It's the end of the month

I look at the calender.

I look at myself and I wondered, have I achieved the things that I said I would through my resolutions, internship and minor projects that lead me to my goals? I could not have stressed it more, time flies. They do and when they do, you barely notice it. It's the end of the month already, I suppose I had been secured in a similar structure or pattern of lifestyle during the internship, decreasing the sensitivity towards time and increasing the agitation toward the traffic condition of Malaysia. I could do so much more, rather than sitting in the car for an hour to reach home. 

Am I learning anything? Perhaps, and I certainly hope so. I do conquer the fear I have with phone calls to strangers, although am still not liking it a single bit. I do realise that I got the tendency to use "actually" a lot when I am nervous. I do understand that working can only be meaningful once a purpose is establish. I do know what I want now, crystal clear. This does give me a proof on my choice on advertising, but will I do well in the following semesters? I have to make sure it will happen.

Looking at my results, to be honest, I am disappointed. It's not like it wasn't expected since my lecturer commented that he does not understand my English. The very first time, when you know what your lecturer is teaching, but no matter what you do, he just doesn't seem to like your answer; I can only sigh. 

Not quite sure whether I learnt anything so far, but it's all about perception anyway. 

It's the end of the month already and school will resume next month, and honestly? I am pretty excited. Not that I look forward to the group assignments, or uncertainties in the faculty, but I just want to make the best out of it, and make sure I could graduate with the minimum cost incurred. 

It's back to office tomorrow, damn.

Weekend

I understood the longing for the weekend recently, especially when you are trapped in the traffic jam for 5 days in the row.

The feeling is so great, to be able to wake up without the need of alarm clock and to be able to travel without the excessive number of cars on the road.

It is just that, the weekend feels awfully short in comparison.

What Would My 3D World be with LG Optimus 3D?



I am not quite sure what to expect, seriously.

It seems like LG had recently launched the LG Optimus 3D being one of the first 3D phones in the market which definitely revolutionized the entire mobile experience. Given the look at it, LG does not appear to be idle watching at the whole war between Samsung, iPhone, HTC and Blackberry. When they launch a phone, it better be good. Honestly I was pretty disappointed with the previous LG Ice Cream phone that I used during my 1 year student exchange program over there at Korea itself. The interface was difficult to navigate, the keys were hard to press and the screen is bloody small.

Well, of course, it had been 2 years since then. LG had nothing in their range of products which could impress me, other than the fridge which they do all so well.

And now, this?! A phone without the need of the 3D glasses? I am not quite sure whether I seen a TV without the need of the glasses yet. Seriously, I am diggin' this phone if the battery could actually last longer than this HTC Desire that I am using it right now. It's like bringing your laptop in your pocket now, isn't it? The problem is that, you have to bring along with your chargers to stay connected with the world.

But screw this, imagine Temple Run running on this phone.

Oh wait, [insert desperate face here].

Just Go


Life had been good, it had been really good and it should stay that way.
Things got complicated when people are being blinded by society’s perception of how you should live and they began to act like a self centered and egoistic bastards. One idiot triggers the rest around him to become just like him, because it is just not advantageous enough to be kind and good anymore. It escalated like a snow ball and the world stopped at its feet as the people living inside stop being themselves. Living zombies, trying to survive, were thinking that they are actually alive.

Being alive is more than that, it’s about being yourself and experiencing life at its best. One needs to remove himself from the cycle, stop taking advices from the social conventions and truly live to experience another place, people and things around you. Don’t think so much, escape from the seat of death and give yourself a change to see, feel and experience. Life is so much more than that, please do not ever restrict yourself at the very same spot, telling yourself that it is impossible or worst still, you cannot do it. Go travel, just pack your bag and go. Let yourself breathe and take a random chance, who knows what awaits you and you might discover something that you never thought you will. Do something that scares you, it's okay to be afraid. But trust me, it feels SO good when you conquered it all.

Give yourself a chance and just go.

Stop giving yourself excuses and try to rationalize a reason to go. Remove from the cycle, remove from the familiar places around you, remove from people that you love, just for a little while. No problem, there are WiFi everywhere anyways. Take lots of pictures, take a random leap, take an exciting trip.

Just go.

Internship

It seems like I'm stuck in a constant position, fully exploited with minimum wages. The desire to run away is so great that I doubted myself again. Had been through this, why can't I just go all out? It's just a telephone. True, I might not be learning anything at all for the time being, but I believe human relationship might be a different investment all together. Well, it seems like what I say is not important and required. Am I going to shut up and just let it go? Will I learn at the end of the day? I am not quite sure, but what I know is that I will not let myself give up just like that. It will all work out fine, it will. I believe it will because it is all about perceptions anyway. I don't have to be unhappy and I don't have to make myself miserable. I don't have to.
