Movie and reading : quick way for stress less

               

  Its a first week of my holiday, and i just have one semester left before i completed my study in diploma level. This long break is an oppurtunity for all college students to do anything they what without any distractions, i also have planned many activities that can benefits me during this holiday. Movie is become my favourites activity during every holiday and just now i just watch a movie  Tokarev acted by Nicholas Cage. A perfect movies for me.

  Through movies i think, it can distract ur mind for a while from the stress life environment out there and of course we can spend our time with our buddies. I believe movie is among the best way to reduce and relieve stress in an immediate way. It is more give impact to reduce ur stress if u are watching a comedy genre movie which will make u laugh out loud.

    I also prefered reading as one of my routine, just bought a books entitled 'The Happinnes project" , i believe this books will increase the motivation and self esteem level for those who read it . I will read it and conclude the main point in my next entry.

   Another good news is that my parents are planning to go to Australia for the next family trip and i was so excited to hear that. I know Australia was an amazing and beautiful country and i am looking forward to visit it next month. Well, will update again . See u in my next post

its holiday:went through this most toughest semester smoothly

 Hye friends, i think its almost five month i did not update anything on my blog. This is due to my busy schedule as a student reps and my responsbility as a final year student. And yeah, i just went through this toughest semester ever smoothly.

  At the early of semester which is on December, i cant adapt with my new life as a student rep. I failed to balance my role between student rep and as a final year students. And finally i managed to contact back with my former psychologist dr khairi,he gave me many advice and guide on how to manage the time and how to balance back my time between the two big responbilities i have.

  Yess, after listening to his advice, i am able to balance and reposition myself back. After that, i went through the whole semester smoothly until the final examination ended last weeks. Until today, i am proud of myself and still cant forget the moment when i am able to become the project manager of one events at my college.

  Its about educational and charity event which on that time i were given a responsbility to become the project manager and the event become a success until it get a coverage from the local media. I still cant believe that myself can handle and i cant lead my team to do such big event until it become a success.

  Its like a dreams..Until today when i remember back on that moment , i just smile alone and of course i miss that moment so much. Thank you to all my teams on the cooperation they had give . Credited must be given especially to my assistant project manager which help and backup me a lot during that time until it become a success.

   Its a long time i did not writing on my blog and i think i lost my skills already on blog writing. Haha,but its okey i will get my momentum back for me to continue back writing and share my experience and story here. I will write as many educational writing about mental health issues here. I hope i can help my friends out there to overcome their problem.

see you guys on my next post,have a nice day

The most toughest semester.Bad feelings come!

  Hello readers,yeah finally i have a time to update my blog. Now i just entered a new semester which is semester 5 and the last year of my study in my campus. The first week just ended with a busy routine, as told before i hold a position as student representative at my college.  What can i say, my daily routine is so packed with classes during the day and meeting at the night. Sometimes i must attended an event organised at my campus.
 
 According to seniors , this is the most toughest semester during our study. So from that word, i start to feel anxious , anxiety begin ,i am keep questioning to myselves ,how i would balance my routine as a student rep and also a student?this semester there is so many assesments. I must do a research,creating a short film, create an advertisments and also must conducted an event.

 My anxious level increase ,when this semester i will be a project leader for a project under my faculty. Yeah,it its very tough for me. Sometimes, this anxious feeling will create a panic attacks sometimes. Bad feelings come.. I worried many things,

  But instead of that, i really enjoyed and have fun with what i am doing now. It change my life a ot. But the problem is there is many negative thought that come into my mind, i know is is only false cognitive that always play into my mind and i strongly believe i can change this cognitive into positive.

 Readers, i was keep questioning on myselves, how the great world leader like Barack Obama can balance between their works and other things? It still become a question for me until now. I really envied with their achievement on how they can manage their time well.

  Well indeed,maybe your ideas and advice is very important to me and i hope i can be like them.Have a nice day ahead !

Psyschotherapy, let raise the awareness!

   In this year, i had undergone psychotherapy session with two of consultant psychologist. Yes, until today what can i say is this session is very good for thus who had a problem. Unfortunately i believe many people outside there did not know and even heard about this especially in the remote areas.

  In my place for example, many people did not know about this therapy and the counselling services is just available in the urban areas. Nowadays, in the era of globalisation, many people work under stress conditions, thus many of them suffer depression ,anxiety and other related problems . For thus who fail to managing stress properly,It will cause many catastrophic consequences.Today we can see,the rate of suicide is increase, drugs abuse involving youth underage.

 We cannot blame them at all, thus it is the role of the professional to overcome this issues. Yes i have an experiences of myself, i suffer from anxiety and panic disorder and today with the help of many profesional  out there. i had recover a lot.

 After going several session, my interest to psychology increase. Seriously after going for cbt, i started to learn a lot about psychology. I start to read, buy books about motivation and yeah maybe one days i will become a psychologist consultant. This suddenly came into my mind .

 Thats why i create this blog with the advice from my counsellor. Through blogging,i had find many people who suffering many problems who need a help. Yeah, after i get my first class of degree, maybe i will continue my studies in counselling and psychology fields.

  Seriously, i respected to those psychotherapist out there who had contribute a lot for the mankind. It is not an easy job to listen and help people all the time. And i hope one day, i will join and become part of them!

Perfect vacation.

  Hello there,it almost 5 week i am on my semester break and it is one week left before i continue back my studies and entered my 5th semester of study. In this holiday,there is so many things i had do. I had spent my time with my family,hangout with friends,reading,play sport and recent i just came back from my short vacation to the Republic of South Korea.

  Before this,i had been to many places and country such as Singapore, Hong Kong and China. What can i described Korea is the best country i had ever been. The people are very very friendly and there is many interesting places for the tourist for sightseeing. What can i described is in this country there is so many beautiful places that can be visited. This country is unique because it has four seasons and now it is autumn.I hope i will come back to this beautiful country one day. Below are some photo that i took during the visit.


    Just now, i just finished reading books entitled 100 ways to motivate yourself by steve chandler,the man
behind the success of "reiventing" yourself books, and i find the books is so perfect to change our thinking from pessimist into optimistic. I hope i can and could apply all the ways i had read in my real life. Tommorow i will continue my CBT session with my private counsellor at Kuala Lumpur and i hope i can gain something new in the session tomorrow. One week left before new semester open, i am ready for my next semester. In my plan,in this weekend i want to bring my family for having dinner in hotels and i will fly an boeing 737 simulator in Kuala Lumpur.

  Dear all, lets we move on,build a new life,set a new goal. May happiness will always belong to us. Of course will write again. Much love
