Random Mumblings V2

Hello Bloggers,

A quick sneak peek in the office while working. Gosh, I'm being so unproductive today. 2 hours since 8.00 am and I have done nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. I don't know if I am the only person who sometimes felt like this during working hours or anyone else also experienced the same things. I don't know.

Anyway, how's your CNY break? Despite the short break, I went back home at Ranau. 4 days, 3 night should be good enough to spend time with the family and friends. Most of the time, I stayed at home. Resting well cause I really really need it. Groceries shopping with the siblings, baking (I've improved my skills, yay!), cooking, house chores, went to church, dinner with the fam, short hangout with the friends & love and fellowship with the fam (mum's side and I've given chance to took part in the ministry which I am humbled and grateful). Less social network and live the moment. Holiday spent well and I thanked God for that.

So, I am back here in Brunei on last Tuesday. Back to reality and those reality does bites. My students were doing well with their assignments, everyone was on track except the few naughty one. Slide developer's task, only a little bit of progress (which stressed me lot), my study, I got 3 pending assignments to be submitted. T.T

Tapiiii, nda apa, "With God Nothing Is Impossible" - Luke 1:37, the verse that I've shared with them during the fellowship. What's the purpose of I'm sharing it if I am not applying it in my own life, not walking my talk. Right? 

Alright, I should back to work, I've expressed everything that I need to in here. No photo cause I'm lazy to upload. Haha. Till' then.

XOXOX,

Lunch Box!

Lunch-box today :)

Hello bloggers, I'm sneaking out to update my blog for a while during office hours. Huehuehue. Well, I got full class this morning, so the rest of this afternoon gotta finished those paperwork. Back to topic, my lunch box. Haha, sudden urge to share this matter for today. I've been practicing to eat clean since few months ago. I disciplined myself to eat properly from Monday to Friday and Weekend will be my cheat dayssss. But still controllable amount of cheat. Haha. Therefore, as for today I packed white rice, boiled vege and boiled (then pan-fried with olive oil) chicken. Put a little bit of Heinz Bbq Sauces and sprinkles few black-peppers+salt. Done. Simple and quick and suited my taste.

Till then bloggers.
XOXOX

New Commitment

Hello bloggers,

Last working day for this week, yayy! Few more hours then I'll fly back to KK again for my cousin's wedding. Uhh, can't wait..can't wait.. running away from this sick environment for a while. It's only the second week of 2016 and I feel demotivated already. 

Here's the thing, after postponing it for about a year, by the grace of God I became student again, another yayy! I've enrolled in MBA courses in OUM. Just registered last week at KK Learning Centre and I've attended the briefing for post-grad students as well. I've picked fully-online method to study because it'll cost me a lot if I have to go back and forth to KK every weekend to attend the lecture. Another reason it'll cost me a lot, I am paying all the fees by myself. I have to cut my budget on shopping and any unnecessary stuff. *menangis dulu*. Beside that, oleh kerana saya bekerja sambil belajar, I think that the fully online method is the best for me. So, how I'm gonna juggle my time? By having a proper and discipline time management. Have to endure it for 2 years. Oh God. T.T *demimu sekeping ilmu*. But somehow, I am happy  and simply grateful for this new commitment and can't wait to start cause I got all my textbooks already in this first semester. 

But that's not the reason I feel demotivated. It's a work related issues. Besides conducting lecture here in this college, I am grateful actually that they have entrusted me to get involved in implementing a new course in this college as a slide developer. The thing is, it is not easy. "This unit guide is crazy", as per my colleague. Since last week, I've been struggling to finish it and I have 6 topics over due. It's really really stressing me out till the point it affect my emotion and eating habits. I've to get ready for my lecture in class, then conduct the lecture, guide the students in their assignment andddddd get back into this slide developer thingy. Ohh, I need a refresh button. 

Hoping that this weekend getaway will refresh me. Enjoy your weekend :)

H.a.p.p.y N.e.w Y.e.a.r 2016

Warmest new years' greetings for everyone! Wishing you all a fruitful and blessed year ahead. Finally I can spare some time to update my blog. Super tight and hectic schedule during Christmas. Gosh. How I wish I have a longer holidays. 

Well, what I can say about 2015, if I were asked one word to describe it, my answer would be 'DYNAMIC'. Yes, 2015 was indeed a dynamic year for me. Going through a long time awaited break-up, breakthrough at workplace and my personal life, done things that I never experienced before and so much more. Ups and down, that's normal I think.  

For 2016, I can just smile. I don't know how, but one thing for sure;

"God's blessings will overtake you- Deuteronomy 28:1"

Amen. 

New Year's gift from me to myself.
