WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY..

- Even if you're on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there - anonymous quote

Well, a lot has been going on of late...

tirednya aku..



But, the major part would be a transition from my current job to doing something which I have zero-knowledge of... Yea, I’m nervous yet excitedness keeps me alive! The most important thing is I’m willing to learn and with the kind of confidence level which I have in me for now, I’m quite sure that I can do the right things, right. Literally.

I would definitely miss this place once in a while but guess in life, you just got to make choices and move on, for good or bad. It’s part of the learning process which I’m willing to endure for greatness ahead. I always believe that if you don’t move out from your shell a.k.a comfort zone, you’ll never find the treasure that God has restored for you. Having said that, I’ve never regretted making that decision, regardless of what other people say, not now. Not later.

In life, we got to make choices...

In fact, I can’t wait to see how 2011 will come to me! I’m just so spice-up with this energy and high metabolism to start accepting the challenges right away! And I’m willing to make sacrifices to go to that length, even that means I got to let go some of the important things around me...uhh... like my daily nap hour *cursing blissfully* ^o^

For this year, I’m going to devote 101% of my attention to work (which I hope I would fall in love with as I learn how it goes). Like I said in earlier post, I have this feeling that I’ve not been working enough (though as a matter of fact, I do work like a mad cow at times).

I have a feeling... 2011 is not just any ordinary year, it WILL absolutely, definitely, surely be an amazing year for me, for JOY!

Love Life, therefore strive hard!

HAN CHIANG COLLEGE INTERMEDIATE CHINESE PROGRAMME

Remember the Elementary Chinese Programme that I blogged here, here, here and here?
Following the overwhelming response and tremendous success of the previous programme, Han Chiang College is now offering INTERMEDIATE CHINESE PROGRAMME for the non-Chinese speakers and the likes. In the programme, students will be exposed to the beautiful language in the area of speaking, writing, listening & grammar. Rest assured that upon completion of the course, students will be able to read simple text in Chinese and interpret the meaning. Apart from that, students will be taught a wide range of vocabularies that will be very useful whether at work or when travelling to Chinese-populated countries. Emphasis will be given on the pronunciation of the word and the meaning of it.


WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN CHINESE WITH US?



1. Guidance from experienced lecturer.


2. Comprehensive learning materials will be provided. (notes, exercises, handouts, websites)

(This is equivalent to RM 125 per month, RM 31.25 per class, RM 10.42 per hour! Tell me, where on Earth can you master a language with that price?

Still sceptical? Watch this!

A PIECE OF ME

Pushing myself beyond limits is what I enjoy doing, to outdo what my capacity is able to achieve breeds a sense of satisfaction that none could understand. Guilt strikes in when I feel that I'm not working hard enough, irregardless of the hours and efforts that I've contribute. Priorities in life are boundless & ranks differently depending on circumstances, ask yourself what you truly wants and have faith in your own judgment. The rest will fall into places. Be happy about it!. 

If we have the power to make a difference or start up something good the least, why are we not doing it? Why should we hesitate? How long should we sit and wait? And what are we waiting for? Miracles? Magic? The power and magic of creating miracles lies  in our hands! By believing in your own capabilities, you're 20% towards achieving that miracle, the 80% comprises of sheer hard work, incorporate with sweats, toils, humiliation, failures and all till the day comes.


Experiences are there to make you grow, not holding you back.


I'm being blessed with all the good things throughout my life and for that, I'm deeply thankful!


Regrets are excuses for people who give up fighting.



In ushering the rabbit year of 2011, I'll place great importance on:- (that is if other variables such as health "behave" in a good manner)


#1. FURTHER EDUCATION 
I got to seriously sit down & have a meeting with myself on this. And work out a plan, a financial plan that i able to support this. Procrastination only delay my dreams further and all the other plans that I've lay out for myself. 

#2. CAREER
At 25, I'm no longer a giddy young chap looking for a job to sustain the beautiful night life. (assume that I had one in the first place, that is) I've been aiming for a fulfilling career; one that makes me want to get up and go to work everyday, one that keeps me full in the stomach and offer great job satisfaction. The only way to achieve that is to do what I do best and give 101 % at it! Don't hesitate! Don't give up! don't say no!

Sometimes, i lose tracks of what I should be fighting for.

At times, I find solace in the complacency of life.


Most of the time, I doubt my own will-power. Perseverance fails me 75% of the time.

#3. WEALTH-BUILDING
By "wealth", I'm referring to 50% monetary sense & 50% spiritual contentment. People often say, it's easy to gain wealth, the toughest part is to maintain it. It's even harder to GROW wealth. Yet, I'll make this an equally important goal with the rest & take more calculated risk. With a financially sound background & a huge figure in a place people generally call bank, I'm one step closer to realizing my dreams. As for the meantime, I got to stick to my "Poor Man's Methodology" and achieve little goals instead.


On the spiritual part, I find talking to own self provides huge emotional boost! And talking to "God" a fulfilling experience! I do not pray devotedly to a particular "God" but each time when I'm despair and in need of help, I will just silently pray "God, please help me on this!" Whichever God who must have got my message will miraculously open my eyes into options that I never before see.


#4. INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
I hate to admit this but as much as I hate admitting it, I can never run or hide from it. I have a teeny-tiny problem in communicating with people. It might be ego. It might be selfishness. But no matter what, please don't judge me before you know me because that is just simply unacceptable, unfair and bias!

I'm here to make friends if I'm lucky, not rub shoes.

#5. LOVING OWN SELF 
I will LOVE ME, MYSELF & I more from now on. I've had enough of putting other people / everyone else before me all the time.
