Day 1 after my siesta:
Woke up to a cool evening at 6.20, splashed myself in cool water - no shower facility. Made me a hot mug of nescafe and spent time in the hall with my parents and outside the house enjoying the evening whether. Nothing much going on. Mum said dinner would be about 7:30ish waiting for my brother to pack food after work.
Finally he came at 8pm and 10 mins later we had our dinner - Chinese takeaway. After dinner I took a stroll outside the house and was enjoying the starry view on a clear sky. Later on I performed a remote connect to my good friend in KL to instal another version of Forex Demo and spoke about forex for a good half hour.
Other than that nothing eventful took place and I embraced a good night's sleep about 12:30pm.

Journal - Home to Sabah : Day 1
It,s really great to be home. Last time I checked it was in year 2008 December. Thanks to Irene I managed to grab a very cheap price - RM136 for a return trip. In fact, she persuaded me to go home and spend some time with my parents.
But the week preceding my trip was a very terrible one. Work tension, resulting in terrible pain at the back of my neck the whole week. just couldn't get my backlog cleared as there were too many office issues that kept demanding my attention. Even till the yesterday, I only left my office at 9pm!
Slept at 1am, got up by 4:20am - left home 5:15am to Sentral Station. Sky bus began journey to airport at 6 and I was worried if I would miss the flight at 8am. When we reached at 7:15 I rushed to check in and still had time for nasi lemak with coffee before going through the boarding gate.
Flight took off on time at 8. Travelled at 35,000ft in the clear weather. I was worried of the pressure pain on my neck which I usually suffer in the past, but this time I was lucky. Tried to get some sleep but the angle of the seat was not very accomodating.
The plane touched down at 10:30 and I only waited about 15-20 mins for my baggage to arrive. my sister, Juliana, came half an hour later to pick me up, together with Junior and Aci. I was hungry and needed to spend some time in KK town before going home to my parent's place. I needed to breath the air there, to immerse myself in the heart of KK town. So we had something to eat in town. Since Juliana had to pick up Junaidi from La Salle school in KK we dropped by an eatery near the beach at Tg Aru. Junaidi had some outdoor activity in Lok Kawi and was on the was back to the school.
By the time we reached my parent's home it was 1:40pm. Hugged my mum. After she woke my dad up I went to hug him too. He has grown a beard and has started to use the walking stick. I feel so sad to see him like this, especially after more than 2 years. Anyway, the weather's hot here. It's 3pm now after typing my journal and I'm off to take a short nap..

The Mustard Seed and The Master Key!
Year in, year out, new year resolutions were like making a dull wish whenever I wake up in the morning after a vague fantasy dream. Soon as I get my butt off the bed all the dreams and wishes would instantly disappear under the blanket, only to engulf me again when I hit the sheets at night. New Year resolutions never made any sense to me, because they're beyond my grasp. And, whenever I made one up it'd only made me more discouraged, and put me in a state of depression.
This year is different. I just know it. Someone had planted a mustard seed in me during a Christmas visit to my dear old friend, Hilary, who was my wedding best man. He introduced me to a friend who is a director of Asia Event, and we got acquainted very well. Why not, since he is very humble and friendly, who was once suffering in an endless loop of rat race corporate world. Ever since he got out of it, things began to change, and with every new door he opened, another door presented itself, but not before he had acquired some knowledge and experiences which equipped him with the wisdom and courage in order to open the next door of new challenges. From thereon, more doors would present themselves and every door he had opened brought with him more new experiences and knowledge that would excite him to take on new challenges. And every new challenges would bring him more success!
From just a single act of courage in opening the first door of opportunity his life has never been the same. He is now able to provide for his family, not only in terms of money, but he is able to spend more quality time with his family. Plus point - no more stress! Every day he looks forward to start the day meeting new clients and new challenges!
He has inspired me on that Christmas day. He has planted a seed in me. I have started to grab an opportunity before that chance meeting with him, but his words of courage has driven me to courageously pursue that opportunity and go all out to open more doors as they come my way. With every door I open more doors will present themselves, as the first key, which I have used to open that very first door, is actually The Master Key!
