It’s a Lazy Day Today

March 13, 2010October 4, 2010 dixonthum

A view from where I’m sitting at now…

Mein is working this weekend… "All by myself… Don’t wana be… All by myself… anymore…" (Mulalah tu, sesi karaoke SS dia)…

Well, it’s been quite some time I did not give myself such free time to hang around in the ‘hot’ juicebar in the gym… (hot due to air-cond problem)… with Mariah Carey’s latest songs playing non-stop at the background… (which is quite annoying though)… Anyhow, managed to catch up some updates of my frequently-visited blogs… Quite surprised to read Wilson’s blog… Thanks for the special mention and I will still continue haunt you, don’t worry ya! ; ) BTW, Wilson my next run would be on 27 March 2010 in Cyberjaya. Yes, the Energizer Night Race 2010. I’m looking forward for you to join in the fun any time soon…

Also got to know that AprilCherrie has got her second child (a boy) already… She’s someone I do not know and I’m sure she doesn’t know me… But I started reading her blog for quite some time already.

I can’t imagine how long it’s been not reading people’s blogs daily… I used to do that last time when I was more free… I’m now fully occupied at work most of the time and I’m enjoying such life though. At least I know I’m not a lazy pig in the office. Haha! (Siapa makan cili, terasalah pedasnya….)

I guess it’s time for me to go now. Enjoy your weekend everyone! Adios~!

It’s 3D for Alice in Wonderland

March 7, 2010October 4, 2010 dixonthum

Finally, we went for a 3D movie – Alice in Wonderland… It’s not our first 3D experience but it’s our first 3D movie… We’ve watched 3D & 4D’s in Singapore when we were traveling in Sentosa last time. Not so fancy about 3D effects though. We find the first few minutes of the movie was heavily loaded with the "real-life" effects but later throughout the movie, the effect faded and it’s like watching 2D as usual again (with a blue + red glassed on!)

Hey, it’s us in 3D glasses!

Satisfied?

February 12, 2010October 4, 2010 dixonthum

I was walking passing a convenient store just now and I saw a mother holding her child’s hand. Judging by the clothes they were wearing, they do not look rich. There were dirt on the child’s clothes too. The child pointed at a little bag which did not look appealing to me, signalling to the mother asking her to buy it for him. It’s green coloured bag with cartoon prints on it. The mother looked at the bag for awhile, considering to buy it for him or not. It might not cost much but it took a while for the mother to decide. I suddenly felt so touched with this scenario. Well, you might be asking what’s so touching about it?

Looking at the incident, I asked myself, am I satisfied with my current living? Is everyone satisfied with their own life? I believe a lot of you might be having so much dissatisfaction in your current life. But what about those who are less fortunate than us? You might be chasing after an LV bag (or other branded names). But have you ever think of those who do not even know what is an LV? All they know are paper bags or plastic bags. They couldn’t care less of what’s holding in your hand. They are so much happy with the cartoon-printed bag which might cost less than a few Ringgit. Why are we so not satisfied, where as those who are less rich could feel so much joy and happiness with just something which is so much less costly?

You might be thinking "Because they do not have a choice. They are poor and can’t afford expensive stuff!".

BUT do you have a choice?

YES! You have a choice.

You can choose either to : "Be happy with what you have" OR "Be not happy with what you do not have".

New Level of Stress

January 27, 2010October 4, 2010 dixonthum

STRESS – I have faced an all new level of stress lately. I couldn’t fall asleep. I couldn’t stop my mind from thinking about life-related stuff (ESPECIALLY money-related issues). I sweat heavily while trying to sleep. Negative thoughts come to me. I felt like ending all these sufferings by terminating my life. I felt like jumping down from a high building. (Yes, don’t be surprised I did!)

Eventually, I tried to talk to a few friends. They’ve helped me a lot with their advice. Their words mean so much to me. At least they made me realise that I am not the only one facing such trauma… and it’s NOT worth it. (Thanks to a friend for this power phrase).

So, if any of you is undergoing such pressure, try talk to some friends. I’m sure you’ll feel much better.
