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*

Life is trying to teach you something

Hello there! Sorry for the long wait. So, here you go.  Here come an urgent story after a reflection made few weeks ago. I just felt the urge and the need for me to write and share this. As you know, I have been working in a pharmacy for quite sometimes now. It has been around 4 months I guess. Though definitely, I am extremely tired and I got no time to pamper myself, it gave me priceless experience. It’s a place that taught me to appreciate people, trust (this one I’ve got some issue with it too. Trust is basically not easy. It’s build over time so work hard to gain it) and respect people no matter who they are and their social status or educational background.  Initially, it feels like there’s nothing I can gain from working there. Not that I believe in all those supplements can help with diseases. These days, when I felt like I was doing a thing without having a benefit, I would start to do my own reflection. It was like a homework to me. Thank you to that one...

What's new?

How ’s me? Life has been great so far Alhamdulillah. Indeed, when you let go of the painful things that you ’ve been holding on for so long, you’ll be at peace and you’ll be happy. Being dependent on a person is not good, you’ll feel lost once they are away. “What’s meant for you will reach you even if it’s beneath two mountains. What isn’t won’t reach you even if it’s between your two lips.” And so these words heal. Always. Anyway, Let’s start. I have been occupying my holidays doing a few things at once right now. It all started as a volunteer with the Sarawak Children Cancer Society (SCCS) at the hospital. There, I knew a few doctors and pharmacists. These doctors enjoyed dragging me around in their rounds and clinics but I don’t really haha. So, these doctors has got a lot of on hold project for the community that they wanted to arrange but they ain’t got no time for that. Thus, they asked me to arrange it for them. This year, it was about the health fair project 2...

It's for us!

Before I start here, I would like to say I am sorry, that I am not being racist here. No intention like that at all. So here I am sharing with you guys my two cents regarding my childhood and maybe you have had similar childhood experience too. I admit that to be honest, I was raised by parents who would expect the best out of me behind their, “ I don’t mind” words. How do I know? I analyzed, observed and listened. With that, I understand what they wanted actually. Most of my family ( I mean huge family including cousins, aunties and uncle) were placed in a chinese school even from preschool years. Our parents believed that the chinese school has the best education system that of all can offer. Most of my cousins and relatives were able to complete their chinese education until high school except for me. I am an exclusion, I couldn’t fit and survive even during my preschool years. When I was in my psychiatry posting, I remembered that there was a young boy presented with d...
