It is something like this, would you put price on the things you do? I heard a saying there is nothing free in this world, so, based on this saying, isn’t it means that I also have to put price on the things that I do? But thinking back, it cannot be done that way. Not everything can be measure with price. But being too nice is also can be backfire. Let say, you do free of charge for everything you do for this one person, let say that this person is your best friend, and suddenly that person stab you in the back, would you feel hurt and start to questioned back your help to that person? Maybe people with strong heart will say, past is past, just let go, still, the experience will taught you something. Build a defence mechanism so, when something happen your heart will not feel too hurt.  I’ve been in this situation, and somehow I felt necessary. It is not wrong to be really sincere, but it just when people start taking advantage of that sinc...

Something to share... I got this from an email, but I do not know who is the writer...

Once I kind a person just get through whatever is in my mind. I do what I want. Now, at the age of 28, I realized, I can’t be that. I need to have a plan, a plan where I want to be and where I do not want to go. As I found out, it will be hard and very windy. I discovered actually, as much as I hate it, I need to have discipline. Why plan? Because then you know what to execute and what not to do. You think before you act. It doesn’t mean it will restrict what you want to do, instead it will give ways. It just, you do pro and cons of the actions that you are going to take. In work, I always plan, but not in life, rarely… but then I found out, even in life I have to do it. Plan is easy, but to execute is hard. But once I’ve plan something, I discovered the good and bad of the decision I’m going to take. Like today, I’ve found out so many truth about my life. Like, where I will be in few years if I do not learn to manage my money well. I alos just found out that it will take me an...

Some will cry, some will talk about it, some will hold it in their heart and many more. But when you are hurt, many things are happen in the heart and that’s when we do either something stupid or something intelligent and for me, this is when I always ended up doing really foolish things and say unnecessary words that make me feel regret later on. Not good, really not good. Hurt is something unavoidable. Sometimes, even a simple thing can trigger bad feeling. Maybe during that time, it was a bad time, and somebody say a wrong thing at the wrong time, and I could be angry, usually a very minimal angry, but that time I blew out of proportion…. Been there? I have… I learn to face this kind of thing is to be prepared, that is by not putting high hope on anything. Even to put high hope on myself seems burden, what more to other people, who I expect to do something to me, and if that person aren’t, I will feel hurt. Next is acceptance. Accept that th...

Today, 11th June is my birthday. Well, I'm bless to live until today healthily, and happily. Been bless with with great family, parents who are still live healthily and love me just the way I am. Even though deep inside I know they are worried that I still haven't marry and really wish for it, but they never push it. I love you mak n abah, and you are the greatest parents that I could ever ask for. I also have been bless with three older brothers, and we do always have misunderstand, and yet we still closely hold each other. I love you all. Then I have 9 cute nieces and nephew... and I love all of you. I also have a good and stable job. Yes, at times, I feel regret that I enter into this profession, but being in this profession is one of the best thing that happen in my life. I learn to know more about myself, meet so many good and (bad) people, learn to make people understand and me to understand people. I learn that that there are so many more of life, and each phase I...

Facebook is much fun, but twitter is much practical. I like both, but now I prefer Twitter. I just found out how to update using my handphone. Hahaha, during this long vacation, I able to do so many things and discover a lot of new things, and I like it. For twitter, I able to earn some income, whereas from facebook, none, so, I have to choose twitter if people ask me to choose between these two. Moreover, I think it much easier to use than facebook. I guess, it all depends on the preferences. Short update from me after hiatus for some time. I'll update more.
