My Secret Fantasy Of Living Off The Grid

I have this secret fantasy of living off the grid.

You know, like to disappear and living or doing something without people knowing. Unnoticed, incognito, anonymous. No paper trail, no electronic trail.

Totally untraceable.

Preferably in a lush jungle, on a mountain, where it's covered by mist every morning.

No, it's not like I have massive debts or hutang along that I have to run away from society.

It's just that I have this desire to be incognito. I guess being an introvert has something to do with this.

We live in a world where we are constantly watched and monitored. With the advancement of technology, we are easily reachable.

I remembered the good old days without handphones or smartphones, life was so much simpler back then.

Nowadays, your boss can even WhatsApp you at 12am and demand you to reply, even though it's out of the working hours.

Technology has allowed work to permeate into our personal time and life.

Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't completely disappear or go off the grid. Well, unless you are dead and I'm in no rush for that.

Whenever I'm on a break or thinking of places to go for a break, I'll always gravitate towards places where I can disconnect from the world. Places where people cannot reach me.

No phone lines, no internet, no connectivity. Not a peep.

Why am I like diss?!?

Am I the only one feeling this constant desire to disconnect? Ataupun sebenarnya, CPPS adalah seekor monyet yang suka tinggal di dalam hutan dan sering terpanggil untuk pulang ke habitat sebenar?

#prayforcpps

While most people immediately become anxious from this lack of connectivity with the world, I become calmer.

Some say they don't know what to do with all the void, which is often filled by the internet and social media.

I definitely could not relate to this problem. There is so much to do! You know, like sleep, or reading, cooking, baking, gardening, taking a walk, writing, some mini DIY projects, and stuff.

All my favourite thing in a picture

Maybe it's my personality? Maybe because of aging syndrome that I appreciate solitude more now.

Albert Einstein even said "Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature"

I'm not against the internet and technology.

It's a great tool if you use it responsibly. However, let's be reminded that technology has a power-off button. And the wisest of us know when to use 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.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan?

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE . So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed. Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
