感性和理性

话说有一天一个姐妹淘突然在群组里问了一个问题

“你们觉得感性好？还是理性好？”

咋？这问题还真的有点问题，呵呵。
然后我开始想想自己是哪一类人，理性还是感性？
参半吧！有时理性，有时感性。相信很多人和我的答案一样吧。
感性的时候就是容易以情绪感情去看待处理人事物，而理性者用事实后果去判断处理人事物。

后来，我透过视频看了个演讲，对感性和理性有了比较容易区分的方法。

有一家四口在饭后观赏电视节目， 故事情节是关于家庭的故事。妈妈看到一半就稀里哗啦地哭了起来，用着纸巾往脸上搽。 姐姐看得眼红鼻子红不敢表露出，偷偷地用纸巾搽了搽掉了的眼泪。爸爸这时发现老婆的举动，破口就喊到 “这也太夸张了吧！有那么感动吗？戏里演的都是假的！你哭什么哭？” 妈妈觉得委屈，回应说“你这人怎么看啦？一点感情都没有？真冷血！”坐在一旁的弟弟看了看，冷冷地回答，“都别吵了，只是一出戏！不需多加讨论。”

这四个人有两个感性，有两个理性。
妈妈肯定就属感性，姐姐也属感性；爸爸和弟弟偏理性。

那样看来我是偏感性的，
看到一幕幕感人的情节会莫名地掉泪，尤其是亲情的戏剧。我看《爸爸去哪儿》也可以掉了很多泪。在这之前我都好期待可以搬出去自由自在地生活，厌倦了妈妈的唠叨，讨人厌的门禁等，都让我好向往外跑。后来也真的让我到外头自己生活了6年，长时间在外生活后，我发现对家的思念是没减少，反而倍增了。现在回家了，但以前的想法和现在的截然不同了。有家人在的感觉是多么多么地踏实自在和幸福。往往有人说起亲情这块，我都莫名地感动。

再来是友情方面，对我的朋友们我特别的感性。我觉得朋友在生活中你必须要真心诚意才能长久。这门功课其实我也碰了一些钉子学会来的，后来我想也不打紧了。其实能为别人做的，是因为你有这个能力，你付出了不如同你收回的。付出多的人可能看起来吃亏，实际上愿意付出的人更有福。工作后我也较少主动联系，我就是那种属于默默关注别人、默默点赞、默默留言的那种。。。

在爱情方面，感性和理性需要平衡。两人谈心时坦然相对，我觉得感性时必须的。适时表达爱、关心，两人的感情才会升华。感性在爱情里会比较明显的人，显然这个人是爱得比较深的一个。
很多时候退让、容忍和包容都处置于感性。理性的综合是需要的，在对的时机做对的事情。说的话、做的决定，理性地想想前因后果。 在理性这部分，我真的比较逊，很多话因为气在头上说了来，收不回来。


一个人没有绝对的理性和感性，做好自己就是最好的性格。

请不要去打扰别人的幸福

最近看了真火热的电视节目， 有个人用了这个题目演讲
《请不要去打扰别人的幸福》

演说者是一名记者，内容大约讲诉人们总爱对着自己某些的事情、别人在用自己的感受、自己的眼光进行评价，表面上看来起来没怎样，有些甚至听起来很正义、很仁道，但却无形间破坏了别人的幸福。

我这样说起来很抽象，我打个简单的例子，在一年前中国著名的 “犀利哥”，披着长头发外貌像似明星，经过一连串媒体的报道和电子资讯的发达，他在短短的日子爆红了。这时在翻开报章或刷新电子资讯的你，看到了这一幕会开始做什么呢?普遍性的，人们就开始议论这人的长相、揣测这人的性格、在猜测他的日子怎么渡过，充满好奇与想象。往往媒体也因为抓着人们的口味，开始进追报道。。。当然这对想了解更多的读者观众和听众都有利处，往往人只顾自己却忘了一个人的感受。他。。。。。的生活莫名被打扰了，去到哪儿别人都投射奇特的眼光，他的害怕和不安有谁明白。

再说一个很普遍性的例子，新新人士都人手一机，无论何时何处都能上载文字信息。全球用量最高的社交网站--面子书，不要小看它的魅力，它不仅仅是个社交网站，它甚至可以说是个生活必备品。可能你会说，“天啊！有那么严重吗？” 你看看你周遭的朋友，有加入面子书的，不要说上面子书的次数，就拿平时我们聊天的话题就好了。我打个我亲身经历的例子，

“嘿，你知道那个某某某，住在我们以前旧家后面一排街的小凯，他下个月要结婚了? ”
“我以为你们不认识，你怎么知道他的事？”
“他面子书上不是有写吗？”

“嘿，那个谁和谁在一起，好像是小三，破坏别人幸福，你看她的留言都是骂她的！活该！”

“哇，你来看，她怎么啦？最近写的东西都很emo，什么对你好一百次你也不领情，只错一件事就定死罪！我和你说他一定是那样。。。。酱。。。。这样。。。。。”


还有无数等等等的日常对话，我相信有面子书的用户都有经历。
但往往我们只管自己写、自己评论、甚至有些不停散播，转发负面的文字信息，我不仅仅说的是一些18sx的信息，而是一些把人生涂黑的文字信息，把朋友家人爱人都可抹黑的文字。
语言的力量很强大，当你只有一秒的时间分享负面信息，看到的人自然有负面情绪，还会莫名开始怀疑身边的人，甚至怀疑自己，这是多么可怕的恶性循环。


在上几个月，有一位很出名的小三，网络是那样写我们也跟着那样的称呼了。大家很自然把她定了死罪，不停留言咒骂、热烈讨论、转发再转发，可能大家心态是打抱不平，当时闲话聊聊，其实她也不是我们的谁，我们说了这些没怎样，但我相信她很快被击垮，不仅仅在面子书上，甚至她日常生活也被搅乱。可能不是一天一个月的事，就可能破坏影响别人一辈子的幸福。


我们很多时候路过别人的幸福，但请不要打扰别人的幸福。
我们每个人不是圣人，也有犯错的时候，我们寻求原谅的同时不要紧抓别人的过犯，
每个人都值得拥有幸福，人生不需要太多揭穿，只需要守护着我们自己稳稳的幸福。



谢谢。

梦

人为什么会做梦？
梦其实是帮助协调人体心理世界平衡的一种方式。由于人在梦里以右脑半球活动占优势，而醒来后以左侧大脑半球占优势。在机体24小时昼夜活动的过程清醒和梦的交换出现，可以达到神经调节和精神活动的动态平衡。

相信每个人都有做梦的经验

我很喜欢梦 一度沉醉在梦里的世界无法自拔

以前小时候我和弟弟妹妹很喜欢分享我们的梦境

常常问妈咪 为什么我们会做梦？为什么昨天弟弟出现在我梦里的？

我妈咪给我一个很有趣的回答 

“哦 那是因为你们睡觉的时候 身体里的灵魂就出来玩耍了 刚好遇到弟弟的灵魂就一起咯”

小时候 希望梦到很好玩的梦 

我记得有一个梦很长很长 我连续梦到同样的地方和事情 

梦里的我坐着长途火车  我从火车的窗户探出头来  很多次因为掉下火车醒了

接下来好几天都梦到一样的  很奇怪对吧

那时最讨厌的恶梦就爸爸妈咪不要我了 每一回醒来都哭湿了枕头

长大后 希望梦到很浪漫的事

我管它不切实际  但我渴望在梦里大家都喜欢我

梦到世界不和平 纷争 憎恶 吵架 不公平的事 早上起来会莫名的害怕和伤感

很多时候我多希望梦不会醒来 让我继续在梦里 

多希望夜长些 因为害怕清醒 发现现实的梦可能会残忍些

Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok

Sorry that  had to postpone this post on my trip to Bangkok. 

I was too busy preparing for my Action Research Presentation.

So, let me get back to Bangkok. If you ask me which is the best market in Thailand?

I definitely answer Chatuchak Weekend Market!!!

Chatuchak Weekend Market (Jatujak) is one of the world's largest weekend market 

covering an area of 700 rai (27 Acres).

It is divided into 27 Sections with more than 15,000 booths selling goods from every part of Thailand.

Almost everything can be found here at local prices.

You can get books, furnitures, clothes, shoes, plants, local foods, lights, hand made soap, silks and more. =) 

Chatuchak Weekend Market is open from 8 am to 6 pm on weekends

I suggest you to go in the morning so that you will have more time to spend there as it practically takes a lot of time to cover the entire market area. 

You can straight away take your breakfast and lunch and shopping here for the whole day =)

Thailand's weather is super hot. So, remember to put sunscreen before you go outside or else your skin will surely be kissed red by the hot sun =)

And also bring along a HUGE shopping bag! Or else bring along your small luggage,  and better still the one with rollers. I'm not kidding you, many tourists do so =)

Flowers around me =). Just as beautiful as me, I guess.. hahaha

Who can resist coconut ice cream in such hot weather?

A must try when you go to Thailand =)

Only 39 baht

There are also shops which have proper roof and can shelter you from the sun.

Phew,,,what a relief to escape from the hot sun for a little while.

I don't know what they call this

It is a kind of homemade ice stick.

The man shook the machine and let the water freeze on to a stick and hey..we have the ice stick

Only 5 baht =)

The girls after shopping for more than 5 hours.

Exhausted...but not giving up. LOL

Tips for you

1. Before You Go To Chatuchak Weekend Market

Plan well before you go to ensure you have a fun and great shopping experience at Chatuchak!

- Wear light and comfortable clothes e.g short/t-shirt/ sandals

- Protect yourself against the sun e.g umbrella/ sunglasses/ hat

- Bring a shopping bag

- Prepare enough water

- Bring enough cash. Mostly no credit card accepted by the stalls

- Beware of pickpockets. 

- Get free maps from the information counter

2. How to get to Chatucahak

- Skytrain (BTS) to Mo Chit Station, take exit no 1.

- Subway (MRT) to Chatuchak Park station (exit no. 1)

- Taxi - easiest way but you might caught in heavy traffice

- Tutu - I don't suggest you to take a Tutu if you buy  a lot

The good you do eventually comes back to you

- ThanksQ Dr. S for sharing =)

Relationship

4.07 am.
Insomnia
Couldn't sleep...Maybe of caffeine!
Recently, one of my friend asked me a question
" How to keep warm of a relationship?"
I din't answer her since I think I'm not a good lover.
and also thank you because your question helped me reflect on myself too   

Relationship is the universal challenge that provides opportunities for learning to everyone who has been born. From birth to death no one can escape that challenge. Some of us find it pleasurable. Some give up. There is no definite answer on how to build a perfect relationship. But, for sure a good relationship will bring happiness in your life  

Many of you might not know that I'm in a long distance relationship with a guy whose name is Seang . =)

My friends always ask me the same questions.

·        " How do you keep in touch ?"

·        " Have you ever think of give up?"

·        " How are you managing this relationship? "

·        " Aren’t you  worried  that  he might also have another relationship over there?"

If I tell you I never worry about all the above, I am surely lying.

I'm here in Malaysia and he has been studying  in Sydney since 2010. The distance between Malaysia to Sydney is 6,669 km.

How good if Doremon exists  in this world so that he can bring him to me and the blink of the eye!!!

Anyway, I do have some principles that I follow. For me,  to maintain a long distance relationships you will need  the following:

·        Love

·        Trust

·        Belief

·        Patience

( * and also a smart phone, LOL)

It is difficult but that doesn't mean these are  impossible.

Let me elaborate:

1 . Communicate everyday

Since you won't be seeing each other, it's important to establish and maintain an emotional connection. It is not necessary  to have  long or in-depth conversations.You can tell each other about your little triumphs and tragedies.

We never skip our morning and night greeting since the beginning of our relationship 8 years ago

" Good morning dear"

A simple short message from him can made me cheer up the whole morning

" Good night"

No matter how tired we are, maybe we are in a fight or argument.

*Sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood or angry
" Goodnight and bye!"

hehehehe

2 Get to know each other

Just like any relationship, you'll have to spend some time really getting to know and understanding your partner.

Take note of things they enjoy the most

Do a little research on it so you can have more common topics.

For example, if your partner is a  coffee lover

So, you should plan a date in a café with a romantic ambience.

*If you need suggestions on t great cafes in Alor Setar, you can refer to my  previous posts

I know he likes

 - Eating (common interest with me)

- Remote Controlled Cars / Tool o car/ Accessories ( Tamiya)

- Calculation (I'm week in this part)

- Playing the Piano

- To mind  his own business

- ME!!

3 Support each other 

We need support from others to build up our confidence .

If your partner is ever in a trouble, or hurt, or sad,

be there for them.

,

your words, your action would  mentally support him or her.

He is definitely my soul mate, 

I don't know how to write in words...he can sense my feeling everytime even when I'm silent.

4  Celebration

Valentine, “Monthsary”, Birthday, Special Day 

How to celebrate without him or her?

Hello, use your creativity!

If you have a good voice, you can record a love song for your partner.

Collect the photos of both of you and create  an electronic album

Choose a present and wrap it nicely and send it to her/ him

I feel lucky to have a boyfriend who always surprises me 

Each month on the  25th we will remind each other of our monthsary =)

5 Create trust

Try your best to be faithful.

You can be best friends with others but you must know your limits

Avoid putting yourself in situation where you would be tempted and let your partner know that there's nothing to worry about.

Don't be too anxious or jealous of what your partner does.

A little space is harmless and will definitely  keep things calm.

Well,  I sometimes don't trust him

Luckily he always patiently explains to me and also I'm so forgetful. LOL

6 Talk about the future together

Assuming that ultimately you'd want to live together, 

discussing how're you going to get to the point will help you prove to each other that the relationship always continues 

- Figure out who is moving so that you can be together in future

- Decide a reasonable target time to move

- Plan long-term finances. 

We talk about our future too.

Some of my best friends have asked

"Hey, when are you gonna marry Seang?"

I said around age of 29/30

I like to talk to him about our future

we will only make concrete plans when we are more stable in our careers.

7 Visit Often

Try to visit each other as often as possible or as often as your budget permits.

A relationship cannot thrive if the only thing you have is the phone call.

You need to see each other in person at every opportunity.

Visit regularly if possible  =)

We used to visit each other during the holidays.

He came to Kedah to experience the different lifestyle here, unexpectedly he loves it here

I went to Australia  to check out whether he got another relationship or not (just kidding)

No doubt, I liked Sydney =)

We also meet at our hometown. We have the same hometown luckily.

Sometimes, we have no plan for anything

So we end up  watching dramas, cooking, playing the piano etc.

We love to travel. Every December, we travel to a new place. 

Going to places where  nobody knows us, and choosing  romantic restaurants to have dinner,

Walking  together by the sea or just about anything else we can do together

Love is patient and kind;

love does not envy or boast;

it is not arrogant or rude.

It does not insist on its own way;

it is not irritable or resentful;

it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoice with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, 

hopes all things, endures all things. 

Corinthian 13:4-7
