Impossible is nothing

A few more days and life as I know it will change. Life as WE know it will change.

Will it be for the better? Or for the worse?
Well, we will never know until we try. What we do know, however, is that things will never be the same again. Heh. Who wants to stay stagnant anyways? Maybe for some. But definitely not for us. 

So forward we march!

The path ahead will be filled with mighty challenges. Testing and pushing us to new limits. Forcing us to be creative to balance the yin and the yang in our lives. To maintain the sanity, yet bring fulfillment and satisfaction.

I am scared, yet excited at the same time.
I know you are too.

But as long as we have each other, the world is indeed our oyster.

Loving ourselves

Bitching about being unhappy.
Bitching about being unloved.
Bitching about Life's hard lessons.

Well, get this : Life is unfair. Get used to it.

I cannot sympathize if you don't believe in your own worth. I cannot sit and nod in agreement while you go on and on about unreciprocated love. 

My advice is simple, really.
How can you expect others to love you if you do not love yourself?

And then you wonder why the guys pick you up, had fun with you, and then discard you like a rag doll.
Seriously, grow up.  

Penang my home

There are many reasons I am so damn proud of this beautiful island I call home. 

This is one of them.

As I ride the train down the hill after a 2.5 hour hike, I am reminded that no matter which corners of the world I travel to, the light at the end of my tunnel will always lead me back home.

 

And home, is where I belong.
Penang, I love you.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia

"I didn't know you are so patriotic" - a friend quipped.
Another sarcastically commented that my beloved country is not paying for my livelihood today.

I won't claim to be a patriot but no matter how far I have traveled and moved on to, a part of me will always be rooted in my homeland. I am who I am today because of my roots. So, on this day, I am proud to shout out to the world : "Merdeka!"

Not forgetting my all-time favourite Independence Day song. It is blared from speakers across the nation on this day every year, without fail.


Go here to listen to the YouTube and sing along.

Love you loads, my beloved Malaysia.

Restlessness + Tiredness

 Mind running at 100 mph but body wants to stop.

When the bombshell was dropped late last week, that's how I have been functioning since then. Wanting to do a million things all at once. Thanks to experience, I now have a tiny voice at the back of my head that goes "Stay focused. One task at a time. Filter out the noises. Keep goal in mind."

Fruit, as much as I dislike you, I guess we are in this together.

Couple more weeks and the roller coaster ride begins.

Divine Intervention

Just when we thought we've come to the end of the rope.
Just when we're fighting so hard to keep it all together.
Just when we believed that we're truly trialled.

The pieces just fit together, somehow.
Our smiles reaching the corners of our hearts.
Your excitement tickling me inside.

And as temporal as we may be,
we do believe that something has fallen into place.
And finally.
We see the light.

Because we never stopped believing.
Because we soldiered on relentless.
But most of all, because we deserve it.

You and I.
We definitely deserve to be happy.
Together.

What doesn't kill, strengthens

Instead of worrying too much about how I am able to carry the added responsibility placed on my already-tired shoulders, I guess I should be thankful to be presented with the opportunity to go further than most folks are allowed to venture.

So, thank you to a dear someone who sent me this today.

The fun part starts after 0.52 secs.

So stronger we will grow! :D
