Spices in life

Spicy Pork & Beef Ramen at Ramen Yoshino Shokudo, Midvalley 

First time going to this japanese restaurant and order this spicy ramen. After the first sip of the soup, I fall in love with the ramen. The texture of the ramen is just nice! What more to say about the soup? 

Having some spices in life is just good enough to boost up the happiness level. I was discussing about which is important - relationship? career? family? or friend? with a friend just now. 

At the end, we did not manage to come up with the first priority. For him, every one of the criteria is important and should be worked hard toward balancing each of them. For me, besides family and friend, career comes next and lastly relationship. Honestly, this is very hard to decide as it is very subjective depending on the person him or herself. 

Some might perceive that with a successful and rewarding career, you will be able to bring better fortune and happiness for the love ones. Not just that, some might consider putting career as the first priority as it lets them feel that their lives are more meaningful and challenging as they can always work harder to archive better prospect and performance. However, one can think that even with a super high income and successful career, but you do not have a wonderful relationship or a happy and supportive family; you will become no one at the end of the day!

No matter which one you prefer as your priority, I believe there is always a reason behind what you have chosen throughout the pathway in your life. Good or bad? Happy or sad? Simple or complicated? There is not that important as long you think what you choose is the best for you.

曾经拥有的美

~去年学校假期回家乡时拍的粉红玫瑰~

我不喜欢种花，也不会种花；但是，我喜欢花， 喜欢花香。而我最喜欢粉红色的玫瑰了！

很多年前，看过一部戏，戏里说到在六月二十四日生日的女孩，属于她的花就是粉红玫瑰了。不知为何，我就此喜欢了粉红色的玫瑰。我知道我的个性并不太像个斯文的女孩子，但是，我还是很喜欢和花有关系的东西。就好像拥有花香的香水，花的耳环，也喜欢画花。 

第一次收到花时，它也是一朵粉红色的玫瑰。当时，感觉很幸福，因为我感觉到了爱。 不只是爱，也感觉到了关怀和真诚。那朵玫瑰，虽然凋谢了，但是，我仍然把它收了起来。过去的事，虽然过去，但是，回忆永远都停留在那。就算结果并不完美，至少我拥有过那美丽的回忆。有句名句说到 “不在乎天长地久，只在乎曾经拥有”。生命的长短，我们都没有答案，所以，只有努力活着，为自己创造美好的回忆，等到老去的那一天，至少我们可以毫无遗憾的离去。

有个人，曾经告诉过我，“玫瑰很美，但是，它有很多刺; 南瓜不美，但是，它有非常丰富的营养” 形容得很好对不对？再美的玫瑰，也有凋谢的一天；再美好的事情，也有画上句号的一刻。甚至说过这句话的那个人，也一样变了。这一刻给与的承诺，也有变质的一天，所以，不要理直气壮的承诺，当你知道你做得到时，才给与那神圣的承诺吧。这不是消极，这只是认真地考虑过事情也有变化的一天。

虽然玫瑰有刺，不过还是很喜欢它的美与独特。生活里，唯一不变的就是变；生命的精彩取决于我们，让它变得独一无二。现在拥有的人事物，也许有天他们会离我而去，不过没关系，我会好好珍惜曾经拥有的回忆。也许今天你对我非常非常好，但是，我没有把握未来的有一天，你依然如此。生命有太多的变数，所以，我会像喜欢玫瑰一样，好好珍惜它的独特；至少我不会后悔因为我曾经拥有过。因为，生命依然要过，曾经拥有过，也很美丽。

“活在当下，珍惜现在，曾经拥有是美好的”

Blueberry Cheesecake

Blueberry Cheesecake from Starbucks, Genting Highland 

Me and my friend drove to Genting so suddenly without any plans yesterday night. The purpose was just to get a cup of Cafe Latte and a piece of cake in the cold weather. =.=

However, it was really a great outing. The weather in Genting was superb nice and comforting. Walking in the soothing weather with cold wind, I was like "OMG!! Its so cold!! But I love it!!" I saw lots of people happily walking around with their partners, their families and so many of us cramped inside Starbucks throughout the night.

Immersed myself in the cold wind, enjoyed the starry night and the accompany of a friend to chit chat for the whole night that we crapped nonsense, shared our thoughts and perceptions about lives, work, family and friends; one word can be used to describe the situation was "Great"!

In some part of our lives, having the chance to do something out of the norms is very fun and meaningful. You never know what will happen in the next second, what more to say about future? However, we must always live according to plans and dreams. Just like when we are working hard towards certain things we look forward for, the succeed is great, but the process of working towards the success is the best! Without the process, there will never be success.

Smiling with my Baby

Smiling with my baby, a pink rabbit <3

This morning, I woke up superb early just to attend my very first formal yoga class! Normally, it is very hard to ensure myself to wake up at 6am but NOT for today! As I was feeling so excited, I woke up so easily just to attend the yoga class. Personally like Yoga pretty much and used to practice it on my own. However, the chance to learn directly form teacher who comes from India has come. Hence, I should be more attentive towards it. 

Recently, besides than working hard for my career. I am also very hard-working just to attend gym and yoga! I feel very fresh and energetic each time after the work out session. Mentally and physically, I am getting more and more energetic and young! XD 

Sometimes, life is not just about work as there is a lot more things to be taken care of. Having a balance lifestyle is pretty much important nowadays in order to sustain our mental and physical health. Putting aside work, I am enjoying my life in exercising, socialising with friends and colleagues. Of course, time for myself too. 

Living the presence is the most precious thing that we can give to ourselves. Putting full effort in the work that I am doing, showing full attention to those I care and loving myself more gives me the feeling that I am still very useful in my life! I appreciate every single seconds that I have now. What about you?

Living a life like enjoying a cup of coffee I love

My double latte at Delicious when I went for tea time with my colleagues <3

My baby cino at Dome for a coffee session with a friend of mine <3

Recently, my schedule is superb packed with activities. I went for gym after work, went out for dinner with colleagues, chilling around with friends who came over to KL and most significantly, I went for the orientation as volunteer with PT Foundation today's afternoon. 

Not knowing what is PT Foundation? Here is the link : PT Foundation

Thankful for being having this chance to meet with new people from different age level, different career and different background! Really enjoy interacting with them, getting to know more about their lives and their stories. It was such an amazing experience I can say! Although I am still not sure whether I will have the chance to be involved in most of the volunteer jobs or not, I will try my best to be as helpful as I can! The communities need their people to help, care, listen, support and be non-judgemental to them! 

People like drug users, sexual workers, transgenders and those minorities, they are humans whom we have to be respectful as well! Do you think they choose to do so? Yes, you may think like this as the stigmatization and stereotyping among us is just too serious to be reduced. Somehow, life is just to pathetic that they have no choice but to do so. This is a very personal point of view from myself and I am sure everyone has your own thoughts and perspective over this matters. 

However, at the end of the day, what I wish to is just to contribute what I have and what I can to those who need it. Life is not about ourselves only but the interaction with people around. Not only limited to those you know but to those who you will never know too. Being able to contribute by just lending an ear is more than enough!

Life can be very short and there is time that we should sit down and pounder about what we really want for ourselves. When the time I am going to inhale my last breath comes, I would like to see that I manage to brighten up lives surrounding me. What about you?

Cranberry Juice

Cranberry Juice <3

Went out with colleagues just now after work. For the first time, I have this chilling session with colleagues after a long week of working hard!

We ordered beers and food but this time, I am very good girl cause I drank my cranberry juice instead of beer XD

It was great to go out chilling with each other, chit chatting and talking nonsense not just as colleagues but friends. Looking forward for a better and contented journey ahead...

"Beer is nice to drink, so as Cranberry Juice!"
