25-12-10 Christmas Feast in Karine & Harry House

I am honored to be invited to their house for a Christmas feast. My first time had a traditional Christmas feast, and also my first Christmas in UK. My heart filled up with excitement, and eager to involve in the atmosphere of this thanksgiving day.

Their house was nicely decorated, with Christmas trees, gifts, banners, decoration accessories and etc. Back in time to Malaysia, I would think that Christmas decoration is worthless and splendid. Now, I has changed my mind.

Roast Turkey! It always associated with Christmas. This Christmas feast taught me how to name some of the food -.-lll It sounded terrible, but I indeed didn't know how to call them.

What I had in this wonderful feast? All the food prepared was kinda traditional food that every family in the United Kingdom will serve during Christmas day.

- Vegetables (steamed): carrot, corn, peas
- Fruit salad: mango, peach, apple, yam, grape...
- Tarts: didn't manage to eat it, I was too full
- Roast Turkey
- Roast Pork
- Chipolata: sausages wrapped in bacon
- Pudding: like a bun, soft and nice
- Roast potatoes and sweet potatoes
- Cake
- Stuffing
- Cranberry sauce & brown sauce

Delicious! I had a wonderful meal with a lovely family and friends.

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
