life too short, shuck it up and move on

Life always changing everyday. There always new things in life everyday. People coming and going, all of them give us a lessons. Some lessons are tough and some are easy. But at the end, all lessons make us street wise. The more people coming and going, the more street wise we are. Sometimes it makes us teary but at the end it makes us proud of us self that we have passed the hard lessons. Never regret or sorry, be gratefull and move on, look forward for the next lessons. Moved to an other country, married with foreign man is not easy, alot of struggle but at the end it makes me stronger. I was hired by a company who did not pay my wages as they should, I did the best job I can, then I left as I find better company. Too late for them to regrets how they were treated me, I did not come back, I found an other job. I was in relationships with not a nice man, I treated him the best I can and left him as I found better man, too late for him to bagging me to come back as I already moved on and found a better man. I raised in the family who treat me like I am number second, I moved to an other country and keep the distance with them, too late for them to get me back and treat me better as my life now better than their life. I employing people to work with me, I paid them as they wish, they are free to arrange the start time and finish time, but they ripped me off. I found an other worker, and eliminate dishonest worker. Some people not realised how hurtful what they did untill we did something to them. Same on us, we also have to think on what we do, how we react to the situations. We have a choice on what some sort of footprints we want to leave at someone else memory.

how change season affects my life

So I have been here for almost 4 years now. I am still struggling to keep my life balance each time the season change. I knew that some people who live in tropical country they want to feel the feeling of living in 4 season country. But I prefer 2 season country (dry and wet) in tropical country. I will list it here,
1. Sleep pattern change
I wake up each day based on the sunrise and weather temperature. During warmer day, I wake up very early, before 6 am then go to work as usual time, back home at 4 or 5 pm then I sleep untill 9 pm. Then I struggle to sleep at night. Sometimes I can not go to sleep untill 3 or 4 am in summer because during hot day I always get exhausted after 5 pm that's why I go to sleep after 5 pm if possible. It is really different during winter, I always go to sleep near 11 pm and wake up after 6 am, never go to sleep in the evening.
2. Mood change
During hot day, all I want just go to the beach, go shopping, have fun. I have no interest to go to work. I spent heaps of money during hot day. During cold day, I am happy to go to work, I have no interest in beach or shopping. I got a bit gloomy during cold day.
3. Clothes change, skin change
my skin looks better during cold day. I do not have any issue with skin during cold days because I always wrapped all over me during cold days so my skin well protected. During hot day, I have to wear shorts or thin long pants, summer tops which are really thin. The I got sweaty that cause my skin feel sticky and itchy. So my skin at the moment really bad, they got red burn, itchy, got bitten by insects as well because I wore shorts.
4. Energy
I have lots of energy in the morning during warm day, I got lots of energy in the afternoon or evening during cold days. I got tired in the afternoon or evening during warm days, I got tired at night and early morning during cold days.
5. The feeling of jetlag
Different weather really give me the feeling of jetlag. Change my sleep pattern and mood. I do not know how local people get in to this. Because during winter, at 9 am sometimes still dark and the sun gone before 4 pm. During summer, at 6 am already bright and sometimes untill past 9 pm sun has not gone. My body is really bad with this, not cooperate really well.

This year, I feel a bit down, not as excited as I used to. I just feel like again I come across this season, not much different. Time flying so fast, last summer was not long ago, now it is summer again. The biggest things that makes me really sad is that I am getting old, I wish I could stay 21 forever.

things I hate or do not like too much

I love almost everything in life. Even on the hard day in life I try to keep positive and loving life. But there are few things that I really can not stand and make me up set a lot. Here we go :
1. Coffee
I drink coffee sometimes if people forced me to do so. But I am not a coffee addict, I hate the taste of coffe. I don't know how to enjoy coffee. Drinking coffee for me is like drinking very bad herbal medicine.
2. Crowds
I hate crowds so much. I hate most when I can not move or walk freely because of the crowds. I feel really unsafe when I am in the middle of the crowds. I like exclusivity,  I not mean to be arrogant, but I really hate when people touch me either by accident or not. I also like concentration when do something. I don't like shopping when the shops busy. I like to visit quiet shops even usually they are more expensive. I like it because at quiet shop I can really think about things I want to buy, about positive and negative about things that I want to buy. I also enjoy privacy, I just want to be free to do things that for some people are weird but for me it is normal.
3. Loud voice
I can not help my self to hate people who talking or screaming loudly. Either they are happy, angry, or full of emotions, I just hate it so much. I would be shaking if people screaming loudly near me, my heart beat going very fast and I got really frighten.
4. Winter cloths
I am a simple person, I like summer cloths to go out. I only wear undies (sorry to say) with t-shirt at home. I don't like layers of layers of clothes.
5. Untidy hair
I like my hair to be tidy and looks nice. I wash my hair every second day. I try to keep my hair away from the face. I don't like when my hair down during eating. So most of the time I always tie my hair back. I also hate hair knots so I always brush my hair before tie it back.
6. Noise outside the house
everytime I heard someone walking on the deck, and knocking at the door. I got really frighten, I don't like people visit me as well, especially unknown visitors. I always thinking about robbery everytime I heard something moving on the deck, most of the it is possum walking there.
7. Dirty place
I like to stay at home, as I am sure my house is clean. I always clean the foors twice a day, vacuuming and mopping because I like to walk on bare foot. I got few slippers but I hate putting on and off slippers. I also do not like dirty and untidy kitchen, oily kitchen. So I always clean my kitchen and never leave dirty dishes for few hours.
