Let’s work it up for a more PRODUCTIVE Year 2014!! Action…Action…Action….

Life is about a healthy balance, if we have lost the balance, sure we will feel the burden. The weightage has become much heavier on one side and lighter on the other side.  It has lost the balance previously and now it’s the time to regain the balance of life.

Update on 28.03.2014

I am still struggling on the unbalance weightage……I need a solid willpower and sheer determination to achieve the above.  I need positive support group and I must shift my mindset to the correct one….no more negative energies, no more excuses….JUST DO IT!  Do not waste time anymore…Time don’t wait for you, once gone, forever gone.  Don’t be LAZY anymore…BUCK UP or LOSE UP….Gambate JOLENE!!!

2013 In Review

2013 is coming to an end soon.  It is just another few days to go before we greet 2014.  Phew! Time literally just flew away especially year-end. I guess that in my industry, there are more workloads during year-end. 

How can I summarized my 2013 in a short, brief & precisely?

        Change job from sales & marketing to admin based
Underwent my first major surgery in my life

      Become more introverted now – anti-social in a way, prefer being alone and focus     on reflecting my past – what had I done correctly or what can I do better? I think this year and next year will be on my soul-searching and reflections year.

      Health has taken a toll on me and I must change my lifestyle – diet, exercises, sleep pattern etc to boosts up my health to normal level.

Well I guess that’s about it. Don’t need to bullshit too much. Short & precise will do. 

2014? What’s in it for me?

My goal for year 2014 is have a healthy life, mind, body and soul  and to be surrounded by abundance of money and prosperity, happiness and love and the people that I love and also love me.  And to keep on building and accumulating my wealth and travel, travel and travel.

Gambate. Let’s work hard and smart to achieve it.

Happy New Year 2014 and may all our wish and goal really came through.

Flying high with tandem paramotor

This was supposed posted up last year....but it was also kept in the drafts till this year....

What is it?  It's my first time flying up in the air with this tandem paramotor.

Bought this voucher from Groupon Malaysia....if I'm not mistaken, it's about RM75.  However this is just a preview as there'll be an instructor behind you to guide & control the vehicle and it's a mere 15 - 2mins up to the sky.

Can't  recall exactly where this activities took place - but it was an empty land near Port Klang - probably is somewhere near Pulau Indah.

We reached there early in the morning & waited about 3-4 hrs before our turn & it's quite windy.  According to the operator, it's not advisable to fly during strong wind.

And to my surprise I feel so dizzy flying up & feel like throwing up.  Probably I ate too much or I swallowed too much air..

Hahahh....But it was a good experience for me.....

Surprisingly, you'll see lots of people take this up as a hobby.  They bought all the equipment which can easily costs more than RM10K & fly when they are free.  Mostly are professionals.  

Me up on the sky

The land below

The sea...i see green & blue

Beautiful clouds formation

The team

It's me flying up to the sky

Taking off

I'm so free like a bird flying in the blue sky...LOVING IT!

This blog sits on my draft for almost a year ......hahah....just post some CNY related photos for 2012.  Counting down to a great year 2013.  Last month of 2012...how time flies.....2012 passes so fast & I hope all my goals & dreams can be achieved before the year close it's chapter.  Let's cheer for a great 2012 & greater year 2013 waiting for us.

Welcoming the water dragon year

I'm back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year celebrations.  Later will be going out for reunion dinner with my extended family, this is the second year we have so many relatives together for the reunion dinner. When I was very young, I remember going back to my grandma's house for the reunion dinner.  Many many years later, we have our own reunion dinner at my own house with just my parents & my sisters - this has been on-going for many many years till last year when we started to have extended family dinner again.  Look at how's things has changed over the years.  I'm looking forward for a grand reunion dinner again.  And I want to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai & Happy New Year!!!! HUAT AHHH......


Traffic from the city centre back to my hometown is extremely heavy.....looks like everyone is making the exodus out from the city centre to their respective hometown.  It's worth all the effort coz Chinese New Year is about togetherness & family warmth.  So I hope everyone have a great celebrations.

Happy NewYear 2012， 新年快乐2012

迟了一星期，可是还是要祝福大家。。。。新年快乐。。。。

Happy New Year 2012.....It's been a long long time since I last blog about anything.....Been busy, tired, lazy & not in the mood of blogging recently....

Anyway, will start to blog again....

Recently, my boss asked me a question......what do you feel grateful in 2011?

My answer is I'm grateful because I still have a healthy body....There was some health symptoms & alert that make me realised that health is important & this makes me change my diet & lifestyle....THANK YOU FOR THAT!  And I'm grateful that all my family members also still healthy......WELL, I think.....we should be grateful that we are still living everyday.  Let's live our fullest life!  

This is taken in Chinatown Singapore.....Yes I was there during Christmas.  So happy to visit Singapore again after a 10 long years!!!

Beijing Again!!! Well not confirmed yet

Last year my boss said that if we hit target this year, will organise a company trip to Beijing.  However, this year he said the trip to be postponed to next year.   Actually I'm not so keen to go Beijing because I've been there in year 2005, I prefer if the trip is to somewhere I've never been before.  But now, I doubt if he will honour his words coz he keeps on changing his mind etc....Anyway, I don't care...coz I think if the trip is on, it's a bonus to me.


Well, let me share some of my Beijing photos back in 2005.  I remember the first day we touched down, the temperature soared up to 40 degrees, the highest in 40 years.  It was in June 2005 & i bought this package during MATTA FAIR.  At that time, I worked in a travel agency.  The package is quite cheap only costs each of us RM1500++, that's why I grabbed it & I went with 1 of my sister.  She still studying in Uni at that time.  Since this is a group tour, we have another maybe 15 travel companions.  Our group is really fun group.  I remember in our group - we have 1 Indian couple, 1 mother & daughter pair, 1 uncle & auntie pair, 2 young Chinese couple, 1 family which consists of parents & daughter & son-in-law.  Even though we do not know each other but we having fun travelling together.


Buying a cheap package comes with some consequences - haha....it's means shopping shopping & shopping...The tour guide & tour leader will bring you to many places to buy, buy & buy as they earned commission by bringing tourists to buy products from the shop.  Everyday they bring us to different shops - I remember the first stop is Chinese Tea & I've bought some expensive tea which till now still haven't finished drinking.  They also brought us to jade shop, pearl shop, Chinese medicine shop - Bao Fu Ling (the famous one) & another shop (which I don't know the name) but I remember it's situated inside the Confucious Temple.  And also silk & some Chinese deco(don't know what it's called in English) but in Chinese is called as 京泰蓝(don't know my translation in Chinese is correct or not) but it sounds like this.  It's a good experience for me - I remind myself not to buy so much on my next holidays coz it's just wasting $$$$$....


Anyway, here's some of the photos I took:

At Tiananmen Square....our flight is midnight flight, reached Beijing Airport early in the morning & we straightaway come to Tiananmen Square....many people & tour groups.
There's a countdown to 2008 Olympic board then......

Watching Acrobatic show at night.

This must be Summer Palace...can't remember exactly.

Spend more than RM300 buying tea in this outlet - unfinished 

At a Chinese Medicine Shop, I don't understand why we are doing this?

Temple Of Heaven......Such a big & huge area

Ahem....Great Wall Of China....we've got the certificates

Beijing Underground City - very impressed with this features - used to be secret but now already open for visitor.

The Shaolin Kungfu Show ......Interesting show

At Chengde Potala Palace....If I still can remember correctly...

Costume for rental....cheap cheap - we are transformed to Princesses in olden times haha...I love this!

My tour leader & tour guide...

I remember I wrote Halo September not too long ago....now already it's October....Phew...Time Flies.....Well, Q3 is not exactly a good period for me as too many incidents happened.  I injured myself while doing yoga, I slipped again, I didn't hit my sales target & sales dropped a lot.  My health got worse, hormone imbalanced, stress level up, feel very down & demotivated.......OMG!!!How can this happened to me.  For people who do not know me really well, they thought I'm always a HAPPY GO LUCKY person....But IN ACTUAL FACT....I"M NOT!!!  I hope the past will be the past & will always look for better FUTURE.....Let's GO ALL OUT for the LAST QUARTER of 2011 & achieve our goals....your goals & my goals as well!!

The fact is.....

The fact is:


1. I'm overweight...i think nearing to obese


2. Age is really catching up - not young anymore


3. I'm not the top 5% of the wealthy people in the world


4. I'm short


5. I'm not the most brilliant & intelligent


6. I'm lazy


7. I feel sucks now


8. I kinda lost interest in most areas of my life


9. I'm not that healthy anymore


10. I just wana go somewhere where nobody knows me.....


What else?


Good thing is all this can be improved with hardwork, discipline, perserverance, confidence, can do attitude. positive mind & outlook & what else?


Please give some tips for me.....

Beautiful sunset & sunrise @ BALI

Recently, just came back from BALI & absolutely LOVING IT....Bali is a very big island in Indonesia. It's quite near to Australia.  The uniqueness about Bali is that most of the populations there are Hindus not Muslims.  FYI, Indonesia is the most populous Muslim nation.  I found that the people there is warm & friendly & there're many beautiful & interesting places to visit.  And many cultural related activities all day long.  Still there are many tourist there even after the bombing incidents which happened some years ago.  In comparison with Phuket, Phuket is infested with more nightlife & prostitution whereas Bali is more for family holidays & honeymoon couples.  


The best thing I found out in Bali is there are many good spots to watch sunset & sunrise. The first day we arrived, we got the chance to watch a beautiful SUNSET in Kuta.  2 days later, we were heading to Lovina area to watch dolphins, kinda missed the SUNSET coz we reached there about 6plus in the evening. But we were compensated with a great SUNRISE the day after when we went out to hunt dolphin (actually is to see dolphins but with so many boats around hunting the dolphins, I guess the dolphins must be too scared to come out but yet we managed to see a few times)  BONUS BONUS!!  Thereafter, we went watch SUNSET in Tanah Lot but unfortunately it is too crowded & cloudy.  TANAH LOT is a MUST VISIT place in BALI - I think the MOST POPULAR TOURIST SPOT in BALI.  The next day, we went to ULUWATU as suggested by the driver, it's a better spot than TANAH LOT to watch beautiful SUNSET!  Indeed it was....But to go there, we have to becareful of all the monkeys around there as they will snatch your belongings like camera, spectacles, earrings & all dangling things.  I was a victim too - the monkeys just jumped towards me & snatched my keychain.  I was so shocked that I just stunned there.  Luckily I kept my camera & other things safely in my bag.  I even took off my spectacles & keep it inside my bag - in case the naughty monkeys decided to snatched it away from me.  I was told these monkeys were being trained to snatch away people's thing & in order to claim back your stuff, you need to pay a certain amount to the caretaker.  HHmmmm...very bad of them doing this.


All in - we spend 6 days in BALI & we later flew to BANDUNG before heading back to KL.  I would say BALI is a great place for holidays if you like the SEA, SUN, BEACHES, TEMPLES, CULTURAL & nit forgetting their SPA. 



First Day @ KUTA Beach:
