Health

I did a health screening test on Monday and I'm going to get the results later in the morning. Not expecting anything out of the ordinary as I do have reasonable health condition. But I always have questions for specific weird reasons. First and foremost, my poor resistance to cold. I could be sleeping in my room with no air-cond nor fan, wearing on a sweater, covered under sheets and not sweat at all.

My another disturbing health issue would be my battle with constipation. That's not an issue until you follow a lifestyle that should not cause it yet you have it. Get it? I usually discard fatty meats or any meat in general except for fish, I drink more than 8 cups of water, consume healthy expensive green tea in fact, eat my greens and fruits every single day. And this is not for dieting purpose. It's pure good coincidence I love them so much I actually crave for it. Just like how you'll crave for sugar. So now when I'm imbibing all these, why is it so hard to go to the tbowl I shrug.

Apart from those two anomalies, I used have major migraines. I consumed panadols almost every single day for half a year and decided to call it quits (sounds like a druggie. lol) But yeah, not sure whether it was due to 'stress', it eventually died when I push myself in taking everything easy. I also had a very poor stomach- specifically in the wee hours. I remember it worsen during the days where I had silly impromptu outings and sleepovers with both my guyfriends. I'll have to drop by a convenient store to get some ENO or 100plus most of the time. Now, charcoal pills comes to the rescue.

I don't consider myself to be an unhealthy child. Because I do able to recover a minor coughflusorethroat sickness without meds. But I must say that I have a slightly weak body, especially compared to my family. But by God's protection, all will be good (y).

Left brain Vs Right brain

I came across a pile of my facebook aquaintance's tagged picture in an event and what really bothered me was not the people in it, rather their promotional banners and buntings. Clearly, it's not done professionally by someone with a creative background. From chosen typeface, it's hierarchy, the positive negative spaces, etc it was just out. Ask my observance two years back, I'll say it's fine too.

I'm not proving that I'm a very experienced designer, neither do I doubt my own talent as well. But after coming across this, I came to think a lot of how unique we as humans are all made. Everyone do have both practicality as well as creativity but there is either more of the left brain or the right one. But I don't know why as much as a science streamed person would love to draw something out, it comes out funny. Perhaps that is why art is called a talent? Many compliments flooded along the years and I never lie to people just to please them and say oh, you can draw this too (shows portrait of like omgangelinajolie) Because the fact is, it's not as simple as picking up a pencil and walla, done. It was hard work for a 'designer' like me, what more for people with zero art sense. Vice versa to the other. Ask me to solve a tough mathematic formula question, I'll raise white flag. BUT, both are enable to achieve a certain point of self satisfactory accomplishment with practice and determination. That's the good news.

While on this planet existed these two typical categories of people, it comes with a purpose of each own. And I believe these two should work hand in hand. Imagine if we're all created with engineered medical brains or just with crazily over artistic mind, it's going to be imbalance and always lacking of that something to achieve that level of 'perfection'. Just like the disturbing banners and bunting I was mentioning earlier on top. You 'science' people are having a gathering event to bring your own species together and there is this other 'art' people studying graphic design, event planner, etc that should do their part. Which is none other to host and make your event a pretty sight, in this case.

Okay, I didn't mean to sound harsh. No offense.

What kicked me a little about this whole phenomenon is just thinking that people tend be competitive these days. Especially in the working world. Everyone seems to think their own profession beats the rest and to narrow it down, that one would think they're the best in the course. Often they'll think they know it all and no help is needed from other parties. Everyone works in a project chasing to win big money, usually neglecting what's important- teamwork and synergy.




We are each created differently. 
Each with different contribution to offer.

Errands, chores, just growing up

Been sleeping at 7am in the morning lately. Due to the awesome unpredictable inspiration that strikes during midnight, I've been experimenting with painting techniques while watching the Game of Thrones continously (5 more epis' to finish season 2). Now, I don't really know if it's the series or the painting that is the main reason of distracting my sleeping clock.

It's a good thing that my creative side is improving gradually, but at the same time, as I curl up here in my room every night, it's a constant battle in mind that's screaming to get a life. Perhaps, get a job, check everything on the to-do-list or the most important yet, going out to socialize. People always say do things that pleases you and you alone. I'm just so afraid.

because being in solitude is what pleases me.

Whatevah. Well, today was a day. There was 400 over people awaiting for passport pickup and 43 people for mobile repairement at the samsung headquarters. My S2 decided to give me trouble once again. In between of going back and forth these two venues, my family and I finally step foot into Paradigm Mall. Finallyy. Bottom line, it's been tiring and irksome. Head was literally spinning. So no thank you, I would not like to view my final semester result just yet.

Facts of running errands 
  1. It may be just one or two task, but it WILL somehow take up the whole entire day.
  2. You'll go back feeling time has wasted that you had spend so much time to accomplish that one or two task.
  3. It is better to go alone when one thing less to worry is having to drag others with you.

So, because my phone is not working at the moment, I would be going back to get it fix early in the morning. Needless to say, I should be in bed right now.

Twen-ty oh-rea-dy

An update only because it's an important event. So bias and bad.

Firstly, let's start with the man's surprise birthday, princess Eujiin, whom idea suggested none other than the baby girlfriend herself. Sorry I'm stucked with all the nicknames. It was half an hour the night before the 15th August where we headed to 'their' home, awaited outside was three quiet vehicles, tons of food that's a little too unhealthy for that hour and of course a cake with candles litted up.

If he wasn't surprised by that, I'm sure he got taken a back with the another surprise video all closed ones made for him. Aww.

Looking at the table (above image) now, I don't know why we still went down to taipan 24/7 'Inhouse' cafe because we still had leftovers. But girls (princess eujiin remember) gotta do what they gotta do. Chinwag'ed about life, boys, studies, work, beauty appearance, life... till very early morning.

Many people asked me how I was going to celebrate on the day itself. I told them church. Haha. After leaders meeting, had a good morning chilli pan mee breakfast newly opened in Klang. Whatever the chilli are made off, it sure made my tummy felt a kind the rest of the day. However, dinner at Tony Roma's Mont Kiara with the family.


The shrimp gotta have her shrimps.


Sandwich not a burger.

Complimentary birthday cake.


Dear future boyfriend/husband, my mother would be glad I've found you. She thinks I need a man atm.
