YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL?
NEVER ACCEPT THE DEFINITION OF YOUR LIFE FROM OTHERS. WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU IS NOT IMPORTANT.
IT’S YOUR LIFE, DEFINE IT YOURSELF.
LEARN TO BE AN INDEPENDENT THINKER.
THE ONLY VALIDATION YOU NEED IS YOUR OWN.

Life is complicating as it is. It does not need help
from you or me to complicate things even further.
Live simply.
ONE SMILE AT A TIME – THAT’S ALL IT TAKES FOR ANYONE TOP LIVE A HAPPIER LIFE.

LIFE ITSELF IS A PRIVILIGE. WE ARE BORN TO LIVE.
WHAT WE DO FROM THE TIME WE ARE BORN TO THE TIME WE MEET OUR MAKER AGAIN; THAT IS ENTIRELY UP TO US.
LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, THAT IS A CHOICE.
I CHOOSE TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST WITH PASSION.

DON’T CRY OVER THE PAST. IT’S GONE.
DON’T STRESS OVER THE FUTURE. IT HASN’T ARRIVED.
LIVE IN THE PRESENT.
MAKE EVERY MOMENT BEAUTIFUL;
FOR THERE IS NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN A PERSON WHO GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE
LIFE BEAUTIFUL FOR OTHERS.

EVERY SITUATION HAS CHANGED ME AS A PERSON. I STILL LOOK AT MYSELF AND WANT TO IMPROVE. THERE ARE SO MANY “ROUGH EDGES”.
I FEEL LIKE I’VE JUST BEGUN TO LEARN….LEARN NEW THINGS.
LIFE IS INTERESTING.

Date: August 26 and August 27, 2023
Time: 10.00am to 4.00pm (can be extended to 7.00pm)
Can you believe it? July’s ending was lingering on and I was enjoying all the spoils from the fun and excitement during August. And now it’s August’s turn to have its own month end.
Jeannie, the renowned batik influencer and I, the pulse (?) of http://www.leatherpotato.com will be there, at the most famous bazaar and Flea Market in Malaysia. Where is this most famous bazaar and Flea Market in Malaysia held? Why, Amcorp Shopping Mall in PJ (Petaling Jaya) of course!
The batik influencer was busy readying radiant new pieces of her famed batik cape creations. Meticulously matched, the pieces of batik put together to form clothing, desirable for both casual and formal wear will make their way to new owners this weekend. There will be many conversations on batik as usual. What more, the government encourages the government employees to don or strut their in their batik wear at least once a week.
I have items that I am putting on sale for the first time this weekend. One of them is the Samsung Galaxy A52 smartphone. It is like new. Used only once to back up my stuff from my Samsung S21 Ultra when I sent it in for repairs. The A52 in in a nice Mystic (I think) blue.
I have an Acer Swift 5 notebook to find a new owner. I need to do a factory reset before it goes on sale.
Over the weekend, I will get to meet my new old friend, Khatijah Marianne Abdullah again. I sure am looking forward to meeting her. Ladies and guys, visit her at her booth “ANNE ROCKS”. Her art on rocks are simply amazing. You guys must stop by.
Kay sells Indian ladies costume jewelry accessories. Go visit her if you want unique accessories to match your everyday outfits. Not to forget; visit the Ipoh Muruku – Level 3. This lady and her husband travels almost 3 hours from Ipoh every weekend to sell her Muruku at this funfare of excitement. That is what this bazaar / flea market is.
This weekend, the batik influencer and I will be at a different location once again – FL26. It is located on Lower Ground Floor. Come look for us. We can chat on what’s cooking (pun intended) at Leatherpotato.com. For one, I have been getting the hang of the Insta360 Go3. My videos are “echk!” . However it is a good start. In the near future, I will pin my You tube channel “gotseethisone” to this website.
I invite all you readers to head down to Amcorp Mall over the weekend. Lets make lots of happy noise. It usually is the case when we are there. Lots of car stories to be shared. Lets talk more on how I should shape my book to be. I welcome ideas on what should go into my book that I am writing.
See you at FL26.
Life is how you make it out to be. It is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
It is entirely up to you. You choose.

NOTES:
1. Choice tracks.
Happiness has its own set of problems.
It is contagious. Happiness is a “bug”. It is infectious. Spreads beyond our control. Spreads by sight. Spreads by sound. Spreads by feelings.
Happiness absorbs all spoken languages. It is understood in all languages. Happiness says a lot even without having to utter a word.
Not having plenty in worldly possessions does not hinder you from having plenty in happiness.
Happiness is over-flowing in abundance. It is not far away, it is everywhere.
Just reach out and “touch” it without having to physically touch it.
The greatest thing about happiness is the ability for it to be shared by you, to others.
Press the “ACCEPT” button in your life to activate happiness.

P.S.: Remember to take your daily dose of Vitamin “h” for happiness and spread it to others.
