A moment of Thought

I would like to say that I’m going a bit far this few months. I've joined and involved few things that catch my eyes and cross my mind. Meet a few new friends from my MBA classes and feel glad about it. Since our course are almost over, we joined a Toastmaster meeting (haven’t decide to become a member), SPA and going out together. It makes our friendship growing. I feel funny for what happened at the Toastmaster meeting (luckily we just a guest..lol!). I was surprised because there were officers, evaluators, timers, grammarian, ah counter to ‘judge’ you while you doing your presentation. I can see how shaking they are especially for the first time member who’s making and delivering speech. It is a non-profit organization with an aimed to help professionals develop public speaking and leadership skills. Quite interesting but I'm not ready to be judge yet hehhee..once I earn my confidence then I'll give a try and of course by becoming a member first.

Making new friends are great opportunity to me. I learned a lot and help me to change a point of view towards daily lives. Some of my new friends are entrepreneur and these give me some idea to dig out and develop more from myself. I received good advices and help me opened a new way to so called ‘urged to change myself’. I really amazed for what they have achieved and some of them are in my age!! Well, I might not good in finding the resources but this idea gives a driving-forced to me to look for it.

Have you all heard about JCI (Junior Chamber Industries)? One of my friends invites me to join their group. I goggled about JCI and found that this organization is under NGO and funded from banks and other societies. It’s all about to create a positive change, a challenges through local developments using strategic and critical planning for creative solutions towards communities and so on. I saw a lot of events and programs run by JCI and mostly helping the communities to face the challenges in world locally and globally. I’m interested in the purposes of this organization because it’s all about ‘serving’ and some more this are non-profit organization. Still thinking about it..lol.

To achieve a balance life is not easy and I admit it’s difficult. However, it is not impossible to achieve it. I play roles as full time worker, student, and free spirit ‘young-single mum’ (hehhehee…don’t laugh at me!!) and mingling around too. Sit in an office for 8-10hours, back home to the daily housework’s, struggling with my assignment/thesis, get prepared for coming exam of ACCA (huh.. thinking to hold this exam) this and that club members and fulfilling ‘my own’ time..lol.



Well, it’s just a moment of thought recalling what I’ve been through in these few months. As a wise people said ‘Every change offers an opportunity’.

By the way, how is your Hari Raya? I’m not going out much this festive season. Only pay visits to my sister and father house and have some Hari Raya moments with them. Well, of course ‘tapau’ some Hari Raya delicacies hehehhe…. I have to watch out my cholesterol level. So dramatic, high cholesterol with only 46kgs hahahha…

  4. I can tell from reading this post of yours that you are a humble person, i must agree.

    you know life itself is already a lesson to learn and humility can really gain you loads of knowledge.

    I will never join Toastmaster (sorry sorry) for there is one thing that i really believe, you can go onto the stage,and pretend that you are a well trained speaker but if you lack passion and loving your audience,then mmmmmmmm . hahahaha my only thought lah hope you dont mind.

    I have crossed path with those who claimed to be good speakers, i was not bowed over.

    take care now ya and god bless

    It is wonderful that you are stretching yourself and trying new things, things that can help change the world in positive ways and give others a chance to do the same. Isn't that one of the most rewarding things in life?
