Quizzes and Tests

Most people know that quizzes and tests are meant for evaluation purposes only and nothing solid is to be crowned over one's head via the result. Recently facebook has got a lot of different quizzes and tests going around. Some were created with some degree of research others were for killing time only.

To me it is not about how accurate a test say about me but going through a series of imaginary and creative studies really allow me to take a closer look, perhaps paying a more serious attention on what I might have probably been ignoring all these while.

So picking up these steps in answering questions while listening to the answer to flow from within quiets me down.

What say me? The one inside who is boldly answering everything with honesty.

Do I like the quizzes? Let's put it as I appreciate the effort of allowing myself to sink into the silence...

What's Waiting For Me?

The past one month has been tremendous. I have had several very precious lessons on how to really live in present, embrace what is it really in me, listen to the inner voice and knowing that what's lying ahead isn't so much important than being ready to accept whatever comes along etc.

With every little bit that I pick up from realizing who I really am from inside I get to see a clearer picture about things happening around and on me.

My horoscope prediction for June:
Matters of the heart that caused you to shirk responsibilities in April or May are, by now, mere notches in your belt. Any wounds may not have healed, but you can't cry over spilt emotions. It's time to pick yourself up and go to the office or school or your study and apply that derriere to seat of chair. Your work life will be teeming with opportunities this June which will provide just the right ambiance in which to get serious about work. When love becomes so complex that it holds you back from pursuing your goals, then it is subtracting from your life - not adding anything. New levels of responsibility will provide the chance now to utilize unexploited creative strengths. Effective use of technological resources will aid you in your efforts. Be sure not to take on more duties than you can handle. Your skills will be in high demand. But you are only human. Your family is recovering from a challenging period in May. Whatever happened then could well serve to bring you all closer than ever before. Familial roles may be redefined as you enter a new period of support and affection for one another. Your oh-so-Libran tendency to be quarrelsome will have to be put on the back burner as you take on the role of diplomat and nurturer. Be sure not to neglect your own health whilst caring for others. Real illness is unlikely, but you should be sure to maintain general good fettle by exercising more and getting as much rest as possible under the circumstances. .


Things to expect in June:
1. Your work life will be teeming with opportunities this June which will provide just the right ambiance in which to get serious about work.
2. New levels of responsibility will provide the chance now to utilize unexploited creative strengths.
3. Your skills will be in high demand.
4. Be sure not to take on more duties than you can handle.
5. But you are only human



Haha, great! I'm looking forward to a wonderful month!

Alignment

Time flies.

I've been with Lifeworks for almost a month now. Got my new pay yesterday but the amount somehow did not turn out to be what I expect.

I tried work out the possible reason(s) for the difference hoping I could sort it out myself without asking but turns out I fail to get the answer.

I know I have been ignoring my real and true feeling for the sake of other people's priority and one thing that I must learn is to know how to express my true self so that I can align my head and heart.


I am learning...

Love of the Family

Lifeworks got its soft launch on the same day my dad celebrates his birthday as well as the day Malaysian celebrates Wesak Day so you can imagine how my day is filled with a series of events, including traffic jam.

Actually everything was supposed to be ok - Lifeworks in the morning till evening and continue to the restaurant for birthday dinner, except the journey between 2 places was all congested due to the Wesak Day parade.

Lifework is in Pulau Tikus while the restaurant is in Macalister Road. The distance isn't very long, but the traffic ate most of the road. So a journey of this, approximately 10mins:


becomes this:


which took us more than 30min to reach.

Anyway, we reached somehow and because we were in the VIP room so we shared all our fun without worrying about how others see our stupid look and even manage to see the parade from the window.

Happy Anniversary dad and mom. May you both love each other more everyday, and stay healthy & happy!

Beginning a Different Journey

Today is the first day I start this new work. What's on the surface doesn't seem so different from what I did for the past 15years (MAN, age is really catching up!) but the very first day has given me a very different prospect - I am not only doing what I did all these while.

In fact, I learn.

Yes I learn.

How we get along, with heart. A true heart that we share our values and true feelings but never take words personally or having hard feelings.

The morning was interesting. The locksmith shared his experience with me. From a series of different little wisdom I realize how incredible he is. The casual chat taught me a lot, and he's even very kind to have bought me strawberry milk when he went out to catch a drink. Thank you Mr. Lim, for the very precious and wonderful sharing. From you I learn it isn't about how people treat you but how you see yourself and how you wisely utilize life teachings and experiences to become the best way to present yourself. Thank you very very much...

The work ends with another great conversation too. Jenn threw her heart out shared her views and how she'd tried to figure out why I am always being left behind for different activities. And yes it isn't about what lady boss say or how our values/understanding conflicts but how all these information works together to bring out the real and true feelings inside. Thank you Jenn for showing me that point of ponder. And Tristen, thanks for always look after me like a big brother showing your care and concern.

I look forward to the Open Channeling tomorrow with Toni to see beyond the horizon.

And Jenn, thanks for being so close at heart. Besides this, my most sincere appreciation on your understanding and acceptance that I am ready to change position even I'm there for just a few days. Hugz, you're always my favorite darling (sadhu sadhu sadhu).

And honey, thank you for always believing in me providing me the best support in every pursue I make.

Make Life Works

The past one week has been rather overwhelming. Of what? Jenn has decided to become spiritual, I mean really spiritual, by setting up a holistic centre and she's gathered people who can contribute a little of themselves to make the big picture complete. And I am one of the many who join the workforce. So basically I was there helping up the preparation from about 10 in the morning until late at night and yesterday was the soft launching of the centre.


From Monday onwards that place will be a centre that provides health care through karuna yoga (and pilate soon, I guess) and spiritual wellness via channeling and a series of different guidances including oracle cards reading, and also healing process. Besides this, there will be different workshops from well-known tutors and channelers from all over the world from time to time to help people alleviate their spiritual consciousness and wellbeing.


If I am not mistaken this would be the first centre of its kind in Penang that provide such services and I believe with the increasing stress level due to busy lifestyles the centre is able to provide a very good balance to help people ease the pressure.

Unleash the Real You - Even it's a beast

Yesterday was kinda memorable - I settled my income-tax matter (like it's a big deal huh) and we went to cinema for X-men Origins: Wolverine. Oh yes, Joie knows I like to see Hugh Jackman and he's very very sweet to have bought the ticket in advance to secure a good seat.


Well honestly speaking it isn't as good as I hoped it would but it's ok. I mean (probably I was paying more attention on seeing Hugh than the story itself) this one is meant to reveal how Jimmy become Logan then into Wolverine. So the story is not very strong, not so much in showing his real feeling but focusing more on the entertainment side. You know, the six-packed and very sexily exposed hairy chest, even naked back running on the field giving women heart attack.

Anyway, I still like it (like I said it could be because of Jack instead) because I think one thing about this movie is about accepting the true us.

Both Kayla and Stryker has a very different perspective but thought-provoking sentence:
Stryker's - Become the animal. Embrace the other side.
Kayla's - You are not an animal.

We may not necessarily act on it but at least we acknowledge the real person inside. Sometimes it could be cruel because the so called "the other side of me" may not be very appealing and we'll have problem embracing the true self. But knowing that we do not surpress the feeling of knowing ourselves doesn't mean releasing the wilderness to become our practice. It allows us to understand and accept who we really are so that we can find the way to bring out the best in us.

So, when you're offered "I promise you will have your revenge", remember "we all got a choice, Son. " But always make sure you have your true self understood.

That, is what I have learned.

I'm Impressed. Very Impressed!!

I went to our national inland revenue board to check my pin number and I must admit: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE SERVICE OF OUR GOVERNMENT SERVANT!!!!

No joke, all other departments of government sectors in Malaysia is well-known with their below par service - insufficient smile, bad manners, bad efficiency etc. But this one, this one really open my eyes.

I was greeted with a very friendly smile by a very polite young man at the entrance giving assistance to people coming for their income tax matter and when I reach the relevant floor to require for my pin number the lady talked to me with very kind manners (and with smile) and asked if I'd like to do the tax submission there. The place was totally crowded but the attitude is well-maintained! I replied that I'd like to have the pin number and do the submission elsewhere and so she asked for my ID card for verification and printed me the required number. She's even kind enough to show me how I should do the online tax submission. I thanked her and left after that very short conversation.

Honestly speaking I was feeling very pleased and the first thing I told Joie when I got into his car is about all these good treatment that I just received and he replied, "Yes they have the best manners amongst all government sectors, very well-known already."

Bravo to Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri!!!

Headache

I think I have all of these:


I don't know what's the reason but I've always had headache that irritates me, like everyday. I went to see the doctor and was told I would probably have migraine and some friends say it could be due to the coffee habit (whereby skipping coffee will cause headache). My dad says, "because you sleep late; because you're hungry and the gas generated by your stomach is giving your head a pain."

Well, all sorts of reasons but I can have no cure. At least not really helping me to cut down the number of occurrence. The weather gives me headache, gastric gives me headache, coffee (I really find this funny because the coffee that I'm drinking is as dilute as plain water) gives me headache. Recently I have another good reason to give me headache too - pillow.

Yep, I've tried different types of pillow - hard, soft, contour etc but still can't wake up to feeling real fresh because so far none have given me a good night sleep.

Sigh...

Bring it On!!!!!

Sometimes it is just inevitable - to bump into jerk(s) in our life.

What's worse is: they're so used to appear in images that is superior than us, either older or having higher post. What are they good at? Nothing more than making people's life difficult.

It is somehow like their common quality. You just can't even have that tiny little hope in having a small space to breath. They'll choke you whenever their wind comes.

I listened to someone's grumble yesterday and the incidents recalled the days I once had in years - where the pressure was breathing right at my neck.

The common outcome is QUIT. Not right away because that'd mean I'm too lame to even try to show I am capable of coping. But in time after I have learned how to master the skills.
Just like Friedrich Nietzsche said, "What Doesn't Destroy Me Makes Me Stronger!"

I said to her, "thanks to the "trainer" who'd pushed you to the limit and brought out the best in you. Because only then you can soar when you meet with the one who see your real potentials are."

We do not deserve to be treated badly forever. Spread the wings and show our true capability especially to people who appreciate our qualities.
