"stay hungry, stay foolish"



I wish I had a cat, so it can keep me company when I feel lonely.
I wish I had a dog, so I can talk to it, hug it.
I wish I could speak freely about anything. I have all the right and means to.
But I don’t.

I tend to rather choose to keep it inside the shell.
Missing that point.
Echoing out things that actually does make you feel miserable at times.

So, I write it. Vaguely.
Talk about it. Vaguely.
So that perhaps you need not understand it. And perhaps you don’t even have to; or want to.
So, well go ahead.

Been feeling like a hero to zero all in a day. 

Occasionally, I have this new found glory in myself where I actually love myself for being such a change-maker. It is in my character that I don't like to let things stay as it is, if I do not like it. I'll make sure that I'm a part of changing it to something that I want it to turn out like. I love myself for daring to take risks, to make unconventional decisions, to just bare it and be curious. Heck the consequences, just do it! the spirit, the spontaneity, being rash while maintaining sanity, doing stuff that may make people look at me in a surprised way, being proud, being frown upon, being talked about. I don't need the accessories from others, to beautify my life. I love being in control, I can enjoy it meaningfully without listening to the opinions of others, with the exceptions of my loved ones. I love being me every moment.

However, sometimes, I just feel that I get a little resentful at my actions. That inner gut feeling of terror, that things may fall upon you, undesirable consequences, which may get to you. Why do it in the first place?
It's akin to being an amateur trekker, who just enjoys the nature, enjoys the walk, the view the surroundings. And suddenly, I make a decision to enter the forest. Have never tried before and I want to explore! All in the name of hunger, of curiosity. 

I swear that this could be a description of me, if not for my parents who is going on a trip along with me. (sigh, I wonder when I will get that ticket of independence to travel) I have to take into account their abilities and health.

If that situation happens, there could be two consequences. 

1) I will be the foolish person, who dares to try it. And realise the beauty and joy in it.
2) I will be the foolish person, who meets danger, uncomfortable situations. And realise that being a risk-taker has its demerits, which can impact you severely in life, and especially if you came across a life-and-death situation. 
3) Not mentioned earlier, that is if I do not try it. I will be the most foolish person who will regret. 

To clarify, what was being described was nothing at all related to the upcoming trip (although, my initial plans to go trekking in the mountainous areas were cancelled). It is more so about my current predicament being on a wonderful and exciting journey with my cause, amidst many other things I am doing, well in addition to school. 

Not that I am a stupid person (I would disagree), but I think Job's quote on "stay hungry, stay foolish" has much in its meaning to be explored; to be interpreted in both positive and negative ways. We can definitely have a conversation about it. And perhaps this conversation would be more meaningful when I grow up and take a look back on my life.

I do need a break, and thankfully it was planned this time.
- To be away.

Friends

And what really counts.

The thought?
The intentions?
The actions?
The being?

The doing of what is expected?

We will meet 3 types of friends in our life.
Friends for a reason.
Friends for a season.
Friends for a lifetime

Can easily classify people into categories.
Which can be both a happy and sad process... Because you know you want to treat that friend in that specific manner.

I presume this is also about the complexity of human relationships. Especially when you define someone in a way different from the rest of everyone. Because of a defined role you feel that the person plays in your life, when he/she fails to live to your expectations, you get disappointed.

The world hardly get simpler as you grow older. You learn to understand its functions, you listen to its beat, you jazz with it.

I'm actually, older, today.

Yooks

I'm so happy my parents got me a ukulele for my birthday present this year!
I've been wanting to own one, and I'm really thrilled that I'm getting one for my birthday :D

I keep thanking my mummy.

My ukulele has a name, by the way. It is not Yuke (u-ki), but Yook (just like "look", but the "L" is replaced with a "y") :) I like it THAT WAY. so it is (YOOK)!

I have so much to be grateful for. My family and the people who love me a lot.
I love them so so so much too. :)

Just yesterday, we had a really awesome birthday celebration dinner for me, together with my sister and her boyfriend. It was really a good time, and I love spending time with my family like this :)

I feel so thankful and loved everytime.

Haha, just another funny thing to post. I thought I was a terrible player because I was new at this instrument. I tried tuning it and it got GCEA. But the direction was wrong XD HAHAHA.

now I know.
can't wait to start to master it.

So I can be a professional entertainer hhahaa, one day.
blehs :P

The next travel


Facts That Will Make You Want To Travel 

Planning for my next travel with my family during the vacation is making me really excited about what I can explore in another place on our beautiful earth.

For this trip, I will attempt to make a photojournal about this journey and various sights.

"The best accessory on the trip: People that you love."

That being said, I would rather go alone to places which I want to visit,
if I can't find anybody to travel along with me.

To 2018 (24yo)

- Be a happy, fulfilled person
- (as I'll probably be overseas or working) Be satisfied with work and actively pursue my interests 
- While earning a good income
- Have good relationships with my family and friends that I treasure. (soul sister!)
- Be optimistic and forward looking about life 
- Hopefully, I would have found a partner
