You Are Perfectly Imperfect

Happy girls are the prettiest - Audrey Hepburn
How many times have you wondered if you can change certain physical attributes of yourself? 

Wishing you have bigger eyes, hidung mancung, V-shape face, longer legs, curvy body, bigger boobs and butt. Or wishing you are taller. 

The list is endless. We are never satisfied with the way we look and we always compare ourselves to others. 

If only I'm as pretty/smart/tall as her. 

Somehow we attached our physical look to the acceptance and love from others. Thinking that people will love you more if you are prettier. When you expect love from an external source, and someone or something does not fulfill your void and fantasies, then you will feel worse than before. 


We sometimes stop being ourselves in the hope that someone will love us. 


If I do this, he/she will like me. 

I'm too quiet, maybe if i talk and laugh louder someone will like me. 

Don't do that. 

You are unique and special because you are YOU. The only person you have to become is a better version of yourself. 
We all have different gifts and talents. Embrace your gifts. Often times, something that we don't like about ourselves is what made you attractive. 

Maybe you don't like how your eyes crinkled when you laugh or smile but that's what made you, you. It's uniquely you. And believe me, somebody finds it endearing and loved it. 

Like myself, believe it or not, I'm not in love with my forehead. Luas gila sampai kapal terbang pun boleh landing atas tu.

And someone said "Love and accept it. It's what made you beautiful."

And I'm not in love with my most prominent birthmark either, tahi lalat yang besar gedabak di tepi dahi iols yang selalu iols cuba tutup dengan rambut.

But someone said "Hey, you've got a mole there which I never noticed before. It's beautiful."

If you believe you are beautiful, the person in the mirror will be beautiful. 


If you focus on what others hate about you, that is all you will see. People will not notice your flaws until you mentioned it to them.

There was this guy I once knew, A. He has a close friend, B, who's better looking and more successful than he is. 


A was always saying girls don't like him because he's not handsome, dark skinned and was always comparing himself to B. 

What he didn't know was, he is attractive in his own ways. And knowing both of them, A is much more gentleman, kind, humble, down to earth and is a sweet person compared to B. 

And that I found endearing. 

Like I said before, being physically attractive is not hard. Some people are even born with it. 


Being soulfully beautiful is the real challenge. No one is born with it. It has to be nurtured and learned over time. 

Stop wishing who you are not and start loving who you are. You are perfect just the way you are, flaws and all. And Bruno Mars knows it.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
