Hello September

Time flies fast indeed. Without even realizing, its already the first day of September !

In just 17 days from now, I will be sitting for my final exam of the year. Not to forget, my birthday is just a month away ! I can't wait to be officially 16. I have so many plans ahead.

Yesterday, 31st of August, was Malaysia's independence day (56th Anniversary). 57 years ago, everyone lived in fear as the Japanese army took over the land. Well that ended by the year 1957 ! Thankfully Malaysia has been at peace for more than half a century. Tho my ancestors are foreigners (mostly from Brunei), I was born here in Malaysia and I would proudly say that I'm a Malaysian.

24th August

The best of views comes captured and cherished.

A Jog At The Park

A Jog At The Park with Mei and Elcy.

I can't believe I actually can jog for 4+ km.

Tbh, this is my first attempt ever.

I just love the warm evening air and the scenery at the park.

I could've enjoyed my jog more if I brought my hands-free along. 

Below are the pictures

(beware of the deadly poses)

We had fun although it's really tiring.

2 rounds per rest. Wait wait.. does that even makes sense ?

Thanks to Mei's iPhone, we got to know how far we jogged.

I'm not the runner type but it's not wrong to try right ? heh

Thanks for dropping by :)

Quotes

I'm entrusted with this so called "inspiring quotes". I was given this job for almost 2 months now yet, I kept on forgetting every single time. I googled some good inspiring quotes and this is is the outcome. I just copied the quote from the internet and then designed the rest. Its time to practice my Photoshop editing skill. It's quoted, "Change your thoughts and change your world" by Norman Vincent Peale. This quote is true. In order for you to change your world (the way you live), you need to change your way of thinking first. The mind is a very powerful tool. It controls and monitors every single thing we do and the way we think will result in actions. It's either you start thinking positively or might as well negatively. Both will impact you in their own special way.

The conclusion is, in order for you to change your life, you need to start thinking more positively.
The law of attraction will always do it's magic. It's up to you whether you want to make your life miserable or happy. Do your best and don't ever give up. Well that's what I keep on telling myself.

Thanks for reading.

20th August

I just bought myself a Photoshop software and I didn't know much on how to use it. So far it's good and this is my first creation using simple brushes available in that software. Oh well, everybody was once a newbie right ? I hope I can master the whole thing and might as well help decorating the blog using PS.

Thanks for reading, I'll update more later.

Depression

"My real enemy is myself."

To be honest, I found that phrase when I was searching for a picture via Google. If you want to know why, its because we are bringing ourselves down to reach rock bottom. When you over think, problems that weren't even there in the first place, exist due to your own actions. I'm getting a lot of symptoms of stress lately but I don't really know what is stressing me. Either it's lack of sleep (I'm able to sleep only for 4 hours a day due to my busy schedule at school and other curricular classes) or might as well be the side-effects of caffeine. I went through depression earlier this year due to my excessive thinking about problems that weren't even real which eventually became a migraine issue to me. I consulted with my doctor and he said that you should sleep more, don't over think and lay off the caffeine. A few months later, the early symptoms are coming back. Perhaps maybe I'm always thinking about my final exam this September and for the fact that I underwent this thing called "Semakan Nota" (Notes Reconciliation). I had to complete every notes I made from January until now in just a week. That made me extremely stressed and might be the main cause of my stressfulness. As they say, as you grow older, the more stress you will receive and you just have to be strong enough to lift it aside. 

Headache.

As we stood in our school hall for our routine Monday Assembly, my friends and I were all surprised to know that we have school this Saturday. Talking about ruining my chance of having a relaxation. I don't know but I think this stress can be good and might even bad. It's the way you confront this issue. Either you put it as a motivation to improve yourself or just use this as an excuse.

Maybe the main problem for is me that I just hate being annoyed or bothered whenever I'm doing something to release my stress. I get annoyed fast lately. I'm just not being myself. This feels like deja vu. It's like how I was on January. Sigh. I need some time alone and might even take one day as an escape from all this unnecessary nuisance. That will help by loads. My main idea for now is getting close to nature and be around places that's secluded and has a stream or might even look at the sunset. I haven't done that for awhile. For now I can only suppress my negativity and try to minimize it.

IT Fair

 

Today was the final day of the IT Fair event at 1 Borneo and I finally bought some decent stuffs because my parents are present. Everything is cheaper than ever whenever this kind of event takes place. I bought a 500GB Toshiba Portable Hard Drive for only RM149.00 (which is kind of cheap). My dad, on the other hand, bought a new laptop as I took his latest laptop so that I don't need to buy any. I actually went to this event on it's first day but I only brought a hundred bucks so I couldn't find something decent to buy except for an 8GB pen-drive.  Everything was fine for the day. Didn't get to snap some pictures cause my phone's battery was almost drained.

That's it for today.

I-Quiz : Team 21

I actually came too early (6:15am to be exact) but then when I arrived, not even a soul was seen... 

I decided to go back home which is kilometers away from the venue.

The school was really nice tho I had to admit. It felt like I was in Taiwan or something and its

maybe because of the surrounding environment. I should have taken a panorama

photo of the school compound. So many participants from our school came and I was actually

shocked ! I never thought that there would be 10 groups from my school alone.

10 groups participated from my school, only 1 survived the preliminary round.

 

Here we are ! Team 21. We actually came up with the name out of the blue.

We tried so many names for our group but not even one was decent.

The day turned out well and we had a really awesome experience thanks to this quiz.

Congratulations to Kian Kok Middle School for being 1st runner up.

Not to forget everyone else who participated this competition,

I hope to be seeing everyone again next year.

Thanks for reading =D

Team 7 : Deficient

SasuSakuNaru

Well here it is, the all so awesome mug of Sushi King.

Today's RR3 is deficient, incomplete & doesn't feel like how it used to feel.

I don't really have much to say about this or that.

The main point is I hung out with Team 7 for the first time after awhile.

I enjoyed sushi and ate loads of Tuna Mayo(s). I just have this weakness for tuna.

Talked about things we normally do. Typical stuffs. 

I didn't expect that I would end up with only one picture for today.

Thanks for reading =)

Change

Honestly speaking, the thing I'm worried about and most importantly hate about is, change.
It's weird how time can change people and the changes that we go through within even just 2 years. I'm not saying that changes are all bad. Its just that sometimes through that phase, change, your relationship with your friends become ever more apart. Through what I see, some of my friends (not all) that moved away or might as well moved for a better life, changed within just a month after they moved. They don't really contact me much as they did before they moved. This is saddening. Well maybe it's natural for people to forget people they were close to after moving away. Like hey, nobody can stay the same forever right ?

"Change means moving on from the past in order to reach out for the future"

Oh well, I guess that quote kind of makes sense. If only I can, I would like to pause time and just live through my happy moments over and over again. That reminded me of something in the movie "Suddenly Its Magic". Its something about when you live that day over and over again, that day will become just like any ordinary day. Let it be special because you can never relive it and you can finally start cherishing precious moments you have with your family and friends. That's a start.

I read Neila's & Bobbi's blog earlier before updating,

To Neila : Don't ever give up on what you want most. The best things comes earned. You can always find your way around like it's the 21st century for crying out loud. I've seen many successful bloggers around Malaysia and also Singapore. Who knows you might get good feedback in the near future and might as well earn something from the thing you love to do most. I wish you good luck and gambatteh !

To Bobbi : I just started following you so hey, good luck coping with your college life. Write more next time (if you have the time for it). Writing is good for the mind so what more could you ask for ? haha 

I have to go now but I'll surely update about today's activity. It's our 3rd Ramen Reunion (probably 2nd) with Team 7. I hope you guys the best of luck chasing your dreams !

Thanks for reading =)

Imperfections

"Before we speak of others, we must mirror ourselves first."

Well the lesson that I pretty much learned today is nobody is perfect. Everybody have their own flaws and defects. There's no need to point out what others are lacking when we, ourselves, are imperfect. Do not think that we are somehow better than others or might as well be narcissistic as God can always take back whatever it is that you have in a blink of an eye.

I feel sorry to those who are constantly judging people (I sometimes do without realizing). I am just a mere human being. A human being which isn't excluded from doing mistakes. Don't mind me but when I see others judging and pointing out flaws of other people makes me sick to the stomach. We need to respect others so that others will respect us in return. Its easy to say but pretty much hard to do because if its easy to do, I bet the world wouldn't be how it is now. We can never escape from being judged by other mortals as it is a common nature. All we can do is just persevere from all negativity and focus on God's point of view. As His judgment matters most.

From what I see, before talking about other people, we must always mirror ourselves first. This is a way to improve what's lacking tho you can't actually recover 100% of all flaws but that, my friend, what makes us US. Different personalities and different imperfections make us unique. Each person is unique tho there might be a few common characteristics that can be found but we still are different from each other.

This is my first post in August and I wish all muslims Selamat Hari Raya.
