(WARNING!!! Shin On EMO Mode ALERT!!! )

Sudden urge of being home.. With everything that is happening around here OMG so much negativity!!!

Trying to maintain my optimism but its not easy. (Est, I want to meletup seriously!!)

I’ve stopped believing that there will be someone there to catch me when I fall… Yes, I am that upset!! The negativity that us surrounding me is drowning me.. Oh gosh I never like this feeling.. The last time I felt so lost, I had Kevin talking to me the whole night and that was many centuries ago… In need of one of those session… Being so far from everyone I can trust is frustrating… ARGHHHH!!

Just have to let it out.. with a heavy sigh and will remind myself again, over and over again… I need to keep my head high and move along.. Its gonna be okay.. Things will fall into place… Have faith!!!

Going to sleep this emo-ness off.. (Or should I be reading my mini booklet of HAPPINESS??…)

OK Bai

I’m so unhappy I had to find ways to happiness.. pathetic!! … Haha.. Actually the story of this ‘way to happiness’ starts from August when I was to complete a piece of essay on self development.. Diligently I did my research on literatures from books, journals and also the internet to give more in depth understanding of what I was writing. I had to justify why, why, why, why, and more why my decisions are made, so I needed philosophies, quotes, and also teachings that supports or make things made sense.  (all these is not enough to confuse you yet, then continue reading)

So browsing and browsing the world wide web that I can find anything, I came across an organization’s website about educating the young and motivating them to create a better future. —> *click* AND there are this option (if you are somewhere in the teaching line) that you can sign up for a *FREE* Tutor’s Kit. As I went reading more about this organization, I’ve learned that they are a funded organization, (that is the explanation to the *free* kits) strive to create a better living by spreading the words of happy living.  Basically its all common sense which are normally kept aside in our daily routine. So I signed up for the free kit, half expecting the free kit would arrive but not high hopes though. Little did I expect that I would get any reply from them too

Guess what was in my mail box yesterday??? TWO parcel, yes 2 boxes for my collection in the reception.. I was so happy thinking someone send me two boxes of goodies from home especially the festive season just went by (dream on baby!!) When I saw the stamp, it was from the States.. Lagi tak mungkin my kuih raya coming from US rite?? Only when I saw the company logo by the corner of the boxes, I realized it would be the teaching material that I’ve sign up for. Even though its not ‘kuih raya’ but the feeling when you have got a mail is still good..

In the two boxes received, one is with 23 pieces of posters with gentle reminders what we should be doing to make the best out of the days we are living with the main objective of creating positive environment. The other box  came with a tutor’s starter guide book with breakdown how to motivate youth to move towards the positive directions, DVD for visual aids, mini booklets that could be distributed out and more forms to fill up if ever I need more free mini booklets to be distributed out…

I went through briefly the items especially the content of the booklets and most of the content are really common sense lines that we are all aware off but never really would put further thoughts to it. Example:

1. Take care of yourself!

2. Be temperate

3. Set a good example

4. Seek to live with the truth.

5. Be worthy of trust.

etc etc….

Every line will be followed by lines of examples and further explanations which are easily understandable..

I came home and spread the love and happiness to my fellow mates ahaha.. and these are a bunch of happy people now as always lol..

I really felt that there should be more of these kind of organizations around to help the ‘youth’ these days. Going back into the study life, I’ve met countless ‘lost’ people with lotsa hatred to the world, to others and maybe to themselves too.. Where is the study environment that used to be so carefree and fun? Where is those happy faces when its holidays? Where did all the manners parents taught us when we were younger? Where is all the healthy competition shit that teachers used to drill into our heads (which makes sense to me now finally)?  Seriously, being around these people are depressing..

One of the lines that i Like the most in those mini booklets —> Why I Gave You This Book?? Your Survival is Important to ME!!

Very true, no one can stay alive ALONE and when you have to depend on your surroundings and people around you, it would be important to be in a happy , healthy and positive environment.. So people BE HAPPY or come see me for the guide book.. ‘Ways To Happiness!!’

Signing off with  !!

So when was the last I updated the page?? Hmm… At least a month ago when my head were buried under the piles of books and declared myself a Nerd..  So, I’ve managed to finish all my exams, travelled a bit, got sick along the way, managed the on going never ending strings of assignments, relax , be myself and have fun the past few weeks. Everyone was commenting on my FB that I don’t look like I’m here to study, more to having the time of my life traveling.. Well the fun part is always captured in the photos and the not so fun part is kept aside.. (e.g. burning midnight oil for assignment submission, working in a group with people that does work half way, reading articles over articles of stock evaluations etc etc)

Since I have so many things that happened over the past few weeks, i would just summarize everything.. (photo updates please go check FB.. felt its double work to be posting lotsa photos that people have seen already)

Hmm.. Lets start with exams’ week. Completed three papers in the spread of three working days excluding the weekends… Hopefully results would be ok. haha.. Didn’t want to waste the already short term break, I flew to Norway the night after my last paper. Was my first time to Norway and also the first time I did not do any research about the city that I was visiting. Thought Mr. Tall would be there to be the tour guide (which he did) and all the studying for exam paper just left no extra space in the mind for holiday notes.. haha

Off I went to this foreign land where I knew 1 person out of the whole population.. Reaching bout 10-ish 11pm didn’t worry me because I was told the Express to the city only takes 20 minutes and last train leaves past midnight. Happily I went on the train ride looking forward to see Mr. Tall in the train station as arranged earlier but but but the nature of the industry we are in just likes surprises. Work took longer than expected and I was waiting in the station like some clueless lost kid with no sense of directions and bearing… It was cold and dark outside, the station has so many exits. I was instructed to wait at where i got down from the train and he will FIND me… sounds like its a big place that I might get lost. So I sat and read the novel i brought along till he sneak out from work to get me (Which was like three minutes walking distance) I could have managed to get there myself if i were slightly more into getting to know the basic directions haha… For once I was a lil scared waiting alone… Learned my lesson.. hehe…

The following days spend in the humble city of Oslo was superb. The city gives a warm impression and I would say its a nice city to live in. Its a city but practiced quality lifestyle (through my observation that is) Did my sight seeing, and met new friends that further extend their Norwegian hospitality to the small Asian girl. Overall, it was a good trip on my mid sem break. Two albums of filtered photos already in uploaded in FB , so go check there and i will only put up a few that I like here—>

A Church in near Greenland metro station that I walked past everyday to get my 7-Eleven Cappuccino.  Don’t know why but this is my favorite among all..

Visit to the Sculpture Park

The evening view from the fortress overlooking the main sea passage to Oslo.

The port where that have nice yacht, boats of all kinds…

And of course one with the friendly host..

The short one week was a good getaway from my daily stress from school.. Enjoyed it very much..–> Thanks to my awesome host, Mr. Tall.

So that was the first trip out of Switzerland. I came back for a week of classes and off again to the Queen’s Land, where I have expected to be drinking English tea everyday but my oh my how wrong I was.. I was fed with Chinese , Korean , Japanese, Malaysian cuisines throughout my stay.. And I felt like I was back in Petaling Street when I was in China Town.

The main purpose of the visit was to meet up my ex classmates who were there for many years now (damn that sounds old).. Managed to get  a good flight price but the timing was rather short though.. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself so much and am very happy seeing the faces that I’ve not seen in years after college days… Not so much of sight seeing and my biggest regret was not able to manage the time and visit Madame Tussauds..  Again, photos were uploaded in FB—> *click* so here are the few highlighted ones—>

The 6’s in China Town

The daughter that came to meet up..

Fellow KDU-ians (missing Justin)

While waiting for the metro and just being us.. 38!!!

The little sight seeing that I did (never mentioned shopping hahaha)

And  my two host, Kiki & Aik that not only provided shelter for me, but also fed me well throughout my stay..(Thats how i get those extra KILOS)

Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend!!! Truly enjoyed it and look forward to the next meet up.
