Learning and wasting

Published on: 5:35 PM by A.A. -
My current boss is a Professor and a doctor. A Hand Surgeon. A very good one, one of the best in the country. A mother and a wife.
She's an awesome lady - almost like Superwoman!
I have been here for only two weeks but I have learned so much. From my colleagues and of course, from my boss. She has been an inspiration, we were talking about random stuffs yesterday morning and somehow the topic of learning came out.
She said; "My husband likes to learn. For him, everything should be a learning experience"
It got me thinking; "If you take everything as a learning experience, you would not feel as if you are wasting time or doing something pointless. Subsequently, things will have more meaning"
Even when you reply emails, try to think of what you can learn from the 'simple act of replying emails'. You can improve your communication skills and you can try use a new word while composing your email etc.
Then that simple act would give more meaning.
My boss listens to french lessons on the radio while driving to/fro work. Hm, maybe I should do that too. Thinking I should try Mandarin or French. Mandarin because I have a lot of Chinese friends, so it would be nice to be able to converse in Mandarin with em. French because I wanna visit France again someday; tehehe...
Every seconds should be used to learn something new. It's interesting how people can give you ideas without them realizing it. If everyone in this world give such great ideas or advice to others, can you imagine the possibilities?
Cliche but true.
Happy wednesday everyone!

Cheer leader

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up
~ Mark Twain

Come on, let’s get real. We don’t need Mark Twain to remind us that. It is common sense!
Yet, as humans, we always forget. Funny, innit?

When was the last time you made someone happy?

The day went by..

Published on: 9:20 PM by A.A. -
The day went by slowly today. Which was a good thing, because I wanted to slow down. A chance to recollect my thoughts, organize things and PLAN.

I feel kinda bad yesterday. I was focusing on the negative energies around me that I missed the other significant things. I have missed the bigger picture.

“Are you high on drugs?”

Published on: 8:23 PM by A.A. -
There are times when I feel freakishly happy and ebullient and people would be asking;
“Are you high on drugs?”
And I would say; “It’s either the weather, the adrenalin, or maybe you!”
Most of the time,

“Je suis une etudiente”

Published on: 8:42 PM by A.A. -
Yes, it is official peeps!
“Je suis une etudiente”

Where? KL. Cheaper & closer to home (not mine tho). Hopefully I can finally learn how to swim and take up French class. Knowing how to speak French would be an excellent excuse to visit France again or maybe, Canada! Tehehe…

‘I want to be in someone else’s shoes’ disease

Published on: 6:02 AM by A.A. -
Do you find yourself more interested in other people’s lives? Somehow, others’ lives seem far more fascinating than yours?

It’s a disease. I call it ‘I want to be in someone else’s shoes’ disease.

History

Published on: 6:05 PM by A.A. -
“Losers look back and blame History for their failures
Winners look forward and create History instead
And you can either choose to be part of History or just read about History from some History books
And I… Well, I got an A for History in my final year exam… Hahaha…”

After all that hard work, I am still underweight.

Keep on keeping on

“You gotta keep on keeping on” Liam said.

Liam from Oasis. Technically, he didn’t actually say it TO ME. It was more like I listened to him on the radio.

Our Bloody Mission

Published on: 5:39 PM by A.A. - Leave a Comment
I like to think of great things to do.
To make tomorrow a better day.
Not just for me but for every single being on earth. I heard from somewhere that if you help others, you are actually helping yourself.

When I was 13, I wanted to become a doctor. Somehow along the way,

Lacto-Ovo-Vegetarian

Published on: 8:54 PM by A.A. -
When I arrived home last week, I made an announcement in front of my parents and sisters:
“I am a Vegetarian”
Mum: You had lunch?

I have checked the results. The one that I’ve been waiting for months.

I had Australia’s Outback and images of kangaroos hopping around; in my head for a while now. Tehehe…

I typed my ID and clicked ‘SUBMIT’, the next page immediately appeared with a big

Tomorrow is going to be different

Published on: 12:12 AM by A.A. -
Yesterday I said “Tomorrow is going to be different. I’m gonna start fresh”
I said the same thing the day before yesterday.
Does that happen to you? Wanting to do something but end up doing something else?
Like going to the shop to buy milk and end up with:

I am lucky

Published on: 9:15 PM by A.A. -
Some people say that black cat brings good luck.
I think everyone is lucky. It’s just that we don’t realize it.
The stupid black cat has nothing to do with your luck. Okay, maybe the black cat ain’t stupid. But the idea of believing a black cat brings good fortune sounds senseless to me. But that’s just me.

Cycling in Malaysia (in conjunction with Bike Month)

Published on: 6:43 PM by A.A. - Leave a Comment
Did you know that in Utah, May is Bike Month? It’ll be really cool and awesome if we could organize something like that in the area; maybe start small; start with just 20 to 30 people. Okay, maybe I don’t know that many people in the neighborhood. So we start with just a few people… Me and that
kid next door.

Being ill & responsible

Published on: 10:32 PM by A.A. -
I have been away the whole week; not traveling nor having fun but staying in bed recuperating from flu.

No worries, it’s not swine flu. I think.

It all started on Sunday when I was feeling a bit weird and uncomfortable.

How to save the world

Published on: 6:23 PM by A.A. -
I want to save the world. It’s my childhood dream. But I’m no Supergirl nor Catwoman… Hm, but Catwoman’s hot, huh?

Anyway, I believe that even an average girl like me can make a difference in this world. After all, great success starts from small beginnings. So today, I shall start my small beginning in my aspiring attempt to save the world. Who knows, this might get others thinking, “Hey, that’s

I’ve been eating bread A LOT. Except today. Someone bought me breakfast today.

Today, I had the best lunch this week. With my bestest friend forever (will be referred as BFF from today onwards).

Anyway, someone gave me 35 ringgit today.

Drop it like a bad habit

Published on: 11:01 AM by A.A. -
It is already 10:30am, and I’ve only slept one hour this morning. Had a short, insignificant chat with Ecah on the rabbits (I am allergic to rabbits - such a shame, they could've been great pets, an important/personal part of my life. Now I can only think of them as dinner)
