I want to wish VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR, one that is full of every blessing that the Universe can bestow upon you, and all for your Highest Good.

I recognize that the world is in turmoil, and some of you may be feeling helpless and overwhelmed by it all. Perhaps 2010 will be just as challenging as 2009 turned out to be...if we do nothing. me myself, plan to be positive and concrete about changing the energy in me...i want to be more positive about the way things end up...and be a new me..

At this time of year, many of us are thinking about making New Year's Resolutions to change things that haven't been working for us for in a long while. I Have made a list of the ways in which I’d like to change myself...

For my Body

# 1. Reduce my caffeine intake : There’s nothing like saying “You can’t” to make me crave things more. But yesterday wasn’t so bad—decaf green tea (which does have a little caffeine) and a little bit of chocolate (hurmm...putting more fat on my body duh...)

I’m headachy and sleepy around the edges, but I think that’s the cold that’s brewing.

Today, I only had one cup of coffee. Usually I have about four or five lol :-p

 

# 2. Reducing sugar.... in ....my tea &coffee from half a tea-spoon to zero (well, you cant imagine the taste of  sugarless coffee!)

#3. Substituting my mid-morning snack with a piece of fruit, rather than a snack bar..bye2 kerupuk!

#4.Not eating between meals -other than my 'authorised' mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks)

#5. drink plenty of water!! - in progress!

#6. Limiting my portion size when I eat (from gunung kinabalu to gunung emas :-p)

#7. Eating healthy foods (fruits, lean meats, whole grains) and cutting refined sugars (soft drinks)

#8. Running at least 3 times a week with at least one workout at night

#9. Cross training at least 2 days a week with stretching, yoga, or cycling.

uuuww... cycling @sunset would be very much fun!

For "Them"

#1. Be a forgiver

#2. Be a good daughter

#3. Be a good sister

#4. Be a good fiance (i'm not saying i'm not good at being a fiance! i am damn good at it... hehe)

#5. Be a good friend

#6. Be a good worker ... yes, wake up @ 5.30 and reach office before 8! ;-)

#7. Be a good student...  my supervisor lent me his articles and i have to finish reading it.. fast fast!!! (sorry for being soooo 'lambat' Dr.. huhu)

#8. Be a good listener .. FYI, i am not a very good listener..sorry kalau selama ni ada yang terasa..:-(

For this Country

#1. Vote (because i never vote...huhu)

#2. Be a good citizen (as ever)

sorry Najib! but well thats all i can offer for now...maybe after this saya akan berusaha untuk menyumbang kepada dasar 20juta penduduk :-))  :-p

For Me Myself & I

#1. Bully my hairdressser into a style I like

#2. Travel someplace where its snowing

#3. Win something. Anything!

#4. Learn some guitar

#5. buy new lense for my DSLR

#6. learn more technique on photography

 flower .! what do you think? ada peluang kah kawan?

i consider ME MYSELF as simply synonym for coffee cup + bokeh photography..hehe..

#7. get a facial / body massage (never had one...hmmm..)

I wonder what would I look like if i had one? 

.........................................

Like this??

(sila jangan ketawa kerana ini cuma kes angan2 Mak Joyah)

and

last but not least..

********* Do things instead of making lists *********

I know there are loads of numbers missing and a little  too ambitious (too much ) I think but Maybe I’ll fill them in as I tick things off.

By the time I actually  (Hopefully) do all of this stuff I ought to be pretty sorted.

 

Happy New Year!!

 

~cheers~

Selepas 2 hari bercuti sempena Krismas + sabtu +ahad = 4 hari kesemuanya, saya telah merungut kerana kurang tidur , penat dan terlalu banyak tekanan dalam hidup.. saya jadi malu sendiri dgn perasaan jujur yang lahir dari hati yang suci bersih (heheheheh) kerana ternyata kerja saya di opis bukanla banyak sgt hujung2 tahun ni.... setelah menelaah beberapa teks rujukan dan berfikir panjang, akhirnya saya jumpa sebab kenapa ianya berlaku :

(formula keletihan berganda)

keletihan kerana terlebih kerja... tau kenapa?

Di bawah ini saya akan tunjukkan kenapa saya mempunyai beban kerja yang lebih dan ianya adalah benar dan bukan rekaan semata-mata ya..:

Populasi penduduk Malaysia sekarang adalah 23 juta orang (anggaran shj).

1.7 juta darinya sudah bersara.

Jadi tinggal 21.3 juta orang.

1.3 juta pula adalah golongan kanak² bawah 6 tahun.

Jadi tinggal 20 juta orang.

Dari 20 juta ini, 7 juta masih belajar (tadika, sekolah, kolej,

universiti dll).

Jadi tinggal 13 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Dari 13 juta ini, 5 juta orang adalah pekerja kerajaan yang 'pergi kerja tapi tak buat kerja'.

Jadi tinggal 8 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Tolak 3 juta orang yang duduk dalam hutan (tentera darat) pasal

diorang nie nak kerja macam mana... tinggal dalam hutan.

sudah tinggal 5 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja....

Dari jumlah itu, tolak 2.7 juta orang yang menganggur dan tidak kerja, suri rumah, orang² tua, fresh universiti student, kena buang kerja dll.

Tinggallah 2.3 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Dari jumlah ini, sebanyak 1,215,512 orang dilaporkan sakit dan kini

berada di dalam hospital di seluruh Malaysia (tak kiralah hospital swasta ke atau hospital kerajaan dan ini termasuklah hospital gila).

sudah tinggal 1,084,488 orang yang boleh buat kerja....

Sekarang ini mengikut bancian terkini, terdapat 1,084,486 orang di dalam penjara dan Pusat Serenti di seluruh negara.

Jadi sudah tinggal 2 orang yang boleh buat kerja...

Dan 2 orang itu adalah kamo dan saya....

Dari 2 orang ini...

kamo SEKARANG INI masih duduk depan komputer, bukak blog, berfacebook, main internet, main games, reading jokes, membaca email, main chat dan tidak buat kerja langsung... jadi tinggallah saya sorang yang buat kerja dalam Malaysia nie...

Mana saya X letih!!

Jadi sedarlah skit kamo....

HAHA

P/S : Semua statistik di atas boleh dirujuk kesahihannya di Pusat²

Bancian, Kementerian Kesihatan, Kementerian Pertahanan, Jabatan Tenaga Raya, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat.

sekian dan terima kasih

The year 2009 is now coming to a close, and it's time to take a look back over the past 12 months through photographs.
