Enjoy life like a KID; Suck it like an ADULT


Recently, I had been watching a Cantonese Hong Kong drama about the girl having multiple personality disorder, which means she has different characters playing out in her life without her knowledge and awareness. One second, the crazy one will come out and ruin her normal life; suddenly, another second one will be naively following some strangers into danger. The ‘main personality’ could not control her other ‘side personalities’ inside her body.

Childish or Mature? Left or Right? Positive or Negative? 

          It had me thinking a lot how I talked in my previous post how people could be perceived as an extrovert and introvert at the same time, even with the same person looking on the same characteristics. This could downright display the notion that in fact every single one of us has different way of dealing something, depending on the situation faced in front of us.

          In the drama, the ‘normal’ personality plays out what a mature adult does. She went to work from 9 to 5 and had a perfect boyfriend. She was, what people thought as, a successful independent Iron Lady.  

          Whereas, her 'another personality' is an angry, crazy bitch. She is always hot-headed and does things without ever thinking the consequences. She portrays as the reckless kid as doing whatever she wants at all costs.

          'Another side personality' is rather sad and depressed. She always lives in her own bubbles of isolation. She feels like every living things like pesticides and bugs have to be loved and cherished. She is viewed as over-sympathizing and hypersensitive, even a cockroach also be viewed as a loved pet and be appreciated under delicate care. (if you are like that, I am not going to judge but I will stay far away from you.)

          This drama seems like a little bit too unrealistic, but I bet every one of you has that some part of those personalities somehow lingering inside your soul and spirit. Anger riled up, sadness contained and faked being normal to go on your lives. 

And I want to tell you: That is fucking normal!

          Think about it: our human bodies consist of around 206 to 210 bones, depending on some counting of sternum (go google what that is), then we have left brain and right brain which functions differently and ironically working together in so many ways. Trillions of nerves are inside of our body to fight off bacteria and build up our immune system. 

So, what is wrong of having so many personalities inside one body? Embrace all of them!

Be an adult when face with challenges or difficulties; be a child when enjoy with celebrations/happiness. No need to worry for acting like an adult OR a child. 

Be both or be anyone that you like because you dictate your own life. Do not let some stupid stranger, naysayers or even your beloved families and friends stop you.

 People can become various version of them like how we can deal with various type of people in our surroundings. We are an adult and a child, regardless of our ages. We are both and both are us.

Or any other version you are: angry bitch, calm guy, annoying bastard, crazy kid, mature man, amazing woman…

After all, what’s the fun in it when you are all work and no play? What’s more is that you are not being the fullest of yourselves? 

Release that beast and enjoy the wildness 😉

Mental Health 0.1: Are you an Impostor among Yourselves?

  Disclaimer: This post is not related to the current trending game: Among Us, at all. (how I wish it is…). Okay. Back to the topic:           “Man, you don’t DESERVE all the applause!” “C’mon you are not even THERE yet!” Another voice comes in: “Nah, you just get LUCKY only! Do you really think this is good ENOUGH?”           Sometimes, all these voices come from people around you, but most of the time it comes from the voices within yourself. If you feel that way after managing to finish a task or achieve something, I guess you get a little bit of impostor syndrome.           Imposter syndrome means the lack of affirmation of yourself after able to achieve something or complete a work by proven facts. You view your own success as being someone’s work. You view yourself of being lucky to be able to get a new job. You do not validate your o...

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 ...

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. ...
