Murphy’s day in Jakarta

Feb 14, 2012 by

I hear about Murphy’s Law all the time but i’m never a subscriber to it.

Muphy law states that ”Anything that can go wrong will go wrong” and i experience that on my 11 Feb trip to Jakarta.

1. Left my wallet with my girlfriend after supper, discovered when i was about to leave for airport. lucky i left some angpow money in my drawer.

2. took out my blackberry(my indo handphone) to charge but forgot to pack it in my luggage. Thus could not contact my friend as conveniently as i wanted.

3. needed to get to Singapore airport by 6.25am, couldn’t find a cab until 6.00. Lucky me, i met a crazy woman taxi driver that managed to get me there on time. LOL

4.was expecting to talk to 60 people at 11.30am(JKT time), but only 6 people turn up. Had to stall for time using videos.

5, halfway playing the Videos the computer wasn’t too good and had to change. lucky i brought spare laptop.

6.talk suppose to be from 11.30am to 1pm ended up i was delayed till 3pm.

7. had to rush to meet my friend at Ambassador mall before 830 as the tailor was going to close and i very much wanted to see the quality of the material.

8. While driving to ambassador mall, my good friend Abiyan took the wrong turn and more time was wasted.

9. Finally meet up with Mike Rios and wanted to bring both him and Abiyan to eat TongSeng Sate at Ambassador mall but was close!

10. decided to head down to catch manchester united match 9.45pm at a pub.  turn out that it started at 7.45 and ends at 9.45 and i had calculate the time wrongly!

At this point, i asked,”whats that law people talk about when everything is haywire?” Mike replied Murphy’s Law.

Damn this Murphy haha…

Being a positive me, i decided to focus more on the happy happenings and so here it goes…

Me acting cute with my own iPhone before setting off to Ambassador Mall in JKT and before my “supposedly” Manchester united vs Liverpool Game

Going on a food rampage at KAMSENG (jakarta) since i missed the Manchester united kicking liverpool’s butt game =)

 

Pictures of the meat we had.. Char siew and Roast pork too dry compared to Singapore but Chicken was juicy

Broccoli-favourite veggie. sauce too salty though.

HaiNam set- a treat of a little bit of everything

I guess the food compensated for the bad start of the trip. after eating, everything else went well i guess! haha show you more pics from my talk soon =)

Life improves when you take 5 minutes a day to reflect whether you have been taking powerful decisions. Remember, small steps everyday would amount to a huge distance walked in years

Step into success NOW by reflecting about your life with me.

Research has shown that successful people tend to make decision rapidly and are slow to reverse a well thought out position. People who usually fail, decide slowly and change their minds frequently.

What would your next milestone be? what are the foundation steps?

Once you decide and plan something stick by it!.

Visions are pictures that are form within our minds to give us a direction. Some of these pictures may seem achievable only in distant reality but the truth remains that all creations are created twice.

 

First a vision is created in your mind then with action, your creation is created in reality.

 

Often people who are successful, are said to have started first with a vision. Recall a few names and you would understand what I mean, Martin King Luther, Obama, Sir Alex Ferguson.

 

What is the vision of yourself in 5 years time?

 

Create a picture within you mind , you might even want to list it down on a piece of paper.

We must commit to learning rom our mistakes instead of agonizing over them, or we are destined to repeat the same mistake again.

 

Remember that there are no failure in life and these setbacks are just experience we can learn from.

 

What have you learned from a past mistake that you can use to improve your life now?

Doing things outside of our comfort zone may be tiring but pushing through this will eventually lead to a bigger and wider comfort zone.

 

Like muscles gets stronger with use, so does our brain muscles or decision making muscles. The more decision you make, the better you’ll become at making them even though some decision may lead you to actions outside of your comfort zone.

 

Today, make decision to take action on two things you have been procrastinating on. As soon as you are decided, throw yourself into taking action. By doing this, you’ll be building the muscles of taking action that can possibly change your entire life.

  • There is an abundance of resources within us that help us to achieve whatever we dream of. 
  • This resource is within reach if only we search within. 
  • Challenge yourself, make a decision to do something that will change your life now! 
  • It doesn’t have to be big. Maybe it is something that you been procrastinating. 
  • Maybe it’s a new set of skills you want to acquire. 
  • Maybe it’s calling someone whom you have not spoken to in a while.

You would realize that when you call yourself to action those resource will surface from within.

Habits are formed based on consistent recurring action. These actions are acted out based on what decisions we make.

If the above saying is true, decisions shape who we become and where we go in life, rather than the conditions in our life.

Have some time to think about how certain conditions in your life is a result of your past decisions.
