~Great Relationships~

Copy and paste this from my email.

A great thing to share with friends.  Remember; "sharing is caring"

1. Respect People

 

Always talk to people with respect; speaking to them like you want to be spoken to. Be kind in your words and actions. Think before you speak, because once the words leave your mouth, they can't ever be taken back. Your words may be forgiven, but they will never be forgotten. When you speak harshly to someone, you put a small crack in that relationship. Too many small cracks and the relationship will crumble.

 

2. Be Loyal and Trustworthy

 

Be the kind of person that can always be counted on to do the right thing. Never do anything to betray that trust. Always be honest, and always temper your honesty with kindness. Let them know that they can always lean on you, and even their deepest secrets are safe. If you don't have trust in a relationship, you don't have anything to build on.

 

"A friend is one who walks in when others walk out" ~~ Walter Winchell

 

3. Put Others First – Be a Friend

 

I know it's not easy, but you need to put the needs of others first. By that very act you show how much you care, and how important that relationship is to you. When you enter a relationship with a heart that puts others first, you are blessed by the fruits that are grown from such an act. By showing a genuine interest in others, you show yourself a friend, and gain loyal, lifelong friends to yourself.

 

As Dale Carnegie said, "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

 

"The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one." ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

4. Don't Try and Be Someone You're not

 

Always strive to be your best self, but never try and be someone you're not. Relationships built upon lies and distortions will never stand. Real friends are honest and upfront with each other. If you want to have a real friend, then be a real friend. Part of being a real friend is being yourself. If you want to impress someone, impress them with your kindness and friendship.

 

5. Don't Take People For Granted

 

I think this act probably causes more hurt, resentment, or weakening of friendships than any other. We go from enjoying someone's company, really appreciating all the things they do for us, and thinking about how great they are for the things they do. Then, let a little time go by, and we stop acknowledging the good things about them. We come to expect certain things that we considered special at one time. Don't do it, it's a relationship breaker. No one wants to be taken for granted.

 

6. Be Forgiving

 

What if the one being taken for granted is you? It hurts to feel like you're not appreciated. If we aren't vigilant in caring for our relationships, these things can easily happen. That's why it is important for us to look at others like Christ looks at us, with compassion and forgiveness.

 

Be sure to talk to the person taking you for granted. Don't let it build inside until the relationship is destroyed and irreparable. If they're a true friend they should apologize and be willing to change that.

 

Another trick to great relationships is good communications, and not holding grudges. Be forgiving as Christ is forgiving.

 

7. Be Positive and Encouraging

 

I love being around people who are positive and encouraging. It brings out the best in me and causes me to want to be positive and encourage to others. Can you think of a better emotional boost than to help put a smile on someone's face?

 

Dwelling on and being discouraged over problems will do nothing to make them better. We need to acknowledge the problem, tell that problem it's not going to define us, and then get to working finding a solution.

 

When someone you care about is down and hurting, you getting depressed with them will do nothing to help. What you need to do is show them compassion, be empathetic, and let them know you're there for them.

 

Then you need to lift them up. Help them to see some of the wonderful things about themselves and their life. Sometimes people just need to be reminded that they're special, and we believe in them even when they quit believing in themselves.

~Jawapan kepada soalan sebab nak tertinggal kapalterbang~

Hamboi bukan main panjang tajuk (^_^)

Bila baca comment dan Auntie Anis tanya "apa yang tak kena dengan passport Zara tu?" terus I macam eh, bukan ke dah cerita panjang berjela-jela.  Terus baca balik entry tu dan "oh, my mistake again"..mak lupa yunk! *ahaks*


Baiklah, jawapan kepada persoalan "apa rasa bila hampir ketinggalan kapalterbang?" ialah:

SALAH CETAK TARIKH LAHIR DI VISA

(sorry tak dapat nak letak gambar visa atas sebab tertentu)  

Boleh?

Boleh?

Boleh?

Mummy yang konon-kononnya cukup efficient pasal benda-benda cenggini telah terlepas pandang akan perkara tersebut padahal dah berkali renew visa kot*aceh, ayat formal gituew*

Tapi kesilapan yang macam ni memang kalau ikutkan tak boleh dimaafkan!

Tahu tak? *baca dengan nada marah konon-konon tengah marah Mummy*

Especially bila dah hampir terlepas kapal terbang.

Sekian, terima kasih...

~Cerita cuti 1: London~

(please be noted yang entry ni panjang berjela kerana penuh dengan gambar)

Dari Moscow ke London dah cerita dah, ala yang cerita nak tertinggal flight tu *blame her!*blame her!*

London. Memang kota metropolitan. Penuh dengan manusia dari pelusuk dunia, sampai nak landing kat airport pun kena queue. 30 minit berlegar-legar kat udara sampai telinga pun dah masuk angin.  Tulah benda paling tak suka sekali.tapi hati dah kat jejak tanah..muahhahahahaa

Dari Heathrow Airport kami ambik Heathrow Express terus ke Paddington Station. 20 minit tanpa henti dengan tiket berharga 20 Pound.  Untuk I yang membawa anak kecik ni tak berapa selesa sebab penuh dan dapat duduk kerusi kecik kat tepi pintu dengan Zara yang sibuk nak main-main dalam kesempitan itu sambil nak tegur-tegur si British konon nak berkawan.

Dari Paddington Station ambik London cab yang comel itu terus menuju ke Holiday Villa yang terletak di Leinster Garden di kawasan Bayswater.  For me senang duduk area Bayswater ni sebab senang nak makan, ada a few kedai halal, berdekatan dengan Malaysian Hall kot-kot nak makan masakan melayu tapi kita orang tak pegi pun kat situ sebab setakat nasi lemak, asam pedas tu boleh je masak sendiri lagi sedap.  So kami makan kat Chinese Restaurant yang halal, makan chinese food lah of course! Souvenir shops pun banyak kat sini. Nak kata murah boleh la kot but still ye kita yang Malaysian ni kena convert duit kita kali 5 ye. Tapi kalau asyik convert je kerjanya alamat tak beli apa-apa lah..LOL!

10 minit je rehat kat bilik after check in then terus keluar menuju ke Degenham East yang terletak di Essex.  30 station dari Bayswater Station ke Degenham East Station melalui District Line (color hijau).  Tujuan ke sana? Hehehe (^_^) Sungguh tertarik dengan suasana di tempat ni.  Rumah pun sangat comel dan cute *tak ambik gambar sebab dah malam dan penat*

Second day!

Full day of city tour and shopping!!! Hooooyeayyyy!!

Seawal pagi bangun excited nak jalan-jalan di kota London.

Dari Bayswater Station naik tube ke Victoria Station (sebenarnya salah station..hewhewhew).  Jalan-jalan, kan katanya city tour.  Sakit kaki singgah kedai Clarks beli kasut (perasan tak mula kat gambar 1st tu I pakai kasut color lain, then gambar lain kasut lain pulak). Teruskan jalan-jalan sampai ke Westminster Abbey yang berdepan dengan Queen's Elizabeth Conference Center.  Kiranya kawasan ni "center of attraction" sebab sebelah Westminster Abbey crossing the road is Parliament House, Big Ben.  Jalan ke depan sikit lagi ialah London Eye.  Eventho' jauh kami berjalan tapi seronok je sebab pemandangan yang cantik, cuaca yang sungguh nyaman (lucky tak hujan).

Oh, lupa nak bagitau..Budak kecik tu sepanjang perjalanan dia TIDO..sedap kan aircond free, knowing her yang suka sejuk-sejuk ni memang nyenyak sungguh :-))

Lagipun kalau dia bangun, mesti gambar dia je yang paling banyak dicapture, lari sana, lari sini tak reti diam, tak nak kena pimpin tangan.  Dah big girl konon nak  jalan sendiri.

Habis jalan-jalan cuti mata walaupun tak sempat nak explore semua tempat menarik, kami teruskan perjalanan naik tube dari Waterloo Station ke Westfield melalui Jubilee Line (kot salah sorry ye sebab ingat-ingat lupa).

Dari Westfield ambik tube lagi sampai ke Marble Arch untuk ke Oxford Street yang glamour sebagai syurga membeli belah tu.

Shopping?

Taklah, cuti-cuti mata je *wink*

~Nak bagitau...~

Eleh macam gedix je tajuk kan!

Hahahahaha...

I saje nak bagitau yang gambar cuti-cuti aritu dah ada ni ha..Tinggal nak create cerita je yang belum berkesempatan.

Bukan nak menunjuk tau! Tapi kenangan untuk diri sendiri je. Al-maklumlah ni kan blog I kan..kiranya cam diary I lah..

Muah!

Muahh!!

~Love~

~Apa rasa bila hampir ketinggalan kapalterbang?~

Nak nangis oullls!

Hati ni macam popcorn dah, meletup-letup gitu.

Ni semua gara-gara Mummy lah ni yang tak check visa si anak! Bila dah renew cuma check nama dan visa validity je whether cukup setahun ke tak, visa daddy pun sama, visa Mummy pun sama.  Benda lain tak tengok dah.. Mummy yang salah! Mummy yang salah! *sob*sob*sob*

Bila passport Zara kena tahan dan diajak ke ofis Imigresen tu I dah "alamak kenapa ni".."ceh, korang ni saje je kan nak dengki kat kita org"..macam-macam lah anggapan yang tak baik keluar knowing Imigresen dia orang ni memang kalau check passport tu kalau tak 10 - 20 minit tak sah.  Kalau tak tengok muka then compare gambar dekat passport 20 kali tak sah.  Kalau tak pura-pura buat phone call memang tak sah. Faham sangat dah!

Masalahnya pulak I tak berapa faham Russian and she cannot speak English at all. Suruh ajak ikut je, tak terangkan langsung.  Officer dia pulak suruh duduk dan tunggu, dalam 5 minit ada orang datang dan ambik passport Zara bawak entah ke mana. Lagilah kami risau.  Jam dah pukul 10.00 pagi.  Flight pukul 11.15 pagi.  Ntah sempat ntah tak nak catch the flight, nak pegi toilet, nak tukarkan diapers Zara. Peluh ketiak ok fikir benda tu semua!

Tunggu punya tunggu sampai kita orang semua tak senang duduk, tapi Zara happy je main sana main sini, siap baring-baring kat lantai buat Mummy lagi geram *ishk* so bila jam dah pukul 10.20 hati pun dah tak sabar dah ni, terus je I selamba tanya officer tu "does it take long because I'm afraid that I gonna miss my flight at 11" sambil buat muka kesian.  5 minutes katanya!

Dah 10.30 pun tak sampai lagi passportnya! Aduh...I macam dah nak sedih time tu sebab fikir kena tambah duit untuk tukar flight..huwaaaaaa

At 10.35 I saw the man yang bawak passport Zara datang balik.  Oh, soooooo lega ok! Terus dibaginya passport dekat I, alhamdulillah.

Masa tengah scan barang semua that officer datang lagi nak tengok semula passport Zara..hishhhhhh, nasib tak lama dalam 3-4 minit je. Lepas tu kami terus lepas!

Siapa orang terakhir naik flight??

Kamilah...hehehee

pic:  si kecik kepenatan lepas main-main, tambah pulak bangun awal pukul 5 pagi.

~Kota London~

Alhamdulillah, tercapai juga impian masa zaman kanak-kanak dulu.

London Bridge

Buckingham Palace

Trafalgar Square

London Eye

Big Ben

Kota London..

Syukur ke hadrat Ilahi..Once in a lifetime.. Kalau ada rezeki nak jugak pergi lagi untuk kali kedua.

Untuk orang yang macam saya ni kalau nak jejak kaki sesuka hati je ntah la tercapai ke tak.  Al-maklumlah kalau dari Malaysia tu haruslah dikira semua kos yang akan terlibat.  Tambahan pulak currency converter ermm adalah kali 5 ye.  RM5 adalah bersamaan dengan +- GBP1..

Saya dan Zara..ermm..ni merupakan pertama kali lah..

Tapi untuk Daddy kali kedua *jeles*
