A Sense of Accomplishment...

Can you recall a time when you did something that gave you a sense of sheer satisfaction and pride?

I recall such an incident when I was 9 years old. It was my birthday and I was pestering my mum for a piggy bank. It seemed like the ‘in ‘thing at that time.

My mother like all mothers used her innovative talent and fashioned me a piggy bank. Yes, my first ever piggy bank was none other than a 1kg fern leaf tin with a slit on the cover.

It might have not been what I asked for but it did serve the purpose. I received 10 ringgit and by golly was I over the moon. As daily pocket money I was given RM 1.20. I saved 20 cents per day. Every day the moment I looked forward to most was putting the 20 cents in that tin.

Once done, task accomplished! I had serve my purpose. Three months later I had accumulated 30 ringgit.

My pocket money has substantially increased since then. But that sense of gratification does not come from the 200 000 rupiah I save a month.

What makes that instance so memorable? Why did it mean so much to me?

Accomplishment…I had a sense of accomplishment when I did that. I felt I had achieved something. The discipline of sticking to it was gratifying that I was proud of my 9 year old self.

When you stick to something, follow through on what you initially set out to do. You get a feeling that energizes you. You feel gratified you have a slight spring in your step. Take a moment to think that if you go jogging everyday as you planned, even if you only followed through for 3 days. How did you feel?

Its small things like this that serves the greater purpose. Small incidents that give you the courage and discipline to fulfill greater tasks…

When you take that deep breath and you feel glad to be exactly where you are. That is contentment, and it’s not entirely down to the location you are at. It is also down to where you are in life, where you are as a person. Small accomplishments, like these make the bigger picture that much more amazing.

There is a saying; there is nothing noble about being superior to some other person. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.’ Life is a one way street, so move forward. Keep striving and improving yourself even in the smallest way.

I read somewhere that ‘Accomplishment is the most deserved adventure!’

So take a look at your life...

Find the spring in your step…

What is so great about the 1st of January?

Elated would be the word the most appropriate word to capture the emotions of everyone here and around the world! A new year brings new hope.


It is the truth I believe, that there is nothing so special about the 1st of January.Its just that people need hope! That is what the new year means to the most of us. If you have screwed up so far, its alright, here is where things take a turn for the better, or so we believe. Woes and worries can be put aside, a second chance or in my case, the 23rd chance at making a change. Another opportunity to turn things around and get that much closer to reaching our dreams.Weather it be winning the Noble Prize or losing 5 kilos of weight.
Endless possibilities for 365 days to come.


Hope and belief is what makes this day special; as these two things are vital to our existence ( no matter how much we may deny it). You may say, that if that is the case any day can that we decide to make a change can be a New Year. That is true but this single day has the power to make billions around the world pick themselves up and make them strive once again. It breathes back zest into each and everyone who believes in it. That is why i love this blessed day.


The New Year is not like a white board wiped clean, but a diary. You flip the page and start afresh. Not erasing what has been written years before but just caught up in the excitement of what stories may fill the pages to come...


I wish our thousand dreams can be lived in this one reality
Happy New Year!

Here goes!

Rainy weather; it is not conducive for any sort of activity. Other than sleeping or drinking a hot cup of coffee. I am lying on my stomach staring at my laptop; I can feel the frustration build up in me. What on earth should I write about? I have no idea.

I cannot say I am here (blogging) because I choose to be heard, or that I plan and hope that this venture will take me to new heights. Frankly speaking I have no idea what am I doing here. I feel like a 7 year old standing in center stage with the spotlight glaring down on me. I feel unprepared. It’s not that I have forgotten the words. No those I know all too well. Writing is a profoundly beautiful way of self expression. Ever since I started to dip my toes in this vast art, I fell in love (although I know next to nothing about it). Then why is it that I can’t find my words?

I made a decision a decision to start blogging. And here I find myself, three days after registering this domain with nothing up on the site. Why you ask? This is me. Over thinking is my specialty and this new venture has not escaped my overworking mind (what shall I write about, do I sound obnoxious and will make a mockery out of blogging). I can over think to an extent that I inhibit myself from doing what I set out to do in the first place.

I can ponder on things to no end. That is why I write, to put a stop to the thinking, I start writing in confusion and when I end I somehow gain some clarity. In my opinion writing is not just a form of self expression but also a form of self discovery.

You could say that what I might be referring is something more like a diary; I cannot argue with that. It is true to an extent.  My diary is a compilation of articles; it always ends up being an open secret. But so far the secrets were just open to my close friends. Now, am I ready to take put it up for the eyes of everyone and anyone? The answer is a flat out No!

But tell me truthfully can you ever be entirely ready? Opportunities arise at unexpected times, and sometimes you have time to prepare and sometimes you don’t. You just gather all the courage you have left (wherever it may be hiding) and give your best shot with all you have at that time and who knows you might just surprise yourself.

Do I aim to be a notable blogger? No. All I know is that I feel I should start blogging. So here I am. I have no genre in mind; I might blog about ice cream one day and about spiritual enlightenment the next. So you if you are asking what this blog about? My answer is who knows, I am just going to make it up as I go along. I just hope I can give you a good read and do not leave you feeling that it was just an utter waste of your time.
