Real happiness can't be bought with money

As overrated as this sounds like to you, ladies & gents, it's true that genuine happiness can't be simply bought with dollars, cash, credit cards. It's seen in movies, heard in speeches and conversations and many more. Yes, perhaps, it may be helpful to you in terms of providing the temporary happiness as you wish like for instance, getting you the dream car/ cellphone/ expensive branded items and so on.
However, what I mention here, it's the "GENUINE HAPPINESS" that can't just simply be bought with money.

Today, I saw something that absolutely amazed me. A gas seller who drives a lorry daily around to deliver cooking gases to citizens and households. What amazed me so much was the happiness he carried internally and externally. When I looked at the smile on his face, something hit me. I began to realize that it is true.. "money can't buy you pure happiness." ; being rich doesn't make you happy. Also, that inspired me a lot. I mean like, even him as an ordinary person can be so happy, so why can't us?

I've also realized that society has shaped mankind to be materialistic. They often work so hard and unintentionally abandon or neglect their loved ones. At the end of the day, what do you benefit? Yes, you may earn enough income to pay off your expenses and to able to afford the things that you want, but it certainly can't buy you the quality time with your family and important ones in your life. Well, of course, neither can poverty buy happiness. It's good to have a decency of income, not too high and too low. I'd say, balanced.

Anyway, agree or disagree. No hatred guys. It's based on my own opinions and point of view.
Thanks for reading my blog, guys. Have a nice day ahead.

Late night thoughts

Hi, it's Saturday, 2:56am here to be exact. I'm wide awake right now and I feel hungry too. I want to eat something but I'm afraid of getting fat. I get extra hungry watching Gordon Ramsay's homecook food videos on YouTube.. Maybe I should stop. Okay. Stop.
So, what's on my mind? Nothing much. Just online, watching some YouTube videos and searching for some freelance jobs to attend. So far, I have sent in my profile to certain jobs but unfortunately, I'm still not receiving any feedback. The worst thing is, it's the middle of May right now. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to work to earn some pocket money. Gotta keep the faith, I guess.

Also, another thing is, my lecturer has started to give out some assignment for us to submit on week 2, after the semester starts. It's a campaign assignment. Such a kill joy. *heart sinks*

 I feel like my semester break ain't as enjoyable as how I expected it to be. In fact, I am starting to worry about groups and subjects for next semester. I'm feeling quite insecure and worried right now. Hopefully, it will be good to me. *gulps* Some Maslow's Hierarchy of motivation is needed, though.

Sucks to be in my position right now.

Alright, time to sleep.. I should stop overthinking by now. 

Goodnight folks. 

#SHOUTOUT Happy mother's day

It's 11th of May, which means it is Mother's Day!

A big shoutout to all the wonderful mothers out there, Happy Mother's Day! May all the awesome mum in the universe be blessed and be helped with love, kindness, peace & luck.
My best wishes to y'all. :)

Mum & Grannie. Two of my favorite ladies on earth. x

My thoughts and wishes

Good afternoon, my fellow friends and lovelies! It's saturday today. Any wonderful plans today, guys? So, apparently I just distributed two of my chicken pies to my friend earlier. She said they looked amazing but I'm waiting for her feedback on the taste. Hope it will be good. *fingers crossed* teehee!
Anyway lovelies, I have been having plenty of thoughts lately. I noticed that people tend to hold grudges and hatred whenever someone did something wrong to them. I mean, the more grudges you hold, that's when you become negative and pessimistic. You tend to hate on every single action that the person do or perform. Am I right? I believe that everyone should be forgiven and grudges should be let go if hold. When you let go, that's when you move on and become better, more positive and calmed.

Moreover, I have noticed that many people actually talk big, but the actions contradict. For instance, "I will be there when you need me.. etc" I mean like, if you know that you're not gonna do as what you say, just don't say anything or promise things, because chances are, you're giving others big expectations, and the sad part is when it leads to massive disappointments. I have experienced or encountered this for a number of times. I have no idea why some people just like to say things they won't do, just to please others. Please don't. It's unhealthy. It actually hurts the other parties that actually decode the messages you send, like a lot, seriously okay.

Oh yeah guys! I have been wondering whether I should get myself a DSLR camera because it will not only provide high quality pictures when I selfie or take nice scenery. In fact, it will actually also be useful to me in assignments and college, especially in my advertising major field. I need high quality videos for assignments. But unfortunately, my current financial statement forbids me to purchase it. I need work! I will get a job soon and work hard for what I want. My wishlist - DSLR & a car for my own. Yeah, it would cost me a bomb if I were to purchase it right now. I have one month of sem break, so hopefully I will spend it wisely.

That's about it for now.. I will be heading to my relative's house to celebrate mother's day. I am pretty excited to reunite with them once again and hopefully, they will enjoy my chicken pie later. Okay, have a good Saturday guys. Party hard and enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Best regards, x. 

Greetings

So hi, it's semester break, finals over and it is the time of my life. Yes, the time of mah laife nigga. Semester break is so fun and amazing because I get to do whatever I want. Sleeping late is one of the holiday routines and it brings a lot of damage to my health and eyes. Yes, I know, it's bad but I still do it anyway. So the first week of sem break was good. I did a couple of memorable things and one of them was attending my aunt's wedding and be one of her bridesmaids. I felt so happy for my aunt because after 30 years of her life, she finally found someone and got married.
Frankly speaking, she had went through all the bad stages before getting married. She got cheated and deceived by many guys before this. But let's focus on the positive side, she's finally MARRIED. Just felt so glad for her!

 The wedding was simple yet at the same time, elegant and classy. I wore a traditional chinese cheong sam to her wedding dinner and it felt amazing because I hadn't wore that outfit for almost a year. To be honest, I actually gained weight before this and I was chubby. The cheong sam could barely even fit on me when I got chubby. Thank god I lost weight. I mean like seriously, that bad. But after months of avoiding supper and also due to college stress, I lost quite a number of weight. I am grateful of the way I am currently, and I certainly won't take it for granted and return to my old supper routine.

The cheong sam that I wore the other night.

Okay back to the original topic. So far, I really enjoyed the food and dishes that were served in the restaurant, and also catching up with my long-lost relatives and cousins. It was kinda awkward at first because we did not meet each other for quite some time, our mindset changed and we grew older. But after several attempts to break the "super thick layer" of ice, I started to feel the awkwardness fading and we laughed so much at the little jokes we shared. I guess it's pretty normal, huh? Like not seeing certain people for a long time and suddenly reunite back and things get pretty awkward...
We even took quite a number of pictures with all the hilarious gestures and poses. One of my favorite pictures was the one doing the "what" expression. I actually laughed when I re-looked at it back.

THIS ONE! My favorite picture.

WOW, seriously guys, look at the time. It freaking flies! Last week I was so anticipated to attend her wedding and now it's all over, just like that. I believe that my sem break will be over soon too. But oh well, let's not talk about college and assignments, I wanna enjoy my sem break before heading back to all the stress and difficult exams..
Okay, I'm done updating about wedding. Next, I will update you guys about my activities for yesterday.. I woke up at 4pm (yes I slept at 6am..it's crazy), made some delicious pie for le family, relatives, friends, and boyfie. I can't wait for them to taste it tomorrow! Just hopefully they will like it. So far, my mum and bro have tried them. They told me the pie tasted yummy and my mum even told me it felt as if like the pie was bought from some bakery shops. Okay, yes you're right, I was so flattered and ALL THE CLOUD 9 MOMENTS.. the end.
To sum it all up, I baked 20+ pie. It was all mini chicken pot pie and easy to be carried and served. I was quite satisfied with the compliments made by mum and bro and now.. I'm waiting for others to provide wonderful feedback. TEEHEEEEE (inspired by Ryan Higa)

 First batch. TADA!

 Second batch. WEEEE!

 3rd batch! WOOHOOOO.

All packed and ready to be distributed later!

 Notice the love shape in the middle? Teehee. Specially made for my baby.

Have you smiled today? Have a nice day today. Thanks for reading my blog. x
