    “What the heck is a soliloquy? 😄😄😄 Ohhhh….cakap sorang-sorang.”

    Today I spoke by myself, then sent the 4 minutes 20 seconds recording to the other two members of our Accountability Triad.

    What the heck is an Accountability Triad?

    Three members accountable to own selves and accountable to each other.

    Every Friday from 8am to 8:30am we get on a Zoom call and update on each of our previous week’s declarations then declare our new goals for the coming week.

    Three members. Triangle. Prism. Get it? Hopefully the light that gets in refracts out as colours of the rainbow.

    (I also still have the vinyl for Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon album.)

    This week when the other two members were not available, I decided to keep the momentum with a soliloquy, and it doesn’t matter to me if they don’t replay it.

    Two of us started this in May 2022 as a dyad. It became a triad about a month later. May it go on and on, because we love it.

    I had agreed to this idea from the other member because I was partly inspired by Marshall Goldsmith’s “6 Daily Questions.”

    We do whatever works for us! 😁

  • Narration for video “Chasing and Being Mesmerized by The Northern Lights”

    ByHasannudin Saidin

    Below is the text (about 5-minute read) of the narration/voiceover for the video, “Chasing and Being Mesmerized by The Northern Lights” — the 30 minute video is embedded at the end of this post.

     

    ———————

     

    What was it

    that brought five souls

    to be chasing The Northern Lights?

     

    It must have been the dream

    and fantasy of seeing

    beauty and wonder

    created by God

     

    that made us spend more than 4 months

    – time, energy and money,

    preparing and planning

    to chase the Northern Lights

     

    making sure all the things that

    needed to be done

    were indeed all done

    and all organized.

    Get some popcorn, enjoy my half-hour movie below:

     

    Different Realities
    – Can’t I see what others may see?

    It was after the second night’s sighting of The Northern Lights that I asked my traveling party whether their eyes actually saw the green colour of the aurora.

    The Northern Lights had romanced with me in silver-grey!

    They were surprised. They did see green with their naked eyes.

    It’s not colour blindness that I have. It’s a kind of night blindness.

    “Reality may be different from what our eyes see,” my aurora tour host, Marek had said on the bus.

    I may not be able to change what my physical eyes can see.

    Other realities? Other perspectives?

    How I see and accept things in the world many times I have the ability to alter.

    There is choice.

    Choice includes accepting the reality I am faced with, like enjoying the aurora in silver-grey with the aid of another lens to see the true colours.

    Choice includes putting in the effort of finding alternate realities, changing my perspective, opinion, mindset and attitude when I need to.

  • Celebrating the Ironman and the Ironmates

    ByHasannudin Saidin

    Close to 20 family members of Rizal Khalid (his Ironmates) went to Langkawi to support and cheer him for his first Ironman race.

    It was raining almost throughout the race. HE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED.

    Congratulations, Rizal. How grueling it was. Now you are an Ironman!

    The sea was relatively calm for the 3.8km swim. The 180km cycling had him riding “blind” in the rain for 6 hours. He ran the 42km with blisters.

    Thank God there were no mishaps for him.

    The Ironmates were there for him through the rainy day and night. “Spectate. Wait. Celebrate.”

    Fitness and physical strength were not enough — past 13 hours and after halfway running, Rizal was all physically spent and in pain, and he pulled out all his mental energy to make it.

    After finishing, “anything is possible” has a true and intense meaning – especially for him, and also for the inspired us, his Ironmates.

     

     

  • Jump away in Europe

    ByHasannudin Saidin

    Chasing the Northern Lights in Norway was the main goal of my Europe trip in October 2022, and it was mesmerizingly achieved!

    Another goal was for me to jump in every country we visit.

    Have goals, plan, prepare and achieve!

    Here are two jumps in Germany, one each in Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands, and several in Norway.

    Oh, although the Norway tour operator took us to a spot in Finland to catch The Northern Lights (our first of two sightings), I did not jump in Finland because it was very cold, windy and icy!
