First Entry of 2009

it has been awhile since i last wrote. nothing much happened i guess. took a long break before new year and celebrated (not really, i slept at 11) new year in Serdang. jadik driver for my mum during the long break. pegi balik alor setar in 2 days, then pegi kuantan balik hari. gila betul.
awal muharam and new year pun dah lepas. takde ape resolution pun. i don't believe in it pung. but i really really like this petua i got from a fren of mine, on how to be happy. and Allah knows how desperate i am to be happy instead of moping around feeling depressed. nak nak lepas kene rejek nieee~

1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Sleep for at least 7 hours each day.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2008.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. GOD Heals everything.
28. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
29. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
30. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
31. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
32. The best is yet to come.
33. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
34. Do the right thing!
35. Call your family often.
36. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
37. Each day give something good to others.
38. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
39. When you wake up in the morning, thank GOD for being alive.
40. Share this with everyone you care about.

9 days to go before Tahun Baru 2009

yep. dah nak masuk 2009 dah.sedar tak sedar, pejam celik makan tidur berak, dah nak masuk tahun baru.ape pencapaian aku tahun ni ek? tetiba rasa nak muhasabah diri lepas boss panggil untuk yearly SKT jumaat lepas. well tahun ni aku dapat merasa buat keje sendiri, tak mcam HTAA asik2 bawah hidung orang jek. pastu keje pengurusan pun byk, 6-monthly, 3-monthly reten yang kene buat (asik lewat jer). huahuahua. not forgetting KMK yang berjalan dengan lancar walaupun agak lembap sekali (huahuahuaha). tapi alhamdulillah aku belajar banyak tahun ni. belajar nak handle staffs, handle pengurusan tapi masih blom belajar nak handle stress very WELL. dah pandai nak gastrik pulak perut aku, seriously. dulu tak pernah camni. hish.
on the other hand, aku dah beli iPod nano yang diidam-idamkan. tapi seriously mac punya product punya la susah nak dihandle. kene d/load itunes la, sync ntah pape, register watnot tak macam sony mp3 yang bleh drag-and-drop je. menyesal gak tapi lagi menyesal kalo tak beli. dah menjadi cita2 aku utk mempossess iPod mp3 bila dah keje. aku belik yang ijau! sangat cute n aku sangat2 bersyukur sebab ade mende ni. huhuhu~
gonna update the blog before 2009. maybe aku sambut new year kat ipoh. lom confirm lagi. bye!

Eat,Pray,Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

it took me like forever to finish this.it's not that the book is not interesting, tapi aku rarely ade masa untuk buku sejak bekerja. hanya buku yang betul2 menarik n timing yang sesuai je aku akan baca buku. the rest hanyalah papers n magazines. sucks kan? i used to looove reading.
anyway, aku beli this book from Oprah's Book Club recommendation. (yes i watch Oprah okay). they even invited the writer to the show.
citer die lebih kurang camni laa...
Liz Gilbert ni 30-something successful married woman bila dier agak terstuck dalam hidup. she couldn't carry on living with her spouse n decided to get a divorce. tapi pelbagai dugaan la yang die tempuh nak get away from the spouse, jatuh cinta ngan orang yang salah lepas tu (rebound kot), n decided to travel to this 3 places she always wants to go to: Italy, India n Indonesia. Italy for the food (EAT), India for the yoga (PRAY) n Indonesia for medicine man yang die jumpa kat Bali a few years before (LOVE).
i really like the food part, eventho the yoga part was quite draggish. tapi for the sake of knowledge,bacalaa jugak. cuba la carik this book. worth your money spent. :)

kalau aku nak travel cam Liz, aku nak pegi mana eh?

Die Tak Suke Aku

itu je la yang aku dapat simpulkan. sayang gak laa sebab aku nampak die sebagai 'possibility'. good vibe yang aku rasa sepanjang aku bersama dengan die. nak wat camne, tak semua orang akan suka kat kita kan? macam yang aku pena dengar, 'seseorang itu akan ada masalah kalo semua orang suka kat die.' masalah ape aku malas nak pikir.

ahh, rejection. hurts like hell :)

reward for myself

sebenarnya takde paper accomplishment pun. saje je nak belikan diri sendiri hadiah. tahun lepas dah beli macam2; laptop, phone ngan kamera. tahun ni nak beli ni plak ...

alhamdulillah. rezeki tak pernah tersekat. moga2 diberkati rezeki tahun hadapan. 2008 dah nak abes pun. semoga tahun hadapan aku lebih baik dari tahun ni.

insyaallah.
