How to live life?

Educate yourself until the day you die. – The time and energy you invest in your education will change your life. You are a product of what you know. The more knowledge you acquire, the more control you have over your life. check!
Take good care of your body. – Your body is the greatest tool you’ll ever own. It impacts every step you take and every move you make. Nourish it, exercise it, and rest it. oops, gotta work on this more
Spend as much time as possible with the people you love. – Human beings are emotional creatures. Family and close friends makeup the core of your emotional support system. The more you nurture them, the more they will nurture you. check!
Be a part of something you believe in. – This could be anything. Some people take an active role in their local city council, some find refuge in religious faith, some join social clubs supporting causes they believe in, and others find passion in their careers. In each case the psychological outcome is the same. They engage themselves in something they strongly believe in. This engagement brings happiness and meaning into their lives. check!
Excel at what you do. – There’s no point in doing something if you aren’t going to do it right. Excel at your work and excel at your hobbies. Develop a reputation for yourself, a reputation for consistent excellence. check!
Live below your means. – Live a comfortable life, not a wasteful one. Do not spend to impress others. Do not live life trying to fool yourself into thinking wealth is measured in material objects. Manage your money wisely so your money does not manage you. Always live well below your means. check! super duper check!!
Be self-sufficient. – Freedom is the greatest gift. Self-sufficiency is the greatest freedom. check!
Build a comfortable, loving household. – Home is where the heart is. Your home should be comfortable and lined with love. It should be a place that brings the whole family together. check! it’s been great for the past few months
Always be honest with yourself and others. – Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. check!
Respect elders. Respect minors. Respect everyone. – There are no boundaries or classes that define a group of people that deserve to be respected. Treat everyone with the same level of respect you would give to your grandfather and the same level of patience you would have with your baby brother. check!
Mix it up. Try different things. – Seek as many new life experiences as possible and be sure to share them with the people you love. After all, your life’s story is simply a string of experiences. The more experiences you have, the more interesting your story gets. getting there
Take full ownership of your actions. – Either you own up to your actions or your actions will ultimately own you. hehehe okie gotta work this one out in some areas
Over-deliver on all your promises. – Some people habitually make promises they are just barely able to fulfill. They promise perfection and deliver mediocrity. If you want to boost your personal value, do the exact opposite. Slightly under-sell your capabilities so that you’re always able to over-deliver. It will seem to others like you’re habitually going above and beyond the call of duty. hmmmm. gotta think about this more
Listen more. Talk less. – The more you listen and the less you talk, the more you will learn and the less you will miss. check! a principle i always carry with me since high school kot? talk when necessary
Focus more on less. – Think in terms of Karate: A black belt seems far more impressive than a brown belt. But does a brown belt really seem any more impressive than a red belt? Probably not to most people. Remember that society elevates experts high onto a pedestal. Hard work matters, but not if it’s scattered in diverse directions. Focus on less and master it all. back then i wanted to be a jack of all trade..then i realized hey i didnt want to be master of none, so from then on, i learnt that i shud have some focus and aims on lesser things that matter most
Exploit the resources you do have access to. – The average person is usually astonished when they see a physically handicap person show intense signs of emotional happiness. How could someone in such a restricted physical state be so happy? The answer rests in how they use the resources they do have. Stevie Wonder couldn’t see, so he exploited his sense of hearing into a passion for music, and he now has 25 Grammy Awards to prove it. hmmm something to ponder on.. i might have aced at this but not in all areas kot, so lets work on this more
Savor the natural joys of simple pleasures. – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best things in life are free. They come in the form of simple pleasures and they appear right in front of you at various locations and arbitrary times. They are governed by Mother Nature and situational circumstance and captured by mindful awareness. It’s all about taking a moment to notice the orange and pink sunset reflecting off the pond water as you hold hands with someone you love. Noticing these moments and taking part in them regularly will bring unpredictable bursts of happiness into your life. agree!! check!!!!!!! appreciate the littttttttttttlest things around you!!
Reflect on your goals and direction. – Not doing so is committing to wasteful misdirection. The process of self reflection helps maintain a conscious awareness of where you’ve been and where you intend to go, giving you the ability to realign your trajectory when necessary. check!
Leave time for spontaneous excursions. – Sometimes opportunity knocks at unexpected times. Make sure you have enough flexibility in your schedule to respond accordingly. hehehe gotta work on this more methinks
Be here now. – Right now is the only moment guaranteed to you. Right now is life. Don’t miss it. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Smackin’ delish

You know once upon a time ago, R&B used to be da shiznittttttttttttttttttt. Uh!

Hi

Dah ok

Nobadi nobadi ba choo

My housemate had this song on an ENDLESS repeat way way way way back, before this song got sooo popular on youtube. I hated it at first!! But in the end, I SURRENDERED TO THE WRATH OF NOBADI NOBADI BA CHOO!!! AND FOUND MY LIPS UNCONTROLLABLY HUMMING TO THIS SONG

Pffffffffft!

But it’s a catchy tune indeed, yes.

Now, lets dance!

Yeah, it hasn’t officially started, reason why I’m still here and not doing tonguetwisters!!!! I just pray pray so hard that this time, it’d be a chillex one

Rebirth: Tonguetwister

I’m never good with tonguetwisters. From simple ones such as red lorry yellow lorry red lorry yellow lorry – I could never tongue that line no more than 3 rounds without screwing it up. No better I am with How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? or

She sells seashells by the seashore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I’m sure she sells seashore shells.

How bout you? Could you tongue it all?

Have you ever thought of how practicing tongue twisters can really increase your brain productivity? Tongue twisters shouldn’t be just games and fave past time. Tongue twisters can help you think faster, speak eloquently, boost your attention span, get you to be more focused and oh, makes them french kisses more delish!

Now that you’ve read till this point, I hope you are determined to try out tongue twisters. Do it while you’re driving, do it while you’re showering, do it while you’re putting on make-up, do it while you’re queuing up at the toll gates, do it while you’re stuck in the traffic…

Try a tongue twister while you’re angry or nervous, it might loosen you up

I’ll be doing this for the next few days, as the holiday is nearing……. pffffffffft.

Web Standards

I think my tonguetwister post is gone, dunno what happened to it. It was prolly eaten alive during the migration process!

Anyway for the past few days, we have been discussing about web standards. To me, personally, web standards is very much the same as SEO lah kot. People often come up with trendy and techy keywords and guideline for these 2 things, but at the end of the day

Content is king
Optimize your site on all platforms and devices

When I’m back from my holiday, I’ll probably write a blog post about my thoughts on web standards and the best practices that I try to follow, and why I do it

Until then, I’ll be doing tongue twisters. Toodles!

It’s a Monday!!

Hi, selamat afternoon. First laman web kau login ialah Facebook. Kedua, Gmail. Last sekali, wow Yahoo akhirnya tukar way to reset lost password

Woke up lepas pukul 12 maksudnya cheque kena bank in besok sahaja -_-

Walking down memory lane

It’s that time of the week again where a song from the past crossed your mind and you excitedly visit YouTube to look for that song.. then you came across other songs and more songs and more songs that reminded you how much you missed the good ol’ times

Kamon, sape tak suke lagu bawah ni gile tak kool, mmmkay?

Me and bro used to listen to their tape every single day on the way to school ^_^

And this one, gile classic dowh! One of the first English girl bands from Msia during the mid 90s next to Intoxicated

Dang, dulu2 lagu2 used to be so genuine!

Pesawat – Mirage

Pesawat – Mirage

First time I heard this song, I was like rolling my eyes… not another indiebandnyanyimalaycwap.. but soon after I’ve listened to it more and more, sebab one of my fave makan blogs had it playing on repeat so I had no choice to listen to it hahahaha

I started to love it..

Rewan Ishak

One of the most talented director I’ve ever came across! His vids are always full of visual goodinesss! And his cinematography is always breathtaking in the simplest and carelessly done way, which is what I <3 the most

When I saw the making of Mirage, I couldn’t wait to watch it. After almost 3-4 months of waiting, it’s finally previewed
