Be Water, my frenzzz

“Empty your mind, be formless, be shapeless – like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”, quoted by the one and only one legend.

This video shows Bruce Lee's philosophy thoughts. 
Do check it out. It's something you never touch in your heart.

          Once a lifesaver, forever a lifesaver. Once a swimmer, forever a swimmer. Water is a versatile element in my perspective. It flows, it changes shapes and it can be as powerful as a grenade. Being a swimmer means able to move freely above the surface and push against the water when it comes your way up front. Speed, agility and rapid movement are required.

          Whereas, a lifesaver needs to be calm, level-headed and sane. Going deep down into the water, I have to suffer pressure yet move around inside a deep 2-meter water with ease, like swim like a fish. Moreover, people’s lives might depend on me for my coolness in my head and my steady movements along the water. I cannot let the water determine my whereabouts, but I let it to become my push, my help, my way. 

          Water can be in any form -rain, pool, tears, pond, sea. Don’t let it drown you down. Don’t let it press you until you couldn’t breathe. Enjoy -or live- with it. Then you will be living an unstoppable, borderless and limitless world where you could control your own world, on your own call. 

       Mindset and perspective are so much important but you, be you. Be enemy or be friend? It’s up to you, bruh.

What's scarier than you do the same thing over and over but you are still doing it

  If you are born and raised from an Asian family, I am sure that 99.8% of you had been forced to attend some sorts of extra classes or advancement courses to “improve” ourselves while we were young (0.02% were probably crying their eyeballs out to get their getaway card). There is a Malay saying: “ Melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya .”, which means that learning in a tender younger age is the best way to cultivate and nourish skills! It’s especially applicable for Asian’s KIASU personality or more specifically Chinese people???           I was definitely not excluded. I was sent to swimming lesson for my mom stating that drowning was very possible in this world covered of around 71% water. Hence, my mom sent every one of us siblings to learn swimming in a very early ages. Other than that, art class and taekwondo class since I was in primary school were attended too.           Truthfully, I am not here to ...

Mental Health 0.2: You are not a SAVIOR!

  Helping vs Caring Do you really try to help in a good intention or something else?      When your loved ones are suffering or facing some problems, are you eager to help out by voicing out your solutions, your recommendations to do this and do that? You will be so contented and happy when they accept your methods, even if they actually did not really ask for it and haven’t completed what they wanna tell ya.  Yeah, you got that right! You maybe have some savior complex going on in you.      Savior complex , or called as white knight syndrome , is the time that you put your disgusting gross finger into other people’s businesses and think that you are saving their butt off. But, actually it is annoying to them because no one asks for them.      We literally live in a world surrounding of K-drama scenes broadcasting how the hero is saving the life of a depressed and financially draught girl from some traumatized moments. Why can'...

not Cool being Fool but acting Cool is Foolish

The most daunting question asked in interview is not these: “What is your strength?”, “What do you think you can contribute to the company?” or “What is your career aspiration?”. To me, the make-my-heart-stop-a-beat question is “Do you have any questions for us (the company)?”.             My inner thought is like: Wow, now you want me to ask you questions when this is an interview OF me? Most of the time, we think that job interviews are for us to show the best version of ourselves to fit the criteria and requirements of the job sets. No question asked. But little do we realize that this is not a full-on Q&A section for company to know you. It is an interactive conversation between 2 parties who want to get the best out of each other for the better.             People tend to have this misconception that only people who are fool and stupid ask questions, especially tho...
