Project 365: 19/365

Yesterday I stumbled upon http://www.babyou.com/ (姐妹淘). It's a Taiwan-based website targeted on female users. There are articles about relationship, fashion, health, parenting and special columns. It is founded by one of the most inspiring Taiwan hostess, Matidla Tao Jing Ying (陶晶莹) to focus on women's welfare and life.

I've always loved reading. Especially fiction novel with ancient background. You bet I love Louis Cha Leong Yeung (金庸)'s creation and Ni Kuang(倪匡)'s awesome science fiction. Now I've grown to love non-fiction book. But that's another story to tell.

I'm constantly awed by a writer's capability to describe things in detail, to paint a picture in reader's mind so vividly as if it is happening right at the moment when we read it. I remember when I read Louis' book, I imagined my version of how the characters and the scenes look like. Now we have drama to help us visualize, but they are never as awesome as how I imagined it.

But in this case, the articles in this website describe social phenomena, how women handle relationship problem, feelings and thoughts. It was like..reading my mind out loud! It was genuine, it was bold, and it was like striping off your protection layer and make you stand in front of a mirror naked.

That's the power of WORD!

Whether you realize it or not, the way you say things and the word you choose to use, MATTERS (or matter wtf grammar nazi please correct me tqvm!).

It is an art to speak/express ourselves without misleading people to doubt our original intention. I guess we are all still learning that.

So..gambatte lah! Thanks for reading this pointless post HAHAHA *flying kiss

When Google Plus was still in its beta testing, I was invited to join but because it was a ghost town, I didn't stay.

Now, it is still a ghost town. 

HAHAHA but much better lah. I realised there are much more things we can do there compared to Facebook for example email, blogging, photo upload and EDITING OMG TOTALLY AMAZING, news and info sharing. It is like Facebook+Twitter but with more controls. 

Well..the Harp Darp in me talking:

"Maybe instead of trying to replace any social networking sites (or maybe it never try so #okay.jpg), Google Plus can position itself to be different, but not all-in-one?"



Or maybe all-in-one is different #stupid. I haven't gone through any articles about Google Plus yet, just writing this based on my own user experience so if you happen to be a wise man in this, please stood up wtf I bet you didn't realised that's what my comment link is! If only you scroll to the bottom of the post, you'll see:

So please comment! #buay-paiseh

Hahaha. Anyway, I still think Google Plus is pretty awesome already. Maybe it's just that Metcalfe's Law failed them (lemme google Metcalfe's Law for you -> Click Here Yo! ). So if you're interested to explore new things, come and sign up at Google Plus and join me here!

Btw, haiz fml lah my apartment building is having water shortage. Thank God for the skills I've picked up in Labuan, I can bathe with little water. Yj even bathed in our office WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN. #facepalm.

The water has turned brownish haiz so I used drinking water to do all the dirty jobs. Oh ya this morning after I went to toilet, I tried to flushed but since the water was brownish, it was like I never flush! You get what I mean? No? No picture still wtf. Damn embarrassing! I kept flushing hoping that some point the water would be clean and not brownish.

Well, it didn't happen. So I left to work, hoping that my roommate wouldn't feel weird looking at the totally-flushed but still look like un-flushed toilet bowl #double-face-palm.

Please quickly fix the freaking water pump so we can haz water T.T

Thanks for reading *wave

Since I have absolutely nothing to talk about #sigh, might as well talk about the title from yesterday's Incitement event title --- "What if...". #mainstream #inspired

People take "what if" differently. Some think that they should live their lives in a way that they wouldn't regret looking back to their choices and wonder what if they took another different path. They would fearlessly go with their instinct and tell themselves this is their choice and there's no looking back.

Yea in life, we have to make decisions and it is really hard. What if we made a wrong one? What if the other option turns out to be a better choice? What if..what if..

I agree wholeheartedly that it requires a certain extent of wisdom, observation and experience before we make a decision on something. I do believe that after going through dilemma like this, if the outcome is not satisfactory, it is very heartbreaking.

And honestly, WE NEED THE THOUGHT OF "WHAT IF".

Being a human is not as meaningful if we never love, never hate, never get mad, never go crazy, never do what we thought we couldn't do, and never regret what we didn't do/did.

And of course, I also believe in moderation. After we made a choice, perhaps a real bad one, it is okay to wonder the what-ifs. Why not right? We are human, we are made to think and feel. But not to the extent that it influences our positivity, our motivation and our drive to do better.

So why don't we just cut loose, look at the past, ask ourselves, what if I made another choice..

Maybe..just maybe..we can see the road not taken appear itself in our imaginations, like a dream come true. =)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I marked the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Just back from Incitement's event! It was awesome!

One of the most outstanding talks is about increasing our productivity by double or even triple. The speaker emphasized that the punishment for not being able to achieve a target must be very very radical and extreme. The method that the speaker took was flushing $250 down the toilet! He took a video of it as a prove. And yes HE LITERALLY TEAR UP THE CASH INTO PIECES AND FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET! We were like ermahgerd you're kidding me right but he is not.

The conclusion is: Poor people cannot afford procrastination HAHAHA

Seriously lah I just can't do it. I admit it would be VERY effective on me because I'd rather kill myself than tearing up money and flush it down the toilet. #moneyminded

But the speaker was right about something. The punishment must be really terrible and you'd feel very very terrible doing it. I was thinking, yea I could skip a meal or two if I don't reach my goal, but then I would also think 'meh..take it as dieting loh no big deal'. And then it would be as if the punishment would still do good to me so I won't mind not reaching my goal.

Damn. Destroying money is really the only way???

Nehmind I'm ok with my productivity HAHAHAHA #selfGiveUp

And and the first flash slide (as in impromptu slide presentation) about alien was DAMN funny!! I was practically laughing the whole time trollolol coz I wasn't the one up there HAHAHA. Me being a typical Malaysian chickened out when they asked for volunteer to do the presentation. And the volunteer, being a typical westerner, went and gave a kick ass presentation! #salute+shame

Haha ok la today's awesome, because I attended an awesome event that promotes awesomeness with awesome companion HAHAHA

So if you're interested to join this awesome event (probably around next month), visit Incitement's Facebook Page and prepare to be awed!

Wait for my companion of the night to blog about this and I shall link you to the post. There are awesome pictures inside. Meh not really.

Night y'all!

Project 365: 15/365

I am still not recovered from scumbag Sunday's headache!!! #EXPLODE

So now the first year uni students are enrolling into local universities. I was reading updates posted by the orientation committee and GOSH I FREAKING GRADUATED! #old

I can't believe my uni life has already ended. I still remember vividly the moment when I found out I was gonna be continuing my uni life in UMSKAL wtf. Not even UMS. Fyi UMSKAL=Universiti Malaysia Sabah Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan(Labuan International Campus). There's nothing so 'international' about it, except for a few international students from China and Turkey. Everything about it is still very 'local' wan!

I remember I cried knowing that I have to go over to east coast to study for three years. Scumbag friends who said we would apply to UMS together (because apparently applying to east coast uni will increase the possibility of getting in to local uni for weak students like us) and study there together got other universities instead of UMS haiz. E-Commerce was the course allocated to me #bigbigsigh I din know a shit about it and I just had to accept it anyhow.

Then mum and I rushed over documentations and check-ups, cousin helped me get my flight/bus ticket ready and I was fortunate enough to have my ex-classmate to go together with. Went there, got through orientation, ice-breaking, and all the ups-and-downs, HERE I AM writing this blog with such wisdom and insight wtf wtf naww laa

But I remember every heartbreak when I had to leave home for new semester, every gathering and pillow talk with my babes, the reluctance to go back to uni was really really sibeh high. I had to miss loved ones' birthdays, special occasions, friends coming back from oversea etc. I guess that's human nature, that we tend to yearn for something we don't have/can't get.

But it teaches me to appreciate life, people and things. I'm now having internship in PJ and I make sure I spend every weekend to connect with my soulmate debbie (not angie wtf coz I am not 4feet9 but i am 80kilograms #witty), my jimui-s, bf, and my dearest family yo! The only thing I'm not connecting to right now is my monnnay! Do you know how fast water flows from waterfall! That's how fast my money flows from my pocket T.T (water/money->flows? or flow? #looking-for-grammar-nazi-to-correct-me-tqvm)

So I'm done reminiscing the past. Imma reward myself with a super nice dinner (fake-ramen+egg+seaweed+seafoodTofu) and see whether my headache can be cured! See you tomorrow *bow

Project 365: 14/365

I have a confession to make.

I haven't watch The Avengers.

Now drop the tomatoes and eggs and your mockery tqvm.

So last Friday we went to colleague's open house and he played the BluRay version of The Avengers for us to watch.

I mean..of course it is awesome and all that (although yj kinda fell asleep wtf). But...

Can you look at The Avengers the same way again after reading all the related posts in 9gag like below:

Now do you get what I mean!

Whichever character is up, I will connect them to the posts and jokes I've read and seriously I just can't seem to watch the movie properly omfg Imma watch a movie before 9gaggers do if not they will ruin the movie for me not that I don't enjoy the gags I love the gags it's just that I wana watch the movie as well do you get what I mean wtf this is too long for a sentence #okay.jpg

Anyway, something is very wrong on Sunday. It must the sun, or the heat, or the weather or something wtf. I get tired very easily and I had headache since morning. #ItsAtrap.jpg because I took a nap and it's like whole day's gone and tomorrow is Monday already!

I'm looking forward to Monday woohoo! I guess if we don't like Mondays, we need to do something about it, and I've done something about it (neh my attitude problem) so yeah..yay Monday! I sound like a faker don't I #okay.jpg

So good night to my fellow readers, and have a blessed Monday! Don't pout HAHAHA

Project 365: 13/365

Ooooo post number 13! I promise it won't bring suay-ness to you HAHAHA

So during our precious holiday, me and yj went to a refugee school at Bukit Jalil. It was really an eye opener for me to see how some people need to struggle to survive, while we are just chilling under the protection from our country.

Yes I can't deny the flaws we have in our country, but seriously we are so blessed enough to be able to go through everyday of our lives peacefully (unless Lynas project failed #touch-every-piece-of-wood-i-can-find). The refugee that we talked to, started the school to help other refugees' children to get education.

Now, I don't really know them that well, and I judge only but its cover, so my remarks are just my shallow mere observation ok. I can see that the surrounding, the school, the classrooms, the facilities are really in bad condition. And that they can only survive but getting some on-and-off help from UNHCR (an agency to help refugee) and volunteers. But they are so grateful. They still live their life with hopeful heart.

From what he told us, when these Burmese children reach 15 years old, no matter how they like studying, they'd have to bow down to reality and start working to support the family. And they constantly need to fork out money due to death, jail bail (working without permit as they are just refugees) etc for each other. As we know, their pay is relatively low and hence, their struggle has no end. The most successful example they know is just Burmese who successfully own a grocery store or something.

To me, the only way to break this vicious cycle is through education. Only with knowledge and the ability to acknowledge things are they able to truly live. Nobody is meant to be seen/treated lower than other human being. So LOOP gonna do something about this and hopefully it'll help them to sustain themselves. If you're interested to know more, please contact me. What you're reading is just a small corner of an iceberg.

Anyway, some smartass (by some I mean one wtf) is mentioned in a video from Incitement fuyohhhh you gonna havta watch it to know who it is (and fyl if you dun actually know this person after watching the video but I promise the video/the group posting it is very inspiring one!)

Nah here it is!
