Rainbow

Rainbow consist of many different colours,

Each colour has its own name,

Every colour has a different meaning,

And every different colour may also give different meaning to different people.

A rainbow usually appears after a rain,

Sometimes it just appears magically.

There are many different people in this world,

Each person has their own identity,

Everyone is special in their own ways,

Therefore, each and every person has their very own perception.

In life most people go through many obstacles and challenges to have a better life.

Whereas, some people just live a good life.

However with the challenges in life it improves a person and builds a person’s self esteem stronger.

Living a good life without experiencing and problems does not help an individual to grow.

Living a good life would be great but having challenges in life makes a person grow in a healthier way.

When there’s challenges in life, face it and you may see yourself happily crossing over the rainbow that brightens your way.   

How to deal with problems?

There can be many things that happen in people’s life. Things that people expect it to happen or for see it to happen. Also things that are unexpected which some people never thought it would happen. But when things happen, how would people deal with it? When you face a problem how would you deal with it? Some people try to hide and run away from their problems. Some people would choose to face the problem. Which are you?

Ever decision made has its pros and cons. Some may benefit and some may not. As for me, I have been through both I’ve tried to run away from some of my problems and also stood up to certain problems that I have faced. Running away from the problem I had wasn’t really a solution. People run away from their problems are mostly because they can’t face the truth that lies beneath. Which end of the day makes the person tired and might even hurt that person. So why not try facing the problem you have?

Whereas, when you solve the problem you have things may turn out to be better. It is also a way that shows that the person is matured enough to understand the problem and face it. However there are also people that tries to solve problem in a manner that makes things worst. I personally have tried many different ways to solve problems that I have faced in life. Some worked and some didn’t work out. At times I would just reflect back on what was my mistake on trying to solve a problem. Then I slowly understand and realise where have I went wrong. No matter what it was, at least I know that I have tried to my best to deal with the problem and next time I would not make the same mistake again in solving a problem.

Well, different people have their own ways in solving ones problem. Not everyone would use the same technique in solving a problem. In actual fact there isn’t a formula in solving problems in life. It is how an individual see the problem and it is their choice in how they solve the problem. Therefore, there are many ways in solving a problem don’t only look on one perspective and jump into conclusion to solve a problem. 

People & Selfishness

What can selfishness do to a person? Why must people be selfish? How selfish can a person be? Being selfish is it even the right thing to do? Does it help you solve things up? Are there really selfish people around?

I believe that God created everyone with an image of their own. Everyone has their very own personality. Each and every individual has their perspective of seeing and reacting to things or situations.

I have heard people telling me that it is right to be selfish. Sometimes you just got to be selfish to get what you want or please your own self. The other day I was telling some friends that I helped one of my friends with her work till late night and I did not manage to get any sleep. Then one them walk up to me and tell me that, you have to be selfish for your own good. You can’t be helping others and sacrifice yourself. After hearing those words I realise there are people that would be selfish to themselves. They are not willing to sacrifice time to help another friend. They do the best for themselves first before thinking of others. I start to think should I be more selfish just to have time for myself. But then I am not that kind of person that would not help a friend that is need of help. 

People say you must always think for yourself first. However, most of the time I put others first before me. In this case I just don’t know how to be selfish with myself. I have also realised that there is a time that I have been a very selfish person. Which is when I’m in a relationship with someone. I have always wanted things to go my way and hoping things would turn out to be great. I have not fully put myself in my partner's shoes. I have tried to understand but then I guess I have not fully put effort into understanding my partner’s stand. Something that I understand and realise after all things had ended between us.

Well, no matter who we are I feel that there are times that we are just simply being selfish at times. It all just depends on the situation and with whom. No one is perfect in this world. We are just normal human living our lives. You can be selfish, but be selfish for the right reasons. 

Interesting Comic

I have never read a comic book in my life before. Never know how it is like or what it is about. Everything there’s a first time in our lives. So I finally picked up a comic book to read.

As I read the comic book about Doraemon I find it pretty interesting. It’s pure funny and silly it just made me laugh when I read it. Reading a comic it gives you a clearer picture of the story. I never thought reading a comic could be so much fun. I give me a feeling wanting to read more after reading a book.

Reading the comic book I also gain some knowledge and ideas on how I can design my assignment. Before this I was clues how a comic book looks like and also have no idea how should I design a comic book. After reading a comic book it gives me ideas how can I design a comic book for my assignment.

I feel that although what’s in the comic book might not be logical but the whole purpose is as an entertainment to people. It also gives people a good laugh and may help increase people’s creativity. There are also moral values in the comic if people actually realise reading it. Reading the comic book has given me inspiration to come up with my own comic book and also made me realise what I’ve been missing out all these while. Reading a Doraemon comic book might just help cheer up your day. It'so good to have some laughter in a stressful serious life. 

Artworks

In this world there are many artists that have made many pieces of artwork. Much effort and hard work are put into a piece of art. People that come out with all these incredible artworks are simply talented people. In my opinion these people have a lot of creativity and imagination in forming the pieces of art. 

Some people when they see the pieces of artwork they might not see anything out of it. It may just be a piece of art to them or maybe they don’t even understand or see what is the art really about. For some others that understand art and appreciate artwork each and every piece of art might mean something to them. They might even get inspired by the artwork.

There is a piece of art that captured my eyes. When I looked at the piece of art it gave a very calm happy feeling. It felt like for a moment all the stress in me, left. It cleared out my brain and gave it a fresh feeling. The longer I stare into the piece of art I felt like my whole self is in it. I can even picture myself sitting and lying around on the grass looking at the beautiful scenery around relaxing my mind. It feels like heaven being in the picture. I can do things that I enjoy like listening to music and dancing and singing freely around the place. It would be such a pleasure to get to explore the place doing great thing and always feeling stress free. Many happy memories ran through my mind as ponder upon the art. It even put a smile on my face as I looked at it.

When you see a piece of artwork, what and how would you feel about it? I feel that every piece of art there’s a meaning to it and also a story behind it. Different people may have a different interpretation of it. Each and every piece of art may touch different people in a different way. People may even feel that they can relate to the artwork or maybe the piece of art is speaking to them. Well, I certainly have seen one piece of art that has enlightened me in different ways. So do you think you have seen a piece of artwork that has open your eyes into it?

NO Bully

The story I read in a children's story book was about an elephant that bullies the other smaller animals. One day the other animals came together and gave the elephant a lesson.

Usually in real life people that has more power would bully the weak. Those with power thinks that they are better than the others and always right. Which is why they always tend to bully those who they think are weaker than them.

When you always look down on others and bully others, in a way your friends would just run away from you. They might not want to get into trouble with you. That’s because your friends are afraid of you for not knowing how will you be treating them. People will stand a way, they are afraid to be friends with the person that bullies them.

If a person holds on to the attitude of bullying people all the time, he or she might not have any true friends around them anymore. You have to stand on your own when you no longer have friends around you. When you need help, no one might want to reach out their hand to help you due to the things you have done to them. People have built a wall between you with them. It’s hard for you to gain others respect when a you have put a bad reputation in the  image others.

Imagine if someone bullies you. How would you feel? Would you like it? Therefore, people should avoid bullying others and enables to earn more respect from others. Appreciate the people around you, do not bully them. 

Mr. Right?

Almost every girls dream is to find the perfect partner. Most of the girls want to be with their dream guy. It is like girls have a list when they choose their partner. Most probably you would go for the one that best matches your list. But have you thought of the question, is that really the perfect dream guy that you really want to be with the rest of your life.

 When a girl is looking for her dream guy what are usually the criteria? Most probably he should be good looking, loving, caring, rich and etc. Girls would always hope for the perfect guy to come, the one that they have always been wanting in their list. Those that are really fortunate may get the dream guy that they have been hoping for. But not all girls get what they want.

In the growing up journey, you might slowly start to realise who is the perfect person for you. It doesn’t have to match all the criteria that you’ve listed. Someday when you start thinking back of the list that you’ve made you might even laugh at it or you might realise the opportunity that you may have in the past. If you’ve still been waiting for that perfect guy on your list you might not even find him.

Sometimes in life we have to think more openly, don’t only see things in one perceptive. If you only stay in the one same direction it might not lead you far. Open up yourself and start seeing things in a different perspective. The perfect guy that you want doesn’t have to be the one that you’ve always dreamt of. He might not be the dream guy you always wanted but he might bring something better in your life.

As I grow older and understand things better each day I realise that the criteria of my perfect dream guy doesn’t have to fulfill everything in the list. What’s important is that the person accepts you for who you are and loves you endlessly no matter what happens. If that person really loves you for you, don’t let him go. Appreciate what you can have with him and do not complain about the things that you can’t have from him. 

MISS

Today I was listening to a song called I Miss You by Miley Cyrus. When I was listening  to the song many things start running through my mind. There are just some things that I miss very much in my life.

Sometimes, somehow or rather there are things or people that you miss in your life.  It can be a wide range of things that a person misses. It does not have to be particularly on a certain subject. The feeling of missing is something very normal. Whenever you reflect back to the past there are things that would come to your mind and might give you the feeling that you’ve missed it.

Humans when they lost someone close to them or have been a big impact in their lives naturally they would miss them when they are no longer around. Sometimes the things that you would miss could be something that’s been very precious to you, like your pet or your favourite toy.  It can also be memories or things that you’ve done a long time ago.

When you have not seen a close friend for a long time, you would miss that person, the things you do together and also the time you spend together. Same goes if you’re away from your family one way or another you would be thinking of them because you miss being with them.

In my opinion pets also have the know what is the feeling of missing something. When an animal is being separated with their family and being brought to another home, they would not be happy because I feel that they miss being with its family. When the owner of the pet has gone on a holiday for a few days the pet would turn moody. The moment the owner returns it will leap with joy.

In everyone lives, I believe there’s something very special that they misses. Even a baby would miss his or her mom or dad. Give yourself a moment and reflect back what are the things that you miss most. 

FRIENDS

Friends?

What are friends for?

Who are your friends?

Are they really your friends?

Are they your best friends?

You can have many friends all around the world. But do you know or have you thought of who are the ones that are your best friends? There are many types of friends around us.

• Sincere friends are the friends that’s really close to you like your real buddy.
• Listening friends are the ones that always listens to you.
• Colleague friends are friends you meet at work or study environment.
• Protecting friends are the ones who always try to protect you in every way.
• Old friends are the ones that remember you forever.
• New friends give you more opportunity to explore that person.
• Wise friends know when it’s the right time to do the right thing.
• Advising friends that give you advice whenever you need it.
• Learned friends are the one that studies with you for exams.
• Acquaintance friends are the ones that you just greet when you meet them.
• Online friends are the ones you get to know them through the internet.
• Transportation friends are the friends that give you rides.
• Partner friends are friends that would accompany you in whatever you do.
• Occasional friends are the friends you meet only occasionally when they need you to be around them.
• Interest-Seeking friends are the ones that come to you when they need some things.
• Optimistic friends are your friends that have solutions for you on everything.
• Sibling friends are friends that treat you more like a brother or sister.
• Significant Other friends are the ones you love and share your life with.
• True friends are the ones where you can speak freely with them.
• Best friends are the ones that close to you,  you can be yourself around them and tell them anything.

There are many more other friends. This depends how you categorize them. There are friends that are there for you just in a short period of time. They need you they will come to you. Some people may not be like to have friends that only find them when they need them. But then you should be glad that your friend remembers you when they need you. This shows that somehow deep within them there’s a place where you stand. Some people are just more comfortable being and saying certain things with certain friends. There must be a reason for every action a friend does.

Some friends no matter how distance you are with them, they still somehow stay connected and close with you. These are the friends you might rarely see. Friends like this are the ones you can share everything with them, very comfortable being with them, the one that you can trust and rely on, doing almost everything together, listens to you and gives you advice. They are the one that will be there for you no matter what happens. It is great to have such friends that you can keep your friendship forever.

I believe everyone has more than a friend. Each and every one of their friends plays a different role in their lives. Most of the time people remember who their friends are. They don’t just forget them.  Friends are around to help us, share things with us and care for us. We should be greatful to have friends by our side. It’s just awesome to have them around. They somehow make your day and allow you to explore in seeing more things and to learn new things and also shape you to be a better person.

Slowly in life I’ve realized the types of friends that I have around me. It takes time to see a person’s true colours. When you get to know them better then you’ll know what kind of friends are they to you. Take time to look around you and see what kind of friends you have in your life. You may be surprised. 

BEAUTY

How would most people define Beauty of a girl?

Pretty looks, Hot, Sexy, Tall, Slim, Big boobs, Big ass, S-shape body, Mesmerizing eyes, Charming smile, Sexy lips, etc…

There are many ways for people to define a person’s beauty. Most of the girls nowadays like comparing themselves with other pretty girls. Many girls try their best to look their best comparing with other girls that they think that they are very pretty. However, most of the girls are not satisfied with their own physical appearance. They usually look down on themselves thinking that others are prettier than them. Girls always compliment other pretty girls and do not have enough confidence on their own looks.

A person’s confidence is really important. It plays a big role. If a person does not have confidence in their own looks how would you aspect others to see you the way you want them to. A girl should always have confidence in themselves. Do not look down or underestimate yourself. It’s the way how you present yourself that people judge you. If you have no confidence people might not even look up to you. That’s why if you want to outstand others you must have the confidence in your own beauty. You are beautiful for who you are. Be yourself. Don’t try to be someone that you’re not.

Nonetheless, I strongly believe that a person’s beauty lies within them. The inner beauty is the one that would last forever. The beauty of girls’ appearance would not last forever. It’s like flowers. The beauty of a flower could only last a few days, it wouldn’t last long. Girls should show the inner beauty in them. The inner beauty that shines out would give others a long lasting impression on you. Although one day when you grow old and people may not see the pretty looks anymore but always remember people are able to see the beauty in you. Somehow, the inner beauty will help develop your outer beauty. That’s how a girl is beautiful from the inside and out.  

Always be who you are and have confidence in yourself. Girls have to believe in themselves and the beauty that lies deep within them. Every girl has their own beauty. Each and every girl are beautiful in their own special ways. 

No Smoking

What would your first thought be when you see this sign? 

No smoking at that area?
You are not allowed to smoke?
You should not be smoking?
You are not advised to smoke?
Everyone has a different perspective looking at this sign.

However, most people should know that no smoking is allowed in that certain area when they see the sign. But then, how would people respond especially smokers when they see the sign? Some of them would walk away and smoke elsewhere but some could not even be bothered about the sign. The no smoking signs can also be found hanging on some patients’ hospital beds. Some of them are really ill yet they are still stubborn wanting to smoke outside the hospital lobby. Smokers should not just ignore the sign. There must be a solid reason for the nurses to hang the no smoking sign on your hospital bed.  Most of the time is for the better for your health.

I wonder whether do smokers know the consequences of smoking. I guess they know but most of them don't care. The excuse people usually give is smoking helps to release stress. But the question is, does smoking really helps a person to release stress? It’s most likely a psychological factor that plays in a person’s mind. In my personal opinion I feel that there are many other ways for a person to release their stress level. Doesn’t necessarily have to be smoking.  

Besides, you may live a healthier life without smoking. Also the people around you would live a healthy life. Think of your health and also the health of others. Some people may think it’s okay that you smoke because you’re far away from others but then after you smoke the smell of the cigarette is still around you.  People that can’t take the smell of smoke would have a hard time breathing and this may also affect others’ health. Therefore, to all smokers, be more considerate. Cherish your own health and also the health of others.

Doubts? Belief!

Recently I’ve watched a short video. It’s a video to motivate people. From the video something just inspired me and I feel that this video is talking to me in some sort of way.

Most of the people in the world have big dreams and great thoughts but only a handful of people that actually have the courage to fulfill their dreams and creative thoughts. Those with huge courage are able to achieve great success in life. While many others usually have doubts in the ideas and dreams they have. The courage to pursue that dream of theirs were not strong enough. Because of the tiny courage in a person which enables doubts to take control of a person's mind.

I feel that people should have confidence in the things they do. For example if a team of people discussing for a project, every member should voice out their opinions. No matter what the idea is, it is a great start by sharing your opinion and others might agree with the idea you gave. You would never know how would things go if you never give in courage to speak up. A person would not be successful if he or she never has the courage to do something or voice out their own opinions. Although sometimes you may have doubts in the things you want to do or say but never let doubt be your weakness because it brings you nowhere.

Moreover, I strongly belief that a person should always believe in themselves in the things they do. If you do not believe in your own strength in doing the things you do, you would not succeed at the end of the day. It is very important to believe in yourself and the things you do. With strong belief, it will lead you to a brighter future.

The Farm

Last weekend my friends and I went for a retreat at a place called The Farm. The place does pretty much look like a farm because of its ambient and animals around. For those who love natures would have enjoyed the environment around. For a city girl like me, I wasn’t really comfortable with the environment. The moment I reached the place and saw everything around me, the thing that came to my mind was I wished I was at home.

Since I was already there I had no choice but to spend my time there for the next two days. Throughout the retreat, there were many thoughts that were running through my mind. Things that I was imagining that might happen. This was because from the first moment I stepped into the place I didn’t like it.

When we're having outdoor activities in an open area covered with grass all my mind kept thinking what if a giant python comes out chasing after us and start killing and eating us because it's hungry. Around the area there were bees and many other insects I can’t help but to think what would happen if some genetically modified bees or insects actually sting us or bite us. We might die or maybe turn into some sort of a human creature. As we were relaxing near the pond, one of my friends said I think I see something that looks like a big iguana and I said maybe it’s a baby crocodile. Then my mind starts to wonder if there’s a baby crocodile in the pond, there might be a bigger crocodile in the pond as well. It’s going to be bad if the crocodile jumps up from the pond and attack us while we were relaxing. Somehow all these thoughts that occur in me just didn’t allow me to explore much of the place. I spent most of my time sitting around the banglo.

Moreover, for the past two nights since I’ve been there, I could not get any sleep. When night comes, all the lights were off except for the washroom lights and porch light. The place was dark and spooky to me. It was freezing cold and the sound of nature just kept me awake. Furthermore, there were not enough rooms to fit all of us so some of my friends and I had to sleep in the living area facing the porch which is not gated. With all the noises and a cat walking up and down just disturbs me. Looking out to the porch makes me think what if a robber suddenly comes up to us trying to rob us or maybe someone kidnapping me away. I even thought what if zombies were true, what might happen if there were zombies coming to us from the nearby grave when we’re sleeping. I just did not have a piece of mind for myself to go to bed. All I could wish for at that moment is to go home to my own room with four walls and my own comfy bed to sleep.

However, I did enjoy having a good time with my friends. I don’t mind going on another retreat with them. If I had a choice I would not want to go back to The Farm or somewhere similar to it for another retreat. I hope that the next trip would be a better place with lots of fun and hopefully I could really enjoy myself to the fullest.

Fun with Friends

Retreat at The Farm, Lenggeng

A few days ago I went on a trip with some friends. All of us are of different ages. Some are parents, children, siblings, couples and friends. But then when we all come together, it is like we are all from the same age. Age doesn’t matter at all. Everyone was opened up to each other. Parents, children, siblings were all having fun together like a big group of friends. It is great to have friends around. When we have friends around there's always lots of fun.

Going on a trip with a big group of friends always brings us closer together and also get to know each other a little bit more here and there. When we go for a trip together, we do most of the things together. Things that we don’t usually get to do in our daily lives. With such a big group of friends we get to do things together like cooking, cleaning the dishes, having meals, campfire, cleaning the house, bedtime side by side, relaxing by the pond, playing games, singing in a big group and also sharing thoughts and experiences. It just feels so great, when you have friends that you can experience so many things with and being so open to each other. All of us were a whole being together. When we’re playing games we work as a team helping each other. When there’s a sharing we listen to each other and share thoughts. It was just amazing how the younger ones and the older ones communicate with each other. Each and everyone seems to be so comfortable with each other.

Everyone was so happy together throughout the trip. Everyone of us enjoyed ourselves. It has been just amazing how we spent our weekend together. The trip brought our friendship closer. On our last day of the trip we felt that we just didn’t have enough fun with each other. Suddenly it feels like the trip has been just too short for us. Time passes by so fast that we didn’t even realize it’s time to pack up and head home. Well I guess that’s why people say time flies when you’re having fun especially with your friends. 

A New Start

Today will be the day where it all begins. I finally decided to sit down and start writing a blog. This is something new for me. I have never done this before. But well I guess everyone has their first time trying something new in their life. 

I have always wanted to start writing a blog of my own. Some of my friends have their own blogs and have encouraged me to have one as well. I have read some of their blog entries and i think to myself maybe I should start up one as well to write about things that I have been experiencing. Something like a journal or maybe a diary that I can share with others. However, most of the time I tell myself that I don't have the time to actually sit down and blog. There are many more things that I have to do and there's not much things for me to blog about. Well, actually those are just excuses. Recently I've been given an assignment that requires me to write blogs which is why I no longer have any excuses to not start up a blog and start blogging. So today is the day where I finally start blogging. 

A new start for a new semester 

I'm a student in a University doing my Degree. So far I'm a first year student in my third semester. I've just started my new semester less than a week. It's a new semester and also at the same time my last semester to complete my first year in university. For this semester, the first day of class itself my classmates and I were given assignments to be done and submitted the following week. This is something out of what we have gone through the past semesters. Most of us never expected that our first day of classes would begin like that. I guess that's why people say we should always expect for the unexpected. 

In the start of this semester there are quite a few things that were unexpected. A few days before our new semester begins, our previous semester final exam results were  revealed to us. Surprisingly, there were quite a number of students from my course failed certain subjects. Students who failed were unhappy with their results.  Most of them were the people that I never expected them to fail. I guess sometimes things are just how it is. There's nothing much that we can do about it. We should accept the fact how it is. 

There are things that may pull ourselves apart in life. However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind which is Never Give Up Hope in the things you do. Failure is not just only failure. Failure is also a guide for us to come back stronger not to be weaker. It's a new semester and we should all work harder for success. We should begin putting in more effort and work harder on our studies and assignments we do day by day. At the end of the semester all the effort and hard work would be paid off. This is just the start of the semester. It is not too late to turn over a new leaf. With effort and hard work it may lead you to success.
