An extraordinary Thursday....

Today was an extraordinary Thursday for me. Different from the normal routine working day. Today was the day we were granted an opportunity to meet our well known public figure Dato' Bridget Menezes, a music teacher turned to motivational speaker, an author and self empowerment guru. She doesn't seem old for her age, full of positiveness and speaks with confidence. She says below, summary of what I understand :

1. "Always breed positiveness in your mind and actions"

2. "Never let your mentality to be challenged by things which you cannot control"

3. "Accept irritations from people. Treat is as normal. Don't let it to interfere in your life"

4. "Don't let problems to overpower you. Take control of your life. You are the master of your own destiny"

5. "Train yourself to be content of what you have. We have to be "OK" with whatever"

6. "There are 2 days in a week which are very important - Yesterday and Tomorrow. Stop worrying about past which already happened and future which you have no idea what is in store for you"

7. "Free your mind from clutter and worriness. And solution will come to you in no time. Clutter-free mind helps you to think clearly and make wise decisions"

8. "Always remember the Law of Justice. In everyday life, observe what do you do and what do you think"

9. "Avoid ego, anger, possession"

10. "Keep giving. Giving is receiving. Remember Nature of Law"

11. "Be Happy, No Matter What!"

Dato' Bridget ended the talk by giving a card to everyone of us. She said the message written on each card reflects our own state of mind. And I think she was right!

KL Bird Park ~ 6th July 2014

Our weekend getaway was the KL Bird Park. Located nearby the famous Lake Gardens, this bird park promises serenity and peace for those who wish to escape from hustle and bustle of the city. The entrance fee was quite reasonable for MyKad owners(RM25). With the current ongoing promotion, a child's ticket is free of change with purchase of an adult's ticket. There are plenty of birds species here. It is said that this place is the world's largest free flight aviary. It is a nice place to bring children along, to educate & expose them to variety of birds species. To explore the entire place including watching the bird show (0.5 hours) would take 2.5-3 hours (depending on how fast you walk, we entered at 9.30am and exited at 1pm). There are lots of places to rest in between of your walk. There is also a playground for kids. Below are the few pictures taken by unprofessional photographer :)

Time to plan for the next weekend gateway soon!
