Speed of light.

During the end of the month of July till the beginning of August of 2013, I traveled domestically to many

places, from North, South, East, West, with cousins from States and siblings. 

From,

Forest (National Park, Pahang)

to 

Mountain (Mount Kinabalu, Sabah)

to 

Cave (Mulu Caves, Sarawak)

to 

City (Singapore)

to 

Beach (Telok Cempedak, Kuantan)

Finally, I have the time to update this rusty blog of mine. It's been months since the last update, well don't blame me but I have loads of assignments and examination that are in the way of everything. You wouldn't believe how hectic and stressful my life has been for that few weeks, toughest yet most challenging. Believe it or not I don't even have the time for myself. This is depressing, yes, it's me, being depressed.
Hashtag - believe the unbelievable. HA!

For no reasons nor any purposes that I'm posting this. I just need to kill my boredom and updating my blog would be the preferable solution. Really no reason, I just got the mood of updating it. I have the option of catching up Arrow Season 2 or Glee's Season 5 but no, I choose to update my blog. Like I've said earlier, I seriously have no reasons. Somehow I find it's kinda odd, as I'm currently typing whatever that comes into my mind, like EVERY EXACT WORDS, no joke. So, bear with my lameness and pointless stuffs that I've typed in here. Heh!

Okay for now, I do have a reason, I repeat, A REASON.

A reason indicates that time pass in a speed of light. 3 more days, less than 100 hours, till the first day, of the first month, of year 2014. The world would greet 2013 a blissful, thankful farewell, and welcome a brand new year with arms wide open, filled with hopes and faiths, that it would be a better year ahead. Well well well, guess people yet to realize still that, in order to have a greater and brighter times ahead, they would need to start taking action, start building up, face and deal with any challenges and problems that appear right in front. In another words, self-development, no doubt that it is the key to a better and greater future.

However, I don't do what people usually do, praying and hoping that 2014 would treat them good. In my case, I would need to improve myself to have a better year. Building up my characters and attitudes, develop skills and thoughts, creating and improving my relationship with the love ones, families and friends, being determined and confidence, especially in achieving those aims/goals that I've set for myself, dotting down the check-list of what's and what's not and cross it out, not to mention, get myself sorts of experiences (by traveling, knowing new people and culture), etc.

Based on what I've said previously, is not that I'm against those who hope the year 2014 would treat them good but I somehow find it rather ridiculous as you're just going through daily life, hoping everyday that something good will happen. Well, let me tell you something, there'll be ups and downs in life, and it's the reason why it's life. Without the bad, I don't think you'll be able to learn something from it nor getting any experiences that could be really useful to you, by doing so you'll not be improving nor develop yourself to be a better person too. Or put in this way, everything has its own bad and good, that is why the word BALANCE, and the definition of it exist, so do the system of it, as simple as that. Not all bad is bad but it could be an advantage for you, where you could learn from it. That's my main point overall.

In conclusion, why not you start taking self-action rather than hoping and wishing? Make a move, make the effort, have the initiative to make yourself good times. Let self reach the destination, rather than the destination reach you, because you'll never know how long it takes and what happen next.

Guess I've reached my destination for now - updating my blog. So that's it, my final post of 2013, a year that filled with ups and downs, nonetheless, it's a good year. HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance and cheers for the year 2014 into our life. Ensure we make 2014 a better year, HOORAH!

Loves and regards. Till then. :)

Science of Deduction, Part 1.

"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it here comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful one."

 - Sherlock Holmes.

Till then. Have a great weekend ahead. :)

P/S: Now reading, 

Seventeen.

SEVENTEEN.

I was born and raised

    In a town near the sea.

    I went back after a long time

    To go to the shopping mall.

    Time is always a magic wand

    That changes the scenery, but

    The roar of waves and

    The scent of the tide

    Are the same as they were in those days.

    Seventeen

    Even now, you are the best

    On the right margin of my yearbook

    Absolutely, you are the best

    How many times did I turn these pages

    To make sure it's there?

    Your house's bottle shop

    Has become a convenience store, right?

    I looked inside the store, and

    You're standing at the cash register.

    Becoming was stylist your dream, and

    Someday we'll have to talk.

    If you don't want to,

    We don't have to.

    It looks to me that you're happy.

    I'm relieved.

    I hear that you're yearning for marriage

    If that's the case, it's too late to say I like you

    I hear you also want children

    Without talking, it's a

    Farewell to youth.

    Even now, you are the best

    On the right margin of my yearbook

    Absolutely, you are the best

    How many times did I turn these pages

    To make sure it's there?

    Even now, you are the best

    In my memories, you shine

    Absolutely, you are the best

    As it is, it will always be

    A person's first love.

Bored in the afternoon.

What's up peeps. Finally updating the blog after quite some time since the last updates. How would I want to start? I wonder. I absolutely have no idea how to start off my post. A random thought, perhaps? Or maybe what I've been through lately? Ah well. Guess I'm going for the thought of what have I gone through lately. 

Okay, first thing first, new semester has just started a week ago. Well that's for other majors but not PR and Event Marketing, which is what I'm basically majoring at. We started 2 weeks ago, to be exact 1 week before the others. Classes were so far so good as days go by, merely introduction. And right now it's the second week of Semester 2 and this is where the real thing get started. Assignments starting to come in for Visual Communication and Media Writing subject, and assessment for others. What a week indeed! 

Furthermore, back home, things didn't sorted it out well. Renovation is going on at home and meanwhile dad admitted to the hospital over the weekend due to dengue. And ever since that incident happened, the house has not been in a super duper clean state but sandy and dusty, that's for sure. Also, ever since dad admitted to the hospital, I've been going back home late, so do sleeping and showering. I've been visiting my dad after my class. Going to the hospital all by myself, (Well maybe because independent is so my style. Hahaha!) taking care of him, ensuring he'a getting enough rest, eaten enough food, feeling comfortable and so on. Been heavily caught up into so many things. Lucky it's just the beginning of a new semester. If not things might be go chaotic. Phew!

Is week 3 now, mid way. And I'm sitting down here, being bored while my friends are rushing their visual communication assessment which due tomorrow as their  tutorial started earlier. As for me, my tutorial just started today so the due date for the assessment is on Monday, 5pm. Knowing that the deadline is on Monday, I'm actually updating typing this blog, relaxing and thinking, too, rather than finishing up the assessment. Well, as they said, play hard first, study reaaaaaaaal hard later. That's my motto for my studies, sort of. So yeah. TA! I should read my novel instead of typing but I can't resist myself from the iPhone 4 that my aunt gave it to me before she back to The State. I. JUST. CAN'T. BECAUSE. iPHONE. IS. AWESOME. LIKE. THAT. Trolololol.

Speaking about my aunt previously, they just went back to the State on Sunday. The aunt and my cousin came to Malaysia for exactly a month while for my cousin sister came for a month and a half. That half, we went traveling to the East Malaysia and also to the East coat. Yep, had tons of memorable day and unforgettable memories.

Alright I'm done for now. Time is up. I need to go to a meeting with my group members for the visual communication group assignment. So yeah. Till then, and have a nice day. Cheers! :D 

It's all about Benedict Cumberbatch.

Yep, the title says it all. It's basically about Benedict Cumberbatch. If you ever wonder who he is, he's the main actor that stars in 'Sherlock' together with his co-actor, Martin Freeman as John Watson. Apart from that, he also starred as Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. Now do you have any idea who is he? Do you get a rough picture of Benedict? Well based on the explanations I provided the above, and the technology advancement nowadays, I can presume that you know who is Benedict Cumberbatch for now. 

So the highlight of this blog post is that I'm a major fan of Benedict, in another words, huge huge fan, like those really admire type of person instead of going super duper trooper crazy over someone, or something, yeah. And because of having too much addiction on Benedict, before that, why I used the word addiction, cause the admiration on Benedict Cumberbatch is just like addiction on drugs and alcohol. And no, doesn't mean I involve drugs and alcohol here I do both. Life is not what we presumed. Just so you know, I'M CLEAN, like definitely clean. Okay I've gone beyond. Way far from myntopic, or things i want to post. Back to the point, I had the best dream ever, regarding Benedict Cumberbatch. Yes, you heard me. All about him. :) 

I dreamed that 2 friends of mine and myself saw Benedict LIVE. By LIVE I mean face to face, greet him cheerfully and he greet us back with both hands wide. We were shouting like hyper fan girls but not to the extend that getting out of the boundaries just for a certain purposes. You wouldn't believe there are people that willing to do all sorts of crazy and unbelievable and madness things in order to get what they want. Just so you know, we live in such a strange world. No doubt about that. And, I took plenty picture of Benedict Cumberbatch, what's more he asked from me politely for my camera, and said let's take a photograph. Beforehand he asked me what's the exact function of my camera and hoes does it works and all sorts. So I taught him, of course. Like duh! Lol. He took a few and I have to admit at the style he take we actually look pretty cool in every picture. Not to mention I'm absolutely stunt by his accent, his sexy and mannish British accent, and not to forget his cheekbone and his unforgettable and heartmelting smile. Man, how I wish dreams come true, wish it's the reality, like FORREAL, sometimes or all the time. Heh. Ahhhhhhh! Pretty much the best sleep I've ever had. (Y)

'ME'

Okay so I was being so random, and bored somehow (can't really complaint that I'm bored because I've yet to complete my intercultural communication assignment which the due date is next Monday, and here I am, sitting in front of the com and blogging. Couldn't believe myself.), I've recorded myself, doing v-log, and singing to my favorite song. Yes, don't doubt me, I CAN SING. Haha HECK NO, I can barely even raise high pitches. Seriously, I actually couldn't fall for the fact that I've actually recorded myself singing. And no, I got no intention of doing any covers or something, merely doing it for fun. Was thrilled with my recently new addition, so I can't resists myself from playing it, cam-whoring, video-whoring, or whatever, you name it. After all I'm in nicely and neater attire too, went out and got back so since I love my fitting tee, I decided to take a 4 minutes video of it. But unfortunately, I've deleted it in the end cause I look unexpectedly terrible in the video and my voice is deffo not what you expected. Lol. Till then. :)

Nothing

Let the nothing around you, become you, let it sit upon your shoulders as a cloak, as a king upon a throne. Let it weigh you down, as it envelops all that you are, all that you will become. Let it sit where only you can see it, and let yourself know it’s there, only you can see nothing after all.

Wonder in amazement as you give it shape, purpose, a juxtaposition from which to be. Let that thought settle in you as you gaze, and think to yourself, that nothing feels good, feels like home. Think that you would like nothing more, because it’s already there, because there it is, what’s left of it, and all there is to say about it.

Wonder why you never had the guts to fill this garment, why you always let everything stand between you and nothing, and how, it was really always there, waiting for you to claim it as your own, nothing seems like it was far away, like it has somewhere else to be, acknowledge that it was all in your mind, the nothing more than arm’s length away.

Give it some resemblance of an ego, realize how nothing has suddenly got the biggest ego you have ever encountered, and that ego becomes nothing, doesn’t become you. See in detail the makings of nothing, the layers of nothingness woven together, to make this cloak you wear, are always going to wear. Realize nothing, is something money cannot buy, that something that nothing has, is exactly what it has always had, which is that nothing you are now wearing.

Laugh at all the pun’s that mean nothing, that define nothing. Laugh, because of nothing and for nothing, realize what people mean when they say that nothing compares, and that nothings feels like… Nothing. It’s a strange world we live in where the nothing has no value, but everything is counterbalanced by nothing. That everything IS because nothing IS. That nothing feels like your best friend that never was, ever will be.

Feel like nothing did you a favor for having been gone all this time, and that you owe nothing, something. Think that nothing can be gone, and still be defined, not by  what IS said, but what isn’t. That nothing is with you every step of the way, every day, between the words you speak, between the silences that make up everything, and realize nothing is the glue that holds it all together.

Feel nothing, wonder what it would be like to be nothing. Say thank you to nothing, whisper it into silence, into nothing, and feel nothing say thank you with nothing, by doing nothing. See into the nothing, and realize there’s a piece of you in nothing, and a piece of nothing in you, inexplicably bound by some invisible thread that is nothing, yet it is there.

I sit and wonder, often, about nothing, and what nothing is doing when it has nothing to do, and what that would be like. Nothing might compare to nothing ,but nothing. As after all, nothing is as it ever was, or will be again.

Nothing is as simple as it sounds, and yet, it is.

#Repost 'Judging Other People Only Makes You Worse' #Repost

It was gossip, and we can dress it up however we like with claims of needing to “work things out,” or “get clarification,” but nine times out of ten, we are blowing off a little steam at the expense of someone we don’t like (at least at the moment).

We all do this, though. We all allow ourselves to get caught up in the pain of feeling slighted, in the jealousy of someone’s achievements, in the moral judgments to be made on actions that don’t affect us in the least. Even if I do think that what someone else is doing is wrong, if it’s not hurting anyone, I stand to gain nothing from concerning myself with its implications. If there is a direct action that needs to be addressed, stewing over it won’t do a fraction of the good that addressing it head-on and making yourself understood would. We know this, and yet the satisfaction of judgment is often too alluring to let things stop there. How many of us have accepted an apology only to continue to shoot the same rays of disapproval every time we saw the one-time offender from across the room? We think we have some kind of moral high ground on them, but we are the ones who are stewing in our own juices of disdain.

And I can think of so few examples when I was particularly harsh on someone else’s life choices or actions when I didn’t feel at least a little bit implicated myself. Perhaps they were doing something that I didn’t have the bravery to do myself, or maybe it was a mistake I had already made. In any case, there was always a glimmer of my own weakness I saw in their decisions. I felt almost as though they were an extension of my own life, and as it is rather hard to put yourself in a corner and scold yourself for not doing something right, it was only natural to allow that judgment to come out on someone nearby. It’s a rather selfish instinct, all things considered, given that you are only trying to relieve yourself of some temporary pain when you make them take your moral lashes.

I don’t know if I’ll ever really learn how not to judge. So many people I respect — people who have had many more years to learn the colossal waste of time that waxing pretentious can be — are often caught up in a moment of petty disdain. They, too, allow slights from their social group to become a sore on the inside of their cheek that they just can’t stop tonguing. It seems sometimes an intrinsic part of being a human, a way of making yourself feel temporarily superior when you clearly haven’t earned it. Sure, it factors into their life on fewer and fewer occasions, but they are not immune from the cheap thrill of feeling above the fray when they are really the only one engaging in it.

What would normally feel like a moment of hard-wrought vindication had started to feel about as satisfying as playing handball against a set of drapes. No matter how hard I threw, it wasn’t going to come back to me the way I wanted it to. And the only person who really seemed pathetic — whatever details I provided about the object of my derision — was me. Because at the end of the day, only someone who is unhappy inside will spend even a moment of their time dragging someone else along with them. If I think about it, I can’t remember a time I was smiling, laughing, genuinely content, and still saying something petty about someone else. When you’re really fulfilled, you just don’t have the time for it.

Indeed,  judging someone doesn't makes you a better person but a terrible communicator. Judging, in another words, gossip, is a negative side of communication. You benefits nothing by judging or gossiping about certain people. In fact, you brought your own image, and reputation down, all by yourself. This is how judging or gossiping makes you. I can ensure that you wouldn't want to have a terrible, or bad reputation, aren't you? So stop judging people, stop the gossiping and those negative stuffs. Stuffs that don't bring any good nor benefits to the mass society, to be exact. We, united together, would be able to make the world a better and peaceful place, by just stopping all the above. We can reunite and do things together, and nothing conflicts or issues happened in between us. With the slogan of 'All for one, and one for all' shows that we are one united nation, regardless of race, gender, and so on. Doesn't matter who you are, we're all still beings, living in the same world, under the same atmosphere (similarly somehow), same place called Earth. Not to mention living the similar routine of lives too. So, anti-racism, sexism, and stereotypes. This need to be address to the others and create awareness within each other. Send it on, peeps! 

Cheers and have a nice day! 
Regards. :)

Aftermath of 1 Year 7 Months.

      20th April 2013 is the date for today. The date where I laid my thoughts and feelings here after so long. Yes, the post title says it all. Have not been updating my blog for that long, and right now I'm clueless of why do I have the urge to update it. Maybe cuz' I'm bored? Nah, I got assignments to complete it actually. Apart from that, I couldn't think of any reason, so might as well I just go with the point of being random and perhaps because my blog has the worst cobwebs? Who knows? Okay you may ignore my lameness. 

      So what happened in this period of time? A year and 7 months seems long when you mentioned it but you do not know that it flies like crazy. By crazy I mean that 1 year and 7 months throughout, time passed in a blink of an eye. In within that time, many things had happened, by things I mean, everything, regardless good or bad, positive or negative. Yes, you heard me. EVERY DAMN THING. I've been through from good to bad, bad to worst, worst to the extend that it's unbearable for me, feeling absolute pressurized. On a brighter note, I had took those past experience as my lessons, different kinds of lessons. This enable to make me a better person, and I'm pretty glad with that. By the way, this doesn't mean that besides going through the negativity, I've gone through to the positive as well. For instance, met wonderful people and spending good quality times with the people I truly care and love the most. Nothing less. :)

       I'll stop here with the reasoning of I've too much to say and I'm not really sure how to put them in words. It's just so frustrating sometimes that I can't even, face it and accept it. Indeed disappointing. Perhaps it's better to keep all things, or maybe certain of it, by yourself and not to cause any troubles nor conflicts by bleeding them out. Enough said. Alright, that's all for now. Goodnight and have a nice day ahead. Cheers! :)
