Bangau oh bangau


It’s been past a week from my awesome 10 days Mulu trip. All the pain and bruises has gone :-) It was one of the most challenging, exciting, fun and tough journey I had. I’m glad I did it before I get older and older. The trip was not a cup of tea for me… but I know its worth all the pain and effort. Now, I’m still in the office… I need to catch up things… and clear up my table before its get worst. Will upload the photo soon :-)

Do you know how we sometimes find excuses and blame when things do not go our way? Remember that rhyme we use to learn when we were small, "Bangau oh Bangau, kenapa engkau kurus? Macam mana aku tak kurus, ikan tidak timbul. Ikan oh Ikan kenapa kau tak timbul? Macam mana aku nak timbul, rumput panjang sangat. Rumput oh rumput kenapa panjang sangat? Macam mana aku tak panjang kerbau tak makan aku. Kerbau oh kerbau kenapa tak makan rumput? Macam mana aku nak makan, perut aku sakit" ...and so the story goes. See how we tend to find excuses, blame and finger point? So, when we give excuses, it’s called “bangau-ing”.

It takes strength to choose to stop being a victim and accept responsibility of my own actions. The truth is, I’m very well know whatever reasons or excuses (i.e. Bangau) i give can be solved and that there are many choices and ways to solve the problem. But I just choose to keep on mem – bangau sahaja…

So, now…I’m trying so hard to stop mem-bangau, take charge, get it done and move on. Somehow Mulu trip has inspired me to stop mem-bangau. Good luck Sue dan Bangaunya :-D !

Mem-bangau? Wow that's really original. In my opinion, if you put hearts into anything, there will no single room for mem-bangau.
