Positive Thinking

Almost a year.

Our baby project has grown a little, with lots of hard work, blood and sweat. I'm serious. PEGMEUP didn't boomed like how it was expected to be. The market is sooo freaking competitive. This one year was fruitful, began to know more people of the retail industry. Opened up many opportunities too, only regret was that we didn't start earlier.

Time was what we had during school days. I regret not doing something productive and ambitious. I was just a young, naive girl welling in love-hate relationships. As I get older and stepped into the working society, I realised that job satisfaction and passion matters. I didn't want to say "I regret" 10 years down the road. So, I did what I should do. It is also now at this point, to evaluate the practicality. I cannot possible end the death of my baby project. It is too heartbreaking. But I need moolahs to support so many commitments and liabilities. How am I going to get by?

I know I can't have the best of both worlds. We always end up at a juncture, weigh the pros and cons and hope that we will make THE right decision. Positive thinking, positive thinking. I'm kind of stress as to what exactly will happen when September comes. To side-track abit, I am amazed how my thoughts got stronger as compared to 5 years ago. Was such a crybaby and depression-ist.

I read an article worth to keep
(http://thelawofattractionnetworks.ning.com/profiles/blogs/positive-thinking-finding-the-gift-in-every-situation):

Positive Thinking: Finding the Gift in Every Situation
When life places obstacles in our path, when things seem like they're breaking down and we grow weary of the struggle, it's a good time to step back and look for the gift. What gift, you say? Every situation and experience in life holds a gift, lesson or blessing for us. Yes, even the really painful experiences, like the loss of a loved one, an automobile accident, or natural disaster. There is a gift there, if we look for it.

To find the gift, we simply have to ask ourselves, "What positive lesson can I learn from this? How can this situation benefit me? What wisdom can I gain from this experience? What makes this situation worthwhile to experience in my life?" We can learn from anything in our lives, from a snag in our pantyhose to a migraine headache. We can learn from our disappointments, our heartaches, and our joy.

We can do this with any situation too, not just negative ones. Where is the gift in a boring Sunday afternoon, a crying infant or a gray, rainy wedding day? All we need to do is choose to see the positive side of the situation. The gift of a boring Sunday afternoon might be expressing gratitude for having some free time to express our creativity or enjoy a good book. A crying infant can teach us patience, compassion and nurturing. A rainy wedding day can help us understand what really matters, the celebration of love and meaningful connections with our friends and family.

Second day of 2013.

Time flies.

It is only this time that I blog. And it is only this time when I take time to reflect.

2012 has been very enriching. Taking daring steps out from comfort zone, and into a total brand new experience. Never have I thought that I would pursue my passion. I gave up a lot to be where I am right now. I lament that I didn't cherish what I have. When I look back, the work is not tough at all. The colleagues (some) and bosses are nice. The salary is decent enough for frequent overseas holidays. So what was it that makes me want to jump out so much?

Satisfaction. Passion. Motivation.

These are the things I find myself losing as the days get longer in my previous employment. I was once a young engineer filled with passion and excitement. But somehow, it is depleting at an accelerated rate. I became constantly looking out for new pockets of challenges, learning experiences and motivation. I think I found it, and I am doing it. 2013 shall be a year of realisation. Balancing between passion and finances, the  opportunity cost and the experience gained.

2013 shall also be a year of wedding preparations. It marks the start on another chapter of life. There are many things in which I am grateful for, especially my family and my love for supporting me during this period of time. It is tough!!!

A Reminder to Self


something found on facebook worth to note.

A SLICE OF LIFE - Keep On Moving!

If there's one great truth in this life, it's that nothing lasts forever.
Everything is in a state of flux and undulation. We are born, we die. The day gives way to night, and the night gives way to day. We inhale, then exhale. The storm hits, then passes.

When we are hurt and depressed though, it can feel as though the darkness will never lift. Life feels like a burden. If we allow ourselves to believe this, and keep ourselves buried in this subterranean emotional plane, naturally the air will thin and we'll never know any light. But if we understand that this is just a phase, if we keep reaching up, digging towards the surface, we'll soon be above ground.

Of course, happiness too, doesn't last... joys lead to sorrows, which go on to lead to other joys. And when what gives us joy leaves or passes, again we experience sorrow. True peace in life doesn't lie in being constantly happy. It's in the deeper appreciation of happiness while it lasts, the acceptance of the sadness when it goes, and the knowledge that the sadness too, will pass, and we will find new happiness.

Whatever "negative" thought or emotion that's afflicting you at the moment, remember it's only temporary. Gravitate towards the goals that you still have, the people and things that can still give you joy.

The important thing is not to stay stuck. Tell yourself "This too will pass" and keep on moving.

im turning back to blogging again.


Writing is a way which i think i can remind myself to think positive. its a wonder how i always fall apart and go into withdrawal mode. Though i understand the need to be patient and put in effort... the environment just somehow swallows me and puts me into a dark tunnel with no light. The inferior self sets in and everything seem impossible. the dreams, the plans, the future.. turns to a bleak.

there was so much in me that i wish to express, and more often than not, i chose to hide, escape and run away. i used to think that i've become more independent than before, more adventurous than who i was 5 years ago. Indeed, the journey thus far was full of learning and self realisation. i cannot stop and will not stop chasing the dream. i accept your criticisms because i know you want me to be better.

"if you want to change someone, you have to first change yourself." Remind me, if i'm falling short of expectation. Praise me when I have done the mark. I strive to pursue my dream. To the future, cheers.

Gone with 2011, its the new year again

i haven't been blogging, for like almost a year.

I took this chance to stay at home on the last day of 2011 to reflect upon this special year. The thing I want to change, remains. My 2011 resolution didnt work out. (shit) Honestly, i've grown into my comfort zone, and thats deadly. Perhaps i'm generally satisfied, took a step back and the big picture is still rather pretty.

There were many instances that I kept reminding myself to be proactive, to be motivated. But that part of me seems to be disintegrating away. I shall learn not to be overly-dependent and have the "watch how it goes" attitude. I need a change.

2011 was a year on fast-forward mode. The days and months zoomed past. Got a flat, got a car, and what's next? It was a year of which i feel that i've grown old. That someday, i may be someone's wife, have a house of my own, and embrace another new family. I can never be the parents' kid anymore. A bigger responsibility waiting ahead. That makes my stomach churns.

Anyhoo, I shall take on whatever challenge that is install for me, and make it better! Stay positive! Happy 2012 to all! :D

有人告诉过我说

当可以把流到眼角的泪吞回肚里时, 那就是坚强。

i can't believe i've fallen once again, to the anxiety and tears and uncertainties ahead. Being the usual inconfidence and pessimistic self, I've sunk and struggled so hard to survive.

I was hiding in my shell and comfort zone, so long that the goals were fogged and determinations gone. It was at the trough that I finally decided, to look further and beyond what ahead lies.
