I saw a quote about perspective. Can't remember much but something sounded like: 'If you like to complain, then you'll be given with a lot of things to complain about. Likewise, if you like to compliment, you'll be seeing things to compliment about'. I saw that while scrolling my FB. It somehow triggered me to my IG Story post few minutes earlier, complaining about the place I had my lunch at where the services were bad and the food was incomplete. Now, I started to remember the hours before I had my lunch where I mumbled about something and someone out of the blue. Ah, I complained a lot today. And it'll keep coming if I didn't stop complaining. Right? Perspective is the way we see at things and process it inside the mind to become either good or bad. If we choose to digest it as something negative, it will somehow become negative in our own perspective. Your view may be different from others but you are not wrong to have that opinion too. However, if you t...

Hello Twenty Twenty! You just appeared in a blink of an eye. I still remember those days when the former Prime Minister (and the current one) announced about Wawasan 2020, I was so anticipating it. Honestly, I have the same imagination of flying cars, mobile hand phone, cool gadgets..well something like the Back to The Future movie. It may sound like am copying other people but no! It's true. Maybe we were in the same batch. Waiting eagerly for the day to come. Suddenly, tadaaaa! "Here I am", said Twenty Twenty. And I was like.. Shit! Shit! Shit! (the never ending one). Towards the end of December 2019, I was still ignoring twenty twenty as if it's not gonna happen anytime soon. By early January, I was a bit scared because my 3 series number is somehow getting bigger. Blew candles (yeay), wishes and gifts (cool), replying each and every message received (wow)...and then something struck my head. I wasn't actually ready. That simple moment disturbed ...

Dah hampir sebulan duk ralit layan lagu M.Nasir. I memang peminat M.Nasir dari zaman belajar. Mungkin sebab makna-makna tersirat di sebalik lagunya yang bukan je sedap untuk didengar, malahan seronok untuk dikupas. Tapi tak semua pun dapat dikupas dengan mudah. Jenuh juga la tanya encik google. Antara lagu kegemaran I yang patriotik ni adalah lagu Anak-anak Kita. Lagu ni sangat dekat di hati dan sepatutnya menjadi satu mantera untuk orang-orang Melayu. I bukan racist melampau. I faham erti keharmonian hidup di dalam masyarakat majmuk. It's okay. Kita dah lama hidup sekali. Rukun. Tapi, sebagai orang Melayu, I rasa kita patut menjaga hak kita seadanya. Hence the lyric: Jaga Jaga Anak Kita, Jangan Sampai Jadi Hamba Bait-bait di dalam lirik lagu ni jelas sebuah peringatan untuk kita yang hidup agar melakukan segala yang terbaik supaya anak kita nanti bakal menjadi manusia yang ampuh. Dengan perubahan politik semasa, ekonomi dunia yang jatuh bangun mengikut trend, peningkat...

​It’s 1st August. 30 days to celebrate the Merdeka Day. It is a good time to ask our self on the achievements so far. Well at least, which box of our wish list is ticked. Achievement can be as simple as eat clean, live healthy or maybe meeting your old friends for a reunion. I don’t know. Mine will not be that simple.  My third quarter review of my wish list is... not as good. I did managed to complete one huge debt which is a loan (pat shoulder) but I’m still not good in making more money. In fact, I did not even make extra money this year. Status quo.  As for the places to go, I only managed to step on a few places in my lists which are Hatyai, Keriang Hill & Langkawi. Langkawi is actually my annual trip. So, yeah. I also had an unplanned Sabah trip which is not in my list but another place to go annually as well. So that means, I only achieved less than half. Poor.  But...I always love to start with a ‘but’ even though I know it’s not the right th...

Age is no guarantee of maturity. It doesn't mean that if you older, then u are more matured than the other younger person. It is also not a guarantee that if u are so good in doing things - that other people is less good than u. U got what I mean? Being arrogant shows that u are nothing better than other people even though u are richer, older, wiser, prettier or even owned a social media with million followers. So, why bother to waste your time showing off the true color when no one would care less about u or who u are. It's just showing that u are totally immature. Maturity is not when we start speaking big things but it is when we start to understand small things better. I was lucky that by age, I am having more self control which is one of a sign of maturity. I am thankful to my past that I can now differentiate between being defensive or being more professional in handling any situation. I am grateful to my life that gave me plenty of free times for me to enjoy ...

I don't understand why people have to criticize others and feel so good about it?  I mean.. look, we have our own life to take care of and U are instead, busy with other's people life. Just because they posted it online and you happened to read it...and because U can? If you don't like things happening around you, try to avoid it. Or, don't bother to read it.  I still remember few years back when I was in my upside down world, getting bored of the so called routine work and environment but at the same time was so scared of my future being too comfortable and secured. No promotion, same work load and task, similar faces and events, the typical daily routine that broke myself into pieces inside out. Screaming inside but laughing outside. You know that feeling when you do your work for the sake of doing it, just because you were paid to do it?  Well, that's how I felt.  I can't control what's happening around me that time. I have no a...
