    I still remember that Edgar used to say about my writing technique which is not only complex but also long windled and full with information. Why??? Well you will have to ask my form three teacher in school. She started the initiative for me to read our local newspaper, Borneo Post. Well in this paper you can read loads of complex writing put up highly Educated Sarawakian who are not afraid to voice up their opinion publicly. This is freedom of expression. Anyway, I will try not to write too many information in a single sentence like I used to. However, habits are hard to cahnge especially when I had being used to this particular writing style. May be this is a style inherited to true bornean. Sorry I prefer to be called a Bornean compared to Malaysians which seems too Malayness in it.
    Anyway try grab one copy of Borneo Post which is full of Liberal Ideas and the writing style is much more complex compared to one sided writing of political party controlled paper like star, BH and others if you know what I mean. We have many expat who wrote based on their years of overseas experince and practices which is compared to the typical Malaysian lifestyle. After reading, I felt more revitalised and  feel much alive as I haven’t  been reading such writing where there is no fear of expressing one’s view and opinion on how to do something in a better way which is being practiced abroad.

It is coming to an
end for 2006 and finally I found the answer for the entire problem that I had
faced. Although it sounds like one of those subjects learnt in thinking skill,
I actually found out that I was resistant to changes that were happening around.
I am sorry for complaining a lot as my ego is taking me no where. After a
closer examine then I realised that I am still stuck in my high school life and
not in my new college life.

It
may be one of those times when I feel comfortable with the situation in my
surrounding that I do not feel there is a need for any changes. My resistance
makes me lagging behind everyone without me realising it.

I
admit that I am rather stubborn that I only found out my mistakes after
watching the Break up by Jennifer Aniston in the movie. Jack was a stubborn,
selfish, and lazy person.

Well, I learnt my
lesson from the movie that is in life we always experiences something new or we
move up a level in relationships. It is normal. However, along with these
changes that occur, we need to sacrifice more and to do these, we need to come
out of our comfort zone and start making changes. I never realised how
difficult a change in our life could be.

Well, my New Year resolution is to open up my
ears, eyes and all of my senses so that I can really hear and see whether I
need to do more to improve a certain area in my life. It sure sounds easy than
done. Therefore, I need all of my true friends to give me their opinion about
who I am? How am I doing? What type of person I am? All these will be a feat
back for me to further improve my self.

Well
it is surely that time of the year where we make a list of what we would like
to see in the New Year. Happy New Year and reach for the stars!!
