Young or old; we're merely mortals

I was at the hospital this morning accompanying my dad for his eye checkup. While waiting, I saw most of the   crowd were old, from all different races.

Then, I saw a bunch of medic people carrying a bed with a patient. The patient's eyes were bleeding and he was unconscious. They quickly brought him inside and waited for his turn as well.

A sudden yet obvious fact hit me. The hospital was not a fun place. In fact, the hospital is actually the saddest, most painful place in the earth. I don't pay visits to the hospital that often, Alhamdullilah and I don't like the hospital. I mean who does, its a place where it determines your health and fitness. Yet again, we can't run from all of it. Afterall we are all mortals; we're bound to die, young or old. 

Watching all these patients waiting for their turn for their checkup reminded me that I will be one of those of people in the future. As much as I wanted to deny it, the truth prevails. Well, youth is temporary, and it made me realized I should be grateful for all the blessings i have now, and should enjoy my youth as much as possible. Go hiking, swimming, get on rollercoasters, meet people & have fun! Probably spend less time on sitting, watching tv, on the internet 24/7( i mean we can still do all if these when we get older). Point is, we dont want to regret when we're in wheelchairs and wearing prosthetic teeth. Be joyful while we can! 

Sorry if this post seems a bit random. I was waiting for my dad and I had to write my thoughts out. Till then! 💖

Hello 2016! Setting NEW YR RESOLUTIONS

Halooo lovely people! The scent of a fresh new year has dawned upon us. Can you believe its already 2016? In another 4 yrs, we'll be hitting the 2020s mark so I'm actually quite in disbelief that we're actually going to like survive the 2020s. Now, don't call me a pessimist but it's like heading into a new millennium, and honestly it's a lot for me to take in.

Anyways, I bet everyone has already planned their new yr resolution, the typical mindset that we all have: NEW YEAR, NEW ME. Yes, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with setting a fresh new mindset at the beginning of every year. I mean, at least you try setting goals and resolutions to become better than the previous year. The only problem that everyone face is actually sticking to the resolutions throughout the year. A lot of things can happen in a year, so you may end forgetting your resolutions. But it's always better to make effort than nothing at all. 

So, yes I admit that I make new lists of resolutions every year and no, I don't stick to them throughout the whole year (that's quite impossible actually lol) BUT one tip that I found handy is to divide my resolutions into categories. Since the past couple years, I divided my new yr resolutions into SHORT TERM RESOLUTIONS and LONG TERM RESOLUTIONS.

For the long term resolutions, these are the goals that you want to maintain throughout the whole year(hopefully). For example, i want to lose some weight, or i want to pray on time. Usually, the long term ones has something to do with changes that i expect to happen by the end year. So the long term resolutions take action throughout the whole year, or the few more years to come. As for the short term goals, I divided the goals into months, so they're like monthly goals; what I expect to achieve in a time of a month. And it can indirectly have a connection with your long term plans.

Ex: 
long term plan: i wanna lose weight
short term plan: January- lose 5 kg
                                      -  Go the gym every Monday, Tuesday and Sunday
                          February- lose 10 kg etc

Another tip is to make sure you set realistic goals; goals that you know you're capable of. Above is an example on how these whole resolutions co-relate. By doing this, it helps me a lot to be on track of things that I expect to achieve monthly or end of the year. And it would be so much better if you have weekly or daily goals/to-do-lists. I learned that ORGANIZATION is key. Write down these goals into a book that you use daily/planner or your phone, and remember to glance through them every now and then, as a reminder: "bij, you have to goals to achieve!!!"

!!!!Another tip is to make sure you set realistic goals; goals that you know you're capable of.!!!

However to organize daily is kinda hard, especially when you're good at procrastinating  and you're not the type to follow schedule. As for me, I'm the type to make a schedule/plan but to follow it....., its another whole thing. Like I would write down plans, but I wouldn't necessarily do them on time aka I would procrastinate, yeah.

Regardless, it's a new year and it won't hurt to make resolutions. When you want to achieve something, it starts from the intention, it starts from your heart (deep tak>>) 
And guess what, making this blog post is in my January goals, but I'm actually kinda left behind with the time, so....... 


I hope you guys found this post helpful if indeed you are making new yr resolutions. And if you haven't, it's never to late to start. Better late than never. 

Goodbye! Have a great new year :)


 

Freshers Week [2k15]

Hi people of the earth, today I decided to spend a few minutes out of my so called unproductive day and blog about the freshers week!

At first, I have to admit I was a bit reluctant to join, simply because I'm not the best at socializing or making friends. Then, I thought to myself, hey this is your college life, go out and have fun! So with that mindset, I decided to ignore my 'social hermit' feeling and bought a ticket to join the event! And I managed to grab a few of my friends as well (i'm good at persuading yass)  

So for the first day, we had an ice breaking session, including some group activities. It was honestly one of the hilarious nights(or i'm just easily amused) but the last group activity really cracked me up. We had to make a costume out of newspapers and the models had to walk the runway on the stage. And oh my god, the male models were damn hilarious. I wish I had pictures but I snapchatted them so....they're gone.

For the next day, we went out of the campus and headed to Berjaya Times Square. We went for Escape Room! I've never been to one so I was really excited.We were one of the few last groups so we waited for around 4 hours until finally, we started the 'mission' at 11.45 pm. We managed to escape in the last 40 seconds, and it was dayumm mind challenging in the first two rooms After the whole game ended, I came to a conclusion that I suck at these types of games. (got no detective-ish mind its okay) 
We got back to campus pretty late, so I definitely wasn't 100% focused in lectures the next day (as if I am focused on the other days)


Lovely mates: (from left) Faizah, Jie Ying, Lucius, Loh Yi, Yin Jian, Me, Brandon, Wei Chun, Ash and Noreen 



Then the following day, we went to Jump Street in Petaling Jaya. Tbh, I feel like jakun jumping on a trampoline because I don't think , ever in my childhood I have ever jumped on one. So I was laughing so hard when I started to first jump because I was so excited. I will definitely go here again or maybe try the one in Penang! Loads of fun <3 I definitely had a great time experimenting new things with my new made friends and old friends. 



Ashley, where are your legs? XD



One personal reflection of mine: Sometimes, when you get out of your comfort zones, chances are you're gonna have loads of fun. You might feel scared or uncomfortable at first, but at the end there's nothing to be scared of, and it all will be worth it.

Thanks for dropping by, people!


fresh new start. again?

Hello guys. Guess what, I made another new blog. Yeah, no surprise although I loved my old blog so much. But things had to go wrong. I wanted to change to a new layout, but I ended screwing up during the process, so what better way than to start again? Let's start fresh, again//ughh.
edited with picmonkey.com


I can't even recall on how many times I have changed my layout and ended up just doing another new blog. Oh well, and another thing, the two posts before this are taken from my previous blog. Decided to put them here, so my blog won't be so empty,considering i update 24/7(i'm being sarcastic)

Other than that, I missed writing. As in fic writing, but my writing skills have been really terrible lately, because god knows how long since I read any fanfics, so I really don't find any inspirations these past few months. I did have a few pieces of stories, but they're just random chapters of the few stories in my head. The only writing I have been doing are lab reports and academic summaries. 

Back to the point, so hopefully i'll stick to this one for another few years, and not screw up again when i'm changing the layout. Oh, and don't ask me with names. I had history with names and a fond of changing them. Okay, that concludes that I'm an indecisive person.

This post wasn't supposed to be long //

Good night people. Happy Independence Day, Malaysia!
