little things make a big difference

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

May peace be upon you all…

I currently finished reading an interesting book


Little things make a big difference by Laurin Sydney

This book does really ring a bell to me.
On how, I sometimes forget and often, underestimate the power of little, simple things in life.

One page of the book that I found I really like it a lot is about:

Complimentary Compliments (from page 18)

“…The power of a genuine compliment is immense. I know that your mom taught you to find the good in everything…. so when you do find it, speak up! It’s free, and the impact can be miraculous.”

I remember, few days ago, a stranger gave me compliment inside the elevator.

She says: “you look so beautiful with your hijab, I think hijab suits you a lot”

And I was so surprised listening to her, knowing that she starred at me since the first second I walked into the elevator.

So thanked her before she got off at the basement.

Those seconds of moment really did change my energy.

Laurin said “miraculous”…maybe that describes the word.

According to some Indonesian friends I have, here in Indonesia, we weren’t really educated to compliment people, unlike the western culture.

But hey, since you have read my writing, wouldn’t you practice a new, inspiring habit which impact can be miraculous to others?

I would… ☺

Experiencing IMAX!

Sunday, July 4th 2010 at 10:00AM : Shrek The Final Chapter.

I was hesitating at first. Should I or should I not watch Shrek 4 in IMAX, since I am having a love-hate relationship with 3D cinemas.

Most of the times I experienced dizziness after the movie session. I remember last time I watched Avatar, which you might all know, the movie was quite long, I had a terrible headache after the movie. It was not caused by the story line, graphics etc. It because I chose to watch it in a 3D cinema not the standard one.

I am actually curious about IMAX, as I have been listening to people's comments about the upsides and downsides of it.

My decision to give it a go was perfectly right! I love the 3D there! HUGE screen, better quality 3D!
It is way better than the local cinemas where I normally go.
Although they have these new cinemas with 3D, but still, it is not the same. Even the atmosphere is different.

Thanks SS! it was such a lovely company for the earliest movie session I have ever had. ☺☺

Looking forward to watching the next movie(s) in IMAX!



Bisous.
