Shopping in seminyak
For those expecting to bask in an air con environment in seminyak, you are in the shock of your life.
This area of bali is not very accessible to vehicle except for motocycle if you consider renting one.
There is only 1 shopping center; seminyak village which is pretty small compared to shopping malls in city area.
All around of shop houses selling
- clothing
- novelty products
-swim wear
-hand made craft
- polo
- eatery
- pub
- mini mart
- cafe
- dvd shops
At that point which I went, shops are capitalising on the Halloween festival.
Bali culture and history
Today is my 2nd day in bali!😃
Love this place and have experience lots of new things about their culture.
For starters, bali is predominantly made up of Hindu and is a small state compromising of 5 millions people.
Am staying at seminyak and I realised that the building there is mainly 2 storey high with a rare few that are 3 storey high.
Nearer the beach area, you have to be careful of motorists as they will drive on the pavement or narrow street.
Don't be surprised to see 2 vehicles being stuck in a one way street as both are traveling in opposite direction.
As a whole, around this area,there are lots of drinking place and tourists. It is generally safe to walk about in the day and in the main beach alley at night.
For those who are afraid of the dark, the beach is very dark in some area. Do remember to bring at torch.

What is meant by being professional
Not work that is tiring, it's the dealing with people part
It is the people portion that is tiring to dealing with because human are unpredictable and it is usually always the case of every man for himself and human nature to usually label a boogeyman in the flock for everyone to target at, hoping others will not target them.
Because of these laws, you can see people pushing away work they are supposed to do or in short taichi to the boogeyman.
It is natural to feel tired, toxic and negative.
These people thrive on such negative mentality and it is natural to sometimes feel is it right to join them or be outcast yourself.
This happen in school, in work and even in a community (sports, volunteering, interest group)
What should be done to deal with it?
Be yourself in school, be professional in work and be passionate in your community.

Critics are everywhere
In life, someone will surely criticise you no matter what you do. One thing is for sure, no one likes to be criticise.
And same goes for work. If the work given to you is reasonable, you are lucky. But if the work given to you is not reasonable, you are dealt an unlucky card in life. You can deliver and you are criticise.
There is no other way out sometimes but to look at the person who dealt you that card straight in the eye and said you done your best.
Don't for a moment hope the person will understand you. No one will know best except for yourself.
That's why if you done your best, good job. The rest can let the critics decide. What most important is you got what you want in life or moving towards it.

Another phase of life: maturity
After surviving the tsunami of events and work, I feel like I grew a lot.
At one point, I was mentally exhausted and broken. There is so much to do but so little time to complete.
And to add to it, there is so many people chasing after you for every minute details and ppl who have a very bad habit of not taking ownership of their work.
I worked day and night, not taking any leave nor medical leave; coming back on some. I even worked during my off-day and there wasn't much personal time where I can contemplate and think about life or feel life.
Surviving all that is not enough, I was mentally scarred and physically drained. I managed to get a couple of days off schedule ahead where I came across a series of video from goal cast.
One video is by a marshal who quote
"Life is like a ocean, full of sharks. To deal with shark you got to stand your ground, do not show that you are afraid and swim away. If the shark still approach you, you got to muster all courage to punch the shark in the snouts".
That reminds me of what Henn Tan, the creator of the USB thumb drive had said in Junior world entrepreneurship forum 2012.
At that time, he sharing of his experience after inventing the thumb drive.
