Gratitude and Appreciation

The months of getting paycheck to paycheck has kept me busy but most importantly has helped built my character in the real world. It's not all shine and glory but it has its moments where I'm proud of.

In the year 2018, I decided that I had to leave something behind and till this day (or any other day before this post is published), I thought to myself, 'Was that the right thing to do?'. I got a lot of support from my partner and I know that it will take some time for me to adjust back into society. I wasted no time in looking for jobs and felt that I might not be good enough when it comes to working but everyone has to start from somewhere.

I told myself that working in the sales line would be the fastest way to learn something and I set my sights on jobs that had sales in the job scope. I got a job but that was short lived as there were internal factors that hinders my progression or not being able see myself in that company that would help in my growth. As a result, I sent my resignation letter and that was the end of that chapter. I opened a new chapter when I started working in telecommunication company which was also sales and might I I add, the company provided the much needed exposure, training and work ethics that I found to be much useful even outside of work.

If there were things I would recall on how I changed after joining my current team was that I learnt to be;

1. Accountable
2. Responsible
3. Gratitude
4. Appreciative
5. Optimistic
6. Tolerable towards others which includes those that need much patience and attention

There are many others I would like to list but its at the tip of my tongue situation whereby it's there but I can't recall.

Additionally, the abundance of experiences and moments were memorable too and I realized that most graduates are not fond of looking for jobs outside of their comfort zone. Comfort zone revolves around the education they received in their respective colleges or universities. In retrospect, it shapes the person to be a soft bubble that does not recognize the meaning of desperation.

I actually am grateful with the job opportunity given because with the knowledge and skills I gained from my current workplace, it directly made me marketable. I've turned down many job opportunities after gaining said skillsets because I felt that I have not gained the leverage to properly negotiate and job hopping does not shade a beautiful color on my resume.

I suppose this is it for now and here I thought there would be more I could write (actually just pictures to add) but I can't think of any currently.

Sex, Guns and Words: EXTRA 3: First year

“I’m sorry Abdullah .” he shot the man with his silencer barrel pistol. Two shots were shot. He dragged the body back on the bed. His hand bloodied and deep down he felt guilty about it but he knew it had to be done. He takes out his phone and speeds dial to an unknown number, “The owl is now in a cage.” The receiver from the other end replied, “Affirmative agent. Rendezvous at the designated location.” He throws the phone away outside the window. He makes way onto the main deck with the rest of his belongings. He prepares his escape with the ship’s safety boat. He once again stares at the gun and tries to accept the situation that he has killed a person. He took a life away. “If you cannot fix a person then don’t hurt the person.” his father said. He keeps the gun and throws away the thought of his father’s advice. ‘I am now and not before’ as he sails away from the cargo ship.

Mythology of Borneo / Sabah - Mount Kinabalu [Part 1]

Information on the picture: it is drawn by Yeng Kiat [ source ] Mount Kinabalu’s (Malay:  Gunung Kinabalu ) [pronounced ki-na-bah-lu] name is a mystery to this day even among the locals. Because to each family, and to each person living in the state of Sabah the origin of the mountain’s name have their own different meaning. However, there is a common derivation of the name from the Kadazan words that is well known among the people of Sabah (mind you, the Kadazans aren’t the Dusuns, and the Dusuns aren’t the Kadazans, and there is an abundance of people living in the state),  Aki Nabalu , meaning ‘the revered place of the dead’. The local Kadazandusuns believe that when they pass away, their spirits will climb the mountain top and dwell there. Sir Hugh Low , a British colonial administrator and naturalist made the first documneted ascent to Kinabalu and he reported that his Kadazandusun guide carried an assortment of charms such as pieces of wood, human teeth, and other
