Important things in life

1. never give up on anyone; miracles happen everyday.
2. be brave. if you’re not brave, pretend to be. no one can tell the difference.
3. think big thoughts, relish small pleasures.
4. learn to listen, opportunities sometimes knock very softly.
5. never deprive someone of their hope, it may be all they have.
6. strive for excellence, not perfection.
7. don’t waste time grieving over past mistakes; learn from them and move on.
8. when someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
9. never cut what can be untied.
10. don’t expect life, or others, to treat you fairly.
11. success comes to the one that acts first.
12. never waste an opportunity to tell someone that you love them.
13. remember that no one makes it through alone. be sure to acknowledge others and have a grateful heart.
14. never underestimate the power of a kind word or deed.
15. laugh a lot; a good sense of humor can cure almost all of life’s illnesses.
16. don’t miss the magic of a moment by looking for what’s to come.
17. watch out for big problems, they disguise big opportunities.

First world problems (#FWP)

Living in such technology boosted era, everyday we face first world problems. We're given something and we want more. It's natural. Hence we complain everyday. Luckily, the interwebs caught on to this too. I'm talking about a trending meme right now but I guess it will soon be forgotten just like many other legendary ones.

"Yo FWP, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Kanye West made one of the best memes of all time!"

That shit still makes me laugh hahaa...

Coming back to FWPs, I know it's intentional irony. I mean, if you look at the tweets about it, it's plain bullshit. It's a good laugh but I hope people will actually learn to be content about things. That said, my ethernet cable is too short that I have to use Wi-fi all the time :P

Wanna learn something new (or refresh something old) everyday ?

I find it hard to dispose of my clothes. As many as I possess, each of them brings memories. Like where I bought them, who gave it to me. Fond fond memories.

8 years old, I am in standard 2 now (abo..) Class, basketball, toys, long roads to Penang with Jacky Cheung CD again. My legs were constantly bruised up at this period and mosquito bites appear all the time because my classroom is located next to swampy grasses.

A significant person in my childhood. I call her Ying Jie, my nanny. She took care of me since I was born. Since i'm the youngest among my siblings, I have the least memory of her. But I remember I was really close to her. I would stick to her in the house. Go to wherever she goes. Keep her company when she's doing chores. And I would wait at the stairs by 9pm so that when she's done with her chores she would bring me to bed. Now the next part I can barely recall.. I don't know why, but she left. Probably because I am old enough then and we don't need a nanny anymore. Remember Lady? Ying jie took her along when she left. I was sad of course. No dogs jumping on me after school. I asked my mother why she had to bring Lady with her. she said Ying jie needs a company too. Or maybe, she didn't want the children to witness Lady getting old and pass away. At least that's what I thought. So now I have happy memories of Lady.

And we met up with Ying Jie last year :D

When i was really young, I didn't read much. Not at all. not even comics or newspapers. My house has plenty of Enid Blyton books which I never gave attention to. And then there came Harry Potter. My sister pushed me the first book and made me finish the first few chapters. After that 20 page or so, I soon finish the book myself. and the second, third. Soon I am waiting for the next one to be out.

After the harry potter books were finished, I then ventured to others. and the cycle begins.. to find a good book, finish it and start finding again.

Now I have more books than I have time to read it. Or just that I always have other shitsnitz to do. So little time, rawrrr

And soon I'll be graduating! looks like the books will have to wait. Or if I could have a little more time.

Something I saw . .

At work, my colleague/mentor was flipping his big folder full of name cards. Name cards that he kept from all his previous jobs etc. and he was looking for someone that he thought might be able to help him out in his problem now. just.. need to find that name card.... among 500 others perhaps.

Use app lah

Very seldom I would walk into a coffeeshop with my laptop with the purpose of studying and follow ups with a few interwebs addiction. But here I am, listening to 90's classics from the cafe, looking at heavy pouring from the skies, and not fulfilling my aim for the trip.



At least I learnt something. It's all about that ain't it?

Time to replace some of those . .

Music keeps me alive.

Friends make me smile.

You always make my day.

Those were the days..

When everything else is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Time value of knowledge

Waddis knowledge.. and the value of it? Which one appreciates over time and which ones doesn't have a value at all after some time.

What are you looking for at this moment in the Internets?

Freedom

Is it as bad as I think it is. Or am I just too damn lost now.

Yang mana satu?

When you have too many choices to pick from, for example, different brands of pasta sauce, or even the same brand with different flavors (chunky, vege, mushroom & onions, zomg). all the different kinds and types. you waste so much time standing there thinking which one to take, the pricing does not help either because they all are the same price. Then you end up not picking anything because you don't want to make the wrong choice. heh. Or you make a choice, and wonder what if you pick the other one. Now you want to try. Try more. try more.

Will more choice make life easier?

Ini ke Itu ke Itik ?

What will you be in 5 years. 10 years.

I played a game on this trying to predict what everyone would be doing, where are they, what they would have accomplished in 5 years and 10. Someone wants to be on a magazine cover. Some wants to travel the world by then. But even talking about a year later you would not know apa macam.

It's pretty blur. I have been talking to my friends who're working already. Advices, suggestions, guides. Nothing is solid. Luckily I have something to look forward now. Something to make me consider twice. Right.

So what is your ultimate factor, or is it just a balance? I'll take some time to think about it.
