Do you feel any? Any sense of belonging yet? Wait a minute. I'm not belonging to anyone. So, there's no sense of belonging one. Don't say husband and wife lah. Not even boyfriend/girlfriend relationship also lah. 

That's not my point. In fact, I was thinking that everyone seek to be part of something. Like the other day during a tender clarification, my colleague found out that there are some Penangites in the room so he quickly announce that he is Penang kia. Wah, quickly find the sense of belonging with them. Can relate and find a common acceptance level. At least they won't hold back to him since he is also Penang 'lang' ((read as "lung" which mean people in hokkien)). But one thing for sure which everyone in the room agreed upon. Penangites "sibeh" ((extremely)) "kiam siap" ((stingy)). Hahaha…. 

Just like the other day when I had lunch with my customers, I realized that one of them was also from Setapak High. Something to relate to. Then the conversation starts going on and on. So much to talk about and suddenly, there's no barrier anymore. There's no longer a wall between because both also Setapakians. Hehe!!! Indeed, and he even asked me to bring my school magazine when I drop by his office next time. Wow, can't even imagine that being able to relate to someone can actually bridge the gap.

Just like football, when Kenny and CKYeo was discussing about Manchester United, there's seem endless topic to talk about. Suddenly become buddies. That's because they both belong to Man U. But what if you can't? Just learn lor. Like my manager shared to me that there's this colleague (from her previous company) that knew the boss a huge fan of Man U. What he does was the next day, his desktop wallpaper become Man U Wallpaper, and start talking about Man U matches. The boss noticed him and then, he was quickly promoted. *Please be advise that this is not encouraged*

How about blogging? How do you relate to the blogger? You simply go up to the person and told him/her that you are a big fan of him/her. Read the blog daily and tell the whole world you know them. *yeah right* So fake! Do at your own risk. 

Bleargh.

Ever encounter such trials that it really puts you off the the edge. Having one toe on the ground and slightly will get off from the cliff. Like your life hanging to such a thread? More of a strand of a hair? If you fell, what do you do? 

You fell hard. What would you do? Get up!!! Get up on the feet and work for it again. Thinking back, it reminds me of a story. A story about Dan Jansen ((Daniel Erwin "Dan" Jansen)). My mentor sent me a sms of Dan Jansen, asking me to get back up every time I fell.

And when you fall…

What do you do?

You feel like giving up, right?

But if you believe in yourself… you don't give up.

 

Instead, you… Get… Back… Up…

 

All of us face adversity and failure in our attempts to achieve worthwhile goals. Fortunately, there's a little bit of Dan Jansen in each of us.  

 

Hence, I remember that this guy, Dan Jansen never give up despite that he encountered such trials in his life. The moment he fell while competing in Winter Olympics, just because he heard the news that his sister died of leukemia. Anyone could might just lost hope. Lost direction and suddenly, everything that been done seems pointless. 

But he get back up. In 1994, he won a gold medal. Not only that, he set a new world record as well.

So, I asked God. Why? Why such a trial on me? He knew that He has a plan for me. He is shaping me, through the trials He had given me. Everything happened for a reason. My friend used to tell me that in everything gives thanks. I must thank God for the trials I am going through now. Not to forget every single person who are involved in the trials be it directly or indirectly. 

Like when I look back at the times of me sleeping and locking myself up, it was simply good to think about it. I knew I can do more and do better than that. I believe that myself when I really committed to it, I can get it through. Dedication. I learned more and more about myself. Discovering myself again, through the trials. In fact, for the whole month of April. It is a journey of rediscovering Dale. Now, Dale or No Dale is no longer a matter to me.

I am who I am

They asked me to calm down. I am calm. I just hyper-ed. I am not having any nervous breakdown. Just that I prefer everything in faster pace. Maybe that's that KL people are. In fact, I noticed my footsteps are fast and hurried. 

This reminds me of the old days' when I have to walk to tuition center. Rushing from the bus stand all the way to the class in order to secure the front seat. The reason was that if were late, I couldn't even see what the hell the teacher scribbles on the white board. Growing up in KL, used to the pace of life. Everything has to be fast. Seems like time is not enough. Now, I grew up tired of it. Everything seems urgent. Everything seems important. Everything seems doesn't have enough time. Everything …. well, you get the drill.

I'm relax. Right now, this moment. Breath in, breath out… breath in, breath out. *deep inhale and slowly exhale* Pray for calmity of mind and clarity of doubt. That's what I can do right now.
