I want more of that health, I want more of that wealth, I want more of that patience, I want more of that intelligence, I want more of that creativity, I want more of that laughter, I want more of that energy, I want more of life, I know it can give me that, I am in the process of getting them.

The Wuhuuu Entry

Why wuhuing? We have been told countless times to count our blessings and forget our sorrows right? I am counting them now. I am grateful to have him at my side the whole time (though he could just walk away and spare himself the emotional, erm MY emotional outburts). Thank you babe!

It's Ramadan Al Mubarak again! The atmosphere just feels different, kan? Everything moves at the normal pace, but I feel a lot calmer and happier. The days and nights of Ramadan are truly blessed. Alhamdulillah.

My editor, whose optimistic outlook on life, is an inspiration to me, is now our partner. She was so taken by the French spa that the company offers, not to mention the prospect of meeting new people and the confidence that many of our young partners exude, that after a brief introduction, she sealed her consent. Thank you kak! You're a real morale booster.

My sister, is now a few months pregnant and will be delivering a baby boy, InsyaAllah, to the world in December, as is my sister-in-law, whose expecting her fourth bundle of joy and a third son. Yup, the Nasri's clan will have more boys than girls by the looks of things.

I received my RM350 worth of French signature skincare products after winning the second place in the SMS contest organised by the company. And the winners will be featured in the next company's newsletter. The law of attraction DOES work!

I've started going back to the gym and today was my second session and I feel so good (though after the work out I felt a little dizzy). But still, it's good! Can't wait for the next session, come Saturday.

This is one of the songs I listen to while working out. Kick ass!

What Do I Get In Return?

One damn good question when one wants to pursue any new venture. Nobody willingly accept failures, right?. If I'm right, don't hate me (but don't hesitate if you want to), if you think I'm wrong, go ahead smirk, but allow me to smile. Because I know people who readily admit defeat, after putting a lame fight.

When embarking on new ventures, please look beyond the monetary aspect. At this time and age, we are so in need of a strong self that money, though very important, can never outweigh the search for a better self. In order to win the challenges that life throws into my path, I need to have a stronghold of values.

Yes, my elders have done their job in laying a good foundation but it's now up to me to make it better. I've realised I was always aiming for a comfortable life, great partner (this I know I have :D), wonderful friends (and these), good career etc but never wanting a good self, thinking having those mentioned will make me a good person. What I learnt these few months really put that thought to shame.

How can I think such shallow thoughts? Because that's what have been drummed into my head since forever? To change how my mind thinks is no easy feat and I'm very sure I wouldn't want to think and act differently if it's not for the self help talks and books I've been attending and reading or for the real life experiences shared by the new friends I've met. This wonderful venture allows me rethink alot of things.

Yes, that initial question is an all important question. In return I've got more than a considerable amount of money.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My Problem Area

Shopping for pants has always been a problem for me. I'm sure there is a perfect size for me somewhere out there. Yet I still dread it. The mirror in the fitting rooms are good at telling me how unattractive I look. But the International Members Exchange (IME) of my business network will be held this Sunday at Sunway Lagoon resort and I guess a long skirt is not the way to go. I decided to go shopping today with him. I did tell him that I hate shopping for pants but I guess he did not expect me to break down and cry after the purchase.Yes I cried.That's how weird I can get.Only I understand the pain.

Anyway, I know I'm going to have loads and loads of fun at the biggest party ever held in Sunway Lagoon Resort, where it will be closed to public for one whole day! Yes, and Search will be performing that night.Wild eh?

And another thing, I won the second prize for the SMS contest that the company organised. Hehe, I won babe I won! YATA! (Though I still don't know the meaning of this word)

When Confused, Seek Help...

When I decided to take this chance to change my life, there was no indication whatsover of how difficult it would be. Two months into the business I felt so worn out and wanted to just hide under the bed and cry. I did for the whole month. He suffered along. But the selfish me didn't want to acknowledge that. I sought refuge in the books we bought. His love and the wisdom the books impart urged me to buck up and take control of the situation. Well, I did.

Now one of our partners is facing a great challenge of his own. And he seems want to give it all up. I'm very sad yet I understand what he's going through. When you think you don't get all the support that you need, you tend to think it's not worth doing. That it's so much easier to just let everything go and go back the way you were. Just remember, if obstacles were so easy to overcome, they wouldn't be called 'obstacles' were they? It's supposed to be hard, because successful people who faced real hardships and conquered them last longer than those who are 'successful' by virtue of their surnames. And these tough people turn out to be a real gem, looked upon by thousands of people.

This is a reminder to my partners as well as a reminder to self. Seek and you will find.




Adik-adik, you have all the support from us!
