PROUD

PROUD


Lately, there is nothing new in my life to talk about. I totally run out of idea what to blog and I guess so do you. Perhaps, year ends, everyone seems busy with your own things. To me, nothing to complain ^_^ even just for fun. So bored! However, there was a memorable event for me at the end of the year.

Maybe some of you know that I will be graduating very soon (1 more week to enjoy my studying time while it lasts). And this final year, I had an honor to represent my university among thousands of students to attend a big conference of the year: NATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE in Mandarin Oriental hotel on 5th Dec. I didn't know that I was chosen to attend this conference until last minute 4th Dec in the morning, my faculty staff called me to inform that. At first, I was so angry because of this last minute informing (you guys know that I hate doing thing at the last minute notice because I don't like to be arranged by people). At first, I wanted to say no because I had to work on that day. However, they said "It's compulsory". What to do?

Next morning, I woke up so early at 6.30pm to prepare, to make up, to dress up... and tried to reach the hotel at sharp 8.30am. Wow! So many people there and I felt that I was so small girl among all of the big managers, CEO, M.D of so many companies, a thousand of people I think. Luckily, that day I was wearing a formal suit. It made me feel a bit more confident because at least I didn't look like small girl in the adult event :D even though I'm working now. You see!


The event started at sharp 9a.m after we had breakfast served by the hotel. So yummy the food there!.  The conference took place quite long, from 9am until 6pm. However, we had a lot of breaks in between. Perhaps, this conference was organized for the BIG BOSSES of the companies (of course including me) thus, every time during break, we were served so nice foods and drinks. I couldn't remember how much food and drink I had but overall, I had a chance to travel from Japan with sushi king to western countries with all western food, Vietnamese food as well. The conference seemed to be shorten and not boring because of that.

All day long, I also had a chance to learn so many management experience from so many managers, CEOs of the big company. They came to share their ideas and knowledge. We had free books, free gift, free meals, free drink. Everything was free because my classmate had sponsored me for that. It worths almost RM1k to attend that conference. In conclusion, I felt happy and proud of myself for what I've gained during my study here.

Open ceremony, I don't know how they did that. They managed the ball to fly from outside to inside and stop right away on the stage for the Chairman of Public Bank to get the key then open the door. It was very interesting and creative.


Do I look like a young CEO in the future? Pretend to be serious a bit because everybody is so serious now. Hehehe


We had a chance to talk and learn from the Managing Director, Robert Herbold, formerly Bill Gate's COO of Microsoft. He had delivered such an excellent speech on that day. I got a Free book Seduced by Success from him, worth RM111. ^_^


Overall, everything was great! But I what I love the most in the hotel is....the toilet. It's so nice. 



So if you guys have any friend wants to book a room in the hotel, do recommend this one. When you there to visit your friend and by the way......hi.hi. lolz...

That day, my day ended at 10pm because after that conference, I had to rush back to teach in a studio. I was too tired to teach 2 classes, so I have to cancel 1. Tired, but overall, it was a good and meaningful day.

And today is.........Saturday :D. So happy weekend to all.

SINGLE AND "DOUBLE"


Don't get me wrong here :D What I want to say is the differences between when I'm single and when i'm couple :D. I don't know whether you guys have the same thinking like me.
No Single Couple
1 When I was still single, I wish my guy has to be a handsome, rich, romantic, loving prince When I'm couple, I realize that all those dreamed guys are not for me, they are for….someone else. It's not because I'm not good, but just because I'm not a princess either.
2 When i was single, I don't like those girls everyday suffer from love, just know how to cry because those boys, and complain a lot. Why they are so weak? So silly? Why can't they go out to look for any guy In fact, nobody wants to be weak emotional. Sadness and argument are always the characteristics of LOVE. It's like the ocean has to have waves. No matter how strong you are, you still need to cry one day for someone that you truly love them.
3 Sometimes, I feel annoyed with those couples standing at public like cinema, park but doing all the weird actions to show off their Love such as: feeding each others, kissing, etc… But now, I'm afraid if there is anyone cursing behind me if my action annoys them, hahaa…However, in conclusion, LOVE HAS NO SIN and only the member inside "the Show" will understand how sweet is the kiss and how happy they feel. ;) as long as they are not out of permitted limitation.
4 I dream about the lifestyle in which I will cook for my Love every good meal everyday when i was single. Still pending (but it's not my fault, lolz :p)
5 I don't need anything( money, house, car, etc…) from him as long as he loves me by his heart, only Me in this world. Oops, living expense is raising up higher and higher. (Did you see toll fee increase 40cents at least? lolz.....). In fact, I can't just drink water and eat air to survive. I need to find my own money to support myself but in the meantime, I want my future hubby to be stable in everything so that I feel safe…for him, and for me. Then we both can stress free.
6 I always dream that I will have a Love story as sweet as it's in fairy tale. The prince and the princess will live happily until they both are very old, their teeth want to fall down, and their hair turn grey…Forever love! I think everyone also wishes that. Because fairy tale never come to life, so I rather back to my real life. Happy with what I have and try to protect it. I don't dare to think until the hair turn grey coz nowadays, people dye their hair a lot, lolz..... Truth and lie are very difficult to tell. I just wish to live until 70s and my love still love me as the beginning. That's too sufficient already. :D
7 Sometimes I think that Love needs to be challenged by many different ways and by the end my darling can overcome everything to come back to me. That's will be a true Love. And Love will be stronger and it will last forever. "What a crazy thinking! Does life not bring enough trouble to you?" and now, I just wish and wish everyday I can be happy together with him. I just want peacefulness.
8 He loves me then he has to be love whatever belongs to me now matter how ugly I am, how bad my personality is. The fact is, trying to improve myself is one of the ways to protect my love. Love means everyone has to become better and better. I don't want him if he is so ugly and bad characteristic and perhaps, so does he too.
9 He has tobe a perfect man, never do anything guilty toward me at all and I can trust him 100% because he will never hurt me. If you've ever hurt, you will know how difficult to forgive people. Actually, there are some mistakes that can never be forgiven. But destiny is giving each other one more chance. No one is perfect even God and I won't trust anyone 100% because I want to protect myself from disappointment.
10 He only loves me, not anyone else. He will never change his love to me. And I only love 1 person in my life. If cannot live together with him, I will never get married. If your love to him can be changed, why not his? Nothing in life is absolute. I need to build up my feelings, my love everyday if I want it to grow up stronger. Or else, It will die. And in order to find a real love, sometimes, we need to pass through few one so that we will respect the last one we have.

THE POWER OF THREE WORDS.

THE POWER OF THREE WORDS.


At 20 years old, when he said "I love you", her face turned red and she tried to use her small hands to cover her shy face. She wanted to say something but doesn't know what to say. Just kept quiet, smiled and looked at him happily. At 25 years old, he talked to her "I love you". She lightly put her head on his shoulder and said "I love you too". Not long after that, they got married. When 30 years old, he said "I love you", she smiled radiantly and said "Let's make your words become actions, please help me to take care of our baby". And she kissed him. 4o years old, when he said "I love you", she asked him suspiciously "Let's tell me honestly, did you bring our money to any girl outside? " 50 years old, he still said "I love you". It reminded her of their honeymoon 25 years ago, they had dinner with candle, wine and roses after that to celebrate 25 year wedding anniversary. 70 years old, in the afternoon, an old couple was sitting on the sofa and watch TV. The old man said "I love you", the old lady looked at him and smiled back to him. Her face was full of happiness. They hold hands very tightly to finish watching the whole movie. How powerful the three words "I Love You" are! These are the words that we speak mostly in our life. WOMEN ARE DESPERATE TO HEAR IT FROM HER HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND. These three words have no age. Everyone can say it out, from the young children to the older people. Its power can turn out our day from dark to bright, from sadness to happiness, it brings smiles to our face and warm up our heart. BUT, CAUTION: TRUST NO MAN WHO SAYS "I LOVE YOU" WHEN HE IS AT MID-ORGASM. (book says so, lolz)

24TH BIRTHDAY

24TH BIRTHDAY


One day passed after my actual birthday, but I still received many wishes, celebration, gifts from friends (some of my gifts even are on the way coming to me, so happy :p). I received a special glass from a special person ;), cloths, cosmetic, the book that I wanted to buy for so long, accessories and even... money (don't envy me :p). I felt that my birthday is not only 1 day (5th Nov), it's always 1 week birthday or even more than that.

Happy 24th birthday to me!

Exam finished. I received a number or student email, SMSes saying thanks to me for coaching them, training them, and be very patient in helping them. Wow! To me, that's a BIG GIFT. And besides thanking, they're also "warning" me. Something like this, you believe or not: ....................................................................................................................................................................... Dear teacher, Thanks for helping me up by dancing me yesterday. I really appreciate it and also thanks for your patient in guiding me all this while. REMINDER: DO NOT PREGNANT BEFORE FINISH MY SILVER LEVEL...  Regards, ...................................................................................................................................................................... HAHAHA..........SO FUNNY! Thank to my very loyal and enthusiastic students. :D I don't know how long I can finish your silver level yet, but it seems a long way to go :D. So means from now until that time, i cannot get married.

Ok! Forget about the passed exam. It's time for celebrating and enjoying. And the POTLUCK PARTY was one of the activities to cheer you all UP after a few hard working months. Once again, we DRUNK, we EAT, and we DANCE. And every time, we stop, the clock points 1am. I think we all were very happy that night. No more stress, no more exam, no more practicing... Only Drink and Dance. Let  me share with you some of the happiest moments:
Cheers!!!!! You can see, our Studio members are not only good dancers, but also good drinkers :D. Evidence????? Here they are! Drink until so drunk already (from 9pm-12am) but they still could dance and make all nice poses like this:

FUYOH!!!! :D . And not only dancing, they are also good at ACTING.
When men are acting womenly....

And women become stronger....
And the result is gonna be like that! The world has changed, hasn't it? :D
No!!!!! It doesn't.
