Peer Pressure

Peer pressure,
it could happen either way,
directly, indirectly or maybe both.

Peer pressure,
it brings either the best or the worst of you.

Motivation, encouragement, and support,
everything you need,
just when you think that your family doesn't care.

However peer pressure,
it pushes you to spend the money you think you have,
it tricks you into enjoying things you thought you would,
it subconsciously helps you in making a decision,
it strays you from your own path.

When all is gone,
when you're all alone,
are you everything you've wanted to be?
or you're just another clone of someone?


Live life with no second thoughts,
be happy, be sad, be confused,
there's no right and wrong for it.

Easier said then done.

I'm writing this

Every time your bullshit came,
a smirk appears.

Respect, trust and love
have you taste the feeling of being real?

All those attention showered
you have your fame to thank that for.

Friends and lovers,
none stayed; either replaced or left.

You were once an xo
but now all I see is just an asshole.



No names were mentioned in this post, so don't read too much into it.

I hate being ticked off like that. Back to work tomorrow, Jakarta's been fun and during that trip I came to realise I actually love my job more than I thought of.

Will update more soon.

I'M SORRY

It hurts you as much as it would hurt me to say
i just need a little support right here.

It may seem that
i never needed any help
but the truth is,
i do.

I fight for what i want,
that's because i understand
i can only ask for what i need.

Sometimes
i just feel like i'm not being taken seriously.

With all the decisions made,
have i not proven myself.

I do doubt my decisions sometimes
but i can't afford to do so all the time.

Only time
can prove that what i've done
is worthwhile.

So all i need is some support here,
thank you.

Toughest Job In The World

Toughest job in the world? Being a parent. Yes, I just said that the previous post would be my last post till my finals end, well I felt the need to write this after watching the YouTube video below.

And, I did cry.

Being a parent is an ever learning job, they can't just quit saying it's tough or complain that it's not something they expect it to be. Every decision they make, influences their kid's act; every word they say, affects their child's behavior.

Who says earning a decent income to support a child's diapers expenses and tuition fees is the best proof that you're ready to be a parent. I say, they need mentally ready as well.

When I was on my flight back to Malaysia last weekend, I met this man from Canada who now resides in Malaysia. He was reading this article about critical thinking. Being curious, I asked if I could borrow the article from him after he finished reading it. He asked me, if critical thinking actually helped me to look from different angles when I make a decision or when I tackle a problem. He took all the trouble to google, finding articles and books on critical thinking, all because he wanted to see if there's ways to help his kids. It's not like his kids can't take care of themselves, they're both much older than me and are doing well academically apparently. He was worried because both of his sons just can't seem to look at things from a different angle and always insists on their opinions being right.

Frankly, I never thought that such problem actually could concerned a parent. Guess I kind of underestimated the job as a parent.

Trust me, your parents actually worry about your everything even until the day you get married. No matter what, you'll always be a kid to them. Don't ever complain about this fact, knowing you have parents who still cares, makes you luckier than so many of those who've lost their parents and are actually hunger for such love.

Family, the ones who accept you for you are, never ever doubt that. They will be there whenever you need them. In today's society, when you have everyone turning you against their back, you know you always have your family to back you up no matter what.

Being away from home, makes me appreciate my family even more. My dad has been a great dad to me, I was treated as an adult ever since I got into college. Mom, even better, cooks whatever I want whenever I'm home. Brother, let's just say, he doesn't complain that much anymore when I hug him. :)

So I'm dedicating this post to my parents. Thank you for letting me make my stupid choices and learning from my mistakes and also constantly 'looking after' me on Facebook and Twitter.

Hey, aren't you guys just glad this post is not about food and for a change, your tummy's not grumbling after reading my blog at this hour? :D but I bet, I just made those who're studying overseas more homesick than ever. Skype them just to say hi, that'll make their day, just like how we, youngsters feel when we have a chance to talk to the person we like. :)

You can eat whatever you want, just put it on my tab. - My dad ♥

Let's Pray for Japan

This is why I say social media plays a really important role in my life. If it wasn't for it, I bet I was still living in my own cocoon, not knowing what's happening around the world.

Let's pray for Japan,
for most people have lost their lives and love ones.

My friend suffered the trembles of the earthquake for nearly half an hour in Tokyo. Fortunately, he's safe and sound.

An 8.9-magnitude earthquake triggered the tsunami,
few hundreds of bodies were already found in the coastal city of Sendai.

I feel grateful that I'm still here, also knowing that all the people I care are safe in where they are right now. I just retweeted one of the tweets, mentioning one of the passenger train with unknown number of people aboard is missing.

Earthquake and tsunami,
what's next?
Tornado?

Indonesia and Hawaii were just reported being hit by the tsunami. I'm praying hard that my family will be safe in where they are right now, as apparently Sabah and the Johor will be slightly affected too.

Let's pray for Japan,
for it's time for all nations to be together
and share each other's loss and sorrows.

Treasure what you have and always be grateful.

dissapointed

I'm dissapointed.

It was sealed for a reason
that I would like to keep it to myself.

I'm already limited to the things
I'm able, could, and want to write here.

Is the little memory kept
meant to be tore too?

This time,
the line has been crossed.

THIS IS JUST AN EFF-ed UP SITUATION.

shut down; live in my own world.

every kid has this moment with their parents,

the WHADDAYA WANT FROM ME - Adam Lambert moment.

I really believe that it could have been better
but giving up was the chosen option
and so I had no choice but to let go.

It was pain at first
but then again
if I didn't felt so
it wouldn't be right.

I lost touch of who i was before i met you
'cause every single bits of my daily life now
has this tiny weeny of you in it.

I pulled myself through by
listening to new songs
doing the things i like
watching the movie i love.

All these were done
with hope that i won't miss you.

Ironically
i love the movie you love
like the things you do
just the songs
saved me a little from despair.

I promised myself
never to believe in promises again
yet
i was dumb enough to fool myself this time.

Don't want to look back

I now try to discover a better me

live a brand new life on my own.

I've stop whining

start to rely on those who'll always be there for me

my family and friends.

So

holding on to them

is the one and only task

i shall undertake from now onwards.

one of the most wonderful memories that's slowly fading. :)

So-called

Move on lady, to somewhere you call high class. That's because I'm not worth your attention.

You're such a pain
I don't need you in my life
my friendlist
or on my msn

Calling people with mean names
doesn't make you better either

So you have the same Havaianas slippers as I do
that means we have the same taste
but why do I feel that we don't see things the same way

Yes
you are rich
I'm aware of that
but why am I not kissing your ass
like what you said I would do to every rich kids

You bombard me
spread fake rumours
in the public
on my personal blog

did i
ever mention your name out loud

did i
ever flame your FB wall

yet you still have the guts
to like my status
like my blog link

thumbs up for that lady
if you want a round of applause
i can get it for you too

i don't need a two-faced friend
i don't need your calls
or your fake concerns
on how my life is recently

you wanted my reply
here it is
AGAIN

when you have it
you ignore
please stop this childish act

play this game nicely
use your given name
leave your e-mail
your blog link
not by calling youself
whatever, john, cina apek, no name

you have no idea
by flaming my cbox
you're not only hurting me
but also my parents

let's face it
there's no U-turn in this anymore
don't say hi to me
as though there's nothing between us

i have harsher things to say

but i choose not to

that's because i'm not you

Sincerely,

TSA

breakfast

Koko crunch, great way to start off my day.

when I bullshit too much

I don't mean to seek attention

nor do I want to boast

it's just something I do when I'm having fun

I know what I want

I'm clear of my goals

and I definitely know how to achieve it

when I say I can't do this and that

I don't mean it

I just want encouragement

or maybe a piece of advice

not some demoralising lectures

I have confidence in myself

but not enough to call it over-confident

that's because I know when to stop dreaming

Going Hong Kong is something which I live for right now

I'm not going to give it up just because I'm not ready for my trials

things I do now

are not because of you anymore

it's for myself

my future

I take charge of my life really well

that's because

just in case you did not notice

I've grown up

Thank you pa and ma

caramel machiatto better help later. ♥

Friends

You hold on to your ugly past too tight
and forgot how pretty things are right now

Nothing in this world stops because of you
therefore you just have to move on

Fake friends
should you give a second glance at them
i think there's something better to do than that

Hatred kills the best inside you
why not spare it
and love someone elso who's more worth it

What's done is done
pointing fingers everywhere does everyone harm

There's a thing called forgive
if you can't
you have no one to blame but yourself

I might be wrong
but were you right all the time

If it's a war you want
i'll have to apologise
because i won't be giving you one

The best would be
us being strangers
as though we've never met before
