Adult Transmutation

I'm officially turning 21 in a few months times later and i guess today I'll share about some stories about stepping on adult-to-be life. My mum has once said our viewpoint and mentality will be changing a lot every year. I agreed and aspect gradual changes, but surprisingly changes happened in just a short amount of time and more than what i've aspect. 

In general, we've been taught clearly what's right or wrong during the earlier stage. So, black and white are pretty clear in the world we exist. But as you grow older, "the grey" begin to enter. You'll be facing a lot of situation where there is no right or wrong. All sort of "grey zone" problem are the most  annoying one because either one will lead you to a totally different path and yet there is no absolute in any of the options. 

Also, i've often heard people said its harder to get a relationship as you grow older. From what i've observed, i guess one of the reason is because as we grow older, we are getting to know ourself better at the same time. Not necessary referring to higher demand, but the more we know what exactly suitable for us, it creates more obstacle at the same time.

Imagine people as a semicircular. While we're young, we're semicircular with smoother surface which we can easily find the other half as long as it achieve certain conditions. But as we grow older, problems and life we're dealing with everyday tends to creates a rough surface. The rough surface isn't indicating negative stuff, but a clearer vision about what suit us the best in the long run. Hence, this is where people find it challenging to match with the other semicircular to form a perfect circle. 

Everyone wish to stay young forever but growing elder is something we can't avoid. Even if you do intend to avoid doing things or acting like an adult, some responsibilities will come to you naturally and you'll have to learn to bear the burden. Well, if you're fortune enough, you can avoid facing that later but i'm pretty sure thats not gonna be forever. 

Anyway, it isn't all bad growing as an adult. You will be offering more chances to take in charge of your own life. When we're younger, we used to think the schools is rights, our parent is rights but in truth, you don't live for them, you live for who you are. So, do not be afraid thou its not a easy journey ahead. Embrace yourself, stay focus, and becoming a better person than who you are yesterday. Do whatever makes you happy and getaway from all the negative stuff and people. Everything will eventually falling in to the right place. 

I hope it does inspire you a little. 

Good Luck everyone! 

Dream Vs Real life : The Office.

I've always envy some of my friends who can do internships or temporary job that related to the field they studied. Reason is i never ever have a break thats long enough to do so, cause all we have are short sem break. But things has got real now, i finally got what i want - working in an office. Sounds lame but.. yea.. Of course, it doesn't turn out as fancy as i imagine but i guess its still satisfactory. 

The office environment is not that pretty as we always saw in the movie. "I'll try to put in more imagination to beautify the actual look" But everything else are doing fine especially the people. I've always read blogs saying that people they've met in the office are so friend while doing internships and i never believe that its gonna be 100% true because sometimes its just hard to avoid haters in life. But it turns out people there are really nice. What could you ask for more than working with a bunch of affectionate colleague?

Anyway, its just my first day so.. i might happened to be too enthusiastic but i'm definately looking forward to join this company in the following months. I believe things will only getting more and more interesting because everyday there will be different scenario thou tasks are probably gonna be more or less the same. I guess. 

Lots of my friend might probably wondering where I've been, so yea this is what I've been up to lately. Honestly, feel so good to have something to focus in life again. The previous sem are so stressful that both my body and mind are used to being hasty, and guilt are doubled when things go slow and slack. 

Too lazy to find one that's close to what i've always thought of but if your office environment happene to be like this, you should appreciate. I'm not complaining about mine, its just out of what i've expect. Just to clarified. 

Time for bed. Just bear in mind that each job will have things for you to learn.

Good Luck! 

Tragedies

Haven't been update my blog as i promised due to i were busy with interview in the past week, and just to keep my blog more organised i always wanted to post the previous post part 2 first before other matters that i would love to share. But things that happened in the past few days, my emotion was irrepressible.

Since the tragedy happened, instead of watching any Korean drama or movies, i kept looking at several news site for any new updates of the South Korea ferry accident. I didn't cry for any drama lately as i was easily to get touched before, but watching all these news are truly heartbroken and i just couldn't control my emotion even though non of my family or friends are involved. 

One of the reason that its so depressing is due to most of the passengers on board are high school students. I can't imagine how much pain their family are bearing and i couldn't imagine how much people that has forced to be involved in this tragedy. The first moment i read the news, besides hoping everyone could be safe, i also wish for no more people should be sacrifice in this case. But just a day later, the school vice principle has commit suicide. 

I might react a little over emotional towards all this news but honestly, try to think about what would you do if you're the vice principle. Family members are all blaming over him and of course the tremendous guilty of himself seems like placing him in a world without oxygen. Death might not be the best solution, but the pressure of being alive are so hard to evade. His first intention was just trying to enhance student learning experiences, but ends up being too guilty of being alive. 

Same goes to MH370. Families are all still struggling with the missing airplane. 

After all these accidents, people started to realise how important to cherish every moment with your loves one and appreciate every single things you have regardless of good or bad. As for me, i wonder how could i help in these kind of tragedy besides writing blogs or prays. I really do wish to help, even if its just the most elementary one. 

People like us living a serene life will never understand how much pain it involved. Still complaining for your jobs? Suffering from breakups? Come on.. Get a life! You have no clue how minor it is comparing to something that against the universe. 

Sincerely pray for all the people involved in both the tragedies can get a peace of mind as soon as possible and stay strong for the future. 

Penang road trip 2014 ~ Day 1

I've only been to Penang since i was just a kid, so you can said that i've many things to explore about the city. As i didnt followed my family back to Taiping for Ching Ming festival in the past few years, because it clashed with my finals, i've been listening all sort of story about how fun and how nice is the food in Penang. After all the restless exams and assignments, its definitely a good time to get away from KL and i always love road trip like this because the view is amazing.  

After all, one of my impression towards Penang was there was a lots of temple and church and catholic. There are all nearby each other in just two steps of walking distance. So of course we begin with temple as well, but it was a impromptu one. While following the road sign i asked: is there snake in snake temple, and my mum said no. But it turns out, YES! Which was really scary. 

My mum was reading a board thingy that wrote be careful with the snakes on the hanger because it was real. While we were reading it, no one sees any snake because they doesn't move. And after finish reading the first sentence, i run out from the temple. Who knows there are actually on the trees as well. For me, it was really scary. No offence. 

Afterwards, we go to have lunch at a very famous cendol stores. I've seen many of my friends been there and apparently a lots of bloggers or TV programs have talk about it. But honestly, though cendol is one of my favourite dessert, but i really don't find it that special. Its nice, but i won't crave for it. In fact, there are a few cendol stores that i know are actually better than that in KL.

There are actually another booth just opposite this stores, but because everyone was lining up for this so we only tried this. But according to my cousin in Taiping, the other booth actually has many years of history already and their cendol turns out not bad too. So if you happen to be there, you should try both.   I wonder why i don't. But one good thing about this is its not too sweet. And.. thats it. 

After that, my cousin brought us to Chew Jeti which is kind a like a small housing area where all the house are build on top of the sea, its like a.. small village i suppose? Nothing much to explore there but the way the house was build and arrange are kind a ancient. Its hard to see this kind of atmosphere in other places.

Along the jeti they sell a lots of those Korean Cap, like those Kang Gary one and Song Ji Jyo one for instances and is crazily cheap. My sis bought one online cost her about RM30 plus and there only RM15. Of course they sell other souvenir too, but i am just being honest here, don't hold high aspect that you're gonna see something very fancy or nice. Its just a simple jeti. But i guess i did like it, because you can see the lifestyle over there, the people, which was kind a interesting. 

As i'm a huge lover to whatever sea or beach side, so please excuse some photos. Generation nowadays, hahaha... i don't need to explain much. 

We then go to check in at Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang, which my mum booked online earlier. It was about RM150 plus per night. My mum has did some research on different hotel and she found this was the cheapest. Overall everything was satisfactory i suppose. Both the room and bathroom was quite spacious. But of course don't compare to those 5 stars one. As most of our time gonna be at outside, so we did not demand much for the hotel.

One of the reason my mum has chosen this hotel because it has a private beach, but it was a very small one. And the location was sort of in the middle i guess, because hard rock hotel are very deep inside (not sure towards left or right of Penang) so it would be not convenient to go to the city centre.

Then we go and meet my uncle which he is lost in somewhere, and we go for dinner at the Northam beach cafe. I've took the pictures of food but there are nothing much to share because nothing there i find is really nice and nothing there i would like to recommend you all. Also, the drinks there was very expensive, one large watermelon juice cost RM10 and small one was RM4 which almost the same price with some nice cafe over here in KL. The food there was pretty expensive as well for such hawker centre. The average price over there are almost the same as KL. Most importantly, nothing we order is like really really nice. I guess a lot of people go there because it was kind a like a tourist spot? plus there are a beach near the table. But you could't see anything at night. 

Because we're not satisfied with the food over there, we drove around and look for something else. We found this "fried carrot cake" or "cha quay kag" (not sure what it actually called in english) at the road side beside one school which i showed in the pictures below. Its so much nicer than everything we've ordered just now, but unfortunately they left no more, and my mum keep ask them to just made one. So what we got are mostly bean sprout. lol.. but it still taste nice. 

Afterwards, my uncle was still very hungry i guess, we tried out things at this old green house coffee shop. It was actually recommended by a street pedlar earlier at the cendol place. He recommended us to try the "bay zhan chicken". But we're too full to try that so we order "Lo mee" and "Ha mee" which both are Penang famous local food. But again, it disappoint me. Its not nice at all. I'm sorry Penang. 

That pretty much wrap day 1. Thou nothing i find it very special but at least i get to spend some quality time with my families after so long. Anyway, Penang is so HOT!!! and because its a island surrounded by sea, its was so humid and the wind actually make your body sticky and salty. LOL.. 

Pictures and shower time. Good bye!! 

Stay tuned for Day 2!
