Learn to listen

I like how people talk about life to me. I like to appreciate every bits of words and adjectives they used to describe their life when talking to me. Things like how they describe their love towards their parents and family, how they overcome their problem, how they rise and fall in life really attract me. It was like reading a book but instead I just need to listen. Although sometimes I like to talk in between their speech but most of the time, believe me, I listen.

When you really listen to what people tell you, you will get to learn a lesson from it. Part of me love to evaluate, (sometimes judge, I know it's bad but can't help. I am human.) process it and then learn the lesson. For someone that trusted me and I trusted them, I will TRY to advice though sometimes it doesn't really help. However, I know by lending my ears to listen to them, I help if not a lot just a little might do. 

People make mistakes. I myself make a lot of mistakes in life. I myself am not that perfect. And my dad always always always remind me to not judge people as they might have been through a lot in life that we might not know. When I am in doubt, I always consult my parents because I know they will give the best solution. But I know sometimes we just don't want them to worry so much so that's when friends come in handy. So when people wanted to tell you something, sit and listen well.

I may not be that feminine but I think I am so stuck in an old-fashioned world that my parents teach me. I like postcard and letters a lot. It's just because I always saw my mom previously getting a postcard from her overseas friends. And I love the way they are communicating. Though you have to wait but at least it teaches you patience. But logically nowadays we need to be fast so whatsapp do help a lot. I appreciate the soft music, old movie that my parents usually watch, old style kinda outings and I learnt that from my parents. I like to read books and I like to analyse quote. I like to walk in a small and quiet town. I like to enjoy the view of a village in which I myself don't have one. I don't really enjoy what adult my age would enjoy. Maybe that's why people thought I am a dull kind of person and they decided to leave. That is why I appreciate and value so much those who came in my life and stay because I, myself, realised how boring I can be as a person. Sometimes, people 'destress' themselves by going out and spending their time in a shopping complex, watching movie but I prefer to talk and listen to people to 'destress myself '. (sometimes, I go watch movies also. Like seriously who doesn't watch movies and go shopping kan =) )

So learn to listen because nowadays people are in a hurry to achieve gold in life that they tend to forget. Even parents forgot to listen to their child and a child forgot to listen to their old parents. We do not want to regret anything later in life. *It's a reminder to me as well*

The littlest things in life.

Trust are not meant to be taken for granted.   It is from an event of life that a person limit their trust to his/her circle of human of choice. As for me, I may be nice to everyone but my trust is not easy to be gained. Please appreciate people when they trusted you. The most important trust that you can never take for granted is from your parents.  For me, I appreciate when my parents trusted me more than anyone else. Whatever stories that they heard from other people, they choose to listen to me first and I can never exchange that with anything. Feel blessed and grateful for not all of us are given that specialty. Respect your parents as they are the person that should earn that without attempt. When they give you the freedom, do not misused it. It was not easy for them. I guess you will one day understand when you are in their shoes. As a daughter, I know I am not that good but whenever I am deciding things or doing something, the  people that will appear firs...

It's not just us!

“Hello, amoi, you mau bikin baju ke?” I was welcome with that question. A few days ago, when I was given a few weeks off from classes, I decided to come back home to spent that little amount of time that I have with my family. On one of the days, I have some alone time to spent as my parents and brother were busy with their own schedule. I have got nothing in plan to do. Thus, I decided to go to China Town located in Kuching City. It was just 15 minutes away from my house. It was called China town as most of the shops there were occupied by the chinese sellers. (we do have our own India street anyway hehe) I have a reason of why I choose to go there. I have heard for quite sometimes that there is a chinese boutique that is famous for the hand-made kebaya. It has been operating for the past 40 years. It was owned by a chinese lady named Mui Mui. I guess she’s currently in her mid 70’s. She has made a kebaya that cost thousands ringgit malaysia. So I just went there to have ...
