Love Not Hate

LOVE is a very simple and straightforward word, yet people struggle to live by its means. We could easily say out ‘I love you’, but do we really mean it? Do you really “act” on the LOVE, or just merely speaking it because it’s  convenient or follow what people are saying only? Does your behaviour and attitude justify that you truly put your heart on me, or is it just some blanket statement as useless as that piles of face masks abandoned on the roadside?
In recent days, there have been a lot of “eventful” happenings around the world. First, the global George Floyd horrible homicide by brutal police force; next, our former Miss Universe Malaysia’s mindless, insensitive comment about this incident; then, the sudden spikes of horrendous drink-driving accidents going around in Malaysia. More and more negativity and selfishness spread around even faster than the pandemic nowadays. It is awful and downright disgusting.
We all live in a big community that emphasizes strong interdependence and more kindness towards each other could actually lead to a morally and ethically sustainable world. Every single one of you will actually be happy. Think about it. Not everything has to come to one end suffering while the other end is enjoying. All of us will experience both ends. As long we stand together, face the same adversity and fight against the monster all in one, we are acting as decent human beings and we are living right, humble and proud. Leave no regret by acting justifiably towards  others. Treat people like how you want to be treated. Simple annotation yet how many people could actually live by it? Not much.
Love > Hate
by one and only Vivian Ho

Love against hate. It sounds hopeful, some might think it’s unpractical; but it is workable and we can all do it by starting to do simple acts. Care the people around you. Ask how they are doing. Sincerely continue the conversation. A random simple act could really change this world of ours. I am not kidding you. Butterfly effect does exist in our world, when we start to love and embrace each other. Not by throwing hate comments and remarks to each other, we can actually have a great world that we dream of. Do your part and that is all it needs to be the change.

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 ...

Ignorant vs Innocent

Chinese New Year is just around the corner! Though 2021 means a whole different kind of vibe for celebration, it still does not stop me doing one of the most important elements during pre-CNY - g otong-royong (big cleanup at home).           I had spent my last week of January literally just doing that. From wiping the walls, dusting the drawers, dumping broken stuff to recycling old clothing, it was hell lot of work.           In the midst of cleaning up, there was no doubt that we would find out some past memories kept in somewhere around. This was where I found out the beauty of innocent childhoods and my past pure ignorant of this ‘cruel’ world .          IGNORANT vs INNOCENT According to Wikipedia, being “ ignorant ” describes a person in the state of being unaware, who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts, whereas, b...

Emo is alright but dont let it fuck ya up

I had publicly scolded my girlfriend and called her as a bitch. I had broken down and cried uncontrollably in my working place. Yeah. My emotional self fucked me up once, or probably two time only. Fine, it was countless for someone forgetful like me. Those were some shitty dark times that I had been experiencing, which the emo Vivian back then had no idea I was actually in a messed-up situation that I went around to fuck other people’s lives too.           Actually, being emotional is not wrong. But, present this emo side of YOU in a self-destruction, ruining-people-lives way is just purely immoral and shameful. Putting your negative and sentimental self in front of people had some rules: it has to be done in private and secret place. No one wants to know how pity and pathetic your life that you have to shout out to all the other people around you who don’t even know you in your first place. Tell someone that you trust in a quie...
