Baby I Love You But I'm Not A Monster

You will realize how big the world is and how small it can be at times. For instance I grew up studying in an English ed school. During my years in school I always thought everyone speaks English and it's quite normal to not really understand Mandarin. My little bubble burst when I entered form 6. Only then I realized there aren't much English ed people out there. That is when I realize how small my world was. I was always comfortable with all my friends who have the same mentality.

Now I think I can count the number of English ed people in my university with my two hands. I'm not trying to be bias or subjective but I seemed to be able to click better with people with the same thinking. During my presentations I make references to pop culture as a joke. "Hey why do we exercise? So we might stand a chance to fight Chuck Norris!" A long awkward silence soon followed. 

But hey life is a long and challenging journey. Maybe when I can understand Mandarin better I might be able to click with everyone here. I think I've become more socially awkward coming to UMP.




I forgot how pretty the clouds are in the morning. 

Two years left to achieve my goal of mastering Mandarin before I graduate!


Hello 5 day weekend! :D

I Had the Time of My Life Fighting Dragons With You

A friend of mine ask me why I don't want to go home that often in the holidays. He asked don't my parents miss me or something? I honestly tell him my mother and I don't get along thus I don't go back often to avoid triggering a world war 3.

I remember waking up early morning hoping my dad did not go to work yet so I can follow him to have this for breakfast. My dad don't talk much but this is how we bond. He takes good care of us and bring us go eat. 
As each year passes I feel more reluctant to grow up. I miss my childhood. So little worries. So much bliss. I remember getting all excited when I see my grandpa fetching me back from kindergarten because I get to eat a kaya pau. Those were the days of innocence and bliss. Perhaps when we are young we don't see the world the way we do now.

I want to be a blissful ignorant kid who gets all excited seeing a kaya pau forever.

I'm feeling this song now
