It's the last day of the year!!

oh..my!..oh.. my!  Before you know it, it's already the last day of the year of 2014.

How fast time flies...  My projects are mostly half way; at work and at home.

The clutter in my closet and under the beds which I intend to clear in the beginning of 2014 is still there!  Alas... the many projects at work which was planned in the beginning of this year is still nowhere to be seen. *sigh*..

yess, I am disappointed with myself.. to the max.  What should I do about it?  Nothing I guess..

So.. I just let it be....  The saying goes.. we humans can plan.. but God Almighty will be the one who determined if it is to come to pass or not.

Today, I am not going to reminisce on what I have achieved or not achieved.  It's such a cliché!

Today, I am going to give Thanks to the Lord, for by his grace and mercy, he has blessed me with good health and many other blessings which I could not see with my naked eyes.  He has given me a chance to go through 2014 and I pray that he will continue to bless me into another new year.

By the way, I am also not going to do anymore new year resolutions.  But I do want to try to live a simple life in the years to come.

Thank you Lord.

Happy and blessed New Year everyone

Life without FaceBook

Finally..........., I had the nerve to go off FB after 3 and half years being a slave to it.

And a slave I was.  I had wasted millions of hours on it. If I don't checked it in a single day, I felt empty, life is not complete...lol.. When I think of the things I could do instead, wow... I could earn a degree, complete all my half read novels and clear all the pending clutter in my home.

Then, there's feelings which are hurt by some people's remarks and being lied to.  And the feeling of being inadequate when no one likes your post.  Not to mention the pressure of wanting to post every single thing I did and eat in one day.  And photos I must take and share.  Selfies..., wefies.. just to follow the trend.  And other temptations that lay before me..  Oh dear me!!... I feel silly thinking about it now. Thank God, I have never fall prey to any money scam yet.

I prayed for God to give me strength.  I guess he did.  On the first day of advent, I deactivate my FB.  How did I feel?  I'm still alive, my mind is clearer, I'm able to focus more in my work.  I did not miss it from day 1.   I even thought of deleting it.  But I still miss my close friends in there.  So it will remain, but somehow this time I control it, not the other way round. 

I feel so good..., I have to record it here.

Counseling... Psychology .....

Last Friday, 7 November, i signed up to attend a basic counseling skills workshop organised by my Uni.
Boy....!! was it tough.!  During one of the role play activities, i ran out of questions to ask and felt stuck. We are not allowed to ask the 'why' question.  And got me to wander if i really can do this. ahakss...

Anyway,  I'm kinda inclined towards counseling.  I deal with people (being a recruiter in HR) everyday at work.  Staff coming to see me with all kinds of issues and problems.  The hardest part i felt of being a counselor is the listening part.  I tend to interfere too soon.

The two most important rules that i learnt if you want to be a counselor is;
1. Be a good listener
2. Intend to help

Yess... it sounds easy right?  In practice it's not.  So now, the urge to take up a degree in Psychology is getting stronger.  I feel that it is very relevant to my everyday life; at work, at home, with people.

I leave it to the Lord.  God willing, I will be able to take it next year.

Till next time

Lelengau

Am not talking about lagu 'lelengau' by Nai Dinamik.  Am thinking of my long neglected blog.  I have abandoned it for a few years in favor of Facebook.  Now, I am tired of Facebook and start to miss blog writings.

So many happenings that i have missed in my blogs; lots of things i would love to write about.  (Don't care if people read it or not, as long as i read it :).   Alass!!...time is always an issue.  Even though it is said;  If you don't have time, you have to make time.

Then there's the fact that my laptop has gone to RIP.  There's only the smartphone to play with.  Have not tried to post blogs with it yet.  Will try if i am desperate.  Now it's either the office computer, my daughter's desk top or hubby's laptop. (Hubby is quite stingy though).. hahahaha.  Thought of repairing my laptop but have been advised that it's cheaper to buy a new one.  Owh..well.. to buy a new one has so many implication.. on my pocket, on my kids... 'sigh'....

hmmm... see.. time has called me to get back to work now.

hope to be back with stories soon.

Surrounded by the things i love...

My second trip to KL this year in April 2014, I landed at Janine Bangsar and House of Royal Doulton.
ahhh!!..... so good to be surrounded by the things I love.  Even though I can't afford all of them, just to admire them is good enough...

 In Portmeirion heaven...

 My favourite Royal albert pattern; Old Country Roses

yeaaa.... only manage to tangkap this.  The Royal Doulton price is soo... damn expensive.  Have to collect slow slow.

Million of thanks to Indai Dara for bringing me to Bangsar.  Anang jera auk, ila mai ku raun kia baru.

My Love for Portmeirion

Sunday, 9 Feb, 2014.  I arrived in KL to attend a short training.
Deep in my heart, I keep reminding myself to make sure i visit Janine this time.

I sure did.  With the help of a good friend, I visited Janine at Great Eastern Mall.  Of course I manage to angkut a few items.  ahhh...puas ati ku.

 I'm in portmeirion heaven. My good friend sempat nyawil siti.

Rasa macam mimpi

Angkut jangan tak angkut.  Excess baggage lain kira.
