Reading, Writing, Communicating


  1. There are many ways of communicating such as verbal communication either face to face, over the net or pay phone, texting or chatting, writing via email or letter; for the less fortunate one we have sign language and braille. 
  2. As for the means of passing down knowledge, other than traditional classroom lesson, now we have more alternatives such as pre-recorded video, online classes that can be accessed from anywhere in the world of course the prerequisite is internet; e-books, short video and some other interactive class activities that can be carried out over the digital world.
  3. And, of course, blogging is one of an effective way to put up ideas and thoughts, used to be a trend but yet to manifest into a norm, instead replace by simpler and faster platform like facebook, twitter and more recently like the moment in WeChat or Google +. 
  4. Perhaps i am really old school, i still prefer reading the hardcopies and writing whenever possible. My writing had gradually replaced into typing which i felt it was much faster and can be conducted effortlessly.
  5. I believe with the help of the technology, data can be readily processed into information and from then we build our knowledge. Knowledge management is a critical aspects for every organizations which aspire to achieve efficiency thus ensuring its sustainability. In general context, most of the firms in Malaysia perhaps already have reasonable data collection and filing system, but the weak link is on data extraction for meaningful information gathering and knowledge creation.
  6. The core of knowledge creation very much depended on the user itself rather than weighing it all on the system. System is a tool to help us if only we have the necessary awareness and skill to use the tool. Corporate training first focuses on the hard skills such as project or time management, learning some new software or new system and then subsequently which is popular now to send their key personnel to soft skills training like stress management, leadership and team building, etc. 
  7. Despite that all human are made up of the 23 pairs chromosomes but we are never born alike. Our look, our background, our like and dislike, our hobby might be similar but never on our awareness or generally people using the word like awakening or enlightenment. 
  8. We have Emotional Quotient, Intelligent Quotient, Adversity Quotient, Creativity Quotient, Financially Intelligent Quotient to measure our capability. Only more recently we have Will IQ, Spiritual IQ, and Mental IQ. 
  9. Funny enough, human just tried their very best to measure everything, so that they can have a control and a peace of mind. The truth is, the instance we try to measure it, we will tend to compare and establish our judgement on good or bad, high or low. The effect is very much the opposite. 
  10. As we identify that we are superior or inferior, excellence or mediocre we are destined to experience the roller coaster ride of life. A peace of mind is only for those we truly wants it. 
  11. I like reading and i like writing, both literally takes more time that other mode of communicating or learning such as watching video, chatting, texting or voice message. No special reason, just that i thought it train my patience and give me a room to organize my thoughts and thus establishing a peace of mind.
  12. Knowledge creation is more than a mind thing, so that it can be transcended and help others to be more aware, awaken and enlighten in the process.

Getting Use To It


  1. I was back in the college this weekends to collect my result slip. For me, this is an event of important significant. It resembles an end to the journey i started 2.5 years ago. I still recalled back then in my first degree days when i received my final result slip, i was sobbing quietly; recalling the good old days i spent with my fellow friends.
  2. Never did i know that i will return for another round of education. I am glad and happy for my final result, manage to maintain distinction for both of my local and UK awards. I had never dream about achieving this nor i have any prior confident of such accomplishment.
  3. Perhaps for many things in life, we need to build bit by bit, not to be borne down by all the heavy labeling and ridiculous expectation. We just need to be clear on our purpose and the goal we are heading; developing a modus operandi or perhaps a system which enables us to keep on moving forward.
  4. I am now at my HOP's office, the smell of the office, the environment and the ambient is all too familiar. I recalled how i had work my ass off on my thesis on this reading table. I remember the lonely night i spent here, surrounded only by the sound of the ventilator and the smell of the furniture and carpet in the classroom. All the little moment of my life in this college rushes through my mind briefly. Little did i notice until this instances, it had all became part of the things that i had got used to. The feeling is always in a mixture, excitement for the classes and new discovery, grumble on the assignment requirement and dead line, the stress from both work and studies, the anxiety of not having a GOOD rest over the weekends whereas most of other people are totally enjoying their life out there. Grudges.
  5. It seems that everything including the challenges, the ups and downs is no longer so significant and important. It seems to be so minute at this instant. We can really getting use to something or some people without realizing it consciously. Good or bad, easy or difficult; we can get by.
  6. And Now, i am doing a lot reading, occupying myself with different genre of books. Allowing my mind to wonder and fill with a little more imagination. At the same time, i am giving myself some time to reflect and reconsider my life NOW. Patching up the old wounds, and problem that i had left idle; it seems like i am doing a house-keeping now getting ready to ride the next wave. I am wondering on the possible future that could bestowed upon me. One step at a time, stay true, stay clear, stay present.

Birthday

1) As I recalled last year, my coursemate celebrated my birthday during the stats class. If not for them, I think they will be no celebration for me at all.
2) This year, I guess it will be another lonely birthday. Nevertheless, two days before my birthday, during an appreciation dinner with my fellow pesta tanglung group members, they had precelebrated with me. Afterall, at least there are celebration and there are laughter.
3) Appreciate all my friends and family for the wishes and remembering my birthday. I guess the very significance of all this is the realization that I am loved, appreciated and cherished by my family and friends.
4) Having said that, if my birthday is not remembered or not greet by people who deem important to me, it shall not be translated into the message that I am not important or they just didn't bother at all. This is the same argument I had made in previous blog. 
5) As we are excited and glad with all the kind wishes and blessings, we might also felt devastated or sadden for the expected response from the particular others that never arrive. That is the duality of all things in life. In order to have more control in our life, we should not allow ourselves to clinge on such feelings as ithe nature of such happy or sad feeling is relative, but not absolute.
6) Life is such that, everything in life comes in dual form. As much as we enjoy the happiness and the high of our life, we need to learn how to deal with sadness and adversity as much so. 
7) Regardless of either event, we should not let ourselves got carried away. Always stay present, stay true and have faith.
8) Happy might be too lavish to wish for, I only wish and pray for been at peace. 
9) My birthday wish is for my family and friends to be healthy, the world to have more peace and harmony.
