Hahaha, let's be spontaneous shall we?
A few days ago, I spent one day reading - novel (finishing it), online articles, world news via BBC application. I came across this interesting article, which was about 'The 10 Reasons Why No One Knows What They're Doing in Their 20s" by Knowledge For Men. God knows why these knowledges are only for men, are they being gender stereotype? Or it's just a name, really.
Reason I said it's interesting is the maturity of the content, suitable to be read by everyone at age from 16-20 and above.
It has a lot of agreeable statements like
- Life fully in the present. Don’t live to be happy. Be happy while living. Don’t make happiness as the end product of your achievements/goals.
- Derive happiness from whatever you are doing at present. It is the journey that you must enjoy not the end result. Time is ticking and you will not get it back.
- If you truly want to do something, you need to take control of your own life and do it. At the end of the day, it’s your life to live.
- Instead, surround yourself with people who have qualities you admire, who are smarter and more driven than you. Let their success rub off. Soak up their energy, and let their drive help push you to be better too. And don’t be one-sided about it either—remember that you can positively influence others by encouraging others to be their best selves.
- You could be spending most of your time climbing a ladder leaned up against the wrong wall (most people do). Just because theirs a ladder presented in front of you doesn’t mean you need to climb it. Go find the right ladder. Go find the ladder destined for you. Find your mission.
- Your education begins after graduation, not ends.
- If you want different results tomorrow, do different things today.
- Your time is going to fly by. Start making it count today. Live with purpose. Live with passion.
- Success is a product of hard work, not talent.
- Negative thinking like “I have no talent” or “I’m not smart enough” is not an excuse for not trying something.
- Once you’ve started, don’t stop. Fix errors, but don’t quit. You’ve probably tried many things in your life, but you likely haven’t ever committed fully to one for a long period of time. When the goal you’re working on is your life’s true mission, you’ll find it hard to toss aside—the drive inside will tell you to keep going.
- Stop wasting time filling your life with the things that billion dollar marketing companies tell you that you need, and instead build your days on getting to where you want to be.
Words worth reading. Thoughts worth absorbing into the brain.
At times, we tend to be too focused on people's personal lives, and we, the young people, the adults - neglect the roles we are supposed to have. Definitely not online-stalking, gaming, online-dating and stuffs like that, it's the role in becoming a better person each day, working hard towards our life goals with passion and positive spirits.
Thus far, this is a piece of article that I find one of the most sensible and it's a good wake up call to those who are still well you know, daydreaming.

(Let's talk about movies!)
Approximately less than 6 days ago, I've watched a French (wow) movie, recommended by a friend of mine.
The Intouchables : 4.2/5.0 (trailer)
This movie doesn't really have an obvious lesson like how other movies are heavily emphasised. The moral lessons are widespread in different scenes, so it's quite hard to conclude all together to form one life lesson. On a poster, however has a beautiful statement,
'Sometimes you have to reach in to someone else's world to find what's missing in your own. '
So true right?
It somehow reminds me of being a volunteer, how I want myself to involve more in jobs that can help people who are homeless, people who are disable, orphans, old people or volunteering activities that are beneficial to the society. Having a vast experience not to mention building up a better character and leadership in self by lending them a hand, interacting with them will make me comprehend them more. I'm sure it's helpful and it definitely will bring good outcomes for my career in the future. Really really want to do this, not only by myself, perhaps tying some good ol' friends along, following behind me, hahaha #hopefully #hopefully
Speaking of movie with similar genre like this, I'd recommend you guys to watch
The Impossible : 4.9/5.0
In this movie, there is hardly any funny elements in it, so don't expect to laugh or whatsoever. It's pretty suspenseful and thrilling though. Prepare some tissue papers just incase you are going to tear in the end of the movie. (Advice for girls only)
Watch the trailer HERE :)
Both of these movies have won some international awards, which I didn't know until I googled about it. Good ratings from rottentomatoes, great reviews from viewers, all in all, good feedbacks for both.
It's not going to dissapoint, I gurantee :)

(complain time! Please bear with me :/ )
After months of rotting, I'm back to driving lessons again. Eh wait, it's not like I hire the instructor to teach me and go through the tests all over again hell NO. My siblings and parents are my instructors these few months. To say I am a good driver now, that would rather be an understatement because I haven't reached the 'pemandu berhemat' type of driver YET. Got myself into a very minor accident that day, thankfully everything was fine.. just that.......thecarwashavingaheartachetime so as my papa, oh my shitty hell I swear that moment was damn shitty. /tears/
Occasionally, I find myself very very dumb for not mastering the back parking at ONE time. I lost count how many times my mum actually taught me patiently, reversing, adjusting, wheeling the stereng, one step by one step, until I managed to finally back parking by myself at the end of the lesson. Good god, Mama thank you for being so patient towards your silly daughter who is unconfident in driving (you know why if you read my posts last time with label 'driving'). No one, I mean no one other than you have so remarkably good temper when it comes to this. :')
Anyhoo, my driving skills ain't very good YET, still shitty and I haven't got a pass from the best driver at my house, the you know who. Gahhh how I wish driving is as easy as cooking. Hahaha totally unrelated but oh well..
That day, Mama written a note, which sounds like this :
"Adik, you kena kuat bersabar. Tabah berusaha. Show mum good news."
I totally understand the message she's trying to send.. the thoughts is what that counts. (Just fyi, my mum isn't someone who writes BM often.) With what you've written, Mama I'm proud of you! And I'll always remember what you said, with all my efforts and prayers, please let me master driving as quick as possible pleaseeeeeee
Thank you, Mama for always being there :') #grateful

Lately, it hits me again that "being strong" ain't as easy as I thought. It never is easy. Said and done are very different as 'said' fades, whereas 'done' takes hella long time to be proven. So who said it's not difficult?
Really can't figure out why the self-weakness seems like coming back again - being unconfident, being blur, being dumb, being not aware enough. It's stressful sometimes.
Be serious and use your bloody brain, self.
On a brighter note, I finished reading Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella two days ago. :) It was a nice book for a good laugh, suspenseful in the beginning and ended up okay. Keep it up the good job in creating the suspense in every chapter of each of your book, Sophie! Love it :)
And, a short film called, "The Butterfly Circus" kinda turned my perspective upside down once again.
NOTHING is impossible, self.
It's the lesson from the film btw. Watch it. I highly recommend :)
Look, I'm supposed to be on bed now. (Pardon the spelling and grammar mistakes)
I seriously don't know what to name my blogpost hence I'll leave it untitled yeah?
Haha, till then.
Goodnight love!
