Sun Tzu and the Art of War

If you are ignorant of both your enemy and yourself,

then you are a fool and certain to be defeated in every battle.

If you know yourself, but not your enemy,

for every battle won, you will suffer a loss.

If you know your enemy and yourself,

you will win every battle.

Do you really know yourself? How much do you know about yourself? There is no one can actually know himself/ herself completely, and that's why everyone will definitely face with failure in the journey of life.

I am quite against to facing failure in my life. hmm no one wants to fail right @@ frankly saying, I was quite protected from failure since I was young. This is how people always say about Chinese, Chinese are always overprotective to their kids.

Anyway, back to myself. Since I was in kindergarten, I was always the first-prize winner, of anything, quizzes, exams, contests, and so on. In primary school, I never get below fifth place in the class rank. eewww this never go on until I go to secondary school @@ too many pro already zzz I have to admit.

Time goes on. and I found out people value results heavily, really heavy that kind. People say if you don't get good results, you don't get yourself a degree cert, you would not get yourself a good job. in term of the paid. This is what I learnt, INDIVIDUALISTIC, value results higher than the means, relationships.

I think, myself is a real kind of Cancer (horoscope). Is this a good thing or bad thing? To care about everything around you? the boyfriend always say I'm over sentitive towards the surrounding and sometimes I am the one who care too much. He said maybe they don't even care about it okay I've learnt from him. seriously I tried my best not to put too much of feelings on everything. Maybe this is better to me, and to the surroundings. =}

okay I know I'm such a coward coz I don't dare to fail. make myself to feel comfortable, that's the thing.

coz this is my life =)

Selamat Hari Raya dudes. and happy holidays!

Initiative

How to make the first step if you don't take the first move?

First mover advantage @@

As if I will be the one to get the advantage.

But what for, for one hand clapping? You don't even bother me.

Always the same thing happen. Never learn. eewww How old already?

And now I realize, people always come to you only when they need you (you can either think in positive or negative way, me in the-minus one now =/) and of course, for their own benefits. How about the deep-inside relationship? I mean true friendship.

I have to say, be myself. Be yourself.

I thought I'm having 12-days holiday starts from tomorrow gahhh but got replacement class =/ eewww my movie time gone.

Info searching time zzz

Night people U__U

See this!

The annual exhibition of the Klang Artists Association was jointly organised by the SGM Selangor and the association on November 1, 2008. The Exco member of Selangor State Government, Mr Teng Chang Khim was as the guest of honour for the opening ceremony. There were 31 members of the association taking part in the exhibition, with 62 pieces of artwork, including oil paintings, water colours, calligraphy, ink work, waxed paintings, metal-pictorials and mixed media presentations. The association also produced a pictorial book to commemorate the occasion. The exhibition was held at the SGM Selangor Culture Centre until November11 and attracted more than 700 people.

Yes, those artists are just so talented, which I wouldn't be doing this forever haha =/ But I love the way how they express their stories and feelings through these pictures.

A Day to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

31st August 2010, the National Day.

With the parents, and the boyfriend. By the little Myvi. We departed at 10 in the morning, after having our breakfast at PinChou, Jalan Meru.

Using Karak Highway, (if not mistaken) we reached there by 11.30. At first, not much people there, but the crowd coming, little by little.

You have to pay before you enter:

Entrance Fee : RM12 per adult / RM8 per child (Colmar Tropicale)

Rabbit Park : RM3 each person (we didn't get into the rabbit park because it was raining, keep raining =/)

Horse Stables : RM2 per entrance / RM25 per ride (omg this is too expensive for us we didn't get inside)

There is free bus rides in the Berjaya Hills, but we didn't get a chance to ride on it, because the seats are just too few. So, we walked all the way! XD best replacement of jogging heeee =)

Reminder: Wear a pair of comfortable shoes (high heels are not advisable, but if you're pro like my mom you can do it too! =p)

Let's start the journey!

First station : The Souvenir Shop

You can buy some Japanese souvenirs here if you love Japanese stuffs =)

The sign board:

Japanese Tea House

Ume Tatami Suite

Tatami Spa

Japanese style. Kinda peaceful and fresh. Plants and water.

Ryo Zan Tei Restaurant

Botanical Garden

Let's get a shot before leaving the Japanese village. chak

Then there we head to the Colmar Tropicale, the French-themed village. There is quite a distance between this two places, it took around 5 to 10 minutes car distance.

Car park fees = the RM12 entrance fees

The Chateau Spa & Organic Wellness Resort

Le Chevalier

Colmar Tropicale

Oh we reached!

The hotel lobby, ballroom (but not in use)

The place is quite big. you see! =D nice?

Accidentally met with this woman, with the cute bag named Metoo XP

Not easy to get a shot without other visitors, way too crowded =D

Let's get into the wonder land!

The very end of the village.

The day wasn't pretty enough. Keep raining, even though not the very heavy type. But we enjoyed, a lot! The scenes are nice, the buildings are uniques, the air, ahhh yum fresh! XD

Remember to bring a good quality camera if you wish to capture all these nice views from Bukit Tinggi Pahang. if not, you'll get low quality photos like mine =/worth listening to me kay =p

Before going back, we were all hungry! Another nice recommendation for you, go to Kampung Bukit Tinggi, not far after you come down from the hills. There are lots lots of stalls and chinese restaurants. We had our lunch, four dishes six bowls of rice and tea, spent not more than RM100. (but the tea cost us RM10, gahhh good tea =/)

Another good day I spent with my love ones. Contented and happy. yay

hope you enjoy the photos too!

I love holidays but assignments all coming already eeekk
