<br />
Pregnancy is a gift of god! A gift often came unexpectedly and I had a mixed feeling (happy and nervous and I can't describe the felling) when I knew that I was pregnant early this year. The sole reason is because I was diagnosed with a fibroadenoma (breast lump) after I got married. So grateful that my husband noticed that after we got married ;p So I went an initial scanning followed by FNAC in hospital to find out the characteristics of the lump. I was so prepared to remove it no matter it is good or bad. Fortunately the lump was benign and I was all ready to get rid of the lump in the hospital. However, I found out that I was pregnant a day before the operation so the doctor did not remove it and had advised me to remove it after delivery.<br />
<br />
I told myself that it's fine and everything will be okay by continuous chanting and praying. My only wish at the moment is that baby is absolutely healthy, happy, normal and smooth delivery.<br />
<br />
But many things are changing during the pregnancy from inner self to outer environment, I think it is necessary to write it down to remind myself the beautiful pregnancy journey through continuous challenge.<br />
<br />
1. Hormonal change<br />
<br />
Firstly, I admit that my skin has became so much better and glowing after pregnancy. I used to have a lots of pimples but it is absolutely gone by now.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I am glad that morning sickness doesn't really affect me in the first trimester save that I started mild morning sickness in my second trimester.<br />
<br />
Thirdly, the doctor noticed that I had a fibroid in uterus when he did the detailed ultrasound scanning (why so many fibroids one, I ate too much fibre is it?) The reasons being that 1 out of 3 pregnant woman will get those and it will mostly cease to exist after delivery. Thankfully the position of fibroids doesn't affect the growth of the baby.<br />
<br />
2. Environment change<br />
<br />
Changing from a legal practice to a totally new working environment, moving from "staying alone" in city to "staying with my husband's big family" in suburban in just 2 months time, I have not adapt to the changes yet and it may take a longer time.<br />
<br />
Firstly, the working environment in sub-urban differs from the city. People in sub-urban works very very hard (as in long working hours sticking on chairs) as opposed to working in city where people are creative and trying to find ways to do things differently and effectively. I look like alien when I was walking around the company and go back home on time. I wish I could change the working culture in the new company and not be part of them in the near future.<br />
<br />
Secondly, while many people may asked me "why are you staying with your husband's family after married?" (with a shock and surprise expression). Well my husband is the eldest son and he has a strong sense of responsibility to accompany his parents. I respect his decision and that's actually not a bad idea to stay with in-laws. I am again grateful that my mother and father in law are treating me like their daughter. In addition, I am always stuffed with good food after work because I do not have to cook at all.<br />
<br />
Thirdly, I am so grateful that my parent's house is just 2 minutes away from my husband's house so I can go back to my parent's house almost every day. Just for your info, I am the youngest in my house and my brother and sister are both in Singapore. I can feel my parent's loneliness so I would spend more time with them whenever I am free.<br />
<br />
3. Spiritual change<br />
<br />
The mood swing in pregnancy is real. It's always easy to talk than doing it in the real life. Although I pray and told myself to have a bigger heart to accept everything, my heart will still be moved and affected by outer environment.<br />
<br />
One of the examples is staying with my husband's family. Sometimes I do not understand why is a married woman with family (staying nearby), which is my husband's twin sister, will stay in our house all day, everyday. I totally understand that a daughter who married have a right visit their parents as often as they wish but what if they are staying with you all the time? Is it normal? Can anyone tell me about this because I really don't understand. Then my mood swing is in action and I am trying very very hard to get rid about the bad feeling I had. I always try to welcome guests with open heart.<br />
<br />
I hope I will be happy and free throughout pregnancy journey. Happiness will affect the baby directly and indirectly. I now end my post today with a happiness quote by Daisaku Ikeda:-<br />
<br />
<i>A person with a vast heart is happy</i><br />
<i>Such a person lives each day with a broad and embracing spirit.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A person with a strong will is happy.</i><br />
<i>Such a person can confidently enjoy life, never defeated by suffering.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A person with a profound spirit is happy.</i><br />
<i>Such a person can savour life's depths while creating meaning and value that will last for eternity.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A person with a pure mind is happy</i><br />
<i>Such a person is always surrounded by refreshing breezes of joy.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
See you soon in October, my dearest happy and healthy baby xx<br />

The primary objectives of the blog are to share with other peers on the fighting spirit and purpose searching while we were in a transition between a youth to a beautiful adult.<br />
<br />
After I have graduated from law school, I started my training and subsequently work in a law firm which does not offer me the luxury of time to blog about my working life.<br />
<br />
When I got my first job, I was really grateful for my mentor Mr. Looi for his continuing support and his teaching. I realised that stress handling in university in TOTALLY and ABSOLUTELY different compared to a real world.<br />
<br />
Throwing back to my legal practice in the city 4 years back, I could proudly say that I am stronger and better than yesterday. But there are a lots more for me to challenge and grow in the future.<br />
<br />
Then I got married with my first love.<br />
<br />
I have made a firm decision to move back to my hometown to stay with my husband and his family.<br />
<br />
I have also bravely quit my legal practice and join a construction company to experience the difference.<br />
<br />
Then I got pregnant and entering motherhood at the end of 2018.<br />
<br />
Too much changes in less than 6 months and I have decided to continue blogging about my motherhood journey.<br />
<br />
I will mostly share about experiences in pregnancy and my significant changes in physical, mental and spiritual aspect throughout the journey.<br />
<br />
Hope you will enjoy it xxgooglemeihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16828193767752891877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525612006201951736.post-46017323330679221902016-04-18T21:55:00.001+08:002016-04-18T23:44:07.850+08:00Do It Now!<div>

<div>
Are you in a lost generation?</div>
<div>
Are you looking for a passion?</div>
<div>
Or do you have many ideas but hesitate/fear to implement?</div>
<div>

<div>
I can't believe it is almost May 2016!</div>
<div>
What have you done?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I bother, ponder and wonder what are my missions and how to make it a reality. There are some tips I found today! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your have to hustle and to think outside the book;</div>
<div>
Remember to continue to stand up when you are beaten down relentlessly;</div>
<div>
Win or Learn, you will NEVER LOSE!</div>
<div>
You will make it, maybe not immediately, but ABSOLUTELY & DEFINITELY!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION WHILE OTHERS HESITATE;</div>
<div>
YOU NEED TO THINK BIG WHILE OTHERS DON'T;</div>
<div>
YOU NEED TO SACRIFICE WHILE OTHERS DON'T;</div>
<div>
YOU NEED TO DARE TO DREAM WHILE OTHERS FEAR IT;</div>
<div>
YOU NEED TO OUTWORK YOUR COMPETITION DAY AND NIGHT!</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: orange;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: orange;">YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR FATE;</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: orange;">THE MASTER OF YOUR SOUL;</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: orange;">THE BOSS OF YOUR DREAMS;</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: orange;">THE QUEEN/KING OF YOUR GOALS!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You have to be leader to be unique;</div>
<div>
To be hungry always and never satisfied;</div>
<div>
To take criticism and negativity, and use it for your greatness;</div>
<div>
To survive the storms and tough moments;</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dedication - Commitment - Discipline.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only difference between successful person and ordinary person is that:-</div>
<div>

<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Take action, while all others are sitting on their hands.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
DO IT NOW!</div>

"The role of the mentor is to point toward an ideal and the most effective means of its achievement, while the disciple strives to realize this ideal on an even greater scale than has been achieved by the mentor. The shared ideal, and the shared struggle to realize it, create a profound closeness in the lives of mentor and disciple--what Buddhism describes as the 'oneness' of mentor and disciple. This is the lifeblood of Buddhism."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In any field, a person who aids the development of another may be regarded as a mentor. In Buddhism, which is concerned with human happiness and development, the mentor-disciple relationship is fundamental. The foundation of the relationship between mentor and disciple in Buddhism is the shared pledge to work together for the happiness of people, to free them from suffering.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The Lotus Sutra, the Buddhist scripture that is the basis of Nichiren Buddhism, contains a vivid allegorical description of the moment when the Buddha's disciples make this pledge. The sutra describes how, during an occasion when Shakyamuni Buddha is preaching, the earth splits open and a multitude of resplendent bodhisattvas (individuals who have made compassionate action the foundation of their being) emerge. These so-called "Bodhisattvas of the Earth" are firmly resolved to continue to live out Shakyamuni's teachings after his passing, in the difficult and corrupted age to come. They vow to exert themselves to save people from suffering in this period of great social and spiritual turmoil, facing head-on whatever hardships they may encounter.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This grand, cinematic description portrays the profundity of the shared commitment of mentor and disciple to working for people's happiness throughout time. It is a metaphor for the transformation of the Buddha's disciples from passive recipients of the teachings to people committed to advancing on the path of compassionate action pioneered by the Buddha.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 20.736000061035156px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Defining a Path</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Buddhism is a philosophy with the aim of empowering people. Its central premise is that each person has the innate capacity to triumph in any circumstances in which they find themselves, to surmount any source of suffering, transforming it into a source of growth and strength. It is a philosophy established on the conviction that there exist within the lives of each of us at each moment inexhaustible reserves of courage, wisdom, compassion and creative energy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The mentor makes the disciple aware, and continues to remind him or her, of this profound potential, giving the disciple confidence in their own unrealized possibilities. It is the mentor's own life, at least as much as their teaching, that provides this inspiration. The abstract ideal of enlightenment is made tangible in the mentor's character and action.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The mentor's life is focused on the empowerment of others, modeling the fact that our own highest potential and happiness are realized through taking action for others. As SGI President Daisaku Ikeda writes, "The enlightenment and happiness of both self and others: A true mentor in Buddhism is one who enables us to remember this aspiration."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The path of developing one's own humanity that Buddhism maps out--the "path of enlightenment"--lies in the balance of having the courage to squarely confront one's own challenges, striving to grow and develop as a person, while taking action for the sake of others. At a crucial moment of indecision, thinking of a mentor's example can help one take a courageous step and break through one's limitations. The mentor's teachings and example help the disciple continue to progress on this difficult path of enlightenment--difficult because of the powerful countervailing tendencies of the human heart toward complacency, fear, arrogance and laziness. SGI President Ikeda comments: "A mentor helps you perceive your own weaknesses and confront them with courage."</div>

That the mentor is a model of Buddhist practice does not mean that the disciple strives to imitate the mentor's persona, but rather to learn from the mentor's example, or way of life, and to bring that approach to life to bear on their own particular circumstances, expressed through the qualities of their own unique character. It is by internalizing the mentor's spirit in this way that the disciple grows and develops beyond their self-perceived limitations. The mentor-disciple relationship in Buddhism is a courageous path of self-discovery, not imitation or fawning.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In Buddhism, ultimate responsibility lies with the disciple. The mentor is always prepared to teach. The disciple must choose to seek and learn, and will develop to the extent that he or she works to absorb and take action on the basis of the mentor's teachings.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 20.736000061035156px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
A Genuine Mentor</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
What criteria distinguish a genuine mentor in Buddhism? First is the fundamental orientation or motivation of the teacher--the ideal to which that person has dedicated their life. The highest, most noble ideal is the commitment to enable all people, without exception, to overcome suffering and become happy. Furthermore, a genuine teacher is one whose own efforts to seek truth and develop wisdom are continual throughout their lives. This attitude could be contrasted with that of a teacher who believes they have learned all they need to know and need only dispense their knowledge in a one-sided manner. That kind of teacher is also likely to try to boost their standing by obscuring the truth and turning knowledge into a privilege, rather than making it freely available to all.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The ultimate desire of a genuine mentor is to be surpassed by their disciples. This open-ended process of growth and succession is what allows a living tradition to develop and adapt to changing times. In the Lotus Sutra, it is signified by the fact that the Bodhisattvas of the Earth are even more splendid in appearance than their mentor, Shakyamuni.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Defining the respective functions of mentor and disciple, one could say that the role of the mentor is to point toward an ideal and the most effective means of its achievement, while the disciple strives to realize this ideal on an even greater scale than has been achieved by the mentor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The shared ideal, and the shared struggle to realize it, create a profound closeness in the lives of mentor and disciple--what Buddhism describes as the "oneness" of mentor and disciple. This is the lifeblood of Buddhism and the means by which the aspiration to live a fully realized life and enable others to do the same is transmitted and developed from one generation to the next. In the absence of this shared commitment and the effort on the disciple's part to strive in the same spirit as the mentor, the mentor would simply become an object of veneration and Buddhism would lose its transformative power.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 20.736000061035156px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Growth and Continuity</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The deep connection between mentor and disciple, and in particular the relationship between the Soka Gakkai's first three presidents, is what has sustained the development of the organization. Each successive president has expanded on the vision of his predecessor in painstakingly developing a movement able to reach out to, embrace and empower the greatest diversity of people. The current SGI president, Daisaku Ikeda (1928- ), worked closely with second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda (1900-58) in the post-World War II period to empower literally millions of Japanese people, enabling them to positively transform their circumstances. Toda himself had been imprisoned alongside his mentor, founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944), for refusing to compromise the integrity of the teachings of Buddhism under pressure from Japan's militarist government.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Ikeda has broadened and internationalized the vision of people's empowerment he inherited from these mentors, taking it beyond the scope of a religious movement and developing a global movement for the promotion of peace, culture and education.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Ikeda has described his actions as an effort to inspire others with a sense of the possibilities that one person can accomplish on the basis of the mentor-disciple spirit. He has frequently expressed his determination to open new avenues for engagement with social and global issues that can be fully developed by future generations. "The relationship between mentor and disciple," he writes, "can be likened to that between needle and thread. The mentor is the needle and the disciple is the thread. When sewing, the needle leads the way through the cloth, but in the end it is unnecessary, and it is the thread that remains and holds everything together."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The commitment to the happiness of all people is at the heart of Buddhism. But it is through the relationship of mentor and disciple, through life-to-life connections, one person's aspiration igniting another's, that this ideal is brought out of the realm of abstract theory and made a reality in people's lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Thank you mentor, I hope to be an earnest disciple to learn from you. NMHRK</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Town Hall session kicked start with Mr. Obama's greetings in Bahasa Malayu. He said that "Malaysia Boleh" was resemblance to "Yes We Can" throughout his presidency campaign. He emphasized the power of youth towards the nation building and transform the world into a better place. The vision of our world lies in the hands of the youths. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Together, we can achieve just, prosperous and peace.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now I would like to share some highlight on President Obama's speech:-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>1. Equality</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Malaysia won't succeed if non-Muslims don't have opportunity" the best quote of the day. He emphasized in the "togetherness" despite the races, religions, languages and differences. It is important to respect the diversity because it is the uniqueness of this nation. The diversity creates unique intersection of humanity. The equality of different background and ethnic groups is important to achieve a prosperous nation. He further expressed that we should appreciate our differences and background, it shouldn't be a reason to discriminate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>2. Perseverance</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The problem that most of the youth facing today is being "impatience". Impatience is usually defined as irritation with anything that causes delay. It is a strength to change something but sometimes, we can be disappointed if change doesn't happen immediately. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He pointed out the need to persevere and do not give up easily in whatever field that we are doing. I appreciate his encouragement because I face the same problem as well. I always look forward to achieve result immediately without realizing the importance of strong foundation. Daisaku Ikeda once said "What is easily done can be easily undone. To move steadily forward on one's chosen path, step after step, whether or not others are watching; to meet difficulties with the steady, relentless strength ceaselessly flowing water-such firmness of purpose, such integrity and perseverance builds a foundation that can be never compromised." Never give up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>3. Money</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr. President said if we want to start a business, we should be really excited about the product and it shouldn't just about how much money we can make. For example Bill Gates who started Microsoft are really interested in what they do and they really think that it can make a difference in people. He said "I think the most important thing for me was when I started thinking more about other people and how I could have impact in my larger society and community, and wasn't just thinking about myself." That's when your dreams can really come true, if we think about others, our world gets bigger. (Y)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mr. President discourage us to spend every minute of every day working (yayyy!) It is because we have to enjoy life. But it is also important to spend time wisely because most of us have spent awful lot of time on watching TV or playing games. When we add it up, we could have spent more time in learning a new language or other meaningful things. Remember time losses can never be redeemed, we must use time as a tool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5. Family </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Spend more time with family because in the end, the family is such an important part of our life! He warned those who have not called their parents lately to care about their family. Malchor Lim once said, you must make an effort to appreciate what you have, who loves you and who cares for you, because you will never know how much they mean to you until the day they are no longer beside you. Spend lots of quality time with the people you love, someday you will either regret not doing so or you will be glad for what you did. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many people are saying that it was wasted opportunity because the participants had threw weak questions. In my opinion this talk is rather personal one for us to know how a president think. He might be dealing with political and global issues everyday but the answer by Obama to those simple questions really inspired me. Please be informed that the participants is formed from high school students until graduated youths. It is not fair to generalize everyone as there were only a few people randomly selected to ask. I had prepared so many questions in hand but I was not being selected to to share my questions and thoughts with Mr. President. (face problem maybe?) I hope to see him in the near future to have a greater discussions with him :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The snow glows white on the mountain tonight</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not a footprint to be seen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A kingdom of isolation,</span></div>

<div class="verse" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The cold never bothered me anyway!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;">Sometimes we judge ourselves pretty harshly. We blame myself for things we have no control over. We criticize and treating ourselves far worse than we would ever treat anyone else. It's easy to hold ourselves to high standards, and get disappoint if we fail to meet them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Perhaps the key to silencing the enemy is accepting all of ourselves including both darkness and light within us, the learning to create a higher ratio of self-diminishing thoughts. Maybe the goal shouldn't be always high but to recognize when we start being self-critical so that we can shift our thoughts more quickly and effectively with each internal struggle.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;">Despite the criticisms, ignorance, disappointments and emo, please do not give up to try again and again. I am trying to focus on progress, not perfection - to forgive myself when I have gotten negative, let it go let it go, and then start anew right where I stand.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 16px;">"Don't be too hard on yourself, there are plenty of people willing to do that for you. Love yourself and be proud of everything that you do. Even mistakes mean you are trying. When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you"</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2014 kick off with a great lesson.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reflected on how I worked in my very first month, I did mistakes in my borang 1-5, screw sq,hs,cs,ke work, transcribing problems etc. The one and only reason that caused the problem is nobody else but myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember how my mum scolded me of not closing my closet most of the time, criticized the disorder manner of my clothes, never put back the things that I took from etc. I told myself I don't want to waste my time in these tiny mini little things that affect my more important things. Eventually the "cincai" habit (simply do) have became my bad habit that have an adverse impact in my pieces of work done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The METICULOUS needed to be trained in my daily life. For instance, if I am going to mop a floor in my condo, I could just cincai run a mop over the floor without paying extra attention to it as long as I mop it. Previously, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I used to think that "ceh, don't waste my time doing those preparations, it's just a floor anyway".</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However, there are so many skills required to mop it properly. I definitely need to wear my specs (in order to see the floor clearly), then I need to move all of the furniture and other items on the floor. After putting the right mixture of the chemicals in the bucket, I also need to ensure the mop head is clean without much water on it. I can now start going from left to right or vice versa. After that I have to make sure that the chemical residue free from the bucket and the floor. The floor not only looks better and cleaner by using the right method and proper portion of the chemical, it will be will be germ-free too! No one might notice the difference but it doesn't change the fact that the floor is not the cleanest unless I put a meticulous effort in mopping the floor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But look at a larger picture, apply the same technique to life and work. The best example in pupillage is to do transcribing. One can choose to do it with cincai attitude or to do it wholeheartedly. Doing transcribing might be time consuming but these are all the valuable practices to become a more meticulous and careful person. We all make mistakes but efforts can be done to minimize the mistakes. Also, nobody is perfect but I strive to do the absolute best that I can. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Being a pupil is not an excuse to make mistakes, we need to treat EVERY single piece of work equally and take it very carefully" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The question now is HOW CAN I BE METICULOUS?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Patience is one of the key factor. Many instances the work can't be done properly because I lost patience at the end. So practicing patience in even the smallest thing in my self.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Discipline and perseverance is another challenges that I am trying to encounter. Do the best piece of work disregard of whether the work was given by other pupils, secretary, associates or even partner. With the meticulous habit, I believe that it will prevent any bigger problems that cause more work in the long run.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking at my favourite Lamborghini, every bolt, inch of piping, machine in the engine were meticulously designed to ensure the car doesn't fall apart when I am driving in highway. Similarly, I want to be more and more meticulous in whatever undertakings in the present and future to ensure my bright future *wink*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I feel thankful for the all the constructive criticisms that inspired me to do my human revolution. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">p/s: I shall continue exercise more and more to keep myself energetic! I believe that meticulous can only be achieved when I have the strong mental and physical condition to face any challenge in my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ALL THE BEST!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How's pupillage have been treating you? Besides research, opinion writing, V-notes, DD, translation and reports, we are doing a lots of transcribing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Transcribing is a process to put the entire court proceedings into a written form. Often time the court proceedings took more than 10 hours on case to case basis. So transcribing has been occupied most of our nights and weekends.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The hours and days in transcribing, compiling and editing can really kill my patience. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: justify;">However, we are still doing it to help out our friends as a team. It can't be done without the corporation of everyone. Subsequently, I realized that a well functioning team can make work a joy! I was truly amazed by the "Minion spirits" portrayed by my peers. With their energetic demeanor, lively, cooperative and voluntarism, what is not to love about my job?</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One cannot achieve great accomplishments without first undergoing the tedious work.I am all ready to embrace and challenges or work that will be given by anyone!</span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nothing can reply the value of face-to-face dialogue. An author of body language James Borg says that human communication consists of 93% body language and para linguistic cues, while only 7% consists of words. Here are just some of the manage advantages of face-to face dialogue. It is definitely useful for me who is still trying to improve my writing skills in English.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Effectiveness</b>: To get things done as soon as possible. When an issue requires a decision, you are able to reach a consensus quickly. One simple 5 minutes conversation could eliminate 15 emails.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Non-verbal communication</b>: Someone who is frequently checking their watch would tell you easily that it's time to wrap things up. Conversely if the other are smiling and nodding with you, you know that they are agree with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Misunderstanding</b>: How many times a massage or email have been misunderstood or perceived by another party? Face to face meetings will definitely minimize the risk of miscommunication.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Personal touch</b>: There is a feeling of community because we are able to interact with one another. A bond has been built quickly that sets the foundation for trust.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In short, although face to face dialogue are the preferred method of communication, the other forms of communication allows us to save time and boost up productivity without restricted by locality in the age of technology .</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">So, lets trying to get rid of instant messages, e-mail, whatsapp and social media if possible. Let's meet up and talk :D</span><br />

This is a inspiring article from Mark Manson at <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-manson/the-most-important-question_b_4269161.html">huffingtonpost</a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Everybody wants what feels good. Everyone wants to live a care-free, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships, to look perfect and make money and be popular and well-respected and admired and a total baller to the point that people part like the Red Sea when you walk into the room.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Everybody wants that -- it's <em style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">easy</em> to want that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
If I ask you, "What do you want out of life?" and you say something like, "I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like," it's so ubiquitous that it doesn't even mean anything.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Everyone wants that. So what's the point?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
What's more interesting to me is <strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">what pain do you want?</strong> What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives end up.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Everybody wants to have an amazing job and financial independence -- but not everyone is willing to suffer through 60-hour work weeks, long commutes, obnoxious paperwork, to navigate arbitrary corporate hierarchies and the blasé confines of an infinite cubicle hell. People want to be rich without the risk, with the delayed gratification necessary to accumulate wealth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Everybody wants to have great sex and an awesome relationship -- but not everyone is willing to go through the tough communication, the awkward silences, the hurt feelings and the emotional psychodrama to get there. And so they settle. They settle and wonder "What if?" for years and years and until the question morphs from "What if?" into "What for?" And when the lawyers go home and the alimony check is in the mail they say, "What was it all for?" If not for their lowered standards and expectations for themselves 20 years prior, then what for?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Because happiness requires struggle. You can only avoid pain for so long before it comes roaring back to life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
At the core of all human behavior, the good feelings we all want are more or less the same. Therefore what we get out of life is not determined by the good feelings we desire but by what bad feelings we're willing to sustain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
"Nothing good in life comes easy," we've been told that a hundred times before. The good things in life we accomplish are defined by where we enjoy the suffering, where we enjoy the struggle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
People want an amazing physique. But you don't end up with one unless you legitimately love the pain and physical stress that comes with living inside a gym for hour upon hour, unless you love calculating and calibrating the food you eat, planning your life out in tiny plate-sized portions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
People want to start their own business or become financially independent. But you don't end up a <a href="http://markmanson.net/33-things-every-aspiring-entrepreneur-should-know" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_Blank"><span style="color: black;">successful entrepreneur</span></a> unless you find a way to love the risk, the uncertainty, the repeated failures, and working insane hours on something you have no idea whether will be successful or not. Some people are wired for that sort of pain, and those are the ones who succeed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
People want a boyfriend or girlfriend. But you don't end up attracting <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://markmanson.net/amazing-women" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_Blank">amazing people</a> </span>without loving the emotional turbulence that comes with weathering rejections, building the sexual tension that never gets released, and staring blankly at a phone that never rings. It's part of the game of love. You can't win if you don't play.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What determines your success is "What pain do you want to sustain?"</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
I wrote in <a href="http://markmanson.net/9-subtle-lies-we-all-tell-ourselves" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">an article last week</a> that I've always loved the idea of being a surfer, yet I've never made consistent effort to surf regularly. Truth is: I don't enjoy the pain that comes with paddling until my arms go numb and having water shot up my nose repeatedly. It's not for me. The cost outweighs the benefit. And that's fine.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
On the other hand, I am willing to live out of a suitcase for months on end, to stammer around in a <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://markmanson.net/foreign-language" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_Blank">foreign language</a> for hours with people who speak no English to try and buy a cell phone, to get lost in new cities over and over and over again. Because that's the sort of pain and stress I enjoy sustaining. That's where my <a href="http://markmanson.net/find-what-you-love" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">passion lies</a>,</span> not just in the pleasures, but in the stress and pain.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
There's a lot of self development advice out there that says, "You've just got to want it enough!"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
That's only partly true. Everybody wants something. And everybody wants something badly enough. They just aren't being honest with themselves about <em style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">what</em> they actually want that bad.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
If you want the benefits of something in life, you have to also want the costs. If you want the six pack, you have to want the sweat, the soreness, the early mornings, and the hunger pangs. If you want the yacht, you have to also want the late nights, the risky business moves, and the possibility of pissing off a person or ten.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
If you find yourself wanting something month after month, year after year, yet nothing happens and you never come any closer to it, then maybe what you actually want is a fantasy, an idealization, an image and a false promise. Maybe you <a href="http://markmanson.net/dreams" style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">don't actually want it at all</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
So I ask you, "How are you willing to suffer?"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Because you have to choose something. You can't have a pain-free life. It can't all be roses and unicorns.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Choose how you are willing to suffer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Because that's the hard question that matters. Pleasure is an easy question. And pretty much all of us have the same answer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
The more interesting question is the pain. <em style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What is the pain that you want to sustain?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Because <em style="border: 0px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">that</em> answer will actually get you somewhere. It's the question that can change your life. It's what makes me me and you you. It's what defines us and separates us and ultimately brings us together.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
So what's it going to be?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
I always anticipate a great environment for pupillage with great bunch of friends by meeting a great master that give me great work. *wake up please* Reality are so much different than my imagination. I couldn't stand the culture of transcribing that have not much advantage to the pupils in the firm. Everyone else seems like obedient to accept it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
I ponder. I think I should have accept it as my challenge in part of my training process. Everyone have to undergo this period as we are still a newbie. I think it is part and parcel of the pain that we are going to handle.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
I WANT TO CREATE MY AMAAAZING PUPILLAGE EXPERIENCE! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Century, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">

It's not only my first anniversary after I enshrined Gohonzon, it is also my first day of pupillage! I believe it's a gift from Gohonzon. :)</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muhammad Ali Jinnah once said:" I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right." Similarly, instead of wishing and hoping to get a good master or gain the best knowledge, I want to create positive values and greatest memories in my 9 months of pupillage! Therefore, I have listed 9 resolutions in my pupillage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Passion</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still remember vividly where I can't answer the interviewer's question in relation to my future. Although it is important to live at the present, I want to discover my passion and focus in a specific area that I love. Passion energizes me to get up each morning and help me to find direction in my life and career. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Healthy </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This seems like a must-have list in each and every of my resolution. I believe nothing can be done without mentally and physically health. Equipped with best facilities in my condominium, I must hit the gym/swimming pool/badminton court/futsal/squash more often! Also, I wish to get my golf handicap. Most importantly, I must achieve my goal-weight of 52kg. I can do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Friends</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to be surrounded and associated with like-minded and passionate friends that can inspire me to do better. Let's try the law of attractions yayy!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. Attitude</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A positive attitude causes a chain of reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results. Be humble and kind to people. I am thinking of sharing positive messages with random strangers. HAHAHHA. Always treat everyone as you would want them to treat you. Be confident and fearless. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Opportunites</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Challenges are opportunities. There is no adversity that I cannot transform based on the Buddhist principle of "changing poison into medicine." Challenges keep a fire in my belly and my passion high. I am not going to let myself stressed out. When I feel that rush of stress, I am going to sit back and put my hands behind my head and stretch out my legs. Be prepared to receive my "crazy notes" or "love letters" to distress lol </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>6. Reading</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is one of my weakness that I am trying to overcome. I must read newspaper/e-news everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>7. Financial </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make money in Riggit and spend in Ruppiah and I want for nothing. I truly understand pupillage can't really earn much money but I believe that the knowledge is my greatest treasure that I will gain. It is important to have my financial planning to ensure my monthly expenses are bare minimum. You guys can still date me for lunch/dinner because I have budget for it ;d Hopefully I can get myself a Swiss automatic watch after the 9 months!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>8. Blog</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A minimum of 9 posts per month. I want to polish my English and share my interesting pupillage experiences with you all :)))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>9. Kosen rufu</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to contribute to my life and share it with others. One of the best ways to share passion with friends, family and colleagues is through face-to-face dialogue. That is why I much value in gatherings and soka activities. I believe it will help me to discover and reaffirm my passsion, resulting in an incredibly amazing and productive months in my pupillage. </div>
<br />
I foresee the traffic congestion in my near future. It will my best opportunity to chant :) Chant a minimum 30 minutes for the luck, faith, wisdom and happiness for all.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Congratulations on the completion of your legal education. Kudos for your accomplishment in reaching this wonderful milestone! I am sure most of the graduates are gearing up for their chambering/pupillage. Here are some interview tips to help you during your chambering interview. Also refer to <a href="http://googlemei.blogspot.com/2012/10/legal-attachment-and-chambering-at-kl.html">my previous post</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know preparation is the key to success at any interview. Please bear in mind that the legal market is very competitive. If you are being contacted for an interview, it means that you are a potential chambering student (or also known as "chambee"). You need to do some homework</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">if you want to get the job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Before the Interview</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please ensure that you know your </span><a href="http://www.loyarburok.com/2013/10/28/essential-tips-law-firm-job-applications/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">resume</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> well. Be honest in your CV and do not exaggerate about what you have done. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Read some developments in regards to legal scene or current issues.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Equipped yourself with basic legal principles (Contract Law, Company Law, Land Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, your favourite subject depending on your desire firm)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Research on the firm and review the job description. You wouldn't want to go to a conveyancing firm if you want to be a litigator in the future.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>During the Interview</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plan to arrive the firm 30 minutes as oppose to LeeShih's <a href="http://www.loyarburok.com/2013/10/30/essential-tips-law-firm-job-interviews/">suggestion</a> before the interview. It is because you need to fill up your particulars <strike>that has already shown in your CV</strike> .</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some firms require you to do some <u>personality test</u> such as Zul Rafique, Raja Darryl & Loh etc. Some other firms have <u>aptitude test</u> for the candidates such as Rahmat Lim & Partners, Zaid Ibrahim & Co, Naqiz & Partners, Cheah Teh & Su, Wong & Partners etc. Some firm even need to do presentation-Kadir Andri & Partners. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.loyarburok.com/2013/09/19/dress-like-a-lawyer/">Dress</a> well. A smart casual will do. Avoid bright or flashy colours to project an image of professionalism. A decent light make up would be sufficient for female candidate.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Start your interview by greeting the interviewer with a smile :)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maintain eye contact with interviewers at all times.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please prepare "tell me about yourself" This classic question seems very easy yet very important to leave a good impression.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask your interviewer questions because it demonstrate your passion for the job opportunity. However, try to avoid the money related question because you roughly know about the market price. The employer will tell you the allowances in advance if they plan to hire you. In KL, the chambering remuneration package is ranging from 1k-3.5k. Bigger firms usually offer higher allowances. </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>After the interview</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank the interviewer for their time. Also not forgetting the receptionist or whoever who have assisted you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Send them a thank you note!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Follow up your application status</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Conclusion</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I understand that some big firms prefer overseas graduate. But please do not hesitate to try out even you are a local graduates like I do. Never put yourself in the position of regretting what you did not try. Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out and make the best in your interview regardless of your background. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, be confident in yourself! Stay true to yourself throughout your application process. Always follow your heart and inner voice when making decision. Nothing can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by others saying.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even you have failed in your first few interviews, please do not discourage and keep going on. Daisaku Ikeda once said: "Do you give up the struggle to overcome your own limitations on the first attempt, or do you keep on with it, trying a second time, third time and continuing on in the challenge for the rest of your life. That's the only difference between the genius and the ordinary person." </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DON'T GIVE UP. The best has yet to come.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am starting my chambering next month! <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18px;">Psyched myself up with full of hope, I can't wait to see what beckons. No stress no fun! I really look forward to meet my mentor who is able to unlock my potential. NMHRK!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Very often I have a lots to tell but somehow they have just left untold. Sometimes I am just being secretive to tell anything because I don't want to let many people know what's going on in my life. I like to keep things to only a small circle of people due to the possible danger in the new media. I don't feel like I could write truthfully on this blog for a long time, but I am trying to think a direction for this blog because I don't want to abandon my old good friend-my blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My dearest readers might have some idea what is going on. I reckon most of the people thought I am going to JB but I have changed my mind two days before I commence my pupillage in JB. Things happened that is out of my control. Marilyn Monroe once said:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they are right. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."</span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Psyched myself up with full of hope and spirits, waiting to start a new life, waiting to see what beckons. I am excited about pupillage, and yet apprehensive as usual. The work, stress, possibility of growing fat :p </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everything is a vibration:-everything you see, everything you feel and everything you think. Things happened to match what you habitually think. If you are worried, you attract more things that are worrisome. If you are appreciative, you attract more things to appreciate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">November has been an unpredictable month that is full of excitements. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have learnt how to give myself a second options. Most importantly to follow my heart. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello my NZWH friends! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Working Holiday in New Zealand in an exciting scheme where you can gain valuable experience by your own funding to travel throughout New Zealand. IRD number is an unique 9-digit number given by the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) for your employer to deduct tax from your earnings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How are you applying IRD number and getting full tax refund in one day? I'm going to share with you my exciting stories!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Getting an IRD Number in one day</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>1. Telephone Number</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the first thing you need to do after you have reached the NZ airport. There are three major telecommunication companies:- </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Telekom</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vodafone</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2 Degrees.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I bought Vodafone because everyone is going to that shop -.- Telekom is an awesome company that you might want to consider. 2 Degrees is not available in the airport, you can find it in the town. But bear in mind that their reception is not so good compared to Telekom or Vodafone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>2.Bank Account</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are several banks in New Zealand:-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ANZ</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">BNZ </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ASB </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kiwibank</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kiwibank is very convenient because it is integrated with post office. I opened a Kiwibank account after I have settled down. You need to prepare a copy of of your working holidays visa, passport, driving license, phone number, and your address in New Zealand for the application. You can get a bank card right after your application. You can also apply for a Visa card for free if you have settled down in NZ.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*you can apply for your IRD Number in Kiwibank if you are not hurry.*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>3. Offer Letter </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was so lucky to secure a placement in kiwi pack house within one day. For those who are interested in Eastpack, you may e-mail to the HR Manager directly to schedule an interview. [please get the e-mail address from me if you are interested]. She will issue an Offer Letter right after the interview. This Offer Letter is very crucial to obtain your IRD Number within one day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>4. IRD Number Application</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Go to the IRD Branch is the fastest method you can get your IRD Number within one day. Try to make an appointment before you go to the IRD branch by phone call. You can either go to the Takapuna branch/Manukau branch in Auckland. Get ready your copy of working holiday visa, passport, translated driving license, bank account details, phone number, offer letter and the completed Individual tax [IR 595] application form. Tell the officer that you need the IRD Number urgently by showing them the Offer Letter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*you can get their IRD Number fast without an Offer Letter provided if you are good in bullshit.*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then you will get an IRD Number by a phone call from IRD within 24 hours. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><b>Getting your full tax refund in one day</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><b><br /></b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are two methods where you can get your tax refund before you leave New Zealand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">online application [The IRD Officer advice me to apply it but I have never tried it before. Apply it 1-2 months before you leave new zealand] </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">go to the IRD Branch</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Friday</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I reached Auckland on Friday bacause my flights back to Durianland is on Tuesday morning. I went to the Inland Revenue Department to settle my tax refund because I didn't know how to do it online. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I filled in Individual tax return [IR 3] form together with my flight details to speed up the tax refund. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I met up with the tax specialist, I asked them in regards to the tax relief in New Zealand. The tax specialist said that if your country has a DTA with New Zealand, you may be exempt from NZ income tax. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are many countries that had signed the DTA with New Zealand including Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and most of the Europe Countries. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For instance, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">if you are a student </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.953125px; text-align: start;">visiting NZ, a resident of the other Contracting State [MY/SG/TW/CN] and is present in the NZ solely for the purpose of his education or training shall not be taxed in NZ on payments (including salary or wages) to the extent to which he receives such payments for the purposes of his maintenance can be exempt from tax payment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.953125px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">After the long discussion with the specialist, I was being exempted from the tax payment and entitled to get the full tax refund. The tax specialist said it is possible to issue a cheque on Monday.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">I was hopeful to get the cheque and cash before I go back home but I did have high expectation. I met up with my best friend and we did some shopping together. I got a call from IRD to get the cheque around 3 o'clock. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">My friend and I took a bus to go to the IRD branch. The bus was moving like a turtle and </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">we have decided to take a cab to IRD branch because it is closing around</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.94791603088379px;"> 4.30p.m. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">The clock are ticking but the taxi has yet to come. Finally we saw the taxi and we reached IRD around 4.o5 p.m.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">They requested to photocopy my passport as a procedural requirement. After the long checking procedure by the ASB, ASB could not give the cash due to the signatory problem on the cheque. ASB asked me to go back to the IRD to ask for clarifications.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">So that's how I got my full tax refund in a day. I thought it was the happy ending...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">The beginning of </span><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">nightmare</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">I received a letter from the IRD after I reached home. They said that I was not entitled to get full refund under the law because they have construed the law wrongly. So I have to pay them back a big sum of money. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">I appealed by giving them 1001 reasons why I should not pay them back but my application was being rejected.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">FINALLY, my tax relief was granted last week after several appeals! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.94791603088379px;">Working holidays in New Zealand has filled with so many ups and downs. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Many wonderful things happen when you initiate. I might be late to be called to the bar, but I want to be proud when I look back when I reach mid-20s in a few years time. All I want is to meet the best people I could meet at a point of time, tried everything that I wanted to try (cooking, working, woofing, helpX, farming, </span><span style="line-height: 17.99479103088379px;">couch surfing, hitch hiking etc)</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> and done the best that I could have done. </span></span></span></span></div>

如果說生命是一張七彩的唱片,那麼微笑就是一首和諧的歌,它能使生活更加燦爛;如果說生命是一個音符,那麼微笑就是一架鋼琴,它能使你的生活生動起來。池田先生說過不管遇見什麼事情都要開心的面對。我一直也很欣賞路飛的精神。我原本以為我是快樂天使,微笑永遠都沒有截至日期。</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
但不知何時開始我臉上的微笑漫漫不見了。我真的很努力尋找往日的開心,尋找那遺失的微笑。現在是我人生最最最黃金的假期,想做什麼都可以,想去哪裡都可以,豐衣足食。但我發現自己有越來越多的缺點。漫長的假期竟然請來了憂鬱先生的來探訪!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
當我推開一層一層的心門時,我竟然發現自己內心的聲音。我發現自己原來為自己做的決定那麼心疼。做決定的時候考慮很多身邊的人,讓自己比較“輕鬆”過日子,但卻忘記問最真實的內心。自己心理有了答案,卻違背心願。然後看著自己的微笑漸漸消失。雖然就只有短短的九個月,難道地方真的可以磨滅你想學習的決心嗎?那是不可能的,我一定努力去創造價值,為我的決定負責任。我相信唱題會給我最好的路,會便毒為藥。</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
失去了微笑就像船隻沒有了指南針迷失方向;失去了微笑就像小鳥失去了翅膀飛不上藍天。要知道時間不會因為你不開心就停止不前,生活也不會為了你的悲傷而同情你。為甚麼不讓自己快快樂樂的度過每一天?微笑的面對考驗讓自己更加堅強!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
生活就是一面鏡子,你對它笑它也會對你笑。為了自己,微笑吧,放下那些不開心的事。有些事拿得起就該放的下。不要讓自己過得太累,不要背著難過,不要把悲傷壓在肩膀上而變得脆弱。 在家根本不帶面具的我,不需要壓抑自己,想哭就大聲哭吧!然後開心瀟灑面對自己。</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
有理想遠見是件好事,但是不需要太過擔心未來而忘了珍惜最美好的“當下”。要找回戰勝自己的信心和勇氣,現在要尋找回失去的微笑!</div>
<div>

It has been almost eight month since I completed my studies in University. While everyone is busy completing their pupillage before being called to the bar, I am still happily having my looooong holidays. Many people do not really understand why I am wasting my time for those "nonsense".</div>

<br />
What is contentment? It is a state of being satisfied with what you have. I believe that we should bear in mind that there are always room for improvement even we are contended. After having a quality conversation with my friend today, I truly understand why kiwi lifestyle is so much different compared to most of the countries in the world.<br />
<br />
We used to live in a place that keep us from content with what we have. Everyone (including myself) has always influenced by surroundings or media to be demanding. For instance, when a girl look like celebrities, specific lifestyles, marry a rich man or earning more money then will make her very happy. What is the problems with us now?<br />
<br />
I never seen any youth in kiwiland (so far) using smartphone in comparison with most of my friends in Malaysia. You can see the rich kiwi wearing torn shirts and jeans like a normal people walking around the town, there is not much people carrying branded stuff in contrast with what we normally see in Asean countries. Kiwi (New Zealand people) are contented with what they are having now! It is the main factor that they have a longer lifespan and younger look!<br />
<br />
I think the main problem that we are all facing now is lack of self confidence. We often being brainwash in the materialistic world that money can buy happiness. The only method to overcome this problem is to do the human revolution in order to determine what we want in the life despite of other influences. It is important to differentiate what we "want" and what we "need".<br />
<br />
Frankly speaking, sometimes I will feel some disappointment after I came to kiwiland for 2 months. Unlike the stable working schedule as I expected, as a result I pokkai. Hahahaha. Then how can I save money to travel and to do the things I want as I imagined? Then we spent rest of our time/holidays rotting in a super small town to waste our working holidays.<br />
<br />
BUT wait, I am feeling happy right now although everything is out of my expectation. I never knew that the tiny mini small town that I am currently living is soooo beautiful espcially the wharf and beaches. It is more beautiful than anywhere else that I have visited so far.<br />
<br />
Moreover, I had bunch of lovely friends in the small town! A bestie or roomie that we share every moment together. A housemate who share with me many adventure stories. A super duper childish friend that have the power to cheer me up. A teacher that have many insightful thoughts. A blackface that can really smile and sharing his lessons with me. A pair of lovey dovey that can crazy with me. A bro that we can talk everything under the sun. A friend who is really eager to earn money. A bunch of cooking-mates that fattening together. And many kiwi ama/agong to crap and have fun! Look, I am really appreciate and thankful for what I have right now.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, I want create value and beautiful memories in my remaining two months in the beautiful kiwiland. Take my time to adventure, explore and discover :)<br />

<br />
然后就开始阅读新闻,才发现原来我们大选为全世界表演了精彩的魔术,可以把不可能变成可能!<br />
<br />
看到那么多新闻,照片,短片。我很伤心失落,眼泪不禁的掉下。我难过的不是哪一个政党赢了大选,而是我们政府为什么使了那么多肮脏手段呢?我感到无比羞耻。这不只让全世界看不起我们,更重要的是这给了年轻一代的我们一种错误的教育!到底公平正大还能打败势力和黑暗吗?我们可以向谁讨个公道,法庭法官律师真的会维持正义吗?<br />
<br />
我看到我们首相发布了"华人海啸"的言论,我的心如刀割。这届大选公正党回教党赢了44个国会议席,火箭党赢了36个议席。这证明了不只是华人希望看到改变,其他友族也想要改变!不是说好了一个大马,1Malaysia,不是说好大家一起和谐生活,不分你我的生活在我最爱的榴莲国土吗?为什么这场大选结果只是"华人"海啸呢?为什么要煽动种族课题呢?我希望这次经验能我们马来西亚人更团结!<br />
<br />
我和大家一样都想看到改变,给新政府一个机会,如果做不好下届可以再换,有竞争才有进步嘛!<br />
<br />
但我对换政府只抱着49%的期望,为什么呢?因为我身边很多马来同学都非常支持国阵。我们这小部分的中等生活阶级,专业人士当然希望看到改变。但不要忘记还有大部分的乡下的人民根本没机会接触电脑,没机会知道政府做了什么。还有一部分的中上阶级的人靠现在的政府吃饭。不同人有不同的立场,其实我们真的很渺小。但请不要忽视这渺小的力量,只要凝聚起来真的可以变成很强大的海啸!<br />
<br />
我知道我们这次改变而换来更肮脏腐败的政府。我知道大家很伤心,但毕竟胜负已经是个事实。我也在被单里窝了超过一小时,我在想我们到底除了在Facebook换黑色的大头像,不停抱怨,还有向联合国请愿,我们还能做什么呢?<br />
<br />
1.更强大的反对党<br />
<br />
我对政治党派等都一直保持中庸的态度。想要打倒现在的政府就要有很清晰的目标和信念。因为我看到的是一个很脆弱的反对党,还有很多内乱和信仰等问题存在。这是唯一让国阵一直死咬着不放的漏洞。<br />
<br />
不要临时抱佛脚。不要等到大选才搞campaign。现在就开始更关心人民,尤其是乡下的朋友们。让他们知道政府做了什么,让他们更了解我们国家!只要证明给人民看到强大的反对党,让我们更有信心成长,必定会有更多其他同胞想要ubah!<br />
<br />
2. 国际选举委员会<br />
<br />
看到了这次的手段,马来西亚真的需要一个完全不被政府控制的选举委员会!一个第三团体介入!不然我们国家将会变成哈里坡特的hogwarts魔法国界,根本都不需要大选了嘛!唰一下魔棒,又是同一个政府!<br />
<br />
3. 我们坚定的信念<br />
<br />
我很感动我们这次的大选投票率高达80%!虽然反对党输了,但这已经足足证明了人民的国民意识已经提升。我们已经开始成熟而不被牵着鼻子走。这可是迈向先进国的象征呀!<br />
<br />
这次大选也紧紧连着我们改变的决心!看到有些朋友对大马澈底失望,要移民,弃权公民等!醒来吧我亲爱的朋友们,这届大选的成绩并不是结束而是崭新的开始!要知道国家政府是不同的东西!我们的国家是个多么资源丰富,没有天灾的美丽国土。我相信只要我们还呼吸,就有可能换政府改变!<br />
<br />
国阵从2003年的198跌到2013的133个议席,所以不要放弃呀!改变并非一朝一夕,印度最伟大的领袖甘地可花了32年才取得独立呀!所以我们都要给大马一个机会改变!在法庭上诉都得花上10年,我们这五年很快就会过去!所以不要再说你要放弃马来西亚公民,移民,不投票,失望绝望等!<br />
<br />
只要有改变的信念,我们一定可以给我们下一代更好的榴莲国土!<br />
<br />
<br />

A chapter finish and a new chapter begins!<br />
<br />
Let me refresh what I have done in four years time.<br />
<br />
1.Enshrine Gohonzon<br />
I think this is the greatest thing I want to yell haha! I finally took up faith and courage to do it despite so many challenges. Just do it!<br />
<br />
2.Study<br />
No, I did not graduate with a first class degree :( I felt a little bit disappointed. But no worries, I have spent the time to explore and expose to many things other than just studying.<br />
<br />
3.Exchange and Travel.<br />
My uni has always filled of fun due to the frequent exchange to other countries such as UK, US, JPN. I love travelling. It can really reflect your character and tell you which path do you want to go in the future.<br />
2009-Japan<br />
2010-Uk,Belgium,Netherlands,Taiwan<br />
2011-Usa, Thailand<br />
2012-Korea<br />
2013-Philippine,NZ<br />
Many more places to explore, I need a good camera.<br />
<br />
4.Growth<br />
Yes no doubt I have grown up *physically?* Holy shit haha! I think I have grown up mentally as well. I don't care about the tiny mini things anymore. But, I am still a cry baby, this emotional problems is the big problems that I am trying to encounter. Determination, Focus and Meticulous is my main focus too.<br />
<br />
5. Friends<br />
Yes, I truly realized that how important friends are. QUALITY is outweigh QUANTITY for hundred times. Girlfriends,coursemates,golfmates,soka comrades,lecturer and my Family cum best friends. You are the best companion and support! Thank you so much!<br />
<br />
6. Inspirational<br />
Dare to Dream! There are so many things we can achieve by merely using our brain. Think about it and do not afraid of anything else. Then chant for it, do your best. I believe the best outcome will approach you naturally. Do not even care about others comments or criticism. Follow your heart if you think it is right. I learnt to put 100% effort in everything I do, however sometimes the "cincai" character can really help to ease your worries and stress. Ultimately, you will realize that your worries is nothing compared to other more important things happened in the world.<br />
<br />
7. Vow<br />
I hope to do my human revolution and hence kosen rufu. Read more to share with my blogger. I want to find out who I really are and do what I really excel. I believe practice makes perfect. Expand my potential in each and every beautiful day.<br />
<br />
I hope to find a good master in my pupillage that makes me realized who I am, to live my life to the fullest!<br />
<br />
<br />
Gonna spend few months to widen my horizon, human revolution and have fun! <br />
<br />
I'm all ready for New Zealand and it's my resolution to write at least 2 posts per week to share with y'all! Hehe ;) <br />
<br />
Can't wait for my new chapter! Bon voyage ;)<br />
