Scribble from 2015

Found a scribble from 2015, would like to make a note of it here for my reference,
if I ever refer, that is...
 
 
My notes to dear:
 
Thank you for completing my life, playing a complementary role.
You taught me a few stuff
- take things easy, taken action (walk the walk) and managing money.
I was envy with you due to your slight self-centredness.
You get things done for yourself and not overthinking for others.
 
I want to do many things but not much action thus far.
Vippasana meditation
- expect to get clarity but actually should not set any expectation.
 
That's why I tried Atma Kriya Yoga,
wanting to find my own self but I didn't practice it.
Practice makes perfect.
No one is good at one time deal even if talented.
The only advantage talented people has is faster pace of learning for them.
 
You said that I sound like your mom, asking you to do this and that.
I have to admit I do because I can't bear having many things undone.


These are the list of things I wish to do,
let's see how many can get done:
 
Trip to LEGOLAND
Bring mom for out-station trips
More time for mom
Hug / kiss / hold hands with mom
Develop better relationships with JS parents
Swimming / yoga / marathon
Half-marathon in 2 years time
Reading 10 books / year
Update blog / FB album
Photobooks
Don't multi-task - be more mindful and focused
 
 
Places I wish to visit:
 
Taiwan
Turkey
Sarawak (Mulu Cave)
Chiang Mai
Huah Hin
Myanmar
Ho Chi Minh
Hanoi
Xi An
Chong Qing
Hei Long Jiang
 
 
Mountains or hills I wish to climb:
 
Mount Rinjani (going there end of April)
Mount Bromo (volcanic eruption recently)
Gunung Tahan
Taman Negara
Gunung Pulai
Gunung Lambak
Gunung Ledang
Bukit Tabur
Gunung Nuang
Gunung Datuk
 

Quotes

My room is in a major mess and hence today I took some time to clear some of the mess.
Came across these quotes.
I used to have  them at work during my first job.
Decided to throw these away, but not before posting it here.
I would still like to refer to it one day.
 
 
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe,
Is in the end, of little consequence.
The only consequence.... Is what  we do.
(John Ruskin)
 
It is your attitude, not aptitude that determines your altitude.
 
Experience is what we get when we don't get what we wanted.
 
Losing is always temporary but giving up is a permanent stain.
 
The best preparation for the future is to do the best in the present.
 
Before you attempt to beat the odds, Be sure you can survive the odds.
 
 
 
 
 

First time make up

 
 
Went to Watson's to buy make up cleanser for eye and lip
Already bought the facial makeup cleanser from Face Shop, thanks to Sally's recommendation
 
 
Done for make up and ready for casual photo-shoot for wedding
 
 
On the way to clean up my make up and removing the hairdo
 
Close up face
 
 
My naked face, without make up
Skin felt much more breathable and relaxed :)
