The Mental Strength Game

When u say u wanna change ur inner being, when u say u wanna strike for a higher goal next year! When u say u wanna quit smoking, when u say u wanna have a breakthrough! When u vowed for a something...

Welcome to the Mental Strength Game!

Have u ever made a promise or set a goal that u said you WILL fulfill it but it never works? ok u can talk about your last year resolutions! You know, when u plan a goal/new year resolution, u will at least have a guide line for your future. People may say "hey just follow the flow man", but if im not careful enough, would i go after the wrong route? If u think that new year resolution is not going to work any way, that is because u urself believe it that way perhaps~ Talk loud, WALK THE TALK LOUD! i'm trying to play the mental strength game!

Hey~ new year is coming, have u get yourself prepared for your new aim?

You know, when i make vows/promises, there are always struggles in defeating your enemies. There will be ALOT of temptations to lead u out from these promises. And these temptations are your greatest enemies, thus your stumbling blocks. It's like the work of a devil who is encouraging you to give up when you are trying to reach the goals.

You wanna excel in your studies? beat the devil! You wanna change yourself & have a good breakthrough? Defeat the enemies!

Next semester is starting & im leaving back to Johor soon. Honestly, this time the new semester is going to be a different & a tough one. And i'm afraid that i couldn't make it through. I really need this mental strength to hang on, persevere & keep to my promise! Breakthrough~ and i shall see it coming!

Alone On This Chair...

It was the first time i chat with my grandpa...

***********************

U know~ when i was young, whenever there were visitors came over to our house, i would just pick up my legs as fast as i could to hide from them. I was feeling so shy to face those strangers... Whenever i went for overnights staying at grandpa's, i would just hide in the room. Lunch/dinner time, i finished my bowl of rice quickly so that i was not left with the relatives on the same dining table feeling akward. I hardly talk to my grandpa except for "gong gong eat"(公公吃饭) & "Gong Xi Fa Cai" during CNY.

U know~ i believe many of us would just have a slight groan whenever we are going to visit grandma/grandpa coz it'll be so boring. No wireless, no facebook, no entertainment. Yep~ just chickens & spiders to play with..

It was an increadible time for me to chat with grandpa for the 1st time during the recent 3D2N stay @grandpa's, though i was struggling to speak Hakka language with him. There were many "alone moments" with only grandpa & me at the dining table, living room in front of TV & in the early morning with him reading newspapers and me lying on the sofa next to him observing the life of a grandpa. Hey~ i find that i started to like my grandpa..

Life as an old man/widow..
Have u~ ever wonder what is it like to sit on that chair of loneliness when u grow old..?

U wake up in the dawn, u go out to have drinks with your old chaps at the same coffee shop every morning, same routine. All the old chaps hang around & talk about world issues, lives, gossips, backache, sickness.... U go back home to have a rest, watch TV, cook meals, and u go back to the same old chair again...

U know.. it's good to equip ourselves with all sort of knowledge & skills since we still have time...say music~ so that we could at least strum the guitar & sing play when we enter old age without depending much on technology or just sit on that old chair...

***************************

That night the picture of my late grandma was in my mind & the next morning i bumped into her friend when i was walking my dog in the morning. I had a chat with her, applying the "aunty style of talking" that i have learnt lately. We talked about everything, dogs, financial crisis, weather, works, regrets, my family, her family, her life.... Aunty is having difficulties in walking. Doctor said that she needs about RM5K for an operation but she just shrug off with the reason what's the use to spend so much on operation wherereas she has reach the "age".. She can't go far from her house, she can't climb the stairs either...

Alone on this rocking chair....

Witnessing

I love to hop onto public transportation compared to a private vehicle. The difference? is that i get to approach larger numbers of people compared to a limited space of contact inside the car. Ya i know the butt-rubbing & shoulder-knocking situation inside the LRT, Rapid KL bus etc. Because that is the only people would imagine if i mention "public transportation". People would just prefer to save the hassle, enjoy the air-cond & get2 listen to hitz.fm instead of cheaper tickets to their destination. Believe it or not, each time when i take public transportation i would be more alert & observative compared to me fast-falling asleep in the car not realizing/having any sense of direction of where am i.

The last sunday i went to meet up with friends to have a quick hangout. Boy KTM was so ... NOT PUNCTUAL & NOT ORGANIZED! Due to 1 door that was stucked open, the train cannot proceed to the next destination. Good thing i was not able 2get into the train with so many people stampeding through the entrance. There are people helping to push & shut the door. So basically the door was open, close, open & close again in repeat. It was quite funny enjoying the scene of jammed packed people going in and out of KTM trying to beat the speed of the door just to get a breath outside & go in again. Anyway i was totally late *sorry guys~~

All through the journey through public transportation, i get to see many lives out there.. i get 2witness happenings~ I witness the LOVE of a couple in mid age inside the KTM. The protection from the man towards his lady, the closeness they share & laughter is just so sweet. I witness the CARE from a man whom i thought is a "big brother" (hak seh wui dai lou) 黑社会老大 when he was having a friendly talk to an old woman. I too witness a group of PASSIONATE youths full of joy & hope going around inviting people to their church for X-mas celebration. N i witness a YOUNG GIRL, with fair skin in spaghetti strap & pants so short that reviewed her sexy legs. My~ she is so beautiful when she smiles. I bet she's just 15 years old~ Hmm kind of waste that she's hanging around with the boys there, as if her actions has shown a slutty style..

Witnessing the good, witnessing the bad.

Sometimes i don't wish to just become a witness but to be witnessed by others!

Just like the light of a candle, being lit from one to one.

And i want to be the one who is lighting the candle, passing on the lights~

and this shall be the greatest witness!

Aunty Talk

You know~ sometimes i wish to become an aunty. It's not that i want to own the aunty hairstyle, aunty attire & typical aunty way of doing things with their elbow up in the air & pinky sticking out that type. What i meant is the aunty who knows how to talk!

Aunty talks alot especially gossips. Many times whenever im with an aunty how i wish that i could be like one & talk like them so that i could fit into the conversation! It's no fun just listening to aunt talks, with me only nodding my head & smile, reply "haha", "yee yup", "uh-huh" & so on.. That's because i've no idea how to reply them.

This noon while i was doing my work, aunt told me that i have to be extra careful when choosing a boyfriend. Talk about BGR (boy girl relationship), im linking this topic to the plight of a mother as well. A mother can be very protective towards their children & it breaks the mother's heart if their children disobey or perhaps disown them.. Which mom never wants their kids to grow up to be successful? When aunt mentioned about her daughter, i can just feel the heavy disappointment in her.. The plight of a mother when her daughter screw things up @young age, had a baby & faced marriage failure when things turn out ugly. Her daughter is same age with me,21st. I feel what she feels but i just couldn't come out with a single encouragement word but just nod my head & smile in stupidity, i was so lame!

Why parents are being so protective?

It's because they don't want us to screw up in life (or somebody else life) as it has no turning back. Still remember when we were in our teenage "aggressive rebellious" stage? On how we use to argue our freedom rights? On how we shouted to them, throwing things around or perhaps fought with them just to stayover at "friend's" place for a night or getting an approval to hangout till 4am in the morning? You know... every night you came home so so late that their voices screaming at you that reached about 120 decibel, in their hearts u have no idea how terrified & worried they are, imagining the "accidental pregnancy", elope case, driving in influence(drug/drunk) etc etc..

Have u ever felt that ur parents are pushing u to inherit their experience/skills?

Why dad call daughters to fix the water pipes, make cement, do drillings, fix the lights, jack the car & fix tyres etc etc.. That's boys jobs isnt' it.. He wants us to be handyman. So that we will not be too dependent on man. In case we face marriage failure in future, we are still able to be survive.

Ahh~ aunty talk..

If i master aunty style of talking, i learned how to talk like sales man too..

& definitely i would not have empty topics to chat with clients

Aunty talks~ They talk everything..

The 3 Stages In Life

Talk about the 3 stages in LIFE:

(i) Teen age -> HAVE Time + Energy but NO $$

(ii) Working age -> HAVE $$ + Energy but NO Time

(iii) Old age -> HAVE Time + $$ but NO Energy


When we were young we had abundance of time+energy to play & excitement.

When we venture into the working world, we have no time but to work & work which lead us into a workaholic, everyday trying to after the 3Gs in life (Gold, Glory, Girls/Guys), and some may end up clearing the continuous debts of car loans, house loans & overuse of the plastic card..

When we reach old age, by then we only realize how regretful that we have wasted half of our lives pursuing something which are temporary & perhaps not worth it?

Life~ Is that all?

If you are complaining that life is boring.. perhaps u should take a deep look into your lives.. Is there any loopholes that leads to meaningless in life~

Life~ it can be so fragile & it can be so strong so fruitful at the same time..

Let's cherish life to the fullest~

Recalling back my semester

This semester is ending alright..

Looking back, i have went through a lot of struggles in my faith, my works, my studies, and with the people around me. Many tough times for me to balance between activities and my resting hour. I wanna thank those who have concerned of my health, helped delivered food to me & reminded me to sleep. I felt greatful to have you all.

One thing i learned from this semester is accepting challenge. Dare to accept challenges in life and dare to face its consequences ahead. 2ndly learning to give chances to others. Sometimes, a slide door of opportunities for some1 can be that person's hope & turning point in life. Thirdly, LOVE is the message I received & learned.

LOVE can be so pure. It does not boast, it keeps no records of wrongs. It is not self-seeking yet it rejoices with the truth. LOVE always protects, always trusts, always hopes, & always perseveres. N that is LOVE!

Here~ check out the photos below. It was taken at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). This Malaysia National Conventioin & Global Conference that i've just attended 26-29/11/09, was truly meaningful & worthy which has changed my direction of life!

May the new semester be a GREAT one!!
