~7 Cardinal Rules For Life~
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Life can be rough. And life's never easy.
But sometimes, we can look at life the other way round =)
Here are 7 simple rules to live your life.
They may or may not apply to you..
I instagramed this before. But, I thought, why not I post them here too?;D
Here goes!
1) Make peace with your past
So it won't disturb your present.
True enough. Sometimes, people dwell in the past, they tend to forget that they are actually living in the present. They miss the opportunities that are right in front of them because they can't let go of the past. Sometimes, they regret on the choices or mistakes they made before. Thing is, each and every one of us make mistakes or the wrong choices in life. These mistakes and choices are what mold us into a better and more cautious person. People need to see these. Yes the past may hurt. They may suck big time. They may haunt you. But, that does not mean you are not gonna heal or put it behind, right?=) It takes time. And with time, it heals everything. Scars might be left to remind you of the past. But never let them bring your spirits down. Make yourself stronger. Life goes on. There are better things waiting for you in the future. The past is there for a reason. To remind us on the journey we have gone through. Leave the past. Live the present. Plan the future.
2) What other people think of you
is none of your business.
Yes, you may take their opinions or advices on certain things. However, what people think of you, do not take them too literally. They are not you. They do not know your stories. Let them judge. People can be so judgmental but that does not mean that they are always right. They do not control your life. You are the one living your life. Judge yourself on your own. You are who you are. Nobody's gonna change that. Of course in life, you bound to meet people who like you for who you are. You are also bound to bump into people who dislike you. But, that's alright. It is impossible to please every single human being in the world. People are difficult to please. pfft. You just gotta be comfortable with who you wanna be. If you care about what others think of you, then you will always be their slaves because you are just living up to their expectations. Be comfortable under your own skin. Just simply, be yourself =D And be happy!!!
3) Time heals almost everything.
Give it time.
Wounds heal by themselves. A cut can slowly disappear. A fracture can be fixed. A heartache can be cured. Of course they do not heal in split seconds. And also sometimes, you need to be under certain medication to fasten the process. However, give it time to slowly patch up what is broken. If something is hurting you so deeply now, give it time to heal. Be patient. Take it as a test. And also, distract yourself with other things. Other things that will make you forget of the pain you are experiencing. Things that make you happy and forget about what is making you sad. Pick up a hobby or do charities. Go out. Meet new people. Pick up some skills. Learn new things. These shall fasten your process of healing =)
4) No one is in charge
of your happiness. Except you.
You are the person who controls the paths taken in your life. Of course, with God's wills. You choose the path that you think will make you happy. You take up chances that will make you happy. You are the one who make choices in your life. You are the one who controls your own happiness. Yes, there are people who will make you happy. But these people are the people who you choose to be with. who you feel you are most comfortable. You may be happy because you get good results for your exams or you get an opportunity for a scholarship or to study abroad. But, all these are based on your own efforts. Based on your own sweat and tears. YOU are reason behind these. You feel happy on your own accomplishments. And in order to be happy, the ground rule is of course, be happy of who you are and how you look ! =) think positively =D
5) Don't compare your life to others
and don't judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Every one of us has a different journey of life. Some might have suffered more than the others. Some might be born into a rich family and is always pampered with everything he/she wants. However, I believe God has His plans for us. He does not give challenges for those who cannot handle. Appreciate your own journey. Find the meaning to it. Learn from it and don't give up if the going gets tough. Never compare yourself with others. Never try to change your journey into theirs. They have different sets of journey. Be contented with what you have and work hard if you want to achieve a certain goal. You have no clue what the others might have gone through to achieve a certain kind of success in life =) Or what they are trying to get through in a tough life. You may not have the best of everything, but make the best of everything you have ;)
6) Stop thinking too much
it's alright not to know the answers.
They will come to you when you least expect it.
In exams, we are awarded with marks if our answers are right or logical. Sometimes, there are no right or wrong answers to questions that are open-ended. There are no definite answers to certain questions or obstacles in life. Thinking or worrying too much will not bring you anywhere. But creates a whole lot of burdens on your shoulders. Why put yourself into such situations? Why torture yourself? Ask yourself this, what can you do if there's nothing much you can do to foresee the future? You can never obtain the answers. Just go with the flow. Take the chances offered to you in life or you might end up regretting. Life is unexpected. =) Never expect anything. Never put your hopes too high. Things come to you when you least expect them. And always pray and keep your faith high in difficult times. It helps.
7) Smile.
You don't own all the problems in the world.
Use your smile to change the world. Do not let the world changes your smile =) There are people who are facing more difficult times than you yet they are still fighting against them.
Smiling can actually make you feel happy. Smiling sends a message to the brain that you are happy as good edorphines are produced. With that, smiling can also help you to de-stress ;D Besides that, a simple smile can actually brighten someone's day. Smiling makes a person happy and it is contagious. Owh! and smiling actually makes you more attractive ;D That's the reason why people are asked to smile in pictures. People usually look best when they are happiest. So whenever you feel down, smile! =) there are better and happier things in life that are waiting for you. Show off that beautiful curve on your face~! Be happy!! =D
So I guess that's all for now.
I took such a long time writing this as I was trying to find for words.
[excuse my horrible English XD]
Till then! Bye and take care!

~Expectation~
Saturday, September 27, 2014
With each passing days..
You never fail to surprise me..
Greetings! Yes I am back.
I hope you are not annoyed by my appearance again =P
I've been postponing this post for a few days as I was so caught up with my event stuffs.
So right now, I think I am free haha xD
As the title says, I am gonna blog about it. [duhh Li Ean haha XD]
Hrmm.. All I want to say is, do not expect something too much.
Why? Because often expectation brings disappointment in the end.
I've been there. many times...
You put your hopes too high and when it does not happen, you get depressed.
You feel sad. You thought there were hopes.
So..I would like to emphasize...Never expect something to happen. Never expect that you will get something. I am not being pessimistic here..
But, to expect something to happen simply means you are 100% sure that it is going to happen.
But, what happens if it does not go your way?
What if your plans backfire you?
What if things get into your ways and you just can't achieve what you expect?
What if everything fails?
All in all, never expect for something to happen =) Just go with the flow.
You never know what's waiting for you. Do not expect too much...
And also...with little expectations, comes surprises =D
When you least expect things to happen, surprises come along the way =)
As you do not expect them to happen, they happen somehow..
I've been having too many surprises lately..
My 2nd year 2nd semester's results especially.
Seriously, before finals, I was in no hope in scoring in most of the subjects due to low coursework marks..
Besides that, I still remember that my Separation Process paper was the worst paper I've ever sat and answered in my life so far.
Why? Because I could only answer half of the paper. Maybe less than that. hahaha xD
And I even cursed at the paper =P Not because I was frustrated at myself for not studying.
It was because I've never seen such theories before. I never knew it was in our syllabus since that topic was not covered during lectures.
I was also upset too as I stayed up quite late studying for that subject.. And what I have been studying was not in finals. Some alien questions came out D=
Yea I was disappointed. And to be honest, I actually expected my grades to turn out horribly.
But, when the results came out, I was in the biggest shock of my life.
I did not expect such results. And I just woke up from my nap that time when I logged in to see my results. I thought I saw it wrongly or I was dreaming.
And it is definitely my first time obtaining such GPA. haha XD
I was over the moon!
Besides that, I also had another surprise. xD
I never see this coming..
Everything happened too quickly and right now, I am still in shock but in a good way ;D
Nah.. I don't wish to say anything for now as I don't wanna jinx it =)
But I just hope and pray it goes smoothly =D
Hrm that's all for now I guess? =D
I know I have a lot of updates to be done but my lazy mode has been turned on and I just can't find the button to turn it off haha xD
So I guess that's it for now.
Bye!! =D

~Beauty~
Sunday, September 21, 2014
So they like you, do you like you
You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up
You don’t have change a single thing.
Greetings, earthlings! :D
I am back to blogging!
Because I am bored. Mehh. XD
So.. back in STE, we were supposed to do a 5 minutes presentation.
Each of us had to come up with a title for the others to pick randomly to present.
And, I gave the title "Define beauty". and I was hoping for someone to loot that title.
Unfortunately, nobody did and I was the one who ended up with that title.
And I was also the last presenter. Mehh XD
Sooo... Today I feel like blogging about my presentation.
Since I didn't have the chance to present my full view that day as I had only 5 minutes to present and 3 minutes to prepare T_T
on a happier note, I was praised by my facilitator on my presentation XD
She was like "I wish I can be like you one day".
I was shocked as I think I did not present that well O.O Stuttering here and there. Hands were shaking.
And she liked my points and my choice of words. why thank you XD *self praising* :P
Anywayyyyy~ XD back to the topic..
I'd like to ask.
What comes into your mind when I mention the word "beauty"?
or rather, who comes into your mind when I mention that word?
and what makes you connect that word with whatever you thought of?=)
Hrm to me... when I think of beauty, I think of it as an internal matter.
Yes it's true. You can measure beauty from the external point of view.
You can call a girl pretty. You can call a guy handsome.
But, let's be honest. How long does external beauty last?
It fades with time. We grow old each second.
And soon enough, you will lose your youth and beauty you once had.
So to me. How I view beauty is from how you bring out yourself internally. =)
Learn to love yourself first. Feel good about yourself. Appreciate yourself. Respect yourself. Before people find the beauty in you.
Of course this applies to both guys and girls =P
And you've gotta instil all those positive attitudes in you.
Be religious. if you're not an atheist =P
Be kind to others. Don't be greedy. Appreciate what you have for today. and make the best of the things you have.
Be grateful. Be thankful.
Be honest to yourself. Don't lie. Don't run away from the truth.
Start to love yourself more. Tell yourself that you're here for a reason.
Accept your flaws. Work on them =) Or just make those flaws as something useful ;D sometimes flaws are what make you special. =)
And use your abilities and skills to work yourself to a better person.
All in all, respect yourself =)
Secondly, beauty develops from how you respect others.
Respect them as they come from different backgrounds. Different religions and races.
Each and everyone of us has different views on certain things.
Respect them. Accept their opinions as something constructive in the future if they contradict with yours currently.
Don't be judgemental. Everyone has their own stories.
The past shall be the past and shall not be judged for the present.
People make mistakes. Be matured =)
Listen to what they have to speak out.
Don't talk behind their backs. Only immature people do that. pfft.
If there's something you're dissatisfied about, confront them.
Don't tweet about it. Don't make it as a Facebook status =P
Come to an agreement. Come to a conclusion.
Do it the right way. Stop being a kid and running away from problems.
And from there, you gain respect from them.
And with this, people will view you differently and find the beauty in you =)
Hrm so I guess that's all for now. haha xD
all I have to say now is that, just be yourself =)
People will like you for who you are.
For those who don't, they don't worth a single second in your life.
Don't fake something you're not just because the society wants you to.
Be comfortable in your own skin.
Work on the mistakes you've done. Learn from them.
Make a better you for the future =D
Look forward. Don't dwell in the past.
The past is the past.
They are mistakes who make you a better person NOW =)
Life is a learning process. Learn from each day. Reflect from yesterday.
That's all for now . Haha. That's one lengthy post.
Till then.
Anyeong~~ =)

~Somebody's Heartbreak~
Monday, September 15, 2014
Hellow all! :D
First of all, I would like to apologise for disappearing for so long. Yes. It has been months. hahaha XD
Been so busy with studies, events and camp.
I just got back from a 6-days camp in Port Dickson and all I can say is that, it was the most awesome camp I've ever been ;D
So right now, I am on my four months break! woohoo! :D partayyyy~
I have no plans for this break. It's gonna be a random break it seems.
I have lots of updates to do.
But, now, I am just gonna do a quick and random post. Since I am suddenly inspired.
Mehh =P
Have you ever been in a situation where you try to avoid something so badly but you end up going back to the same thing?
No matter how much you try to push away that something, in the end, you find yourself attaching to that thing.
Your heart says something else but your brain objects it?
They contradict one another. And at one point, you just don't know which to follow.
Your conscience or your thoughts?
And they really put you in a very difficult situation.
You just don't know what's right and what's wrong.
And you just yearn for answers. But you know, you're in no power to do that.
So right now. I am following my conscience. Hrmm...
And I hope, this is the right choice.
I pray that this is the right one too. no regrets, I hope?
And whatever happens, I will just accept it open-heartedly.
I will work this out. I know I can.
Clear all the doubts.
Whatever fear I have I shall just spill them out. haha..
And I shall just, well. trust in me =)
I am aware that people will talk about it. Some might even disagree and all.
Some might give me the "are you serious?" look. haha.
People will somehow downgrade me I suppose?
But, I know what I want. I am choosing this for my own sake. for my own happiness.
I used to think what the society thinks about me is so important.
But, I was so wrong. [Wake up call from friends =P]
Society plays just a small part on my life. I should not take what the society thinks of me so literally. They don't control my life.
I control my own life. I choose my own path.
They don't know my story and what they know is just the surface.
They don't know the other half of my story.
People can be so judgemental. People can somehow bring your spirits down.
But I know. I should stand on my both feet. I should not be easily swayed by words from other people.
I know better than them.
Of course, my decision now shall bring consequences down the road.
I might break someone's heart.
I might lose all the privileges I used to have.
I might lose the attention. hahaha XD
But one thing my friend said to me is that.
You can lose all those.
But nothing can ever replace the journey you get after this.
That feeling covers beyond what you lose. And I know it's true :D
So....
that's all from me now =P
signing off till the next time~ =D
Cheers!
