you're the one for me >>
but I do not know who and where you are........... < ">

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.

Having faith



You See the World Through Blue Colored Glasses



You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time.

You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion.

You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and you have the confidence to see problems through.

You see love as the utmost expression of trust. Your relationships tend to be peaceful and stable.

At your worst, you can be cool, melancholy, and detached. You sometimes have to step back from emotionally charged situations.

You are at your happiest when you are able to reflect and relax.




I love Saturdays. Mostly because its usually my Mental Health Day of the week. My Sundays are usually busier so I really appreciate some time I have on my own. This has not been the case for a few Saturdays as events always happens on Saturdays. This week, being the first week of Ramadhan has been hectic but fruitful. I am so happy that I was able to perform the terawih prayers on all non meeting days. It really requires discipline, especially on working days when I can be up since 4.30 am so by 8.30 pm, I am already falling asleep. That was why I made sure I had that cup of coffee before open meeting on Wed so that I can pay attention 100%.

Finally! The CPD session went smoothly yesterday. I was early but except for rearranging the chairs, there was not much to do. It was messy when people started coming and the registration paper is missing and I was a little agitated. However, when the person finally came, I saw Adeline and how forgiving she was, I thought I should probably take things a little easier.

It was so good to see all the SNOs! I see so many faces and it was great. I have not seen most of them for a long time especially those from Phase 2. Of course I was looking forward to seeing them, and of course too, there are others whom I would rather not see. Haha! Nevertheless, I thought the Phase 3 SNOs were so much more positive than we were and that we desperately needed to learn how to be positive again.

I also hope that people would benefit from that small sharing. I thought I spoke a little too fast but I was glad that I could be myself and as usual when I am talking, I expect people to laugh at the well meaning jokes because I was already feeling sleepy when I was about to go up. To prevent myself from feeling sleepy, I had to amuse myself ;)

Still, I thought it went well. I knew that I had 2 presentations for the day and guess what? I was so much more excited to be doing promotions at PASE! For a few reasons, HM, the host really edified me before calling me up and that already made me feel really great! Secondly, the clap and cheers of the Britt team (perhaps about 40 - 50 people) were much much louder and more exciting than all the SNOs clap (about 130 people in the hall)! Guess where I would rather be?!

Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself and I must thank all those who came personally to me and thank me for the sharing. Some also hoped to sit in my next PSG meeting, just to see how it goes. Its really a team effort, not me. Even if I am the best SNO in the world, without a team behind me, I am nothing.

After the long day, headed to An Nadhah for breaking of fast. It was hilarious when Fidah opened the wrong door to the mosque, gosh, I couldnt stop laughing. I mean, the other entrance was not closed at all! Haha, just having fun, thats what I do.

I thought last night's PASE was one of the most emotional PASE. I CANNOT see people cry. I will follow suit, especially when the poem was recited, it was very emotional for most of us. It is not the mountain we conquer. It is ourselves. I have learnt, through hard times that all bad things will eventually end, and I shall take comfort that it will. Therefore I shall continue to strive to make things better than it already is, simply because I know that an even greater reality can exist for my future.

Never ever give up without a fight. At the end of the day, all you need is a little faith to help you get through to the next step. This message from me is especially for some of you, I know, are facing challenges. Whatever it is, understand that challenges are to overcomed and that no one in the history of time was able to be successful without going through challenges.

This is the month. I am going to do whatever it takes to make it happen. I simply ask that you have a little faith in me even if you have no faith in yourself.

Keep the faith.
