Heartbreak is The National Anthem

"They say love is based on effort. I say that is a lie. Love is about meeting expectations. Let's say you wanted cold water. I put all my effort and fan the water so it's cold but one day someone comes along and puts ice in your water and that person turns out to be all you're looking for. Love is not something wholly based on effort. Its about meeting expectations." -Anonymous

Every time I write something I'll always say it's been ages since I posted here and well it's kinda true for every post. Once a while when I have a random thought I'll blog about it but these days random thoughts are getting scarce.

So as I step into final year, so many things is coming to an end. The final monsoon. The final year of playing frisbee. The final year of getting late to class because a cow blocked the road like a boss. The final year of looking at pictures of Hokkien Mee to keep your sanity. The final year to drive 7 hours just to get back home. The final year to stress about how much food to store to prepare for the winter. The final year to argue pointlessly on Facebook about extremist university rules which forbids my sexy knobbly knees.

Final year comes with a lot of final chances to do so many things. It's closer to the beginning of a new chapter in life. A lot of times I worry about what am I going to do with my life after I grad, if i grad *touches wood*. To be honest my short term goal is now to work and earn as much as I can so I can be able to see as much of world before I am confined to an office looking at a screen for the next 30 years of my life.

But for now I just hope everything goes well in the final year.

Everything is volatile.

Screaming, Crying, Perfect Storms

"Love is not wholly based on effort. People are puzzle pieces. No matter how much effort you put in, you can't change someone's shape just to fit yours. One day someone who fits her perfectly comes and you'll be left alone reminiscing the moments. Another way to put it, she wants cold water. You put all your effort into fanning the water making it cold but one day someone comes along and put ice cubes in the water. He's just everything she's looking for."

I still talk about pokemon and play dota like a 17 year old but I just realized when I meet up with my peers, let it be from school mates or uni mates. we talk not about dota and pokemons but about work, politics, MYR being higher than our CGPAs and our looming future after graduating. Hopefully

I've always think of myself as a childish person who plans just what to eat for the next meal but when I meet up with my friends I realized I grew up without realizing. As much as I want to stay the whimsical kid who sees a pack of dogs as the mafia, a part of me slowly grew up and get in touch with reality. A part of me starts to have worries, worries which in a year or two ago I didn't know even exists.

This made me realize we can't never ever stay the same way ever. No matter how much you wish to stay the same, unless you change and grow, you will never gain anything. It's the same as your phone. Do you wish to use a sturdy Nokia 3310? Trying to read a map to find directions? If you miss those moments in the past, keep it in memory. It's the only place where moments can last an eternity.

It's been ages since I last posted something. I remember I started this blog posting hand made presents hoping I'll get spotted and get a start up to open up a gift shop. Now this blog have changed to a place where I pour my thoughts for me to look back how much I have changed over the years.

Being two weeks away from going back to university, going into final year, getting one step closer to being a graduate, I wonder what the future holds for me

Everything changes but PIK NIK remains to be my favorite hipster joint

I'm Yours

“Aw, I’m sorry Finn. But look man, let me share with you a little secret on how to win the heart of a princess. It’s not easy, but you have to be persistent.You might have to defeat a demon lord and warp through several worlds.

But once you do, you walk up the wizard stairs and produce your magic key you got in the water world to unlock the chamber door.

Then, you walk right up to the princess and give her a smooch."

Jake the Dog

Best. Show. Ever

Perhaps now I am at the phase where I am trying to find out what I want to achieve in life and I just realized I just want to slay monsters and protect the Land of Ooo with a magical dog and win the heart of Princess Bubblegum. Going into season 5 now, I'm starting to question whether this show is really for children.

Watching cartoons reminds me of the innocence of childhood. The carefree days when we can always go on an adventure and we are only bound by the limits of our imagination. 

I admire people who are very objective. To be honest I have yet to discover what I want to do in life other than things which seems pretty much whimsical. I want to travel the world. Teach English. Help in animal shelters. Eat everything around the world. Become a floor sweeper for Taylor Swift concerts.

I pretty much want to do random things all my life but I'm only bound by one thing. Reality. Where will I get the money to travel the world? I'm awesome with a broom but there are no job vacancies in Taylor Swift's team. I always think to myself, I don't want to grow old and always regret not taking the opportunities that was present at the moment.

But for now I am quite contempt with everything that I've experienced so far. I've get to see Taylor Swift live in the RED Tour. I get to jump off a bridge and survive! Okay I'm kidding I went for bungee jumping in New Zealand. I get to teach English in Vietnam which awaken my inner Vietnamese and I get the proud feeling when I see Vietnam getting mentioned. I've managed to get into a university in the middle of the forest which somehow is a blessing.


Nope I'm just kidding. I'm just saying all this random stuff to avoid facing an intense week of tests, assignments, quizzes and trainings.

I just want to sit around and play with my figurines

And get a heart attack eating the best thing in the world

I promise to study when I finish season 5 *nods*

Down The Stairs, I Was There, I Remember It All Too Well

As I grow older, the world seemed to be more grim and dark then it was when I was still a kid. Perhaps I was still oblivious to the going on of the world being blissfully innocent when I was a child. Perhaps the world is always this way just that I did not notice it.

But then again looking back just about 10 years back, things truly have changed and a lot of it ain't for the better. Racism has always been a huge stigma in our society. Humanity's inability to accept differences and egos huge as Jupiter creates and breed hatred. Oh wow I did not know I can think and type in such fancy and bombastic words lolol.

Anyhow, I'm not sure it has been going on for a long time or otherwise, recently I felt as though there is a lot of hatred plaguing the society. Just take a look at the news for example, in the constitution we all have a freedom of speech, but whenever someone voices out their opinion which is out of the norm they get crucified and burn on a stake. Heck some even called for the girl who voiced out an opinion to be shot and raped. How is this acceptable in the society? For someone to be getting death threats just for speaking out a public opinion? I'm being vague here and try not to mention which issue I'm talking about because I don't want to get arrested

Hatred breeds hatred. Don't help the spreading of hate. Sometimes all it takes is just to swallow up that pride and accept people for being the way they are. You can change the world! Just don't get arrested

I just found how awesome historical facts can be

And I can't stop logging in and out of Facebook 

And leaving this image on every desktop I see

And I tried a new style of making cards

When you are young all you wanted to do is grow up and start doing things on your own. When you are in school, all you wanted to do is finish school as soon as possible and enter a university. When you are in a university, all you wanted to do is be a kid again and be blissfully ignorant.

We never know what life has in store for us. Most of the time we spend time working and wishing for things in the future or even the past. Perhaps all you should do is live on the present moment and cherish every moment because time will not turn back.

Yeah You and Me We Can Light Up The Sky

"Nice to meet you, where have you been? I could show you incredible things"-Blank Space

Sometimes I get annoyed by the fact that I'm stuck in a forest far away from home because I did not study hard enough and ended up here but looking back, I realized life ain't that bad being here. If I did not ended up in UMP, I would not have joined AIESEC. I would not have met so many people with different experiences. I would not have learn to speak 5 words in a second. I would not have another family. I would not have gone to Vietnam. I would not have discover the greatest creation on earth which is the holy glory banh mi.

I'm always annoyed by the fact that I got decent results and I still ended up in form 6. But again everything happens for a reason. If I did not go to form 6, I would not have met classmates I'll meet every holiday. I would not have learn from awesome, well most of them are teachers who taught me a little more on life beyond books. I would not have went to Viper Challenge. I would not be limping for 3 days due to muscle aches from the challenge hahah. 

Anyhow main point is no matter where you end up, life will always have something in store for you. You may not realize it at that moment but perhaps in a day, a week, a month or even a year later incredible things could happen. Life is full of incredible things. All you gotta do is don't lose hope.

New Project! I don't know how to use photoshop hence Powerpoint lolol

 Looking back again sometimes I do wish I am doing creative arts design, writing or even teaching than try to figure out the transfer for an electrical and mechanical control system. But hey everything happens for a reason. Who knows one day I will be travelling the world teaching kids and changing the world.

Life is bliss if you always have hope.
