莫名的关心

有个男生对我说，

“你吃药了吗？”

“下一次我可以约你吗？没关系，我每一个星期都问你一次。总有一次你会有空的。”

“十二点了，下一次我们再聊吧。嘿，这是我们聊得最久的一次。”

等等。。。。


他应该是。。。。。

mixed feeling at the midnight

What is the purpose of life?

Woman with nearly 30 who does not know where she wants to go.

I am gradually getting bored on my job. Is this the right path to my final destination or dream?

I have so many thoughts these few days.

Can I be a pottery artist?

Can I move to another countries?

Is this what I want?

But my thought never relate to marriage life. NEVER.

Does marriage consider as "life of completeness"?

Somehow I read an article, saying having a partner will extend your life span. Perhaps it's true, probably feeling of happiness makes your brain stimulating more endorphin.

my trip experience in melbourne - 4/5/2015

During this Melbourne trip, it recalled me back when I was staying in US. I would say thank you to unknown people including building security guard, bus driver.....and spoke friendly to them. I like their politeness and friendliness. Once I arrived at Melbourne airport and looking for shuttle bus, I stood outside the entrance and looking at my bus ticket, Suddenly a middle-aged female who was bus service staff came toward me and asked if I am looking for direction. After scanning my ticket, I quickly got on shuttle bus and looking for free wifi network in the bus.

30 min later, I arrived at Southern Cross Station and wait for free hotel transfer bus. Too bad I was too early to arrive in hotel because I only could check in at 2pm. I just placed my luggages in my room. I had booked shared bedroom with 3 persons (equipped with double decker bed & personal locker). Then, I started my walking tour around Melbourne City before checking in.

solo travelling in melbourne (coming soon)

Not more than one month, my 6-days-eat-drink-play-whatsoever-in-melbourne trip is coming soon. I have a lot of imagination on this trip. What kind of people I am going to meet there? How do real penguins look like? I think this is my 2nd time travelling alone since I was in New York visiting my aunt 6 years ago. Just a little bit planning, I am done with all.

Bus ticket, checked. Accommodation, checked. Day tours voucher, checked. Few friends were wondering why I am travelling alone. Well, actually my first thought was I wanted to go somewhere new and secondly, air ticket was cheaper. Maybe it would be a little lonely that I need to eat alone, taking selfie alone and walking alone. But one thing is good to me is I can go wherever I want. Meanwhile, maybe I can get some new ideas about life and think about what I really want to do in the future. 

Meeting new people would be interesting, probably. Working life is too boring. It's time to get some fun. 

p.s. Wishing I have a safe flight for the whole trip. 

生活的抉择

为什么梦想与爱情有时候不能同时拥有？

也许这是我的命运吧。

为什么当身边的桃花开始多了，就不想定下来了？

人是贪心的。

为什么我会选择事业过于爱情？

因为只要努力工作一定就能成功，而爱情就不会。人性嘛。。。总有很多变数。

或许你可以说，我太保护我自己了，怕受伤害。

那我不会觉得这样就是关闭自己幸福的大门吗？

也许你可以说，我很天真，希望有一天真的有一个男人可以让我醒悟，真的有那么一个人可以让我信任，打开我的心房。

几年前，算命师说我的缘分其实已经到了。那就是说这个人我一定认识的。

当时我都在观察每一个人，猜疑是不是他，不是， 那是不是他？

哈哈。。。。很神经质吧。我竟然相信算命师。

缘分这种事，还是交给上面那个“大老板”吧。

coming back to the blogger world

wow, it is been long while since my last blog. Ok.....what topic should I start for my first blog in 2015?

Oh yeah, at first I feel grateful that I have finally fulfilled 1 year service on my current job, I must say this is my longest ever career in my entire life. Once in a while, I would feel why am I choose this job which I never thought of. None of it is related to my major. Sometimes I would doubt on my current situation such as " am I doing the right things?" or........"hey I am American graduate and sitting here with my colleagues who are all graduated from local university. so why should I spend so much money to study in US?" - sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone who is graduated from local university.  Just that I feel that I can achieve more than what I am having now. Maybe I am too ambitious. Never feel satisfied until you get it and lose it at the end. That's me.

Perhaps there is another path waiting for me to go through. Time matters.

Thinking from another perspective. What if I lived in US since graduated? Probably would be.....

- I won't start drawing mug
- I am still afraid of driving
- doing something I am extremely hate, labwork (yeah I know, I am science major)
- I am nearly to the extent of obesity (haha....overload of cheese, pizza, pasta)

Breakfast with my family

Happiness is just that simple!

Tea break on sunny day

Drinking affogato with hummingbird cake (pumpkin-banana mixed cake with sunflower seed topping), what a great day and this place put me into dream for hours and didn't want to wake up for a moment. Colorful umbrella hanging along the corridor amazed me and wondering who were the artists who got this brilliant idea that caught my eyes, art is beautiful!

Mango pudding

I was quite happy that I finally could make mango pudding, hopefully my family would not getting bored of keep trying my pudding, as I will keep doing over and over again. Take 3.

如何甩开生活焦虑 - Dale Carnegie

Step 1:

善用“衡量问题3阶段”

•   收集事实      

            收集事实需以客观、公正的角度进行，即使是你厌恶、不想面对的事实，也要一并纳入考量，才能同时看见正、反双方的立场。

• 衡量事实

          在收集完所有事实，并将它们依序写下来后，他会在另一张纸写下两个问题：“我在焦虑什么？” 以及 “我能做什么？”

• 做出决定，立即采取行动

          除非你采取行动，否则分析再多的资料，也不过是浪费精力。

Step 2:

为焦虑设下停顿点

- 尝试过的经历，结束了，必须重新出发。只要先设下停顿点，就能有效减少50%的焦虑。原因在于，你早已衡量出这件事究竟值的多少代价。

Step 3:

建立“自我批评”档案夹

- 定期进行自我批评，不仅能减少“被批评”衍生而来的焦虑，更可能成为你自我检视、持续进步的动力。

Step 4:

学会接受不可避免的事实

- “当遇到问题时，我全力以赴； 当我无法处理时，就摆在那儿，让他们自行解决吧。”

   当你确信自己已歇尽全力，却仍无法得到预期的结果时，务必要懂得适时放手。否则，最终被自己的压力所击垮。

p.s. 不妨试着回想一下，在你的生活中，哪些事情令你备感压力? 你曾尝试过任何具体的解决方法吗？

错过还是命运

有时候我在想，

是我错过了机会，

还是这其实就是安排？

又或许是以前的经历，

造就我现在的想法。

迷茫着。

old cinema (in rasa)

Early in the morning, me and my parents went to Rasa (45min drive from KL) for grave cleaning. i never thought of taking picture at this old cinema, the only one cinema there, until my mum claimed that it might be totally deconstructed. The name of the cinema is "Sin Len". I can imagine this cinema was used to be the most busiest place and my dad's aunt was a snack seller inside the cinema. Therefore, my dad could watch any movies for free by just sneaking in when he was little.

遗憾

有机会真的要好好把握。机会不会有take two. 现在唯有接受这个事实吧，再继续找吧。我再也不会让遗憾发生在我身上了。
