Backpacking

Backpacking is one of the things that I want to do, you could say it is one of my bucket list.

Today 13062019, I have the opportunity to realise one of my wish. I prepared my belonging two days before my iterinary, I do not have a lot to pack, I basically fit all I need in one backpack. Since my employer are asking me to work, I still work that day and had to rushed to the airport. My husband was helping me a lot, and I feel sorry for him that me agree to still working that day was putting him in a bit of pressure.

The journey was quite smooth even though it was 40 minutes late due to the late arrival and take off of one other plane that sharing the same runaway, the plane was packed with people. I was arrived on 14062019 at midnight, I had a pick up arrangement with one of car rental company in the airport.

I stay at Amazing Kuta hostel during my Bali trip, I was able to check in promptly and without a problem. The concierge took me to the second floor where the female dormitory is. The room has 8 beds, 4 bunk beds, and I was lucky that I don't have to climb to get to my bed.

The key for a happy backpacking is to expect less, generally it is the guide for all beings to be happy in life. You could have expectation, but don't expect all your expectations are to be met. My first experience in sharing room with 5-6 other women are okay, of course I need to be courteous, wary, and fully aware to my surroundings. At first because I enter the room at one o clock in the morning, I couldn't unpack my bag because it will be to noisy to others. The second is I couldn't go to the bathroom because the door was just too noisy and I can't get it open at the first try. The third is I found that the previous user of the bed that I am sleeping in was not a responsible person. She hid some of her food trash in the pop out table. This also means that the hostel cleaners have not done their jobs right. However, the bed was comfortable enough and the air conditioner was running in the correct temperature.

Overall, my first sleep in backpacker hotel was quite good. I had a first good impression on my backpacking journey.

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...

Entitlement

People say our young generation is entitled, it is a good topic to joke about for the stand-up comedians. Entitled is believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. I believe this is not owned by the young generation only, every generation has it, every one of us has it to some degree. This is a problem we have in society in any age, in any countries in this world. I remember when I was a kid, at night during the hot season our house was filled with mosquitos, and dengue fever are quite common in our country.  I can't remember whether I and my sister ever whined about it but I always remember the fact that my mother often stayed up late holding the insects killer racket just to defended us from the mosquitoes. However, My entitlement behaviour took the bad on me, I thought she ought to do that one because she is our mother, it's her duties to protect us. I did not really care how many hours she has spent at our room every night, or whethe...

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...
