<br />
i will just start with my Dot Journaling as i have lost my words on constructing a beautiful sentence like a real blogger.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">With the expansion of our business plan and rustic team, i have become the real "Jack of all trade; master of none" - however of course with this i am sharpening my skill into "Jack of All trade; Master of ONE". So how do i split my time? Juggling between work, exercise and as a mom. Dot Journaling does help a lot and with the support of good manpower, i am blessed with moving ahead. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Many has happened - some good and some bad,as we are trying to maintain ourselves into a truly innovative company, many hiccups and joy rider in between. We have staff working under us but silo-ing our job to his own company; staff who over comfortable and start building sub culture inside the business. I had gotten used to people rolling their eyes at one another when i spoke, thinking that i didn't notice, at times i feel alienated within my own company. </li>
<li>REWRITE -with Dot Journaling , i wish to jot down the daily values of what happened around the business, document it down,and ensure there are the cause and effect of our business model. </li>
</ul>

Its the Mid of 2016 ! <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Oh dear,<br />
<br />
It such a depression mode today, i couldn't explain how this holiday has remind me of my writing and blogging days.<br />
<br />
Having my 18 months daughter and expecting my second in 2 more months, nothing else i can plan ahead but to be a good mom for two little chipmunks whose gonna cling on me for the next 18 years.<br />
<br />
Only God could give me the strength to keep my sanity and keep myself motivated as a mother and an entrepreneur as Jack Mah - The owner of Alibaba.com said..<br />
<br />
At 20s - work for somebody, a boss that could lead you and be your mentor<br />
At 30s- Work and strengthen you field as this is the time you should be able to start something you are good at<br />
<br />
At late 30s- start you own and learn from your previous experience, never jump into other new field and this is when you can start develop your own empire<br />
<br />
At 40s- never look back<br />
<br />
At 50s- you should be able to relax and employ young people who could work for you because they are better and more productive then you are<br />
<br />
At 60s- enjoy you veteran hood and be by the beach - Relax and chilled.<br />
<br />
Just a little booster over the long holiday..<br />

弟弟<span style="font-size: large;">,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 很谢谢你这三个月来为RUSTICBORNEO默默的协助和配合,真的委屈了你,为了我们一个小小的公司,你得受约束,而时常给我这个姐姐 老板娘责骂,希望我所指点的一切,你都能铭记在脑海里,因为我所指点的一切,是给你在外工作也好、自己做生意也好,一个很重大的人生原则。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">虽然我们是小公司,也是你愿意而协助,但我也希望,你能够学到生意上,行政(management),以及做生意的的好处,当然,我声明了好多好多次,一个组织里是需要"synergy",团结一致,才能步步高升,没有一个人是不重要的,就好像一个家庭一样,爸爸,妈妈,都是我们生活上的栋梁,只是在一个公司,我们的目标是利润;在家庭里,我们的目标是“爱”。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 在这短短的三个月里,我有几句positive comment,是完全对你的品格(身为我弟弟的)一个提升自己的大章碍,希望你看了能够“改变”;告别腐败!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1)<b>爱自己,别人才能爱你(Remember Law of Attraction)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Joe,是一个很好的榜样,他谦虚,并没有对“钱”有贪的心念,打从RUSTIC BORNEO 只有桌子INTERNET,他从不对任何SUPPLIER/AGENT 有自己的一套,也从不把公司成册搞乱,换句话说~他的刻苦和勤劳,换来了所有所有“higher level management 的respect,敬佩”是上司愿意和他平起平坐。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">他爱自己,爱他的工作,也努力的进修( communication, photographying etc),他有今天的成就,我佩服,我也为他开心,因为我和他有了一份友谊的</span><span style="font-size: large;">爱。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 2)<b>尊敬他人;他人</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>才会尊敬你 (投我以桃,报之于李)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">你是一个senior staff, 你会叫hazel合wendy和我说bye boss,那你对我说话的语气,上班时间随意进出桌位,这一切都会给JUNIOR 一个不好的榜样。当然,我希望你不要把这些COMMENT 放在心里,而要好好学习,上班的规矩,应为,全世界各地的机构,公司,都会有他的规则。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <b>3) 觉发自己的潜能,专注,好好进修,水月不留人</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">在这短短的三个月里姐姐也知道你学了不少人士知识(一切好与不好)的一面。如果你要去中国,欧洲,世界哪一个角落,度假也好,做工也好,希望你有一个目标!应为岁月不留人,可能你在打江山的时候,爸妈可没那么多机会再和你度过岁月。希望你能够给爸妈一份安心,也给“你的爱人,及你所爱的人一个依靠 ”。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“人”是一个很奇怪的创始,没钱-就说要赚钱,有钱时就想东(ˇˍˇ) 想~西,人不是永远风光的,有的时候尽量谦虚,节俭,筹备以后“缘分”来时,好好的珍惜。</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">你要去中国,当然姐姐100%赞成,不过,跨国并不简单,跑完以后,现实的生活还是在等着,还是要干活!就好像外国人所说的"Turning Passion Into Action",把你爱的一切“行动”去实现它。姐姐一定支持你!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">最后,短短的三个重点,包容了很广的范围,不只是应为你在这个公司做,才要更改,到世界各地,也要记着</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Intro<br />
It was indeed a big step i have made to devote myself and dedicate almost all my attention ( for now) to this Danish viking i have met throughout my journey of self discovery. No doubt i am , and still a hipe and busy as ever Borneon girl ; but things must have happened for a reason and God must have planned this century ago.<br />
<br />
Culture<br />
Danish, generally are modest, punctual and above all, "equality" is an important aspects in their Danish way of life.Indeed, any deliberate attempt to distinguish oneself from the others may be viewed as disrespect or ironic autoconcept. "RESPECT" seems to be an unofficial code of Conduct in Scandinavia Way.<span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<b>My family in Denmark </b><br />
My family in Denmark consist of a big family of direct and extended family. Since separation or "divorce" is a common practice here. I am truly amaze that one can still be gentle, friendly and meeting each other as a family although they are officially divorce. I somehow encountered a culture shock, but after meeting a few couple in the same scenario, i guess this is just how "open heart" Scandinavians' are.<br />

<b>Hygge - Pronounce as "hyu-ge" (</b>approximately sounds like that<b>) </b><br />
This word generally represents the culture of Danish . It means relaxing with families or love ones.Often while enjoying good food and something to drink or creating a more cozy atmosphere by lighting up candles around house.The true moment of hygge can last till late midnight as drinking wine and beer is one of the tradition on a long summer evening.<br />

Fitness, wellness and dancing has turned into a revolution in North Borneo, Sabah, hype dance such as Zumba, Hip Hop, Belly dance and even Latino ballroom dancing has turned into a heat in Kota Kinabalu. Yesterday, 5th June, being an enthusiast in dance choreographing, i have the opportunity to witness the "<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1905688390"><b>YES Hip Hop</b></a> <b><a href="http://www.tamparulisabah.com/search/label/Youth%20Excellence%20on%20Stage%29%20Academy.">Kota Kinabalu's "Jesselton Street Jam</a>"</b> being sponsored by US embassy held in University Malaysia Sabah.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An explosive Hip Hop Culture have in common with a ragtime tune or rousing spiritual? Perhaps not much for a casual listener.Scholars of music who have put hip hop through academic wringer identify the same distinctive element of African music in the musical genres that Africans developed in the U.S and other countries where they first arrived as slaves. Hip Hop is the legitimate heir to a rich tradition of African American music- the latest continuum of music that mirrors the social condition in which it created.</div>
<br />
Obviously, it is now no more just for the African American, Hip Hop also affluent sub urban kids who endure the movement of swing, robotic, acrobatic and pump up kicks. The involvement of YES Academy who transform the cafe boys / backstreet boys as well as the village boys into a professional dancers creating local talent from wrack to glam.This culture also escaped local teenage from unhealthy culture such as gangsterism, violence an drug abuse. Dancing unite them and create a strong unity in their blood brother hood.<br />
<br />
Hip Hop was once made visible the inner culture of America's greatest social problem, its legacy of slavery, has spread globally. The music is calling,Over the years, K pop, Hip Hop and modern dance has gradually change, but the message is the same; the drums are pounding, They are telling us something, that the Generation Z is rocking ....We, shall allow them to buck up, reveal their confidence and attitude or they will be washed out by the world of globalization !<br />

"<b>Together we can do great things</b>!" was the tagline that attracts more then 100 participants who came and join "BFA Charity Dance Fiesta" please click <a href="http://www.melissasy.blogspot.com/2012/04/empowering-indigineous-woman-through.html">HERE</a> for event detail. For only RM 20 ( Euro 5.00), each participant can dance their way out, with proper "sweatxercise" technique and refreshment upon leaving the fiesta. On top of the healthy sweat out, the priceless value of reaching out to the indigenous woman of Borneo was one of the most encouraging turn out to the participants. Through the open concept Dance Fiesta- BFA has successfully raised RM500 to PACOS Trust - the indigenous woman sector as a token of encouragement and empowering them for a better living. </div>

of the TAR Marine Park. Manukan has good stretches of beaches especially on the
southern coastline. Ideal for snorkeling, diving and camping. There are also
accommodations available with excellent facilities. However, due to the
popularity of this particular island, the crowd congestion may be slightly

jetty, picnic shelters, barbecue pits, tables, changing rooms and toilets.
There are also hiking trails available through the interior which can provide

patches of coral at the southern end. The island is however, very popular for
those island hoppers who prefer the tranquil and untouched tropical beach
atmosphere. Plenty of naughty long tailed Macaque welcomes your arrival. So, be
careful with their snatch and begging behavior. This is the calmest and most quiet

<span lang="EN-US">These islands are easily access, perfect destination not only for
open water divers but also non divers. You can opt for the non diver package
and just chill in your cozy room. It all depends how you want your Christmas to
be, a romantic and quiet mode, or celebrating it with a warmth gathering among
family members. This is because Sabah is
blessed being well known as “Land below the Wind”. These islands are well
sheltered from the rough waters of the typhoon belt. Choose your desired island
according to your holiday theme; make your way to Jesselton Point at Jalan
Pantai, your holiday is just a doorstep away! </span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Borneo On Wings 2012 is a world class aviation sports event for Light, Microlight,Ultralight or experimental Aircraft held in Borneo particularly Sabah and Sarawak. This event is organized in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia, Sarawak Tourism Board and Sabah Tourism Board.It is Malaysia Sports Aviation Federation (MSAF) sanctioned 1st of its kind being held in Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Being introduce by Capt.Tom ( a good friend of mine) on the spearheaded team of fabulous 3, Willy, Jeff and Lorraince, i was aspired by their eagerness and 1Malaysia team spirit ;making this event a success in the eyes of the world. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><b>So i asked, Why Borneo?</b> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">Knowing Tom as senior captain for having more then 8000 hours under his wings in East Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak were already his second home. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">The various objectives aimed by BOW 2012 which particularly benefits the publicity of Sabah and Sarawak attract me the most. However for BOW, the aim to create a radically new Aviation Event for the World Aviation Calendar specifically for Light, microlight /ultralight and experimental aircraft is the main target. This world class aviation event took place by promoting the magnificent topography, mystical flora and fauna of Sabah and Sarawak and subsequently promote the isle of Borneo as an Private aviation Tourism Destination. Taking this exciting event, it is hope that this event could create a platform on which Light Sports Aircrafts, Experimental and Ultralight aviation can flourish and thus inculcate the interest to the young generation. </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The past "experience" ; is not something we can't let go. Although regret is something very unfamiliar to certain people. To regret means that part of ourself especially our soul is still lives in the past and doing so is not moving forward.As we grow older, we find it more important to live in a now. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As i get older, i realize that some things and people are important and some are not. I realize that truth and character are all that matters and those who truly loves you are to be cherished.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I also realize that success is made day by day, and accumulative effort that turns some one's passion into perseverance action. Tomorrow may never come and today maybe the last echo in time on one soul has to another. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I have no complaints at all of what transpired in 2011 for it was another phase of my life to be remembered and achieved, and one that forced me to learn some important lessons. Now 2012, i believe will be even a better and stronger year, as the past has made me better..<br />

They dragged the monkey in such hurry, big smile on their face and of course, they were not able to carry the monkey butt even. it was just too huge ! I quickly pull my car over and turned to them. I braked and i actually came out and chase after them. For one moment they thought i was a cop .. then i ask them to smile ..... and cheeeekkchaaaaak... i got this photo of them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

As far as i can remember, the last time i visited Kota Belud, when my grandpa was still alive and he used to hold my hand and walk around negotiating his marketing in Bajau languages.

With the compilation of 36 ethnic groups and more then 80 languages spoken here. Homestay is one of the most exciting and booming product in my country.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, a one month homestay in Manzan family, has given me a total change of my stereotyping mindset about the culture of Italy. Yes, they can be fashion up scale or food and wine critics, but their years civilization and enthusiasm in surviving skill has turn into world indulgence.<br />
<br />
Woke up by dawn to feed the hungry animals, and plucking plants for the preparation of lunch and dinner; just like how the Kudat, Sabah ( our indegeneous folks are doing, same fundamental with the concept of " Building community capacity by utilizing natural resources" , i know , it sounds boring and tough... but this is how i can describe in the shortest form...<br />

Before arrive Geneve, i have been trying very hard to get myself a backpacker lodge or bed and breakfast that could accommodate my budget. Clean, convenient and budget of course. Luck was not my side, just too bad, i didnt manage to get any room , even a bunk bed that i could shower and rest, till the last minute, Mounia ( a good friend of mine who had her intern in Sabah, please refer <a href="http://melissasy.blogspot.com/2011/03/her-first-attempt-in-sabah-asia-indeed.html">here</a>)<br />
<br />
My flight from Rome to Geneve was at 8 25pm arriving Geneve around 10 50pm. I was panic, wandering around Rome airport to get a WIFI spot that i could concentrate and search for a place to bunk in at least for a night upon my arrival.I mourn to everybody, i asked for help from anyone that i possibly could.There were no respond, none even from my brother.<br />
<br />
Till the very last minute i depart from Rome to Geneva Airport, Mounia text me a hotel reservation number, and it was a total relieved.<br />
<br />
The moment i arrived Geneva airport, i rushed to the information counter to ask about the address given. And i was recommended to take a cab as it is too late at night to go by train or bus. In my heart, i know this is going to be a challenging moment, due to language, absolute new to Swizz, plus no news from my brother upon my arrival.<br />
<br />
I walked to a taxi, it was a Mercedez Benz ( all the taxi were luxurious, Peugeot, Citreon, Merz and Renault ) what else could i say, i have to go with the flow.... gosh, i got on with an Albanian ! " oh my, in my heart, i just keep hoping that i will not be slotterd, cheated or being brought to a place and being robbed or being told to stripped.. my mind was shallow, i was exhausted, my mind only needs to get to hotel, after a whole day transit in Rome airport.<br />
<br />
He ( Hussein) the taxi driver speaks barely English, but he was trying to explain to me that, the address i gave to him is a Province under the country of France. I actually was shocked, how could it be? In the internet it said 12k from Geneva airport? And the address ended with Geneve..???? I started being alert, and keep my eyes wide open for the signage... but .. nothing is upon my creadibility. The French words are totally not understandable. I would just have to pray, and hope that i dont get kidnapped.<br />
<br />
We passed through tunnel, exit highway, and then entering another province, and toll... the roads are getting dark and we are entering into a village area that has no street light. I was nervous and i told Hussein to call the hotel for the exact direction. He said " Madam, you are at FRANCE..."<br />
<br />
" What??? FRANCE? NO .. NO.. im going to Geneva, you got it wrong...! please call the hotel " .. and so he did, but its 12am, no one pick up. And taxi meter charge rotating like a timer... i know . either i kill my budget, or i die in his hand...<br />
<br />
After an hour of search and round robin, asking around some drunken lorry driver at the bar near by, security on duty and even some passer by... we found the hotel... it was a typical motel at the BORDER of FRANCE and SWIZZ. OH MY GOSH... the amount of lorry parking outside the hotel , and the campervan .... i know this is a typical , local tourist hotel, that any foreign tourist will never know.<br />

Hussein, assisted me in getting my reservation sorted with the machine ( since its almost 1am, reception counter was closed and i can only deal with a FRENCH speaking machine), and even reduced the charges of taxi fee for me.<br />
<br />
That night, i was absolutely flat. Alone in this tiny room, I ARRIVE FRANCE OUT OF EXPECTATION, AND AM AT THE BORDER OF FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND. What an experience of my life !<br />
<br />
<br />
The moral of this experience is "Never trust the internet information 100%".<br />
<br />
Thank God i am still alive !<br />

</tbody></table>With the Rugby World cup fever spinning around Europe boys, it seems that every young woman will have to pick up a little about rugby jargon, or news in order to catch up a conversation with the "real" guys. So, here i am trying to get hold of what Rugby game is all about. Instead of learning the technique and match point.. i think i have learnt a lot more about the Italian Jargon during my first encounter as a totally unknown spectator.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Rugby- is a form of sport that developing a boy to a physical and mental fit man. In Treviso, Rugby is a passion for most of the man. Be it to themselves or developing it to their son at home. This is also a mode of developing the sense of belonging in a small community like Treviso.</div><div><br />
</div><div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Last week, I have the chance to watch a friendly match of UNDER-15 boys between Villorba and Oros of the neighboring district. They were humungous! Their size are double of most of the 15 years old boys in Malaysia. For one moment I thought, finally I will be able to see some “beautiful man” in action. Ha~ I was wrong, they are my little brothers whom Massi (the eldest son of Marco) will match with.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The coach speaks in his hoarse voice, reminding, alerting and keep pumping the spirit of the young horses, as they were performing their warm up session. <o:p></o:p></span></div></td></tr>

I can’t help but observed the “beautiful” man of this sophisticated “province” wherever I go; call me pervert or desperate ( or whatever you want), of course, without them noticing, moreover, being an Asian woman, I have a boundary issue with man, unless, meeting the person I love, i disappear into them. I am the permeable membrane. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Below description is solely my best ability to describe them, but pictures speaks a thousand words. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">To my taste, the men in Venice are ridiculously, hurtfully, stupidly beautiful. More beautiful than the French woman, which is to say , no detail spared in the quest for perfection. In short, they are like show poodles or Shitzu. The men here, work as much as they can physically, then sitting in the office most of the time. Well, it’s the pleasure of their passion.. and turning their passion into action. Some of them, even at their 50’s are surprisingly mascular … hmmm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkjdvlznx2s7hjAM6lMItQCQAJqUyZEDGh9ME07PgLZmwgOOpvA6uZsdAMjo2-7prZq8cIDF7RqVjmUL82_B_JpolYe-bxNmuN6lVrqDvfnMQRmCEP1Xp2kK7J6JHOqkLCOEkKw/s1600/141.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTkjdvlznx2s7hjAM6lMItQCQAJqUyZEDGh9ME07PgLZmwgOOpvA6uZsdAMjo2-7prZq8cIDF7RqVjmUL82_B_JpolYe-bxNmuN6lVrqDvfnMQRmCEP1Xp2kK7J6JHOqkLCOEkKw/s320/141.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The mushroom man, Massimo, a good friend of Manzen family at Auronzo and his passion about mushroom getting me excited with the various mushroom for the meal of the day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
