Seeing things from a new perspective.

Imagine you are at KL International Airport, Malaysia.

While you're waiting for your flight, you notice a shop selling
shortbread cookies. You buy a box, put them in your travelling bag and then you patiently search for an available seat so you can sit down and enjoy your cookies. Finally you find a seat next to a gentleman. You reach down into your travelling bag and pull out your box of shortbread cookies.

As you do so, you notice that the gentleman starts watching you
intensely. He stares as you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you pick up the cookie and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches over and takes one of your cookies from the box, and eats it! You're more than a little surprised at this. Actually, you're at a loss for words. Not
only does he take one cookie, but he alternates with you. For every one cookie you take, he takes one.

Now, what's your immediate impression of this guy? Crazy? Greedy? He's got
some nerve? Can you imagine the words you might use to describe this man to your associates back at the office? Meanwhile, you both continue eating the cookies until there's just one left. To your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it. But then he does something unexpected. He breaks it in half, and gives half to you. After he's finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he leaves. You think to yourself, "Did this really happen?" You're left sitting there dumbfounded and still hungry.


So you go back to the shop and buy another box of cookies. You then
return to your seat and begin opening your new box of cookies when you glance down into your travelling bag. Sitting there in your bag is your original box of cookies -- still unopened.

Only then do you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had
reached into the other man's bag, and grabbed his box of cookies by mistake. Now what do you think of the man? Generous? Tolerant? You've just experienced a profound paradigm shift. You're seeing things from a new point of view.

Is it time to change your point of view?


Now, think of this story as it relates to your life. Seeing things from a
new point of view can be very enlightening. Think outside the box. Don't settle for the status quo.

Be open to suggestions.
Things may not be what they seem.

Have a great day. :)

This 2 week holiday is too damn short!!!
I just came back from Film IG camp, ONE night.
Then went over to pay homage to black-eminem-rapping-in-da-shower-yo. omfg I haven't touched basketball in 6 years. This amazing godlike
black-eminem-rapping-in-da-shower-yo rekindled my past, and that's not the only thing he helped me to realise :D :D . He's after all, black-eminem-rapping-in-da-shower-yo!!!!! AHH HEIL!!!

Way to go,
black-eminem-rapping-in-da-shower-yo!!!!
(Get a Grip, MUT!)

Yeah anyway, I didn't bathe for nearly 30 hours plus 3 hours of sweating and insect bites and bruises yayayaya but all's fine!!!

"OMG you look like an abused kid!!!" - Natz
Way to go, NATZ!!!

Garf lost his passionate belcher!!!

I had a whole list of shit to do in 2 weeks:

- Master Reason 3 basics
- Read up on various genres of
EDM
background/elements
- Read up on more psychology shiet
- Complete 2 tracks
- Prepare tracklist for prog trance/house mix
- Start on DMA (Stinkerella) Soundtrack
- Practice mixing techniques
- Practice vectoring
- Practice perspective drawings
- Pack my room
- Get bridesmaid gown
- Get well

I'm too shy to mention the completed tasks.

But yeah, getting bridesmaid gown is (my mother's) priority cuz my sister's getting married on 1st July.. kinda rushed ain't? There are 99 million more productive things to do and I have to get a fucking gown for formality's sake. Even sister said I could wear anyfing, why not a toga!? Or nothing but nipple tape and leaves? Church weddings are damn boring lah. Sigh.

My mother also another one;
Hear what she wants to hear,
See what she wants to see.

So many people like that, HA FOOOO!!!!!!

What's the point of asking for
my answer if you already have yours?

"just always out there testing everyone. tell me. direct. pls."

No prizes for guessing who asked this..
How am I supposed to answer this question?

I translate:
Q: "Relationships to you are just about testing everyone out right? Please be direct."

A: Technically, yah. Think about it. Even platonic friendships, don't say relationships, are like that what. You befriend someone to know the person better. If he/she turns out to be a bloody douchebag, then what's the point of remaining friends?

Likewise with courtship; if he/she's simply not your cuppa tea, it'll be pretty dumb to stay on and try to change the person for the (YOUR perception of) "better". In that case, he/she shouldn't even be trying to change, they just change. You will otherwise be a control freak, then I'd suggest you either leave the person or try teaching an amoeba lapdance. (okay that's random.)

Congrats to Ade for her typeface design;

My posts are getting damn long, sorly, YArly..
I've just been thinking a lot more than usual..


There are so SO SO many things to be thankful of, so stop lah Nel. Stop dragging me into your misery. It's not helping anyone, it's not making me feel any more guilty, neither is it helping you boost your ego. Seriously, enough is enough.

what's got friends like us got to do with what she wrote to you?
Friends and boyfriends are two pretty different people/ groups that we all hang out with sometime in life. We won't judge her on what she writes because everyone has their very highs and very lows. If you consider yourself a men, then you shouldn't even consider commenting here ya know.
