Male Friends I've Got to Have :)

Rumblings, Mumblings, Blab blab blab!

I am in the dining hall with all my books and papers. I am very nervous and I'm trying to figure out how to achieve these things... I realise that I've been ignorant. Not entirely, but I have been ignorant enough to not apply what I know, what I've learnt. So I jotted down in my notebook
earlier:

->Lack Experience? --> GAIN IT!
-> BUT HOW?!!

I can do a lot, but I'm just unsure about it. I know a lot.. and I can do a lot.. then again, I am lack of experience? Should I bend down and listen?~ Not a good idea.. Nobody will have the time to make me understand what's actually going on. I have to have the heart to absorb all these tiny matters. How can they not be well-organised when they have more experience than me? Aren't they scared of errors? How about late submission of documents? How can I contribute?

I got home to Nini's and heard about "Piagam Madinah" (or "the Medina Treaty") and I relate that with the Al-Qafiroon surah... and also the commotion in West Malaysia... the stuff that they did, they really don't needto go through all that, right? We are all human. We are all equal, the Treaty and surah strongly discourages us from fighting over silly stuff as this. So we believe in the same God, and the different religions that we believe in originate from the same part of the world... what is wrong with using the same word to call our God? Maybe, just maybe, we'd need to educate each other on this. Maybe we too should be educated to understand more about what we're not sure of... It's up to God who he favours. Today, a disbeliever (to our respective religions) may not understand or see what we have, but tomorrow we might not no.. So why the violence?

Just some thoughts I thought I needed to clear out...

The Underdogs Lyrics (Weezer)

Everything we fight for seems to get shot down
No one seems to notice; it's like we ain't around
They tear us into pieces and throw us here and there
No one knows how much we care
So much pain
So many tears
So much hurt
When we gonna learn? Oh
We got to give our best
And push until we break on through

We're shooting straight for the top
Our engine never will stop
This is our destiny
Nothing's too good to be
We know the score
We're gonna break down the door
You wish you were at lunch
This time we got a hunch
We're the underdogs

The people that we trusted really let us down
Everybody wants to fly and never hit the ground
They treat us like we're pieces in a parlor game
Leaving us to take the blame
We don't care
We don't mind
We won't come
When they call, oh
We're takin' what they give
Cuz we can rise above it all

Feeling the pain
Hearing the names
We struggle till we are broken
For all this hurt, we thank you

<3

Not This. Not Now.

This is NOT the best feeling I've ever had. I don't like it at all. I feel kinda down and it Sucks!

How can I boost myself back UP?

If you're wondering what will disrupt our future, it's ignorance. Some people should learn to understand other people's culture before making a fuss of it. I mean, have you forgotten what was taught earlier in school? This may be a bit controversial, but if people do not widen their knowledge on certain things such as this one, we're gonna have to go through the uunecessaries all over again.

Managing Yourself - Part I: Motivating Yourself

OK, so Amon and I kinda read the first part of Grolier Business Library's 'Managing Yourself'. And I found out that I am a person that may be motivated by what I want to ACHIEVE and the feeling of BELONGING to something, someone or a group.. Amon is definitely a person motivated by the need to have influence.. hehe..

This book further explained that while we are either (or may be influenced by 2 or all 3) of these motivators -- needing to achieve, needing to belong and needing to influence... we are driven by factors that may motivate us. The author setted up 5 drivers that dictates on how we do things, which individually for each person might be different. These drivers may be used for us to set our own standards when we do things... These drivers are: Speed, Perfection, Approval, Effort and Strength. Speed is the standard of a person who's always in a hurry. These people will never miss deadlines, are known to be efficient, may need less time for preparation, are quick-thinking and works best under pressure..with strict deadlines. Unfortunately, these are the people who would tend to be impatient and may pressurise others, who's always hasty and are prone to mistakes, talks quickly and may be interrupting (plus won't be able to listen to other people), rushes a bit too much to be on time and may not have enough time to check on potential mistakes. (This is soooo Amon and Sin)
A person bound on the standard of perfection are known to be accurate at making any jobs, less likely to make mistakes, will always have contingency plans for potential problems, reliable, well-organised and are always well-presented. On the other hand, these people may be so detailed that they may confuse others, would be a bit slow because they always have to make sure that their work is right, very critical, may lead to hesitation, often have hard time to trust others so that everyone will abide to the perfection standard as well, and may be quite poor at meeting deadlines. (Mommy, Nabs, and sometimes me)
The person who'd standardise him/herself to the Approval of others are usually those who are called pleasers. These people are good at smoothing things over, who are also good-listeners, intuitive, kind and considerate, understanding and well-liked. I want to admit that I am this, but I am not sure that I am always a kind person, although I always put other people's feelings before mine :P.. The disadvantages for these kind of people is that they may cause misunderstandings due to acting on intuition rather than checking facts, may not tell people the truth although they know that these people are wrong (because they'd hate to upset people), may be seen as weak, due to reluctance to put forward ideas and opinions, they might also have difficulties in saying NO (nang aku la),... and take criticism too personally (emotional).. (Yep this is me.. and Amon padah Liyana too.. because she's a sweet and sensitive person.. I'm not too sweet I guess)..
Forth driver is the standard of the Trier, a person driven by Effort. These people are hardworkers and they will never give up...They are enthusiastic, thorough (will look at all the possibilities and options), well-motivated, and yep, they work HARD! The downturn of having this as a driver is that they can turn simple tasks become hard due to the enthusiasm, they may start things, but never finish it..may volunteer for too much, becoming over-committed, and will be more concerned with effort rather than success! I know Sin is a hard-worker who's well motivated, but I think he always finishes his work ba...
Strength reflects the standard of the coper.. they never over-react and panic, they deal calmly with angry, upset or difficult people, and they could deal with difficult and stressful situations. They are very good at handling crisis when others panic, they are very honest, predictable, reliable and steady. But they may have the tendency to be afraid of letting people down. They can be hard to know, because their feelings are covered up. Besides that, they might not be aware of this, but being so strong may make them feel over-loaded inside, because they'd refuse to seek help from people and they hate admitting weakness. They see failure to cope with everything as a weakness. I see a lot of this in Athila. She's a very strong person, but I doubt that she's all emo inside. Maybe she is, who knows... but we love you just the same, hunny :)

I'm gonna continue with this soon... this kinda things are a bit eye-opening when you read more and more on it :P It may not be too accurate, maybe it'd help me work out my hidden strength :D

I'll come back with more... gotta do some work now..

Fortune Cookie Reading: 28-12-2009

What the Cookie says:

Everytime We Say Goodbye (Song by Cole Porter)

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the Godss above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little to me
They allow you to go

When you're near
there's such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

When you're near
Theres such an air
of Spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time you say

Theres no love song finer
But how strange
The change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

Time and Time Again

Sometimes some things are not what it seems? Usually it's like that, but who am I to argue? Life is what life is. It goes round and round.

If You've Been Wondering What I've Been Doing.. :)

I spent a little time with family... (next to me's Carmelia)...

I went to the office (to work *ehmm ehmm*) with Amon.. and we had our own work space :)

I did some drawings.. (this is NOT it! I did this months ago lol)..

... and I attempted a bit of this~.. (sewing)... not done yet.. no time to finish.. :(

Oh yeah.. and yesterday I went hiking and got myself a sprained ankle on the way down. UGH!

Let's view today's reading.. (15-12-2009)

mmmhhhmmmm....mhmmmm...uhuh... okayy.... :Pbila gik duit nak masok??? =.= boleh le.. hehehe... :)

Points to Consider

1) Sleeping hours -- EARLY
2) Eating portion -- SMALL
3) Work out hours -- INCREASED
4) Mood -- POSITIVE 24/7
5) Spending -- REDUCED


Anything else? I'll update soon!

Be AGGRESSIVE~ B-E AGGRESSIVE!

B-E, A-G-G, R-E-S-S-I-V-E!

BE AGGRESSIVE!

This photo was taken this morning. I found these pair while I was trying to find my other skirt (was late for work!) lol. Sempat~ :P

Remember those things you did in secondary school. Those little tiny things that some of us might regret now, some might just laugh it all, and some would actually be proud over it. This is mine. Hehe. I kinda miss my team mate. This morning I found my cheerleading uniform (lalu la reminiscing kejap tek). Cheerleading was so short-lived in our school. There were no support to prolong the activity. But I remember that Mr Tan (our secondary school principal then) was so supportive of us (or was he just indifferent over it? lol). For this blogpost, I'm just going to tag those cheerleader members from not just our team, but also those from other teams. :D If I missed some of the names, please tell me. I think I'd want to include your names here. And I think it'd be best if you have the complete photo of the teams. I'd love to post it in here as well :)


Good Morning~

21 Types of Negative Friends

Does being a bad friend make you a BAD FRIEND?

This image here is of a book I think :P I googled for it~ ngehehe..

12. The Downer (This WAS me. Not anymore. Things have changed me to become better I guess? CONFIDENCE baby, CONFIDENCE!~ Kesian Aizud, my mangsa emo... and Saiful too sometimes :P~ Love you two! )

15. The Loner (NOT ALL THE TIME. Just when I need the space. I can't even be with Chee Sin then... I bet nobody ever notices much... at least I hope that they don't :O )

16. The Blood Sucker (Chee Sin, I'm your girlfriend, yet I am not THAT overly dependent~ :P just trying to make a point here.. :P )

17. The Therapist (kadang2 ingin nak rasa smart ba LOL, I'd only do this when friends are willing to utilise my service :D)

21. The Caretaker (WAS. Naby suka bully me. Whatever~ lol. 21's my favourite number ;) )
