Pagi Isnin Yang Indah

It is Monday and I am now sipping my hazelnut white coffee while browsing through the web.

Good thing does happen sometimes huh?

I woke up with a 3 day-old pain but decided to went to DSH for a check up because I got worried when the pain just wont go away. I was given a 3 days straight MC because of my not-so-sakit-but-need-tons-of-rest-illness by the doctor. (after leaving me with a hefty RM300++ bill, no wonder he was so kind to give me 3 days leave).

I am so fucking dead if the husband find out about the bill. Pagi tadi dia pesan pergi cari clinic pakar dekat-dekat rumah je tapi I end up kat DSH. hehe. Sorry bukan tak cari tapi tak jumpa. betullll...... Lagipun ni klinik pakar dekat rumah la ni.. I tak tipu you...

Tapi betul la. Sometimes (selalu jugak) we tried to jimat and went to klinik biasa or so-called specialist yang tepi jalan tu tapi selalu nasib tak baik eventually kena jugak mengadap doctor charge mahal nak mampos kat DSH tu. So konon nak jimat then try pergi clinic biasa end up kena byr double pulak. Maybe it is just not our luck.

The funny thing is, since we got married, myself and Rania dah kena admitted sekali, and berkali-kali visit DSH for treatment, while the husband, who actually have to pay the bills sekali pun tak pernah sakit. hehe.

Okey back to the subject. I am so happy sebab sakit ini datang on-time. I still got tons of things to settle with the lawyers and banks regarding our home. And asking for a leave at my company is same as asking for a raise. They just don't get it that we have other things to do in life other than working.

So, I have to make an appointment with the lawyers but my phone is dead and I left the charger in my office. Stupid! I have oher phone but it is not a 3G phone, and my sim card kena guna 3G phone only. Double stupid!

On the way back form the hospital, I decided to take a quick stop at One Utama to buy a charger tapi phone pelik saya tu kedai dah tak jual charger dia. Pergi Nokia, the original charger will cost RM108! Pergi la mampus.

Solution?

Lepak kat OU. On laptop. Surf internet lagi bagusss....

Adakah saya menggunakan peluang cuti yang diberikan ini dengan penuh manfaat??

Nota Kaki: Ada siapa-siapa nak buat lunch appointment ngan I? hehe

Saya baru saja buat salah besar, baru saja diketawakan oleh orang yang paling rapat dengan saya, dan baru saja lepas menangis.

Betul kata kasya, bukannya nama hidup kalau tak ada cabaran dan dugaan.

Tapi kenapa biasanya kita selalu elak dari menghadapi cabaran tu?

Biasanya bila kita mula cuba buat something, mesti akan ada cacat cela. Mesti akan ada salah dan silap punya. Bukan semua benda akan falls into places like we plan. Tapi biasanya bila kita buat silap, kita mula rasa menyesal kenapa kita buat benda tu at 1st place. Then kita back-off. Putus asa dan berazam tak nak lagi buat benda yang sama sebab takut buat salah lagi.

Sounds familiar?


Kadang-kadang kita dah plan baik-baik. Dah buat research cukup-cukup tapi sebab hilang fokus sekejap kita terbuat salah. Nak buat macam mana. Menyesal tak sudah? Jangan... terus cuba lagi. This time fokus dan buat yang terbaik. Learn from that mistakes, dengan izin Allah semua akan okey.

Kadang-kadang kita dah plan baik jugak, dah cukup fokus, dah buat semua research tapi jadi jugak masalah. Memang macam tu, kadang-kadang teori ni lain dari hands on experience. Yang penting berani cuba dan belajar dari silap tu. Lain kali jgn ulang silap yang sama.

Dan anggap juga kalau dah tak jadi sangat tu mungkin bukan rezeki kita.. Cuba lagi lain kali, mana tahu ada rezeki?

Biasanya silap dan salah yang melibatkan duit ni yang paling kita takut. Takut sangat nak buat apa-apa kaitan dengan duit. When it comes about money, people shut their mouth. Praying hard that everything will be ok. Tapi selagi kita bersikap macam tu, sampai bila-bila pun kita akan tetap di tahap tu.

Saya tak kata orang yang seek security ni tak bagus.. ada orang hidup cukup makan pakai dan puas hati.. Dapat BMW sebijik, rumah sebijik, dapat bagi anak-anak the best education dah puas hati. Itu pendapat masing-masing. Rezeki masing-masing. Hidup masing-masing.

Tapi yang saya tak suka bila orang anggap those who makes mistakes are losers. Ramai je yang bila dengar kisah kejatuhan/kesilapan seseorang (and they enjoy listening to it) bersyukur sebab diorang bukan di tempat mereka. They will start saying "Tu la I dah cakap benda ni risky. Nasib baik I tak buat" Lebih-lebih lagi bila melibatkan duit.

Padahal, they fail to realised that unlike them, that particular person learning something new the day they make that mistakes. If only they know how to turn the mistakes to be the best things happen to them.

Siapa yang rapat dengan saya mesti tahu betapa banyak salah dan silap saya dah buat sepanjang hidup saya. Ada yang ketawa. Ada kata padan muka. Ada juga yang besyukur mereka bukan saya. Ada yang kata saya bodoh. Ada yang kata saya loser.

Ada saya kesah? Hehe.. Adala sikit.. Kadang-kadang (selalu) saya nangis jugak. Tipula kalau saya kata tak terasa.

Unlike them, saya banyak buat mistakes. Tapi saya tahu saya buat mistakes bukan sebab saya bodoh atau loser. Tapi sebab saya berani venture into things yang mereka semua takut. They don't make mistakes because they don't dare to do the things I did at 1st place. 

Kalau kita baca the stories of sucsessfull people, kita tak sedar sebenarnya in order utk dia berjaya dia dah harungi macam-macam benda. Dia pun dah buat salah. Dia tak kan berjaya kalau the moment dia buat salah dia putus asa dan bersumpah tak nak buat lagi.

Do you know how many times Thomas Edison failed before he can invented the light bulb?

So don't limit yourself just because you hit a barrier. Try to overcome it. Change your environment. Be with someone who is supportive. Like me, I am fortunate to have such a wonderfull supportive husband to remind me how special I am each time I make a mistake. Change the way you think. At least you have the courage to try. And look for the best in everything instead of quitting and complaining.

I always remind myself with this word each time I feel like quitting. I found it from one of Robert Kiyosaki book. "You can always quit, why start now?"

I maybe miles away from sucsess that I seek. But at least I am climbing my way there. I may fall again. Hundreds or thousands of times more. I just hope that someday I'll pass you. And you don't have the reason anymore to laugh or look down at me.

NotaKaki: Saya dah nak mula langkah baru. 



Auction?

No....

I am not going to tell story about the house that we bought.
Cliche. Not relevant.

I want to share with you guys how to buy an auction property.
I am no expert. Refer to my blogroll, he is thousand time much more expert than myself.

But sorry, it will not be in this post.
I will post the entry when I am fully ready.
Takmau la share ilmu sesat kan...
Nanti jadi ketam ajar anak jalan lurus pulak.

I found my soul inside your pocket.

For years I was soul searching, I was confused and sometimes depressed with my life. Finally now I have found my interest, my goal, and most important thing is my soul.

I always hate my job because I always feel like I am not good with it. And it bore me to death! Back in school, I was not a math geek. In fact, I choose to be in an accounting line just because I did not qualify to be in a science stream back then. My school was so strict with grading the student. Me, not wanting to create any trouble (padahal sronok sebab ramai kawan amek accounting), and taknak pindah sekolah lain just settle for the 2nd best (bak kata orang la budak kelas art ni tak pandai.. yeke??).

But I know now, I don't hate what I am doing. I just hate being stuck in the traffic every morning and glued in front of the monitor with my right hand trying to record & consolidate other people's wealth and my left hand is busy tapping the calculators to make sure they maximize their wealth and minimized their tax.

It suck you know.

My 3 years work experience show me you can't be rich by minding other people's business.
No matter how richer you make them.

So, for the pass 1 and a half years back, I was (and still are) actively doing research about wealth.
The more I dig, the more I am interested in, and more I realised that i am actually applying all my knowledge in finance and accounting, (the thing that i do for living that I was constantly claim I hate the most) and I am really enjoy doing it! In fact, it gives me advantages in many ways.

So now, I'm sure that the path I'm choosing by default is the right path for me. For the first time in my life, I am thankful for the path chosen for me, and the process I went through, and the knowledge I picked in between.

Just that it took me 3 years and a mountain of life changing mistakes to make me realised that.
