Poetry #02

How my childhood has shaped who I am today

Trying to reminisce,

The person I once was.

Memories that I miss,

Wishing time would just pause.

I am like a panda,

Always missing homelands.

I am from Melaka,

Cared for by loving grands.

Grandma was my role model,

Discipline, love and kindness.

There’s nothing she can’t handle,

Always filled with happiness.

One day, I received bad news,

I was asked to live with aunts.

Every day after was blue,

What to do? I have no clue.

(inserts helpless face HAHAHAA)

Was away from my parents,

Which made me independent.

There was too much difference,

I was constantly silent.

Grew apart from my family,

I tend to seek validation.

I was quite different, obviously,

Not good at communication.

Going on different journeys,

Learn, adapt, transform and grow.

Keeping all those memories,

Knowing I will shine and glow.

#childhood #childhood memories #childhood nostalgia

Poetry #01

Fairytale: Rapunzel

In a land of magic and wonder,

Rapunzel was locked in a tall tower.

Princess with lots and lots of golden hair,

Longed to be free and catch the outside air.

Mother Gothel, like a venomous snake,

Kidnapped Rapunzel for her own sake.

Keep her captive to help maintain her youth,

Belittling and keeping her from the truth.

Flynn, who stole the crown of the lost princess,

Ended up saving the damsel in distress.

He was escaping from the palace guard,

But in the end, won Rapunzel’s heart.

With a voice so sweet and a heart so pure,

Rapunzel’s kindness, Flynn could not ignore.

For Rapunzel had a dream to chase,

Flynn Rider became her partner in this race.

Together they traveled, obstacles they faced,

Their bond grew stronger, each and every day.

Through danger and peril, they remained true,

Their hearts beating as one, their love grew.

Tangled, a fairy tale that is so fine,

Of love and adventure intertwined.

May this love story never grow old,

A timeless classic continues to be told.

#fairytale #tangled #rapunzel #sweet #love #cuteness overload

Thank you for your support :D

It's been a long and bumpy ride through these 10 weeks. Despite all the negativity and how tough this journey was, I managed to pull it through. Comparing myself to my classmates, I'm a pretty small fry, but it still amazes me why people would wanna read my blog.

I was on the way to University the other day and it was so freaking jam. I was curious about what was causing the traffic jam 'cos I wanna buy breakfast before I go to class. So, I checked Waze to see if I'm able to reach there 20 mins in prior so I wouldn't be late.

Anyway, it was a roadblock that was causing all the pain in the ass. It was the first time in my entire life that I was being asked by the police to "tahan tepi jalan". Hence, I was given a summon 'cos I was playing with my phone while I'm driving.

WTHHHHHH IMMA NEED TO GO TO COURT Y'ALL...

I told my brother and my dad about it. Surprisingly, my dad wasn't mad at me... He volunteered to accompany me to the court on that day itself and asked me to explain to the judge myself :( First family member to attend court sia (it's not something to be proud of lol)

Without further ado, let's move on to what's exciting this week! My family and I went for The Courtyard's Afternoon Tea to celebrate my mother's belated birthday. At first, we thought we were going for the buffet lunch so we ate just a little in the morning. IT'S A SCAMMM!! To be very honest, I personally, wouldn't pay this amount of money to eat micro-foods hahahaa... Maybe 'cos I'm broke af now.

However,  if you're interested to purchase this afternoon tea, it's at the price of RM88/pax and visit (here) for more information.

Once again, thank you & ily! <3

Creative Nonfiction

People fade, feelings stay, memories haunt...

Have you ever cried so bad, longed to scream at the top of your lungs wishing someone would hear you? You experience extreme exhaustion and a sense of inner death.  So vulnerable, so lost… You want to speak or rant to someone about it but it’s deep into the night and you don’t know whom you could turn to without burdening them. So, you just wish and wait in vain for someone to make the first move to message you instead… but it never does. You want to express yourself on social platforms but you hesitated because you’re scared that people might criticize you or think you lack attention.

You wish you could just chill out. Hoping you were one of those individuals who could choose not to give a damn and go to sleep. Sadly, you’re not. Your eyes begin to get puffy from all the sobbing yet your mind continues to race all night long. You could feel your heart breaks a little with every sigh you let out. You begin to reflect on life and overthink each and every thought that enters your head.

You eventually fall asleep when the daylight shines but when you get up you have to put on that smile and face the world again. This feeling stays, it doesn’t just go away. It leaves you feeling dead inside. It’s amusing to think that someone else may be feeling the same way as you do and going through something similar. Yet we are all on our own in this.

A gazillion unanswered questions are running through your head but one particular keep coming up: “When would he/she ever return by my side?” You simply keep trying various tactics to get them back. You seek help from your friends and mutual friends you both had but you tend to pay attention to the ones that assure you and overlook the true guidance. You are at your wit’s end and therefore desperately want them back. It seems as though everything in your universe has crumbled.

You start stalking his/her followers on Instagram whom you think they might actually move on with. They claim that they just need some alone time but you see them hanging out with new people despite their assurances that they don't want you to move on. You begin to wonder if it's time to move on since everything that once seemed right now doesn’t anymore. It seems that no matter what you do, nothing seems to change.

I was clinging to something that never existed. I persisted, struggled, and most importantly, gave it my all, but for what precisely was I putting in such effort? I held myself responsible for all of the problems. When something doesn’t go as planned, I tend to question myself about what went wrong and what I could have done differently. Every day and night, I kept having conflicts with the thoughts and voices in my head.

I have always told myself to hang on because of those few reasons even though there are probably a zillion more reasons why I should leave even if I have never wanted to. I have always been the type of person who would fix something when they are broken instead of throwing them away or replacing them with a new one.

I hung on despite the pain. I believed it was worthwhile and that if I persisted, everything will be just fine. I doubt I will ever be able to forget the moment I realized that there was nothing I could do to make you go head over heels for me again. Even after all the pain you put me through, I still couldn’t hate or stop loving you. I’m so afraid I won’t be able to find someone else like you, I’m so afraid that I may never find the same feeling you once gave me again, instances like these eat me alive.

You took my feelings for granted even though you are aware of my feelings for you but you still lead me on without any intention to get me back. You took advantage of me because you knew I was always there. I was foolish to even believe for one second that I could have changed you.

Deep down, a part of me secretly wishes you to go through hell and suffer the same way I did but my heart can’t put up with it having to watch you go through it all. Love is something that comes naturally, it can’t be forced. Eventually, when you love someone with your whole heart, you would love them more than you could ever love yourself. Hence, I guess that is why I would rather be the one who is suffering rather than watch him hurt.

At the end of the day, being an adult has taught me to deal with it because love is not going to be as uncomplicated as two people living happily ever after. Relationship goals only exist in fairy tales and those don’t exist. We anticipate our love lives to be filled with unicorns and rainbows. Let’s get real here, this will never be the case. Love doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be true. Absence isn’t love. You are experiencing the pain of losing someone who had once given their everything to you.

Love is about give-and-take. It makes us weak but it also makes us strong at the same time. Is it simpler to walk away than to fight for what you really want, is it better to hurt than to be hurt? Nevertheless, what is love without tragedy? I think that one can only truly experience happiness after going through genuine hardship.

 If someone loves and cares about you, their actions will prove it to you. If they truly love you, they will never wish for you to experience any kind of distress, let alone harm you. Those who are sincere about staying will search for justifications, not reasons.

#love

Exhausted.

The weekend was rather hectic. Personally, QingMing's one of the few occasions I get to reunite with my long-distance relatives, (Ok, not exactly long-distance, they still live in Malaysia which I rarely visit heheh) but yeah... Even though it feels slightly different, for how my cousin sis wasn't present this time around, I still have this tiny little hope that I could take my mind off my troubles and have fun with my other cousins during this period.

To me, attachment is actually worse than falling in love. Cos' falling out of love hurts, but trying to detach yourself from something or someone you're already so used to having around you... Eats you alive :(

Getting used to someone, having them there all the time... And when they're gone, it feels like you've lost a part of yourself. I don't feel like doing anything, my thoughts are all over the place... It feels like I've to constantly search high and low for things that are able to sustain that smile on my face. Oh boy, I bet someone is able to empathize with me. But I guess everything will be okay at the end of the day.

Anyway, I'm so tired. I'm so tired of working hard and not seeing any results. I'm so tired of not being recognized for all the time and effort I invest in things. So tired of being okay when I'm really not. So tired of feeling this way...

I feel like my life's all about my assignments, tutorials and lectures now. I don't even seek interest from anything else anymore. Well, expectations suck, but reality sucks more. Despite how painful this is, I'm not giving up. I'm still gonna work extra hard and I believe I'll find true happiness eventually.

I guess like they all say, it's just part and parcel of growing up.

Short story #2

Real-life Cinderella

When technology started advancing, information was so easily accessible to everyone, anywhere at any time. A myriad of attempts used by humans trying to communicate with nonhumans such as animals using portable sensors and artificial intelligence. However, scientists wanted to communicate with animals, not with just visual, sound, touch and chemical signals but with complex information to one.

Selena was like no other woman; she could communicate with animals just like how one would talk to another human being. When she was young, her parents thought that she was making up all those conversations with their puppies at home. “Mummy, the puppies want to go for a walk,” “Daddy, the puppies are hungry”, “Daddy, the puppies told me they saw spirits behind the bushes,” and so on. Her parents only realized Selena’s gift when she preferred to talk to animals rather than human beings in school. Not only that, Selena kept telling her parents that their puppies are not satisfied with the dog food they provided because salmon might not be appropriate for all dogs and it can even be too hard for smaller dog breeds like them. Her parents did not take it seriously at first but when their puppies were sick and started to starve themselves, they start to believe what Selena said was accurate.

Selena never knew what this power meant when she was young. She loves to go to the zoo; she could spend the whole day there just talking to every one of the animals. Other visitors would look at her with a complicated face but her parents knew the reason why. Zookeepers love her as well because she could inform the zookeepers how the animals wanted to be taken care of appropriately. Her parents knew she was going to grow up and be someone who would make a change in society.

Selena grew up and became a vet. She would listen to the stories animals rant about when they were sent to her clinic or pet hotel and advice their owner about it after the treatment has been done. People loved to visit her store because it operates differently from the others. It helps to build a stronger bond between pets and owners after knowing exactly what the animals are requesting and vice versa. She was the real-life Snow White who can communicate with animals.

One day, an email was sent to Selena from the government stating that she is being recruited to help solve a string of mysterious disappearances in the forest. The government knew about Selena’s power to communicate with animals as she was being reported on the news as the “real-life Cinderella” so they hoped that she could help them solve the mystery that was complicating their minds. Selena hesitated at first when she received the email because she did not know how could she help in such a big case. She thought to herself “what can I bring to them, I’m just a neighborhood vet”. Her parents had faith in her so they encouraged her to join the mission.

It was the scariest place at that time as there are more than 80 million acres of preserved woods, mountains and other wilderness. An adolescent named Sherman and his pet dog disappeared mysteriously as if they vanished into thin air. Selena arrived at the place where the government authorities wanted to meet her and they proceeded to the forest together.

When they arrived, it felt like there was nothing alive besides the trees and plants. No animals or insects were to be found for the first few hours. They had no choice but to ask for help from Selena’s “friends”. She called one of the zoo’s people in charge if she can lend an eagle for assistance. The eagle arrived within 15 minutes.

She started by asking the eagle if it could have any clue about where they went or any signs of the other animals in the forest. The eagle then flew around the forest to look for clues. Then, a deer appeared. It guided them to the place where the eagle told him. On the way there, the deer told Selena that a few days ago there was a teenage boy and a dog camping near the river. It might be Sherman and his dog.

While they were strolling through the river, they found a knife poking through a garbage bag. The forensic opens it and found body parts that are being dissected. Besides that, there was acid, sleeping pills and drugs inside the garbage bag too. This evidence was brought back to the lab for further investigation. It might be related to the mysterious disappearance due to the appearance of the new serial killer in town.

It was soon revealed that Sherman fell from the mountains and he is still in a comma. Thus, Sherman’s legs were injured in a bear trap as well. His pet dog fell into the very deep well. Unfortunately, the well was filled with rainwater. The dog had no energy to bark after swimming helplessly for a few days. Selena and the government followed the eagle and the deer as they lead them to where the survivors are. After some time, they finally found the victims and got them the help they needed.

The government appreciated Selena’s help as they had been searching for the survivors for a few days with zero progress. They could not have found Sherman and his dog if it was not for Selena’s help. Her parents were so proud of her because she dared to go on a mission with the government and doesn’t abuse her special gift. Sherman’s parents thanked Selena as well for helping them to find and save their only child in the family.

Short Story #1

High school drama

Kyzo is a teenage boy who was homeschooled his whole life. He was not good at communicating with others as he could not understand what was in their mind. His parents move around a lot because their job scope requires them to. Therefore, Kyzo had no option but to move with them once in a while. His character and personality were also affected by this. It made him an introvert who is shy and quiet. The fact that he was moving so often, he doesn’t have any friends.

When Kyzo turned 16, he was asked to move to a high school in America. He resisted at first but he has no choice but to adapt to the environment there. His parents were worried about him especially on his first week of school as this was his first time attending a normal institution with all kinds of people. Kyzo was always the “new kid” in school, people tends to pay more attention to him as if he was weird just because he was homeschooled. “How was your first day of school?” Kyzo’s parents asked him when he returned home. “It’s all right,” he replied.

People have been giving him nicknames like “weirdo”, “freak” and “nerd”. He felt like a joke to everyone just because he was an easy target. Kyzo kept encouraging himself that he could overcome his fear over the past few weeks.  One day, Kyzo was having lunch alone as usual but the baseball team players decided to make fun of him in front of the whole cafeteria. They took his beverage and poured it on his head. Everyone was watching as one of them held him by the back of his head and repeatedly slammed his face into the cafeteria table. No one came forward to help him even though they knew he did nothing wrong.

Kyzo went home early by skipping class depressed with his glasses broken and his hair wet. Nonetheless, he refuses to tell his parents what happened earlier in school or why he was home earlier than usual. When he got back home, he went straight into his room to clean himself up. After he finished sobbing, he found a mysterious box on his table. He asked his parents if they bought him anything, but they said they have no idea whose it was from or where it came from. He was terrified at first because he thought it was death threats sent by the bullies in school. He did not know how to deal with the box. After looking at the mysterious box for some time, he decided to open it.

It was a smartwatch. Nevertheless, it was not like the other normal smartwatches. It has unique features that allow him to control time such as reverse, rewind, forward, pause and play. He discovers and studied the watch throughout the night so that he could devise a plan to get revenge on the bullies. The second day arrived in a blink of an eye. No one notices Kyzo with the magic watch as he was always the transparent kid in school.

He took the longer route to get to the classroom as he saw from the future that the bullies are waiting for him in front of the restroom. The bullies were punished by the lectures as they were late. During lunchtime, they wanted to find Kyzo for revenge as he was the reason they got into detention. Kyzo went to the cafeteria to have his lunch as usual. The bullies went to his table and grabbed the whole cafeteria’s attention so that they could humiliate him publicly. What they did not know was Kyzo already knew what their next move was. He dodges their punches as agile as a monkey. Everyone was amazed by his moves.

The baseball team members could not get over the fact that Kyzo made fun of them publicly instead. They planned, again and again, to get revenge on him but Kyzo seems to know every move of theirs. They were really confused at first thinking that someone on their team is betraying them. They started to dismiss their members one by one so that they could catch the culprit. As days goes by, they realized no one on the team was snitching on them. Why would Kyzo know what are they planning then?

Kyzo was always a step faster than they are. As time goes by, Kyzo thought that the bullies were over it so he stopped using the magic watch to check what they are up to. However, once the baseball team realized that none of them was standing on Kyzo’s side, they reunited secretly and planned to beat Kyzo up after school to teach him a lesson. One of the baseball team members approached Kyzo at the cafeteria and pretended to apologize to him for being such a bad classmate. Kyzo was naïve enough to believe him. He invited Kyzo to join them after school for a friendly baseball match. Kyzo accepted their invitation and went to the baseball field after school.

“Ring…”, class is dismissed. Kyzo was walking to the field alone where he passes by the parking lot thinking that he would finally have a good time in high school. He was all dressed up in his sportswear. The bullies appeared from behind one of the cars. They hit Kyzo in his face making him unconscious and even pee on him after. Kyzo was traumatized by what would happen next. This time, Kyzo did not travel back in time straight so he could run away from it. He went to the discipline office and asked for the CCTV footage of where the bullies were caught in 4k. He took the recording and travel back in time.

The same day, on the second attempt, Kyzo did not go to the baseball field after school after accepting the team member’s invitation. However, he showed the CCTV footage of him being beaten up to the discipline department’s person in charge. The baseball team members were confused because they did not attempt to beat him up due to the fact that he was not even present. However, they were held accountable as the CCTV footage provides the date and time clearly in the recording.  Besides that, there was a witness which is a lecturer who was returning home late that day.

Kyzo was confused. How would the lecturer remember what happened if he had traveled back in time to change the past? When all of them are having an emergency meeting, Kyzo saw the lecturer wearing the same watch as him. After the meeting, Kyzo went to have a chat with the lecturer. “I was bullied too during my studies; I know how terrible one can be. You’re a good kid Kyzo, let’s make the world a better place.

After the bullies got the taste of their own medicine, they did not attempt to bully Kyzo again. He could finally go to school just like how the other kid does. However, Kyzo did not hold a grudge against it or abuse his new secret power. Instead, he traveled back to the past and found out why each of them behaves the way they do in the present. He also traveled to the future so that he could warn the victims that suffer in advance.

I'm so zoned out at the moment. I kinda lost all my spark while writing my next blog entry. Apparently, my train of thought was abruptly disturbed by my growling stomach. 

Right now, I'm trying to fight the urge of getting downstairs to my kitchen to get a bowl of maggie mee. So much for trying to maintain a healthy diet :/

Anyway, have been sleeping at around 2-3 over the past few weeks. I feel suffocated because I've been so packed with assignments and lectures.

So there was one day when I was having dinner with my parents and we were talking about my internship around June.

And my response to their question on where I wanted to proceed next semester, was "I haven't even started my finals".

WAIT HOLD UP.

You readers must be thinking I'm slacking... but I ain't okayyyy! Just......Lack of inspiration :P

I'm so terribly lazy, I don't even think I deserve to live. Hahahaa

I just wanna get over and done with my assignments and finals. The whole degree program in that sense.

FYI, I'm still contemplating whether or not to get my bowl of maggie.... Whaaaaatttttttt. SO TEMPTING??!

Okay, that's all for now.

Signing off X

Twenty-second Birthday

In all honesty, I never planned to enjoy my birthday this year. 'Cause it's on a Monday :/ Not sure how it works these days but I remember how a couple of years back getting flooded on your Instagram story was da shittt and yeah that was pretty much just it for me.

You can have 3000 virtual friends who would remember your birthday because of Facebook's reminder but it's nothing compared to receiving text messages, phone calls or surprises at 12 midnight from the people you love.

Here's an overview of what happened on my birthday eve...

Was doing my assignments when my cousin sis told me she ordered my favorite milk tea and asked me to pick it up. Turns out, it was my baby girl greeting me the moment I opened the door outside my house. Dumbfounded.

Next, I was given my first cake and presents by the two of them. What's funny was that I asked for her opinion on cakes last year, and this year she went to the same bakery to get them. Cute, right?

This year, I had a simple celebration with my friends at Uni and my boyfriend for dinner. Yassssss barbeque!! I didn't know he had plans for me 'cause we said that we're going to celebrate on Wednesday (no class).

On Wednesday (a kinda belated celebration), we went to Taman Connaught with a few friends :3 I've been looking forward to go there for a long time :P I finally got the sugar-coated haws(bing tang hu lu)! Urghhh so blessed!!

Unwrapping presents, tearing from all the love. It was really heartwarming and I never felt this happy in a long time. Felt like my jaw was cramping up.

It was definitely a day to remember.

Thank you baby and friends and not forgetting my parents!

Also, for each and every one of you who wished me, including my friends from Uni who surprised me, I hope you know that I appreciate every single bit of it from the bottom of my heart. Mua <3

Stay tuned for my next post! Love ya'll xoxo

Love yourself <3

Even if you don't see it, you are doing better than you give yourself credit for. Even if you are lost or where you're supposed to be, you are doing better than you think you are. Even if you don't feel it.

You are not failing if you've tried your best. You are not failing if the results you want aren't showing right now. Even if the decisions you make now affect you later negatively, at the end of the day, it will be okay anyway :D

Always choose the truth over fear. Choose to step out on your own, knowing that whenever you need support, someone will be there. (Thanks to my baby & bbygs :P) Choose to choose yourself over anyone else.

Life is like a roller coaster, but it's all a part of your story.

Money matters, but not the most. Pleasure matters, but not the most. Connection matters. Memories matter. Laughter matters. You matter.

Maybe our youth isn't supposed to be the time when we figure everything out, the time when we understand who we're supposed to be.

Maybe all that we need to do is just move through these years. Experience everything and anything by making those mistakes, falling in and out of love, giving too much of ourselves, saying the right and wrong things, taking multiple paths, and going on several different journeys.

Falling 10 times, just to get up again on the 11th. Being acquainted with what brings us joy and what robs us of our happiness. Maybe that is how we learn, adapt, grow and transform.

We may not have much insight into where we're headed, what we want to devote our lives to or who we are supposed to be, but these years are for us to experience, to be here, in the present, to feel it all, and ride the rollercoaster of life instead of the merry-go-round.

One day, we will end up exactly where we are destined to be. That is when we can look back on these years and realize why things happened the way they did.

Cya! X

Update on my life

If you don't already know, I was absent on Friday. I wasn't "sick" but I feel like shit that day. I was so weak I didn't dare to drive. I didn't skip school on purpose, aku sumpah. I mean, you could tell since this was the first time I was absent :p

Even if you're not caring, just curious. You're going to read this anyway. Okay, here's why.

I knew I had low blood pressure when I was 18. But there's no cure to this, or maybe just me, cause my diet and lifestyle have always been like shit. There are no symptoms that show when I'm going to faint. I just BLACKOUT like that :/

I know, I know. You might be wondering, why don't you go to the clinic and get a medical certificate or tell your parents about it so they'd bring you there. Stopppppp!!! I had my reasons not to.

During MCO, I got dizzy a few times when my mum asked me to help in the kitchen. It was so damn hot🙂I told them I wasn't feeling alright and they said that I was giving excuses for being lazy.

Many other incidents gave me enough reasons NOT to tell them about the problems I'm facing. I just suck it up and move on. At the end of the day, the biggest problem is ME :)

I've never mentioned the relationship between my parents and my boyfriend because things are complicated between them. So, how could I tell them that my boyfriend is the witness? I fainted 3 damn times. Every time when my life is in danger, he's there for me.

Like, what would happen if he's not there? What if I was all alone when I fainted? Would my head knock on the toilet bowl or something and die? Who knows, right?

Sekian.

Thoughts at 3 in the morning

Feeling really exhausted lately. I'm so drained, so tired, so helpless, so lost... So many things to do, yet so little time.

Since young, I used to envy my friends or people in general who are really close to their parents. They could share EVERYTHING with their parents without being judged, criticized or lectured. To be truly honest, I don't anymore. Like deep deep deep deep deep down inside, I still don't :/

One would say I'm not mature enough to think. Yeah, right, cause they're not the ones who's been surviving in this family for the past 22 years. Don't tell me you understand or feel me. You can't be. You're not in my shoes.

You know how most of us have that rebellious teenage phase? Yeaaaaap, that's right. I grew apart from my family ever since.

Disappointments over disappointments. I wouldn't say I've committed the worst sins in the entire world but I'd say I did enough to break my parent's trust in me, for a really long period. Up till now, maybe :p

Things got really tense between my parents and I, to the extent that I didn't wanna come home and I even threaten them that I'd run away because I had no idea how I should face them. To me, home isn't always four walls.

I'm not proud of all the things I've done. Maybe it's a middle-kid thingy. They always made me feel like I'll never be good enough for them no matter what I've done.

Thanks to them, I constantly seek reasons to doubt myself. I feel like I'm not good enough for anyone and oftentimes, I feel like a bad investment to everyone. I feel like I'm not worthy.

I basically don't see much value in myself. The insane combo is that I'm really insecure and I tend to seek validation from others. I need recognition, appreciation and encouragement. I need constant reminders from people I love that I'm good enough.

I have no idea how to solve this and no matter how many compliments I receive, I'd choose to believe in that one bad comment. Funny story, I'm no influencer but from time to time people tend to create anonymous accounts just to send hate messages to me. Lol.

There's nothing to love about myself and there's no reason why people should love me. I really hate how I feel like my own worth and value have to be determined by someone else and I just can't help it.

I'm sorry I'm not the perfect daughter or the perfect child you guys are expecting me to be. I'm just a mundane. I just want to make my own way. I just want to be a person and not even a great one, just decent.

Right, that's for all now.

Saturday thoughts

Spent my previous Tuesday, Valentine's Day, with my man. We went to watch the re-released Titanic. I swear I've never watched this movie before even though it's one of the most iconic romance movies ever. And when I did, it was in a 4K 3D version.

Thinking about this scene in Titanic where Jack trusts Rose to ax his handcuffs after she fails to aim at the same place twice. Now that’s romance.

Guess what, I've got flowers on Valentine's day too!! Yea yea, I know this is probably going to sound cheesier than Mac and cheese but with the right one, every day is Valentine’s Day <3

Love like there's no tomorrow. He's the Jack to my Rose.

As you guys already know, my pillar of strength is leaving for China to further her studies :'( I mean, I’m happy for her. It’s just that I can’t stop thinking about those moments where our family usually has gatherings or reunions and she’s not there by my side. Cause she’s been supporting my ass since 2001 :( I’m probably crying while writing this down.

I've already said most of the things I wanted, to you personally, as for something I want everyone reading this to know…

I've known you for nearly 22 years now. I felt like I grew so much knowing you. You made me realize how everything that used to break my heart doesn't matter anymore, and everyone around me could tell that I'm a much happier person around you. Gone were the days when I felt like my life was trapped in a deep, dark hole where I only had myself.

I've never felt so connected with someone before, and I'm really glad to have Rou Hui as my half-sister. As a person, or as a cousin, she's someone I really value, someone I know would never ever ever walk out on me even if everyone else does. 

You are probably the best living thing I've ever met in my entire life. Hahahaa living thing. So much for being the best :p

Thanks, baby girl, love ya. (Don't get goosebumps or start tearing up, please. I know I'm very sweet. Hehe)

Sorry bbyg, I had to end this post with your ridiculous love shaped nostrils :D

Escaping reality

Had an amazing Friday over at Spark Club KL. Sometimes I wonder how life would be if I were to live with my closest ones, with all the money and freedom I can have.

It's been a really tough semester in University and there are times when I doubt my own capabilities... All the stresses including achieving high cGPAs, maintaining my scholarships, my parents especially, etc. Needless to say, due to the end of MCO, physical finals are back on track. Just so you know, it's my first physical exam at University :p

Sometimes I just wish I could drop everything and leave them all behind, go somewhere where nobody knows me, expects nothing from me, and experience a completely different life... But how can someone escape reality forever? I just kind of suck up everything and move on.

In life, you either give up, give in, or give it your all. Right?

It's been a long and bumpy ride through the years. Despite all the negativity and how tough this journey was, I managed to pull through it all. And I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today if it wasn't for those of you who stuck by me and showed endless support.

I'm so freaking happy that both of my baby girls had the chance to meet each other in person before my cousin sis goes to China to further her studies. She's leaving in a week, I'll probably blog about it next week ;) So hopefully I could find some interesting stuff to share.

This bunch of people are AWESOME!

After the party, we went back to the Airbnb for supper and a chill drink. It was almost 6a.m. in the morning when we head off to bed. Crazy little shits.

My boyfriend and I were arranged to share a room for the night. Duhhh :p

I wasn't willing to wake up until it was about time to check out from the Airbnb. I slept so peacefully the other night despite having insomnia for 2 years. It's not because of the alcohol, it's HIM.

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Waking up next to him, in his arms, and his scent all over me...

Everything still feels surreal. Overall, it was a wonderful 2D1N with the best companions I could ever ask for, don't think any other parties could top this one.

Ciao X

What's love?

I must say it's been an eventful month. 2023 started off pretty well I guess. Nevertheless, I've never really thought of any new year's resolutions this time. I don't know what's ahead of me, I can't tell what's gonna happen tomorrow, but for now - I just want to be happy inside. 

Just caught "Someday Or One Day" last week with the love of my life. It was our first movie together after 2 years. Let's not go into the details. Long story short, I'm just glad he's back.

Here are a few of my favorite scenes from the movie...

Huang Yu Xuan and Li Zi Wei were probably the sweetest couples in the show. Every time I watch movies like this, I just get so emotionally attached and the movie will just continue to play at the back of my head.

The moment when I finished watching the movie, I was so emotional. What is love? I cried when Huang Yu Xuan traveled back in time for the first time to hug LI Zi Wei. When both of them passed through countless timelines to search for each other and to save one another again and again with no regrets, my tears just won't stop streaming down my face.

When the movie has come to an end, I was so glad Li Zi Wei and Huang Yu Xuan are finally together. I felt the power of love. It was what was once gone but I'm starting to feel it in my heart once again. This kind of love is mighty but small. It is so small that it can only exist in one person's body but mighty enough to overthrow your entire world for one person.

"Someday Or One Day" doesn't just bring me love or confusion about the messy timelines. It carried my expectations and memories from 2019-2022. 3 Years. I believe everything that happened in these 3 years was something unordinary for everyone. You guys should totally catch the movie if you've yet to! Starring Alice Ko, Greg Han, Patrick Shih, and Kenny Yen.

I really miss that feeling of knowing that there's always that special someone who will be there every day and night. I'm glad that the one who gave me the universe is back in my life again despite all the ups and downs we've been through.

So how can one possibly determine who's the right one? Even if we are aware, sometimes what is best isn't necessarily what is right. What about the wrong person at the right time and the right person at the wrong time? See, here's the thing, love is like taking a gamble.

"You only know what's missing until it's gone."

Love comes with pain and sometimes you just have to find that special someone who's worth hurting for.

PS - My motto: Do what makes you happy and make sure you don't live with regrets.

Alright, will be back for more soon! :)
