Just passing through, really.

Before its existence, they joined to form life.
Many were sacrificed for these unions,
for the sake of existence.
Not forgetting to mention the sacrifices made way before that.

Discrimination,  maybe? Grudges, maybe? Rejections, objections, dislikes of certain traits or attributes. Most of all, lackings.

When all challenges were overcame, and the existence of life were formed. Losing that form of existence is feared by many.

Probably. ..remembering that we're only passing through would help in comforting the mind, especially the heart.

Reminding ourselves that we'll pass by eventually and meet those who are  already at the end of the road is a happy thought.

Until next time,  kung kung, datuk, and brother... I miss you and I'll see you when the time comes.

Ps: We often forget to appreciate and be grateful that the people we love are still with us. It's not what we've lost but what's left with us.

Travelling in the East

So, after coming back from Taipei, I was so exhausted that I slept it off for 2 days. Same time zone,  but jet lag? Fiona,  you're so unbelievable.

Anyways,  I'll be heading to Cambodia soon and then to Bangkok.  Nothing to envy, just think of the money that's flowing out is comforting enough.

I don't want to feel negative about this whole thing because I chose it. It's always hard during the initial stages.  It'll be hard work but it often pays off.  I will not regret if I didn't make it this year.  At least I learnt something valuable and will avoid mistakes in the future.

You see, unlike the fortunate ones,  I had to start from scratch,  building my own network without much help or encouragement from my own family.  I had no one to teach me how to do business or how to run one. No one's going to feed me just like that.  Reading is obviously not enough...it's a little discouraging when people say you're average so do what average people do.

Remember my favourite poem by Robert Frost, The road not taken? I'm pretty much choosing the road not taken. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had the idea that I'm not going to live a simple and contented life. It's crazy when it's baseless.  Somehow,  I just want to try, you know?  There are chances I might succeed and fail but I'm not going to give just yet.

Talking about expanding my network.  Oh gawd! !! What's with people nowadays?  Not a little of decency...it's always about getting intimate, which leads to you-know-what. I'm not interested in those.  How frustrating it is when people think that I'm there to look for entertainment. ..it's really a slap in the face. It's reality.  No one's really into expanding their friend's list for anything decent. 
*facepalm ai-yai-yai

It's hard for a chick definitely not for a guy, I think.

"How big is the universe? No one knows.That's how much I want to give back to the society when I have the money and power"

Cheerios!
