One New Year's resolution down...

Sometime in January, I managed to fulfill one of my new year's resolution which is to fold shirts the Japanese way. Throughout trying to master the art of folding shirts the Japanese way, I couldn't help "Haiyoooook"-ing all the way...

A Hairy Encounter...

While lazing in bed waiting for Boyfie's routine nightly phone call, I saw this picture I drew for my blog readers two weeks ago on the night stand...

Hahahaah...sorry for the delay in uploading my art. Hope you have a roaring time from laughing out loud!

Since I did not manage to capture the moment with my camera, I decided to draw this pic to demonstrate the result of not shaving my legs for my physio session and was unlucky enough to get a guy physio-therapist that particular day. My usual physio-therapist is a lady so I just didn't bother to shave since I just shaved my legs two days before. Ayoyooooo...

Lesson learnt...at least shave up to my calves. You'll never know when you'd get a guy physio-therapist.

A Japanese Proverb

" We learn little from victory, much from defeat"

Stumbled upon it while watching the war documentaries last night. 

When things are down, just remind yourself of this Japanese proverb. It can apply across all kinds of situations. It can lift up the spirits of those who are suffering from a downfall be it in family, marriage or career. There is no shame in failing in anything. Yes, cry, hit and throw things if you must, RANT! BE ANGRY!

BUT...

Be patient in facing the difficulties life has dealt you,
Remind yourself of the good things you still have before you forget you actually have them,
Stand up and hold your head up high as to not give people the advantage of relishing your downfall,
MOVE ON...take the bad and the good from the situation, forgive but DON't forget...
Finally, keep on smiling. Those expecting your failure HATES it when you're still smiling despite the SH** you've been through...

Some self-reflection

Since last year and up till today, I have been contemplating with some major ideas on change(s) in my life. Oh my god, I can tell you I am scared shitless in making that leap but I guess it's normal. I don't know how things will turn out but I am definitely hoping for the best this year. I have been mulling over the issue (s) many times, asking myself from simple basic questions to those bordering to the philosophical. Most I don't even know the answer to. So much time wasted over the issue (s).

And lately, I have been getting a lot of signs from HIM...or it may just be all in my head and think everything that happens is a sign...Haha..

This morning, it got me recalling to a certain task we had to do during one of the courses I had attended. We were given a task to build the tallest tower using spaghetti, tape and one marshmallow. Many of the teams managed to do it but not at the optimum level we would have wanted within the limited time. At the end of the task, we were showed a video regarding an assessment done on the same task given to a set of kindergarten children and a set of professional adults with no background in engineering or architecture. Let's just say, it turned out that the children executed the task way better than the set of professional adults. Why? Well, it is because the adults literally THINK TOO MUCH and the children were just there doing it, keeping it simple and focusing on the task. I tried to find the video but couldn't get it. If you watch TED, you'd find one on the same task but proving a different point. Will update you guys once I manage to get a hold of it.

So, to summarize, I think the best way to get over it is to ask yourself what the child in you would have decided on...and to remember to keep it simple...

For now, I am gonna go downstairs and make the BEST MAGGI EVER!!! Enjoy your last day of the long CNY weekend peeps... :)
