You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Reading Marathon


Wow. These few days have been the best. I have nothing to do. No work, no projects, it is beginning to bother me. I usually take 1 day off work and school when I am too busy and I feel like I am about to break down. I call this my Mental Health Day. I do not remember taking any Mental Health Day this year, perhaps I took it sometime after practicum, just to keep myself sane. Usually I will spend the day doing nothing, maybe some cleaning and reorganisation, shopping. But mostly, I like to sleep. I love to sleep, who doesnt? Haha. But sleeping well not only rejuvenates oneself, it also helps to keep one alert so that one can perform better in daily tasks.

A taste of what Diamond lifestyle is like? Maybe.

On Wednesday, as usual, it is always a blast when Munir shows the plan. I was just talking to Naf about it, if I find a husband like Munir, I am sure to go DD in 6 months! Haha. Anyway, I think Sarimah and Munir are meant for each other. I learnt so much from this quiet lady, still water does run deep.

Before the open meeting, Naf and myself had the luxury of eating our favourite Ayam Penyet! Yay! Coincidently there was a Big Bookshop sale at Lucky Plaza so being bookworms we were there to browse around. Out of a sudden, Naf decides that she was going to get some books there. What was funny was, when she asked for which book to buy first:

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad
2. Think and grow rich

I could not make the choice! Both books are sooo awesome and I could not decide which one she should read first. In the end I went with Rich Dad Poor Dad as it was also one of the very first books that I read when I entered the system.

We were also pleasantly suprised to receive our BOM and SOT. Another book to read! Yay! My bookshelf is getting more crowded, its almost like Nuruls bookshelves, but dont worry, my shelves are not collapsing- yet!

The next day, I was jealous when Naf message me early in the morning about how awesome the current BOM is. This book, Freedom From Fear was quite thin and I thought of pausing the current book, for this BOM. Her message triggered me and I started reading the book the same night. Guess what, by 1 am, I finished the book! It was hard to even put the book down, I love the fact that the book is simple and sraightforward.

I learn so many things from the book. One of the main pointers that I got was about reading and journaling.

The palest ink is better than the strongest memory.

Journals provide opportunities for reflection, serious thought, objectivity and real learning of oneself. It is one of the finest disciplines and personal development tools available and yet not one man in 100 will invest the time, the discipline, the effort to capture his thoughts on paper.

It was only then that I realise how much reading and writing has impacted me. I wonder if the current blogging equivalets to writing on paper. Nevertheless, this book has insprired me to start writing my own journal, so that I can capture my thoughts on paper when inspriation comes. I cannot remember the countless times when I wanted to write about a particular incident and end up writing about something else altogether! I think I owe it to myself to stay focus.

I look forward to the next few days! Have a great weekend!
