Something To Think About.....

ART by Maisarah 

Life is A Journey....

They are things that we learn everyday. Each day is a journey... A new adventure. One that we face it either alone or with family and friends....

Mistakes in life are like rolling stone. You might roll as fast as you could without realizing it and just keep on rolling along the path that it leads you to. Sometimes, you don't even know where are you heading but one thing for sure you know it going to be a bumpy ride. But somehow after a while, you tend to lose control and hit a solid wall. Pieces of you will be flying around. Smashed into tiny bits.

Well, what is left? Nothing... Just piles of smashed stones.

But mistakes are to be learn. To help you built a better sculpture from the stones. That's why you learn better by doing mistakes.

I am currently reading a book called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. Its sort of like a diary of the author experimenting different technique and approach to a happier life in a year. While reading the book, it give me an idea to make a list. A list of lessons learned in life. Typical... Yup... I know. It maybe sounded cliche but there are things that might unexpectedly surprise you.  Well, I already have a few things to be on the list but its getting late. Maybe next time ......

Its Time to Meet Life

Apart from my daily routine of checking Facebook account and googling, I just started reading a book by my favourite author Cecelia Ahern called "The Time of My Life". Its a book about Lucy meet with her 'Life' after dealing with a lost job, a break up and had to move to a new downsize house. Well, she keeps on continue  saying her life is fine but obviously its not. (just started reading a few chapters only so not so much story to tell)

What is more important to say is that as I was reading the book, I keep on thinking about my life. How is my 'Life'? Is it a she or a he? Well, that's not very important at all. What is important is "what do I do with my life?". Apparently, as I realised I keep on doing the same thing each day and that not very good. The same unhealthy routine will cost me my quality lifetime. What did I do each day? Wake up every morning sometimes early sometimes late, do prayers, go to class, eat breakfast lunch dinner, googling, facebook, maybe a bit of reading and hanging out with friends. And that's all.

Dame. Nothing interesting about my life. Why should I care making it interesting or fun? Because Mai, you live your life just once. You can never go back in time and those time you waste just make you gain nothing. EMPTY. LOST. 

So, to my Life, i have been writing a few lists of things that I want to do and rearrange my life. Just to make it profitable in this life and in the after life. 

For starter, 

1. Re plan my monthly account. 

So that i would not have to ask my mom for money so many times. In a few months, I'm going to be 25, at that age people should be living on their own and not depending on their parents. But since I am still a student, its fine. Its just that I have to smartly plan my strategies. 

2. Making a list of 'Things That I Want To Do' and what I want to achieve in life.

Things that I take for granted in everyday life. Little-little things like smiling, helping a friend or reading some weird facts in the internet to bigger things in life like donate blood and help reduce global warming. Something like that....

3. My everyday 'To Do List' & a Calender Plan

This 'To Do List' is for my everyday works that must be done. List that would avoid me from forgetting things. 

4. 1 hour daily doing light reading on book/novel, a doodle a day and an article a day. 

For extra ideas, this book also help giving a good point of view of what to do everyday so that you live a happier life :)

Finally.....

Its officially semester break. Yahoo!!!

I'm so happy the semester is over that my hand started to misbehave doodling onto my mug.

Great! Now my mug look like............ 

Well, tone of plans to be list down for the holidays and a few catching up plans to do.

I'm expecting it's going to be a wild ride for the holidays so I'll better be prepared.

I Have A Secret....

January's scent still smelling fresh,
Wishes upon wishes crossing over the mesh , 

Never too late for me to have this secret dream to fetch,

Hoping one day it will be a dream to hatch,

Oh lets hope all right,

For I will definitely work hard for all I might,

For the coming days I will fight,

Making me happy as the sun's shine its radiant light

Or like the glowing moon in the darkest night. 

An artist,
A writer,
A dreamer,
Crying for those dreams to full in my hat
would make me smile like a Cheshire cat,

but yikes!
Tell none to all,
As they might think I am to fall,
Falling far off beyond my rightful call.

Beware now my friends,
For the rightful time will bloom,
Soon.

A Story or A Tale? You Choose

" Are story and tale the same?"

Story is "an account of incidents or events"

Tale is "a relation of a series of events or facts"

Not much different there.

But further on.

Story is also "the intrigue or plot of a narrative or dramatic work"

Tale is " an improper report of a private or confidential matter"

These closely related words diverge here, ......

Noble's Book of Writing Blunders and How to Avoid Them

 by William Noble

Blaming Everything to Myself

But sometimes,

Its just the best thing to do at that time, 

Its never about wining,

either or losing,

But sometimes,

Its just about finding more time,

In space where time can't be bargain,

Just because they are too afraid to walk along that wrong path again. 

  

Goldilocks!

She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. 

Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. 

Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. 

Goldilocks fell asleep....

 And started to get lazy to do her works again ;)

After So Many Years....

Such a great song,
That will always be remembered,
For years yet to come,
To those whom heart have been touched,
By such a meaningful deep memories,
Of  all the years that hope to last.

Its Been A While......

Title: Unfolding The Mask

Drawn 12.12.12 at 2.00 am

Its been a while,

since the last time I draw,

upon a piece of paper,

that was lying under my bed,

obviously, it wasn't a paper,

its was a sketch book,

that was bought a month ago,

leaving it lifeless and empty,

just for me to find time,

to the right moment,

to what should be pen down,

whether to write or to draw,

neither of it tells you more.

To find the right time,

for the right moment,

to the right person,

with the right reason,

its always been difficult,

but once you know,

its always come in easy, 

but let us not forget, 

to pray for the best,

so let us be the best,

for the best yet to come.

Under The Rain

Under The Rain

Walking by the roadside of the day,

Tiny little raindrop falls and hit the bottom ground,

The cold wind blow through the harden face,

Reveal what hidden underneath the soul,

Weather seem so fresh,

Yet why does it suffocate,

Lost in direction lost in words,

To which path of life should be lead?

Why does the heart beats so fast,

For it is the last,

Seeing through those eyes,

Makes it feel like ice,

Lips are sealed wondering why,

Only silent wind flying by,

Searching for the answer,

Searching for a clue,

Hoping for the best to show its true,

Knowing happiness will finally make it through,

Under the rain,

Please help it make less pain,

As spirit between souls should maintain,

For mystery of the future still remains.

Tell Me..... Tell Me Everything.

Tell Me... Tell Me Everything

Whispering my name is what you always do,

Asking me what's my mind is thinking was absolutely a must to you,

Hiding your smile from me is what you shouldn't do,

Forgive me from letting it fade from you.

Those eyes,

It means so much,

So much even when you have to look away, 

Wondering me off to your untold fairy tales,

That you've kept it far beyond those hills.

Why are you looking at me that way?

As if you are running away,

What is in your mind?

That makes you off your mind,

   Why are you so quiet?

Even your breath is loudly heard,

Tell me... Oh... tell me everything. 

Tell me everything there is to know.

Its been so long. 

Yet its longer when we know how hard it is.

Even harder when things happened the way we never plan it to be,

So tell me please tell me.

Everything In Between

Everything In Between


To see the sky fall its rain,

To feel the chill of the night wind,

To search for clues that is in the blues,

To capture moment that are moving too.

Word that crawl from the one cries,

Were just words that hidden from the eyes,

The clues were to look between the lines,

So that the answer may arise.

Things happen for it have it own reason,

One cannot tell until the time season,

Hoping  the moment to last by giving its lesson,

Till one day it help us see its reason.

Look for the things between the eyes, 

Search the answer between the lines, 

Hear the language between the words,

 Till the feel ties between the hearts.
