Good Words Can Make Someone's Day

Assalamualaikum,



Although I've been using Blogger for almost 2 years now, I don't actually know how it works. At least not completely. I mean, I can do things but there are some tasks that I have no idea how to do. For example, getting a notification when someone leave a comment on any of my blog post. So, how do I know when a person commented? I don't. Haha. Unless I notice something strange about the total number of comments. Usually that happens when suddenly my sense is perfectly senseful.

Basically that happened last night. I accidentally looked at the total number of comments and felt curious. So, I checked and found this comment;




I know I shouldn't be too worked up over a random comment from an anonymous but I actually felt delighted reading it. You may ask me why? Well, in the negativity-filled internet where people hide behind their computer screens and send hate to other people, I am quite surprised there are still this kind of people. The kind that leave comments that bring you joy and stop feeling down if you are. 

To tell you the truth, I don't really like anonymous comments because I don't know who they are. I want to know who said that. Anyways, I thought I ought to tell that. It really bothers me. Okay, back to the title.

Sometimes I stumbled upon these kind of comments in the Youtube comment section among all the other hateful comments and I smile. How wonderful it would be if you are having some issues with yourself and suddenly you read about this person saying you are worth it, and that they love you. You may not know that person at all but there's something about words that can touch you, touch your heart. 

Somehow we always forget how priceless we are and we feel useless for no one showed that they need us, no one tells us (on a daily basis) that they are grateful for our presence. We need these kind of reminders to knock some senses into our heads. WE ARE LOVED.

I watched 'Born Without Limbs' on MTV just now. The show's about Nick Vujicic. A 32 years- old man with no arms and legs. Honestly, I've heard about him before. He was in the local newspaper that I read few years ago and I've seen his books with him on the covers at bookstores. I've always wondered what happen to his limbs. I thought he was attacked by a shark but turned out he was actually born like that. It's something called the tetra-amelia syndrome. A very rare disorder.


He's a motivational speaker. Obviously, because he also writes motivational books. So, in an interview, he told a story of when he was 19. He went to a highschool to make a speech, sharing his stories and hardships and to tell the students that they are wonderful and loved. Suddenly, a girl in the middle of the school hall started crying so badly. She said, "I'm sorry, but can I hug you? For all my life, no one ever told me that they loved me." 

Nick, in that interview said he can't believe what he heard at that time. He couldn't imagine a life where his parents never said that they love him. 

So, what I'm trying to say is, the power of good words. You can make a person's day. 

Reminder to self: Mind your words. Don't talk recklessly. Try throwing random kind words to people everyday and make someone's day. You have nothing to lose.


This is for you who are reading :)

Redang Mutiara Beach Resort: A Review (July 2017)

Image
Assalamualaikum, I promised to write about the expenses for our trip to Redang and would also give some useful tips for those of you who are looking to go for a holiday there. So, here you go. We stayed for a night at a hotel in Kuala Terengganu before going to Redang Island because we had to catch our ferry in the morning, which we could not possibly do on the same day we had our journey from KL to Terengganu. That would be such a rushed trip. It was a budget hotel, Hotel Kenangan. We took 2 rooms for 3 and 4 people. The rate was RM18.30 per person per night, which was affordable for students like us. The room condition was fairly acceptable relative to the price. I mean, we were only in need of a place to sleep at. Not a luxurious room to lavish in. We took a RM300 per head package (not including GST, RM16.50) at Redang Mutiara Beach Resort. It is the rate for weekdays. We went there from Wednesday (12th July) until Friday (14th July). Since there were 7 of

First Year Dietetics: Subject Summary

Image
This is not a typical short and sweet update. It’s going to be a long one which is kind of rare for me these days. Okay, I know I’ve been writing about my undergraduate life a lot but this post is strictly to talk about my program, Bachelor Science (Dietetics). As I just recently finished my first year, I’m going to talk about what I’ve basically learnt.              Before we start, let me just give some facts. I am an undergraduate in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), currently studying Dietetics. I went to an interview in May 2015. There were 2000 applicants, about 100 of them were called to be interviewed and eventually only 29 of us were chosen before another 3 were brought in for the second intake. So, there are 32 of us. I did go to another interview for the same program at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) which I obviously flunked. This was surprising because I found the interview at UPM to be much harder and thorough. The interview took 30 minutes when in contra

Special Unit: Institut Jantung Negara

Assalamualaikum, I am currently at home, holding the title fresh graduate. So, I am not bind to anything. Patutnya aku dah lama taip pasal ni tapi mood tu tak ada haha. Ni baru rasa macam ada mood sikit. So, here goes, walaupun I do not think this would be a long post. Just simple and sweet. We will see. Masa dapat tahu aku dapat placement kat sini, I was quite literally scared. Awat? Weh, ni IJN kot. Kena attach directly dengan dietitians kat sana. Bukan lagi dengan CI kita yang dah masak dengan perangai 32 orang ni. Yes, aku pernah pergi hospital luar which were Hospital Kajang & Hospital Putrajaya, tapi kat dua2 hospital ni, mostly memang attach dengan CI, bukan dengan dietitian kat hospital. The sheer terror was also because I am a bit of a shy person (walaupun kalau cakap benda ni kat sesiapa, depa takkan percaya sebab dah biasa dengan aku yang banyak cakap ni xD). The prospect of meeting new people usually gives me anxiety.  Dah lah special unit ni rotation terak
