~A Step Further~

Nothing much really happened last month but one thing for sure, it was the opening of another door towards my future.

I've landed myself a full scholarship offer from Maybank. :) *I'm so grateful*

The view from the Maybank building. :)

Love food, love life and appreciate every opportunities given to you. :)

Everything seems to be flashing across my eyes in the speed of a light. For one moment, I was rushing through the application and at the next moment, phone calls starts coming in and I had to go through assessments after assessments. It all happened in March. All in just one month. And to begin with, my WACE ATAR score was nowhere near excellent and I have absolutely no idea how I actually got through. Face to face interview, Apprentice Assessments.. how much I hope I knew what the examiners saw in me, something which I didn't see. Then everything starts bottling up, I feel so pressured up by sudden. My mom starts talking to me differently, my sister telling me how proud she was of me and all that.. but yet, I felt.. lost. All I know is that for now, maintaining my results for every papers I take would be the top priority. Which is not so bad. But it's the fear of my ability to pace up to the rising expectations that I'm bound to face. It's as if like someone has just thrown me a big sack of water balloons, so fragile and let me decide what I want to do with them. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, a quote that I must keep close to myself at all times. Aaaaah.. Have faith YUN! You can do this. :)

The last thing that I ever want to do is to fail myself. My family. And the hope of those on me. Gotta keep believing in myself. *Ooooossshhhh~~*

Alright, planning is nothing without action. I desperately need to upgrade my past revision schedule, by turning it into an every day habit. Time's not on my side. I'll have to work extra harder to chase it back during these last 2 weeks of holidays to pick up the UK's Accounting Syllabus, in order to get into the same pace as everyone right at the start of class. So.. eheheheh.. Wui Teng, I be waiting for you to come back home from class every day! :)

I'll never forget my promise to you too, Shanine. :)

Or.. if you don't want to do something properly, might as well, don't start doing it at all yeah? :)

Sharing an enlightening quote that I got from a friend:

" Heart is the start to everything. 
                      If you have the heart, you will succeed. "


Above, is a realization that has already appeared deep within us, the moment we know what to expect from others and ourselves. However, we tend to forget our lines the moment situations become so messed up but one thing for sure.. there will always be someone around us to remind us that. Nice, ain't it? :)

To be constantly reminded that we should always be on the right track.
To be constantly reminded that we must not lose out for any chances in sight.
To be constantly reminded that we are the warriors of today for tomorrow, for the future.
Since things can be pretty challenging these days, so, most of the time, it's centered only around doing the right thing.
And doing important things is the right thing.

But sometimes, it's not just about putting all you heart into doing 'important' things. Important things that can get you all the A's that you want, climb the corporate ladder or earn the fattest cheque that everybody is stepping all over onto each other for..

It's about using your heart in doing things that makes
every single day in your life counts.

And one good thing about that? It's so simple to do because it's pretty flexible. :) You don't need any detail planning or whatsoever. Do something that you've been longing to do, or something that puts a smile on other people's face or.. ahh.. you'll know when you see it. (Don't cheat by thinking going to school earlier or finishing up your schoolwork means the same anyhow because it's n-o-t. :P Responsibilities and personal wants are two d-i-f-f-e-r-e-n-t things.) ENJOY yourself and make every day in your life worthwhile, even if it's just a simple action. Good things don't have to be complicated isn't it? :)

P.s.: Notice that I highlighted the the word ENJOY? Means you don't have to be all so noble and stuff. *Teehee*
Three words: Make it memorable. :)

Don't forget your smile! :)

If you think that what people first eye on about a person is physical beauty, then you're right.
True, it's something that we all cannot deny because our eyes see before we can hear.
But then judgement comes in quick because the more attractive someone is on the outside, the more eager will that other person is to approach to know you better. Uhh.. uhh..
Haha.. :)
Well, no doubt, physical beauty is important because it gives out your first impression. It's like a bonus. But it's personal grooming that will bring you even further. Not exactly on what you wear but how you wear yourself. Ever encountered someone who looks really fierce on the outside but surprisingly, you have this general feeling that he's a very understanding person the moment you speak to him. Why?

Because it's all written in his eyes.

They said that females have stronger intuition levels than males. Maybe? But that's not the whole point. To judge someone entirely based on how they appears to you is a lost to yourself because you're not being fair to yourself by allowing your eyes to influence how you think. But to take the initiative to approach that person fairly and to sincerely understand him is a gain because when our brain and heart collaborate, it couldn't be wrong. People don't love you entirely based on what you look, but on how you appeared to be like to them. On how you are to them. It doesn't matter if you're ugly, fat, thin, or short because all these will change in time, it always does, through hard work. You just got to be yourself and let the beauty in you shines out like the sun. If someone's not appreciating you because you weren't attractive enough, screw it. You know your values and what you deserve to have. This is your life, you don't live for people. You live only for yourself and people who cares. People who see the true beauty in you alright? :)

Equally beautiful as the word "ME". Sure makes you sounds perasan tho.. But who cares? :)


~ Thoughts of the Day 11 ~

Dearest Buddha,


Thank you for all that you gave me.
For all the love I was blessed with.
For all the tough obstacles that I managed to get through.
For all the lessons I learnt in life.
For all the times you stood by me.
For the talent I was gifted put into good use.
For letting me fall repeatedly into the arms of those who care and rise one step further using my arms and feet.
For all the imperfections I have so I can explore deeper into myself.
For all the great opportunities that rises as I progress.
For my past that made me into who I am today.
I'm deeply blessed to wake up to a beautiful morning every day.
And for even allowing me to stumble into him, I'm truly grateful.


If there's anything I can hope for right now, at this moment, is for him to have a slumber sleep every night. If an exchange is needed.. I'm willing to have all his nightmares instead, knowing he is soundly asleep. For the person who holds my world, I'm more willing to withstand anything than to know he's troubled by our distance and uncertainties. Because I really love him.
This silly monkey.


Thank you.. :)


To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

Pressure pressure. You'll be ok with it. If you don't trust yourself, at least trust the people who trust themselves to trust you.

Maybe after that, that big sack of water balloons won't be a burden anymore, but it'd start to become an opportunity. A chance for you to make a difference.

Keep going gal. You may not know why people around you are proud of you for whatever reason it may be, but know that they see something good in you that you just can't quite see with yourself no matter how hard you look.

Stop wondering. Thank them for the support and just leap out there at you chance, with your big sack of water balloons ^^

Opportunities don’t happen, you create them. Dont question why you got the offer why you got it. Instead question yourself 'i created my own opportunity didnt i? now just appreciate it'

In seeking happiness for others, you find it for yourself and the secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.

Its not an ASSET to be more attractive appearance wise but a LIABILITY because thats when you oversee inner qualities that have or haven been worked on.

Not ALL things are written in people's eyes, and how fierce and how ugly a person is is perceived by your own mind. Train it to think otherwise then you'll get to mix with more people without judging their outlook.

Intuition is just a word and a mental norm. Its a mental thinking and feeling thats nurtured into someone. Just like how you perceive someone by his/ her outlook appearance.

Well I am not saying to prove you wrong or to prove that I am right. I'm just saying YOU decide on how YOU perceive and do things. well it may be stupid/ wasting time trying to change a norm but if you never try you'll never know right?

Pressure, stress, competition, oh well all these are stages in life you will have to face one time or another. USE it to your ADVANTAGE and not let it slow you down.

It take time to adapt and change but you'll get there. X)

Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear and YES it a very STRONG motivation in times of need and sorrow and to wish all the best and to take away burden for your loved one is very thoughful. but keep in mind NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN IN LOVE just be contented with what you have done. If there's anything else it will be an extra. No harm getting a surprise along the way than expecting something and getting a hard fall instead.When in doubt, choose Love.


OH WELLS GOOD LUCK ON EVERYTHING YOU DO!! YOU CAN!!! just a few more words of motivation.

when you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on because everything will be ok in the end. if its not OK its not the end. Someone will come along and help you. JUST HANG ON AND DONT GIVE UP!!!

NO IDEA how you got through? Well first of all, YOU did create the opportunity of getting it for yourself. It showed independence. Secondly, you don't have to be the BEST to be chosen. you just have to be someone who is still willing to learn and grow and to be moulded in time to come. Be a moulding clay NOT a moulded rock :D

Fear of your ability? NEVER EVER DOUBT YOURSELF! who got you this far? YOU! Who got the scholarship? YOU! Who impressed the assessors? YOU! Who's results impressed them? YOURS! Who's ability that they saw during the assessment? YOURS!! then why you doubt yourself? No such thing as cannot cope or cannot pace up with the others. just be yourself and do what you have been doing in the past that got you this far but add abit more effort and oil. GAMBATEH!!! HEHE

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WATER BALLOONS!! Think of them as normal balloons. Then it will be easier for you to handle. Its all in the MIND. Well friends are always there to lean on, cry on, complain to, and also shoulder on to help you lessen your burden. ^^

Physical beauty is the first thing you see. YES IT IS. but is it the first thing your mind take into account? NO. YOU control how you perceive it. ITS JUST A NORM which people prioritise looks to get to know a person.

Doesnt mean that cos someone is appear good to another person becomes a factor for him/her to get to know the other party more eagerly. Ever thought of TIME NOT OUR SIDE? Well put yourself in the other person's shoes first. :)

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER NOR ITS INTRODUCTION/CONCLUSION. FINISH THE BOOK BEFORE JUDGING. there might be alot of other stuff that makes the book interesting. Its how you perceive it and how you look at it and how you put yourself into another person's situation to get to a solution and an understanding. (:

LOVE? A friendly advice on love. NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN. But if you do thats just an extra. Having surprises along the way is WAY better than having an expectation crash and burn. If you expect something, its not LOVE, its LUST for the other person. LOVE is sacrificial. YES to love someone gives you strength and being loved gives you courage. WELL you have BOTH STRENGTH AND COURAGE!! why do I say so? your family and friends love you so much to give you support and encouragement. you currently love SOMEONE special, VERY LUCKY PERSON i suppose? *winks* well you got the best of both so make the best of it. Appreciate the people around you. They might turn out to be the best person you never knew you needed. Dont keep focusing on the future and lose whats in the present. Well for your love leave it to fate if it meant to be it will be. But be sure to know what to prioritise and what not. :P

I wish you all the best in ALL you do. YOUR LOVE, STUDIES and LIFE!! Well i might be following your posts to give you more advices along the way when it gets harder and confusing. (I'm not here to prove that you're wrong or that what i say is right or logical or correct. Its just an opinion and advice) Well smileys you see along the way in comments just to lessen the seriousness of this LONG comment hahaha.

TAKE CARE!!! X)
