The Journey Goes On
不知不觉，小嵻已来了浮罗山背五个月。
这五个月里，从一个完全没有经验的新手级民宿主管兼浮罗导游，升级成了精通浮罗小路、管理能力略有提升的主管以及通晓单车各部位的修理工。技术上确实提升了不少，而心灵和思维上也收获不浅。短短五个月，小嵻遇到了很多不一样的人，从他们的故事，小嵻领悟了不少人生。
先来说说导游这份工作吧。小嵻本身是蛮喜欢当导游的，只是有时遇到比较烦人的顾客就另当别论了。但是大致上，友好的顾客多过麻烦的顾客。当了五个月的导游，小嵻第一次从顾客身上得到一些小贴示。这些小贴士是由上图（一）右边这位阿嬷赏小嵻的，因为小嵻当了阿嬷的私人司机。。哈哈。。另外，上图（二）的这些跨国朋友也赏了小嵻一点贴示，他们说就当作是他们赞助小嵻的小小旅费。虽然只是小小的贴示，但是对小嵻而言已经是大大的回报了。真的很感恩啊！
接下来就说说小嵻在民宿的生活吧。一些极度烦人的顾客是难免的，但是这些只要忍一忍就过去了。对于小嵻造成比较多困扰的是民宿里那位懒惰又不负责任的女佣。详情小嵻就不说了，小嵻想说的是刚开始时小嵻真的无法忍受这位女佣的工作态度，很多事情都要小嵻亲自动手，要不然就是要为这位女佣不负责任的工作收拾手尾。小嵻有一段日子真的是过得很不开心，开始向老板投诉埋怨。后来当小嵻静下心来想想时，小嵻心想小嵻一直都鼓励别人不要埋怨，可是当不好的事情发生在小嵻身上时，小嵻也情不自禁的埋怨起来。这对小嵻的信念起了冲突。所以，小嵻决定换个心态，接受这位女佣的不好之处，不要以埋怨的心处理一切。小嵻发现，即使情况没有改善，但是改变心态后的小嵻变得更加快乐了，与女佣相处得更加融洽，负能量也慢慢与小嵻离去。这是小嵻在这里所学到的其中一个最宝贵的课程。心态改变人生的乐与愁，当心中没有了坏人，世界一切都是美好的。
最后，小嵻就来说说接下来的打算吧。起初，小嵻原定要在浮罗待上两年的，但是后来小嵻发现两年时间实在是太长了，有点浪费小嵻的青春。并不是小嵻不喜欢浮罗，只是小嵻觉得青春是有限的，不应该在一个地方待太久。小嵻打算最多在浮罗待到明年，然后就要到西马其他美丽的地方去探险了。小嵻并没有打算要到哪个特定的地方，只是心想能带着一辆单车骑到哪就到哪。或许这就是探索的乐趣所在，因为你永远不知道你会发现多么美丽的风景。目前小嵻打算在西马探索一年，过后就要出国流浪了。到时小嵻就会大大力推广《小嵻流浪记》，希望大家多多支持啦！
It's Been 5 Months Since I Came to Balik Pulau
Within 5 months, from an inexperience manager as well as a Balik Pulau tour guide, I have transformed into a tour guide that knows almost all the small and hidden paths in Balik Pulau, a manager with a little bit of managing skills and a mechanics that can repair almost all parts of the bicycle. Well, I certainly have developed some useful skills and my mind and soul have definitely leveled up. In this short 5 months, I have met with lots of people from different places with different stories. This give me some hints as how I should live my life to be a better and happier person.
First, let's talk about my tour guide job. It is an interesting job for me and I really love it. Only that sometimes when it comes to some troublesome customers, it will put me down a little bit. Yet, in overall, there were more nice and understanding customers compare to the irritating one. After being tour guide for 5 months, I have earned myself some small amount of tips from the customers. The tips were given by the granny from the first picture (most right) as shown above as I have became the personal driver for this granny during the tour. The three foreign friends from the second picture also gave my some tips as a little sponsor for my journey to come. Though it wasn't much, but it was a great reward for me as knowing that there are people out there who appreciates my effort. Thanks!
Next, let's talk about my life while staying in the guesthouse. Well, some irritated customers cant be avoided but it can be get over with some patience. What trouble me more is the lazy and irresponsible housekeeper. At first, I really cant stand the way this housekeeper do her job, I have to clean up the things that she left undone. Because of this, I wasn't happy for a period of time and I started complaining to my boss. However, after I calmed down a little, I started to think that was't that I have always encourage people to stopping the complaints and live a happy life? But when bad things happen on me, why am I starting to complain as well? Wasn't that contradict to my principle of life? Therefore, I try to change my attitude by stop complaining and accept every single bad thing of the housekeeper. Soon, I realised that I live a happier life than before and my bonding with the housekeeper has become better. This is one of the most valuable lessons that I have learn at here. Our attitude affects our happiness in life. When there are no bad people in our heart, everything else feels better.
Lastly, let's talk my future plan. When I first came to Balik Pulau, I actually planned to stay for 2 whole years in Balik Pulau. However, I soon realised that 2 years is too long to stay at one place and I kinda feel like my youth shouldn't be wasted on just one place. So, I am planning to stay at Balik Pulau at most until next year and gonna start exploring the other beautiful parts of Peninsular Malaysia. I didn't exactly plan where to go yet, just that I feel like whenever the bike can take me should be fine. Well, that is the fun part of exploration after all as we never know what kind of beautiful scenery awaits us. I plan to spend one year on the exploration of the Peninsular Malaysia and then will start to explore the foreign country. That is when my true journey will be started and I hope to get more support from you all! Thanks! :)
