A True Friend

          In our life there is so many people passing by, walking in and out from us. We make so many friends in our life journey, but to really find and meet a special friend it's hard. A special friend to me would be someone that comes into my life and actually changes my life just by being a part of it. Someone who gives me a smile all the time and able to makes me laugh until can't stop. Someone who makes me to believe that there really is good sights in this world and convinces me that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for me to open it no matter what.

Ever since we met, I've known that there is something special there. Even though we had known each other only a short time, the way we talk and laugh around each other is totally different than everyone else. I knew that it's really rare to meet someone I can trust as much as I trust u. And I think for most of the people out there, they might have to search their whole life time to find what we've already found - which is forever friendship. When I'm down and the world seems dark and empty, you lifts and light me up in spirit, makes that dark and empty world suddenly seems bright and full. You're always here to go through my hard times, my sad times and also the confused times.

I know that if I have turn and walk away, you will be there guide and cheer me on. On that moment.. I knew found " A True Friend ". I felt really happy and complete because I doesn't need to worry or afraid. From this moment, I knew I have a forever friend and forever has no end.

~ Mes Mémoires "2014" ~

Couldn't believe just another 2 more days to go and it's 2015!
Last year, I wrote about how I expected on my Journey of "2014". My goals & achievement from my career wise, my life & leisure, and a year that will be full of "LIFE"- Love, Inspiration, Freedom and Eternity.

Throughout the year, I've been through some twist and turn, ups and downs, in happiness and in sorrow. And because of all this experience and life lessons that I've been through, I understand that life teaches us how to live, to survive and move forward with hopes and dreams. Recently.. something special had happened and it has turned into the best highlights of the year and that has made me think a bit more about what my moments of 2014 has been and the supports I got.

January : It is the start of the year and it is also the time for me to have my goals set for the year on my career. As usual as the previous year I'm always have the same goals and achievement that I wanted to achieved. My goals set will be included My Personal Goals, My Academic Goals, and My Career Goals. There is so much for my self aiming this year and I know that there will be loads of hard work for me to put into it and the challenged that I will be accepting. I'm totally ready and it is time for me to fill up my 365 blank pages this year with full of flows and colours.

March : The first trip of the year.. a short run-away to London with my "Brother-Joshua". It is the first time he visited Ireland and I've decided to just to bring him around some of the neighbour country to visit before he started his journey that he had planned for himself. I still remember back to our old days.. as we always say it was our childhood time.. Flashing back some of the old memories and I notice there is so much changes between us now. Life really do move and things changed all the time while we were growing up.  In this short break, I'm really happy and the time we spent together is just so priceless. it just seems like we are back to our old childhood days.


April : Throughout these months of hard work in office without any break .. I'm totally exhausted from all the stressed and work from the office as well as my personal issues.  I knew I need a break for myself and surprisingly at this time, someone that have not been in touch for ages and get in touch with me and I was informed by her that she will be moving soon from Australia to Florence. So I've decided to have a trip to Italy-Florence to meet up with her.  I've planned for my journey to Florence and by the mean time when I'm there I've also explored to some other parts in Italy : Sienna, Venice & Pisa.  During this trip I've really enjoyed and pampered my self with the amazing food & wine's. " Io amo l'Italia così tanto ❤ ".  I'm totally refreshed and ready to be back to work.


May : Another short-escaped around the mid year has arrived. Me and my colleague has recently discussed to take a long week-end break to one of the Europe's most romantic country which is : France - "Paris".  I knew that it was not my first time travelling to Paris.. but I'm asking myself would it be a bit weird for 2 girls heading to Paris .. Hmm.. but my colleague said it will be her first time in Paris so.. I've decided to go ahead with this trip with her. Even though it was a short weekend break but it is worth it after all.


November '14 : This is the month of the most down and sorrow part of my life throughout the year. The incident happened back in the early stage of the month where my mom accidentally fell from the stairs while she is doing something by her own. She never inform us anything about the fall and we all thought that there is nothing major. But things started to change from that night. She started to felt sick but she manage to sleep through the night. She then turned very ill for the next couple of days and we still haven't manage to notice that it was actually the internal bleeding cause from the fall that made her sick. Thing's started to changed and getting nervous. I almost had a breakdown when I received a long distance call form my sister informing me that my mom is committed to the ICU and went for an immediate brain surgery due to the internal bleeding "Blood Clot" in her brain. My heart totally sank and I had no time to digest the news but just had to agreed for the operation. I have no idea what I'm doing at that moment but I know I have to be tough and stay strong. I couldn't managed my work on that day and I left work immediately. I was searching for the priority flights to head home while waiting and hopefully there will be news & updates from mom's opt. Hours later while waiting for the news after operation,  the news then arrived.. "Thank God" that mom's opt went successful and mom woke up consciously. I couldn't be anyway more relieved when I heard the news. My instinct is telling me that mom will be well soon. I know it's not gonna be easy, but we will go through this together no matter what. I know that we will overcome the obstacles together and I believed that dad will protect us and brings mom through whatever mom is facing.



Highlights of the Year '14 : Throughout the whole year of 2014, my life seems like just after riding a huge and rough endless roller coaster with all the ups and downs. The journey that I've been through this year is not a smooth journey but I never give up.  But when I'm on my most down time, I met a very special friend. In all these time that I've been through, I found it really hard for me to be able to met someone that is so understanding and able to share on my feelings and thoughts. I knew that many people had walk in and out from my life but for the one that able to left the footprint in my heart n life is rare. I knew that this will be one of my very true friend. I really wanted to say a huge thanks to this special friend that understand my tears, keeps inspiring me, non stop bringing me a smile everyday and had thought me some precious life lessons. I really appreciate it & Thank you so much.

It's Not About the " Other Person "

Some people think that a relationship is either good or bad because of an appearance of the other person, but do you even aware that life doesn't happen that way. You can't tell someone to the force of love just like - " I will give love only when the other person gives it to me!".
  
You won't receive anything in life unless you give it first! Whatever you give to others is what you give to yourself. It is totally not about the other person at all. It is all about you! yourself! It's all about what you are actually giving and what you are feeling in the relationship. If you gave love to someone and it's through kindness, encouragement, support, tolerance, gratitude or any good feeling.. It will comes back to you and multiplies itself and you will bringing love to every other area of your life include your success, happiness and career. But if all you gave is just only negativity to others through criticism, anger, impatience, dishonest or any bad feelings... you will be guaranteed that will receive that negativity back. It will multiplies itself and attracting more negativity which will effects the rest of your life! 

You know that you can change any relationship right now by looking for things you love, you appreciate and you are grateful for in that person. When you make a deliberate effort to look for the things you love more than you notice the negativity on things, then a miracle will take place. It will just appear to you as through something incredible has happened to the other person. But if it's the force of love that is incredible and because of that, it does dissolves the temporary negativity including the negativity in the relationships, all you have to do is just to harness the force of love by looking for the things you actually do love in the person, I believe that everything will change in the relationship.

Every end is a new Beginning

Some people said to me that things happened for a reason as same as in our life issues and problems. Is it true that things really happen for a reason? I'm not sure. As in these years, there is some issues and problems that I couldn't let it go and kept it on me all the time. Sometimes it even effects my temper and my emotions. I came across some self help book, but to me it doesn't really help. It's been years now I'm having this issue and I've tried all kind of method to figure a solution out for myself. Recently this issue got worst and it really bothers me a lot.  I felt totally drained by this problem and its really effecting me a lot in this year. There is moments that I'm trying to find my inner silence to lead me back to the track out of this issue, but I couldn't get any silence as all the voices around me is bothering me way too much, so I've took a spontaneous trip away for a couple of weeks to get my mind of things.

Sometimes getting out of the comfort zone helps to forget or at least temporary distract my mind but I figure that spending some time alone might be a good start.. just relax and pampered my self.  I was gathering loads of information by researching and readings..people said that the first step to get over and deal with it is to take some time out, it will makes you feel more calm and not to think so much. But it wasn't that easy. Sometimes, some of the little things reminded me and the memories starts to flashing back. I try to not let it effect me and carry on the day with a smile on my face but inside is another different story.

So to try to clear my head I had tried what most people do normally. I had my head up and move forward, absorbs the sights, the sounds of the scenes and the things that is going on with this world. I felt independent and so liberated. I did whatever I want to do and not thinking of others. Im gonna treat my self better and love myself more than others. I do think before that I might needed a new environment, probably just a different one where I can be alone quietly, to listen to my inner voice or to loose myself and hopefully to find myself. But then I still find it is not helping at all. Thing's start to be drifted apart and seems like it can never comes to an understanding and I started to get frustrated and depressed day after day. Some older generations used to say there are 7 different stages that we will go through and dealt with on our life issue or problems.

  • Stage 1 : Shock - where you're trying to figure out what happen and why the issue occurs in my life.
  • Stage 2 : Denial - Where you keep telling your self that the problem or the issue isn't happening in my life, and this is not true.  
  • Stage 3 : Isolation - Finally realise what is going on and how or why the issue or problem appears, then just want to be by yourself and doesn't want to share or talk. 
  • Stage 4 : Anger - At this stage your feeling and emotions shifts to mad, frustrated where unable to find a solution and everyone besides you start judging and commenting, then emotionally starts to get annoyed and pissed off. 
  • Stage 5 : Bargaining - At night when started to calm down and think over back on the issue that occurs, you will start to think and you'll missed the past where there is no worries, no problems, no emotion effects.
  • Stage 6 : Depression - Well eventually falls into depression whenever or wherever the issue effects your soul, and totally lost control of it.
  • Stage 7 : Acceptance - Finally this is the stage where I started to look back and knowing what my past is meant and what the future hoped. To overcome everything, I have no choice but to accept it and leave it in the past and move forward to live my life in a better way than the past.

I told my self Jas, there is just a couple days left to the end of this year, it is time for me to learn how to accept it and I just have to stop dwelling on the past and start begin a new chapter for my life for the coming year.. Better days are yet to come.

❧ Love, Trust and Commitment ❧

I truly believe everything happens for a reason and God has proven that. To me today I am very blessed to be standing here next to my best friend. Being apart from each other and sometimes out of contact while you where deployed made me realise that the amount of love and commitment I have for you. There are no doubts in my mind when it comes to how I feel about you even if you drive me crazy at most times.

     Never knowing when your coming here or going to be able to talk to you was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. You never know how strong you are until being strong is all you can be. Countless nights of crying and being worried and staying alone only made my feelings grow stronger.

With God by our side, I know we can make it through anything life gives us. I want to spend the rest of my life supporting you and taking care of you because even though I feel strongly need you in my life apart of me I feels that you need me too.  We started our relationship based on little promises where we linked our feelings together and try to be honest to each other that we cannot lie or break that bond. Just like little kids.. a promises that have been told means a lot more.

I know that I had made promises to you that I will always love and be faithful to you no matter how far you go or how long you're gone. I promised to love you when life seems easy and when life seems difficult, I will always & forever be there to laugh with, to cry with and will support and lift you up when you are down. I like the way on how you always put my happiness first. I've never met someone special who knows and understand  me as well as you do. 

You come across strong and tough to upset people but I know deep down I'm your weakness and I value those moments when you open up to me. I promise that I will not take advantage of that side of you. You make me feel safe and secure and I am truly bless to have you in my life. You are my best friend and now my closest one.

DO NOT EVER BOOK YOUR HOLIDAYS WITH "Lowcostholidays.com" !!

Today @ 19th May 2014.

Feeling great .. got news from work that we're getting off for 3 days straight. Something just came up my mind telling me why not get a short break away from work. There it goes.. Paris is the destination selected.

Knowing of couple websites able to get great deals for this short break and came across "lowcostholidays.com". Searching for affordable deals and just found one that suits me the best. So decision made and here goes the booking. Everything goes will while selecting the dates and choosing the accommodations for my trip. Once done then here goes the payment.

Here is the nightmare started!! Couldn't believe it when I received my confirmation email.. It tell's me that my flights has the wrong date. Really surprised and it is not the dates that I key into it for my travel. So immediately I rang into lowcostholidays.com and guess what happen, firstly one of the girl staff was really nice and she advise me that it was a mistake and she would be able to sort it out for me in couple hours and i will be receiving another new confirmation email with the correct dates on it without charges and will get refund for £45.00. I think that's fair and even if they didn't offer me the refund is fine. So she then hung up the line after advising me to wait for the new confirmation email that will be sent out between 5pm and tomorrow 9am. I've waited n waited till the next day morning.. Nothing come through my email.

@10.00am, rang "lowcostholiday.com" waited around 10mins for someone to pick up the call, at the end another staff name "Rebecca". Spoke to her and told her the whole issue again, but this time she said that she will sort it out and will email their other flight support team to sort it out for me and it won't take long.  She also made promises that said it will be solved as she will take control with my case and  ring me back to let me know what is the solution. But all this is just bullshit talk. I've waited n waited n waited till 3pm at the noon which is after lunch. I have to made another call to them but this time they put another girl staff to talk to me. More surprises shit that they gave me is they said that they have talked to their manager and they can't do anything b'coz I'm traveling in-between 7days? Hello?!!! I just booked this package yesterday and your staff told me that it will be sorted and now you ask me to solved it myself with the flight merchant. I was like "WTF!!!!" after all these promises and bullshit talk you advice me now that you can do nothing??? And need me to talk to the flight company myself? It's not my mistakes and it's your company mistakes and now they push back the ball to me!! and the worst is they just hung up on me. Fine then I'll try to made my call to the flight company. Guess what now.. I rang the flight merchant and try to arrange back the right time and they told me that my flights is booked from lowcostholidays and they should have rang them to sort it out instead of me ringing them. I was really annoyed and pissed off at the moment and I asked, could you help me to sort this and they gave me a news that yes but you have to pay extra €400 for the flights to get changed!!! What a ridiculous thing! I'm not going to pay another penny extra on it so they advice me to contact back lowcostholidays.com.  Fine.!

@4.30pm. Another call for lowcostholidays.com. Now a guy answer they call. The same amazing shit and promises they can gave which is " I'll look into this case and will contact back Rebecca and will ask her to ring you back! n hung up!" Till the end off the day they never even ring me!


What kind of customer service is this? What kind of shit service is this to provide for customer?! Not taking up any responsible on their mistakes, giving fake promises just to make you hung up the line, and pushing back the ball to the customer? Is this how you treat your customer???
I will never let them get away with this and will definitely made a huge compliant against them for justice ! They will  with the way that they treat their customer!

~ Night Out ~

At work, we can't always choose who we work with. It could be a tough week and there is no communication or connection between each other.  So we all decided to go for a night out with all the team members that we work with. Here it's the time for some fun. So we all decided for a team night out. Here we go.. "The Mardyke Entertainment Complex" bowling, drinks n finger food .. sounds nice.


It's good thing to bond with your colleagues. I found it that we able to get to know each other outside of work and most likely can have a good grasp of one's characteristics ^^

Many people doesn't know that actually the game of bowling able to form or cultivating social connections to team building. When co-workers see one another outside of the office, the fresh context offers a good opportunity to strengthen relationships and I do agree that bowling is one of the most social sports and it's a great choice for team building. It could be also an ice-breaker for those who doesn't really get involved much with each other.


On that night, we all have a game in 2 teams and we all work out really good. Both teams are really enjoying themselves and it is very noticeable that there is such a good communication and teamwork in-between each of them. We also been rewarded another sweet pint for the top-scores on the teams. There is some finger food served during the game.

It's very noticeable that after a couple pints, the aim for the pins to be knocked down is more accurately and more strikes achieved.  Even after the game some of us already half drunk but we all really enjoyed ourself and will definitely arrange for another night out soon as we always use this quote in work  "We always work hard and play hard"
