Cleaning Your Heart

Its been awhile since I posted on motivation topics. Now in this holy month, I think I should do so more often. I simply picked this topic at first and wasn't sure what to write about. But as I think about it, I realised that every individual is attracted to and wants kindness and love.  As kids, everybody was mostly kind and cheerful. We gave and shared our toys, candies and played everything together. As we grew older, grudge, hatred, jealousy and revenge started to form. Not all the big kids got along with each other. They chose and discriminated the odd one out. And at times, being the odd one out is what makes the person shine brighter.  Try doing something kind for someone. There will be warmth in your heart, a kind of warmth that cannot be easily experienced unless you do something that touches another soul. Even I do not how to explain that feeling in words. There was one time I truly deeply felt this warmth and I'll never forget that moment. It was when I saw

Shell Gathering at A Five Star Hotel

We have always hoped that Shell would organise a gathering for their scholars so we could meet each other and get updated on latest news. I was informed that they have been planning to have it since 2009 and finally in 2013, the plan became a reality.   When I got the email from Han earlier this year, I think I must have been one of the first people to reply. As soon as I read the email a few hours after it was sent, I confirmed that I was coming immediately. However, I saw that the date was set during Ramadhan so I suggested they arrange it earlier so it will be more convenient for Muslims, like me. When I got a positive response, I was more sure about coming! The first thing that made me anxious was getting a roommate. We were told that we would be sharing a room with another scholar, so that meant I would be getting a roommate for the first time. I have never lived in a dormitory or shared a room with someone I didn't know before so this was a new experience for me ;) 

Get Naked Event at Tini Spa

Exactly one week ago which was last Sunday, I was invited to Tini Spa's Get Naked Event. Ok wait waitt, nobody was naked ;) It just reflected the concept and purpose of the event- get a picture of us after removing all make-up and everything from our face then apply Dermalogica products only and see the results! Spent the afternoon at Tini Spa with my mum. We reached around 1 and was given the checklist above. We were to go to each booth and complete the task. After each task was completed, the paper above would be stamped. When we got all 3 stamps, then we would get a free Dermalogica product. #1 First, we did Skin Mapping whereby the Dermalogica Specialists checked each region of our face and advise on its conditions and which products to use. They gave us tips on face care based on our face condition. Right after this, I had lunch with my mum and brother. They had mee goreng, brownies, fruits and cookies. It was so nice I ate a lot ;) The Skin Bar was full so
