Thoughts and Theories

From my old blog: 
We shouldn't worry about anything at all, because everything will fall into place in the end no matter what happens. Things are going to work out for us. If it doesn't, we'll just have to hold on and bear with it for a while. All we need is patience, and the ability to stay calm.

Changing my mindset automatically brings forth my life to a new level. And I realized it's all about feeling comfortable in your own skin, feeling truly confident about yourself but not to overreact when praises are given. Not to be beaten up by criticism and sarcasm, either. I'm a walking example of how our emotions channel our daily lives and choices we make and how we react on matters. Since it worked on me, I'm sure everyone's day could be brighter if they would choose be more optimistic, because recently all I see are rants and pointless laments floating around my computer screen. Come on people, life's brief candle. If you don't live it now you're never going to have the chance to redeem your youth, the time you wasted on complaining instead of actually making an effort to turn things around.

1. Feel comfortable in your own skin, you won't know how many people are dying to be just like you.

2. Stop worrying about things.

3. Judging is a crime. Judging by looks and impression is committing a sin. Learn to accept people for who they are and stop discriminating. We're all humans, we have flaws and we have strengths. We're perfectly imperfect.

4. Conquer your fears. Life's too precious to be wasted on being afraid.

5. No one can hurt you or bring you down if you don't let them. You are who you want yourself to be. Do not live for the others, they do not own you and they never will.

6. Live without regrets. Past experiences are what makes us... us.

7. Even the most precious of diamonds, need to be well polished for its luster to appear.

Yayasan Khazanah: First & Second Stage

Undeniably, scholarships and I tend to have rather... complicated relationships. The first one I applied for (and a quite prestigious one for heaven's sake) didn't qualify because reckless little me missed out one of the application procedures. I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice.  Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...

Of heartbreaks and the unknown

Moon's high, light's low. I'm sitting in my bed and thinking. About things. I've been doing a lot of sitting and thinking lately. Almost all the time my mind wanders off into space, and my heart starts sinking deeper and deeper into a void. This void, this blackness of a cavern. Funny enough, I know what it is and where it came from.  I ask myself the same question everyday, over and over, until it hurts to even mentally mouth the words: Why am I here in this messed up world? What have I done (or not done) to be forced to internalise so much pain and injustice? How can people live as though they belong when they've done so many others wrong? And most importantly, am I overthinking this yet again?  There was a point in time where I had so much hope in me my eyes gleamed. My blood burned bright red and my veins lit up like fireworks. Every single day, I felt like an infinite surge of electricity was coursing through me and that anything that I touched woul...
