC Cycle Malaysia 2013; won a First Runner-Up! Awesome experience, I must say.

Unfortunately, just when I was enjoying my good time with my family & friends; this came out. I screwed up my exam by merely a tiny micro bit. This is so saddening & pathetic. Sigh.

I believe this is a challenge for me to work smarter & drill into much more details while contemplating the same knowledge in different aspects. I strongly believe what does not kill me makes me stronger & stand a step higher. 

That's for now, should end my post today with a photo of myself with a politic magnet that none of us do not know him, Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad .

That's all for now people, cheers!
