Goodbye winter, hello spring! Wednesday, September 04, 2013 | 0 peterpan(s) Goodbye winter, hello spring! Move over cold winds, the sun is out to play! So, Melbourne has been experiencing some heat lately. (finally!) After months of layering and thick clothes, people can finally experience the warm sun and actually bask in what heat Melbourne are willing to offer us. None of the "oh, its kind of warm..." but then few seconds later, gush of wind starts blowing you from the inside out. I of course, love the heat because honestly, it is much easier to go day by day without having to worry if you are going to freeze out there. Sitting and relaxing in the park gets more exciting that way, yes. However, unfortunately, the sad thing is once spring comes into the picture, few things happen: 1: you get sick 2: your face starts to break out due to climate change. (the oils, I swear >.<) 3:you miss winter 4: can't really enjoy a good hot bath (personal) 5: it gets stuffy around noon 6:hayfever The change in weather is unkind, and because people have to adjust from being really cold to being warm, it is only fair that their body feels pressured by the change. Its that time of the month where people break out into hayfever. Then, there is that personal problem where I feel that because it is remotely warm outside, the satisfaction of earning that hot shower after a long hard day from University ultimately gets shattered. It feels much better feeling like you've earned it than actually feel as if you have done nothing different to deserve what you deserve, ( fact of life) But then, it is not entirely bad because having that heavy- heavy day does earn you that hot shower. After an intense day, you do deserve to just pamper yourself, read a good book in bed and feel like an absolute princess when you snuggle in that warm, comfortable, magical heaven you call 'THE BED.' (feel cozy just writing all that out ^.^) That is why I make sure to overwork myself as much as possible. Perhaps, overwork is not really the correct term. What I meant is to focus on the important work I have to do. In other words, to keep active and on my toes. The unecessary rant on perspective Friday, April 05, 2013 | 0 peterpan(s) Has anyone ever wondered why things turn out the way they are? Think about it, it could easily change to one extreme to the other. Happy, content and completely satisfied at first then out of nowhere, the once content feeling turn to this horrid, ugly, almost tortured opposite. To put it simply, you're high one second then you're shattered the next. Life works that way. No ifs and buts. People often argue that that is just how man are made to withstand, that is just how life meant to work. There is this compromise with how humans adapt to life's roller coaster. Isn't that the reason why humans are capable to feel and think much more advanced than any life form known to exist? But this isn't about a rant or an analysis on how humans and life are meant to coexist or how humans are capable to adapt to the changes that life brings. Simply, this is a rant somewhat relating to the fact that in everyday lives, hope can be found even in the darkest of places. This is a rant about how no matter what happens, no matter what spontaneous alteration that demands you to step out of your comfort zone, it is always a good idea to have a right mind and perspective. Of course, change is hard and you by all means, retaliate or question the reason for the changes. Cry it out, lock your door, burn a house. Whatever it is, time is a crucial process. I for one, feel that even though I know I can come out of any situation strong, I am still frail and sensitive on the inside. I've dealt with a lot, a lot by my definition of a lot I guess. What I got out of it was that I do feel like I learned a lot and that I am more than capable of being strong. However, at the same time, I still feel that I do succumb to my unreasonable nature. Blinded by what I want rather than what I actually need. Having said that, isn't it true that whatever we go through, whatever the circumstances or how fast the change may take place... the whole principle of it 'make you or break you applies.' Sometimes in all of that illogical feelings you may suppress in your heart, its easy to forget that all you need is the right perspective. Tuesday, January 22, 2013 | 0 peterpan(s) I've been meaning to change the blog skin but nothing seems to fit the specifications that I want. I guess I am just being picky. At the moment it is all around yellow. Though it was cute at first but after a few visits I question about my taste in skins. It has to be clean and presentable, the text has to be just at the right size and font. I get very detailed and picky when choosing that even when it looks good enough, it is not good enough. Why give too much thought over something so trivial? at the end of the day its just a layout. No need to perfect it up. TwentyThirteen Well, its official. Its twenty thirteen and I have not even been remotely active on updates. So much for being active. At least I tried, sort of. In other news, ITS 2013! time flies faster than I thought. It feels as if yesterday was 2012 and now, its another new year. Usually, at times like this, I've come up with my new years resolution so here it is: NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: -read more books ( Honestly have been slowing down on the book reading lately) -update le old ipod. ( I've neglected it so) - cook more -Less spending in Melbourne (food and drinks are exceptions in this case) - spend more time with the little sister. <3 p="">-spend more time with friends. more meet ups. - Do well in studies - Get organised woman! - Do not trouble the parents so much. That is a start I suppose. That will do. :) Oh, right, something strange happened on new years eve. Well, its not really funny when I think about it. I have managed to fall asleep 30 mins before 12 midnight so basically I missed the fireworks and the countdown. Especially the countdown, there was fireworks during dinner. Well, what you expect? I just flew in that day. I was dead tired. In any case, still quite an eventful new years. I am glad I get to spend it with the family. :) wouldn't want it any other way. Not right Tuesday, December 25, 2012 | 0 peterpan(s) Feeling restless, unhappy and agitated. This is definitely one of those 'I don't know what to feel' sort of moments. At the moment, I am just constantly breathing out a tired sigh. Is it the packing? is the lack of gym? or maybe I am just hungry? Maybe I am just not looking forward to the plane ride tomorrow. Its strange, I was always so keen on plane rides when I was growing up and might I add, I've been on planes more than I could even count. I think I know the reason why. I think its because I've only had to deal with no more than 2 hours journey compared to now where its always going to be 7 hours or 14 hours. The lack of space makes me nauseous. I honestly don't go looking for a throw up bag but recently, I made sure I have one. Just in case. Airplanes feel less stressful as a child but it feels almost the opposite now. But I've learned to suck it up and just try to enjoy the journey as best as I can. The Holiday thus far Monday, December 24, 2012 | 0 peterpan(s) As I have been in holiday season for the past month, I thought it would be nice if I update the world on how it is going so far. First of all, I left Melbourne for the Middle East. Why the middle east of all places you ask? well, why not I suppose. Contrary to popular belief, it is an ideal vacation getaway despite what people might think. In fact, it is one of the desired places to go to for you adventurers out there. I believe it carries a balance of both luxurious shopping experience and picturesque camping locations. Dubai, what you expect. Anyway, to be honest, holiday has been slightly bit ...repetitive. Its usually routine. After doing most of what we've planned to do it just gets slightly....bland. A typical day would consist of mostly staying at home which was great at the start but then in the end, it starts to feel dull to be honest. Granted, we had no choice but thankfully, hitting the gym everyday helps. Alot. Helps with not only the boredom but the unproductive lifestyle. Sure you could keep it up for probably 2 weeks tops but that is about as far as anyone could stand. Honestly, I miss the sights and sounds of Melbourne. Routine as it was, there was always choice. I had choice to either get on a tram and visit the city or visit the boyfriend just few blocks away. There was definitely freedom in that. Besides, Chatime is just 4 stops away isn't it a wonder why it keeps me up to my toes. Not at all saying I dislike it in Arabland of course. Basically, holiday is pretty draggy at the moment. Naturally, I'd miss this once I am away from it and since I am away from the land down under, I am missing it very much. Just 2 more months..I can do this! The good news is I am flying to Malaysia tomorrow ( not as long as I would've hoped) but still, thank god for Asian getaway. Hopefully, the months will feel like days then all there is left to do is just counting down to the hours I will once again step foot on the solid Australian ground. The Last Thursday, October 25, 2012 | 0 peterpan(s) A beautiful and poetic concept done through visual representation. A simple question people ask their significant other, 'how many were there before me?' the response usually leaves a bittersweet aftertaste where we are usually conflicted with curiosity and regret. But no matter how much we want to be someone's first, someone's best, sometimes being someone's last means so much more. People come and go into our lives, giving us a chance to experience love. The love that two people share in a relationship is always different, its never the same. Love comes in the form of who, when, what, where and why. Each representing the people whom we've met in our journey that helped to shape our lives. Once in awhile, you think back at the reasons you loved. 'who' you loved, 'what' you loved, 'when' you loved, 'where' you loved and 'why' you loved. Now and again, you wait for someone who has all of the five qualities. And when you do find someone who have these characteristics, they become the complete person , they become the last. |
