Simplicity will gain confidence.

*One of my freelance job which I had to give the presentation for the Surface Pro 3.*

In fact, to make a good presentation is 

The simpler your idea and the simpler your presentation of it,

then it will more likely you are to emerge the winner.

Winners instinctively know that to make something big happen, you've got to concentrate on the few things that really matter.

That is why they keep it simple.

But if you forget everything else, 

please remember the slide, 

because you'll still can captured the essence of what you're going to say.

To make a good presentation that makes people remember of what you want to deliver to them.

the summary must repeat,

must come at the end of the pitch.

Which you have to keep it clear,

and keep it simple.

Remember, if they don't have confidence in you,

they certainly won't have confidence in your idea.

So make sure you keep it simple for your speech,

to gain the confidence,

for the audience,

and YOU.

How to Control Your Intake.

I started my so call "diet plan" since when I'm Form 2.

And I really success of getting a "slim" body.
Which was actually a thin body.

I was really happy that I got slim down.
 But THEN....

I was too happy, and I just eat as much as I can because I thought that I'm thin enough.

See this. I know I looks weird in this picture.But I just wan you to see the difference of be before "diet" and the after.

And THIS was the previous one.

*I'm the one who standing on the left hand side.*
You might not know that what is the difference, but when you see the legs between the two photos.
There is a very big different actually.

So the feedback was DOUBLE UP for my body figure.

My body size just became worse from what I was before I started my diet plan.

Hence, I didn't give up of working on it. 

I tried hard of getting numerous way to slim down my body but of course in a healthy way.

I even do exercise regularly.

Yet the result is still the same.

Yeah I admit that I'm a food porn which I really eats a lot.

That was actually my biggest enemy ever.

So,I was struggled for so long of how to control my daily intake.

Until then I found something which actually helps me a lot.

Well, I really need to thanks to my friend of introducing me an apps which is 

"MyFitnessPal"

You might thinking of what is the benefit of MyFitnessPal right? Hah

Let me tell you about this,

You can actually key in your age, height and the most important part YOUR TARGET weight for slim down! =D

After I key in all my information, then I realized that my usual calorie intake was actually more than what I should have for my daily intake.

Gosh! What I did for the past was really wrong! 

And currently I've lost 1kg in just ONE WEEK!

This was one of my transformation and I'm still working hard on it. =D

I am following MyFitnessPal app for my daily intake. 

If you have the same situation as me in the past,

download MyFitnessPal apps then.

The strength of positive thinking.

A positive person anticipates happiness, health and success, and believes he or she can overcome any obstacle and difficulty.

Well, some how positive thinking is not accepted by everyone. Some people, consider it as nonsense, and scoff at people who follow it, but there is a growing number of people, who accept positive thinking as a fact, and believe in its effectiveness.

It seems that this subject is gaining popularity, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it.

                                             

                             

To use it in your life, you need more than just to be aware of its existence. You need to adopt the attitude of positive thinking in everything you do.

With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall, our voice is more powerful, and our body language shows the way we feel.

So let’s be a POSITIVE thinker. =D

Soul-mates.

Most people including me consider ourselves as lucky as we have ONE or TWO friends that we can count on. But even if we do have HUGE circle of CLOSE friends, why NOT? Right? Hah.

However, most important things is you yourself consider you as a friend, and totally understand who you hang out with.

 Your friends can be a huge influences in your life.
It you hang out with the wrong ones, you might ends up in the wrong path same as if you hang out with good ones, you might ends up in good life too. 

As when I was the age of 11, I used to be very rude.

I was pain in the ass when I was in the young age.

Vulgarity is like my daily routine.

However as I grow older, I realize I should put a stop to this.

I started telling myself if my dad from the above would be disappointed if I keep on with this attitude. 

Then I made up my mind to dodge myself away from all the dark side and choose the friends that I really want to stay close and trust the most. I want those friends that can make me a better person, smarter, more loving, more open minded, more collaborative, more God loving, more grateful, more forgiving and more obedient to our parents.

Main reminder, do not ever expect others to make commitment that you wouldn't make.

In fact, I would advise you to give more than those who support and encourage you.

Think as your friendship as sharing your favorite burger with your friends

If they bite a few bites of your burger, you might have the crave to have it back from them right straight away.
But sharing make things more yummy.

I can't stress enough how vital it is to have positive people in your life and how dangerous it is to hang out with those who don't actually bring out the best in you. 

"In our culture, people always compare with each other and they can easily focus on what they don't have, their limitations," once said by the greatest,Ignatius.

It's actually doesn't matter and not your fault.

Just that everyone is doing it and eventually you'll just follow it.

But now I'm trying to persuade you to change it into different perspective.

You can actually try to improve yourself of what you are not good at and learn from your friends!=D

Well I'm not trying to ask you to copy your friends, what I'm trying to carry out is if you don't learn the positives from your friends, what else are you gonna learn?

Sometimes we tends to hide our weakness within ourselves but trust me that rarely works out well. 

So my advise over here is to be YOURSELF and find those people who willing to accept the REAL YOU.

I know we all feel lonely at some points in our lives. Yet I believe there'e no one hasn't felt that before right?

The first step to avoid the loneliness,  is to instead of waiting people to come over you is you YOURSELF have to move forwards first.

Asian Battleground 2015

It was my very first experience going on to the Astro LIVE show Asian Battleground.

I can say that I'm very fortunate to know Ker Qian as my friend. She the ONE and ONLY girl member in Kidiotics crew! =D

You know what is more exciting? Kidiotics is the champion for Astro Battleground 2015!!! <3
It is very nice of her because she actually got me a lot of tickets.

So with that, I invited bunch of my Uni friends to go together.

The show was supposing to start at 9.30 p.m. but I had something that had been delay therefore I reach there at 10 p.m. that night.
 I was really auspicious that I still could get in to the Grand Hall.

Of course with the lateness, I didn't manage to get a nice place to stand and watch the show.
However, I still manage to have good times with my friends and create lots of memories with them.

To fix the situation I just tip toes and strengthen my neck as long as possible to watch the show.
Eventually, everybody start to do that too to get the a good view. 
hahaha

All in all it was a great experience, watching the dancing crew from 10 different countries and meeting famous judges like Funky Lia from Korea, G.Hsiang from Taiwan, Vince from Philippine and etc.

Acting like a boss? HaHa

From the beginning and towards to end of all their performances was great but when it comes  to the Japanese group I really felt that they are not as good as the other dance crew.

We had gone full max crazy when it comes to my friend's dance crew which is the Kidiotics and after we have witnessed their performances, we were extremely sure that the Kidiotics crew is gonna win but turned up that the Japanese team won.

However, we did not get a clear view, therefore we thought that the Japanese team was not that great.
To clear things up a bit I have re watched the show again on the internet the next day.
And indeed that Japanese team had amaze me.

Truly a champion for ASIAN BATTLEGROUND.   

Moral of the stories ~Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover. =)

Last but not least, the event was great. I had a great experiences. Another great puzzle pieces to add in my memory lane. =)


Anyway let's just stop with those boring words and watch the video together!!

Because I've seen enough people keep complaining with their oats is tasteless,  taste like plain paper, taste gross or even worse taste like "SHIT" =_=

In the end, they go back with their unhealthy diet.

Today I am telling you that you are truthfully WRONG if you think   that eating oats is a kind of boring.

And it isn't as bad as what you think of.

Practically you can sub-join it with other nutritious food that will absolutely makes your oats lots tastier!
