Money Museum

On the first of October 2013, my classmates and i went to the Bank Negara Malaysia Museum & Art Gallery as a field trip for my Dynamic Interactivity class. Museum & Art Gallery. I'm going to list down my thoughts and answers based on the questions on the handout that my lecturer gave to us to answer. The outside of the building. 1. What are the first few impressions you have towards the museum? Please describe. At first i thought...

Please Consume Your Beverage

So today, i met up with a bunch of high school friends. The plan was to meet up with Ks, S, Wl & Jw for dinner at Sunway Giza. Jw was the one who made the suggestion, which was quite surprising since we didn't see him a lot since high school (besides the meetup after the hot dog sales the same week, but that was just a one-time thing). You would NOT believe how long it took for the waiter to take this picture. Our smiles were frozen onto...

Single

Camp 5 feature built in the wall. Talk about brand identity!  So the highlight of my day was spending the day rock climbing at Camp 5 with my friends! Five of us went in total: Wl, A, Ks & Kn. This is only my third time rock climbing, but my first time going with my kampung friends.  It was Ks's first time, so we taught him the basics and everything, like the figure 8 knot and how the belay system works. However, only Kn could...

Filial Piety & Free Will

Sometimes it's hard to choose between pleasing your parents and fulfilling your own desires. At least, that's what i feel. Being brought up by Asian parents, all my life i've been taught to respect them and to do whatever they say. I, as a good child and daughter, should not question them, go against them or defy them. However, i am a somewhat rebellious teen, and i tend to question my parents decisions. I know i already have it quite easy compared...

Reach

Climbed for the first time today! But too bad i don't have any pictures. Was too preoccupied with the experience! Heheh. My high school friend & fellow dancer, D, decided to teach me as a favour for performing with B at the Law Ball his uni held about 2 weeks back. We didn't really perform well, but it was okay because none of the people there are dancers, so they didn't notice our major screw ups (i hope, heheh). So anyway, upon arriving Camp 5 @ One Utama, i had to fill in a form for their membership application (although i wasn't...

Trust

Trust is really hard to come by for me. I think it's not uncommon; trust is generally earned and not given. You need time for that. However, a mix of bad experience and unfortunate circumstances has rendered me incapable of trusting people very easily. Which can both be a good and bad thing. Good because it means i won't get hurt easily or fooled. Bad because i don't let anybody into my life and it's just hard to forge bonds overall.. Something interesting happened today at dance practice though. I managed to do something that i was really...

Dance

dance /dans/ Verb Move rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps: "their cheeks were pressed together as they danced". Noun A series of movements that match the speed and rhythm of a piece of music. Synonyms verb.  hop - leap noun.  dancing - hop That's the proper definition of dance. But they never mentioned how hazardous it is to your health! Ever since i started learning...

Backwards

So i've been keeping up with Internet Icon, and this was one of the finalist's videos by Matthias, which really struck a chord in me. I mean, at first i was intrigued by the catchy tune and amazing visuals, but when i actually listened to the lyrics, i realized that...i could really relate to it. And that's why i'm sharing it here, along with the lyrics. Backwards, forwards, I'm exploring the borders of, Everything I want, Everything I need, Lethal Doses, of my own emotions, Seep into my dreams, and Paralyze me, I pick myself...

Perfect

No. 5, 1948, by Jackson Pollock You see that painting up there? Get what it means? Well, i guess someone has to explain it to me if they do, because i sure as heck don't. It just seems like a lot of random splashes on a giant canvas to me. In fact, i don't think i get abstract art in general, because i'm a person that's so rooted in logic and reason. You know what's even more mindblowing? That painting above, sold for about $140 million, which...

Hospitals

I've never liked hospitals. I mean, i know that they're supposed to be a place of healing and caring for other people, and i know that doctors & nurses are always trying their best to treat the patients and try and make them comfortable, but somehow...i don't know. There's just this uneasy feeling that i get when i step into the hospital environment. I'd keep thinking of death and sickness and illness. I don't know why but i just automatically...

Inadequacy

in·ad·e·quate  /inˈadikwit/  Adjective1. Not adequate; lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose.2. (of a person) Unable to deal with a situation or with life: "inadequate to the task".  Synonymsinsufficient - unsuitable - inappropriate - unfit That's the textbook definition. What it DOESN'T tell you, is that when you FEEL inadequate, you feel like crap. No joke. I just feel somehow... that i'm not up to par. I don't know if i can do it. I don't know if i can keep up. I don't know if i can make...

Anxiety

This is actually a pretty awesome personification of anxiety. Coupled with the eerie soundtrack and literary words, it gives a pretty haunting feeli...

Hello, World!

Hello World.That's the traditional output for beginners learning programming, but i never noticed it until i started learning. I guess that's a prime example of how some people don't notice anything until it's staring right at their face. I mean, i've been a frequent user of the Internet since i was 10, and this has only been brought to my attention recently! Not that it's important or anything, but i do wonder what else i've missed along...

Thoughts

Sometimes, i overthink things. Okay, maybe not just sometimes. I overthink things a lot. And i know it's not healthy, and i know it's not good for me, because i tend to jump to conclusions and worry and let anxiety crash over me like this gigantic wave, sort of like an emotional tsunami? And when everything comes falling down in pieces, i lose my composure. But the thing is, i'm bringing it upon myself, aren't i? If i didn't think so much. If i didn't feel the need to worry or care about anything. Then, whatever happens, whether it be my fears...
