Robin Hood

This afternoon, I went to watch a movie i.e. Robin Hood with my mom. The length of the movie was quite long as it took around 2 and 1/2 hours.

I would highly recommend you to watch this movie. You cannot miss this because you will surely entertained by the story. Before I watch the movie, I guess it would just Robin and the gang helping the poor in the hood and the story surround this setting. But the truth was, it talked about war between 2 nation which were England and France. It mainly featured the battlefield scene.

Hehe.. not only that , for more information, you need to watch it yourself. The movie would not be what you have expected.

I tell you, you won't waste a single cent watching this movie. It was really good!

The Robin Hood production need to pay me for this... wakaka.... for promoting the movie....

I felt pitiful towards people in the olden days.

Firstly,the suffering and how vulnerable the people (especially villages) were.

Ugly side of people- Exploitation of the strong over the weak person, it happen every where, from yesterdays until modern days.

I was amazed how the people from the past had such strong physical condition to fight for war.

I really like the character of Robin Hood. He was an unlucky man to be outlaw.With the unlucky happening struck on his life( you find out the reason why in the movie), he was yet the true man with bravery and kindness. I wonder, would there be such good and ideal man on earth that I can really meet? The story had given me inspiration that I can't describe. In this movie it gave me lots of 'a-ha moment".

In conclusion, this is a worth to watch movie.

Drama for Malaysian Studies

This morning, my group has to present Historical Role Play before independence of Malaysia. My group and I took role in Portuguese colonisation era.

For this presentation or known as role play, we had preparation around a month. The preparation were:

• Casting- Choosing the main character and sub one
• Wardrobe
• Background music
• Story line and script
• etc.

However, the outcome was not really good.

• Firstly, there was last minute setting on background (slide to be projected on the screen)


• Lack of cooperation among the actor and actress ( this was mainly due to some didn't memorize the dialog well and some were absent during rehearsal)


• The outfit was not attractive enough


• Background music was too soft (we forgot to prepare speaker) and the music was released in the wrong time

My role was just casting a Portuguese soldier. Haha, today, I missed some lines and the scenario was a bit "kelam-kabut" when the acting go not what we rehearsal. I had even laugh and act stupidly in front of the audience. Also, there were some moments where I turn blank and stood there doing nothing.... Haha....

The drama was a bit messy in fact, it can label as a disaster. Back at the stage, we didn't know when actually is our turn to act. Poor Ck, chasing everyone to go on stage.

Here, I'm not blaming my teammates effort. But is just what I learned from the mistake we made.(Note: My contribution was seemingly less, so, I was a bit guilty too with how much work I have given to the entire presentation.)

My insight:

Being a leader which was taken by Kong in coordinating the whole drama preparation is a tough job as I have observed in this whole activity. (Imagine, how leader of the world can rule a country like Obama and Hu Jin Tao that rule his country... I really salute them who can take such heavy responsibility well such as able to make people willingly to work efficiently...) This time, the participants involve in acting were way a lot then other group I have work before. Issue like arranging time to meet together; sending message to those were absent to make sure they know what happened; getting people to work (but usually was not what you expected) etc.

Working with people especially a lot of them in an activity was not easy as I think.

Guess what?

I will need to work on more leadership skill and communication skill.

Today, was a good encounter that opened my eyes to gain more self-improvement.

Released of results

Semester 2 examination....

Date: 29/3/2010-2/4/2010

Venue: Bandar Bukit Jalil Examination Hall

Time: 2pm -4pm

Test or examination is to justify what we understood. But does this really measure the student's ability or understanding toward the subjects comprehensively?

Some exam results were released this week. There were some who received good results but some were disappointed with it.

There were common feelings.....+,-,X,/,@,#,$,%.......among the students.

• ^^ Happy for the outcome as it shown that all the efforts given were worth after all.


• -_- Disappointed with the result and do not know where went wrong in the exam.


• !_! Regretted and despair with the outcome due to lack of preparation.


• %_% Shock with the result (either too good---"my god, I didn't prepare and I get such good result?"-----or bad "The exam was easy, how come I get such bad results?"


• ?? Etc...

As a student, all the above feeling I felt before.

To my friends...

For those who obtain good results, congratulation! Continue your effort and sustain your standard.

For those who received results that were not desired, don't be too sad. I will say, never stop trying. It is normal to be sad, but you need to get over it. Let's work this together (in adjusting your sad mood).

Believe in yourself, you will fly and reach the sky that you aimed.

Background music:"...... I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky, think about it every night and day...."

The Power of Self Image Psychology

This is a motivational book that my mom recommended me to read. I found this book interesting and got lots of "a-ha" moment. It helped me to uncover my hidden potential and gave me strength to continue my journey by reaching my goals.

The author was a plastic surgeon. He had improved many people's feature from the bad or the ugly to beautiful or attractive one. However, some of his clients, despite the features had improved compare before surgery, they never felt the change as beautiful or charming but even worse. This was because, they still pertain the self image as ugly or a failure.

The book was not talking about how to improve physical appearance, but, the appearance you perceive on yourself in your thought or known as "self-image".

There are twelve principle to obtain "magic power" in your self image. The key words were obtained from the last chapter of the book. How to practise this? This is by setting a positive self image and not forgetting keeping it in your mind, the wonderful words of wisdom are:-

1. 
   
   Know the Truth of yourself. Many people tend to overlook their potential and constantly tell themselves they can't do it. Why destroy or pull down yourself by telling yourself you cannot do something but the truth is you can?
2. 
   Use your Imagination, see yourself as successful you want. Keep that image in your mind, tell yourself you are reaching to it as you are working on it.
3. 
   
   
   Relaxation is crucial to recharge yourself for future work. It is no use to constantly tense up but to enjoy the whole process as fulfilling. It is simple, when you are tired, put aside worries, you will settle it once you get the energy after relaxation. (Lynhuei, you need to learn from this...be calm and stop worrying)
4. 
   
   Get That Winning feeling after you have accomplish something that very meaningful to you. Be positive, think you can win, no one is born to be a failure after all.
5. 
   
   Cultivate Good Habits. Who say you can't change your bad habits that hinder your progress? You are in charge of the game here, you can change the rule as long as you want a change!
6. 
   
   The Aim of Happiness. Life is full of ups and downs, try to be joyful as every day is a new day to go. Everyday you have is actually a blessing as we have time to pursue what we want. Try to live to the fullest!
7. 
   
   Unmasking. Be yourself, do not be what people want you to be or intimidate someone else. Everyone is born uniquely. Genuine is the beauty of all.
8. 
   
   Compassion is most wonderful thing in the world. With this, for example empathise other people who need help and try reaching them is the best quality of mankind. Be compassion and kind, you will feel good.
   
9. 
   
   Accepting your weakness. Do not blame yourself and constantly stay in that blame game on yourself. Do what you can to alter learn from. Condemning yourself for your fault that everyone in the world make can only make you feel vulnerable. Stand up!
   
10. 
    
    Living with your mistakes. Yes, forgive yourself and take it as valuable lesson. The worst mistake is not making mistakes but do not get over from your mistakes and just stuck there. Mistakes over the years are experiences that useful for you.
    
11. 
    
    Being yourself. Be truthful to yourself. Love yourself, you belong to yourself, no one can take your self-esteem away, unless you don't want to own it. Honesty is the best policy.( Don't be mistaken,this is not for business, but self-development.)
    
12. 
    
    Never Retiring. Even you are going to retire, go for something you like, you are not useless even though you retire from you work. You can still live as young as you like. ( Note: this is only applicable when you reach your retiring age. Just keep it, use it when the time comes. ^^)

I wish you can acquire a good self image that leads you to the life you desire and success.

Thanks for reading.

Dissapointment to the matches

Today, Malaysia team lost to China for all the matches in semi-finals.

Were the players' mental strength deteriorate? Insufficient energy? Inadequate skills? Pressure? Or luck was just not there?

I am unhappy, hope has vanished.... My idol lost!

I was really disappointed, but let the bygones be bygones.

Hope Malaysia can get both Thomas and Uber Cup 2 years later.

Be positive I guess is the best cure.

Group Work

Today, my team had presentation on CIT subject on Astro company.

Ok, the outcome was so-so because:

• The presentation slides were not attractive ( Mr. Burn suggest to me to put more diagram or picture)
• The length of the presentation was short a compared to other teams.
  
• Sir asked lots of question ( This showed that he didn't understand about what we presented)

Also, I found out that my group members were not participative enough. There is something wrong I can sense but I can't tell. But every time I have meeting, the members will give all kind of excuses to me. Then, they will be late for sending what I asked. Hey... these were minor problem.

Being a leader, sometimes I really feel demotivated when I talk to them, they don't give feedback. Or, some even "order" me for doing something (that they suppose to do).

Ok, enough for the complaints. I need to stop blaming.

As I have read Dale Carnegie's work, How to Win Friends &Influence People 1st chapter 'If you want to gather the HONEY, don't kick over the BEEHIVE".

In summary of this chapter, Don't criticise, condemn, or complain.You need to consider for example put in people's shoe. If you were him( the person the annoyed you), will you be doing the same thing?

Haha--- I have broked the fundamental rules.

Ok, this will be my starting point to work on my mistakes.

GO Malaysian team

I really hope our Malaysian team can get Thomas Cup and Uber Cup and prove to the world we memang boleh bukan cakap boleh atau memang tak boleh.

Felt so bad, I didn't watch Lee Chong Wei's match yesterday! Sorry Mei Xian, I have wasted your money for texting me. LOL. This was because I had cold fight with my sis and she had "conquer "the Tv yesterday. Bad sis......



Anyway....

Malaysia team... Please make me proud! I can't do anything for them but just wanna show my patriotism(haha) and give them support here.

All the best to Malaysia badminton team...

Dissapointment

Around 40 minutes ago, I was waken my phone. It was my friend mengyao calling.She told me I got B+ for the assignment as she had obtained the feedback form.

What a heart-breaking moment! After the tick and thin, sweat and tears I had gone through in the assignment, I got credit only? This result dissatisfy me! I have worked really hard and suffer insomnia for several day and actually weeks, my work was A's work. Why? Why the result always far from my expectation?

This really demotivating.

What to do?

I need some time to adjust myself.

My boat is sinking! Can someone help? No, I need to help myself first. Please show the way! Think! Think! Be positive!

Now, I really hope I can score very well in examination.

Smile

My dad forward me with this email, I do not know where the source was from( sorry to the author as I can't cite your work).

However; I would like to share with you this:

Smile like... when you were a kid...

....to be beautiful when you grow up!

Even should your beauty fade....you can still look happy

No matter what happens to you, keep a Smile on your face

Have a good day!



I feel so touch especially when he knows I was not happy the day before yesterday.
He sent this to comfort me.


My insight:
We are made of flesh and we can easily stir up by our own emotion such as anger, frustration, sorrow etc. No doubt we can't reject negative feeling , but , we can choose not to hold it and let it away after calming ourselves .

It's best to convert the negative emotion to positive pushing force.Think and take action to the source or cause pertaining to your unhappiness.
Tips: Focus on the issue not people.


I hope you can find your own progression to lead you the way to happiness.

Note: Remember to smile! ^^

When in Rome

• I feel my "finger itchiness" today. Haha.... That is why I write this blog.

• This was the movie I watch with my mom, sis and cousin last Tuesday. It is a romance movie.
• It talked about the main actress,Beth who did not believe in love after experienced failure before. She was like many women today, workaholic and had married to her work.
• Then, she took the coins from "Love Fountain" (note: I am not sure whether it is called) and thus a few admires came for her. Then the "adventure" began in her.
• At last, she found her true love.
• Overall, it was hilarious with certain jokes in.
• It ends happily.
• I do not describe the story plot in detail it is because:
  

1. I am lazy
2. In case you wanna watch, it will take away the surprise you can obtain from the movie.
   (excuse actually... sorry!)

I wish everyone can find their Mr. Right or Miss Right soon. And the story ends with fairy tale ending- Happy ever after ^^ . Believe it will come into reality.

Who knows? Miracles can happen.

In the picture of myself

I do not like to take photos since young. However, every time I visit facebook or other networking site's photo album, I have always admire people in the photos. Sometimes, I do wish I have many pictures of myself to keep those memory vividly of what I have encountered.

These few days, I have found the reason behind it after I have read a motivational book. Why I do not take photos with my friend ( except only they ask for or sometimes need to pledge me....."I am such a difficult person?" lol)?

It is actually very simple, it is all about self-esteem.

During secondary school time especially, I have no confidence at all. I do not even like my look, as I appeared not-so-pretty as compared with other girls (this was how I felt). Every time, I felt disappointed with the class picture taken every year. I had always compare myself with others, not only how do I look, my grades, etc. I was not happy that time as I was fooled by my negative thoughts. I had no self-trust. Actually, I am my worst enemy... (Do you know you are your worst enemy?).

Today, when I think of the past, I felt so sorry of myself. Why? I did not accept who I am. It is rather pathetic to dislike yourself. No one can make you feel inferior when you, yourself allow it. You belong to yourself. Every time we work to pledge people; to make people like you; to make people accept you. But the question is, are we really happy? Can happiness be measured by just how frequently you smile or laugh? Why can't we make ourselves happy; why do we lives under horror of your negative thought? Life is once and don't you feel is a waste to fill our only once with sorrow, dissatisfaction, problems, etc? I am not saying that we would not encounter bad things but is how we perceive it and handle it.

To err is human. We always make mistakes. But the sad in mankind is they don't want to accept the mistake they made and constantly stuck in the self-blaming situation where it inhibits progress. The worst mistake of all is actually not to accept mistakes. Mistake made is meant for learning, not to make you stuck there.

Back to my case, I had let myself down. But it is not too late to live your life to fullest. Have confidence towards youself, Lynhuei, you are equally good as other people. We need to live everyday as if isit is the last. The past experience need to be get rid and not let it drag you from progressing.

I like myself and I am who I am.

I want to be happy.

I am a successful person by fulfilling my goals in the future.
