Baby's foot step

Hello dear readers. 

As you can see today's blogging would be about 

''Baby's foot step''. 

Why so? :) Simply because I find it very relating to our problems that we're facing nowadays. 

You might ask yourself  ''What does a baby's foot step has to do with our problems that we're facing right now? or compared to them learning how to walk and us facing financial difficulties and so on..''

Well, dear readers. Let's look at the 

other side of this point of view. 

Once upon a time, all of us used to be so small, delicate and who knows cute and adorable? :)

And then as we grow up, we started to learn how to crawl on our both knees and using our hand palms to support us as well. And somehow deep in us, we know that we wanted more. Its like a baby's natural instinct. We want to finally to be able to walk on our both feets. 

And during that period of time, that's when we always fall but guess what? Did we as a little child gave up in learning how to walk? The answer is NO. 

The amazing part is that we didn't even know what we were actually doing. Deep down in us, we just knew that we wanted to learn how to walk so badly. No one did force you but instead they just gave you the encouragement and support. 

Again, how am I relating this topic to our problems that we're facing nowadays in the society? When we were little kids, our MAIN concerns weren't about financial, health, studies or even our future because we know nothing about all those stuff. 

But our main concerns was about '' I really need to learn to walk asap''. Although we didn't literally tell ourselves that but deep in us, that was what we wanted to do. 

And when we're at that stage, we find it so tough & difficult to walk because its our very first time stepping out of our comfort-zone and learning to be independant. 

Same here right now as we're growin up into teenagers and then young adults and eventually working adults. All the problems that we're facing right now, although it is really hard, NEVER give up on yourself! And yeah, I know its easier said than done.

 I really get that feeling because I was in that situation before but hey, there won't be a rainbow without a rough storm right? In other words, think it in a positive way that without all this struggles in life, you will not be who you are today. 

And yes, sometimes all this struggles are really a pain in the ass but again, the moment we do not give up on ourselves will be the moment we can actually do it. We just gotta have faith & trust in ourselves that we can overcome our problems. 

For example, like the little baby whose just learning how to walk. The baby falls down many many times BUT he/she NEVER gave up & continue trying. 

We may think ''Walking??'' It is so simple. Why? Simply because we have already passed that stage! We have already gone through that stage before so we don't find it difficult anymore.

 And then we may also say PMR? Easy like water. or SPM? Also very easy. Definitely much more easier compared to us finally having our own homes, paying for this and that, going through tons of shit in working places

but hey, if you do realized it, those stages are getting tougher & tougher and the more you can actually go through it, you will be like WOW! I DID IT! 

So readers, NO MATTER how tough your life situation is right now or whatever that you may go through in life, please NEVER EVER give up. 

Think of yourself as that little baby trying to learn how to walk but fell down many many times but the baby which is YOU never did give up. 

I   pray and hope that this post will help you readers out there to have hope once again if your about to give up on your own personal issues.

 It could be anything such as 

divorcy,  

financial issues, break-ups,

 going through a tough time being a single parent 

or having issues with your working environment,

 conflicts with your family members, relatives, siblings,

 going through serious stage of sickness/cancer or

 just simply lost in your life. 

Dont know what you wanna do after graduation.

NO matter what it is, NEVER give up. 

Thanks you for spending your time to read my blog! 

Have a great day!

Friendship?

Hello people. :)

I know its been ages I didn't last update my blog ady. And I'm truly sorry about it. 

To those who actually pm me and ask when is my next blog gonna be updated. Well, it is right now :)

Thanks for keeping in touch with my blog.  ;)

Okay. So... As I was going through my Facebook timeline today, I happened to see many many statuses about friendships

 and so I asked myself why not blog about it then? 

Well, what is friendship really about?

 I know different people have their own different opinion about friendship or how they deal stuff with their friends but come on, at the end, all of us gotta admit 

ONE thing, 

which is bottom line, 

- friends who are there for us through our ups and downs

- friends that will not take us for granted

 - to feel appreciated and cherished by our friends 

- and of course one hand doesn't clap right? 

So despite of anyone's opinion on friendship, seriously.. I personally feel that nowadays there's just too many people who actually take their friends for granted. Sometimes I really wonder. Why are we humans so opposite?? 

We tend to care for friends who DOESNT priortized us in their life, who just treats us as their options while friends who actually puts us on the top list of their friendship, we tend to push them away and then here we go complaining that we have no close friends who actually really cares about us. 

Okay, fine. I get it. We humans aren't perfect. We do mistakes all the time and at times, we just really cant tell whose worth keeping and whose not. 

We're like in dilemma in our own friendships. Even sometimes, we tend to seek for other people's point of view or advice to know which friend is worth to keep cause we ourselves cant see it. 

But well, lets just be really honest.. Why do humans need friends?? Can you imagine you being in a cave ALONE, although you can survive because there's animals for you to hunt down or 

water to drink, you WILL still go nuts. Why?? 

Simply because you haven't talked to another human being for ages! You would be like totally insane to the extend you creating a few dolls for yourself and simply giving them your favourite names and try talking to them. So what does this shows?? 

That we humans needs to communicate constantly with people. You might be wondering how is this related to my topic ''friendship'' right? Well, let me tell you, because we dont know how it exactly feels the feeling of loosing our close friends, or obviously we're not stuck in the jungle, so we tend to take our friends for granted. I mean like hello?

 Yes, you need them and they're there for you. But they're also humans with feelings right? You dont just dump them anytime you want man. Who you think you are? Your not their boss, not blood related, so why do you think you have the rights to treat your friends like that? 

When humans totally have no one to talk to and are stuck in the jungle, I'm very sure even with ONE human that they found, they would be crazily happy to have them in their lives. 

So all I'm saying is that seriously, friendship really isn't meant to be taken for granted. When you have NO friends with you at all, you'll know the feeling of being alone/left out, you'll feel hurt or depression and trust me, it is an awful feeling. So when you got real genuine friends that are there for you no matter what, take time to appreciate them, cherished them. 

As much effort they are putting in you both friendship, put in the same as well. I'm not saying that you gotta be 100% like her/him but just do it your own way. 

Different people shows different types of appreciation and care for their friends. As long as you show it, your close friend will know it as they may have known you for years and can read you like a book. 

Some don't tell how they really feel about you cause either their fedup, afraid that they might offend your feelings or the worst scenario is that they're about to give up on you and trust me, this last sentence is the worst of all. 

Dont make your friends loose hope in you. You may get other new friends but no one can replace that friend of yours because everyone is different. 

Dont make that joyful day into becoming the day of your regrets and telling yourself shit I regretted loosing her/him cause by then its too late. If your lucky enough, you'll get a second chance but hey, not everyone gets that second chance.

In conclusion, friendship is a beautiful thing, so dont go and spoil it in your own ways. 

- Friends are not just to benefit you in your lives (they're not a rubbish bin. Take then throw) 

- Real friends cannot be bought with $$

- Friends are not people who you throw your anger on (they have feelings too, hello!)

- Friends are not there to please you in your life 24/7 (yes, of course they will try their best to make you happy cause their your close friends but they do not live to please you)

- Appreciate the time they choose to spent it with you (because thats a part of their living life as they cant get back that time)

 And readers, for those who actually take time to read all that I'm writing, yes, feel free to give your opinions on my blog. 

You can pm me on Facebook if you feel that you dont want your feedback to be public but please only one thing I asked, I'm not here to find fault with anyone nor am I pointing fingers at anyone.

 I'm just here to let out all my thoughts and to tell about what I've seen/observed so peace ok? :) 

Thanks for taking your precious time to read :)

Clubbing? Yeah, I miss it.

Hey there people! Okay.. 

So, this post is gonna be a random short post about me. Just felt like blogging about it out of a sudden. 

But before anything, here's a photo of me

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! 

I suddenly felt all emotional when I thought back about what I've gone through in the past and even now at times in the moment. Sometimes, I just feel like I'm being too good, nice or kind to people out there?

Damn... I really wished I could describe how I really feel but truth is I can't. There's just so much in me yet to be expressed out but it's gonna be like tons of essay and therefore, I'd rather not. 

But okay, let's come to the main point of this blog post. So as I was going through Youtube of different ''covers'', I happened to go into ''Sebastian Ingrosso'' & ''Martix Garrix''.

 I love their songs a lot. I somehow can feel the mood and go into those music and just dance my ass off. Hahahaha..

Anyways, what I'm trying to say here is that I really miss my clubbing life. Back then, I enjoyed the music, the companies and so on. I did have a great time. 

And I really feel like going back to clubbing life.. Just maybe not as often as I used to but at least I do still wanna go and enjoy myself. 

Okay.. Here's a photo of me when I used to party last time. Please please don't laugh at me as I suck in dressing and trying to look my best last time. *Oopps

So here it is, me in my black dress. 

2010 if I'm not mistaken. Like 4 years back huh? D:

Compared to this recent photo taken in Dec 2013. So it's my current photo, except that my hair is longer now ;).  Much better perhaps? Hahahaha. 

So I really just can't wait to get my ass off to clubs again.. I love dancing so so much. But please don't get me wrong. I don't simply dance with anybody, drink nor smoke. Definitely a BIG NO. So people tend to ask me why go to clubs if I don't drink? And how can you dance without drinking?

Well, let's just say that I'm a different girl? Hmmm. I honestly do not need to drink in order to dance. And I don't smoke too. But I do basically enjoy the music in clubs where people dont give a damn about the way you dance. Just dance like nobody's business lah. Who cares right? :D *my own personal opinion*

And and, many many people tend to think girls who goes to clubs are usually highly for 1 night stand. Hello?? Come on man. Dont be so judgemental. Most girls also wanna go there to enjoy themselves, have a great time with their friends and so on so let's not judge them by just their covers aite. :)

As for me, clubbing is something that I enjoy a lot. I get to release stress there, hear  awesome music along with the loud base and definitely dance with my crazy people! So yeah, clubbing ain't bad if you know how to club well. Don't la simply drink until hang over and the next thing you know is that your ''drunk'' video is being spam all over Facebook. 

Ps : I'm not hinting on anyone here.. Just writing on what I see through my Facebook timeline. 

Anyways, damn.. I really miss clubbing a lot. Can't wait to visit clubs soon again! 

Maybe I'll be wearing this outfit the next time I go to a club? :)

This is all for now.. To who ever that sees and reads this post, thanks very much for taking your time and great to meet you people out there!

Relationship between 'Parents & Children'

   Hey what's up people! Today, I'm going to blog about

''PARENTS & CHILDREN'S RELATIONSHIP''

Hope you readers are doing fine out there! 

Before we go further, I'll be dividing this topic into

3 different parts.

The basic elements required in a family

The problems that family usually faced

Solutions

So for the start, let's go through the everyday life a family would have to face.

Please do take note that all this are based on what I've learnt and observed throughout my 21 years of life. 

If there's any different opinions, please feel free to comment below or pm me personally at my Facebook. Thanks dear readers :)

PART 1

  First of all, when a married couple has settled down, they would definitely want to start a family of their own by having at least 1 child first right?

 And then the moment when their first child is born, they not only would feel happy and contented  but at the same time, 

they would be more than overwhelmed to have their child held closely in their arms, and that their first born baby means the whole world to them. 

Everyone wishes to have a 'perfect family', but is there really such things as ''PERFECT family''? 

Well, in my personal opinion, based on what I have learnt throughout my whole 21 years of life, seeing other friends of mine and outsider's life, no matter how much

we longed for a perfect family, there is just no such thing as ''PERFECT family'' BUT 

here it goes...

This picture says it all. As a family, we cannot expect perfections from one another. God created us DIFFERENTLY in his own image. 

We're all human beings with  different attitudes, personalities, characteristics.

That's why we're unique because no one can be exactly 100% like us. Therefore, in life, there's a thing called 

( TWO - way communication )

( Understanding )

( Spending time together )

( Give & take )

Last but not least, to me personally, I find this very important because parents nowadays hardly do so which is that your children's opinion are very important too.  

Although you may think that they're still so young, but regardless of anything, as a parent, I know you want whats best for your children but hey, hearing out their opinions wont kill your time right?

 In fact, not only you'll know what amazing children they've grown up to be but at the same time, you'll get to understand them more. Know them deeper and in what aspects they're coming from.

And yes of course, they will still respect you as their parent no matter what but again, no parents is perfect right?

 At times, as we get older, we do need some opinions & thoughts from our children too. And they came from you. So be proud and appreciate them for who they've grown up to be. 

Why two - way communication, understanding one another, spending time & give and take plays very important roles in a family?

Well, if you would come to think about it, usually arguments that starts in a family is because one of them is really stubborn while another holds the ego that he/she is right in everything and they cannot seem to give in and take in that particular argument and both shows their tempers.

There are many other ways that an argument could start off to so that's one of the example I'm giving out.

 Besides all that, when a parents holds their authority towards their children.

For example, EVERYTHING they say has to be right

and they will not give a minute to hear out to their children's opinion, then where's the proper 

TWO - WAY communication in a family then? 

To dear parents out there, I'm not pointing fingers at anybody's family but I do hope as parents, you know where I'm coming from.

At times, you just got to let your ego down in some situations. Knowing that no parents are perfect. We learn from our own mistakes and improve from there, to be a better parent. Isn't that way better?

 Compared to arguing about a particular matter, knowing that whatever your children said does make sense but simply because of your ego, you choose not to listen and eventually, cold war starts for a couple of days or even weeks.. 

Why make this happen when as a family, you can actually solve it in just one night? 

Therefore, hearing out your children's opinion is really important, and then there comes

 understanding and spending time together along with give & take situation.

When families starts to really take time and spend it together, 

you'll be able to know more about what your children is going through in their daily growin up life, 

and then it comes with understanding the problems or peer - pressure that they're facing nowadays in the society because a lot has changed in the many past years and 

then comes with give & take attitude and last but not least, proper communication.  

 If this 5 basic elements can actually be practised in a family's everyday life, I can assure that there will be lesser arguements and more of understanding one another in different parts of your own family issues. 

THANKS YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME TO READ MY BLOG. 

I SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.

Last but not least, if there are any other opinions, please do leave me a comment below or just pm me personally.

Knowing the outside world

Good afternoon people! Well, here I am going to blog about what I did yesterday. :) 

But first of all... 

Hope you guys did have a great day! 

So this is basically me. The owner of this blog. Nice to meet you readers out there yo! :)

So basically I was out with my sister Licole. She's one amazing young SPM girl. I love her attitude and I am really happy to have her in my life.. And all this time, I did want a sister so I thank God for giving me her (Licole) as my younger sister. Here's a photo of me and her in her house. 

#take 1 ;)

#take 2 :)

Don't we look so happy? Hahahaha. Well, after chilling at her house, off we go to Gurney Plaza so since

 I'm a  P H O T O  A D D I C T , yeah! I definitely did take some selfie too :P

#take 1

#take 2. Just in case you guys are wondering why are this both photos with different outfits, that is because I was trying on my sister's outfit to see which suits me better for the raining cold day and so I finally decided to take the white singlet with a blue jacket. Thanks to my sister who lend me her outfit ;)

And now, off we go to Gurney Plaza! :D 

The moment we reached Gurney Plaza, I went for a fringe hair cut because my fringe was basically too long that it is over my own chin as you all can see in the above picture and so I told the hair stylist that I want it to be around my nose length and down onwards so basically the result happens to be like this...

I was like WOW! Because I finally felt much better about it and most importantly, I love the way I look now although it's just the change of my fringe.

Like what people always say ''Sometimes small little changes can make a big impact to the particular matter ;)

After my new fringe hair cut, off we go to the new gym in Gurney Plaza! My sister (Licole) was really excited about it because it is her first time there too and really, the place is nice with the forever loud beat music. It increases the atmosphere there and it's just so nice to chill and basically have some relaxation over there. Here's a photo of Licole preparing for her gym. :)

All ready and pumped up for her work out. *winks*

And this is her personally gym wrist band which enables her to scan during her coming in, going out and as well as the lock for her own locker. 

And yeah! As usual, its a must for us both to have a memory together in the gym's toilet. Hahahaha. We're saying Sup people! 

And so after she went for her gym, I went to MPH to get some readings and that is when I found this awesome book. Based on true story by a Pastor named Matthew Cork & Kenneth Kemp. Here's how the book looks like 

I love the book! But sadly I can't buy it because its too expensive for me but of course when ever I've got the chance to go MPH, I'll definitely read the book more. 

The back page of the book. So sorry if the picture is slightly blurr. I'll be going to MPH to take another clearer look of the back page :)

And of course again, as usual. A selfie of me with the book! ;)

To me, the book is really interesting because it is mainly about this Pastor. He knows that God is calling him to reach out to all this poor countries.. Where many young little kids suffer and so on..

 So he wants to change and impact their lives. God has put that spirit and passion in him. Although I didn't get to finish the book, but I did read some and it really touches me. And the best part that catches me about the book is their main head title,

WHY NOT TODAY?

Nowadays, there are so so many people out there who NEEDS help. We over here are actually counted really fortunate to have a comfortable place to stay, food to eat, shopping malls to hang out & release stress at and even beautiful sites to looked at. But what about those unfortunate people out there?

 Everyday, their actually surviving and fighting for their daily meal, to look for a protected shelter and many more. They have tons of worries everyday. So why not we as the fortunate ones try our best to think positively with our own lives? Compared to the unfortunate people, although they feel like giving up and they find no more meaning into living their lives, BUT the problem is THEY NEVER  GIVE UP. 

They just continue to live and have faith that somehow, somewhere, a kind person would actually help them. I'm not saying that go on, help those people even if you cant do so but hey, you could at least do yourself a favor in believing in yourself & having faith that you can have a better life right? :) 

Everyone is on this earth for a purpose. No one was an accident to be put here by God. He created all of us for a purpose and all we just gotta do is to talk to God, our Heavenly Father.

 Okay.. I know some of you readers may not be a Christian and please don't get me wrong. 

I do respect everyone's religion but because I myself am a Christian so I'm just writing based on my own personal experience, not pointing at anyone or anybody's religion so yea ;) 

And basically, all I'm trying to say is when ever you feel down, hopeless, lonely, your nobody,   

THINK AGAIN  because you  DEFINITELY are somebody in this world and your really precious in God's eyes.

He created you and he loves you unconditionally.

Just speak to him anytime you want to. Treat him as your father, best friend, close friend. Its a communication of relationship between you and Him :)

Well, I know I've said a lot about this so I do hope that this words do give you your own self motivation. Really, learn to appreciate and cherished your own life because

''When ever you take a breath,

                   it just means someone is ending theirs.''  

 So why not just cherish every single moment of it when you can? :)

Okay, for now, I'll stop talking about the book for a moment and so lets get back to my day :D. After spending some time in MPH, I went to see my younger brother with his friends awhile in Kenny Rogers and then after they went off, I head back to the gym and waited for my sister to end her workouts. Here's a photo of me and her in the gym's launch =D

Oh. Looking at her tired face? Aha. Do not judge her by her tired face because she was actually really energetic and hyper after that. :P 

After that, we head out for makan with my brother and one of his friend and then we finally head home.

 Oh well, I really do hope you readers enjoy my blog and this is my second time writing here after exploring a lot last night and please do feel free to pm me at my Facebook for those who has it regarding your own personal opinions towards my blog. Really need you guys opinion about it or do leave a comment right below my blog too.
