Top Spin Souvenior

0

I did mention about souveniors for the invited speakers in my previous post Saturday Morning. I also promise i will share about it in my next post. Here it is.

On Saturday morning, Pak Cik Hamit can not finish all 11 pieces of top spin so he asks me to collect it on Sunday morning. After church on Sunday, my friend and i went to his house and collect all 11 pieces with six different types/ shape of top spin. Actually it is for pen holder with top spin on it. All six design/ shape have its own uniqueness with different names. See by yourself and you will amazed by his creativity and amazing hand work.

Gasing Languai
The shape of one species of wild fruit that can be found
in the deep forest.
Gasing Kebangsaan (National Top Spin)
This is called national top spin because it can be played by all
Malaysian whether they are in Peninsular, Sabah or Sarawak.
Gasing Pidada
The design is follow the shape of one wild fruits that can
be found near the swampy river.
Gasing Tajau
This is follow the shape of "tajau". Tajau is the big
traditional ceramic "pot".
Gasing Anggau
I am not sure what language is this but it maybe
Kedayan language which means high.
I am sorry if i get this one wrong.
Gasing Labu
Follow the shape of pumpkin.
This is cost me only RM17.00 each. Quite an affordable and worth price to buy. He manage his business from home and it is called Hj. Hamit Souvenir. Malaysian Craft is in process of helping him to develop his business. I am happy for him because there is government agencies willing to help him out. Now he have his own trading license for him to sell all his products.

I always wish him the best because he is so down to earth and always share his experiences and knowledge with us. I am grateful that i have a chance to get to know him. Actually, we did help him a little bit to introduce his product to Malaysian Craft and it is the right channel to promote his product up to international level.

Till then!

I am Back: Safe & Sound

0

I am back and i miss my blogging world. He he he.. See, i am crazy about blogging again. This three days is really a challenging experience but yet still an interesting observation and input that i have from a lots of people that i met.

Our journey to get to the workshop venue is just like a 4 X 4 Road Challenge. Rough gravel road because of the non-stop raining season. Even though it was really a bad road but still i am thankful to God because He is with us. Protect us from all the accidents or anything bad happen throughout our journey. Thank you Jesus.

Anyway, it was a successful programme with a lot of contribution from the organizing team and also our partners from government agencies and NGO. Participants also exceeds from the targeted numbers but yet still we manage well.

So, a very BIG THANKS to all organizing team, partners and participants that giving their 100% support and participation throughout the event. I hope we can do something after this workshop. Something that benefits the communities. Till then!

Away to Long Mio, Sipitang

0

I will be away again for three days starting from today until Wednesday. It will be a long journey to Long Mio. It might takes us about 3 hours plus to get there using 4WD on the gravel road. This time we are not staying in the village, we will be staying at the Long Mio Eco-Ethno Agrotourism Resort. Located about 30 minutes drive from the village itself. We are there not for fun, it will be an event organized by us. Yai! I really hope it will be okay throughout the workshop. This is the resource management workshop for the community around that area. We are working together with the related government agencies and NGOs.

Not sure where is this place. Have a look at this maps.

Sorry for the low quality of the photos. Anyway, you can search it for yourself at Google Map. But, it will be spell as Long Miau and it is wrong spelling. It is suppose to be Long Mio.

I really hope that we will have a great time and meaningful workshop with the communities. This is the first time we organized such workshop. Wish me luck guys! God bless.

Saturday Morning

0

Feel very lazy to wake up because i suppose to be off today. But, because of the preparation for the workshop next week i have to change my off day to next Saturday. Hmmm... Another sacrifice for my work? I think so... If i did not do it, there will be only my workmate in the office today. Still quite a lot preparations to be done.

I need to get the certificate frames and souvenirs done by today. I will share the photos of this crafts for you guys to see when i get it. This old man is a craftsman. He is making top spin and i may say he is a famous top spin makers left in this districts and maybe for the whole Sabah. Once he was interviewed by RTM Malaysia and they have him on the shows. I can not remember what shows what that.

Later i will share a little bit about him. In my next post.

Until then, i want to wish all of you a blessed weekend!!

Good Friday Mass

0

As i entered the church today, there were a lots of people. The church seats were full until outside of the church. Come silly questions in my head. Where is these people every Sunday or during Holy Hour on Wednesday? Where are they hiding? Are these people coming to church only when there is a big occasions happen in the church?

Then i realize, i did skip my Sunday Mass sometime. The most common reason is "WORKING". Since today is Public Holiday in Sabah and Sarawak, i think that is why a lots of people can attend this Good Friday celebration in the church today. Praise be to God because there is still a lot of people following you Jesus.

My experienced today is very.... how to describe it? I can not described it by words because quite a lots of things lingering in my mind. When we were about to kiss the CROSS, i was cry for Him. I was cry for His help. He was died for me and i am crying for His help. I am not sure what is this all about. I don't know what is actually i am facing right now. Admitting i am a sinner and cry out for His mercy.

As i type this post, i can feel heavy burden on my shoulder. Jesus, make me understand.

Have a blessed Easter everyone. May His blessings be with each and everyone of you.

With Love,

My Journey #3 -- The Village View (Long Pasia)

1

I captured a few photos of Long Pasia while i am walking around the village. This village is a Lundayeh village. Quite a numbers of the villagers married to other ethnics such as Dusun and Penan. From the language (dialect) and conversation with some of them, i get to know there are combinations of Lundayeh from Indonesia and Sarawak in this village. If it is Indonesian, there are from Kayan Mentarang (can not remember the name of the villages).. Meanwhile, if it is from Sarawak, they are from Long Semadoh and other areas in Lawas and Limbang. Quite an interesting communities.

View from the entrance gate of this village.

To reach this village it takes about four hours using 4-wheel drive on a gravel road. There are 10 home stays in this village and cost you about RM35 per night per head. It includes meals. Most of the food are kampong's food especially the veggies.

Far away, you can see the group of buffalo.
The main activities in this village is HUNTING. They also farming (planting paddy and vegetables) and rearing buffalo.
Sub adult of bearded pig kept by one of the villager.
As a results of their excessive hunting activities, i am not sure if the population of bearded pig, deer and muntjac will survive until the next and next generations.

Paddy field and the paddy house.
It was a heavy rain and we spent our time with one of the farmer. See the rain drops? What a day for us after two days at Long Pasia we were moving to the next village, Long Mio. Will share the story next time. I don't have many photos of Long Mio because it was late when we arrive there. Till then!

My Journey #2 -- Lundayeh's & Murut's with The Hunting Dogs

2

When i first came to Sabah, a friend told me a story of how Murut's and Lundayeh's people treasured their hunting dogs more than everything else. These hunting dogs will have the privileged such as riding on motorcycle, on a lorry, and even they will carry the dog in their arms. Once i saw a couple on their way back from the farm and the husband carry the puppy (with some adults hunting dogs) in his arms and let their kids (about 6 or 7 years old) walk by his side. I also saw a guy on his motorcycle and the dog is at his back inside the basket (sikutan la ba itu..).. The scenario is quite interesting to see. This huntings dogs can cost up till RM1000 per one dog. They are expensive hey. If you drive in Murut's or Lundayeh's village be careful okay, don't you ever hit these dogs. If you did, the penalty will cost you up to RM500 per dog. Alright, here is some photos of the doggies from my latest visit to Lundayeh's & Murut's villages at Ulu Padas, Sipitang.  

Riding on a lorry.....
Sleep well because it was raining outside...
Hero of the day!

Pasta Time with My Dear Friend

1

This story is an outdated story. I already share it in my FB but i was away for an outstation duty so i did not update it here in my blog. It is okay for me because i blog when i feel free and share my stories.

On the day before i leave for my outstation duty, my friend Amy was asking me if i know how to make pasta? Opss... this is western food and i am a kampong girl, so what do you expect? I will say we have to follow the recipe. Since Amy have recipe book on making pasta, we bought the ingredients following the recipe written in the book. I think all and all she spend about RM40+ buying all the ingredients.

While i only bought orange juice, Pokka brand. I have bad experience when i am buying this drinks at G-Mart Supermarket. The price tag was written RM5.50 and it was next to the Pokka drink. I admit it was my fault that i only read the price no the whole thing written on that tag. That price is actually for Nestle yogurt drinks. There were no price tag for that Pokka which cost me about RM10 per bottle. I get pissed off because the staff is not arranging the right item with the price tag and i get the wrong info. I told one of the staff to keep an eye and arrange their products accordingly with the price tag. As a customer, we have rights to know the exact price before we buy any items.

Pokka Blood Orange
That story ends there. We cook our pasta and enjoying it with this orange juice. Even though i was still upset but since the taste of our pasta is just nice, so we enjoying our pasta moments then. Here is some photos of how the pasta looks like. Not so good but taste just nice. Enjoy!

We did not mixed it together.... mixed it when we want to eat it... okla..

The Bolongnese Pasta....

I will be away for four days....

Beautiful river of Long Pasia
I will be away visiting three different villages at Ulu Padas from today until Thursday. If our work finish early then we can leave on Wednesday. I am not so excited with this trip but always hoping things will work well. This will be my first visit staying overnight at Long Pasia and maybe we will also have to stay at Long Mio and  Meligan. I am not so happy to stay in the village because i always faced the situation where i need to pretend that i am married. Huh! Not only that, i dislike when i need to be a pretender/ hypocrite a little bit when i am with these people. If i am too good with them, they may like me more and they wish that i can be part of their family (you know what i mean right?)... But if i am not good with them (jual mahal la ni...), something not good will happen. So, i need to be so-and-so with these people. 

Nevermind, let things happen the way it supposed to be. I believe that Jesus will walk with me. As i know i am not walking alone, i have faith in Him, everything will be fine. Thanks again to you my dear Jesus. 

Have a wonderful day everyone! God bless.

Visit to Holy Family Residence, Purak, Papar

0

Yesterday was a great day. Even though all the way to get there, it was raining started from Beaufort until Bongawan and then when we return it was also raining all the way, but we have a great time with the old folks at Holy Family Residence.

It was planned quite a while ago and promoted through Facebook and in our church. Honestly, it was not well planned but the results was so great. It was about 30 of us with combination of youth group, legion of Mary and Christian Family group. We have Fr. Gilbert and Sister Melisa as our spiritual director to lead us. We leaving Sipitang at 1330 hours and arrived Purak at 1530 hrs. It was a little bit late from the actual planning and they are all waiting for us. Anyway, i will not shared most on the programme that we have with them but i will share what touch my heart and what i experienced when i am with them. I have a few photos captured during this visits but will not shared it here for now. Maybe sometime in future will do.

There were about 32 of them but one of them admitted hospital. So, only 31 were available during our visit. They are combination of Dusun, Kadazan and Chinese (as far as i know from my conversation with them). While talking to them and serve their food, i am so touched because they make me remember my old parents at home. Quite a few times my tears wanted to burst out but i tried to control my emotion because i don't want to cry in front of them. I love seeing SMILE in their face and it makes me feel happy for them too. But somehow, i can see sadness in their eyes too. Maybe when they saw us (youth) singing and dancing while we perform in front of them, that remind them of their children and grandchildren. How they wish their family were there with them or they are with their family.

There was one lady, very enthusiastic and i may say she was full of joy because she keep saying "I am so happy seeing Father again, celebrating Mass and with you guys are so great!..".. Seeing her talking to me like that and how she really appreciate our visit, which i thought, we did not do anything extraordinary, we only visit them and talk to them and celebrate Mass with them, but yet she was so happy.

Before leaving, i went to their bedroom. Just to wish them good night and telling them that we are leaving. There were tears in their eyes and at the beginning i can control my tears but at the end my tears were dripping. There was one lady, hold me so tight and seems that she don't want to let me go. She hold so much  misery in her heart. While i am holding her, i can feel she is suffering from something. That really makes me feel bad for her. Only my prayer will be with her. Her eyes, her face... there were no joy at all. I hope she will get to know Jesus while she staying there. To let Jesus take away all the pain that she hold in her heart. (While i am writing about her now, her face still lingering in my mind)...

So, that is a little bit of my experienced that i can shared here. I am happy to have this opportunity and feel blessed because i  have this sensitive feeling and compassion for others. I thanks Jesus for this beautiful gift. Thank you Jesus.

With Love,
Little Rose

True Confession #5 - Good Buddies or Bestfriends

2

Do you know the meaning of bestfriend (sahabat baik/ rakan karib)? Or i may ask the other way, what is the meaning of bestfriend for you? Or what is the difference between friend and bestfriends? Let me do some confessions here how i classified between friend and bestfriend. I will not use wikipedia or any dictionaries here. This is from my own thoughts and how i make friends and treasure my friendship.

Since my childhood, i have a very great people around me. I have many friends but not all of them can share their joys and sadness with me. Only a few that can spare their times to listen to me (i mean really listen) some are only with me when i am happy. So, this type of friendship is only at FRIEND level. When i am in secondary school there were ups and downs in my friendship. I still remember, i have a very good ..mm.. no, great friend when i am in Form 3. We used to spend a lot of our time together. We having our meal together, walk to our classroom together, outing together, laugh together and even cry together. But, something happen in between of our friendship and that makes our friendship ends just like that. I feel really really bad about it because i still remember clearly what she wrote in my diary "Ku sangkakan panas hingga ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengah hari. Kau mulai berubah dan persahabatan kita semakin menjauh....".. After that incident we are still friend but to come back to how it is before seems to be impossible. I know her feeling was hurt because of what happen to us. See, i made a mistake once and because of this one, i regret so much. That is why i TREASURE all my best buddies up to now. If there is one that i can click with, i will not takes that friendship for granted. I must take a very good care of that friendship. Because now i believe that my bestfriends are Angels that God sent to me to become my guardian. They are ANGELS.

I still connected to my best buddies even though we are far apart. Thanks to FACEBOOK, mobile phones (DIGI, CELCOM, MAXIS), email (GMAIL, YAHOO, MSN) and etc because with all this technologies, the South China Sea seems to be nothing. We can talk, we can chat, we can write to each other.

So, my advice is that...if you have bestfriend, nurture your friendship. Take a good care of it. Be honest and sincere. I think this should be enough even though i have lots more to share here. This is only a thoughts because i can't sleep. He he he... Till then!

With Love,
Little Rose

How to Stay Young & Enjoying Life

0

Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them'.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

Enjoy the simple things.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Is this work on you? 
I hope it will work then.... I will try to appreciate every moments of my life. I hope you do too. God bless and blessed weekend everyone!

With Love,
Little Rose

Korean Drama - Seeking Love

0

What is current K-Drama  i am watching? Hmm... Now i am watching Seeking Love or Creating Destiny at > maaduu BETA. Not really like this drama but quite okay to watch. This is a love story and as usual it is a love triangle, conflicts between four person and so on. Family matters, works and so on. This drama has 31 episodes. Here is brief synopsis of this drama.

After immigrating to Canada, Sang-eun graduated from law school and becomes an attorney. She plans to marry Alex, an American and fellow attorney, and she introduces him to her folks. But her dad strongly disapproves of Alex and orders her to meet a bachelor in Korea that they picked out for her before she goes ahead and marries Alex. Sang-eun reluctantly flies to Korea whereupon she meets the bachelor at the airport. She and Yeo-jun have a heated argument minutes after they meet each other. Yeo-jun is not ready to get married as he is trying to focus on his career. There's also a young lady who has a secret crush on Yeo-jun. The relationship between Sang-eun and Yeo-jun is stormy in the beginning but they gradually warm up to each other after getting to know each other in a topsy-turvy way.


So, happy watching this weekend!

Joy - Kucing Kecilku Keguguran

0

Sebenarnya rasa macam tak nak buat entri ni tapi tetap juga rasa nak buat sikit perkongsian pengalaman. Dua hari yang lalu iaitu pada hari Selasa, semasa balik dari kerja saya nampak si Joy macam ada restless sikit. Dia macam tak selesa. I hold her and trying to comfort her. Then, i realize that there is something with her stomach. Joy is still very small in size, she only grow a little bit from the day that i took her home. I am very curious with her stomach so, i did try to figure it out and i feel a little bit movement in her stomach. I didn't push or squeeze her stomach just a gentle touch and i feel the movements. With that i thought she had a baby inside her stomach and i was guessing it will be three of them. Only that Tuesday night my friend and i agreed that she had a baby. We did not notice it because she is still so small and the stomach didn't show at all. It is just because when i touch her stomach, i feel something hard. Even i thought she infected by worms again. I was wrong, she is pregnant.

Only about half and hour later, my friend call me from the living room and told me something is wrong with my Joy. She looks like wanted to delivered. She really makes us confused because, i observed my cat (when i was a child, i did saw my cat deliver it's young) deliver but not with the position and action that Joy shows. That night was really horrible and bad experienced for us because we keep an eye on Joy finishing her delivery session for all three of her fetuses. It is complete with every features, the only thing is not yet there is the fur and some other but i can not look at it for long because it was really sad moments for me. All three is still alive but still they are not surviving because it is actually not the time yet. Joy was not ready for the baby or she was sick/ fever. It's only me that not aware of her condition.

After the miscarriage she seems to be fine. No bleeding and she just recover from the incident. She is fine now, she eat well and back to normal. The only thing that i realize today is that, Joy is sharing her male with Muna, the cat next door. Only today i have seen Muna face to face again and be able to hold her for a while. And you know what? Muna is also pregnant now. Muna having a very big stomach and it really obvious if compared to my little Joy. Joy can not face Muna, and same goes to Muna. Both of them is very territorial now. They are no longer friends, they are enemy because actually both of them were pregnant. It is only that my Joy miscarriage two days ago. Pity for my little hairy friend, Joy.   

That's all for my very sad story. Hope my dear joy will be fine and recover well soon. Till then!

With Love,
Little Rose

Now is about 12.54am and i am not sleep yet. I hope i can wake up and still can play tomorrow. But, i don't think i can do so... still feel very tired because about 4.30pm after two matches i went to Beaufort just now....

Our team - Jade - with our team manager, Mr. Nagendra.

In action .. ha ha ha... looks like that i can not get the ball... yai!

Waiting for the ball.... hik hik hik....

Moving around looking for the best spot...
This is my first experienced playing futsal and i am enjoying it. Although it was tiring but i am still not good in kick and passing the ball. Not yet develop any skills... Only 'kampong' skill saja bah... :-)

Futsal Furious 2011

1

About two weeks ago, my company or some of my workmates have been arranging this futsal competition but i am not so much into it. Why? Because i never play futsal before. I don't know the rules, i don't know anything about this game but i do know it will be similar to football. So, today is the game day. I was included as a reserved player in one of the women team. I heard from my friend that only four women team will compete in this game. The game will start this morning until tomorrow.

Yesterday, my friend gave me our team jersey and i feel like... wooo... i am playing futsal.. ha ha ha... Anyway, our team will be played at 2pm and i am not sure if this will be a league or how. I will be there and hope can contribute something to my team. Wish us luck! (^___^)

Okay, before that, here some info that i get from Wikipedia. Read more at Wikipedia.

Futsal is a variant of association football that is played on a smaller playing surface and mainly played indoors. Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (colloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as "hall football" or "indoor football". During the sport's second world championships held in Madrid in 1985, the name fútbol de salón was used. Since then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal.

Futsal is played between two teams each with five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutes per team are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular football.The rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.

How to Stop Procrastinating??

4

Do you face this problem in your daily life? If you ask me, i will answer you sincerely, THIS IS MY BIGGEST ENEMY! My biggest problem in my work and study and even at home. I start to feel that most of the time i can not cope with my task at the office, my assigment and arranging things at home. Besides that, i have other commitment with church activities and so on. This is where i feel time is so limited and i feel suffocated and sick of it. It is not about limited time, i have so much time but i waste my time with this thoughts "Never mind, i can do it later. I still have tomorrow to do it. It's okay, the dateline is still two days more.... etc.."

See, these thoughts is actually makes me did not have enough time. At the end my work is not complete on time and then it began make me feel to give up and stress.

So, i am looking for a solution for this problem. I GOOGLE up this 'thing' and found a few tips on overcome this bad habit. I hope this info will help you if you also having this problem.

This article is by Mr. Henrik Edberg and you can find him at his blog The Positivity Blog.

1. Stop thinking. Start doing.

“To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.”
Eva Young

A bit of planning can certainly help you to achieve what you want to achieve. A lot of planning and thinking tends to have the opposite effect.

You think and think and try to come up with “the perfect plan”. A plan where you don’t have to make mistakes, where you will never be rejected, where there will be no pain or difficulties. Such a thing does of course not exist. But as long as you work on that plan you can protect yourself.

2. Don’t blow a task out of proportion.

“If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.”Olin Miller

”Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.”George Claude Lorimer

By over thinking and putting things off you are not only trying to protect yourself from pain. You also make mountains out of molehills. The quotes above are so true it isn’t even funny. The more hours and days you put something off the worse it grows in your mind.

Because you are dwelling on it. And so it expands in your mind. And since you are putting it off you are probably thinking about it in a negative way. This makes a little thing a big Godzilla, a horrible beast that is threatening to ruin your life.

So plan a little and then take action.

Often you don’t even have to plan, you have been there before and you know what needs to be done. So stop thinking and just do it no matter how you feel and what you think. How you feel right now changes as quickly as the weather so it’s not the perfect guidance system or anything. And you don’t have to obey what it says (it’s not chains made of iron). You can just do what you know is right anyway.

3. Just take the first step.

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

When you start to look too far into the future any task or project can seem close to impossible. And so you shut down because you become overwhelmed and start surfing the internet aimlessly instead. That is one of the reasons why it is good to plan for the future but then to shift your focus back to today and the present moment.

Then you just focus on taking the first step today. That is all you need to focus on, nothing else. By taking the first step you change you mental state from resistant to “hey, I’m doing this, cool”. You put yourself in state where you become more positive and open, a state where you may not be enthusiastic about taking the next step after this first one but you are at least accepting it. And so you can take the next step. And the next one after that.

The thing is, you can’t see the whole staircase anyway and it will shift and reveal itself along the way. That’s why the best of plans tend to fall apart at least a bit as you start to put it into action. You discover that your map of reality doesn’t look like reality.

4. Start with the hardest task of your day.

“Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.”Dale Carnegie

Maybe you have an important call to make that you also fear might be uncomfortable. Maybe you know you have gotten behind on answering your emails and have big pile to dig into. Maybe you have the last five pages of your paper to finish.

Whatever it may be, get it out of your way the first thing you do.

If you start your day this way you will feel relieved. You feel relaxed and good about yourself. And the rest of the day – and your to-do list – tends to feel a lot lighter and easier to move through. It’s amazing what difference this one action makes.

5. Just make a decision. Any decision.

“In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”
Theodore Roosevelt

We feel bad when we sit on our hands and don’t take action because it’s unnatural. The natural thing is to be a decisive human and take action.

When you procrastinate you want to do something but you don’t take the action that is in alignment with that thought. You become conflicted within.

What you do always sends signals back to you about who you are. Sure, doing affirmations where you say to yourself that you are confident can help you. But taking the confident actions you want to take over and over again is what really builds your self confidence and a self-image of you being a confident person. When you procrastinate you lower your self esteem and send signals back to yourself that you are a ,well, a kinda lame and indecisive person.

6. Face your fear.

“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.”Denis Waitley

I think this is true. It’s easier to live on that “someday…” thought. It’s harder to just take action. To risk looking like a fool. To make mistakes, stumble and not avoid that pain. To take responsibility for your own life.

The easier choice can come with a sense of comfort, with a certain level of success, pangs of regret for all the things you never dared to do and a vague sense of being unfulfilled. You wonder about what would have happened if you had taken more action and more chances.

The harder choice gives you, well, who knows? But it will sure make your feel more alive.

7. Finish it.

“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task”
William James

“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.”
David Allen

Not taking the first step to start accomplishing something can make you feel bad. But not finishing what you have started can also leave you in a sort of negative funk. You feel fatigued or stressed and sometimes you don’t even know why. It’s like someone zapped your inner power.

If that is the case, go over tasks and projects what you are currently involved in. Is there something there you know you want to finish but haven’t yet? Try to get that finished as soon as you can you will start to feel a whole lot better.

Just be careful. Don’t think you have to finish everything you started. If a book sucks, read something else. Using this as an excuse to quit something that feels hard or unfamiliar is not a good idea. But there is no law that says that everything has to be completed.

Let's Move On.......
Sebenarnya, saya tidak puas hati sebab saya tidak tersenarai dalam senarai TOP 100 contest Jangan Pandang Kamera. Sebab tu saya pun geledah lagi fail-fail gambar saya dan terjumpa juga la ni gambar. So, terfikirlah sendiri ni, kalau tidak menang pun contest tu, life have to move on. Macam gambar di atas lah bah kan, pack my bag and step forward.. miahaha.. ngam ka itu? Tiapa, yang penting tu jambatan gantung cantik dan sungainya pun cantik.... Kalau sesiapa yang tidak pernah melawat Sabah, meh la sini ramai-ramai kita naik jambatan gantung. Hish.. merapu-rapu sudah saya ni... Better i stop herelah... Till then..

With Love,
Little Rose
