But Every Night With Us Is Like A Dream

Sometimes all it takes us for us to look up at the stars and realize how small we are.

Pride. Greed. Envy. If you follow the going on around the world you'll surely be shocked by the attack on Paris. A normal reaction from an attack so horrid would be to sympathize and mourn for the innocent lives lost. But humans are fickle things. We are more driven by our sins. Envy. Instead of mourning for Paris, some people would rather say they will not stand selective media and mourn for the attacks on Syria, Beirut and various other atrocities happening all over the world. In order to feed their pride, they will try not to be mainstream and protest against Facebook having a filter just for France. They are so desperate to get noticed, they'll be willing to say anything. Social media plays a huge part in everyone's lives. It stays alive by capitalizing on our fickle nature. We feel happy when a post get a tonne of likes, we get jealous when someone's got more shares and comments on the same post you shared, we can't get enough attention. Sometimes I wonder if the world have always been this way or was I too young to notice the reality.

So.... it's been forever since I write something here. Actually it's only been slightly over a month haha. I think i say this before but usually I only post when I have a random thought I want to rant but do not want to post it on Facebook. Ironically after writing this I will share onto Facebook lolol.

It's been 3 years and counting since I've come to Pahang. Initially when I first arrive and saw the cows, I thought I won't be able to do anything here but study and stare at the trees. Now, 3 years later, although I still stare at the trees and cows but didn't do much studying, I managed to experience a lot of things I thought I wouldn't been able to try. I've traveled a lot on my own. Learned to be more independent and not die on a random street somewhere.

So in the latter half of the mid semester break I went to Kuching to attend Qiu Xi's convocation. First time stepping on East Malaysia!












The fooooood. Actually I ate whole lot more but I forgot to take pictures of them heh








Congratulation Yong Sue Teng! Thank you for being my tour guide when Qiu Xi is busy 




Congratulation Loo Qiu Xi! Who knew your outspoken personality would help you own uni :P Thank you for hosting me and bringing me around doing what I love the most, EATTTT. It was fun being in Sarawak.

But.... reality kicks in and I gotta write 3 chapters of Thesis in two weeks lolol
