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'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 ...

Health or Hell

When it comes to health, it is not only physical health that matters. Mental health is, too. In this 2020, hatred comments and ‘spice-criticism’ is as easily found as the disease and virus around us. I just wanna touch on those issues real quick. After you finish reading it, please step to outside, take a deep breath and hurry back inside before you get the widespread virus. (Totally kidding here! – or am I?) PHYSICAL HEALTH           In this week, I was sick and felt more subjected to some responsibilities to go see the doctor instead of the old way of mine, eating no-medicine and let-it-heal-itself method. Because of one thing. COVID-19. Once upon a time, I mean, before the virus is pandemic around the world, people were not aware of their health and just ate whatever they feel delicious about. Now, supplements and vitamins and Toilet Paper are the things people hurriedly grab before the price hikes up to equally a 10-karat ring. ...

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'...
