I am not the brightest bulb in this world nor do I have unparalleled knowledge and wisdom towards everything in life.
But if I could everyone with a problem one simple advice, it would be to always think long term in every aspect of life.

How you manage your money.

Your family and friends.

Your relationship.

The fundamental of this simple advice is the concept of whether it will be an issue 10 years down the road.
Always remember, given any situation, there’s always a way out. Think long term.
Short-term thrills, happiness < Long-term happiness.
Will this matter 10 years down the road?
If it doesn't matter, stop worrying. It's that simple.
Let go of the past and the past will let go of you.
Take two steps back if you have to, take a bigger look at the picture. Figure things out and maybe you could move three steps forward and that's a win right?

Filter out your thoughts. Build or train your self defense mechanism to automatically, simultaneously filter, cancel out, destroy, nib and wipe our any unnecessary negative thought. Build your very own contingent of mind defenders.

Amongst many other advice I keep and I can give in this little nut shell of mine is;
What is easy is never worth it.
What is worth it will not be easy.
Everything has it's price.
Stop worrying. It doesn't subtract to the situation. It adds unnecessary stress. Chill and relax.
Believe that you and I are part of a bigger picture, a divine plan. Part of the universe. Everything will workout eventually. Life has a funny way of working out. Correcting itself through it's various twist and turns in life. So stop worrying.

And if all else fails, and nothing works out, come to me. Tell me your problems. I would love to shoulder your load and perhaps i could formulate you my very own solution. I always have this touch with me. And if all else fails again. Don't worry too. I could always punch your problem in it's/their face and make it our problem. So no worries. I'm always here, my dear friends.

I don’t always blog about my life but I think this one’s worth the write. So I had Chalet just a few days ago from the 1st of April to the 3rd with my Secondary School friends. It’s been awhile since I last saw ‘everyone.’ I had a great time just being there, catching up, getting up to speed with everyone’s life.
Late night talks, beach walk, a stroll in the park, sitting by the sea, stargaze, sitting inside the bedroom talking shits (as in random chats), sitting at the common area playing pokers round the night and booze (I swear I didn’t touch any booze that day, seriously.). What could get any better?

You know… listening to everyone’s story, problems and etc. I now feel like mine is so trivial compared to everyone’s. I somehow wish I could be a problem solver so people could come to me with their problems and I’ll generate them a solution, a perfect solution. But then I realize I have a handful of my own. You know, the thing is, it’s so easy to give others advice but when it comes to you, it’s as though your hands are tied and you can’t do anything about it. Maybe that’s the thing. We need someone other than ourselves, someone who can see the bigger picture and give us the best advice they could give. I want unparalleled knowledge and wisdom for people to come to me with their problems so I can solve them. I want to know everything and anything but I know that’s impossible.

Just thought I share some FnF stuffs, I caught it yesterday and it was so dam good as always and I found the tribute so fitting for this post.
I just love the series so much. It’s the only franchise that hits home. No other movie has ever come close to this. It teaches you the core value of friend or should I say family. “I don’t have friends, I have family.” – Dom
The tribute is just so saddening, it has almost been a year and a half since the passing of paul walker. He will be missed 😦 #InLovingMemory #ForPaul

A group shot on the first day (not everyone is here though, some was late, some came on the 2nd day etc etc):

Ming playing his guitar:

Wish I captured more photos but then I was caught in the moment. Wen Rong played his guitar so dam well. The way his fingers moved and strum the chords rhythmically was amazingly fascinating.

People don’t understand.
If hearing the phrase “I love you” would ever suffice, why don’t we just buy a parrot instead?
Words mean nothing without actions; is it not? They are empty without action. Anyone can say I love you to anyone. But not everyone can prove it to be true.
Many are just desperate to find a companion, to feel less lone.

Some says the word too often but do too little to show.
Others never utter the word, but shows you in so many ways.

If you’re given a choice, would you content yourself with hearing the phrase I love you everyday or the latter, someone who’s afraid to utter the word but will show you in so many ways.

I know this is random but I have had a lot of realization these days. It comes when you watch the sea, read the night sky or have deep talks with people about life and everything under it’s hood. I’ll write another secrets when I find the time is right to. What I hold so closely to me is dear. It’s never easy for anyone to spill things out and I think that’s just how everyone is. If you really wanna get to know someone. Their deepest pain, their sorrow, what they bury deep inside the ocean of their heart, you have to smash their walls even if it will hurt both.

Love

Maybe that’s what love is,
To get overwhelmed.
To lose control.
To be head over heels over someone.
To be with someone you love in a crowded train, completely mesmerized by the amazing person beside you. Unaware of your surrounding and those around you.
Maybe that’s what love is,
Two people,
Completely lost and fascinated in each other’s world together.

When it’s the right person, you will know. You will just know. Your gut would tell you, “She’s the one!” And when that time comes, don’t hold back. Go at it with full force. Steady fast. Fight for it and fight hard. If it’s worth it, it wouldn’t be easy. If it’s easy, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of time. There’s so many mediocre things in life and love shouldn’t be one of them.”

One true happy

Destiny and fate,
Always hard at work.
When two soul is destined for each other,
Fate would draw them close.
Pull them together.
Tie the ends yourself,
They call.
For they will never do more than they’re required.
Your happiness,
Has always been in your own hands.

“When the time comes for two souls to meet,
The universe will conspire to help you. There’s nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting, no matter where each may be located.”

Infinity

Destiny calls,
And fate draws.
A battlecry so loud.
For they shall go,
On a war for eternity tonight.

(I know I’m just clutching at straws here, really have no idea what I’m trying to convey… It just came to me)

Moon Child

The moon speaks to me in such dissonance,
Disagreeing with my very existence on earth tonight.
It shines brighten than any beacon,
Calling me to come home tonight.

Still in the works

First and foremost I am still working on this post. Its not exactly completed. Anyway this post is of my own opinion and encompasses life and everything under the sun. 

Love, a question that looms in my head everyday.
What is a relationship? Love and relationship, the two words that always seems to go together. Are they the same thing?
You can be in love and be in a relationship but you can be in love and not be in a relationship. Likewise, you can be in a relationship but not be in love.
There’s a huge difference, with being in a relationship because of love and being in a relationship just to feel less lone. And I think the latter is terrible. Everyone wants someone that’s one cliche that’s true. Nobody likes to be alone and when presented with the opportunity, they would jump at it. We often think being alone is easy, you just have to be alone right? Wrong. As I found out, being alone is one of the hardest thing you can do. It’s so easy you know? To just be out and about with someone, with friends and all but when the day ends and you get home, loneliness creeps in to all of us as if it has been watching us the whole day, waiting for it’s chance strike and creep in. Maybe even in a crowd full of friends, loneliness can find it’s way in. Because maybe that’s just how things is… Or maybe the company wrong… I don’t know. It’s been so long since I last felt “not-lonely.” I’ve been spending a lot of time alone, though I usually meet someone at night for dinner and etc. I believe I am training myself. There’s this quote that says, unless you are comfortable with being alone, you never really know if you’re choosing someone because of Love of loneliness. Actually, I have always been quite comfortable with being alone. I do enjoy other’s company but when it comes to being alone, I have this freedom of doing whatever I want.

“There are many kind of love in this world but never the same love twice.” Every love story is different… (To be continued)

Relationship,
I think relationship is like a shared bank account you have with the ones you love. Good times are like deposits to your “relationship bank account” while bad times are like withdraws. The good times are deposits which acts as a buffer against the bad times, withdrawals. Like any normal bank accounts, the ideal is to always stay positive, have positive balance, if not to be prosperous. Like in life there is going to be rainy days where you might withdraw, and the account might eventually run into a negative balance, an overdraft. It’s normal for this to happen occasionally when we hit rock bottom in life but if an account is in constant overdraft, then we need to deposit to the account to salvage it. Likewise, in the relationship bank account, the owners, the one’s in the relationship could take a good look at the account and come up with a plan to salvage said account but sometimes the only course of action seems to fold the account/ to declare bankruptcy. Perhaps it’s in too much debt.
I know it’s an insensitive analogy… You know… To use something related to money to describe a relationship but I think it somehow makes sense right? I haven’t been in an actual relationship before so…

Sadness,
Sadness is like a friend. That non-existing imaginary friend. The one friend that calls you at night, whenever he/she is bored. This friend in particular pester you by calling you repeatedly if you don’t answer. It’s that one friend that will constantly demand your attention especially at night. We have several choices to deal with this friend. First we can ignore said friend but then there’s the aspect of it constantly demanding your attention, keeping you up at night. Or we can just get over and done with by answering his/her call and hearing what he/she have to say and getting affected by it. It’s like a bedtime friend you know… When you have been sad for awhile, or too long, you two become best friend. It’s a weird relation. An addiction to sadness I seemed to have.

Happiness,
To me happiness is that energy people radiate when they’re, well, happy. It’s that moment when you’re happy but you don’t necessarily know you are. When you jump in joy… (TBC)

Friends,
One of the most invaluable connection I share with people.
Naturally I don’t have the luxury of having a lot of friends but then again why would you need so many friends? It’s so hard to keep up with everyone. To get up to speed with everyone’s life. I always value quality over quantity… That said, I don’t naturally have a lot of friends. So I cherish the ones I have and they are amazing friends. I have friends who can see through me as if he could read through the window of my eyes though I always say I’m fine. I have friends who care enough to help me; To go out of their ways even if you didn’t ask them to. It’s just like love. Everyone Love story needs a little help. Friends who helped you fight for your happiness because they knew it means that much to you as it is to them. Even if it’s fruitless.
Friends who are true to you, they don’t sugar coat everything. They tell you what you need to hear. Not what you want to hear and I am blessed to have them.

People,
I am a sucker for kindness, good people, nice gesture… (TBC)

This post is really just me tossing some ideas on various topics of life like love, sadness, happiness, loneliness. I will find time to finish this okay!? 🙂 That’s a promise!! Stay tuned!

My heart is blind.
She dances to your silent tune.
Oh me oh my,
You’re so lovely.
Come here,
You beautiful soul,
Wont you take my hand and dance with me tonight?
