Participating in GE14.

Image
I was raised to be biased to a political party for as long as I can remember. I'm honestly not proud to admit that, but it's the truth. Even when my family wouldn't discuss politics with me when I was kid, it was obvious that they didn't support the government. Sometimes, I would imagine if I was born in another family that supported another party, what would my life be like? I have no idea. There are times when I thought I should listen to talks by different parties, just to see how different their opinions are. --- I can't remember if it was the 12th or 13th General Elections that I was in Melaka. We followed my mother back to my hometown after she cast her vote. That night, she and my relatives were following closely to the polling results. Smartphones and social media didn't play an important part then so we relied on the TV or people for the news. The results was surprising. The gap between the government and the opposition was closer than ever, ...

First Clubbing Experience.

Image
This might sound shocking for people my age, but I've never stepped inside a club until I was close to 23 years old. I was probably the one who never stepped into a club among my circle of real life friends. The closest thing of me being in a club was playing Club mode in AUDITIONSEA. I know, my life revolves around gaming and I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's not like I don't like the idea of clubbing, I was actually really interested to go. But there were a few reasons why I never brought myself to go throughout my university days, even when I have friends asking me to go. I'm quite hesitant to go out for activities like clubbing or drinking at the bar. I don't hate drinking or dancing, I just have a hard time convincing myself to go. I live with my parents and they can be very protective of me, especially since I'm a girl. Many times my mom would say it's dangerous for a girl to go out till 3AM, or it's risky driving at ni...

Pulau Perhentian Trip.

Image
I finally gave my blog a makeover. After learning some basic HTML and CSS coding in university, I did have thoughts of redesigning my blog. But it was just too much work. I also didn't have any ideas on how to change my blog's look. But Blogger uploaded some new themes that fit the styles of blogs today, so I immediately made changes. It's more or less how I wanted my blog to look like so it works. I wish the width of my post was smaller, so I can give the illusion of me writing more HAHAHAH. I'm also going to use bigger pictures from now on. I also changed the title of my blog, and I'm wondering if I should change my blog address. ---  I couldn't transfer the photos I took from my iPhone 4S no matter how much I tried, so I had to photograph them from the phone screen HAHAHAHA I'm so sorry. This Pulau Perhentian trip happened in July 2017. It was after my final semester in university. We wrapped up our Echo exhibition and submitted our final...

Hong Kong and Macau Trip.

Image
I'm the kind of person that doesn't like last minutes plans. If you ask me at 5PM, asking me out to grab dinner together with some friends, it is most likely that I will give a lot of thought before I could decide anything. Well, it depends on who you are, where we're going and what other things you plan on doing. I'm rarely spontaneous because I tend to worry a lot. I think it is also why I have lots of regrets of not going out or doing something. But well, going to Hong Kong (and Macau) wasn't something really out of the blue. It wasn't like someone asking me, 'Hey, you wanna go to Hong Kong?' two days before the trip and I just said 'Ah heck, sure why not!' My cousin who is living in the UK got married to a person from HK, and they're having their wedding dinner in HK. My uncles and aunties were invited, but the 'kids' weren't included because there would be too many people and that would probably complicated the ...

Marriage.

Image
When I was still in primary school, I remember that I was in a after school class and somehow the topic of marriage was bought up. I think it was because some student asked if the teacher was married, and how old she was. We never got to know her age, or any of the teachers' ages, because they always said 'Never ask a woman's age' blah. Then, the teacher stated her opinion, that a person should get married at the age of 28. It made sense to me as a kid, because in my mind then I knew that there are probably lots of things to do before you settle down with someone. Even now, it still make sense to me. Even when I was young, I knew that life wasn't like fairy tales, and things don't just end with the last sentence is 'happily ever after'. When you tie a knot with someone, it's a life time commitment. My ballet teacher once told a student who was dating at the time that we shouldn't rush to be with someone our age, because if you decide to...
