Not everything is INSTANT Noodle


To me, patience was seriously my kryptonite. I had zero tolerance about waiting anything or anyone. I just had that indescribable rage coming out when someone was late for meetings or hangouts without telling the reason in advance. I was horrible at being patient back then. 

        But kids taught me otherwise. When I joined a club in university that required me to teach the secondary students about entrepreneurship, it was downright challenging my tolerance level and my patience-drawn-out-line. Kids were horrible in listening instruction. They were so uncontrollable that it drove me crazy and insane.

        When I was starting to lose it and decided to turn to my friends for help, I could see how different my friends approached them with care and gentle that I definitely lacked of. The students were able to understand my friends and had great connections with them. That was the point that I knew I got to do something. I was not here for myself but helping them.

        After a few attempts for me to slowly learn their behaviors and actions, it was not that hard after all. All I needed was patience and sincerity towards them. After all, they are all human beings and they could feel my humble and understanding approaches. Not losing hope and faith and keep trying are the key.


Have you heard about “temporal discounting” before? In economics, it means to discount the rewards as they approach a temporal horizon in the future or the past. In a layman term, it means you would rather receive the good in present than in the future. This is applicable for the money currency, stock values or the property purchases, as in the future it might get difficult to get the same value of those than it is right now.

        However, there are some other major parts of our lives that do not instantly reflect the results and we cannot have them unless we wait patiently. Patience is the way to live and the only one that makes people desperate and out of their right mind. We live in a very fast-paced and rapid technology world that sometimes we forgot not all the things comes out as quick as the instant noodle.

Taste nice but what is the long term effects???

        The outcome from the present is not always as great as the future. The short-term result is so tempting that most of the people get caught on but forgot that it could threaten the long-term results. As I mentioned in my previous post, habits are built so that we could reach our final goal. Constant steps are daunting as it requires hard work and non-wavering determination. Last of all, it requires the patience and long-waiting as nothing comes easy like a flick of a finger. No one is born straight out as amazing as Michelle Yeoh or as strong as Dato Lee Chong Wei. Every success comes with a price and that price is willingly to be waited out.

What I learn from the Unpleasant Business in Toilet 🚽

I can't believe going to toilet doing my business will lead me creating this post:          Yesterday at 2pm, I got hangry (hungry + angry) since I hadn’t eaten anything since morning. So I ordered my first meal of that day - Mcd nasi lemak ayam goreng spicy . Frankly speaking, it tastes fantastically delicious. I enjoyed and savored every last bit of that nasi lemak. However, here comes to the burning point .            Recently, my body has transformed from a bad bitch to a good girl. My body couldn’t withstand anything more than moderate-level spiciness compared to my glamorous university time where I killed every eating-spicy-food challenge thrown upon me. I even managed to conquer the Ghost Pepper Instant Noodle without drinking in between. But now, haha.          Since COVID-19, it means one thing: m ore time at home = healthier food . Since mummy in the house, t...

React to My Past Overreaction over Seller's Threat

The other night, I was reliving the moment when I felt "threatened" by a random Lazada seller that I resort to multiple ways to try to bring them down. To set the scene, I have actually dug back up my previous post where I posted the incident on my Facebook feed: Back to now, my reaction seems a little bit... exaggerated and too-over. HAHA. Like I was seriously out of emotional control, and most importantly, my friend reminded me how "beyond" I had done back then just to get back to that seller. 1. I reported to the platform's customer service and made sure they understand loud and clear how this seller's response was out of depth and downright disrespectful. 2. I almost reported this incident to the police station, which now I find it ridiculously funny and nonsense. Looking back, the seller did refund me the money but I personally felt violated hence the "attempted revenge". 3. But, I DID report this incident to the related authority. Something a...

SCARIEST thing on Halloween (or every other month)

The scariest thing on Halloween month is not ghost, devil-carved pumpkin, or the "boo" sound your siblings do behind you when you are not noticing. It's your FIRST time. Before you go off and think this is about 18+ content, I can assure you that... ... this is exactly... ... nope... I'm not gonna tell you now. It's up to you to find out whether this is all about debauchery, 69, or Fifty-Shades-of-Grey-imitation... ... by reading this article. If not, feel free to click the 'X' button on that tab and CIAO! (plus, no one is going to read this, except ME, MYSELF & I) (maybe I will regret it 10 years later? but who CARES? As someone said, "Let the future you worry about your future problem!") Okay, this is a BIG detour. What did I say again? Yup, the scariest thing on this planet, huh... Here's the list I may (or may not) experience: The first time you get scolded... The first time you get beat... The first time someone says NO to you... The...
