After 1 full year, I didn't even finish posting all the pictures on different stops I had in my Europe trip. That's how weak my determination is! It's time for a change. For 2014, I swear to keep track on everything I do and make plans.
2013 has been a learning year for me. However, I have always felt that I have not grown enough. There are always people outside there to help me and kindly give me a hand to complete my tasks. A BIG round of applause for all your loves.
At the beginning of this year, I moved on to my proper rotation where I am supposed to perform. There were ups and downs, not knowing what to do, rejections, objections, meetings and more meetings. I tried my best but the outcome wasn't what I have wished for. Over the years, I have also trained myself to not get stressed out. In life, we can only do our best and the rest we will have to leave them to others.
In the second half of this year, I moved on to my second rotation where things are meant to be less serious and more fun. Frequently commented on my time management. I guess being able to manage your timeline and stick to it are key things to succeed and build trust. I learned lots on relationship management and to be easy going with everyone around. Also, presentation flow has to be convincing when you sell the idea. Being able to convince others will definitely bring you to a higher level in your career. So much more to learn on this!
I have also taken up swimming. Like finally, I know. After finishing the swimming classes, I try to stick to a schedule to exercise at least 3 times a week and I am proud to say I have been very disciplined! I am on my tennis classes now. So those are two new things I have learned this year and am very glad that I am able to tick this off my list.
Throughout the year, I have also attended classes like latte art class, wealth expo and chart reading classes. The downside of learning so many things is that I have not been able to keep up with all the knowledge I have learned and practise them constantly.
Weekends and holidays are always filled with activities. I went for cycling, marathon, and there are all sorts of nonsense I have done throughout the year. So in my 14 days off, I choose to sit down and reflect, most importantly, catch up and plan for the year ahead.
So, breathe and fingers crossed for an even better year ahead!

Being Independent
I really need to train myself to be independent and work hard towards it.
No idea why sometimes I give the impression to others that I am the youngest or only child at home. Perhaps I need to relook at my attitude. I seem to do things according to my likes, get frustrated when things don't go my way, stay silent whenever I want, talk a lot of nonsense when I feel like it. It's hard to predict what I do. I also tend to be oblivious to certain things around.
Maybe cause there is always a person out there pampering me. Or people out there pampering me.
So yea. It's time to be independent and learn how to do everything myself!

Friends
Some people never change.
Some friends stay.
Certain people make you feel the same even though you have not been keeping in touch with them.
Met up with college/high school/work mates yesterday and we were all still the same. Although all of us are working now and our work environment differ, it's always good to share.
I am also very glad and feel truly blessed to be where I am. All I need to do is to focus. Focus on the path that I have chosen. Be myself. Don't afraid to be different from others and keep moving forward. Be happy always! Cheers.

Auschwitz - Birkenau Tour [Poland Part 4]
Not for the week hearted.
Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by nazi Germany during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I (the base camp); Auschwitz II-Birkenau (the extermination camp); Auschwitz III-Monowitz (a labor camp to staff an IG Farben factory), and 45 satellite camps.
The prisoners' day began at 4:30 am (an hour later in winter) with morning roll call. Dr. Miklos Nyiszli describes roll call as beginning 3:00 am and lasting four hours. The weather was cold in Auschwitz at that time of day, even in summer. The prisoners were ordered to line up outdoors in rows of five and had to stay there until 7:00 am, when the SS officers arrived. Meanwhile the guards would force the prisoners to squat for an hour with their hands above their heads or levy punishments such as beatings or detention for infractions such as having a missing button or an improperly cleaned food bowl. The inmates were counted and re-counted. Nyiszli describes how even the dead had to be present at roll call, standing supported by their fellow inmates until the ordeal was over. When he was a prisoner in 1944–45, five to ten men would be found dead in the barracks each night. The prisoners assigned to Mengele's staff slept in a separate barracks and were awoken at 7:00 am for a roll call that only took a few minutes.
After roll call, the Kommando, or work details, would walk to their place of work, five abreast, wearing striped camp fatigues, no underwear, and ill-fitting wooden shoes without socks. A prisoner's orchestra (such as the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz) was forced to play cheerful music as the workers left the camp. Kapos were responsible for the prisoners' behavior while they worked, as was an SS escort. The working day lasted 12 hours during the summer and a little less in the winter. Much of the work took place outdoors at construction sites, gravel pits, and lumber yards. No rest periods were allowed. One prisoner would be assigned to the latrines to measure the time the workers took to empty their bladders and bowels. Sunday was not a work day, but the prisoners did not rest; they were required to clean the barracks and take their weekly shower. Prisoners were allowed to write (in German) to their families on Sundays. Inmates who did not speak German would trade some of their bread to another inmate for help composing their letters. Members of the SS censored the outgoing mail.
A second mandatory roll call took place in the evening. If a prisoner was missing, the others had to remain standing in place until he was either found or the reason for his absence discovered, regardless of the weather conditions, even if it took hours. After roll call, individual and collective punishments were meted out, depending on what had happened during the day, and after these, the prisoners were allowed to retire to their blocks for the night and receive their bread rations and water. Curfew was two or three hours later. The prisoners slept in long rows of wooden bunks, lying in and on their clothes and shoes to prevent them from being stolen.
According to Nyiszli, "Eight hundred to a thousand people were crammed into the superimposed compartments of each barracks. Unable to stretch out completely, they slept there both lengthwise and crosswise, with one man's feet on another's head, neck, or chest. Stripped of all human dignity, they pushed and shoved and bit and kicked each other in an effort to get a few more inches' space on which to sleep a little more comfortably. For they did not have long to sleep".
The types of prisoners were distinguishable by triangular pieces of cloth, called Winkel, sewn onto on their jackets below their prisoner number. Political prisoners had a red triangle, Jehovah's Witnesses had purple, criminals had green, and so on. The nationality of the inmate was indicated by a letter stitched onto the Winkel. Jews had a yellow triangle, overlaid by a second Winkel if they also fit into a second category. Uniquely at Auschwitz, prisoners were tattooed with their prisoner number, on the chest for Soviet prisoners of war and on the left arm for civilians.
Prisoners received a hot drink in the morning, but no breakfast, and a thin meatless vegetable soup at noon. In the evening they received a small ration of moldy bread. Most prisoners saved some of the bread for the following morning. Nyiszli notes the daily intake did not exceed 700 calories, except for prisoners being subjected to live medical experimentation, who were better fed and clothed. Sanitary arrangements were poor, with inadequate latrines and a lack of fresh water. In Auschwitz II-Birkenau, latrines were not installed until 1943, two years after camp construction began. The camps were infested with vermin such as disease-carrying lice, and the inmates suffered and died in epidemics of typhus and other diseases. Noma, a bacterial infection occurring among the malnourished, was a common cause of death among children in the Gypsy camp.
Block 11 of Auschwitz I was the prison within the prison, where violators of the numerous rules were punished. Some prisoners were made to spend the nights in standing cells. These cells were about 1.5 m2 (16 sq ft), and four men would be placed in them; they could do nothing but stand, and were forced during the day to work with the other prisoners. Prisoners sentenced to death for attempting to escape were confined in a dark cell and given neither food nor water until they were dead.
In the basement were the "dark cells"; these cells had only a very tiny window and a solid door. Prisoners placed in these cells would gradually suffocate as they used up all of the oxygen in the cell; sometimes the SS would light a candle in the cell to use up the oxygen more quickly. Many were subjected to hanging with their hands behind their backs for hours, even days, thus dislocating their shoulder joints.

Latte Art Class
2013 has been a learning year for me. Learn various things in life. One bad point is that the habit of reading news is not there anymore. Thanks to twitter, I am only reading the headlines these days. Gotta reintegrate the habit in my life.
Went for latte art class with Peggy & Kingsley on Saturday morning.
The class costs a bit. However, good enough for a coffee amateur to pick up some stuffs.
Many things that I don't understand and should read up about. A lot of times we think that things can be easily done but never know the effort and knowledge behind. Making a cup of good coffee requires time to learn and understand too!

November
Can't believe I didn't type a word in September and October. Too busy having fun and going out I guess. Jotting down what I have done and my thought is actually a very good habit that I would like to instil. Work harder, Isabelle, work harder on this.
September and October just flew by. Tried more restaurants. Went to penang. Celebrated lots of birthdays. Attended Wealth Expo. Went for a latte art class (which I really wish to practise but seem like I have forgotten most of what I have learnt from that class). Met up with more friends. Went for training, etc. Slowly, it quiets down a little.
First weekend of Nov and I have lots of time to spend. Supposed to go for water treading program yesterday but it got cancelled. Not going to go for the next one I think. Getting really tanned and I want my fair skin back before more tanning in Krabi next year. People around me are still traveling. But I think I have done a fair bit of travels in my final year. Went to Laos and Bangkok this year too. Need to save up for next year. Not on plan for this year. Intended to buy myself a watch but didn't save up to that sum of money to get myself one. So yah. I am not going anywhere in Dec. Start working on things that I want to do instead!

Let Go
There are times when people ask me to let go and set myself free. A perfectionist, you say? No. As compared to those days, I no longer call myself a perfectionist.
Once, I read this article on those who are born on July 17th. Being described as someone who demands a lot from herself and those people around. They live with mental conflicts. Undeniably, I demand a lot out of myself and those around in an unhealthy way, occasionally. For others, they probably just keep pushing themselves to move forward whereas for me I trap myself first before I jump out of that hole to reach what I want. Complicated, confused and I myself am not even sure of what I am talking here.
7 months of the year have passed. 5 more months to go. Entering the career world, wake up, brush my teeth, get changed, take the train and 9 to 6pm everyday. From I knew what I wanted to I lost sights of what I want to realization to comfort zone to escape and I am going to start a new practice all over again. It frightens me a little but I promise myself to take up this challenge.
Recently, my emotions have been pretty unstable. Thoughts running in my head and feeling restless all the time. Last week, I was tired and drained every single day with bad quality of sleep. This week, I was so energized that I think I could live with 4 hours of sleep if I wish to. It scares me a little. I am slowly getting bored of who I am and what I do everyday. You know, there is always this time when you don't want to be who you are. I picked up swimming this year May and that has been something new in my life but now that I am getting used to the routine I begin with the adrenaline rush to do random things again.
Sometimes, things that I do hurt those around. It is hard being someone around me yet that is me. Somehow I can't seem to drop this out of my character.
I really wonder if people can settle with what they have for those that seem to.
Seem difficult to me.

Pre Rainbow
Going through the phase where I do not feel like taking about all the things that I feel uncomfortable with and only sharing those happy moments.
They say the person who looks the happiest is always the saddest person as well. How true this phrase is?
Smiling and laughing.
Without that, we won't be able to have a happy life. Whatever it is, we just need to continue acting happy until the day when we are really happy.
Stay strong.
好想自己是電影里的女主角，男主角，但這一切都要憑著努力與耐心換取。加油吧。每一天都是個禮物。有計劃性的過生活。

Wieliczka Salt Mine [Poland Part 3]
Photos are not allowed unless you bought the pass to take photos.
Temperature is slightly lower in the salt mine. I survived with my shorts. So not too bad yet.
Define Good Life
It's undeniable that the life I live might be better than some.
This is the image I portray.
I believe there are people who are much well off than I am.
It's a matter of how we choose to live our lives.
At times, I might also feel that your life is better than my life.
This is what we term as kiasu. Humans live with comparison.
This birthday, I want to get myself something.
Let's work towards it xxx.

Krakow City [Poland Part 2]
Kraków has always been, in many respects, a charmed city. With a history that dates back to the 4th century settlement of Wawel Hill, Kraków has fortuitously avoided destruction since the pesky Mongols stopped bullying the area in the 13th century, growing into one of the most prominent cities in Central Europe. The most important city in Poland not to come out of World War II looking like a trampled Lego set, even the Soviets failed to leave their mark on the enchanted city centre during 45 years of supervision, forced to erect their gray communist Utopia in the outlying suburb of Nowa Huta. As a result, Kraków is today one of the most beautiful showpieces of Eastern Europe – a claim validated by its historic centre’s inclusion on the first ever UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978, along with the nearby Wieliczka Salt Mine and only ten other places in the world. A city of majestic architectural monuments, cobbled thoroughfares, cultural treasures, timeless courtyards, priceless artworks and legendary beer cellars and gardens, Kraków’s historic centre is the pride of Poland.
Kraków’s centre can be divided into two main sections – the Old Town and Kazimierz (the former Jewish Quarter), with Wavel towering between them. These three areas are requisite for anyone visiting the city – even if just for a day – and have been given their own separate treatment with accompanying cultural listings within this guide. Though one could spend their life wandering in and out of the cobbled streets, courtyards, cafes, clubs and museums of the Old Town and Kazimierz (we’ve attempted to make a life out of it), don’t hesitate to take a trip across the river into Podgorze - arguably the city’s most evocative and mysterious district; the Jewish heritage trail also naturally leads here where the worst horror of Kraków’s Nazi occupation played out and Schindler made a name for himself.
The Zombie
It's going to be 3am in 15 minutes time and I am still awake here. Not too sure how I can stay awake at work tomorrow but we will see. That's life, isn't it?
Wanted to go to bed at 2.15am just now, however, ended up with a peep at my groupon voucher for chart nexus training. I remember that I need to call for reservation. Made up my mind to call tomorrow morning and put it down as a task on my calendar.
At this hour before I go to bed, I decided to see if I perceive everything correctly since it has been a while since I have last seen the voucher. The option to email to reserve is also stated on the small prints. Hence, knowing me, I switched on the laptop and light followed by typing the email to the relevant party to reserve. If only I can have an equal level of efficiency for everything. If only everyone else can have the standard for efficiency for everything. Life is should much easier. We all know we have too many obligations and responsibilities to comply. At the same time, we are also aware that things are always left undone when we first start off with wait. What a contagious word - wait & wait & wait.
Stepping into the second half of the year. Hoping to make some progress. Big or small. I need the leapt of faith to keep me going.

Jobless or Eventful?
Am I too jobless? Am I trying too hard to live life to the fullest and yet with minimal achievements?
Recently I have been very participative in various things. After my holiday in Laos, I went for walkathon the next morning. The day before, I reached home around 3pm and quickly got my laundry done. Had dinner with family and went out to friend's place to view photos taken from trip.
Yesterday, finished work late. Work hasn't been too good to me and I have started to consider other options. Went for a cuppa of drink and dinner at Studio Lounge. Movie at 1250am - White House Down and arrived home nearly 4am in the morning. Can you tell me whether I have gone from crazy to insane recently? I think it might be because I am getting very unsatisfied about my work and doing all sorts of things to divert my mind.
White House Down was a good movie! Not too sure why I didn't fall asleep like I always do on Saturday. Probably exercise makes me more tired than working long hours. Nearly teared watching the girl waving the flag in the end to save the father. Not only she saved her father. She save the entire nation of United States. She was so brave. She kept herself calm albeit getting really scared witnessing people getting shot down by the betrayers. Took video and uploaded on her youtube. At the same time, this girl was an intelligent character that could answer every single question regarding the White House when she visited. I should work upon being such character. The father fought so hard throughout the movie to save the daughter. He was not trusted when he went to the interview for Secret Agent due to his qualification. Please do not judge a book by its cover. One might not be good in all. He just needs to be a professional in one area and he can beat all the others. This guy eventually did the role to save the president from several attacks.
Good movie, it is.

Polish Food [Poland Part 1]
Polish food is the cheapest food I have ever had in Europe. It comes in big portion, delicious taste at affordable cost. All the restaurants we had been to were unique. They were all recommended by the hotel receptionist.
In Krakow, the city that we went in Poland, there weren't a lot of tourist crowds as compared to certain cities.
Let's have a look at the scrumptious food!
I fell in love with the spread below. One of the must try food for me even though most of the girls might feel disgusted having this. It is made of pork lard. Taste heavenly!
I actually took note of this restaurant and thought I would open a franchise if there is such day that I have sufficient capital. More often, we don't have the money but we have the ideas. When we get older, we have the money but not the ideas anymore. Sigh. Everybody got to work harder to get a bigger share of the pie in the society.
That's all. Next up we will have the sight seeing part. It is an interesting city to be in.

Sick Stomach
Hi Guysss! Stomach is really bloated now after dinner and I actually had lunch around 4 ish. My first time to this chinese restaurant called Da Tuan Yuan near Bukit Raja, Klang. The restaurant is filled with people. Customers actually need to wait for table to be seated. I had a look at other people's order on my way to the washroom before we actually sat down for dinner. Most of the tables ordered fish! We had lemon chicken, marmite squid, asam fish, vege, siu yok char siew, prawn mantis and tofu.
For me, I think the food is just alright. Not too impressive. Probably they served all the food together and we were all busy moving the food rather than concentrating to eat and taste them. Still prefer Boston!
Been through an awful yet embarrassing event this afternoon. Stomach was yelling for help. Felt so sick as though all my intestines are being squeezed together. No idea what's wrong. Stopped at the petrol station and sat in the toilet for so long. Luckily this toilet is clean. It was such a torture that I even considered to get admitted to hospital. My entire body went lethargic. I think all these late night eating have caused me some digestive problems. Need to find a way to curb this and have lighter meals if I am going to sleep right after.
Stomach, please be good to me. There will never be happiness in life without health.
For me, I think the food is just alright. Not too impressive. Probably they served all the food together and we were all busy moving the food rather than concentrating to eat and taste them. Still prefer Boston!

Tuesday Midnight Update
Life has taken its toll on me?
Fell asleep at 1030pm without taking shower. In the middle of my sleep, my subconscious was telling me that I have showered. 1.30 am woke up looking at myself hugging the towel and felt all sweaty and sticky. Must have not showered.
Need a clearer direction to survive meaningfully.

I'm a Busyholic [Food]
What an eventful weekend. Luckily I am on leave tomorrow. I
don’t know how my exhausted self can go back to a full work week.
On Saturday, went for double swimming classes since I will
be away for the Saturday after. It was alright ‘cause did not swim intensively
during the first hour. Hopefully can master swimming soon. After that, went
with friend and her sister to Old School, the restaurant to eat lunch. The
decoration is decent. Waiters/Waitresses are all dressed up in school uniform.
Lots of porky choices to pick there. 
Not even an hour at home, I left the house again for movie
and night market after that. Movie – Man of Steel was just alright to me. Think
the storyline is a little dull and expected. I should also stop watching movie
on Saturday after swimming class. I have done it 3 times. All 3 times I dozed
off in the cinema for a while. Had to force myself to be awake.
So the day was Petaling Jaya --
Kota Kemuning -- Puchong -- Home -- Setia Alam -- Home
Continued by Sunday with hiking and breakfast with friends.
Reached home around 10am, showered and got ready to go for Super GT Round 3.
Was a good experience since I have never been to one!
Packed my things and ready to go for holiday on Tuesday
early morning. We will figure out what to do tomorrow. Time waits for no man.
Cheers to a great one week ahead! No work. Pure relaxing and
we will figure out how good/bad life should be again after this. Need to catch
up with some rest tonight. Gonna head to bed before 12am.

My 2nd Time Visiting Czech [Prague Part 2]
We had 4 of us when I first visited Prague. The trip was quite fun. We tried a lot of food. This time round, it was only the two of us. Besides Charles Bridge and the square with astronomical clock, I managed to pay visit to places that I didn't go the last time I came.
I actually went back to some of the restaurants and somehow they didn't amaze me when I revisited.
Beautiful and romantic Prague.
On another note, there are some organisational changes in the office today. Future is bright or bleak. I can't comment. One more rotation to go. Trying the best in things that I can do even though there isn't much. At times, I also get disappointed with my ownself. Need to watch out my diet at the same time. Been eating a lot of food recently.
