New Injection of Life

 

Imagine sitting on the cold hard floor alone in living room. No furniture at all but a lonely table perking up in the middle of it. 

There is just emptiness and more emptiness growing inside you. No other sound except the whirring sound coming from your spinning ceiling fan.

            I am that person. I am left alone to discover this new, hectic urbanized life.

           Moving out from my hometown, I came to this new city of Kuala Lumpur with the hope of jumping into this pot of hustling and bustling people. As the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is indeed full of skyscrapers, luxury cars and well-dressed people in all-time. 

               I am still experiencing culture shock -- wearing just a pair of slippers and pajamas-like clothes to just eat the dinner downstairs from my condo. My Ipoh-KL friends are in awe that I dare to dress like that on the street which I don’t care a shit about. If I’m not going out to work, I can dress whatever I like!

Beginning of the Adult Life

Speaking of working, I come to KL to pursue my "career" because I love how convenient and easily accessible of the public transport that makes it no problem going to my workplace. Walking for 12 minutes to my working place, I find out this is how everyone in KL is living their lives. Everyone is rushing to somewhere at some point. There are always people in any hour at KL.

           This made me wonder and unconsciously compare it to my time in my university or hometown. Everything was slow and steady, especially at my hometown -- Ipoh. Ipoh people works hard but it seems like they always have time for themselves and show a more relaxing demeanour whenever talking to each other.

            Not even over 1 week here, KL just seems like everyone is keeping to themselves. There are big dreams and passionate ambitions here. Sometimes, I just feel like it is getting too much that they forget that life is more about just working and hustling. I think all workaholics are built here in KL. If one slows down, you will get kicked out. It’s like in the Hunger Games –the survival of the fittest.

            I guess, it will take me some time to let this high-driven blood slowly injecting into my old, slow-paced life.

The Injection of the World

The real injection is yet to come – COVID-19 vaccines. For those who haven’t registered, please go and do it! I don’t know why everyone is suspicious about everything when the solution is there. It’s like no solution also complain; tada, solution is here, still going to complain…

            Love it or not. There’s no denial that we have to get the vaccines so that those people who are unable to take vaccines (those defective immune system, children too young & elderly people) could be protected with the herd immunity threshold achieved.

            If you don’t know what herd immunity is, I don’t know what’s going on in your life. I might be reconsidering the relationship between me and you.

For my friends out there who is interning, let’s fighting together!

For everyone in this world, let’s continuing to support each other with hopes and loves! And please go register for vaccination 💉 program!

YES Pain YES Gain

‘No Pain, No Gain’ has been a rather common heard idiom that someone will say while encouraging others to be more open to challenges and try new things so that more opportunities and experiences can be gained. This is ME  from The Greatest Showman           I have always been so open to new experiences that my life motto is “LAI!” to every challenge or rants my friends threw at me. “Lai” means ‘come on’ in Cantonese. Like, how I sometimes call out my poop in the toilet. The irrational and reckless Vivian will not consider the consequences and say YES to every fcuking dare people threw at me. This can lead to some really terrible consequences. Yet, I never did learn my lesson. Because of something I hold dear to, NO REGRET!           I led a really adrenaline-rushing year in 2019, because that year the rebellious, egoistic, careless monster was controlling my whole body and so...

falling is not the hardest part

Falling is so much easy. People always say falling, dropping, plummeting down is the hardest. It destroys, it tears, it humiliates, it breaks everything.  Honestly, the most struggling is not about that. It's in the middle of wanting to fall but not fall. It's the hanging part that shit the pants. It's the suspense. It's the almost there but not there.  It is so much tougher when standing at the end of two broken grounds…the dilemma is real. It’s head splitting and soul shattering… tearing me apart slowly…and it's so...shitty Me rn People make decision based on the majority votes, the pros and cons, the most effective one, the good or bad… What if the decision need to be made UPON yourself? It is about you… Facing dilemma between the past you and the future you is so freaking hard. The past you is so amazingly awesome, doing just fine and have everything you can dream of. Yet, deep down you know that’s not the real you. Something is missing. Something ...

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. ...
