What's New?

I promise my buddy I will get back to blogging again. She told me that I inspired her to blog. Pssst!!! Visit her blog (So, Just Breath) here because she is a good blogger. I met her while pursuing my graduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from June 2023 until August 2024. We make good buddies because of our craziness and clicks in many areas. However, I could become her mother if I married young. Age is just a number, and I still feel young in my soul. LOL. 

Okay, what's new with me? 

I wrapped up my graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August 2024, but the real thrill came when I celebrated with my fellow graduates during the Spring ceremony! The excitement didn't stop there—I got ENGAGED! Woohoo! 🎉 

After heading back to my home country, I dived right back into the office, and it felt like stepping back into my life exactly how I left it in June 2023. What an incredible journey!

Note: I apologize for not having a good photos to share here. Till next post!

Fundraising for Graduate Study in the USA

I never thought that I will finally decide to set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds for my graduate study. It was mixed feelings because I never did something like this before. In the beginning, it felt wrong because I know and am aware there are a lot less fortunate people out there that need cash to survive the day. As the deadlines for enrollment get closer, I start to feel anxious that I will not make it. After a few months of searching for potential scholarships available in Malaysia and the USA, I get to a dead end. Most of these scholarships are closed for applications or I am not eligible because of certain criteria that I could not meet. This is the ultimatum that makes me decide to finally do this. Besides, I get strong backup and support from Dr Alison that I should do this. Although in the beginning, it was my best friend, Najjah that came out with this idea which I did not even think of.

Here is the link to my crowdfunding page: Fundraising for Graduate Study in the USA.   

Please help to spread the word and your generosity will make this dream possible. Thank you so much for your kindness.   

Dilemma Again...!

I am in this position again whether to choose right or left. Whether it is good for me, for others around me or the other way round. Making decision is always tough because there is always a sacrifice to make. Will it be good for the future or just for the present time? Will it give impacts to the people i love, will it give impacts to the people i am with now or future? What about the relationships with the people where i am now and what about the future? Will this be a long term or only a short term? But one thing i know is that, FUTURE is UNKNOWN and it is a risks to take. Future at the current place or at the other place is both unknown. Only God knows my future, because He is the writer of my life story. Whatever decision i will make, i know for sure, God is always with me... If i make a wrong decisions not according to His plan, or i make the right decision and follow His plan, i know i am Blessed in all ways. Thank you Lord for the gift of FAITH.

During my two hours sleep (telajak pulak sya tidur ni..padahal mau lelap kijap ja). I have a dream of snakes. There were quite number of snakes thrown towards me. It landed on my body and one of it bite me on my back. It was painful and that makes me woke up. I was a little bit scared when i woke up but get back my sense so i went to wash up.

Trying to figure out what is it means, i Google about this dream. Here is some of the interpretation i found in Snake Dreams website.

Dreaming of being bitten by a snake is one of the most common and striking snake dreams. While the dreamer is likely to wake up scared or confused about the meaning of such a dream, a general interpretation considers snake bite imagery in dreams as a precious warning or wake up call regarding your waking life. A snake biting you symbolically signifies that you need to pay attention to a challenging situation or emotion that has not yet been completely acknowledged and dealt with.

Dream Meaning Summary:
1. The snake bite symbolizes a wake up call
2. Warning about a situation, activity, behavior or thought that are “poisonous” in your life.
3. Warning about something that paralyzes your ability to make a choice in order to take the next step in your life or a relationship
4. Resistance to what is perceived as a “temptation” or a situation that challenges your beliefs or values
5. Sign that you’re on the verge of a deep personal transformation
What does being bitten by a snake in a dream mean?

What does dreaming about a snake bite mean?
Here are several meaning definitions to help interpreting your dream.

Dream Meaning #1: Pay attention to something you’ve been ignoring
Dreaming of being bitten by this wild reptile can be interpreted as a painful reminder that you need to pay attention to a situation or relationship that has been challenging or difficult to deal with in your waking life. A snake biting you in a dream symbolizes your own guidance system or unconscious trying to get your attention through a wake up call.

You’re becoming more aware about an issue or aspect of yourself that you’ve been ignoring. The snake bite has the effect of prompting a reaction on your part, whether it’s pain, surprise or fear. Often, the dreamer will wake up right after the snake bites her in the dream. The attack from the serpent can therefore point to the need to wake yourself up, in your life too, from a situation where you have been compromising too much.

A dream of a snake bite reminds you that you need to resolve or come to terms with a situation or behavior that is paralyzing your ability to make a decision or move forward. Getting bitten by this wild creature is an invitation to examine what is currently “poisonous” in your life and to remedy it.

Dream Meaning #2: Meaning of the body part that is bitten by the snakeThe dream interpretation will vary depending on what part of the body is being bitten. Consider the meaning you give to the part and how it related to what is challenged or needs to change in your waking life.

For instance, a snake bite to the right hand means that you are conflicted about taking action or making the right choice in your life; it could suggest that you are preoccupied with acting in fairness or maintaining a healthy transparency in a relationship whether it is intimate or related to work.

Being bitten by a snake in the back could indicate that you need to pay attention to ill words or deceitful actions of people around you; it could also mean that you need to resolve issues from the past or concerns that you have been carrying with you for a long time.

Dream Meaning #3: You’re holding back your wild, untamed side
When you dream of a snake biting you, the animal may reflect conflictual urges or desires you have in waking life and that are hard to grasp or control. Dreaming of a snake brings to your attention, through the image of this animal, to a part of you that you or possibly others consider as “wild”, untamed, perhaps even “out of control”.

This inner conflict may have escaped your attention or you may have seen it looming over you, just like the animal in the dream before it strikes. The fact the snake is biting you indicates that you are in the process of becoming more conscious of what you need to do to take control of a situation or matter that has been creeping in

Dream Meaning #4: Transformation is painfully taking place in your life
The serpent is delivering the antidote to numbing yourself and avoiding what needs to be done to get to the next step in your life. The snake bite may point to a shift occurring in your awareness, a transformation: You are on the verge of becoming more aware about a matter that was previously hidden or avoided.

This radical shift may be experienced in a painful manner at first, but will be beneficial in the long run. This wake up call is part of your growth process.

Dream Meaning #5: Struggle with temptation
Dreaming of a snake biting you may represent the archetypal presence of temptation in your life. Just like the serpent in the Garden of Eden in the judeo-christian tradition, the animal in your dream could connect to a “temptation”, desire or situation you feel conflicted about because of it does not fit in your usual beliefs or ethical values.

The snake bite is a wake up call to face whatever is causing tension, perhaps even challenge some of your core beliefs or values and get a fresh perspective.

As for me, this is all the study that has been discovered by researcher about the meaning of our dreams, but still i put everything i God's hand. He know what lies in future. Give it all up to HIM. Let He guide me in this life journey.

Have a great weekend! God bless.

With Love,
Little Rose
