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...

A book in the mind and heart.

The people you met in life. You have got so many reasons to welcome them into your life and at the same time be willingly to open the door for them to walk out once the time has come to an end.  I always wanted permanent people in life. I used to have this phobia towards people leaving me after I became so dependent on them. (So close friends, please, stick around) It took me years to learn and accept that people comes and goes. I will always need to have those people who I can turn to even though we don ’t cling so tightly as I believe we always have dreams and achievements to go after in life so that whenever life is hard or when I stumble and fall,whenever I need a helping hand or an ear to listen, I know who to look for and to turn to. Despite that, knowing different people at different stage of your life is different. After all, I always believe in temporary people that came in our life to teach us something, once their purposes are done, they need to move on and so does ...
