21

Here comes the time of my life:
My 21st,
which means I officially step into the world of adults.

Clubs and pubs no longer interest me,
only fine-dining places and gourmet do.
Racy and seductive clothes no longer interest me,
only decent and trendy ones do.
Hot and muscular guys no longer interest me,
only my fat boy does.
Gossips and F-bombs no longer interest me,
only God's words do.

To me, being 21 is to take responsibility for my life from now on.




Still have a long way to go,
since my lil cousin told me that I'm gonna live till 100.
How cute is that. :D


But there's nothing to be afraid of or worried about,
'cause I have the most amazing God,
fam, friends and man.
(You know I'm talking about you right?
Yeah, you, you, and you,
each of you who reads this.)


What more can I ask for?
Perhaps more sexy bras?
Teehee. ;)

Happy 21st Birthday to me. :)

Ps, Dearest Laoba & Laoma,

Thank you for bringing me into this world with love.

Look Around

He has been greeted a new day,

not by a full breakfast, but by the pangs of hunger.

Able to wake up and open his eyes,

is a miracle, as God has showed him mercy,

not to take away his life in this spine-chilling winter,

only wearing patched-up-clothes.

Starting the day with figuring out where to get food,

and where he can make money.

He always chooses a place next to

a restaurant/cafe/fast-food shop.

He likes to be greeted by the aroma of food,

thinking in a positive way,

he hopes to pick up some scraps or leftovers.

How can he get money?

Life is harder for him as he can't compete with the others.

What I mean by the others are

those who have the musician's genes,

but have no idea why they end up on the streets.

Those who have special abilities,

that they are able to stand so still for God-knows-how-long.

Even those who are disabled,

'cause they deserve more sympathy than him.

So, he can only bow down his head.

I believe that you guys are not strangers to the pain of

feeling like getting shot at the back of your neck

when you lift your head up after bowing down your head

for "quite a period of time".

This kind of pain no longer bothers him.

In front of him, is his favourite,

one and only "worthy" possession,

his torn baseball cap.

Throughout the whole day,

his sights never leaves the cap.

If he is lucky, he can get like a dollar or more.

If not, he will end up getting nothing,

like most of the days.

He never pays attention of what is surrounding him.

Because he is EMBARRASSED.

But one day,

there's a pair of shoes appeared in front of him,

a man's shoes, he didn't expect much,

thinking, this guy is probably trying to dig out

some change from his pocket after a big meal.

Never in his expectation will he imagined that,

this guy handed him a bag of McDonald's,

inside it is not just a burger,

there's even chips and a drink.

IT IS A MEAL!

He has forgotten when's the last time he had a proper meal...

He will never in his life forget this day,

he finally lifts up his head,

the lump forming in his throat has

stopped him from saying Thank You.

Didn't wait for him to calm himself,

the guy just handed out his hand and held his,

saying 'God Bless'.

You know, people,

sometimes, we are embarrassed of helping a homeless person

by giving him some coins,

not to mention buying him a meal.

We don't want to get any unnecessary attention.

I admit that.

The reason I make the word 'EMBARRASSED' all in capitals is,

can you imagine the embarrassment of being the homeless guy,

bowing your head on the street of a big city?

And also,

how can you buy anything with a dollar,

when a small pack of chips costs us more than $2?

One last question,

what does the below picture tell you?

This office lady doesn't care about

what people may think of her,

(well, she may look a little bit embarrassed)

she is giving this homeless guy

a chance to make his money,

despite it is in the middle of the street,

with so many pairs of eyes looking at her.

I wrote this post,

not intending to ask you guys to be generous in giving,

but to pay more attention at your surroundings,

and being aware of the slightest hope and blessing that

you can give to someone.

xoxo

PS, this post's credit goes to my friend, Julius,

a guy who bought a Double-Whopper meal,

for a homeless guy.

You are awesome!

Single Ladies

My Dear Girls,

here, I wanna confess something,

I WAS addicted to chase after boys.

I even encouraged you girls to make the same mistakes as me..

I WAS WRONG...

I came to realise that,

we, women, are built to have our emotions maximised,

we laugh and cry like crazy.

Even research says that,

'girls are more lustful than boys, they just hide it better'.

(I couldn't agree to this more.)

We, women, are built to love more and feel to be loved more.

And, the most important thing is,

we, women, are built to WAIT.

You must be thinking,

'Wait?! What if my face has become raisin-like

and my body has become prune-like?'

Well, let me make this simple for you,

I'm gonna relate it to food:

Fast food is like quickie,

easy come, easy go,

but it harms you.

Gourmet is like true love,

you have to wait,

but it's so yum and it's worth it.

Dear girls,

how you chase a boy, is how you keep the boy.

Why bother chasing after them,

while you can just wait there easily?

Leave the hard effort of chasing to the boys.

WAIT and THINK SMART, my ladies! ;)

Lost Then Found

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back money,

laying wet and crumpled in the washing machine?

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back those tiny little things

that you didn't even know you lost it?

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back your lost child

at the concierge?


Have you ever had the experience of
finding back your way home
after you found yourself lost?

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back the lost memories

while you are randomly browsing the 'Pictures' folder?

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back a long lost friend

through facebook?

Have you ever had the experience of

finding back your courage

after you got rejected?
I DEFINITELY HAVE!

It's not the end of the world if you lose something,

'cause they always turn up when you least expect it. :)

Also, never give up on finding back something you lost,
'cause how do you feel when they are lost and then found?

Definitely AWESOME! :)

Smile

A baby's smile,

can make the parents so happy that they clap their hands.

A kid's smile,

can make the teacher proud.

A cashier lady's smile,

can make the customer come back again and again.

An employer's smile,

can make the employee feel secure about the job.

A celebrity's smile,

can make the fans melt.

A friend's smile,

can assure you, you're one of them.

A crush's smile,

can make your heart stop beating.

A boyfriend/girlfriend/hubby/wifey's smile,

can make the relationship last longer.

A stranger's smile,

can give you the slightest warmth you need.

A weird old man's smile,

can make you feel creepy.

Can you see how much a SMILE mean now?

Start smiling, people! :)

Love Game

Today, I went to the basketball court.

While watching the boys playing,

my mind started analysing.

A basketball game is just like being in a relationship.

You can either take it seriously,

or just equipping yourself 'fancily' to show off.

In the game, there will always be some people

who are trying to block you,

or snatch your ball from you.

Those are the obstacles that you have to face.

If you're not careful,

you may hurt others or even yourself.

When there's a chance to score,

don't be afraid, SEIZE IT!

If there isn't any chance,

while you still choose not to let go of the ball,

you'll never gonna score.

But, in the end,

no matter you won or lost,

your hard work did pay off,

you had a good game,

also a good lesson learned.

Thanks, Boys! :)

Bad Day

When I was at the train station,

there's this old man eating ice-cream.

Suddenly, he dropped his ice-cream,

and his shoes were stained with white cream.

Many people saw it,

INCLUDING ME.

And the so-not-awesome, which is AWFUL, part is,

NONE of us helped him,

or at least offered him tissue.

With so many pairs of eyes staring at him,

he walked away embarrassedly,

with the stained shoes.

I bet that he is disappointed,

not because of losing an ice-cream,

not because his shoes were stained,

but our ignorance.

Sometimes, because of your "I-don't-wanna-get-any-attention" and

"what-will-people-think-of-me",

some people might have a bad day.

I'm REALLY sorry, Mr. Old Man... :(

Dirty Little Secret

Okay, I know you guys are expecting some real juicy dirty secrets.

Sorry to disappoint you. :P

Today, when my little cousin came back from school,

his pants was full of grass stains,

and he was wearing mud-caked shoes.

When his mum saw him like this,

yeah, you all know the rest of the story.

However, me, instead of nagging him, I asked him,

"you had a lot of fun today at school, hadn't you?"

And he got so excited,

he told me how he scored a goal today,

and he even replayed the scene.

And I realise, THAT IS AWESOME.

You know, sometimes we tend to make conclusions

without really paying much attention,

or even viewing things in a positive way.

For example,

What are you thinking when you see the picture below?

This toddler is going to stain his white pants?

The toddler is going to fall and hurt himself?

No, actually, he is trying to SAVE THE COOKIE in his hand,

that he'd rather stain his white pants.

Start thinking positively, people. :)

Finger Lickin' Good

All of us LOVE to eat chips. (Right?)

FYI, my favourite is  

I find it hard to stop after I have my first mouthful of chips.

Within seconds, my fingers have already reached the bottom of the bag.

And here comes, the AWESOME part,

it's when there's still some crumbs left in the bag,

you pre-licked your thumb and your index finger,

dig as deep as you can,

you got the crumbs,

and you lick your fingers again. :D

You know you do this as well. :P

Miss Independent

Always falling for the bad boys,

such a challenge,

she becomes Miss Play-It-Smart.

Always being introduced as a friend,

it is tiresome,

she becomes Miss Outta-My-Way.

Always being unnoticed,

her heart turns cold,

she becomes Miss Keep-Your-Distance.

Always being broken-hearted,

hates the tear-streamed and mascara-worn-off face

she becomes Miss Poker-Face.

Always keeping her heart protected,

she would never feel rejected,

that's how she became Miss Independent.

Oh, Miss Independent,

thinking no one could open the door,

could she ever get used to being loved the right way?

xoxo

I Love You

I love you.

Not because you're beautiful.

I love you.

Not because you have the lips of an angel.

I love you.

Not because you can afford me.

I love you.

Not because of your sweet disposition.

I love you.

Not because it's just a feeling.

I love you.

Definitely not because of the way you lie.

I love you.

Because of all the things that we've been through.

And that's why I love you.

ps, may I have your attention at the comment below.

Just A Dream

We're talking like we used to.

We're laughing like we used to.

We're having lame fights like we used to.

We're close like we used to.

Awake with my eyes wide open,

when realization hits me,

I know that nothing changes,

except that my pillow is already wet,

from crying for a dream.

Don't let distance ruin your relationships.

ps, Happy B'day, my dearest Dad.

xoxo

Best Love Song

The Best Love Song,

is NOT 'google-searched-best-love-song'.

The Best Love Song,

doesn't have to rhyme.

doesn't have to be written like Shakespeare's poems.

doesn't have to have 'giving-you-goosebumps-all-over' music. 

doesn't have to be sung in Justin Bieber's voice.

All you have to do is,

just gotta picture him/her smiling.

Dedicate my all-time favorite love song
to everyone whom I love.

Happy Valentine's Day.

xoxo

Sorry, Blame It On Me.

On the way home with my dad,

suddenly, he said,

"There's something that I need to tell you,

which I have been blaming myself for years.."

Shocked.

I was thinking,

"Oh no...

God, please don't tell me that

he has another daughter out there.."

Instead, he said,

"Sorry, honey girl..

Sorry that I didn't accompany you

when you first went to Aus to study.."

A lump forming in my throat,

I put my hand on his shoulder,

thinking out loud,

"Dad, just let me take that blame from you,

cause I wanna thank you,

because of your decision at that time,

your honey girl has become a miss independent today.

I love you."

ps, Happy CNY.

xoxo
