Take Time to Work~

Something that I find it meaningful:~ 

Take Time to Work

Take time to work,
it is the price to success. 
Take time to think,
it is the source of power.
Take time to play,
it is the secret of perpetual youth. 
Take time to read,
it is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to be friendly,
it is hitching your wagon to a star.
Take time to love and be loved,
it is a God-given privilege.
Take time to look around,
the day is too short to be selfish.
Take time to laugh, 
it is the music of the soul. 

Quote that I agree with: "Accept responsibilities for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else" - Les Brown. 

Emotional Intelligence~~

Emotional Intelligence:


1. Self Awareness - FOCUS ur attention on ur emotional state- being aware, in-the-moment, of wad u're feeling. Are you happy, excited, worried or angry? Given that information about ur emotional state, wad should (or shouldnt) u do or say next? Use dat information to help u make effective decisions to achieve better outcomes for yourself and others.


2. Self Regulation - Having the skill to be able to choose the emotions u wan to experience, rather than being the victim of wadever emotions occur - not letting others "push ur buttons". It is about possessing the ability to manage ur emotional state. Do not confuse this with "burying" or "stuffing" ur feelings. The skill to choose the emotions u want - typically to be able to TRANSFORM negative draining emotional states into positive productive ones.


3. Self Motivation - The ability to use ur emotions to cause urself to take positive action to continue to persistently pursue goals even in the face of significant adversity or difficulty. This is about USING ur emotions to be positive, optimistic, confident and persistent rather than negative, pessimistic and second-guessing urself and ur decisions.

4. Empathy -  The ability to LISTEN effectively and accurately enuf to put urself in other person's shoes. This is not necessarily to agree with them, but to truly understand the situation from their point-of-vie in order to IMPROVE communication, problem-solving and trust.


5. Nurturing Relationships - The ability to DEMONSTRATE sincere care for others. Through word and deed, demonstrate appreciation for ppl's effort and contribution. This is about setting a positive tone of cooperation no matter how difficult the situation or conversation and having other's best interests in mid while focusing on achieving goals to create win-win outcomes.

Lies~~

So why do we tell lies?

I tell a lie today, but i duno y i tell lie. I just dont wan to answer so much, so i tell a lie. And this stupid lie make my night so miserable. Haih... Sorry~~ 

4 different types of stress:~

Stress ah stress!!! So where do all these stresses come from??? 

There are four different types of stress:

1. Physical Stress: Happens when the body becomes tired and exhausted after heavy physical activities.

2. Mental Stress: The "stress" that affects our feelings, emotions, mood and behaviour, such as work-related stress and relationship problems.

3. Oxidative Stress: Stress imposed on the body by free radicals generated by our body or from external source, such as pollution and ultra-violet radiation.

4. Metabolic Stress: Occurs when we are suffering from illness or when recovering from surgery, fractures or diseases. Stress drains our energy and leaves us feeling low and lethargic. So, to prevent energy loss, we need to combat stress.

There are several ways to fight stress and boost our energy levels. One of the most effective ways is to supplement our bodies with a combination of Vitamin B-Complex, Vitamin C and Zinc. 

a. Vitamin B-Complex supports the process of energy production by metabolising carbohydrate, fat and protein. It also maintains a healthy nervous system, regulates appetite, stimulates growth and strengthen muscles. 

b. Vitamin C boosts the body's immune system against infections 

c. Zinc improves vitality and helps to prevent colds and hair loss, promotes faster recovery from illness, and wound healing.

Bui si lo~~

戏中的含意

最进看了不少的drama, 发现到这些的戏中带有它的教诲:- 这些都是在人生当中所发生的.

打个比方: 韩戏剧的49 天.

- 她每天都希望有人真心为她掉泪, 无时无刻不在想着复活, 在 49 天内的希望, 都在寻找为她流下真心的泪.

以前可能对你不是很好, 但, 最终还是那个人是对你真心的. or vice versa. 所以说: dont judge the book by its cover. 有时, 站在不一样的角度去想可能会让你发现原来....

另外一个戏剧是犀利人妻.

- 以前有一对恩爱夫妻和一个女儿, 原本过着幸福快乐的日子. 有一天, 来了那所谓的" 堂妹"竟然喜欢上她堂姐的老公. 那老公也渐渐的喜欢上"堂妹". 后来,当那位妻子知道这件事, 她当然很心痛, 想尽办法去挽回她的婚姻. 可是, 那老公居然不顾一切的后果都要和那堂妹在一起. 那妻子

刚开始想要自爆自齐.后来,经过几位的鼓励和支持下, 她就重新找回自我,比以前还要有信心

和更坚强. 最后比老公更有势力! 

That's why have to 站起来找那勇气和勇敢. 不要因为挫折而自爆自齐.

Lol... I will try to practise that too! Hmm.. sometimes watching drama can be good too! XP 
haha... 

Treasure~~

Treasure... What is treasure??? Treasure as in rich?? Wealth may be important, however, if the verb treasure is neglected, then the noun treasure might be worthless. To learn or understand the importance of treasure sb or sth is crucial as time waits for no man. Anything can happen, regardless of good or bad. Sth bad such as the natural disaster (Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami as the most recent) has caused catastrophic effects. And, it triggers tsunami warning for countries all around the Pacific Ocean. Really hope that everything will be alright.

Treasure what you have now... Try not make so much complaint (i admit that I do release my frustrations quite a lot.. aiks aiks... and i am trying to release 'em out with a good way.), Treasure your family and friends. =)

If someone doesnt treat you good or as good as before, or maybe coz u have done sth wrong, perhaps just let that someone to cool down first and figure out what to do next.

Friends may always be apart someday and until then, there will be a distance in between. However, as long as the friendship remains and as before, there wont be any worries to be friends forever (This will also occurs at other relationships). To have this, "treasure" is again playing its role. ;)

Cheers~~~

新的一年...

新年可说是快乐的时光. 偶尔呢却可说是有个忙碌又疲倦的日子. 坦白的说, 我有点越来越不太喜欢新年了.. 可能是因为太多的事情好做吧.. 我看到左邻右舍都是大家一起打扫, 而我却是一个人在家的.. 真的有点羡慕咯.. 呵呵.. 希望明年的新年会比较好吧... =)

最熟悉的陌生人...

熟悉的陌生人

还记得吗
窗外那被yue光ran亮的海洋
你还记得吗
是爱让彼此把夜点亮
为何后来我们 用沉默取代依赖
曾经lang lang星空
渐渐阴霾

心碎离开
转身回到guo初荒凉里等待
为了寂寞
是否找个人填心中空白
我们变成了世上
zui熟悉的陌生人
今后各自曲折
各自悲哀
只怪我们爱得那么汹涌
爱得那么深
于是梦醒了 搁浅了 沉默了 挥手了
却回不了神
如guo当初在交会时能忍住了
激动的灵魂
也许今夜我不会让自己在思念里
沉沦

27th July...

This month is quite a tiring month.. I got back from Melb and have to do my internship placement, Not long after that, my mum went for operation and I have to take care of her. There’s so much thing to do and I have to say that I really admire those women who work while able to handle housework, also to keep the house in a clean and tidy. After work, I have to go home and prepare dinner for family. Then have to wash clothes and fold clothe, sometimes ironing the clothes. I am not so good in managing all these in a day lo.. I was so so so so so exhausted ah after all these. Haha.. That is also why I don’t really online ki.. Too many things to do then too tired to online liao ah.. Every morning when I wake up, I wish to have more time on sleeping. So this come to my mind, how can the adults handle all these esp those who need to send their kids to school too??? Mmm… 5 sth wake up, then prepare breakfast for kids, then send kids to sch, then go for work, then after work, have to prepare dinner for family. After washing all the dishes and frying pans,… send kids to tuition? Or check whether they do their homework? Or spend some time watching tv? Wow!!! There’s not much time left to online before go zzz eh.. Hehe.. Play game oso cannot play too long oh.. If not, the next day sure cannot work under a good condition. Haha..

One month is coming to the end… My internship is going to over… And I am going to melb le.. Mmm… New sem is coming and that is going to be my last sem.. Hopefully this coming sem is goin to be nice and smooth.. =)

I have so many things undone oso eh.. Havent go watch movie de.. Havent go out eat dinner… Havent go shopping de.. Havent buy what I wan so I can bring over. Hehe… Only manage to go out eat with Shirley, Josey for the moment and also meet up with abubu them nia… *piak my head.

Time flies...

Time really passes very fast. Now is already Week 11 eh. OH MY LO!!! Need to get motivated in doing my fyp, assignments and study for final!!! Was very upset with something then after videocalling with bro and mum, I felt a lot better but only last for a while. My didi draw a lot of cute pics for me!! Haha… Although there’s some not good de. Grrrr…. But really appreciate that a lot. I even save them and put one of them as my wallpaper. Haha..

Sometimes I feel lonely here lo. Maybe coz not living with own family and not much friends around tend to cause that kind of feeling. Sometimes when wan to ask for accompany, also very hard to find it at here. Luckily there’s this thing called “Internet”. Haha..

Nways, I also start to do things alone. Went to Vic Market alone and luckily can find the place. Phew… I have to admit that my sense of direction is quite lousy so need time for improvement. Hehe..

As for the final, I am going to have two tests on a day and is held at Festival Hall. Well, I have no idea where is Festival Hall. Only know is near Docklands. So have to find a day to go find it by myself. Sometimes I am quiet scared to explore alone eh… Coz I am scared that I might get lost in the middle of nowhere! Haha.. But then, I always can get through with it. Phew…

Another thing that bothers me is that I kinda feel so useless lo.. Is either by doin so is to be nice to me, or I am too dumb to do important things. I seriously don’t feel good for not doing work lo. Aiks aiks.. Feel feel like I am not needed or sth. I noe I am not so smart la.. but I will do my very best to get things done oh.. Hmmm…

This week is Week 12 le.. Going to have my BIS access lab test then infra assignment then research papers! Wish me luck! See ya for now.. =)

S.M.I.L.E...

I bought this few weeks ago... Why ah??? hmmm.. to motivate me tak chek ba... plus to cheer me up lo... Haha... Since there's 50% discount gok... ;)

Now is oredi Week 9 eh... So nervous ah!!!!!!!!! So many things to think gok... hmph.... How i wish I can have a long holiday lo... Then can have a good sleep, provided that I can get rid of the train ah!!! grrrr....

WHY??? WHY? WHY???

There is indeed a lot of questions on “WHY?”. Why why why??? There’s simple WHY questions and complicated WHY questions…

Why is it like this?
And Why is it like that?
Why do you have to be like this?
And Why do you have to be like that?
Why do you like this?
And Why do you dislike that?
Why do you love this?
And Why do you hate that?
Why do you prefer this and not that?
Why do you have to make such decision but not the other one?

Why do you have to think so much?
And why can’t you stop thinking?
Why do you have to be sad or upset?
And why not just let it go or forget about it?
Why do you miss someone?
And why you can’t forget about that someone?
Why is it that I have to listen to you?
And why can’t I have my own point of view?
Why do you reject instead of accept?

WHY WHY WHY???

Although the WHY questions seem to have an answer or answers to them, there is a possibility that the WHY questions could not be answered. So, why is this so? Again, the WHY question arise… Haha…

Ok la.. Don’t make things too complicated. Ignore the WHY questions when u r doing something. Don’t make these WHY questions to bother you. Keep your mind away from the WHY questions!!! Lol… (if only it is that easy… I know I know… hehe).

However, sometimes thinking and having a solution or answers to the WHY question may be beneficial… Haha… You may ask “Why is that so??” Mmm….

Let’s say in most of the time, you have the answer for the WHY question/(s), is just that you will prefer to say:”I don’t know….”. Right? ;)

So, why do you have to say I don’t know while you do know why… Hmmm… Sometimes, you feel lazy to talk bout it or you totally don’t feel like talking bout it. And sometimes, the answer is the Secret… Ooo….

My diary...

Fri…

It was an early flight. I was surprised that you managed to wake up even though you cant send me off in time. I was very happy and of course, sad when you called. I cried when talking to you halfway eh. Duno if you realised or not. Hehe.. I cried when I go to the boarding room. Well, I have to say i miss my family lo.. During the transit, I have mistaken the letter G to letter C. Haha. Quickly, I make an “U-turn” and try to find where is gate C. When I reached, I wait for approximately 2 hours at the meeting point, just to wait for other students to arrive. Back then, I was hungry, thirsty and tired. While I am inside the bus, all I wanted to do is to eat then sleep. I was the only girl and the rests were mostly from India and Pakistan. I could remember their name except for one. If I am not mistaken, his name is Vindeet. They are mostly having either master course or postgraduate course. I arrived at the place after midnite!!! I was so so so hungry and tired. Luckily, Mr. Gentleman brought me to MCD. Hehe..

I couldn’t sleep that night. I was thinking and crying? Hmmm... I’m so like ku bao ho? Well, this is the first time I leave home and come to a new place all by myself. So lo... I really miss u guys.. Those whom I shouldn’t miss, I miss too. LOL.. Hmm.. What talking me? Well, It’s so late now and I am still in front of the computer typing. sengkeng 1... What to do? I CANT SLEEP! ={

Sat…

Today, Mr. Gentleman brought me to Federation Square. So, we bought the train tickets and head to the Flinders Streets. Then we went into a place called NGV International. I was curious what does NGV stands for. So Mr. G was guessing Non-government sth. Well, that comes to my mind too at first! Haha.. Nways, NGV stands for National Gallery of Victoria. Then have lunch at the . The gong pao chicken is not spicy de even though it is written there (spicy) in the menu. Hehe.. Went to the State Library of Victoria as well.

Sun…

The next day, we went to Victoria Market. It was a funny and nice experience coz I get to see how those from different meat stalls shout to promote the price of the food. Haha… Let me recall wad I have bought.. Hmm.., I bought prawns, lamb meat, sausages. Then we went to the vegetables section and we saw SMALL CHILLI!!!! So for those who told me that there isn’t any small chilli in Melbourne ah… ahem ahem.. =P And of course, I bought 1 stalk. HAHA. In the afternoon, I went to buy Angel Hair and it has offer price which is 3 dollar for 2. So I cooked that and vege for dinner. Mr. G cooked vege and salmon. We have like 5 dishes for dinner, including the chicken meat from the day before. Nice one~! Hehe.. We went for a walk after that and meet Mr.Sam. He was alone so he follow us to the city. We went to BIG W and buy my pillow, frying pan (coz the one in unilodge is not in good condition), towels (2 for AUD10) and so on… So 2 Mr.gentleman help me to carry my stuff.. Paiseh la.. and Xie lar.. hehe..

Mon…

The orientation day was at the Town Hall and the enrolment day will be 2 days after. The last time I went online is enter the library “illegally” as we do not have the student ID card yet. So boh pien lo.. hehe.. Hope I can faster get my ID card so I can have internet access and ONline!.. hehe.. In the late evening, I went Coles with one of my housemate. Again, there’s this offer like 2 for AUD sth.. So me and her each bought 1 but in the same receipt since it is actually cheaper. ;) I planned to sleep early tonight but then something came up. So in the end, I am still awake till now (2.02am). AISI AH!!! Flashing back, I was complaining that I was very very very sleepy during and before the orientation.

Tues…

As for today, I had a long walk along the streets where I get to know shops such as pharmacy, supermarkets, restaurants, church, schools and etc. The price of hair cut for guys is AUD13 whereas AUD15 for girls!!! Hmmm… Also, I saw a very nice wedding dress! Lol.. We had our lunch or I should say high tea at Petalling Street. I ordered curry laksa while ah jie had nasi pataya and ah sam ordered sth beef with rice. The portion of curry laksa was big for me so I have to tapao some back. Sengkeng ah if can finish all.. haha.. Oh ya, before that, I had icecream at the cones. 3 scoops of different flavor somemore! The 1st scoop was quite sweet but overall was quite nice! Hehe..

Wed…
Nth much happen today as the duration for enrolment was so long! The elective subjects which I would like to take in the coming semester will only be offered in the next semester lo.. Haih… Because of this, my enrolment of the subjects is so troublesome and I end up finish everything at 6 sth.. Was so so so hungry ah! Hehe..

Thurs…
I woke up late today then headed up to school but end up queuing in a LONG line to get free noodle. Haha.. At a moment, a lady was giving out a small parcel which is actually from the health service. As I opened, I took out a highlight pen. Then ok lo.. The next thing I took out is c….. . ARGH! Then I shouted oh shit then there’s 2 guys looking at me… *paiseh si la!* I think the noodle was quite nice lo.. even though the ingredient consisted of mee, bak choy, cucumber and little bit of meat. After that, we went to IKEA and Kmart today to buy thicker blanket, bed sheet, laundry bag and clothes hanger.
