Got into a car accident last Wednesday;

Neither party were reckless, neither got hurt;
a police report was made, neither of us were charged for that incident.
Hence, neither party was able to claim insurance from each other.

She felt that the police’s decision was unfair and threatened to bring the case to court.
I thought that bringing the case to court was not necessary; it would drag the whole matter longer than it already has.
I decided to be the bigger person and promised to compensate part of the damages caused unto that persons’ car.

How the accident happened should not matter.
How much will I be paying for those damages should not matter.
Why am i taking responsibility for those damages should not matter.

What matters most is that i’m still alive.
What is a newly emptied bank account compared to a priceless lesson learned?
In this, i’ve learned to placed my trust in Him regardless of the circumstances i’m in;
Also, i know that i’m able to look beyond my own needs and show love to an enemy.

I have not told my parents about this, neither have i told most of my peers;
I’ve become an introverted melancholy the past week; realizing that I should not affect my peers in their studies or let my parents worry; Besides, not telling everyone about everything i go through everyday have been accompanied by less jugdements, less discouragements, less opinions and more peace.

sometimes, i doubt myself and the compromises i’ve made in order to become a better person.

i wonder how someone like me, as hopeless a child can be; someone who was comfortable with having no goals in life and chose to have no room to love is Now in search of true love and acceptance as well as pursuing a purpose driven life.

Even now, i wish things hadn’t change.
after being valued and accepted for who i am and who i was going to be,
it hurts now, to recognize the lack of those things which i treasure dearly; especially when i need it most.

 

I’m glad to say that i’ve finally finish watching all the 15Malaysia short films.

Spent my entire Saturday at One Utama to catch the 15Malaysia screening and Youth For Change concert.

If i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn’t lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn’t matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don’t care about the young folks
talkin’ ’bout the young style
and we don’t care about the old folks
talkin’ ’bout the old style too
and we don’t care about their own faults
talkin’ ’bout our own style
all we care ’bout is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there’s something goin’ on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving i’m still with you

it doesn’t matter what we do
where we are going too
we can stick around and see this night through

With Anna @ MonashMusicFest

Bumped into Anna in City Harvest Church last weekend;

She’s been MIA from Monash for almost a year now.

And like many of my peeps who have asked me this semester; I asked her “what she’s been up to”.

Apparently she has taken a break from studying and started going into sales, insurance specifically.

I asked her why… (because i sure as hell did not take this break-by choice)

Her answer, “Because i wasn’t sure whether studying was for me“.

I GREW UP BELIEVING THAT TOO!

I didn’t know you could actually not study and opt for a career immediately?!
Well, i knew lah … but my parents would flip! Her honest answer made me reflect on my own purpose of being in the university, studying for a degree which I may have never agreed to.

On one hand, I wish i could be bolder; knowing what i want in life and stop whatever i’m doing, putting comfort and convenience aside and started pursuing my dreams of being an entrepreneur.

On the other, The 3 years i’ve spent in Monash has been filled with tons of breakthroughs and victories which has shaped me the person i am today. University life can’t be just about studies no? I will not trade the experience and friendship i’ve gained here for anything in the world.

Took a group picture with my classmates and trainer last week.

Training-Classmates

Today, i suddenly felt as though i was back in my secondary school class. My classmates acknowledged one another, we laughed together, some started teasing one another, we even started pulling pranks on the new trainer. Yes, one Malaysia- United we stand. I must admit, i’m starting to enjoy the classes and activities.

For readers who still have doubts, this is going to be as honest as it gets.
This ‘Training’ is fully sponsored by our country’s Ministry of Human Resource to help retrenched workers and fresh graduates to learn new skills; specifically Sales in the banking industry.
The program structure began with ‘product training‘ including Hire Purchase, Deposits, Bank Assurance, Housing Loans and Unit trust.
Into week 3 now, we are trained on our presentation skills. After this, it’d be sales skills and lastly self mastery.

After 6 weeks of training, we will be given the opportunity to be interviewed by banks such as MayBank, CIMB Bank as well as Public Bank to be in their sales team.

In a nutshell, that’s what i have been ‘up to’;
can’t say that i fancy sharing this over and over again. Quit Asking! so yea, you get the hint.

 

Squeeze on it, and make lemonade.

make the best out of your circumstances when life becomes sour.

when life gives you lemon...

easier said then done, damn lemons.

die lemon, die.

 

Finally got to try the famous ss19 Hokkien Pan Mee;

Rachel ordered soup, I ordered dry.

Here are the pictures;

it was good. really really good.

I plan to go solo, but if anyone is interested to come along, i don’t mind the company.

Apart from the live music, it’d be a great opportunity to watch the 15 Malaysia short films.

I guess i’ll see you there?
