Look at what i got.  Well, i am neither a country nor a town boy and this is the first time i used a fishing net.  A beginner's luck  I guess.  For those of you who never hold or even use the fishing net, be thankful.  It's very hard to use one.  Now i started to appreciate fish and sea creatures by eating them without wasting them... Hehehee







 Never try this at your nearest road.  This is the highway that connected the rural area of Sarawak and I am proud (and scared) to stumble on it.  One thing that I feel strange is that why does that area did'nt have electricity as along as 26 years?? However, even without clean water and electricity still the people of Ensebang Sungai Burak manage to succeed in their field (we even have a PHD holder there in my kampung.  






 




Happy New Year

Wow, what a year... Personally i had accomplish and lost many things last year, hence making me a better (hopefully not becoming worse) as time past by.  Better still, everyone fell the same too, right?  Well, as for me last was an experimental year for me. I had tried many things ; good and bad things.  Learn many stuff, forgot some though but the point is every time we live in this earth, every minute, evey second we breath we are experencing something new.   


There is an old saying; "each breath we take reveals each second of the future".  Sounds like master U Gui in the Kungfu Panda movie which tells us the value of the current time being; "Yesterday was a history and tommorow is a mystery; but today is a gift: that is why they called it PRESENT."


It really was a cool and meaningful advise(from a cartoon) as it reminded us about the permanent past, the uncertainty of the future and the significance of the present.  That is why we must always chesrish and enjoy what we have now.  Improve as to unfold the uncertain and mystery future with the help of the history and experience from the past which must be done now-on the time being.  I sure am talking a lot about this stuff but not to worry i am not perfect even in managing my own life.  


Wise philophers always say that "we were all managers and kings".  I agree with that statement because as managers, we manage our own life, our family's life and even manage other peoples whereabouts.  As kings we rule our mind to think rationaly, act wisely and reflect deeply of our life and other people's life.  That is why, live our life to the fullest by not taking it for granted and always do our best in every aspects.  


In this new dawn of the year , ask ourselves, what have i accomplish?  What have i done? Where do I went wrong? What should i do? but never ask "when to start?" because the answer is always NOW!  Why do i say so? because i myself was that kind of person last year.  Because of this attitude i became an excellent PROSCRATINATOR or the last minute man.  I used to ask myself the same question and the answer is not now but LATER, AFTERWARD and TOMMOROW.  


Nevertheless, planning is essential in order to life our life to the fullest because " those who failed to plan, planned to fail" (notice where the past tense verbs are).  Planning is important because by planning we enhance our vision, focus to our mission in archieving something.  For me the formula to archieve something is through the target or our doing.  The purpose and the objective of what do we want to archieve is the key to life our life to the fullest.  That is what we call motivation.  It may be intrinsic and extrinsic but through motivation, we are actually guiding our will and determination.  


My brother once told me about a lecturer which scolded him for not studying hard.  The lecturer then told him that the indication whether you are studying and working hard enough is though observing your weight; if you lose much weight you are working a lot but if you are losing just a little bit, you are working a little.  Eventhough I don't quite argree with that statement, I still nod my head on one thing; determination in archeving something make us ignore the suffering until we didn't realize that we had made a worthy sacrifice.  That is what the lecturer really meant when he scolded my brother.  


Phew... I had talk so much today and I think I need to pen off for the time being.  Until then, Happy New Year and thank you for reading my blog.. bye...
