This week has been a very challenging week for me as a few unhappy things happen to me. First, I’ve been inflicted with a disease, well, its not that bad, but finally it require a minor surgery and second, my car’s back mirror broken without reason. Wahhhh, what a day. At first, I thought to use my insurance policy to pay for my back car mirror’s, but I found out that I do not include mirror in my policy claimed, and if i still want to use my insurance policy, i will be losing my NCB, ohhh, and it getting worse as it need to go throuh so many things, like need to lodge a police report and it need to wait  a few days before the car can be fix. Ohhhh, how can I wait for that because I need my car everyday. So i opt to pay for my own. This is the picture. Wonder how it can happen considering nothing hit my car, and it at 9.30 am, morning, it’s not hot. Second, i’ve got this medical condition and it wasn't pretty. One visit to a private clinic has already cost money, and imagine y...

For the past few months, I discovered that I am a person who trusted that everything will happen as it should be and how naive I am.  Because of this attitude, I suffer loss for a few times. If only I be more careful, I could avoided the silly mistakes that I’ve made. A few incidence that makes me think this way because 1.    I went to a photocopy shop, and asked the shop assistant to photostat a few very important document. Then, after she finished it and i paid for it, I went home only to discovered after I arrived home which is more than 40 km away, that the shop assistant left out my very important document. I should report a complaint to the shop right? But I didn’t as I am a person who do not like confrontation. The next day, I went to the shop again and the shop was closed. I am very frustrated, and so I have to make trip there again. This won’t happen if I check before I go. I should adjust my hurry up attitude. Fina lly the third trip to that shop I able ...

A few months ago, I was feeling down because of something that occur at home. I am lucky to have a great friend who stood beside me and help me to get through the problem. She also recommend a song for me to read and to dwell into the  lyrics of the song. Understanding the meaning and I guess try to apply it. The song is by Mariah Carey, can’t take that away from me . Here is the lyric. They can say, Anything they want to say, Try to bring me down, But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me, And they can try Hard to make me feel that I, Don't matter at all, But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's, There's a light in me, That shines brightly, They can try, But they can't take that away from me From me No no nooo Oh they, They can do Anything they want to you, If you let them in, But they won't ever win, If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside, See I.. I have lea...

Today, I'm feeling happy because I received something unexpected sooner that I think it will be. Wow, it amazing and great and I cannot stop smiling. What I discovered is that when I am feeling happy, I can do a lot of things and things seem to be much easier. I quote from someone, that feelings is the one we determined. People can say whatever they want and things can turn out not the way you want, but the feeling you are having inside, its you that determine it. be happy and sure you find it worth it. :)

When I was down, the things that make me smile is knowing that I have friends that I count to. Friends that have helped me during my ups and downs. Friends who listen to my grieving and to share my happiness and sadness. Got something from facebook. Another red letter day, So the pound has dropped and the children are creating The other half ran away, Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber Got a pain in the chest, doctor's on strike, what you need is a rest It's not easy love but you've got friends you can trust Friends will be friends, When you're in need of love they give you care and attention Friends will be friends, When you're through with life, and all hope is lost Hold out your hands because friends will be friends, right till the end Now it's a beautiful day, The postman delivered a letter from your lover Only a phone call away, You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number As a matter of fact, You're getting used to life wi...
