Random Shit: Leave off Void, Live on WOW

 

Today, 14/11/2020, when I’m literally writing this, I received 6 packages delivered to my doorstep – or rather gate step. 6 PACKAGES!!! TOTALLY SIX DELIVERYS CAME INTO MY HOME! Oh god! I have no idea how this 11.11 sales has got into my mom’s shopping carts that my front step is literally bombarded by the horns non-stop with my neighbors coming out to take a glance.

          This year the ecommerce market has definitely gone wild and crazy. The revenues for every platform like Lazada, Shopee, Taobao etc must be laughing some way that they earned a whole lot of money from this 11.11 festive alone.

          Okay. I got that we all have this lipstick effect or revengeful shopping spree going on now. Everyone who plans to go on vacations or holidays overseas is doomed to stay at their hometown since COVID19 messes our schedules up. So why not buy something to “compensate” myself for not being able to eat my Korean authentic kimchi or visit the Spring festival in Japan or watch my favorite sports live in Beijing?

          Buying something for ourselves or a gift for your loved ones is totally fine. But the intention behind it has to be thought through. Do you buy it because you want to really have it and use it or is it just some “jump-into-the-trend thing”?

          Shopping can be very therapeutic at first; but eventually it can be this addictive drug to get you catch on so that you are left with empty and void feeling inside your heart. People’s ego and crave of materials to fulfill the temporary lostness and meaningless in these days, are ruining us slowly without our conscious.

          There is this paradox of hedonism that our pleasures could be satisfied with more and more and more. More food, more money, more gifts, more discounts, more love, more sexes, more everything! We thought that having more option in our life could actually lead to more happiness.

          It’s fucking bullshit, man. In this time of days, you should have known better that our values, our knowledges, our morals and our personalities are so much important than some vain material that determine how you feel inside there. Don’t let the Internet fool you by those picture that shows off their money, those videos that shows off their latest sneakers, or those statements that just simply says: YOU ARE A LOSER IF YOU DON’T HAVE WHAT I HAVE!

          That’s just rather shallow and just punish yourself in a very unhealthy way.

          What everyone should have in their life is the ‘Wow’ moment. The ‘Wow’ is not meant when you Wowed when you get extra pocket money from your parents; neither the moment when you Wowed when you found out you got such a cheaper price buying online than in physical store. I’m saying those ‘Wow’ moments that you get when you achieve little small things in life.

Have some 'Weird-Out Woo' for ourselves

          I used to ‘Wow’ when I managed to hit the high tunes while singing in the shower.

          I used to ‘Wow’ when I managed to eat faster than my little sister.

          I used to ‘Wow’ when I saw the couples in the romantic novel finally got together after so much drama (I still Wow nowadays, haha)

          I used to ‘Wow’ when I managed to draw a ‘masterpiece’ of my friend’s portrait.

          I used to ‘Wow’ for a lot of stupid moments that I enjoy by myself. I think it is really time to get back to myself who used to appreciate little things happen onto me and not take things easily for granted.

          During this 11.11 sales, I bought something to reward myself. Before you go off to say I am such a hypocrite, hear me out. I bought a pair of sportswear for myself. Being such a “workoutholic” recently, getting that slim body and sexy ass is my dream and goal. But in the process of exercising, I found out something miracle happening.

          Yeah, it’s what you think, haha. I really enjoy my workout session now. I actually look forward my evening workout time right now. It’s sweaty and smelly for sure, but I really like spending my alone time with my body and trying all those impossible moves yet able to finally do it after few attempts. That small achievements mean the world for me. I know I sound like I am exaggerating but this is really how I feel when I finish my workout every single fucking time.

          I think I am going to start to remember this feeling more and try to apply them to the rest of my life. After all, this is my life that I want to enjoy. And it’s the REAL enjoyment and the satisfaction that tickles my heart little bit. That little bit means a hell lot to me :D

          Here comes a random shit I pull:

Boring is a bless. Routine is a bliss. Oxygen is a blast.

(I made that last one up so it sounds like it rhymes and the first letter of every sentence sounds like who I act like most of the time.)

          Okay bye. Time to have some ‘Wow’ moment indulging my mom’s cheesecake πŸ˜‰

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...
