Happy 64th Merdeka Day Malaysia! Guess our battle now is Covid-19 which I consider as a war too. Right now, I believe all of us around the world are affected by this virus somehow.
I never thought that I am unable to travel due to a virus. I usually think that the only limitation for me to travel frequently will be money. I always whisper to my heart, "Hey, It's okay if your work is hard now, work hard then travel hard" and then BAM! Coronavirus comes so quickly. No travel, no dining.
Then, my preceptive change, how I'm going to be mentally prepared every time I faced difficulty during working? I registered for a horseriding class! It was delayed a few times due to pkp.
There are few things that I have learnt during my lessons.
1) How to prep a horse before riding, put them with saddle and bars on their mouth.
2) How to feed and them (they eat twice a day)
3) How to ride them, trotting and canter, although I am still unable to do canter up until now :')😅
I love horses💓, they are funny, delicate and sensitive. What I meant by sensitive is that they will know when you are fear. They will bully you. So, before you ride a horse, try to relax and calm yourself. To be honest, I still learning to do so.
I'm not a very good rider, I can say. Maybe because I'm too soft-spoken, which makes the horses harder to listen to my instruction. With my body language, I wasn't that clear too which make the horses confuse sometimes. I could not blame them, I was confused too.
Although my horseriding class wasn't as smooth as I expected, I learnt a lot. I learn how to communicate better, be more patient and trusting which I was really bad at. I'm sure I will join another class in the future.
Besides that, I changed my job this year. I quit my 3 years old position in a new town and meeting new people. There are a few things that my old job teach me. First, leave whenever you felt like you were not appreciated. We think that it's okay to stay as long as we get paid, but staying at a place that didn't appreciate you is very toxic.
Secondly, leave with no conflicts and drama. Based on my experience, many people leave with drama and conflicts with their bosses or HR. I think we should leave the job with no conflicts because we should have clean records and many networking as possible.
My first job also thought me a lot of things such as dealing with users, communicating, and planning things. Which I wasn't thought in my degree before.
Last week, I got my finger stitches. Which unlock me with new things I guess. I never had anything stitch on me before. Well, it hurts like hell. The moment when the doctor injects you with numbing, it felt like someone stab you. I got stitches because I cut off my left-hand ring finger while cutting a stupid carrot. The stitches will remove this Friday. I'm really nervous.
