Your Priority is not His Priority


There are 2 baskets on the table. You could only choose the contents inside one of the baskets. You can´t have both. One contains 1,000,000,000 US dollars cheque. One contains a Ticket to anywhere you want in this world in unlimited times. Which one would you choose? It’s a 50/50 choices. Some would choose the million dollars, or some would choose the freedom to go anywhere (especially in this critically freedom-restricted timing). There’s nothing wrong choosing whichever because everyone has their own preference, hence priorities are different among each other.
          Priorities are a ranking people tend to have or subconsciously decide on when facing a dilemma between both options that inevitably can’t be enjoyed together. When you have a different goal than your aspiring friend, you can’t be shameful to admit that you want to be a superhero but not an engineer that all your friends want to be. You just have different priorities. Period.
          Let me give you an example. Do you still remember the time that in a restaurant, you highly recommended your favorite dish to your beloved friend? You kept telling your friend how scrumptious the dish was, how the chef had brought out the essence of the dish, how every ingredient was complementing each other. Yet, your friend decided to go against you. He/she chose another food that you had a bad experience of. You were furious and angry that your friend was stubborn and being a horrible person for not listening your advice and he/she was going to regret it after tasting the food.
          To be honest, why the fuck do you care if he/she had a bad taste on foods or later on going to go toilet on countless time from eating bad food. But back to the topic, everyone has a different priority, vision for their life. Probably, that friend really likes the rather less favorable dish of you than the recommended dish. He/she put that food as his/her first priority than other food on the menu. It’s okay that they wanted to experience it because it was no harm in it other than some complaint later on. Nonetheless he or she got to bear with it because he/she prefers that.
          People love different things. Some loves punk music; some loves pop songs. Some loves apples; some loves oranges. Some loves to be a leader; some loves to always on the following side. You can’t judge people on their choice that they made, because priorities are different from each other. At this moment I want this nasi lemak. In the next second I might change my mind, choosing the roti canai for my life meal. So, you don’t have to hate him because he likes it differently than you. It’s because priorities are not the same between you guys.
          Surely, there’s also possible for you to have many options on the same plate too. That only could happen when you work hard enough, and the luck is on your side. When the time comes that you can have both the 1million dollars and the ticket to travel anywhere, do hit me up. I could be your new priority if you let me into your life. 😉

YES Pain YES Gain

‘No Pain, No Gain’ has been a rather common heard idiom that someone will say while encouraging others to be more open to challenges and try new things so that more opportunities and experiences can be gained. This is ME  from The Greatest Showman           I have always been so open to new experiences that my life motto is “LAI!” to every challenge or rants my friends threw at me. “Lai” means ‘come on’ in Cantonese. Like, how I sometimes call out my poop in the toilet. The irrational and reckless Vivian will not consider the consequences and say YES to every fcuking dare people threw at me. This can lead to some really terrible consequences. Yet, I never did learn my lesson. Because of something I hold dear to, NO REGRET!           I led a really adrenaline-rushing year in 2019, because that year the rebellious, egoistic, careless monster was controlling my whole body and so...

falling is not the hardest part

Falling is so much easy. People always say falling, dropping, plummeting down is the hardest. It destroys, it tears, it humiliates, it breaks everything.  Honestly, the most struggling is not about that. It's in the middle of wanting to fall but not fall. It's the hanging part that shit the pants. It's the suspense. It's the almost there but not there.  It is so much tougher when standing at the end of two broken grounds…the dilemma is real. It’s head splitting and soul shattering… tearing me apart slowly…and it's so...shitty Me rn People make decision based on the majority votes, the pros and cons, the most effective one, the good or bad… What if the decision need to be made UPON yourself? It is about you… Facing dilemma between the past you and the future you is so freaking hard. The past you is so amazingly awesome, doing just fine and have everything you can dream of. Yet, deep down you know that’s not the real you. Something is missing. Something ...

With Truth, Trust´n Communicate

TRUTH I have always wondered why it is so hard that people couldn’t speak the truth. Why we have to hide behind a shield and hold a sword, possibly attacking a wrong person without any notion we set the right path against the right target, or not. We might miss the good thing happening to us just because we have lied too much that we ourselves become lie , undoubtedly. No truth, where got trust ??? There are researches showing why people tend to lie. To avoid embarrassment, to maintain privacy and all the others, but we need the fact to give us a wake-up call. People are actually not as vulnerable and fragile as you think. They could mostly accept the harsh truth more resiliently and openly. The crucial point is that how you are going to tell the truth that comes into account. If you don’t want to tell, for the sake of your friends or your own, then just tell the other party truthfully that you are not comfortable to disc...
