Upbringing Matters



Don’t ever have children if you do not have the confidence to provide them with a healthy and loving environment to grow up in. Kids who grew up in a family which lacks sufficient love and care generally turn out in two extremes: Either that they are:

1) Determined to improve their condition with positive attitudes such as strong-willed and persistent in studies and career, thrifty in spending, high EQ with patience, and have identified clearly what kind of future they desired for and work hard towards achieving it, OR

2) Developed personality issues such as lack of sense of security, over protected towards oneself thus will not trust others easily, impatient, unable to “process” negative emotions such as anger efficiently, behave to others in an offensive manner, etc.

Of course they don’t necessarily be either one of type 1 or type 2. There’s a scale and their personalities can be anywhere along the scale, depending on whether the positive side dominates their characteristics or the negative side does.

However, there’s always a risk the latter may happen. Thus, do yourself and the rest of the world a favour: Don’t raise a kid if you and your other half are not ready to have one. Else, you’re just raising another defective individual to add to the already degenerating society.

*above is just my humble opinion. No offence intended.*

Thoughts #1

I enjoy reading about the story of others, interesting or adventurous ones.

Inspiration is what I’m looking for, to fill up the spiritual hollowness in my ordinary life. The more that I hear and see each day, the more firmly is my belief. Life is a journey, and the world being so vast, there are so many things for us to explore and discover. A lifetime simply isn’t enough. There are numerous people (me included) who live their lives day after day, without taking much of a deviation from their routine. Due to concerns such as financial constraint, family, work etc, humans mostly are unable or unwilling to leave the “comfort zone” they have settled in.

Being not all that sporting and outgoing, I too, am someone who has the tendency to stay in a familiar environment, in the usual position. However, this is not the kind of life I have in mind, at least not for my next fifteen years or so. I want something more than comfort and ordinary occasionally. I want to witness what this world has got to offer. Reading up till here, surely you may think here is another wacko dreaming about something ambitious yet almost impossible to be achieved, like travelling the world or earning my first million dollars before the age of thirty. Nope.


I have a wish. It may be simple or even immaterial to some, but it is something that I intend to do. I want to go backpack travelling with two or three friends overseas. I’ll start with somewhere not too far, perhaps Taiwan. (Interested ky? =D) It’s not about the country that I go to, but the things that I can learn and the memories I can accumulate. This will be my first step towards a greater aspiration. Every step will make a difference.

A sweet tale of a lad & a lass

Once upon a time in SMK Bukit Indah...



When we were rather young...and silly...



And surprisingly not that...attractive,yet...



In the heart of Ampang...


We've been through good times...



And bad times...



Studied together and still thriving through our lives...



Food,movies,shopping...



Exchanging gifts...



Sharing our problems...



Mockery...



Are all the vital elements that sustained our relationship...



We might do things in our own thoughts...



But Differences are embraced...



Countless reasons to celebrate... when im with you



Parting poignantly explores our inner strength & bond...may it be due to fate



Or Due to destiny...



Though i may be thousand miles away...



For i will always be close to your heart...

My last of everything


Travelling back to Ipoh made me realised that little do i have time to play and have fun.No more hanging out in Pavilion.No more aimless stares during the mornings.No more procrastinating for completing whatsoever dumb essays.No more clubbing.No more endless talks on the phone with friends.No more whining about how bored i am.Its exactly two weeks away from my departure.
I tried to make the best out of my recent CNY trip.My relatives,to be in particular,my cousins,whom i grew up with ,literally came up to me and gave me some advices.To make things more utterly awkward,they gave me additional ang pau-es,with greetings like 'all the best in ur future', 'best of luck in ur undertakings', 'gambateh'.It was rather an overwhelming scene. And no,there are no streams of tears.Its a chain reaction.I saw them all taking off from adolescence,to be conferred with degrees in their major of studies,get married and migrating,and now having kids.To them,i resemble their cycles,another phase they had already gone through and yet for me to step in.
Money notes were handed to me,enveloped by red wraps,so called ang pau-es; speaks no more than a medium,merely to spend on things so as to enjoy gratifying luxuries.Candies,clothes,maybe mobile phones too.Perceived as a ticket to spend as I please.An additional income which need not require much persuasion and perspiration from the elders.Yes,these WERE my primary thoughts of what ang-pau really means when i was younger.This year,i've learnt there is more to it.The past which captured the joy of being rewarded with money during this special day,even the relatively recent past,in my mind,is enshrouded by mist and is vaguely perceived.Now,the red packet symbolizes good luck ( at least,in my case it does).It is as if im not coming back for the future CNY celebrations anymore.
With reference to the quantity they gave,its hard to look over the fact that im going overseas to study is a petty issue.Thanks to them,i know its even a BIGGER DEAL.Judging from our age gap,i was moved by my cousins' action.We were civil to each other,but were never too close.We teased each other,talked and laughed together but were not that much of the type of friends that bother to drop a birthday message when we dont see each other during other time than this month.However,ours was just not a tie of blood ALONE.
Their concern surpassed my doubts.The doubts of them just merely acting out their roles as my elder cousins. Despite coercion,i was able to feel their sincerities.
Im always seeking refuge in my own world during the previous CNYs,keeping myself occupied with my own things,paralysed by my own induced fear but this recent CNY taught me that love from my family knows no boundary.
