A new something to gain

The last few days have been eye opening. Striving to stay sane and functional over a boss whom I really have trouble coping up emotionally with, I started reading The Art of Public Speaking by Carnegie. I realized about a week ago that the real problem is not so much of my boss being who she is, it's more of me being less than who I should be; strong willed and highly a survivor. I truly have sort of lost those traits I have been known for. I figured, if only I can express my ideas better and get my thoughts across like a pro that I am, my days at work won't be too depressing. And yesterday in Popular bookstore, I found a great book: The art of arguing, powerfully, persuasively, positively. Flipped through several pages and there, exactly the guide I should have close to me. It was quite pricey though at RM74 so I didn't buy it. Right when I reached my tablet, googled around and double whammy, found a link where I could download the ebook for free. I love this life. And earlier today, I finally managed to finish reading another wonderful answering every questions I have about my lack luster of a life, "Your Greatest Power" by J. Martin Kohe. It's about the power to choose....I vow to at least think less of me as a hopeless dude from now on. God save me...I love my life!

Yes oh Yes.....it happened again. But I am luckier this time around. Last time it happened at the highway near Sungei Besi, this time just at the UKM roundabout; merely about 30 meters from the workshop. And to think that I usually take the other way home, the trunk road where there will be no workshop in sight. I would have to wait for hubby to come and wait for tow truck etc etc. If it were to happen at any other time, maybe in 2 days' time when I need to fetch my daughter from her hostel, or when I'm on my way to office in the morning, or when I'm about to go for meetings.....SO I am just so very thankful that Allah have mercy on me again, He let it happen at that particular time after He led me to take that particular road. And I am so glad that I've performed my Asr before leaving office,...I usually race home first. Alhamdulillah ...for the good, for the bad and everything in between. Allah knows best. grateful to get the above from http://ummhayaa.com So ...

Hahaha Time to write again after so long. I've missed updating on the new year what-so-ever. No big deal right! Things are so not the way they used to be now that I am past 40. This is a drag that is a huge disappointment these are bigtime boring events and so on. Is this normal? My work the usual lacklustre daily chores. My hubby working almost round the clock totally adds to all these yards of boredom. Well fine, let's try to write about something new. I was kind of duped again into believing that a pyramid scheme based in the USA can actually make me financially independent. Kehx3 serves me right. But I totally believed that they have sellable products. This is the first reason why I thought I have made the right decision. It's selling vacation packages at super low prices, something they brand as sizzle weeks. However, these amazingly prized treats are actually not suitable for the common people of this region. That's because the weeks on saleis usually for vvacati...
