Frangipani & Poinsettia




I guess now its time to start a blog like everyone else. Most friends that I know has got a least one blog of their own. Even my sister has started her own blog! Some are very, very interesting, funny and very imaginative. You know who you are! Well, I guess this is part of my new year resolution, a small contribution of my recollection of events and happening. I hope mine will be as interesting, imaginative and colourful as I experienced them. Like 2006, hopefully this year will be as interesting and colourful for me. Part of new resolutions, perhaps?

As I sat looking outside my balcony, smiling from ear to ear as I admire my two dullest plants as they beginning to show their true images. My Frangipani beginning to flower and my Poinsettia has finally showing the red leafs as any Poinsettia would be! After totally ignoring them and being labelled as 'plant killer' by sis, there is every reason to smile. Maybe these are the type of plants that you ignore in order for them to grow on their own.

Remembering how I got the Poinsettia during a weekend getaway in Cameron Highland with my 2 sisters and her children where we just plucked them by the roadside and hopefully they will grow when planted on low land and they have! So I'm not a 'plant killer' sis!, and truly understand that 'patience is a virtue'. Sigh.....

Not a plant killer, huh? Well, I don't think so, either, but you do leave your plants unwatered for an unusually long time. Lucky for you your plants are hardy ones. The ones that manage to survive t your long absences, I mean. Tee hee.

Interlude

I haven't update my blog for almost a year now, not because of haven't got the time, but there seemed to be lots of things to be done. I keep putting it off as I spent most of my time writing assignments. 7 months of reading and writing. More and more words were put down and after a while I get sick of thinking and writing. I just wanted to relax. But the trouble is, too much relaxing also makes you lazy to do anything else. I think I spent too much time during the break watching movies, from internet to movies on tele and cinemas. I will write something about this later. Just to update, I am halfway on my masters course which hopefully will finish this coming September. I remember complaining there was no time to relax during the last 2 term breaks as we have to finish group assignments that took up most of the holidays. Now that I have time to relax, I became bored very quickly. The most I can relax is a for a couple of days! Even then I didn't know what to do. I know I...

A Step at a Time

A step at a time is about my own self reflection of my life's journey, the things that I encountered in my everyday life, the journey that I have experienced as previously matured student in Scotland for a couple of years, life as an expat in Bahrain that I lived for 13 years, places that I traveled to, food, health, friends, people that I met and most importantly the lessons that I learned along the way.  We live in a world that are fast-paced and demanding, so taking one step at a time can help me re-think how I can approach challenges and navigate through life. It's a continuous journey. Each step, no matter how small and embracing the learning process means understanding and learning from mistakes will open new doors, new experience and shape our life. Challenges are inevitable and taking one step at a time involves confronting difficulties head on and developing resilient mindset, so that we become stronger.

April is almost over!

" Neutral is state where you are not jumping ahead too quickly or moving too slow. Neutral does not mean being inactive complacent or passive. Its about a calm poise that allows new information and new possibilities to emerge before taking further action. When in neutral you actually increase your sensitivity and intuitive intelligence . Neutral is fertile ground for new possibilities to grow from." Don Childre This is the state that I am in at the moment, neither passive nor complacent. It seems like I am, but simply weighing a few options in hand. I guiltily confess , since graduating last December I have been relaxing, maybe because I have been working non-stop then continuing my study right after. I said that I owe it to myself to relax for a while, to justify why I need time to relax. De-stress for a while. Options? Yes, I wasn't thinking of any other option early in the year. The plan was to graduate and find a job soon after. But the global crisis and recession in...
