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.

Random Rant: BF vs BFF

F.R.I.E.N.D VS B.O.Y.F.R.I.E.N.D Both of these words has ‘Friend’ in it, yet the meaning can be so far-fetched and different. Personally, friend is so much easy to handle than boyfriend. Justification? a) Friend will be always there since everyone can be made as your friend as long as you are willing to open your heart out and throw some jokes here and there and nod along. Basically what I do. b) Friend is someone whom you have fun with, share some stories, and have common of interest. Most of the time, you will have fun with your friends. Even in some times, maybe someone will throw some shades and bad things about you, just move on as there are plenty of friends out there that you will eventually find in match with you. c) Your expectation won’t be that high as compared to your boyfriend/lover/couple. Since they are your friends, if they did something annoying or some trivial mistakes, you can easily brush it off since who cares? You could always end up teasing your fri...

Insecurity from nowhere

Recently I have been obsessed about this 2018 Thai TV-series. “Girl from nowhere” plots around a girl named Nanno, who transfers to different schools and exposes everyone’s dark secrets behind the facet of the 'innocent' education institution. Inspired by true story, this series really gives me all the feels and senses in brain! Nanno from Nowhere               To me, Nanno is the representation of our inner darkest side. According to  Bangkokpost , she is described as the daughter of Satan or the snake from the Garden of Eden who comes to Earth to give forbidden fruit to humans. In each episode, she shows up at different school to test and reveal  how evil humans can be .             When I was watching it, I was horrified and scared of the depiction of this character. Not the kind of standard horrifying scared scenes from the sudden appearance of ghost or bloodlust monster...

"Mess" pot of Laksa

  Living in this multiracial and “muliti-flavourful” country, we – Malays, Indians, Chinese, Bumiputeras etc., are literally this big – super huge - pot of mixed Laksa. Yes, you hear it right. A hot delicious ‘messy’ pot of Laksa. Do you know there are 5 basic variants of Laksa, based on Wikipedia and 12 different types of them in Malaysia? This really surprises me when I always just eat one kind in Ipoh. Not the most presentable, but taste like a miracle             Don’t worry. I am definitely not a food connoisseur, so I am not here to talk about my food trip or my vlog. I come across thinking it, because I feel like we are living in this messy pot of Laksa.             I don’t know what the heck I want to write. I had my writing block that   I literally struggle myself in writing this exact post during these few days . I made a mess from juggling my job sea...
