revive. maybe not.
like my title.
I found myself in a perfect blogging mood I had 6 months ago. Though Im sure I had relapses in between, moments of imperfection and losing control, as a few close ones would know.
Many things changed.
I have a new way of looking at things now. Though sometimes there are comments dripping in cynicism.
Today I would like to honour it with appreciation.
There are times when I feel like Im alone and completely helpless. It is really depressing. And I simply dont buck up and be like, hey, Im awesome I can do it. No, I really just lie in bed and watch videos, until I found a reason to get up. One of those days, and everyone does it. But what Im trying to say is, it really is ok.
Sometimes it feels things are not going your way. But the worst part is nobody understands. Or some pretend they understand and rant off their own high horses (not doubting their kind heart though). Please, for once, just listen.
But today, I had a new revelation. It still feels great when your loved ones got pass everything and understand you, even if it took some time.
Most of the time we forgot the people we love the most deserves to be treated well. But also because we know they will never leave us that's why we forgot to show them how much we love them. We are always nice to others but we forget we should treat those loved ones even better. This is always true and I say this all the time. Maybe its time I actually do it.
One last rambling thought, be nice to others on a personal level. To strangers, to that new colleague, to your brother's friend. Be nice, not because you want something back, nor because it makes you feel good. Be nice because the other person can have a good day. Be nice because he/she can be nice to others in return. Be nice because you can be. We are no saints but that's the least the miniscule me can do.

I dont know how long I'm going to keep this space open. It's...kinda have no need to keep this space there any longer. A place to keep my thoughts maybe. Except I have to be very careful with publishing my thoughts on some public domain. It could just be a harmless rant, or some place to notify someone of something, which is practically non-existent. So I quit, when there is no longer any worthwhile purpose. I can always rant some other places, to some poor friends of mine, who are very much honoured to listen to my miserable life. Taking off the latch now.

why do guys like high-maintenance girlfriends?
is it because they want to take care of someone, to feel needed? if that's the case, then get a dog. way more responsibility there. oh or that they want to take care of someone who can sometimes actually take care of herself too. then what's the point? it's like eating cheesecake without cheese in it.

hello hello
third week from uni and I'm starting to feel the pressure of having to get everything done without anyone telling me to. It's not even like classmates are worrying at all, they all looked so chill and organised with everything. Made me feel like I'm slacking off when I am not doing any studying at home. For all I know smartness don't get you anywhere, just hard work and perseverance.
Long weekend of partying so the last time I did work was on Friday, my first assignment done. Otherwise not very productive this week at all. Friday night was my sis's birthday BBQ and pretty much wasn't doing any work since that afternoon. Got a little bit high until my sis went drunk, so I can't drink anymore, gotta make sure no one smash my house and put Bruno to bed. Luckily Johnny helped out with transport and organising. And many thanks to Emily and Yee who helped clean the house afterwards.
So woke up the next morning and finished cleaning up. Kinda tired from the night before and I don't wanna kill myself Saturday night for Em's birthday drinks. But I ended up going into city and saw some friends. Was gonna checked out MASCA the Malaysian Students Association here in Adelaide, but I saw only a small crowd so I'm like naaaah! and went shopping. No offence.
Went to Lotus for the party and it was dark in there. So very dark. They had the bar and the dancefloor inside, which was very loud as well. But there was heaps of people inside and outside on the courtyard. Still it was amazing, we all had fun. Maybe drank more than we should have but it was really fun. Shots and jokes going around. Or maybe I was drunk that's why I found everything funny. After that we grabbed something to eat to get clear-headed and went home. This is probably the biggest weekend I had and I had to force myself to study today. Wasn't working very well, but I tried my best.
oh man Bruno

The 8.9 earthquake and tsunami tragedy in Northeastern Japan came as a larger shock after the previous 5.4 quake that sent out an evacuation warning to citizens of Northeast cities of Japan. However as the 10m wave loomed 5km landwards, affecting Sendaki and Miyagi the most, no one could be against this powerful wave of force that swept everything in its path.
Images of vast water washing across that pushing houses and cars several kilometers, footages of people running out of buildings or clinging for dear life while they were at work, fires outbreak. The world watched in horror, muted by shock as the tragedy unfolds before their eyes, helpless across the distance. I watched a footage where shop assistants calmly and professionally help direct the customers out of the building to a safe evacuation point. No one does it like Japan. Using their high technology and previous knowledge and preparations as an earthquake-prone zone, no matter what the death toll shows at the end of the day, we could almost be sure that the government had done its best to minimise it.
Quickly looking at the aftereffects of this earthquake, the economy would be devastatingly on a down. Infrastructure-wise we are looking at the a revival similar to that of the Acheh earthquake. However, the reconstruction and rebuilding of the cities would be very much organised and effective than the 2004 earthquake, simply because of the systematic plan the Japanese government who are ready to implement towards the rebuilding of the city. Nevertheless it is important to note that the magnitude of this catastrophe is unprecedented in Japan for at least 120 years. The biggest challenge however remains on the effect that will have upon the economy and information flow, which rely heavily upon electricity. As much as the restoration of the electricity would be on top of the agenda, it is undeniable that it will have a detrimental effect on most businesses and governmental work. In a more immediate outlook, this will also affect the aid that will be given to victims of the tsunami.
On a cultural and social aspect, it would most likely be a deep imprint that would be left in the minds of the Japanese and other world citizens. It is crucial as to how the Japanese government deals with a disaster of such magnitude when the whole world is watching, which would serves as potentially a good lesson to other world leaders. However, it is too early to see any significant signs or problems that the government can have action upon. The people of Japan would be in deep shock and grief, which will very likely progress to become a generous empathy act that binds the nation together, adding on to the strong Japanese culture of magnanimosity.
