Making the Right Decision

Making a major decision is the most difficult time of my life. It's difficult because when you are at crossroad you will have to decide which is road to choose. Left road or the right road? It's more like a puzzle, isn't it? Making a wise decision is never easy. We can never take this lightly nor can we ignore making decisions. Infact, we make decisions almost everyday in our daily lives. But do all our decisions turn out right? Well, not all decisions turn out right.

So what ever we road choose or what ever decision we make, we will somehow have to face the consequences we make. If we choose the wrong road, then whalla..sambaba we are gonna end up feeling miserable. So how are we going to make a wise decision? This is what I have learnt from my previous experience of making decisions. It does work. I do believe there will be more to add on the list in the years to come. ;)

1. Seek advice from wise and elderly people. They have a lot to teach us.
2. Pray about it.
3. Read the bible, there are many wise sayings in Proverbs.
4. There will be a peace in your heart, when your doing the right thing.
5. Decision can never be made base on feelings. Because feelings can always change. :P
6. And remember what ever decision we make, there's consequences.

Trip to Pulau Jerejak

Two weeks ago, we made a trip down to Pulau Jerejak . Pulau Jerejak was previously established by the British to isolate lepers patient from the Straits Settlement in Penang, Singapore and Melaka. At the beginning only lepers were allowed to reside on the island. However, later on Tuberculosis patients were also quarantine on the island and followed by criminals in 1960's.

I am grateful that I had my chance to visit Pulau Jerejak. But seeing the surrounding of the island, I realize there was actually nothing much on the island. Except you can play the outdoor activities specially designed for team building. You know…the usual team building games such as board climbing, flying fox, archery, pinball, jungle tracking and etc. We only spend an hour in Pulau Jerejak walking around. Overall, the place was quite boring!

For those who have not been to Pulau Jerejak and would like to take a look, you can get a ferry at the Jeti Jerjak near to Gold Coast (Penang) residential area. A ticket for an adult will cost you RM12 . It's not that expensive. I have put up some pictures I took at Pulau Jerejak. Hope you like them. ~Prudence
