Happy New Year 2008

Well, in a one day, we will start a new year. A very happy and excellent Year to all. How you will start your new year? Me? By having a driving test. It is weird right? But I am more scared than feeling weird. I hope I will able to start a new year with an excellent start by passing the test.

Have you done a revision of the achievements that you get in 2007? Is it a good year for you? For me, 2007 start bad, in fact really bad, starting with the biggest and historical flood happen in my district (picture)and my state of Johor and the pain of unable to get a job even though I have applied more than hundreds of work and been to a lot of interviews.

Then starting June, things start to get better for me. Get my first job as a substitute teacher for two months, then three months at bank call centre and then working and learning through internet in blogging and internet marketing. Well, the truth, it wasn’t easy road, but I enjoy every second of it. Then on this month, I also get a very good news, I have been accepted to be a primary teacher at government school. As soon as my parents found out, they threw a thankful ceremony. Some kind of party, my parents invited people to come to our house, having food, but in our community way, no music or dancing, but through prayer.

I also experienced a lot of new things and met with a lot of new friends. Some experienced is very good, while other vice versa. But it gives me a lot of valuable experience to help me to go through the next stage of my life.

I also began to know myself more, and my relationships with my parents become better. Used to be, we hardly talk to each other.

That’s is my journey for this year. Sometimes, we need to look back to remember all those moments and taking the good memories as our happy health supplements, and our bad and sad memories as our guidance so that we could avoid to make the same things happen again.

I knew looking back at the tears would make me laugh, but I don't know looking back at the laugh would make me cry

These are the pictures I got from internet. But Thank to God, the flood do not occur again this year.

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”

Finding Self-Confidence Through “Stay the Same”     Growing up, music often became a source of comfort and connection, and one song that truly stood out to me was *"Stay the Same"* by Joey McIntyre. Its lyrics about self-acceptance and self-confidence resonated with me in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. At its heart, *"Stay the Same"* is a reminder that we don’t need to change who we are to be worthy of love and acceptance—a message that was both profound and comforting, especially as a young person navigating self-doubt and the desire to fit in. The opening line, *"Don’t you ever wish you were someone else,"* is like a gentle wake-up call. It’s so easy to fall into the habit of comparing ourselves to others, wishing for qualities we don’t have or feeling inadequate because of some perceived flaw. As a young person, hearing these words felt like a validation that who I was, as I was, was enough. It’s one of those rare reminders that our val...

What People Don’t Understand About Those Struggling with Low Self-Esteem

  Living with low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of inadequacy—it’s a deep-rooted struggle that colors how someone sees themselves, others, and the world around them. For those who don’t experience it, it can be hard to understand the invisible challenges faced by people grappling with low self-esteem. These struggles go far beyond occasional self-doubt and affect every facet of life, from relationships to careers and personal well-being. 1. The Constant Inner Critic People with low self-esteem often live with a relentless inner critic. This voice magnifies every flaw, criticizes every decision, and makes even small mistakes feel monumental. To outsiders, this might look like perfectionism or overthinking, but it’s more than that. It’s a battle against self-doubt that can paralyze decision-making and sap joy from achievements. For example, a compliment might feel insincere or undeserved because their inner critic is quick to dismiss it. “They’re just being polite,” th...
