4th Anniversary in Penang= # merdeka #Langkawi+Penang # Oldfriends

1. In conjunction with my 4th anniversary in Penang, i had organized a trip with my old secondary school friends to Langkawi+Penang. Nearly 10 years ago we had a trip to Genting and now we are heading to Langkawi.
2. The most important things about this trip is the valuable time spend that we spent together. It's been so long since we last eat, play and joke together. We shared about our work, current life, the future in sight and also the problem we faced. 
3. We make jokes out of each other with no hard feelings, and obviously i am the one who started it most of the time, well, it is hard to get this bunch of old friends where we speak our heart out with no hesitation.
4. I managed to catch up with them again during my trip back to KL this time. We had supper in Asia Cafe and play the old school computer game together. Good time spent... recalling those halcyon days in the past.
5. I do hope this can be maintain and carry on for sometime to come.

Fourth Years Anniversary

1) I realized some of the most memorable day in my life happened during the festive seasons. Let see, i could recalled, I got my house key during Valentine's day, and I moved in to my new house during the labour day.

2) My first ever confession was on Valentines's day in year 2009, haha and my second confession to another girl was two days before the Malaysia Independence Day. 

3) I moved to Penang on the eve of Merdeka in year 2010 and started to work immediately the day after this historical day. It's been such a long time, a journey of 4 years in Penang.

4) I would say I had adapted quite well, embracing the way of life of fellow Penangites, simple, friendly and very good hospitality are some the important values they had incorporated in their life. They valued the relationship between one and another, appreciate the common good for everyone and they always wanted a better Malaysia. By saying all this, I am not referring that people originated from other statespossess any inferior aspects in their way of life. The purpose of explaining the way how Penangites live is one of the way for me to appreciate the incidents, things and people that had bumped into my life over the 4 years period.

5) As much as I like Perak (place that I was borned), Johor (place that I grown up), Selangor &KL (place where I spent in my teenage years), Sabah (place that I traveled quite frequent in my second job), and Penang (place I spend my young adulthood), Penang could be one of my favorite for the people, culture, food, historical places and the life style. ( duration of time spent In each states from Perak 6 years, Johor 5 years, Selangor and KL14years, Sabah 2 months, Penang 4years and still counting).

6) So with the calculation above, clearly the add up of all the years are my age now. I had learned to grow, and control my own life except the part on my weight. haha.

7) The self discovery process had never stopped since the Basic Training from AsiaWorks 6 years ago. I learned about my ever changing needs and wants, and also the basic meaning of happiness for me. I have learned to appreciate the little happiness in my life, the people, things and event happened around me. I appreciated many more things that had happened been good or bad as I know it is all part of my life. I understand that life is always filled with surprises in both positive and negative ways, and knew that I can only adjust myself to the environment but not the other way round. I embrace the challenges and difficulties and at the same time enjoy the fruit of success from all the hard work and labour. I have anxiety towards my future but at the same time I worked hard as much as I could and pray for blessing from god. I have come far enough but it is only a small few steps in my life.

8) My sight is set for a better future and greater heights for personal growth as well as my relationship with my family and future life partner who is still unknown till date.

9) I enjoyed mylife now and I am excited for the future that I might embark into. Thank you to my family members and my friends, and people from all walks of my life who encourages me, giving me a lift, inspiring me and gave me a chance to whatever privilege I am enjoying now. 

10) Above is part of my keynote message to my 4th Anniversary in Penang. Following post will be on the trip with my old friends to Langkawi and Penang during the holiday.

About Life

1. The title of this blog is rather philosophical, it's about life.
2. I am not going to type a blog post that takes hours to type and to read it.
3. It suppose to take approximately 5 minutes or so, simple and direct approach. This is the exact same concept applied to Life, simple and direct approach.
4. The single biggest problem in life is we failed to understand ourselves. Firstly, we have a very low awareness of our needs and wants, our ability and limits, our likes and dislikes. Sound pretty funny right? This is the very true fact because we always seems lost when we face with problem. Things got more complicated when the environment factors take it roles in all the challenges in life.
5. We cannot control the environment factors, only can we control our inner self. This is the single and most effective way to contain the challenges and also our limitless capacity to face challenges. 
6. By having high self-awareness, we will be surprise by our own ability and capability to achieve things, working on the life challenges, and going through all the highs and lows. As the very basic human nature is we can learn, change and adapt by observing, analyzing, experiencing and testing it. This is the fundamental of human civilization. 
7. So life is simple when we maintain a high self-awareness. 
8. So life is simple when we are clear of our wants and needs.
9. So life is simple when we are challenged and facing a dilemma we know the outcome we desired and the solution we will be choosing over.
10. So life is simple when we really think that it is that simple.
11. So this is about life.

Exam Season

1) After completing Managing Organization paper yesterday morning, today will be the time for the second paper, Corporate Finance.

2) Surprisingly, I am actually quite relaxed over this few days, playing game, study, playing game and study. I guess this is the way for me to relax myself. We cannot be studying 24/7 right? Haha

3) Let's just hope I can beat the odds can score solid A for both subjects althought It requires me to score 80/100 to get an A. Sound tough but, no harm trying.

4) Time flies, as 2/3 of 2014 ending soon as my MBA journey is also in 2/3 to completion. I just hope things will get better and more fruitful for me.

5) Last Thursday I had received an opportunity to interview for Accounting Manager post in one of the well known MNC. It's an honor for me actually, at least that speaks about the perceived quality I have now. Well up I used the word perceived as my true quality will require me to prove when the trying time comes.

6) Aftrer this week, I will be having some short vacation with my old friends from Subang , and follow by form 6 friends wedding dinner. Many gatherings to attend. A good way to recharge myself for the challenge next semester and also from my work.

7) Ok. Will be traveling to college soon, have a lunch, and go through my notes one more round before taking on the final exam. I like the corporate finance paper, not because it is easy, but because it is dealing with mathematics where my Maths skill is bit rusty now. Good to repo list again now.

Expectations

1. In this post, let's focus on the word expectation. 
2. It's always good, people once said, to have expectation in life, the life we want to lead, the kind of relationship and to what extend we want it to be, the quality of our life etc ... ...
3. Always we felt that, expectation is something keep us going, picking up the challenges in life, handling it and overcome it, so that we may grow, gaining knowledge and experience and at the same time, leading the kind of life we wanted, according to our expectation.
4. Another scenario comes into play where having expectation can be too heavy for us. Having high expectations at times will be dragging us, causing depression, stress and even lead to some unwanted incidents. We may not realized that our expectation is too high for ourselves, by comparing with our peers and maybe our previous self, we may realized that our expectations could be too high to be achieved at all.
5. So expectations can be a double edge sword. How it going to affect us is very much depended on how we are using it. Having expectation is good as it will drive us to go forward, but having too much expectations will be killing us without us realizing it. 
6. A simple theory and yet when we are stuck in such a conundrum, we can just never figure it through.
7. The trigger point for my posting and this topic is related to my studies. Out of expectations, i am the highest scorer among all the 24 or so students. Never been it run through my mind that i can be the top scorer for Managing Organization. 
8. On the other hand, i am not the top scorer for my another class called Corporate Finance. What a shame that as i was expecting myself to be scoring for that subject.
9. Nevertheless, both paper left last part which is the final examination to be completed. I need to gather myself and make sure that i will ace these exams.
10. OK, let's get prepared. For the exams and the holidays after this.
