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 :)

I am a Book Addict


Yes
I can proudly say I am a book addict.
Love the feeling on entering a book store.
And the fresh smell of novels.
When especially all of this are for FREE.

Finished Some Painting Let's Do Some Reading....

Title: 'Lady Garden'
Materials: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 16 inch x 20 inch
Date: January 2013 


Wow, I managed to finished my artwork just in time before the month of February. That artwork took longer time that I expected. Way much, much longer time. I have to delayed finishing it for thousand of time just because I was easily carried away with the hectic enjoyment at home. Yes. Home. You know how is it at home.

Nevertheless, it finished with the help of my little brother giving the name for it! 'Lady Garden'. Not bad I guess. I don't know. I'm not good in giving names. That why he helped. Well, he insisted anyway. So now I do want to have some quality reading time for myself since I was so busy with my architectural works and assignments. I'm dying to read another one of Cecelia Ahern bestselling books. I decided to buy this one! 'Thanks for the Memories'. Hopefully, I'm going to love it just like I loved 'Where Rainbows End'.

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, ......

For One More Day



" But there was never, not for a moment, a question of trust between us.
If my mother said it, I believed it.

She wasn't easy on me, don't get me wrong. 
She smacked me. She scolded me. She punished me. 
But she loved me. She really did.
She love me falling off a swing set. 
She loves me stepping on her floors with muddy shoes. 
She loves me through vomit and snot and bloody knees.
She love me coming and going, at my worst and my best.

She had a bottomless well of love for me."
