Change

Hi there, 

It's been weeks and maybe months since I've touch my blog, I've been busy with my work and also on learning how to sketch =) 

But yea, feel like it's about time to upload some postings before this blog start to grows spider web. 

This few weeks has been fruitful to me, so many things that I'd love to share but I'm not sure where to begin with. Oh well one step at a time I guess.
Today I am gonna share about something that has really brought a big impact to my awareness recently; which is 'change'. 

Many of us has different perception when it comes to change, 
some perceive it as a chance to grow, 
some feels that change is unnecessary, some fear change so much that they just turn their backs and run away. 

Change for me is a scary thing, in my whole life especially ruing the early stage of my childhood; I had my life planned out by my parents. Where should I study, what should I study, what should I do in the future. Hence, during those times everything seemed to be ready made and I would just follow the instructions given to achieve the goal that they want me to and this brought up whole long habit of making plans for my life. 

Regardless big or small issues in my life, I would set a schedule for it and follow accordingly. And when things don't go well I tend to break down and start throwing tantrums all around *yep that's right* 
However, it doesn't stop there, I am even more particular in all the details of the plans to ensure everything runs perfectly accordingly. 

This caused to many troubles for me in the later days of my life because I do not have the ability to compromise and tolerate others and I've been very stubborn through out the whole time. Until recently that my perspective started to change. 

The reason I gave in is due to the overload amount of new things coming into my life, and at some point I had to compromise towards it. However, when I started accepting it, great things begun to happen. New possibilities opened up and suddenly I see so many possibilities in my life. 

In our lives, we often face discomfort whenever there is a need to change, but that is the fun part of life. Because if we are all given a blue print for our life and we know what to do next to achieve things that we are suppose to achieve. Wouldn't that be very dull and pointless to live anymore? 

Life is all about exploring and journeying to the unknown part of life. It might be scary not to know, but what is behind the unknown is always a surprise and it's often a good one. 

Take an example when someone gets a gift, there is always that moment of excitement when opening the present, because we want to know what's inside. But if we were to tell the person whats the content of the present then it will take away all the fun.

It's all about the process that's what matters the most. There might be good and bad experience while we face changes in our lives but in all these moments and feelings; we learn and we continue to grow. For me I felt that this is the most wonderful thing about life itself. Everyone has the key in their hands to choose what they want to do in their life's. The ability to journey into the unknown to see all the possibilities that could happen.

Change might be scary, might be a joyful; but I can surely say that it's an experience that is so precious that can't be bought. 

So embrace change, embrace the unknown... that's what we called 'life' 

Today is our BEST day~~

Trials and hard times are a gift to us

How often in life that we face hard times, hardship moments that always tried to break us down. Crumbling our hearts and shattering our confidence and hope towards life.

I believe all of us have there fair share of moments in our life. For me, I would say my whole life is on a constant challenge; if given me a way to describe my life I would go with the rough seas. Waves by waves keep crashing after one another. But in my defence it is not a bad thing at all. 

There is a fun way of saying to help people that are constantly having trials in life; 

"When life gives you lemons, you made lemonade out from it." 

It is true when there are trials in life, what we need to do is embrace it, accept it and make the best our from it. 

"For who we are today is the result of the collective experience that we faced and experience in our younger days." -unknown-

Recently I was asked to helped out in my church to help guide the youths for a session of bible study due to the absence of the youth leader. It was quite a last minute thing hence I wasn't really prepared for anything except for a piece of paper that is given to me. 

But well the topic of the day is quite interesting, and I would say that God really works in his wonder ways. The topic was about knowing who is God and how God appear in our lives and impact us. This topic really touched me a lot as I was just a very different person before I met Him. 

Through out the sharing I shared about how I was convicted to became a Christian after a series of harsh events in my life. I was always blaming people around me for my misfortune and my hardship in my older days. But as days goes by I slowly understand why are all these event happening to me; and soon I realise these are gifts more that a curse or bad luck. 

So why is it a gift? 

A simple way to explain is that, if I don't go through those hard times last time, I would know what is the real meaning of pain, lost, despair. Knowing all these things in such a early timing helped me out when I was growing in to the society and I was able to be more compassionate to others and understand others; enabling me to give them the right support when others needed. And most important, I learned how to appreciate my life even more as well as the people around me. 

I guess it is true that only the ones that falls will feel that pain, and knowing that pain is a strength. 

I really thanked those hard times that I've gone through last time which enabled me to become who I am today. Everything happens for a reason, that it is always the best outcome for us. All we need to do is just to focus on the right angle while looking at all these events. 

In conclusion, in life there's bound to be good and bad events happening. A person growth is not determined by how many happy and peaceful days he/she has mange to live by; but how he/she manage to overcome the hardship in their lives and tuned it into a great lesson to improve in their lifestyle. 

Nothing is fully bad and awful. It is how we choose to view it. 
So choose to look at things in a positive angle and all is well =)

Awareness through out the week =D

It been a long 3 weeks away from work... apparently I am still out stationed but with a privilege of having my laptop with me today.

So I am just gonna do some light blogging and sharing about some of my recent learnings.

Despite working day and night for these few weeks, I still manage take up some time to just run through my social media channels for the sake of catching up what has been going on lately. 

Well recently one major news struck me hard as I browse through my Facebook wall. The death of the 40 year old lead actor of the Fast & Furious franchise, Paul Walker. Certainly it was big shock for me as I am a Fast & Furious hardcore fan. Seeing one of my favour leading actor pass on ironically through a car accident; it just stumbled me so much and had to thinking about past event and moments that I lost some close people around me. 

Again with such news, reminds me again of how life is so unpredictable. But I guess that is the very core truth to our lives that life is always unpredictable,it is just we are so deluded and so ignorant of that true fact because it contains so much uncertain, insecurity and fear behind it. But that is the very truth in life; what we seemed that is so organised and well plan can just be ended by a split second. Just like what happen to Paul Walker's case. 

Along our daily lives, we have been programmed by our brain to function in a way that everything is well planned and organised and we are to execute the similar task daily. But every once in a while when our norm is being disrupted by some outside matter, we would normally tensed up because we lost control of the whole situation. 

But this is all because we are so being controlled by our conditioned function of our brain. Same like any habits, as we repeat more of the things we do in our daily life the more attach we are towards the flow of the process if there is any changes done we would not be able to adapt towards it in an immediate way. We are so numb with our daily activities and we are all doing things through auto pilot mode. 

Life is all about experiencing new things everyday, view things in a new angle, a new perspective. If life is always the same and we live in an auto pilot state, we would be like living zombies in a way. just cruising through our life everyday via the program that is deeply embedded into our brains. But as we see everyday as a new day, a new beginning, a new perspective, things will gradually change and whatever hits us the impact would be lessened. 

It is those who lives out from their comfort zone that progress but not those who stay put at the very same place. Being renewed with a new mind set everyday and the possibilities in life will widen up too. 

Well thats all for today's sharing, there will be more cool stuff coming up as I will have more free time after these few weeks of busy schedule. 

Today is our best day !! 

Cheers~~

One World, One Community, One Vision~~ Green Seed Project

I could still remember that since I was young I always love the nature. The serenity of it, the wonderful and amazing tall trees that stand up so high in the sky. Withstanding even the harshest storms, covering us from the scorching hot sun during day time, and providing us with clean fresh air.

Although I am not the kind of guy that loves gardening that much, because I hated the fact that I would always get stung by mosquito. But I always had the idea of planting more trees and making a greener environment around me.

During my university days, when we were ask to conduct a PR campaign for our final year project, the first thing I could think of is to plant trees all over the areas around my campus. Because it is just too hot without trees around it. However, not much of my classmates supported this idea and hence nothing happen in the end.

Just recently when I was in Kuching, I heard of one of my friends that had the same vision and they had started an awesome project called the Green Seed Project. The project is aim to bring the green environment back to our homes, and also to promote and educate the younger generations to enjoy tree planting. By focusing of Love, Joy and Passion towards planting trees and caring for mother nature.

The moment when I heard of this, I became so excited and wanted to be part of it, but due to my work I wasn't able to fly down and understand more about this project. Until last week, my first hand experience in planting trees. The feeling is just so awesome, as we plant the trees is not just mere planting, but having the vision that someday is few ten years later this tree will grow awesomely tall and big, providing good shelter and shading for people and other animals. As well as making the air cleaner and fresher. Just having these thoughts, I became so overwhelmed by it.

All these was created by just one small vision, and one small step forward, and now there are so many people that is supporting this wonderful, amazing and meaningful cause.

Here is the video clip about the Green Seed Project

Green Seed Project : The Beginning

Green Seed Project : Bring Nature Back to School 

Looking through these 2 videos, gave me a very clear realisation that in life nothing is impossible to achieve. All it takes is just a vision, and a step of courage. One step at a time and you will reach the destination. I am so greatly inspired by the founder and the dedication of the whole team, and I am glad that now I am part of this wonderful and meaningful team to create a greener environment for our future generations. 

One World, One Community, One Vision 
Let's hold hands together and make it a better future =) 

Today is our Best Day ~~
