Speak Up

I used to always "hope" that things going as I wish. Inside myself I always pray that things happen following my wish. But then I understand that it is very impractical.

To get what you want, you must always take initiative to ask for it. People don't know what you want. And most people are not going to favor you. So, sometimes you have to negotiate or fight for yourself. I learned to speak up. Although I am still not very good at it, but stepping this first step is already considered achieving half of the success.

Again, I found another flaws of mine. And again, I am improved. :)

Nayati: "Those kidnappers can't beat me"

I was discussing with one of my friends last Sunday about Nayati's kidnap case.

After the boy was freed, he said this:

"I left on Friday, I walked to school. Today I'm walking back home. They (those kidnappers) can't beat me."

First of all, I would like to admire his courage when dealing with strangers, to be exact, kidnappers.

Then, I was thinking what would happen if the similar situation happen to another boy? I think an ordinary boy would be very scared. Not to say kidnappers, even when they are dealing with strangers, they also will be scared.

One of the reasons I can explain is the different way a child was nurtured. Of course, Nayati comes from a Western family; that's why I think they are more open-minded to strangers. Yet, I have seen many times how local parents use strangers, policemen, or even black guys to scare their kids who refuse to obey them, or crying non-stop. And then, you can imagine when they grow up, they would not be comfortable with strangers.

I wish to praise those open-minded family and, I hope those old-thinking parents will change.

April's A Tough Month

I get the lesson for not planning my finances well. This April I am facing a financial 'crisis'. *haiz* It would be a tough month for me, but I have faith I can go through this tough time, with the help and moral support from some friends. :) I am really looking forward to getting my next salary. I knew what to do from now on!

Personal financial management is very important!

The FAQ

Many people asked me this question: "Why you want to work in Penang but not somewhere else like Ipoh or KL? Surely KL got more job opportunities and that it's nearer to your hometown."

I could give them reasonable reasons. I am certainly not bad in creating story. But no one actually knows what is actually running in my mind or what is the actual reason.

The major reason is, to avoid continuing being influenced by my grandmother. FYI, she is my only guardian since I was a kid. Of course I understand she cares about me a lot (I can say, "too much"); she over-protects me. And that's what I dislike. She is a big influencer to me, and she lowers down my confidence level. She takes care of everything in my life which make me feel like I'm the most useless guy in the world. She never realize it and, when I tried to talk to her about this, she couldn't understand. Generation gap - I am helpless. So what do I do? I chose to avoid face-to-face argument with her. I know this can never solve the problem but I think this is the best choice.

In fact, after more than 5 months working and staying here, I see I am competent in doing many things; my confidence boosts. I feel more valued than when I stay at my hometown.


So why Penang but not KL?

For me, I feel Penang is a very balanced place between relax and work, unlike KL which is very hectic. KL is more "complicated". :)

Well, I will go there but not now, not before I determine what's my future career path first. I'd go there because most of my old friends and cousins are there. Being alone at here makes me feel it's very important to have friends around...


FIND MY DIRECTION AND PUSH

Thanks to the company for my personal development. Thanks to the job, I am better in communication skills and impoved in EQ. There are many unfavourable moments happened here, but thank God I have a few close colleagues who are with me, including my direct leader.

I am grateful for my first half year after graduation. And my main job now is to determine my future career path, which career I really want to be in. I am not young already; I can't afford to waste any more lifetime.

First road trip

Finally this time i will be going for a work road trip - to Kangar,Perlis. God please bless that everything will be going fine there. It's a four- or five-day trip, starting tomorrow. When i come back, there will be more challenges awaiting me. I believe all those are no problem for me, as i will be guided, especially by my direct leader. I am thankful that i have him as my leader!

This will be an interesting trip!
So......just have fun lor!

《愛不釋手》

今天早上是我的畢業典禮。可說是一個完美的句號。
接下來，大家就繼續走各自的路了。真不知道幾時才能夠再見。
這首歌很適合這個時候聽！
雖然歌詞有點不ngam，不過也是在講著畢業的心情。

---

作曲：陳輝陽 填詞：林夕

同學與我，臨別互相揮手。當時天真相信，友誼畢了業後更倚重。

然後某某，臨別海關揮手；一場相識、一番相送。
但往後沒踫頭、從不通訊。

然後湊巧與你能夠手牽手，誰又會知我們有多久？

誰亦明白火花多猛烈，始終燒不到這世界盡頭。

但我未意會這麼快，便行近分手的門口。

若抱在臂內也不夠，承諾又哪有力去守？

如難忍手，無法廝守，寧願握手，別要揮手。。。

去吧、前去吧！

陳奕迅《今天等我來》
填詞：勞雙恩

“聽別人故事。
如何的春風得意，也是人故事。
我要走他鄉一次、寫故事一次，
或是真真的不易，都想試一試。

去吧、前去吧！
沿途雖風霜冰冷，去吧、前去吧！
縱使風吹得多猛，仍然要去闖，。。。”
