愛無愧

耀眼金色的包裝 你今天好比如一束花 明天這一刻璀璨嗎
拆開金色的包裝 我今天應該能看到吧
誰故意去誘惑 沉迷難逃嗎

或者心裡 就似是有鬼
越想觸碰 越要學放低
有一種忌諱 是一世
什麼亦 能摧毀 Ahh~

或者可以 自我控制 別理會世間引誘豔麗
誰可以 就算得到身邊一切 然而仍能無愧

就怪當天不小心 那一絲的差錯已送運 連帶了今天的處分
結果一早應該知道 竟膽敢一試太過分
忘記有過快樂 如毫無良心

或者心裡 就似是有鬼
越想觸碰 越要學放低
有一種忌諱 是一世
什麼亦 能摧毀 Ahh~

為了需要 甚至獻計 在這亂世間引誘豔麗
如果你 妄想得到身邊一切 對錯任你控制

Fate and Tragedy

Sometimes in life, tragedies occur. You will feel very depressed. You will feel very sad. You will feel very frustrated. You will feel that it is unfair and that these happenings should not have happened.

What if it happens around you?

The magnitude of it amplifies and increases by many folds, seemingly filled with heartache and sadness. It is as if a part of you has been ripped apart and never to return ever again.

Well, to all readers out there, this is the inconvenient truth.

On the 17th of January 2010, 5 Chung Ling students and a teacher perished from a terrible accident during a dragon boat practice session.

I say this with heartfelt agony and pain. My heartfelt condolences goes to all the families and friends who have known them.

And right now, the blame game starts just so soon after this has happened. It just adds to the frustration which has already circulated the whole issue.

Perhaps it is time people try to rationalise that there is nothing left to be rationalised.

Perhaps, it is just fate. It is just fate that put everything into play causing this. On a day which everything got wrong, fate is just simply unavoidable.

No matter how you try to cheat death, one day, it will suffice. Even if you lay at home sitting down on a couch watching TV, you still cannot escape fate.

So, it is time people accept. It is a time people should stop all this blaming and pointing, which is just a nuisance to what already is a tragic event. It is time people should see that it was just not meant to be. Let's just mourn over their loss and carry on with our lives. Cherish every moment we have. Live life to the fullest and get up from this fall we have just experienced! I'm sure that is what those who are gone which we would do.

Life goes on...

May the five students and teacher rest in peace. Amen.

8 Days In A Lift?!

Woman survives eight days stuck in lift

Police and firefighters in Spain have rescued a woman who spent eight days trapped in the lift of her apartment building, police say.

The 35-year-old was found conscious but disorientated and was taken to hospital after she was found in the private lift in the town of Sitges near Barcelona.

The police were alerted by relatives in Madrid who had reported her missing, and then heard her cries for help when they visited the building.

Police said it was not clear how the woman, who lived alone, managed to survive for that length of time.

The lift had apparently stalled due to an electrical fault.

Source : ABC.net.au

LOL? That woman must be seriously on a very light diet to be able to get used to it. Gosh..... @_@

Of Positives from Negatives

So much for harmony.

It's about time something like this happened. With all the controversies and ridicule throughout the many years, does it really take all this to only make people realise? Gosh, I truly question the people's reaction time.

It might not seem as big a problem as it is. I mean, who the hell has the power to say that the term 'Allah' cannot be used by anyone else. By saying this, you are indirectly saying that you are as the likes of Prophet Muhammad perhaps, founder of the Islamic religion we all know of today.

First, you give history lessons to us dominated with that religion and its origins. Then, you come taint that very image. You know, this is not a bad thing after all. Giving us Sejarah on Islamic origins just makes us more aware of what Islam is all about. In fact, it made us realise that all this that you claim out of Islam is never part of Islam. Instead of serving its purpose to show Islam, it showed us the real side of this whole belief instead of what has been muttered out of politicians.

Maybe, it is better to not spark racial remarks. Hey, take the recent church arson attacks. Although I am not Christian, this just shows how intolerant some people are. It is just sad I tell you.

Well, perhaps let's take another look at this matter. Are there any positives out of this?

I'll answer, "Yes!"

In fact, there is a lot to be taken out of this. If it takes a few firebombs and wrecked churches to awaken the people, it certainly is worth it. Now, people can see the real side. People can now realise how irrational this can become. You say elections don't matter. Take another good look. First the whole dispute over the word was never supposed to happen. It takes them a whole 16 year period to realise that The Herald used to word and finally take action against it? I mean, come on. Common sense tells you this whole issue is a total ridicule.

Next, for once, this whole issue takes its appearance on CNN. That's right. At least now, the whole world can see it. It may not be a groundbreaking achievement to most of you. But at least, people from the outside world can get to see that, Malaysia is not as peaceful as it seems after all. Even now, foreigners can voice out their opinion on websites and say that this whole problem is a disgrace as well as how Wawasan 2020 can never be achieved if something like this cannot even be sought out. This is just very depressing.

I might not be right about everything. But if even foreigners can take a good look and say all this is crap, then it should be pretty obvious. Gosh, this is so not meant to be racist or anything. In fact, I respect every race out there. It is more like down to those individuals who can commit acts like this that deserve to be pointed to.

Malaysia is a country where many races live in peace alongside one another. I think this has been running away from us already. No doubt, this is every Malaysians dream....... Dreams do come true.... don't they?

Life goes on.

How is your glass?

Two, the milleniums.

Zeros, the centuries, the decades

Nine, the years.

After twenty four weeks,

three hundred and sixty five days.

All is to change in the coming hours.

Try reflecting over the minutes,

and even seconds which have gone by,

how would you judge this bottle of wine?


And there I stood, watching as those memoirs of yesteryear flash by. At one moment, there was a start of a new year, fresh and energizing. Always that way at the start. And now here we are, all standing by the tip of the canyon, the end of this journey, all ready and set to embark on a new one ahead as we watch the past fall behind, like it was just a matter of seconds.

Maybe those seconds mattered more than what it seemed to be. It has always been the human brain playing a trick on us, don't you think? Like some psychologists say, the brain cuts off less meaningful events, moving forward events to make them seem very near to us when in truth, we have gone through much more than we thought we would. Time had given us three hundred and sixty five days, only to have it converted into a matter of minutes.

On one hand, you might say I have not done much. I sometimes think so too. It is as if I have poured cheap dessert wine into my new wine glass. Bored is the term I usually use. Perhaps I indeed have not made much improvement or achievements from the eyes of the spectators, still planted in front of this little corner of mine as always. I guess this is what most think of themselves when they reflect, don't they? Try to think about it. How many on this Earth would think that they have done a lot and are extremely satisfied about how they have filled their wine glass? I'd say not more than ten percent. Sadly, when requested to give a suggestion for any amendment of time, everyone hoped they have more hours.

Yes we will never be satisfied. It is human nature. Coming out fresh from Psychology 1B, I dare say that according to various studies, the human happiness level is constant. When we experience significant events, it is then that we experience the significant change. Though, it still levels off soon after. We will then come into that same level of happiness as we once were. Many say they wish for happiness. Honestly, can this ever be achieved? I guess that question can be left for the bored in later days.

If I wrote what I have done in an essay and submit it to a superstar panel, I bet all of them would say I have wasted it. Give them to mega entrepreneurs, they would say I am stupid enough to waste income. What do you expect? Half a year of slacking plus half a year of slacking. I bet the only times I had ever made any progress can be shortened to a matter of weeks.

However, I dare say that 2009 has been the most productive year of my entire life. Physically, I may not have done much. But as far as how I thought I made my steps, I feel I have done so effectively. It could have been more, that I cannot deny. But it takes a little bit of self reflection to make someone get out of that little shell they were once guarding themselves with all these years.

I have not felt so proud of what I have been through for so long. 2009 brought me a change to my life. My perceptions, my ideas. It was when I realised what I had really wanted and what I had passion about. It was then I discovered the very pieces that form my soul. It was then that I finally reflected through all my life, and finally come to my senses on what I was to go through in the coming decade.

This may seem kind of small. But hey, who would dare say that they know what they want for themselves, truthfully and with confidence? That is an achievement itself that goes a long way. I found my interests, my goals and my soul. Finally, "我的自述" should not be much of a problem. Something that I should have mastered a long time ago. The question of the centuries.

Anyhow, words must be put into action. A new dawn looms ahead at the horizon, promising so much hope and excitement. Let the psychics say all they want about omens and predictions. It is not up to them to predict how we should run our lives. Destiny might ask you to predict your own life, making it your destiny to do it. But since it is our destiny to do all that we are supposed to do, why not look ahead with a smile and take the next footstep in our destiny's path. As for me, I'm just happy to have the privilege to do something I have not wanted to do for the last 16 years of my life. Haha. Don't you just love what your destiny can do to yourself? I do. And hopefully, those around the globe would love their destinies. Onward with the millenium!

Coming back to the wine glass. High class wine drinkers say dessert wine drinkers are low class. Red wine is the thing out there. I'd have to give them a slap in the face. A wine glass is meant for wine. If dessert wine is not wine, what is it? Besides, come to think of it, dessert wine can prove to be quite a lovely beverage too. As a new wine glass is placed before me, what should I pour into it? Well, that's the question I'd leave for tomorrow.

As for now, there is still 3 quarters of an hour to go here in the land down under. My best wishes to all that I have been so privileged to meet out there! To all in Penang and all over the world. Let us all have a toast with the last few sips of the wine in our wine glass and enjoy every moment of it!

To all readers out there,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope you have an awesome glass of wine! =)

Covey-ing the Message

A passage I've come over a couple of times already. Not the first time. Yet, suddenly got reminded about this in an email (Thanks :) ). A bit long I know, but worthwhile. Just a little something I'd wish to share with all you delightful readers out there. =D

Discover the 90/10 Principle.

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.

We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? ……….By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example.

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.

What happens next will be determined by how you react.

You curse.

You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.

Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.

When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day?

  • A) Did the coffee cause it?
  • B) Did your daughter cause it?
  • C) Did the policeman cause it?
  • D) Did you cause it?

The answer is “D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?

Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why?

Because of how YOU REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?

WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?

Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job.

Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.

Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result?

Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!

Many thanks to Stephen R. Covey for this article! Something to remind us all about how we should deal with problems and not overreact. Some things you might argue cannot be helped. But if a little bit of damage control can turn things around, it goes a long way. A thought I would like to share :)

Monday, November 9, 2009

Sometimes, we see things in a very simple way. Our very actions and activities day by day prove to be nothing but a routine to us, seemingly harmless in every way. A friend once told me that there is nothing to be afraid of, it's only the fear inside your heart.

That is in many ways, true. Yet, sometimes, you can't help but feel it.

I, myself, have a great flaw - paranoia. During situations where I feel I have no control of, freaking out is the first thing on my mind's to-do list for some reason. I certainly wished that I didn't have it, for if I didn't, I would have been a more successful person in life. At least, that's what I thought.

Come to think of it, though, I may have been a completely different person.

Well, that aside, sometimes, things can not be within your grasps any time. Try as you like to gain control over it, but it won't work.

Take life as an example. Everyone lives their own free lives, aiming to be the best that they will ever be.... constantly going higher and higher till you reach the top.

However, in this Rat Race, there is bound to be an "Mousetrap accident".

External forces would play their little game of disruption, constantly providing obstacles and danger in our way. Just as you'd play Monopoly. If you took a thousand turns, there is bound to be once where you'd lose cash... or even head to jail. Life is unfair as I've learned. People don't wish for calamities. You see rain dances, but not earthquake dances, right? Yet, they come inevitably and are unavoidable.

Such, as the news recently suggested. Although I might not know this person, the impact was still felt. The fact that the external force seemed to be of low danger to many just shows how little things deserved to be watched out for. No wonder the elders always tell us to be careful. Even in examinations, we are taught the concept of being cautious. This just highlights it all.

Though, cautious itself, sometimes, just isn't enough. "It's not like I've seen death on the news for the first time" as another friend blogged. But this one, considerably closer than most of them, just gives you a wake up call on how bloody precious life can be and how ridiculously cruel it can also be. It was........... out of our control.

For some reason, it just felt emotional. Just goes to show how much we should appreciate life and not whine about the little things we face everyday. We should live it to the maximum while we can.

want to be someone extraordinary in near future..

A big dream of the late James that could not be fulfilled. A reminder to us all who want to achieve greatness. Life, as it is, is not eternal and perfect. Fate, as it is, is hard to be changed. Instead of trying to change fate, work on what we have and do as much as we can. Live life well!



To the three, may you rest in peace.

For The Love Of Art

Ah! The WileyPlus assignment is out! *runs to do*

Well, I guess when you go into uni, you get lots of cool things. Not just the technology and systems. But also, how the assignments are done. I have just completed my WileyPlus assignment :), something we have to do every 3 weeks or so. Got something new that I'd wish to share :P *not sure if I'm allowed to tho, but here goes*

Behold, THE ULTIMATE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY DRAWING JAVA PROGRAMME!



Drawing my dipeptides



My final answer.

So that's what you call a MarvinSketch. Honestly, it's one of the most troublesome programmes. Pulling elements and bonds here and there! Can't I just use an interactive pencil and draw some cool structure like this?

On second thought, maybe not. Haha. Life rocks when you go to uni :P

Un-surprised

Gonna be a little emo. Well, what can I say? It's not like I never saw it. I was never surprised. Yes, excuses may come all they want. But still, sometimes, you feel like you're like a louse, being such an annoyance that you don't even know it. Yet, sometimes you know you did nothing wrong.

The world is constantly changing. For one moment, you thought you belonged. Yet at one moment, everything goes behind you.

What can I do? I knew it from the start. Surprise? Nah. I guess I was trying too hard. Maybe it's time for something fresh and leave everything behind. At least I can say that I did my best. For all that I know, a small notice would not be even sensed.

Maybe it's not what you did wrong. Maybe sometimes, it's some people's problem. They just don't value you enough. Even after all you tried and constantly seeking ways to improve, it just wouldn't work for you. Why is it like that? How I wish life was ever fair to us all.... Then, I would not suffer from this predicament. This just s*cks.

Remembering what a friend said last time, I guess it was true. Would it make that much of a difference? Trying to defy it, every attempt was thrown to fight it. I guess like another friend said, desperation leads you nowhere. True enough.

Just want to feel known. So much for the past....

The Miracle

Finally, a breather. What I'm supposed to do is done. Now, on towards the light! Soon, it'll all change and a new beginning will arise. But anyhow, it has been one heck of a road.

Whether I get what I want or not is another matter. Even if I ever wanted it so dearly, all I can hope for now is a miracle in life. Something, that I admit I have not seen for a while. Then again, I might see many miracles happening around me already, not knowing it... or perhaps, neglecting it.

I have always wondered why my life is this way. To be honest, even if I can say others are pessimistic, it still does not take away the fact that I have a doubtful, somewhat pessimistic thinking as well. Even what I say on this little spot contradicts what I have previously thought. I guess, this is the art of learning. Perhaps, after all those negative thoughts, you finally realise that what you keep thinking of is futile. It is practically useless to keep thinking that life is going against you.

True, you can't deny the fact that life sometimes feels like waves of tsunami smacking your very soul. I certainly felt that way some time last year. It feels really bad, I admit. For someone who has faced very little difficulties, sometimes, the smallest of obstacles can prove to be a great one to jump over. Not obstacles like Chemistry that some face, but obstacles like attachments and life in general. Rejection is simply something you may not fancy in that particular time. But hey, immaturity got the best of me I'm afraid.

Life is like a living hell? Yeah, this is probably on everyone's mind at times. You probably find life to have no meaning. The more you think of it, the more disappointed and saddened you become of how your life is. You look at the people around you and wonder why you can not be like them or have what they have. You see people having what you can't have, and keep dreaming on, only to let the dream disappoint you time and time again. It is then that you feel depressed. Doesn't everyone go through this?

But if you think of it again, if everyone goes through this, wouldn't it make sense that we are all envying one another. When this happens, wouldn't it just indicate that we are just fools who only know how to appreciate what we don't have. Why don't we just appreciate what we have and make the most out of it? Easier said than done, especially even when you don't want to think that way, you just can't help it.

How we wished life was just filled with miracles. Everyday, why won't there be a world where everyone suddenly become billionaires. Why won't there be a world without broken hearts? Why won't everyone get what they want! But if you look at it, THE WORLD IS THAT WAY. If you take a look at relationship, if A and B likes C, there is bound to be a problem. If both of them gets what they want, would you mind if we cut C in half? Either way, there is bound to be a broken heart.

In fact, miracles do happen everyday. Everyday in life, you see couples come together, cancer survivors, near escapes etc. Doesn't it strike you that you see a miracle every time you watch the news? If you learn how to appreciate what happens in your life, you would also realise that miracles happen everyday in your own life! It's just that we are too ignorant or fortunate to realise the very fortunes we have.

Perhaps something would show how life is to be appreciated. How miracles can happen anywhere when destined to. Today, a mother let go of her pram with her baby in order to pull up her pants. In the process, the pram starts to move right down into the railway track right in front of the mother. The mother watched as the baby and the pram fall onto the railway track as a train steamrolls past the station. The mother lunged at her infant, desperate to save the precious baby......... It was not enough...... Thankfully, the emergency brakes were used. However, the train already ran over the tram with the baby.......................... Sad now? Here'some prove for you. Observe the pram and the train passing by.


BUT WAIT! THE BABY WAS SAFE! How?! I don't think Mr. Universe can survive a train running over him. How can a baby survive? In fact, the baby only sustained a small bump on his head? How can the softest and weakest of skin muscles survive such a large force? I got one word for ya - MIRACLE!

Besides, if you think of it, how we ever came to exist is a miracle itself.... Hence, don't feel so bad about life, the thought might just be the very object that eats it up instead. Be strong, be positive!

Where U At

My message to MBBS degree (LOL, I'm not joking)



Well, check out the translations if you don't believe me ;). Anyhow, I bet Sau Fei would love this song too haha. Thought I'd put a song for all of you who are disturbed/depressed/busy/exam-ing/studying/emoing people these days. Time to take a breather from all that crap. Listen to a nice song after a crappy day like how I told my interviewer I'd do it. Life is not meant to be dull, but enjoyed to its fullest. Feel the love!

Take it away, Taeyang-shi!

Goodbye

From the UoA computer suite:

If you are thinking that I am leaving this blog to rot, you are one crazy hag. Just a title to scare some. Then again, it seems like a very appropriate title for what I am about to say.

If some of you might be aware, I'd probably be moaning about bad interviews. Well, it is true. Nervousness got to my head I'm afraid. The once control and preparation I had was all gone in front of what was to be my Biology lecturer, who looked friendly yet sometimes a bit uninterested. You would know that I really have doubts on a lot of things. That glimpse of his disinterest just caught my attention, probably affecting how I was to perform. You can't help it. When you are blabbing tons of stuff out which is not crap but full of logical points, you would surely feel weird when the interviewer does not give any reply or makes a rather "no-effect" face. I guess it is safe to say that my lecturer has darn good acting skills to intimidate the ones he interviews, hah? Maybe XD.

Well, of course, the usual messing up with words and having your tongue tied continued to wreak havoc onto my interview replies. It kind of sucks to know that after all those interviews, I still get the same feeling every time - "Saying something then regretting that I said it too soon, making me mess up my points." Yeah, I think it was evident a few times, which could have made him have the thought that I prepared the entire thing which was supposedly unprepared.

Anyhow, what's done is done. After one day of complaining, I think it's safe to say that I have expressed every discontent I had towards my interview and come back to the highway again. Not confident as after I did my PQA. This was a totally different feeling. It was a normal interview which I personally screwed up. All I have to blame is myself, and then move on with life. You know, even if I don't get this, there's always an alternative route to it.

I should know. I've been through it. If you want to talk in the point of university acceptances, I bet no one other than perhaps JR (He applies too many, his fault :P) would understand how rejection has become a very normal process in my life. In April, almost all but one rejected me. In June, more came. Furthermore, I get official rejection letters from places like Harvard. Hey! I GOT A HARVARD LETTER, AIN'T THAT COOL?

Maybe not. But the point is, even if a girl supposedly dumps you, you think you won't have another girl who is equally as attractive whether outside or in that doesn't want you. Think about it. With all your heart, you can do everything *ripped of With All Your Heart by plusOne*. Even if an earthquake strikes Vanuatu, it didn't strike Fiji.... well in geological terms, yet. But anyhow, life is just like that. Whenever you fail, you mourn and cry over spilt milk. Sour grapes. After that, you naturally find it the norm. Like recently in Psychology, I learned that the change in happiness is short-lived. Even if you win the lottery, wouldn't you be happier for what, 2 years? After that, you tend to be as happy as before.

Same goes for sadness. Mourn about it, smash yourself for it. What you are doing is wasting your ATP that your body so dearly needs. Think over it and correct yourself. Improve yourself. If life were simply just about winning, who is going to lose? Someone is bound to. It might seem dark at a point. But hey, find another way towards the light. Perhaps, because of rejection, you can find something better in your life! Certainly what I got. Why not try it?



Remember, sometimes goodbye IS a second chance! :)

I Had A Bad Day

Nothing is perfect. I guess it has just been justified hah? At one moment, you thought finally you have finished everything there is to do and have a really good day. At another moment, things just never go your way no matter how much you want it to be your way. Sometimes, it's just not your fault but because of others, you have to take the pain and disappointment. Yet, sometimes, everything seems mixed and all jumbled up.

Things like this happen. The day I just went through was just indescribable. Some things were done was just not my fault. Everything was because of someone else's mistake. Although I hate to say that the mistake repeated itself in a matter of days, it still happens. And with this mistake that affected you, it makes your entire mood for the day change. Everything that you don't desire just flows right into your life.

They say a bad mood and mindset ultimately make you encounter negative happenings. I never believed it. I thought as long as you tried to make it better, you can change destiny. True that a bad mood can lead to this, but sometimes, it's just luck. Why do some people start the day sad and yet end up with so much fortunes? Sometimes, they don't have positive mindsets like I do as well. And yet, everything comes to them. It's luck for me.

But what's true about that statement is that a bad mood leads you to a bad day. Contradicting? Let me explain. Think of it like lava from a volcano *sorry I can't think of anything less violent after today's happenings*. It starts off at the peak, and then slowly flows down. The more common illustration are of basaltic lavas *pardon me for Geology terms*. They branch as they travel down the slope of the volcano. What started off on top ultimately branches off to the bottom and causes the rest of it to happen. The lava flows from the start to the end.

Well, using this simple illustration, put it into real life. Start the day with a bad mood.... and you do things with little mood. Every time someone just had a disappointing occurrence, they wouldn't have the feeling to do anything else. It's natural. I wouldn't say that the bad mood aura attracts more negative things. It just simply causes it. When you have a bad mood, you do the next stuff with a bad mood. And when those end up not satisfactory, you get an even worse mood. With this mood, blah blah blah. You get the picture. Ultimately, I guess it depends on how you control your mood.

Pain and disappointment are self-imposed. FALSE. They are definitely not always so. When someone else is at fault, you are sometimes the victim of it. However, it's these little things that lead to further mishaps. Like today. I started with a bad mood, leading me to forget a document, leading me to waste more cash AND leading me to waste my time. And because my bad mood made me forget another thing, it cost me even more time! That sucks right? Yeah, even the shopkeeper saw it.

How to deal with this? EQ! Yes. I admit I have low EQ. But well, my recovery and realisation rate is super high, I dare say. Upon suffering pain, I usually panic, as most know me. After the loss, I usually go back to the "no feel" state. Sometimes, it's because the emotions get the best of your logic. If you let your logic take you through it, sometimes, you would see that it isn't so bad after all. You'd start to realise that, it's just another one of those days. Get over it like how you get over every challenge. Even if luck is against you, GO AGAINST IT! Fight it! It takes a true warrior to survive a battle! Nothing stopped men of Sparta from victories in the past. Although they soon succumbed, they still had victories and triumphed against the invaders. Even with the challenges ahead, WE CAN STILL DO IT!

And oh, thought I should include something for this instead of plain text. Sorry if I wasted your time reading my rants haha. Something familiar to refresh your minds :)




Message of the Day :
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Go for the ride. At the end of it, there comes the light :)

Patience is virtue

Sorry for all the commotion, but well, needed some place to express it. Sometimes, things just don't go your way. You know it is always wrong the way those things go, but on purpose, it would try to escape from sense.

Then again, if life had made sense from the beginning, nothing would have been achieved by the human race. True that Qin Shi Huang never thought of sense when sacrificing all he had to build what is to be the world's longest structure. If he had made sense, perhaps the whole territory of China might be in the hands of Mongols for a long time. Who'd knew? Till now, people still deem it as an act of murder when in truth, it was a saviour to many.

As if the world itself made sense. How on earth would you imagine flying clumps dust coming together to form the core and then slowly forming the many layers which eventually make the Earth how it is today? Does that make any sense? If I use the dustbunnies under everyone's seat and compressed it with a machine, would it make me a mini-earth? Sounds illogical right? Yet, it is one of the most convincing and proven ways of planet formations.

The world makes little sense. Keep that in mind. Sometimes, it's these illogical methods which eventually makes what we call sense in the first place.

Patience is virtue as the title says. Well, true. Sometimes, even if it is totally non-sense, it is wise to tolerate it. Little things should be put aside and left to rest. Mistakes happen in life. It's better to show an act of friendliness than cast others aside over a small matter. After all, it's working together that brings any group success.

Making more friends is better than making enemies, that I know for a fact.

Message of the day : Friends have no value. It is impossible to put any price tag on friendships since it's one of life's many existence factors. Appreciate your friends, make new friends, learn to be a people's person. Be patient with mistakes and mishaps, sometimes it is this attitude that make them respect you. Just look at Obama ;). Why not learn from that?

And oh, keep sense and logic out of the way please? Life is not an operable machine. It takes creativity and sensitivity.
