11.11.2015


Have you ever heard of "The Secret", a book Rhonda Byrne? I have read the book before but too bad I am not one of the believer. However, what happened yesterday really turned me off and make me think of it, The Law of Attraction.

It begins with my negative mood these days. As you know from my previous posts, recently are just not the days for me as seems like all the things are not going the way I planned. It was a public holiday yesterday (10.11.2015, Deepavali or Diwali) and I am bored. Deciding not to stay in the room for whole day, I get myself up, dressed up and decided to go for lunch outside and may be catch a movie.

And so, everything's ready and I drive out. The sky getting dark and it seems to be raining soon. "Luckily I was driving." I though to myself and when I get to the mall, guess what happened. The stupid boom gate at the mall entrance did not work! The car in front of me was stuck for like 10 minutes before the guard came and ask us to reverse our cars and use another entrance. What a great turn off.

And so again, I reversed my car and it started to rain. Due to the frustration, I decided to head to McDonald's drive thru to settle my lunch and crouch potato for the rest of the day and this is how my boring holiday ended. What a bad luck!

I really found myself in depression. Lots of things are going opposite of the way I wish it to be. Yes, sometime its my own principle that holding me back from trying to do something which against it, but I am too familiar with this feeling. Its not good at all.

May be I shall came out from living in the past. Accept whatever that has became a truth and moved on.

And here it end of my grumpy posts. At least. I hope.

Optimistic vs Reality


Yeap, I knew I hope this would be a positive post from my previous posting, but well.. sorry! it seems to me that this will be another grumpy, negative post, hopefully it will be ended after tonight.

I wished for a change. I really really did and I have put in much efforts in it. Notwithstanding that efforts have been put in, but the result is simply not just as what I expected.

I tried to be optimistic, but each and every time the reality just turn me into pessimistic. That feeling sucks right?

At least I tried and there is nothing to lose? I though to myself. Yet, the result still matters to me. I noticed that I tend to isolate myself during this period in order to spread the negative feeling around.

It is harder than I though and somehow I think I failed that. Even people around me senses that something is not right in me. May be I was never a good pretender as I though. I just wrote whatever I felt on my face although I am trying hard to hide the disappointment.


lead me please!

面具

这一组图我收藏了一段时间.. 现在再一次拿出来分享.. 蛮有意思的..

有时候想想.. 
面具真的那么容易有那么摘下吗? 
尤其是当我们已经戴着了那么久的面具来见人

有时候想想..
我们早已忘记为什么自己当初要戴着面具见人
是为了迎合别人对自己的期望?
还是为了掩饰自己的不安?
"没有啊" "很好啊" 就成了我们不需要经过大脑都能说的谎言

对! 写到这里不难发现我又来emo了吧!
哈哈
好啦.. 既然这个是自己的地方
就大方地承认吧
最近确实有太多不顺心的事了
太多太多
无论是事业上还是个人上
从10月开始到现在好像都没有什么顺心的事发生

感叹啊..
这已经不是我第一次觉得自己在年尾的时候特别不顺心
不知是不是我的好运只够用到年中
年尾开始烦恼就开始来了

好吧
这时候就用五月天的一首歌的歌词来加持一下!

我和我最后的倔强
握紧双手绝对不放
下一站是不是天堂
就算失望不能绝望

我和我骄傲的倔强
我在风中大声地唱
这一次为自己疯狂

就这一次

我和我的倔强

好啦..
这次就抱怨到这儿吧
希望下一次再写部落时是带着正能量的

加油!

话说

话说
时隔大约四个月我终于又来这里打扫打扫啦
积了四个月的尘加上最近的烟霾
是时候来这里打扫打扫了
和平时写的部落一样
多数都是在半夜睡不着觉的时候写的
现在的时间是凌晨四点十五分
难得的宁静
感觉上好像很久没在吉隆坡能体验这么宁静的夜晚
因为这里即使是半夜一两点
还是能听到大街上摩托车奔驰和车辆的引擎嘈杂声
划破宁静的夜晚
每次都是稍微有感触时在这里写下自己当时的心情
以便在未来能够回温
所以这次当然也不例外

话说
刚才用了大约两个小时的时间来读一位朋友的部落
从六年前到最近的部落中
不难看出她的改变
除了文笔上的跃进
当然还有心态上的改变
从以前的部落总是带着少少忧伤的感觉
到现在那开朗的笔述描绘
虽然忙碌的生活还是依然在
但简单的心态却让自己放松了不少
我还蛮羡慕她能够保持这心态
继续加油阿!

话说
还记得为什么自己当初坚决要开一个部落
把自己的点点滴滴都写下来?
我记得
我希望能够在不同的时间把自己当下的心情写下来
往后看回去时
无论是觉得自己当初怎么那么愚蠢, 幼稚
又或者是让自己后悔为什么做了那么一个决定
还是回忆当初的美好时光
这一切都好像是用文字把回忆绑起来

话说
回忆是个很玄的东西
没有一些事物去触发它的话
它是不会自己无端端跑出来的
所以部落
就成为了让我回温自己所做过的事
也同时间提醒我自己
不要再次重蹈错误
也让我觉得我并没有白活
这就是我当初坚持要写部落的原因

话说
你呢?
是什么让你坚持?
当初自己做的决定

EH 52

Building a house for orang asli family in just three days? How could this be possible? This is the first thing came through my mind when I heard about the EPIC Home Project through Berjaya Youth in year 2014. I missed the first B.Youth – EPIC Homes build in Gombak due to my oversea assignment, so when I heard about the 2nd B. Youth – EPIC Homes build in Gopeng, I signed myself up without second though and so, I became part of the awesome team!

Our mission impossible (i’m possible) took place in Kampung Ulu Geruntum from 29th May 2015 to 31st May 2015. We gathered at Berjaya Times Square Hotel at 5:30 a.m. and depart for our awesome mission. We reached Gopeng town at approximately 8:30 a.m. where we transferred to two lorries (as the bus is unable to enter the build site) and guess what, the ride is awesome! With the cooling breeze and tree branches / leaves to dodge, this is the first time of my life travelling on the back of the lorry.
After leaving our belongings and baggage in the Gopeng Rainforest Resort (where we will be staying for 2 nights), we jumped to the lorry-back again and travelled deeper into the orang asli settlement. This is the first time I saw the house of Roni and Nito, and what surprised me was there are smokes came out from the roof of the house. Apparently the family was cooking inside the house and due to improper air flow design, the smokes came out from the roof, as if the house is on fire.

We were briefed by our Master Builder, Jon Ming and assigned into respective groups (Structure 1, Structure 2, Wall, Floor and Roof). I was assigned as part of the wall team and met my awesome teammate, Sabrina, Choong Fu, Chia Yi, Nicholas, Qi Jie, Jeremine, Arunn and our specialist, Raymond who is allergic to slow-ner. As part of the wall team, our main task is build outer walls with Shera boards, windows which we made during Builder Basics Workshop, the Shera boards frame and 1 by 6 wood.

Day 1- Where the build site is still empty

First we started with building the Shera boards frames. It is not that easy as I thought at first. We need to measure and cut the 2 by 2 woods, screw it together to make the outer frames and screw the Shera boards in between. Any errors in measurement would cause the wood / Shera board unusable. Besides, you would have to juice your brain for solution as some the woods were bent by nature. Of course we made some mistake at first but after a while we are all good at it.

End of Day 1 - Where the structure has been installed

We have been ahead of the schedule from start, until it’s started to rain in day two’s afternoon around 4:30 p.m., which has hinder us from continue our jobs as the power tools are unable to be used under the rain. Plus, all of us were soaked and have to travel under the rain to the resort. The rain might be heavy, but it couldn’t extinguish the fire in our heart! Worried for failing behind the schedule, I am glad and proud that all of us agreed to start working as earlier as 7 a.m. on the third day to catch up with the time we loss due to rain without hesitation.

Start of day 3 - No photos on day 2 as the build is abruptly ended by rain

Third day was the most challenging day as the rain is upon us again in the afternoon around 2 p.m., but it could never extinguish our ambition. In fact, I think the rain has boosted us for more keen to finish it on time. With everybody is fired-up, finally the last piece of roof sheet was fixed by the roof team at around 7:00 p.m. and that symbolic we managed to finish the house in time! What an accomplishment to me, for finishing a house in just 3 days! After the photos, wefie and selfie session, we departed back to the resort for dinner, debrief and travelled back to Berjaya Times Square Hotel and that is the time we all fare good-bye.

End of Day 3 - where everybody is so exciting!


Here are some of the photos taken from my friends facebook (See credits before photos)

We are transferred into the back of lorries.. just like "卖猪仔" (human trafficking)

Short briefing by Master Builder, Jon Ming

Yes, We did it Again!

The crazy structure 1 team

The Chicken in Kitchen structure 2 team

The "allergic to slow-ner" wall team (and yes the team where I belong)

The floor team where we are "stepping" on

The roof team! where we have our "cover" from

You! Yes you! We hope you to join us in coming build!

Team Cheer!

Lorry's wefie!

Human trafficking in process..

I felt really honoured to be part of the team and working together with these extraordinary people. From strangers to teammate that work together, yelling at each other for power tools and finally felt hard for bidding farewell, this meaningful build has not only built a house for Nito’s family, it also bonding us together and the orang asli family too. This build (EH 52) is the first build in my life, but definitely it wouldn’t be the last. And for people out there, please do not hesitate to involve yourself in this extraordinary activities! Who are we? We are “Extraordinary People Impacting Community” (EPIC) and we opted to “Be the Difference” (B. Youth!)
