BEAUTY: OUTSIDE IN OR INSIDE OUT?










VS







Ok...so this might be a very interesting topic TO BE DISCUSSED. Especially for girls....:P

How can you judge someone's beauty? To me beauty is very subjective. Why? Let's give a simple explanation. Some might say that Megan Fox is totally sexy and hot....she's screaming with HOTNESS!!! But some might say, she's nothing when compared to Taylor Swift!! She's a true beauty while others might say, "Nah they both are fine. Nothing so special".

SO, WHAT MAKES THEM BEAUTIFUL 

Is it because of their thick make-up? or is it because of their sexy clothing? or is it just some sort of fate that you like them? hahaha...or is it because of their personalities that shines through? emm..

A friend told me that now, people only look at the outside appearance first before they actually do look inside somebody's true nature. Well, I have to say I agree to that statement but not fully. Well, you see, yes it is true that when we meet somebody the first thing that we will be looking for is their appearance. Whether they are handsome, smart, skinny, fat and so on. Then, we will have the tendency to judge and evaluate them immediately. A simple and common example: Fat person with baggy clothes walks in a room. Straight away we will think that the person is lazy, eats a lot, unproductive, passive and everything that is bad. Whereas when a handsome looking guy walks in, everyone will be charmed by whatever he says even though it meant nothing.

           Clear explanation, the world is cruel? Only well-looking person will get a better treatment than others? Well, think again people. Just for how long that handsome guy will get the so-called "special" treatment if he does not perform well in his work? I don't think it will get that long to take for people to hate him and bad-mouthed about him. True? But if the fat person do a tremendously awesome brilliant work, wouldn't people slowly appreciate him better than the previous one? So, all and all, the world is not cruel but the people are for labeling people too soon. But hey, it's our nature right? All and all the handsome guy only have a slight advantage earlier on but then who wins the overall game? :P

           Hence, to all LADIES!!!!!

         In some point of our lives, we may and will feel that we have and need to look hot and sexy all the time so that people will notice our existence. Thus, we tend to dress exaggeratedly and put on heavy make-up just to show that you too can be beautiful like Megan Fox and Taylor Swift. STOP IT.  What's the point of doing that? Do you want people to love you because of your looks? If so, then you are wasting the time of your life doing that. Including, wasting MONEY!! Make people fall in love with you with who you truly are. To me, everyone is special. Everyone has their own special features, you just have to search for it and then SHINES THROUGH...

         And do not feel disheartened or down if your friends have their own special ones and yet you still haven't. Yours is till searching for you. REMEMBER:

A WOMAN IS LIKE AN APPLE. THE HIGHER THE APPLE, THE HARDER THE MAN TO GRAB THE APPLE. ONCE HE ALREADY GOT THE APPLE, HE WILL TRULY APPRECIATE AND NEVER LET GO OF THE APPLE, REMEMBERING ALL THE TROUBLES AND HARDSHIPS THAT HE JUST WENT THROUGH TO GET IT. ONLY THE BEST CAN PICK THE APPLES AT THE TOP.


~stay strong and keep on doing your thang....lol~

0 JENIS PEKERJAAN. ANDA YANG MANA?


1. Taichi
Asyik passing kerja kepada orang lain. Konsepnya menepis segala kerja yang datang kepada orang lain. Asal ada unsur-unsur sales, terus forwardkan email ke ketua Sales and Marketing, ada cerita pasal pekerja je… terus passing memo tu kepada HR department…etc.

 
2. Boxing
Single tasking (ada ke phrase ni?). Mana pernah peninju berlawan pakai kaki, siku, lutut, kepala. Mereka cuma reti genggam tangan dan tumbuk lawan. Pekerja-pekerja sebegini selalunya akan jadi kucing hilang anak bila dapat bebanan kerja lebih sikit. Kalau minta tolong print document sambil jawap telefon pun dia akan melatah.

 
3. Silat Pulut

Before start any works, dia punya bunga-bunga punyalah lama. Macam-macam gaya , macam-macam persediaan. Nampak cantik tapi buahnya takde. Kalau nak showcase boleh lah.
 
4. Samurai dan Cowboy

Apa persamaan samurai dan cowboy? Kedua-duanya pandai main senjata… actually both terlalu bergantung kepada senjata. Golongan pekerja sebeginilah yang akan mati kutu kalau equipment rosak atau internet line down. Mereka terlalu mengharapkan machine to do their works.

 
5. Kungfu Bruce Lee

Hampir sama seperti silat pulut, cuma kalau kita familiar dengan filem-filem Bruce Lee, before and after dia menyerang lawan mulut dia tak reti duduk diam. Wataaa…! Wachaaaa….! Dan macam-macam bunyi lagi. Ramai juga pekerja yang macam ni, sebelum start satu-satu projek dia punya sembang melangit… dah siap project pun dia still let everybody knows dia punya contribution.

 
6. Ninja
Betul-betul berlawanan dengan Kungfu Bruce Lee, pekerja-pekerja bersifat ninja ni low profile. Kadang-kadang tu terlalu low profile sehingga kita nak cari dia pun susah. 9 pagi still breakfast, datang kejap lepas tu… then …Zasss.. ilang pergi lunch. Datang semula office, pastu dah menyelinap pergi minum petang… arrange meeting kat luar, terus balik rumah. Senang cerita, kaki ngular.

 
7. Rambo
Berlagak hero. Semua benda dia nak buat. Kononnya dunia ni berputar disekeliling dia sahaja. Kalau berjaya takpe juga, kadang-kadang tu berlagak hero… tapi bila last minutes, kelam kabut minta pertolongan kawan-kawan.

 
8. Kungfu Jackie Chan

Setiap filem Jackie Chan akan ada satu persamaan. Tak kira macam-mana jalan cerita, di mana kejadian tu, siapa pelakonnya… scene gaduh mesti tak serious. Mesti banyak adegan-adegan lucu yang diselitkan. Ramai juga pekerja yang bersifat sebegini. Kononnya taknak tension, so semua pekerjaan tak ambil serious.
 
9. Street Fighter

Ini pekerja yang tidak tahu ikut procedure. Maybe kerja akan beres, semua setel, tapi bila suruh prepare handover document contohnya, dia akan pening kepala. Suruh submit borang claim, hantar progress report, follow SOP, ikut method statement…etc, semuanya dia tak suka buat. Dia nak buat kerja mengikut cara dia sahaja.

 
10. WWE Wrestling

Bukan wrestling yang dipertandingkan di
Sukan Olimpik tapi referring to wrestling yang diletakkan di bawah Entertaiment TV Guide, bukan kategori Sport. Pekerja yang ada sifat WWE Wrestling ni kita tengok mereka memang rajin kerja. Datang awal, balik tengah malam, kerja bertimbun atas meja, nampak macam busy gila. Tapi… as we all know, semuanya lakonan semata-mata.

PUBLIC SPEAKING TIPS

Before I start, just want to make things clear....I'M NOT A VERY GOOD SPEAKER!!! I am just a normal average person with the intentions of helping out a friend of mine who is going to give a public speech. Supposedly, she had to do it yesterday but something happened and it was cancelled. However, YOU are still going to do it!! *yes I'm talking to you AFA..;P*

            So of course the very basic thing that you need to do is to find a topic for your speech. But how do you find one that is interesting and suits you? Well, it's not that hard as you think. Find a topic that is near and dear to you. For example if you are a student maybe you can speak about how to manage your time wisely, how to communicate well with others or if you feel like to be more daring, you can try out to speak something about love life, marriage, sexual abuse...and others. But just stick with something that is simple and easy to be understood.

             Once you have decided on a topic, you can now move on to find points for your speech relating to the topic that you have just chosen. Obviously, the easiest and the fastest way to gain some factual data is through the internet and books. After you have gain enough points and facts, now it's time to do the speech draft. I know that most of us like to copy directly, words by words from the internet, right? Well, I do it too!!! Sometimes....but then after a while, I found it hard to memorize the wordings because they are TOO BOMBASTIC AND TO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!!! Waaa~~~ The best way to actually remember the points are by learning them from your heart. ^^

           Huh, learning them from the heart?? What is that? Emm...to put it simply, try to write the speech using your own words. Just rephrase the words that you got from the internet or books or other sources and make it your own. Put in some of your personalities in the speech or maybe put in some jokes so that people will not get tired on hearing you talking. This is a very good tip for someone that has a monotone voice. Besides, if you do this, not only you will not be having problems to remember your text, you will also find some joy and happiness remembering them. Isn't that cool? And just use simple English. It's enough....by the way, always remember that you are doing this is because you want to get your message through the audience and at the same time, to have fun!!

Once you have done, now you are ready to speak in front of a hundred thousands of people!! YEAY

           Now, it would be a total lie if I say, you will not have jitters and butterflies in your stomach right before you are about to do your speech. For a first timer, you will be really nervous...up until your nervousness can be felt by others that are sitting next to you or around you. I've experienced that before...it was really weird because I'm not the only one who felt the nerve, others felt it too and the worst part of all, I'm not the one who is doing the speech!! hahahha weird....

          It is actually good to be nervous because if you are nervous, you will try to do your very best so that you won't make a fool out of yourself. But it is not good to be too nervous because you might faint or worst pee in your pants (ewww) and it is not good to not be nervous (means you are a robot). Just be cool, calm and collective. I know I know...it is way easy talking than doing it..but what I'm saying is quite true.

           When something unexpected happened, do not freak out. Worst case scenario would be if you blank out completely. So, this would be the part where your "own words written speech" comes in handy. :P TADAA...whatever going to happen, if you learn your speech from your heart and you use your own words to fit your style, then even the earthquake wouldn't shake your nerve!! LOL

MY ADVICE TO THE REST OF YOU WHO IS GOING TO DO A PUBLIC SPEAKING, JUST ENJOY THE EVERY TINY BITS WHEN YOU ARE DOING IT. SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER MEMORABLE AND UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE. OTHERS MAY NOT REMEMBER IT BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY WILL...

ANOTHER CHAPTER IS CLOSED

LIFE IS LIKE A CHESS

Pertama kalinya setelah hidup selama 19 tahun dlm dunia ini, saya pergi masuk tournament chess, I-SKEP2012. ;P Sebenarnya hasrat nak main chess tu dah lama dah, cuma x kesampaian je. Main chess tu boleh lah, tp biasa2 je. Wakil mana2 x pernahlah cuma wakil diri sendiri je.

           Untuk mengelakkan diri drpd merapu n merepek dgn lebih mendalam lg, let's get back to our topic. So, why did I say LIFE IS LIKE A CHESS? If you look closely, there are many similarities between life and chess. Persoalan pertama, HOW TO BE A GOOD CHESS PLAYER?

1. Many experience in playing chess
2. A lot of practice...definitely. (PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT)
3. Time management
4. Good strategy
5. Have a clear idea on what you are going to do next
6. Predict what's ur opponent's next move

AND OF COURSE THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.....

             Samalah situasinya dengan kehidupan.  All of us are LIFE PLAYER!! ^_^ True isn't it? So, basically to be a good Life Player you have to have a lot of experiences. Sweet and bitter. Daripada pengalaman inilah yang menjadikan, mencorakkan siapa kita pada masa akan dtg. But we also have to remember, we are just human beings aka Homo sapiens, so we tend to do a lot of mistakes in this life whether we realize it or not. So, how do we avoid making these uncontrollable mistakes? Of course, we need A LOT OF PRACTICE!!! Practice makes perfect....Mcm mana nak practice utk mengatasi kesilapan kita? Emmm...mungkin dengan cara munasabah diri tu balik. Ambil satu masa free utk reflect diri kita balik. Apa yang dah aku lakukan selama ini? Siapa yang telah aku sakiti? Kenapa aku buat itu? Kenapa aku buat ini? Dari sinilah baru kita akan tahu mana silapnya kita....bila dah tahu, baru boleh ubah diri kan? Jadilah orang yang lebih baik daripada hari sebelumnya.

             Next, we also need a good strategy. Setiap langkah yang kita buat mesti ada baik dan buruknya. Jadi, kita kena sentiasa berhati-hati dlm pemilihan langkah kita. Bukan langkah berjalan tau!! If we make a good move, then we will have a good result and vice versa. Tapi ini tidak bermakna, if you make one right move you are going to win the whole game, or if you make one wrong moves you are going to lose for sure!! There is still time for you to change your strategy. 

"No one can go back and make a new beginning, but everyone can start now and make a new ending"

           



Apa yang menariknya bila kita bermain chess, selalunya kita akan melakukan careless mistake. Well, actually that goes to amateurs players like myself..hehehe because of NOT ENOUGH CONCENTRATION AND FOCUS!! Kadang2 tu kita x nmpk kesalahan yg dah kita lakukan tapi lawan kita yang akan perasan....kalau dlm kehidupan, selalunya rakan2 dan ahli keluargalah yg selalu nmpk kesalahan2 ini. Apabila kita ditegur, jgnlah cepat melenting...terima nasihat yang baik dengan hati terbuka. Mungkin pada awalnya sukar utk kita lakukan benda tu tp lama-kelamaan insyaAllah hati kita akan lembut menerima teguran org. Bukan semua teguran itu tak bagus. Dan jangan pula, bila kita sebagai rakan nmpk kesalahan rakan kita yang lain, kita buat dunno je. Pastu guna prinsip, "WHAT DO I CARE!!??" Betul x? Sesungguhnya, kita hidup dlm dunia ni secara bermasyarakat. Lagi2 dengan saudara seIslam. Jgn rasa diri tu hebat, jgn sombong, jgn bongkak. Kalau kita nak berjaya, berjaya bersama2. Baru syok...the more the merrier!! ^^ Kalaulah semua manusia berperangai sebegini di dunia, maka nnt rasanya boleh buat rombongan besar2 masuk ke syurga. AMIN~~

          Dan bagi sesiapa yang pernah main chess, mesti tahu kan pasal had masa yg diberikan kepada seseorang. Jadi, kita x boleh berfikir lama dan panjang sgt. Setiap langkah yang kita lakukan mestilah ada tujuannya. Mana boleh kita gerakkan satu2 buah tu kerana suka2 or sebab hati rasa nk gerak yang tu. Tak boleh...kalau macam tu sia2 sajalah kita diberi peluang utk menggerakkan buah jika kita tidak manfaatkannya. Begitu juga dgn kehidupan. Semua orang tahu kita bukannya penghuni tetap dunia, jadi lakukanlah setiap perkara itu dengan tujuan yang jelas dan nyata. Jgn sia2kan hidup yang telah dianugerahkan kepada kita. Mungkin kita sebagai remaja x nmpk signifikan bnda ni, sbb kite terlalu enjoy dengan dunia remaja. Apabila telah dewasa kelak, jgnlah menangis air mata berdarah kerana kekesalan masa dahulu. Tiada gunanya.

           Time tgh khusyuk bermain chess tu, adalah terdengar somebody ckp,

"Wow, hebatkan orang main chess ni?? Memang respect lah orang yang main catur.....macam mana diorang boleh fikir nk jalan mana, pastu nak tgk lawan punya pergerakan lagi pastu nak bahagikan masa lagi. Banyak betul kena buat dlm satu masa. Rasa gerunlah pula nak main chess ni. HEBAT BETUL!!!"

Kalau ada orang yang kata begitu, maka secara tidak langsung, dia telah mengakui dan membenarkan juga bahawa semua manusia tu hebat. Sebab semua manusia kan LIFE PLAYER...which is = CHESS PLAYER.

Tapi yang membezakan kita antara yang lain ialah "HOW GOOD IS YOUR STRATEGY TO WIN THE GAME"
