Covey-ing the Message
Discover the 90/10 Principle.It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.How? ……….By your reaction.You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.Let's use an example.You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.What happens next will be determined by how you react.You curse.You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.Why did you have a bad day?
- A) Did the coffee cause it?
- B) Did your daughter cause it?
- C) Did the policeman cause it?
- D) Did you cause it?
The answer is “D".You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.Here is what could have and should have happened.Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.Notice the difference?Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.Why?Because of how YOU REACTED.You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.You are told you lost your job.Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.The result?Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.It CAN change your life!!!

Goodbye
If you are thinking that I am leaving this blog to rot, you are one crazy hag. Just a title to scare some. Then again, it seems like a very appropriate title for what I am about to say.
If some of you might be aware, I'd probably be moaning about bad interviews. Well, it is true. Nervousness got to my head I'm afraid. The once control and preparation I had was all gone in front of what was to be my Biology lecturer, who looked friendly yet sometimes a bit uninterested. You would know that I really have doubts on a lot of things. That glimpse of his disinterest just caught my attention, probably affecting how I was to perform. You can't help it. When you are blabbing tons of stuff out which is not crap but full of logical points, you would surely feel weird when the interviewer does not give any reply or makes a rather "no-effect" face. I guess it is safe to say that my lecturer has darn good acting skills to intimidate the ones he interviews, hah? Maybe XD.
Well, of course, the usual messing up with words and having your tongue tied continued to wreak havoc onto my interview replies. It kind of sucks to know that after all those interviews, I still get the same feeling every time - "Saying something then regretting that I said it too soon, making me mess up my points." Yeah, I think it was evident a few times, which could have made him have the thought that I prepared the entire thing which was supposedly unprepared.
Anyhow, what's done is done. After one day of complaining, I think it's safe to say that I have expressed every discontent I had towards my interview and come back to the highway again. Not confident as after I did my PQA. This was a totally different feeling. It was a normal interview which I personally screwed up. All I have to blame is myself, and then move on with life. You know, even if I don't get this, there's always an alternative route to it.
I should know. I've been through it. If you want to talk in the point of university acceptances, I bet no one other than perhaps JR (He applies too many, his fault :P) would understand how rejection has become a very normal process in my life. In April, almost all but one rejected me. In June, more came. Furthermore, I get official rejection letters from places like Harvard. Hey! I GOT A HARVARD LETTER, AIN'T THAT COOL?
Maybe not. But the point is, even if a girl supposedly dumps you, you think you won't have another girl who is equally as attractive whether outside or in that doesn't want you. Think about it. With all your heart, you can do everything *ripped of With All Your Heart by plusOne*. Even if an earthquake strikes Vanuatu, it didn't strike Fiji.... well in geological terms, yet. But anyhow, life is just like that. Whenever you fail, you mourn and cry over spilt milk. Sour grapes. After that, you naturally find it the norm. Like recently in Psychology, I learned that the change in happiness is short-lived. Even if you win the lottery, wouldn't you be happier for what, 2 years? After that, you tend to be as happy as before.
Same goes for sadness. Mourn about it, smash yourself for it. What you are doing is wasting your ATP that your body so dearly needs. Think over it and correct yourself. Improve yourself. If life were simply just about winning, who is going to lose? Someone is bound to. It might seem dark at a point. But hey, find another way towards the light. Perhaps, because of rejection, you can find something better in your life! Certainly what I got. Why not try it?
Remember, sometimes goodbye IS a second chance! :)

R.I.P MJ
Well, it isn't common that I would wake up at around 6 when I had gone to sleep at 2 in the morning. Usually, it'd be at around noon when I would be up and getting ready for a brunch. But no, something got me up. It was a text message. Haha, how weird. Usually I'd just not realise it at all. Maybe I was aging I thought. After that, it was back to sleep for me.
Weird right? Perhaps it was really an indication given that friends have all had, supposedly, "signs" that something had happened. Well, when I finally did wake up, true enough, it was already 11 and lunch was ready. As I switched on the TV, my mum told me the shocking story. Couldn't believe it at first but when I switched on CNN, the whole tragedy shocked me. It has really happened. The King Of Pop, has really passed away.
Ironically, it happened 5 hours ago, about the time I had that sudden awakening. Coincidence? Well, let's just say that perhaps this has shook even the heavens above enough to awake everyone at that very moment in time.
Of course, it came as a big shock, seeing how his life was that he would go through almost everything, even hell and that back again if he already hasn't. For a gem like MJ, it seemed that he would be with us forever. But in truth, even if he was a legendary king, he was nonetheless, a human.
Towards the end of his life, he really suffered through many challenges and obstacles that has sometimes left him tired and deflated. To me, it was kind of unfair for a person who has done so much to the world to be treated this way in recent years. Sitting down on the couch watching MJ's tribute was a real eye opener. It made me realise how important he was to the whole universe. Being a fan of his music for years now, this has really been like a dagger through the heart. Haha, I actually shed a few drops of tears while I reminisce what he has brought to us in this era.
Nevertheless, his legacy will live on forever. What he has done to the world, putting aside from all that controversies which by the way now people say were untrue, will always be remembered and treasured in the hearts of all of us forever. As some people say, we are only remembered and appreciated when we are lost. How true. As for me, I'll continue to play this tiny album I got from Teddy just 2 days ago for the whole day. Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits : HIStory.

My Wife Must Be Pretty
Telling your wife she's not pretty may soon be an offence
By MUGUNTAN VANAR
KOTA KINABALU: A husband telling his wife that she is no longer pretty in an attempt to humiliate her can be classified as an emotional violence offence if amendments are made to the Domestic Violence Act (DVA)1994.
The plan is to amend the DVA for the inclusion of a clause on emotional violence against women.
Currently, they are only protected only against physical abuse, Women's Development Department director-general Datuk Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said.
She said on Wednesday that the aim for proposing the amendment was to safeguard women both physically and emotionally.
Dr Noorul said emotional violence was a form of abuse that would deeply scar a woman and lower their self-esteem, dignity and self-confidence.
“It could be a case where her husband tells his wife she is ugly or humiliates her until she feels emotionally pressured,” she told reporters at the end of a seminar on how to curb violence against women at Wisma Wanita here.
She added they were in the process of bringing the proposed amendments to Parliament.
State Community development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun closed the seminar organised by Sabah Women’s Affairs Department.
Azizah, in her speech, said that there was a need for the law to protect emotional violence against women.
Azizah said there were a total of 99 cases of violence against women in Sabah in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 220 cases during the same period last year which was reported to the police.
This place is officially..... GG. God, next time, looks does matter. My advice, choose your wife wisely.
Oh, and I'm looking forward to that final tonight! =D

DFD Part Uno - April 28
Shandagoras?
Today, the DFD were on a mission. For.......
Every 100 dollars, 20 dollar rebate.
Nike Shoe A : 209 dollars 0 cents.
Adidas Shoe B : 199 dollars 0 cents.
Why did it have something to do with the DFD cauldron? I mean, shoes and cauldron? What the heck is the relation of those two? Surely you don't want to drink a magical potion made of rubber! Ah! But this was to lead to the next event!
The Broken Shandy and the Gold of "Unbrokenness"!
Tribal Council and the Big Red Monster?!
Behold! The Big Red Noodles! *otherwise known as Mee Goreng*
The Legend of the Green Worms
Here's a look at the stall just in case any of you gets lost finding it!
Even the P.C.K. family agrees. No questions asked! =D
Coco-Nuts Over Jelly?
According to Mr Joez the proprietor, these coconut are grown in Perak and are of the pandan species. To form the jelly, the outer husk of the coconut is initially removed and then roasted in the oven. After a cooling period, they are then placed in the cooler room. During this period, jelly will be formed…definitely a new innovation. He assured us that no additive or artificial chemical is added. The jelly is formed through the hot and cold process.Thanks to What2See : Best of Penang Food (CK Lam) for the information and various other sites who confirmed it as well.
Okay, I'll stop being so formal. Ah, another success in my food discovery! Destined For Diabetes shall continue with more sugar and fat intake as we return next time on Part Dos! Enjoy! :D
And yes, I know this is a corny post >_<, but w/e xP
Special Thanks to Jimmy, Collins, James, Sheng and Soony for coming! =D
