Actually I really dun like my birthday. Can you imagine every person love and keep count down the day of their birthday. But for me, I count down is because I want to know still have how many day my laughing will gone. The nearest that day is coming, the lesser the amount of laughing.

When 21 Nov is coming, I can feel that why the time is running super slow and I can even count 1 second, 2second, 3 second…but the when the time keep running until 11pm..I will start happy again because 21 Nov is going out and 22 Nov is coming in.
Wondering? Why I don’t like on 21 Nov. The reason is because something was happened and I think I cannot forget this thing forever. Now it had happened almost 6 years de.
This years I planned want to hide again. But do not have space to hide and since this might be the last year, my friends (KL) can all can celebrate with me. Actually for me, 365days per year, 364 days I so happy and only that day I will feel sad.

21 September 08- something happened to my mum until need to sent over to GH.
13 Nov- My friends suspected Denggi, who are I care so much! At the end, it is not Denggi but is CP.
Within these two days, I really pray the most and I very sad why it need to happened? I dun want. I feel super sad on that night and unable to sleep well. Therefore, I really have an idea that this year no more celebration. So on 21 Nov, I not think is special day for me. I just feel like I going out and have dinner with my friends and only 1 thing is this day dinner got free cake nia. So EAT! Make a wish? Dun have wish? Because everyday I only want people around me happy and laughing without worry too much.
21 Nov- My friend got Denggi. So worry!

So next year, no more celebration and if feel like want to eat cake in anytime, just go and buy and eat. Because in the law book does not stated that cake only can be eat on birthday day.

One thing very funny is until now still have people want to treat me eat as birthday gift. Funny! My course mate, class mate and my friends.
I really want to THANKS to you all. Thanks in Advance. This is my wonderful memory which you all have brought into my life. New life, real experience of true friendship. Sometime, I want to apologize because I do not spent time with you all, my friends because I have too many friends already.
Can you imagine, some time have person said Hi to you but you totally not idea about that person. How many time de, is not 1 times, 2 times but is more than 10 times de. HAHA: ) Sorry my friend! During my birthday as well, suddenly received a greeting from someone which I do not know through hand phone.

Thank you all so much!

Give and Never mind la!

Actually I ‘m quiet struggling about should a person who are always take care of people, give something to people, and so on wish to get back what he/ she has given to a people?

This is because people around me keep asking me that “you should not just be a Giver without let a person those received the present without saying “Thank you”, “appreciate” it or even feel nothing.

For me, it is ok. Because I really not expect people who are get blessing from me need to give back what I had given. The reason is “this is not a business”, this is an “opportunity” for me to do some thing good for you.

1st thing I need is I can help people when the people need my help, and willing to let me to show a hand. Seriously
Can you imagine, the people who really need help but don’t let anyone help? This is even more worse.

2nd thing is I’m no expect that people need to know what is the purpose I doing for them, but at least I have this opportunity to serve you. Because I really don’t know when I still have this chance to serve you, help you, bless you and meet you anymore.

3rd thing is “time”, I believe Time is important thing in our daily life which all of us are dating with, talk about with and even become a life partner with it. Because we will always watching our watch and asking what is the time now? Maybe this is the only time; I can help you in my life time.

I really scare that I will regret in my whole life with what I cannot help in that time and in future it will staying in my memory which is bad memory.

Sometime, my best friends are keep telling me that, sokfong ar, no use de, you keep helping him/ her since him/ her won’t appreciate it, and even never say “thank you” to you. Why they want to said so?

Because they really seeing that “person who I helping never appreciate it, and some more treat me like a staff (which without paying). And I always respond them “never mind la, 1 year 1 time only”.

Actually in my heart is “I really want to give thanks because give me this great opportunity to help, bless and even can be closer to” (especially person who I’m love with). Even though, he/ she might not know, but at least, I have this chance to help him/ her before. So great: )
Atleast I won't regrat in future and I have love "you" all before.

So, can I combine "Give + Never mind la = happiness" haha: )

7 Secrets of Success in Career

With the right skills and a positive mindset, you can climb high up the career ladder

Asa a career management professional, I am often asked:"How can I ensure career success?"
1. Regular Activity - Successful career planning is not a one-time activity but a lifelong process. Mapping your career will help you to track your progress. Your interest, hobbies, transferable skills and past accomplishments are all clues to opportunities that may be awaiting you in the future.
- Defining your career goals clearly will help you to align them to career trends. Once you regularly review and plan your career, you will be better prepared for whatever lies ahead.

2. Winning Attitude - The happiest and most successful people see themselves as winners and maintain move toward their goals.
- Unhappy and unsuccessful people often have a pessimistic outlook on life. They lack confidence and have a deep-rooted belief that they cannot do much or do it well. They do not realise they are advertising themselves as losers.
- So develop a winning mindst and you will be on the path to a successful career.

3. Move On
- Never become too comfortable in your current job. If you have been in the same job for three years or more and you are doing similar, if not the same, work, then ask yourself whether you are learning new skills or enhancing your competency?
- To experience the best of life, seize opportunities as they arise. Never get stuck in your "comfort zone". If opportunity comes knocking, grab it.

4. Positive Values
- True winners live by the virtues of fairness and decency. To succeed in the long term, you must know what's right and wrong, and you must use these standards of behaviour every day in your business and personal life.
- Adhering to a strong code of positive values will make your life productive, fulfilling and profitable. These are also traits that employers value.

5. Turn pain into gain
- Not life os free from suffering. When hard times cause anguish, there is no point in becoming bitter. Winners face suffering head-on and try to turn the pain into gain.
- Develop your career resilience. If you are retrenched or made redundant, use the time to learn new skills while looking for a job.
- Offer to do voluntary work while waiting for a job offer to come through. Don't look at the door that was shut. Focus on opening new doors.

6. Learn to laugh
- Cultivate and maintain a sense of humour. Humour cleansee the spirit, lightens your burdens and keeps you from taking yourself too seriously. Learn to smile and laugh more.
- Find happiness in doing the tasks assigned to you, no matter how difficult, demanding or challenging. Developing this ability to smile will help others to see your "can do" attitude, a commodity employers treasure.

7. Help others
- The most satisfied people are those who help others. Offer to mentor your juniors or new hires.
- Find time to do something for the community or a voluntary organization. By working in the community, you not only hone some of your work skills but also may be noticed by those who can influence your career advancement and success.

Career success involves many ingredients. Getting the right mix is not easy. Be positive and optimistic, diligent and dedicated at work, offer to go the extra mile and help the community, remain cheerful in the face of challenging tasks and maintain a winner's mindset, and career success will find you.

Lessons of Life- The Pretty Lady

Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were traveling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn ' t cross the river. The big monk offered to carry her across the river on his back. The lady accepted.

The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk. ' How can big brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females? ' thought the little monk... But he kept quiet. The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her.

All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of acussations about big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation.

Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. ' How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite '

The big monk looked surprised and said, ' I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along? '

[This very old Chinese Zen story that reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous. . like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away.We keep on carrying the baggage of the ' pretty lady ' with us. We let them keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of agony. Why? Simply because we are not willing to put her down or let go of the baggage of the ' pretty lady ' . We should let go of the pretty lady immediately after crossing the river that is after the unpleasant event is over.This will immediately remove all our agonies.There is no need to be further hurt by the unpleasant events after it is over.]

Lessons of Life- The Frogs

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied, ' There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs - millions of them. They all croak all night long and they are about to make me crazy! ' So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a time for the next several weeks.

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said, ' Well... where are all the frogs? ' The farmer said, ' I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise! '

[Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it ' s probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about things which seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you ' ll wonder what all the fuss was about]

Lessons of Life- The Turtles

A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found a place ideal for them at last!

For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.

Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five years...six years... then on the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich.

At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, ' See! I knew you wouldn ' t wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt. '


[Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we don ' t do anything ourselves.]
