I'm no perfect person & I know that there's still a lot of things that I need to learn & there's still lots of experience that need to be gained. As long as I accept myself & be gentle to myself as I learn, that is what truly matters. โบ๏ธ

Jarang-jarang aku nasihatkan orang yang menghadapi "toxic workplace" untuk berpindah. Ia cuma nasihat yang sesuai sekiranya segala ikhtiar lain sudah habis diusahakan atau dalam kata lain, "as last resort".
Kenapa?
Satu, tiada jaminan pun tempat baru tu tidak akan ada isu yang sama.
Kedua, kadang level of toxicity yang kita hadapi tu level boleh urus sebenarnya, tetapi kita sahaja yang terlalu takut untuk melawan.
Dan ketiga, sifat suka lari dari masalah akan menyulitkan segala urusan hidup. You will be forever running throughout your whole life.
Melawan tu ada seni. Dan melawan tu bukan bermaksud menengking orang, membuat apa apa "grand gesture" untuk menunjukkan rebellion. Melawan tu adakalanya halus. Dan dalam banyak kes, melawan itu adalah menawarkan situasi win-win.
Make peace with the fact that:
a) Not everything yang pentadbir kau buat, kau akan suka. Near impossible. And unless they give you solid reasons not to, please maintain a good relationship with your admins.
b) Sometimes you can't get along with ALL of your colleagues, and some of them be hating for no reason pun. Let go.
c) People are not mind readers. If you have better ideas for your school, VOICE.IT.OUT. Don't so easily assume "ahh no one's gonna listen to it anyway".
Kadang kau kena buktikan dulu baru orang percaya. Atau kena gerak dulu sorang-sorang, guna duit sendiri dahulu. Some people are only convinced when results start to show. Reality of life.
d) and finally, make peace with the fact that at times, you gotta do things solo. And that you can be okay with that. Memang seronok buat apa-apa ada geng, tapi kalau takde pun, kasi onz je. Without you realizing you may be the spark that kickstart positive change at school.
Instead of running away from toxic culture, be the one changing it. I agree it's not applicable for every single case, but give it a shot first before throwing in the towel.

I forgot about this. This came naturally to me but well well well, sometimes I fall too; venting to some people who are not wrong but not right either. Welp, what's done is done, what's happened, happened.
Gotta just brush every dusts off while slowly transition back to my best little bubble that consists of me, my books and a very few people in my life that has proved themselves worthy of my trust, time & energy.

Deko Rumah Masyarakat Cina?
Saya tak tau macam nak explain benda ni. Orang Cina selalunya jarang renovate rumah bagi nampak grand atau mewah.
Hiasan pun sangat minimum. Asalkan fungsi dengan baik, thats it. Kalau renovate pun, kami make sure reno yang penting-penting dan amat berguna saja.
Contohnya, buat table top dan cabinet kitchen atau pun extend ruangan dapur untuk buat laundry.
Of course la kabinet kan tempat untuk simpan mangkuk-mangkuk. Eh? Asal lain macam je bunyinya? ๐
Dari segi perabot pula, kami tak spend terlalu banyak untuk impress tetamu. Asalkan sofa tu berkualiti dan kemas, dah okaylah. Tak perlu nak nampak mewah ke apa.
Meja makan pun simple. Tak ada deko bunga berat-berat atau hiasan atas meja sampai nak runtuh meja makan tu. ๐
Yang penting fungsi meja makan tu saja. Langsir pun sama. Tak ada nak beli ropol-ropol nampak mewah tu. Just simple dan senang nak basuh. Senang nak maintain.
Hiasan dalaman pun sama.
Kalau korang biasa pergi rumah kawan-kawan chinese, rumah mereka sangat simple. Jarang sangat nak deko rumah nampak mewah. Perabot mewah atau grand pun jarang ada.
Kami hanya pentingkan cat berkualiti. Nampak kemas dan bersih. Setel! Haha.. Hiasan lampu pun sama. Jarang sangat yang pasang chandelier yang besar-besar. Kat siling pun jarang ada ukiran ke apa. Selalunya kosong saja.
Tu saya pelik bila kawan-kawan wife saya dah beli rumah tapi tak duduk lagi sebab nak kumpul duit design dan renovate rumah. Nak nampak mewah rumah tu.
Banyak rugi woo.. kena bayar sewa kat luar, pada masa yang sama kena bayar kepada bank duit rumah baru yang tak diduduki.
Selalunya kami takkan renovate rumah sekali semua. Buat sikit-sikit. Untuk permulaan buat asas dulu. Buat table top ke, cabinet kitchen ke atau extend dapur sikit.
Masyarakat kami sayang habiskan untuk renovate rumah semata-mata. Mostly kami tak perlukan validation dari orang luar yang kami ada banyak duit. Orang kaya ya. Saya tak kaya lagi. Haha..
Duit mostly kami habiskan untuk pendidikan, melancong dan makan.
Orang Cina cukup suka makan dan banyak spend duit untuk nikmati makanan yang sedap dan berkualiti.
Wife saya dulu makan je apa semua. Tapi bila berkahwin dengan saya, saya ajar dia nikmati makanan yang sedap. Dia sebelum ni makan tepi jalan je. Asalkan kenyang. Sedap ke tak belakang cerita.
Tapi prinsip orang Cina lain sikit. Mahal sikit tak apa. Asalkan sedap dan berkualiti. Memang kami banyaak spend duit untuk makanan.
Kemudian, masyarakat kami banyak habiskan duit untuk melancong. We dont really buy material, but we do buy experience.
Kami suka melancong untuk tambah pengalaman hidup. Kalau setakat reno rumah, duit sampai situ saja. Kepuasan tu hanya sementara. Takkan nak duduk rumah 24 jam je kan?
Hidup ni bukan nak puaskan hati orang. Tapi hidup ni untuk kayakan diri dengan pengalaman supaya bila tua nanti tak jadi orang yang membosankan. Kan?
Itulah yang ayah saya tanamkan sejak kecil. Rasanya ramai orang Cina pun dididik sebegitu. Hidup simple dan beli sesuatu bukan untuk menunjuk tetapi kepuasan atau reward diri selepas berkorban selama ni.

According to Feng Shui experts,
1. you also need to keep the stove very clean.
A dirty stove can attract negative energy around you. Apart from that, also make sure to throw away any chipped items like mugs or glasses. Replace them instantly with newer ones.
You can even use salt to clean your kitchen. Experts suggest that it soaks in all the negative energy around you due to its absorbent properties.
2).Add Citrus
One of the very popular Feng Shui remedies for northeast kitchens is adding citrus, like 9 lemons in a bowl. Use any citrus that you like and place it on your countertop.
It brings positive energy into your kitchen. Alongside adding to your kitchen aesthetic, it also makes your kitchen smell great.
Many Feng Shui experts suggest that you keep nine oranges in a bowl on your countertop for optimum chi.
The number nine is popularly known to be a lucky number. However, there is no fixed rule. The idea is to add to the aesthetic appeal and also emanate positive vibes in the kitchen.

Make sure to have enough windows throughout the house for ideal ventilation. When you cook, it fills your kitchen with fumes that can be harmful to you.

Keep all the knives away. You can put them in cabinets and drawers. It is much safer and also helps with keeping negative energy away.
5. Bring in Some Art
It is a great idea to bring any form of art into the kitchen.
This can be anything that you like or is pleasing to your eye. For example, you can add colorful paintings or even food paintings. It should reflect your personality and look great too.

6. Play with Lighting
If you have a fairly small kitchen, using LED lighting options is a great idea. It can make your kitchen look decently lit. Aside from its aesthetic appeal, it also gives you enough light to work in the best way.
When choosing lights for your kitchen, pay special attention to the shift in energy due to lighting.
Some Feng Shui experts also recommend that you layer your lights to give the best effect. If you want a natural look, you can also use skylights

Dulu pernah terfikir alangkah indahnya kalau saya kaya. Tapi semakin dewasa rasa takut juga kalau jadi kaya, takut susah rasa puas & semakin susah untuk bersyukur.
Kalau kaya, takut hilang harta, takut jatuh miskin. Kalau kaya, takut orang sekeliling cuma ambil kesempatan, tiada yg ikhlas, kurang percaya dengan sesiapa.
Kalau kaya dengan cara senang, semua sudah boleh dapat, rasa puas hati mungkin kurang.
Kalau kaya dengan cara susah, takut semakin sayangkan harta, rasa makin berat memberi dan cuma mahu menyimpan, menyimpan dan menyimpan.
Tapi melihat diri sederhana, cukup untuk memenuhi keperluan & perlu berusaha jika kehendak lebih, rasa lebih bersyukur sebab berjaya puaskan diri dengan usaha/cabaran.
Saya bersyukur. Terima kasih Tuhan.

Bersyukur apabila sakit sebab diingatkan betapa berharganya kesihatan. Kalau sihat, selalu menunda masa. Kalau sakit terlantar baru sedar betapa ruginya masa yg dibuang begitu saja sewaktu sihat. Selagi masih sihat, hargailah kesihatan & masa yg ada sewaktu sihat. Seimbangkan kerja, rehat dan hiburan.

This holiday I just want to do nothing. I'm too tired to socialize, make plans, etc. I may miss my family & want to meet up but I feel tired to even do anything that I like. All I feel like is want to be on my own, unbothered by people, lie down & stare intoโฆ
Wah, about 2 years ago ๐ Now it's about 2 years later & I felt similar - the only difference is that this time it's mot because of tired, no hard feelings either; I just felt called to recharge in solitude, spending all my time doing what's good for me, what's make me happy, what's giving me sense of purpose, decluttering & sending my prayer of gratitude every single day. ๐๐ชท

Be humble and kind - but take no b*llsh*t.
Know your worth - without looking down on other people.
See the good in people - without ignoring the red flags.
Heal - without becoming like those who hurt you.
Be grateful for what you have - while your other desires & needs in prayers are yet to be answered; have faith that even if it may not be answered the way you wanted, it will always be for a good reason & everything will just turn out to be for the best.
Remember the key to prayer - faith and surrender. ๐
