Just a simple day, At Home

Yesterday my house had just done with part 1 of painting. My mother started painting the house while I was at Ipoh, so basically, I only helped for 2 days, haha, lazy kid.


It's always nice to spend time with family, though we often find that annoying. It's good to just stay at home and paint with mom actually, haha, dad is at UAE, coming bak this Friday.

Anyone, or everyone, remember, spend more time with your family, your mom and dad, your bro and sis, your extended family, relatives and friends, such valuable time, makes you feel more human, believe me ^^

To Ipoh

I was back home yesterday after a 3 day trip to Ipoh. Kinda good experience but somehow, not so many leng lui there as Ipoh is popular for, haha.. Perhaps all the leng lui come to KL liao ^^
The first stop: Temple
^TarC schoolmates^ got 7 ekor, 2 not in this photo^




^a guide from God, my friend said it was a good one, hehe^

Do KL people use parking coupons??? Ipoh people very careful de, cause Dewan Bandaraya Ipoh very rajin issue summons, haha. I remember that an officer issuing one, just to the car next to me... phew!!

Ipoh food quite nice de, haha, still got alot, but forget to take photo, keke... But a must try is 'Foh San' tau fu fa, damn smooth!! Mesti cuba tau?!

At the end of the journey.... a tiring driver is at last back at home... 500+ km in just 3 days, first time in my life, haha, tiring, but satisfying of course :)

Soluble problems are basically not problems

In modern days, people often complain about stress, about how many problems they face in life; failing exams, breaking up, losing a job, bankruptcy, family torment and countless other events most deem as problems. Sound harsh? Perhaps...

True, there are dejecting events that cause one to feel like it’s the end of the world, but we should realise that these will just plague us for a moment. A brave man will still cry when crumbling bricks of challenges fall upon him but a true loser is one who succumbs to the obstacles and never look up again.

To me, as long as there is opportunity to start all over again, even if it means from the scratch, nothing will remain as a problem. Yes, I will still cry at those trying times, but soon enough, I will garner enough self-respect to stand up again as a person with dignity and walk on by.

Failed an exam? Take that, knowing that you have not done enough to deserve an A. Put in more effort.

Breaking up? Take that, realising that it is either you or her deserve someone better. Get another.

Losing a job? Take that, knowing that it is either you have not done enough to deserve the job or a better employment is waiting for you to seek. Open the newspaper.

Bankruptcy? Take that, knowing that money is of significance importance but you can always accumulate wealth all over again. Remember that you always have the support of a loving family. Try again.

Not even a happy family possessed? Take that, knowing that there is a reason to every problem and you’re responsible to find out if there was negligence in your part or your children towards the family. Find out.

See? I don’t see any problem remaining. So long as problems can be solved and you can live through it, such once deemed problems will eventually evaporate into thin air.

Life is never easy. It is often easier to die than to live, leaving behind all the responsibilities as a true person than to face and overcome all the challenges, climbing up the ladder of life. The true test of courage is not to dare death, but to live life. I would not blame one who commits suicide under mental duress but it completely disgusts me when one kills himself for a problem one deems insoluble, which to me there is only one, and even that is not the reason to die.

The only insoluble problem that I believe exist is death. Upon death, what else can we do? Death is scary, you will have no more opportunity to accumulate the wealth you desire since young, to kiss the woman you admire and to love the family you once neglect.

So, as long as you’re alive, you’d have the chance to do things over and over and over again. As long as it doesn’t take your life away, no matter how harsh the reality is, any problem would soon be solved or just fade away as time goes by.

To those who find themselves in room of desperation, open the door and come out for some fresh air. Take a moment and think, cry if you need to. Realise that as long as you breathe, you own countless opportunities to resolve anything.

Now, get your ass back into the room, face any challenge like a man, a person with self-respect and never forget that you hold the key to a chest of opportunities in life. Remember, life is never fair, it’s just fairer than death, that’s all.

My Disappointment

I found this letter in a box today, perhaps was written last year, it was titled 'My Disappointment'...


I believe love is an important part of life. We're living beings with emotions, affections and desire. We want to love and we want to be loved. I used to think that love's like a fairy tale, but it didn't turn out to be one. Still, it teaches me a lot, though it teaches me the hard way.

There's this particular girl, who I just don't understand why I'm so desperate for her. I mean, she's really no one special, she's just a girl, just like other girls. But we've been through so much together that it ain't about mere physical attraction anymore. We've nurtured love, I know I love her, for always. But I always doubt that she loves me.

I care a lot for her. I tried, I tried to be there for her and trying to ease every single problem she faces. It gives me a kind of satisfaction, knowing that i've done something for someone I love. But it ain't not giving me the sense of appreciation from her, the appreciation I desire so much, that I want to know that she needs me. It's sad.

I never regretted doing every single thing for her, I just feel disappointed. I enjoyed every second of the smile on her face, sweet.. Now, I learnt that love is not owning, it's just wanting her to be happy and I wish her the best. You know that, all this while, I don't dare to leave her, because I'm really afraid that she falls into the hands of a wrong guy, someone who ain't true to her. Of course, I wouldn't know if someone loves her sincerely, but at least I know, my love towards her is genuine, but this situation is too hard for me to handle no more..

You're the only girl I know I'd love forever. I don't see the need to explain myself further, if we really can't feel the kind of love and care we're giving each other, this love is too weak, we're too weak, and I'm nothing more than a loser. The promise, I'd keep it, as promised. Perhaps we really need a serious amount of time to realise more before deciding in something as important as our future. There ain't no need to hate each other. We loved each other and had fond memories together. You're always special in my heart. Probably no one will ever stand higher than you in me..

Take care, I love you..

Lucky by choice or chance?

What is the actual definition of being lucky? Perhaps the state everything going smoothly in the way we want things to be or even better. And most will associate luck with something vague which we do not control. Is that so?

People hope to be lucky but none takes the proper initiative to acquire luck. There are those who try to find more luck, those who constantly pray to God for it day and night and even some who resort to seek advice from witchdoctors. Is this the proper initiative? Well, to a certain degree, at least they do try to do something about their luck.

I believe, luck is something we human do control. Of course, occasionally, luck visits us, but it never sits by our side for long. Luck is something to be claimed by those who deserve it over others, those who worked hard and smart to improve their odds.

At times, we might pick up a wallet with RM1 000 in cash on the street, a fancy handset with the latest functions to date, or even receive a pair of concert tickets by a friend who is unable to attend it. Certainly, these are the occasional visits by Mr. Lucky that everyone welcomes. But do we actually deserve these? Maybe.

Perhaps we feel we deserve the RM1 000 because we just lost our job and it was a form compensation, the trendy handset because everyone around you has something similar or even better and the tickets because you have always been a great friend to the person. So, do we deserve these? Yes would be the most sincere answer of a shallow minded person.

At certain point, we might have finally obtained an A for History after series of E’s and D’s, won a match against a basketball team that has always beaten us in the past, or promoted to the post we have long desired in the office. At first glance, we are lucky. Yes, we are. But there is a need to distinguish whether it is ‘Mr. Lucky dropping by for a cup of tea again’ or ‘Ms. Lucky showing some signs of affection for you’.

This time, we can say we deserve the A if we have realized our mistakes and worked hard to improve the subject, deserve the victory if we have practiced for hours daily to improve our weakness in the game and deserve the promotion if we have delivered an excellent performance throughout our employment.

Take a closer look this time, it is not Mr. Lucky, it’s the sexy and hot Ms. Lucky. She says that you’re the man she long for and she wants to marry you to live side by side with you forever. Will you? Certainly! After all the efforts you have given and finally, Ms. Lucky, the dream partner of every person on Earth says that she wants to be by your side in life. What more can you ask for?

The academic knowledge, the skills of the game and the excellent performance are the things you gained by effort that will bring you luck almost forever to be lucky every day. These are not the attributes to just woo Mr. Lucky for the occasional visits anymore, but the attributes that makes Ms. Lucky love you so much!

However! Bear in mind that nothing remains the same forever, although things can remain for as long as they can be. Ms. Lucky may not love you forever, and up to certain degree, there might be conflict between you and her that she wants to file a divorce! So, it is your responsibility to not slack off but to continuously give your effort and as long as you keep improving yourself, she will love you for as long as that.

There is the law of cause and effect that we know cannot be ignored. With the exacerbating pollution, air becomes toxic to us. With the persisting deforestation, global warming becomes the result. On the other hand, development for medication has led to better global health. And the constant research for alternative fuel will ensure the continuous supply of energy for human activities.

Forget science, the cycle of cause and effect also applies to our behaviors and ultimately our luck. There is a sequence of initiatives in the pursuit of consistent luck; change of perception, change of the state of mind, change of behavior that ends in the acquisition of true luck. We should first change our perception that luck exists only as Mr. Lucky who visits us whenever he wants and not whenever we want, then set our mind to believe that only effort will bring us more luck. Finally, we will have to behave consistent in the principles we believe in and luck will appear in front of our doorstep as Ms. Lucky.

A quote by a successful man says that ‘the more I work, the more lucky I get’.
Think again.

Blog One ~ Life

Hi, I'm kent and this is the very first blog i have after quite some time and I hope to meet everyone that will share their life experiences with me and to teach one another every aspect of life, have a good life everyone ^^

Life~

Carpe diem! Simply means live life to the fullest. What for? For life is so fragile that it ends up as death with no notice, which happens to be my greatest fear. I believe in no life after death, a typical atheist, and so, the only chance for me to rejoice, to depress, to thrill, to bore, to believe and to doubt is while I am alive.


Many blame other parties for their own misfortunes in life. Some blame God for their poverty and some blame their parents for their sufferings. Some among the poor and needy blame God for not giving them equal wealth as others do, some of the disabled community blame their parents for giving them a handicapped feature and most if not all, would have no hard time finding someone to blame, just to give themselves excuses time after time.


True, time has never been fair. Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth when some are born physically deformed. From a typical perspective, it is perceived that the former is better off than the latter.



If the perception is true, why do some disabled individuals live a happier life, enjoying all the support and care from family and friends when compared to a famously known rich individual who has no other reason to rejoice over his life besides his wealth?


Again, life is never fair. Even if we are often on the trying times of life, it is all up to our thoughts, perception, attitude and action that could lead us to a better eventuality from any terrible beginning in life. There are many handicapped individuals who achieved and inspired even those absolutely normal people with their success in academics, sports and business.



At the same time, there are also many rich and famous who are nothing more than the unbelievable wealth they accumulated for their great great grandchildren whose name they do not yet and will be forgotten as soon as the wealth consumed.


It can be easily understood that no matter how terrible our lives were to begin with, it is us to decide our destinies. Do not give ourselves excuses to be cowardly losers in life but give ourselves the faith and courage to overcome humps and bumps in life.



We should never stop climbing up the wall of obstacles, one after another, till the day we jump off one of those countless walls and reach the desired state of contentment and happiness in life. 'Gambateh, Jia You'
