Bloody Gecko!

Aaaarrrghhhh......! There is a medium size of 'see-through', slimy look alike, disgusting gecko in the house!

I saw it leaning on my bedroom's ceiling....just right on top of the bed, a few minutes ago. Huhuhu.... and Andrew is not around now. Have to wait for him...before I can sleep.

Hate it!!

My Brain

It balanced! Wish I was more of right brained, though....


You Are 50% Left Brained, 50% Right Brained


The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Manajemen Stress

Bukan berat Beban yang membuat kita Stress,tetapi lamanya kita memikul beban tersebut. (By Stephen Covey)

Pada saat memberikan kuliah tentang ManajemenStress, Stephen Covey mengangkat segelas air dan bertanya kepada para siswanya: "Seberapaberat menurut anda kira segelas air ini?"Para siswa menjawab mulai dari 200 gr sampai 500 gr. "Ini bukanlah masalah berat absolutnya,tapi tergantung berapa lama anda memegangnya." kata Covey.

"Jika saya memegangnya selama 1 menit, tidakada masalah. Jika saya memegangnya selama 1 jam, lengan kanan saya akan sakit. Dan jika saya memegangnya selama 1 hari penuh, mungkinanda harus memanggilkan ambulans untuk saya.Beratnya sebenarnya sama, tapi semakin lama saya memegangnya, maka bebannya akansemakin berat."

"Jika kita membawa beban kita terus menerus, lambat laun kita tidak akan mampu membawanya lagi. Beban itu akan meningkat beratnya." lanjutCovey.

"Apa yang harus kita lakukan adalah meletakkan gelas tersebut, istirahat sejenak sebelum mengangkatnya lagi". Kita harus meninggalkan beban kita secara periodik, agar kita dapat lebih segar & mampu membawanya lagi. Jadi sebelum pulang ke rumah dari pekerjaan sore ini, tinggalkan beban pekerjaan. Jangan bawa pulang. Beban itu dapat diambil lagi besok. Apapun beban yang ada dipundak anda hari ini, coba tinggalkan sejenak jika bisa. Setelah beristirahat nanti dapat diambil lagi.

....... Hmm.... memang gampang buat bikin teori seperti ini. Sayapun setuju 100% dengan ide bahwa kita harus dapat meninggalkan beban kehidupan kita secara periodik supaya hidup terasa enteng, normal, dan tidak terlalu stress. Si Pak Covey memberikan cara untuk me-manage stress dengan perumpamaan yang cukup baik.

Tapi sebenarnya sangat tidak mudah untuk dipraktekkan di dunia nyata. Kita,.. atau terutama saya (*grin*) lebih cenderung untuk memikirkan diri sendiri. Bahkan kadang (kadang2 aja looh) merasa jadi orang paling menderita sedunia. (hihihi).... Kadang saya berpikir.... c'mon... cheer up. Don't be spoiled, Don't be silly. Masih banyak orang lain yang lebih menderita dan kurang beruntung di dunia ini. Kelaparan, ketakutan, kesakitan, dll..... Beban, stress, dan kekesalan yang saya rasakan tidak ada apa-apanya dibandingkan mereka. But true, I have to learn more to Live, Love, Laugh, and be Happy with what you have had, and with what God has given. Life is short, use and enjoy it. Take it easy and less stress, please!

Hmmm you know what,.. won't be harm if I start the day with SMILE and say HAPPY MORNING to the person lay down next to me (which is my bigbaby, of course) every morning. :D

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

ISTJ

Check out the result of my personality test! Did it just for fun,.. but the result is actually quite accurate :D..... Not sure what ISTJ mean, though... anyone know ??



You Are An ISTJ

The Duty Fulfiller

You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.
You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knittings.
Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you.
Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy.

You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.

Sick & Knit

Uuughhh.... not feeling well.... its the time when i'll be in bed all day.... stuffy head, heavy eyes, blocked and runny nose, sore throat, nausea.... oooh so much in pain....! *grin* Well, actually not that bad. But still,... not fun to be sick, especially on weekend. :(

Anyway, I'm in to knitting now. A beginner, genuinely autodidact. Learned from books and internet. Seriously, very difficult to learn without anyone teach and show you how. It gets me maaad!! But after several times of trial and error, I (think) I am now can do Cast On, Knit Stitch, and Purl Stitch. :D. I think I held the needles in a wrong way, though because sometimes it slips or fell off. But I'm pretty happy with the result. I will be more happy if I can make something with it. I can't wait! I have some ideas of what I want to make... but I just dont know how!! So annoying... We'll see in a couple of months...... either I'll make progress, or I'll sick of it and give up. :D
