这句谚语，
再也适合不过了。
本来还以为这儿没什么新年气氛，
自然就会不想念，
但该死的科技，
该死的面子书，
把新年该有的表现得天衣无缝。
我，又想家了。
我想要过年，
我想要穿新衣吃团圆饭，
想拜年想要红包。
我想回家。 T.T
第一次离乡背井过新年，
少了家人，少了热闹，少了红包；
多了独立，多了想念，多了珍惜。
但情况真的比想象中理想，
没有哭哭啼啼，
没有哭闹喧哗。
意识着蛇年一个好的开始！
蛇年，我要：
心想事成
万事如意
身体健康
学业猛进
财源滚滚
...应该不会太贪心吧？

And so the work begins..
Done with week 1 and 2 of the semester!
Its at this point when you are faced with the dilemma of whether to be sad or happy.
As for me..
I am apprehensive and anxious and excited.
This semester is definitely interesting, with 5 classes to ace, a thesis to start, being a teaching assistant and a part-time job to answer to.
I love my life.
No sarcasm. I'm serious.
I love being busy, I thrive under stressful situations.
All I need now is a larger dose of positivity.
Faith that I will be able to excel in all aspects amidst all these busy-ness.
The readings are Ker Ray Zay!
If you remember mecomplaining commenting about the readings last semester,
those are nothing compared to what I have now.
But interestingly enough, I think I'm starting to actually enjoy these readings.
No, wait, let me rephrase.
I enjoy SOME of these readings.
Yea, that's more like it.
Anyway.
Today I came across one of the most demotivating incident.
And I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I bounced back.
Well, not perfectly but at least I took a big step out of the sinking sand of self-pity.
Hwaiting!
One of the biggest motivator is the fact that I'll be home in less than four months!
Say Yay!
Random Photo-Talk
Ok back to readings.
February's gonna be a good month!
HAVE FAITH! STAY STRONG!

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 onsuper 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,
Iknow 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.
