不负责任

我知道这样不好,
也知道这样下去只有不妙。
现在要做的,
就是狠心离开这一个负能量极多的复杂关系。

除了失望还是失望。
疑惑中带点悲伤,
愤怒中带点迷茫。

只是,
幼稚的多断变化,
我追不上,也赶不及。
最主要的,
不值得我为这一个不重要的东西,
不相关的人物,
绞尽脑汁费心思。

除非这一个改变意外带来正面的变化,
要不,
可否请你们踏出我的世界。

不需要。
真的没这个必要,留下。

Being Independent


Independence is..
Depending on yourself.
Trusting your own ability, having faith in your own strength.

It is to take control.
Staying true to what you believe is best.

It is not the absence of fear.
Neither is it the equivalence of loneliness.
It is a liberation.
Freedom.

Independence.
Claim it. Own it. Live it.

When I Blog, You Read

Two blog posts weekly.
I promise myself.
I mean, I got to. Seriously.
I keep talking about it every year, and somehow I never truly got down to it.
*hangs head in shame*

But now, it's gonna be different. *fistpumpandlookintothedistance*
*Adds on super cute selca pic to seal it in*


On a side note, its superrr superrr cold these days!
Walking to work in the morning is plain torturous.
2 degree celsius! Brrrr..

As I am sure most Malaysians would know,
the one word that is trending right now is.. *drumrolls*
LISTEN. Listen Listen Listen Listen Listen LISTEN!
For those of you who watched the video,
I know assume that you feel the same kind of emotions that were stirred within me.

Annoyance, Anger, Shame, and most of all, Disappointment.
How is it possible that this happens at an institution of Higher Education?
What did she mean, specifically, when she talks about respect yet goes on to humiliate a young student in front of 2300 others?
While one may say that Bawani (the young student) was a little rude to start with,
this does not give that "Ms." Sharifah the right to do whatever she did.

Really? To interrupt and disallow the student to finish?
To move away her microphone and to demand that everyone listen?
Really? To say it in the poor girl's face that she has the "least of pendidikan"?!
Wtf?!
She has to learn basic respect I tell you!
And we're not even gonna talk about her speech and reply.
Animals? Like whaaaaaaaat?
We cannot compare Malaysia to other countries,
but we're supposed to compare ourselves to animals?
*deepbreaths*

What do we learn from this story?
Respect. Respect. Respect.
And this applies to both parties in the story.
Perhaps Sharifah felt disrespected, both as a lecturer and an "adult".
Perhaps that was why she kicked into the whole "I speak, you listen" frenzy.

As Asians, especially Chinese,
we hold on to our values of respecting the elders.
And as much as I agree with this virtuous practice,
I urge each and everyone of us to be able to discern between those who deserve respect, and those who need to learn what respect is before deserving it!
Simple rule, if you don't respect yourself, you sure as hell won't be expecting respect from anyone else.

I dedicate my first blog post of the year to you, Sharifah Johra Zabeen.
I sincerely hope you come to understand what the Malaysian society sees you as,
and to take this opportunity to learn what respect is.
And of course, to apologize, if you would.
Greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
From all Malaysians, and animals.

Happy New Year 2013

I've got so many things to blog about.
But as usual, words fail me when ideas exceed its normal capacity.
#bloggerproblems

In layman terms, so many things to say dunno how to say lah..
LOL

Usually at this point, I would resolve to editing pictures,
and to let them do the talking.
Unfortunately,
I've got so many pictures I dunno where to start :(

So.. I know you're thinking: So what now?
Wan blog or not?

Wantt.. But maybe I'll do a longer one tomorrow. Haha.

Short updates:
1. Back to work! Trying hard to be really enthusiastic.
2. New Year Resolutions still in the making, but the usuals: Live life to the fullest! Exceed my own expectations! Lalala~ Have you done yours?
3. Excited to be planning my summer break back in Malaysia! Should be 90% confirmed? :D

So anyway, know that it'll be a great year ahead! And it's up to us whether to make the best out of it.


Much Loves.

xoxo
