Living in a Messed Up World

This world is messed up! At least, my world is. As a student, I can feel many negative changes that are happening.

I often see things in negative perspectives nowadays. I really don't know why. Stress? Home-sick? There's just no answer for this.
These days, I easily hate things and people, especially teachers. 

My general dislike, or even hatred, to some teachers was triggered by just an event that took place in only 15 minutes. Since this event, I have been so skeptical about the concept that all teachers are nice. There are some teachers who are overly kiasu , there are some who are simply mean, some are just acting stupidly unreasonable. May be the way I describe their issues won't make any impression to you, but I think you will be very annoyed and have anger building up should you were in my shoes.

My mom said not to complain about my life, but she doesn't exactly know my conditions  since we are separated by seas and islands. This is exactly why I decided to rant here.

I don' want to write this longer,  I know it's annoying when you know someone is posting rants on his or her blog. 

Chinese New Year: Then and Now

Chinese New Year has always been my most anticipated holiday of the year. Not only that I get to dress up in nice red outfit, I can also get some extra money from the red packets that my relatives give me. But that's not the point, it is the togetherness that I'm looking for since I can only meet everyone in my extended family on Chinese New Years. 

I can still remember my Chinese New Year 4 years ago when I was still in primary 6.

I'm Just a Crumpled Up Piece of Paper

Since I came here, I finally understand the meaning of love, the love from family, friends, and even neighbours. But why do I have to realize this so late? Simple, it's because I've never felt really loved here. Sure, there are a few people who actually offer me a genuine friendship. However, actually there are more people who treat me like a robot that doesn't need to be loved.

Haylor ♥

Hi! Long time no see :p

Anyway, everyone knows that Haylor (Harry Styles + Taylor Swift) is like the hottest topic these days. Well, I know that this is not the usual topic that I talk about on my blog. However, I feel that this topic needs to be discussed because it's just... important for me. I just love both Taylor Swift and Harry Styles as individuals.

I can say that I'm a Haylor shipper but I still accept opinions that say how horrible this whole Haylor thingy because, evidently, Harry is like 5 years younger than Taylor, some people say that he actually likes 'cougars', and Directioners are afraid that Taylor will write another break-up song about Harry.

Malay and Me : Encouragement =D

Well, basically this article is a response, actually more like a gratitude, to some people who succeeded to encourage me to get through a MAJOR problem in my life, Bahasa Melayu. It is true that my journey with Bahasa Melayu has not ended yet, but at least I've finished the normal Malay O-level :D

Once, I said that Bahasa Melayu was my biggest enemy. That was the only thing that I 

put emphasis to about Bahasa Melayu although, in some ways, it could be my friend. But why do I 'hate' it so much? It's because Bahasa Melayu is so similar yet so different from Bahasa Indonesia. It's just quite weird that you can't do well on something that, in a way, you have known for life. But then, the differences are the obstacle in this case. I've changed my mind set. Bahasa Melayu was and is simply something that I want to get over with. If I can do well for Malay in secondary school, then I won't have to take Bahasa Melayu as a subject in JC anymore :)   

Life is a Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Today before you complain about life
think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift –

Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it.

Music Time! I Almost Do by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s new album ‘Red’ has knocked some sense of realization to me. Well, it’s more like one of its songs. As always, Taylor Swift succeeded to portray her feelings through songs. This one particular song is so simple yet can make us, the listeners, feel and understand deeply what she means. Well, at least I do because a similar thing happened to me too, I have been in a situation where I want to say that ‘I almost do’.
