I have to blog this before I procrastinate yet again! haha this is probably more to record for my own memory as it pretty much fails in time.. :D  Anyhow, I experienced something unforgettable this time around (how much more of an oxymoron can I get?.. yes, yes, the moron bit is confirmed..!) In May (May 4th to be precise), I found out that Ed Sheeran will be coming for a concert in KL in November! I was so excited about it as the last time he came I had only knew about it after the concert was over (haha yeah). X (Multiply) is an album I constantly listen to in the car so yes, it was a shame I missed it. This time around I was determined to attend the concert. The day to purchase the ticket arrived, and of course, I forgot about it..received a text from a friend in the morning informing me that his tickets were sold out in 30 minutes! What? That's pretty insane. We never experienced this during purchasing concert tickets for other artistes. Anyhow, I was like.. oh wel

Lately I had this thought about Life. Someone asked me recently about what my thoughts were regarding God. I told her that at this point in time "God" is a word that hasn't been defined or understood by Humans just yet. Just like through time, humans research and find out the reason why certain things happen and such. I used to put God in a box. I used to think He (ha! God has a gender!) was the only Hope and nothing else mattered and having the faith that He is going to make everything ok and this is just a temporary home. Now, I have removed the box. I do believe there is this higher power that hasn't been defined or understood by the human psyche just yet - so "God" is what it's called. Could be energy, could be that our brains haven't evolved just yet to comprehend it. So that's what I told the person. I understand why God was put in a box - it was what I learnt and believed in the past due to the religious background I was raised i

I must say my reading style has changed over the years. I used to be determined to read at least a book a month - to ensure I don't lose the love of reading and maintenance and expansion of my vocabulary. That was my personal "KPI". over the years, I realised that by 'forcing' myself to read a book a month, I kinda lost the main objective - the LOVE of reading. So now I just read a book (or two) and take my own time to digest and enjoy them. I  discovered that I was setting these restrictions for myself. Therefore, I don't do that anymore :) Happiness is a Choice! Anyhow, during Christmas shopping this book was on sale. I told my sis to buy it for me as my Christmas gift ..as I was curious to read it, and I thought he looked rad in transition lens. haha #thickskin   His Holiness the Dalai Lama has a lot of wise insights and shares about the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.  I must admit some of the content confused me a lot and some gave me a wider perspe

.. that was the question that was asked to me over the past week.  "Myself" - I answered. The questioner wasn't very pleased with the answer. Dug even more and made me talk more about it. The question was asked again.."I don't know" - I said. Talked more about finding happiness since I "lost" it and "myself" over the past couple of years.  The following day, it was asked again.. "To find the meaning in life (I suppose)" - who am I, what is my purpose..  No one asked me these questions before, I felt uncomfortable and drained trying to answer it. I don't have an answer to please the questioner. That wasn't the intention. The intention was to make me aware of why I did certain things in the past and understand it and to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future (so I don't fall into the same cycle). I appreciate that. I am cared for so much. However, I do believe that this journey is for me

I haven't written or blogged in a really long time and since I took the day off, I thought I should write. Wonderful day out; so I'm sitting inside with the windows drawn closed. ha. ;) (I will get that Vitamin D and Sea later!) Recent developments - I was feeling pretty lost for the past couple of years and I think I'm in a transitional stage of accepting my past (not that it was bleak or anything like that!) and totally savouring the present moment - regardless what it may look like. hehehe When I turned 33 in early Feb, I realised I was unhappy, lost and unsure about everything; especially about myself. I felt alone and like no one understood me. Impatient, annoyed, and I'm sure, not very good company...this has been building for the past 2 years ever since I decided that Life was bigger than certain beliefs in an organised religion and dabbling in different theories (no, I can't levitate, we have aeroplanes for that :D ). I still believe there is a
