mental block.
grr.
i have something to write about but couldn't materialise it on a paper ( / Word doc).
so i'm just internet walking browsing through random stuff.
wanted to check out some vids on Youtube been dying to do my research about a certain people / song recommended by people but yeah.
campus' wifi says no.
my brain (heart?) is like 'tadaa' with ideas but i think the neurons connecting my thoughts to my fingers aren't functioning today.
so yeah.
lemme just talk about my fav people on the net. ho. (boredom strikes again, that's why. haha!)
source of inspiration:
mostly from FB pages. i'm drawn to poetry so my newsfeed is filled with them. i love:
Lang Leav
Alpha (c)
Serephina the Siren
Writer Jay Long
Button Poetry
Michael Faudet
Maya Angelou

ChrisCrocker (omg this guy is like the most random guy ever!)
JennaMarbles
Buzzfeed
Jared Singer
ianandlarissa (:'))))
anddd i don't have the mood to type anymore. haha. but yeah.
wanted to share this piece i discovered just now.
a simple one but crazy profound!
Perfect Ending
Under the glow of a corner streetlight
an old man stares into the dark heavens
thinking back on his life
the joy he shared
the hearts he broke
the tears he cried
the smiles he couldn’t contain
during moments of pure bliss
thankful for each one
for every choice that turned him
down paths he never thought to take
grasping on to a notebook
each page filled with miles
from days he thought would never end
the laughter and love created with his words
one simple thought wouldn’t leave his mind
somewhere in his travels
had he made a difference
when he finally left this world
would he be remembered as a poem or a poet

and here's a random picture. good day, people. aha! |
took another personality test. three times. hahahahah! the first one, i got ISFP, the second INFP. both with borderline S/N scores. so i guess the third one is the most accurate?
spiking boredom. yikes.
Once there was a tree....
and she loved a little boy.
And everyday the boy would come
and he would gather her leaves
and make them into crowns
and play king of the forest.
He would climb up her trunk
and swing from her branches
and eat apples.
And they would play hide-and-go-seek.
And when he was tired,
he would sleep in her shade.
And the boy loved the tree....
very much.
And the tree was happy.
But time went by.
And the boy grew older.
And the tree was often alone.
Then one day the boy came to the tree
and the tree said, "Come, Boy, come
and
climb up my trunk
and swing from my
branches
and eat apples
and play in my
shade
and be happy."
"I am too big to climb and play" said
the boy.
"I want to buy things
and have fun.
I want some money?"
"I'm sorry," said the tree,
"but I
have no money.
I have only leaves and apples.
Take my apples, Boy,
and sell them in
the city.
Then you will have money
and
you will be happy."
And so the boy climbed up the
tree
and gathered her apples
and carried them away.
And the tree was happy.
But the boy stayed away for a long time....
and the tree was sad.
And then one day the boy came back
and the tree shook with joy
and she said, "Come, Boy, climb up my trunk
and swing from my branches
and be happy."
"I am too busy to climb trees," said the boy.
"I want a house to keep me warm," he said.
"I want a wife
and I want children,
and so I need a house.
Can you give me a house ?"
" I have no house," said the tree.
"The forest is my house,
but you may cut off
my branches
and build a house".
Then you will be happy."
And so the boy cut off her branches
and carried them away to build his house.
And the tree was happy.
But the boy stayed away for a long time.
And when he came back,
the tree was so happy
she could hardly speak.
"Come, Boy," she whispered,
"come and play."
"I am too old and sad to play,"
said the boy.
"I want a boat that will
take me far away from here.
Can you give me a boat?"
"Cut down my trunk
and make a boat," said the tree.
"Then you can sail away...
and be happy."
And so the boy cut down her trunk
and made a boat
and sailed away.
And the tree was happy
...
but not really.
And after a long time
the boy came back again.
"I am sorry, Boy,"
said the tree,
" but I have nothing
left to give you -
My apples are gone."
"My teeth are too weak
for apples," said the boy.
"My branches are gone,"
said the tree.
" You
cannot swing on them - "
"I am too old to swing
on branches," said the boy.
"My trunk is gone, " said the tree.
"You cannot climb - "
"I am too tired to climb" said the boy.
"I am sorry," sighed the tree.
"I wish that I could give you something....
but I have nothing left.
I am just an old stump.
I am sorry...."
"I don't need very much now," said the boy.
"just a quiet place to sit
and rest.
I am very tired."
"Well," said the tree,
straightening
herself up as much as she could,
"well, an old stump is good for sitting
and resting.
Come, Boy, sit down. Sit down and rest."
And the boy did.
And the tree was happ.y
The Daze
do you feel better now? when the promised stars are now nothing but a pile of debris. could you taste the freedom now? when the titanium cuff sets you free with a loud thud on the keeper's left chest. would you take your leave and soar home now? when the place is but a diminishing ruins.
do you feel better now that your chokechain has been released?
do you feel me now?
-y.n
shalom.
think i'm self absorbed? well, everyone is, someway somehow. :p
so,
1. i love being dependent. to Him. people say i'm very strong but i hate it that they think so.
2. i am super clumsy. always knock over stuffs even in my room. cost me loads of scars and bruises. yuck.
3. i LA-HUV eating. i don't take meals. i just eat all day long. which explains my weight and stretchmarks. yuck yuck yuck. :(
4. i was once fair. now i am dark because i play sports. i love sports but really despise my sunburnt, dark and dull skin.
5. i am secretly romantic.
6. i'd rather keep my opinion to myself than being honest. i hate the idea of hurting others.
7. i love books. i must have books or at least a book on my bed, study table, table in teacher's office, bag & going-out bag. basically i must have one at reach. Current craze are Love & Misadventure and The Cinderella Rule. been rereading them again and again cause they're very good! and cause i am broke. hahaha.
8. i am always secretly wanting to become a novelist. i wrote some half-way piece but yeah, i have issues in having the commitment to finish them. so i write here. hahaha.
9. i am very terrible in handling horror movie.
10. i adore Cristiano Ronaldo, Remy Ishak, David Archuleta, Lee Seung Gi, Brooke Fraser and Amy Lee. i do not fall into the bandwagon of becoming celebrity's die-hard-fans but i like them because they have this charming attitude and smile. and also they are very good in what they are doing.
11. i am very terrified of big dogs. i had Suri once but she died. one day i was chased by a larggge dog and thus, i'll be all panicking and sometimes crying when i see one. huh.
12. i love watching hardcore comedy like Munahhirzi and New Girl and Hot Cleveland.
13. when i feel extremely, i am capable of writing philosophical pieces. hahhahahaha!
14. i will always be socially awkward. i feel hard to fit in or belong to some group.
15. no matter what people do to me, i am always able to forgive them. i will feel very very very sad but life is for loving, is it not?
16. imma proud self-proclaimed sweet tooth.
17. imma tea person.
18. i was awarded state's best debater. this is my biggest pride so far. but don't expect me to go around acting all diva. i just am not a fighter anymore. i don't understand why people would hurt other people. does it make them feel better about themselves? i believe in loving my enemy because they play crucial roles in my life. they note us our mistakes and make us want to do and be better.
19. i was not really close with my family. my siblings and i fought all the time and my parents were very strict with me. now, i wish mom would talk with me all day & we'd bake cakes every day, i wish dad would be around more and be healthier than he is now and my siblings are my biggest supporters.
20. i love shopping for books, food and dresses.
the end.
Shalom.
Growing up my siblings and i didn't really have toys. I remember Dad bought us dolls one each and that was it. In the 90's my family depended on Dad's mere RM800 pay and we lived just by having the basics. So the doll, mine was one of the Seven Dwarves. It was the size of an adult's head. It was maybe the emotionless one. bisi ka??? haha whatev. I loved to comb it's beard and sometimes trimmed it in case it got messy or too long. sillyhead, i am. It was my favorite toy because it was the only one i had.
Even though it was the only toy i had, back then we didn't really need toys to play with. With my friends, we could collect leaves, sticks, old can and kulat mata babi by Dayu Ingit river, played masak-masak with them and still had the time of our lives. Sometimes we'd just climb trees and / or went into bamboo plant (cos they grow in bunch) to play police and thieves. We took a handful of sands and mixed it with clay, buried it under the ground a few days and then we made them wrestle. Owning the sand ball that managed to win these matches was our greatest pride. Sometimes we would uproot a grass (yes you ipad gen, we could play with just grass), tied it by the ends and connected them with other's tied grass. We would pull and pull it until one of the grass was torn. We'd shave rampu betu's flesh (large cucumber, the orange ones) and let them float in the river to mimic sampans. We'd go to the river and play all kinds of games that involved swimming, jumping from cliffs and making castles / dam / little fish, crab and baby shrimp pond at the riverbed. Oh, oh we caught them with our little hands and shirt you know.
These are my treasured memories. What a life... To have fun, we don't have to spend thousands of ringgit notes. If we care enough to look around; and look closely, we could discover happiness- everywhere and in every form. It's free. It's always there for us to find, and claim.
For me, Happiness is to be always grateful of what we have, even with what we don't have.
