Question of The Day: Physical Change!

So today's question by @motivationMY is:

"What do you want to change about your physical self and why?"


Obviously, my list was too long to tweet, so I mentioned a few and I ended it with, "...but God made me perfect so I'm not complaining :)".

That's technically not true. If I wasn't complaining, I wouldn't even have a list in the first place no? So anyway, here are my physical changes which I would like to have and why:

• Double eyelids: I didn't want to be the typical asian, and thought that double eyelids would make me look different. But apparently, most Asians have double eyelids anyway. But now, I want them because I think make-up application would be so much easier compared to what I have now. I have to deliberately look for make-up techniques for girls with single eyelids so that I can look like "normal". 
• Dimples: My boyfriend has this cute little dimple (Yes, only one side!). I want one too. I don't intend to do it surgically although I found out that it is completely possible, as I don't believe in plastic surgery. I think my boyfriend looks adorable in a dimple, and I think it would be really cute if I had one too, no? :P 
• Sharper nose: I would really love to have a nose which is sharper and more distinct. I have a very shallow bridge but my "alars" are very nice and I'm happy with that. Just want a higher/sharper bridge. 
• Slimmer body: I honestly wanna have the Yankaykay body minus the plastic surgery. But in terms of body, all she had was a boob job. I'm honestly quite happy with "that" part of my body, and so, all I want is a smaller lump of fat along my belly. I really don't like that, and apparently, I can't seem to lose it, but I'm still trying. :P
• Skinnier legs: I have reason to believe that my legs are quite strong. It's just that, my calves and thighs are super HUGE! I just want them to be reduced, that's all. Oh, and while I'm there, could I add a few inches to that as well? :)

So, that's at least FIVE things I'm not happy with myself. But am I insecure? Actually, sometimes, I do feel insecure and would like to change all these things. But then again, I think back and say, I have an amazing and bubbly personality and I wouldn't give them up for the world. :) 

I do firmly believe that God made each and every one of us, special in each of our own ways. I may not like how I look, but my personality makes me who I am, and I'm proud to say that I have a nice outgoing personality. And at the end of the day, that will account for what I do, in this world. 

I believe that I am perfect, in my own way. You should too :)

Question of The Day: Freelance Career

So Friday's question by @motivationMY was:

"Is freelancing the in-thing now?"


I tweeted that it would depend on the individual. Me, for example, would love to freelance, but I'm not as ambitious, and hence, I can't do that.

Why freelance at all?

For me, I want to. But I seem like I can't have the capabilities to. For now, I'm still working on a lot of things which will require me to spend a lot of time and money. For people who know what I work as, for now, it's kinda impossible. I wish I could put more time and effort into what I'm working on. Honestly, I think I would be so much happier, but I really can't afford it. I would love to freelance, and if you're really confident in what you're doing, go ahead. I really salute and take my hat off to those of you who are freelancing or planning to freelance. I wish I had your confidence. :)

It takes two to tango. The two is, self-confidence and faith!

Question of The Day: Love and Hate in Malaysia!

So today's question, posted on @motivationMY was by Jehan Miskin:

"What's the ONE thing you Love and Hate about Malaysia?"


 This question to me is very very interesting. I didn't really think for a long time before I tweeted my reply; LOVE: Variety of food; HATE: Racial/Religious/Cultural issues.

But was my answer true to my heart, or did I just say something I said for the purpose of being "relatable"?

In actual fact, I do love the variety of food. You could find any kinds of food, ranging from an extensive Chinese selection, to an AWESOME banana leaf rice, to piping HOT Nasi Lemak at anytime of the day. But it's not just our local delicacies. We also can find amazing Japanese, Korean, Thai, Portugese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Turkish, American, English, and basically food from every part of the world here! It's simply amazing. Not only do we have these kinds of food, we also can get food at any time of the day! I think in terms of food, we are amazing!

However, I honestly cannot stand the political/racial/religious/cultural issues! I don't see why we must be like other countries. Our main "motto" is 1Malaysia! How can it be, that we can't even get along with each other? Honestly, what happened to us celebrating each and every religious celebration? We all used to have open houses, etc. What happened to them now? Our egos and prides have taken away that respect and love that we have for other religions, races and cultures! That's what I believe happened. We have lost the most important part of being a Malaysian, which is being able to accept, respect and love other races, religions and cultures.

Well, in my opinion, there are many things that one can love about Malaysia, as well as many things one can hate about Malaysia. But in the end, we should be grateful that we live in a country with so many races, religions and cultures. Rather than turning away from it, let's embrace it and truly appreciate the 1Malaysia motto!

Question of The Day: Helpful Strangers... Aware or Accept?

So today's question by @motivationMY is:

"When was the last time a stranger has helped you?" and "Are there any more nice strangers out there or do we have to be careful all the time?"


I tweeted my personal experience. Last saturday, when I was doing my nails, as I was rushing for time, I didn't have time to sit down and wait for my nails to dry, I had to leave while my nails were still wet. There was this lady in the shop, who noticed that I was having trouble, so she came and helped me hook my bags onto my shoulder. It was really nice of her considering she didn't know me at all. :)

I have been relatively lucky to have met nice and good strangers, but I have also seen the complete opposite! I have been unlucky enough to have met strangers with "cruel intentions". It's really scary. My aunty helped a lady who was bleeding, and her friends came out of nowhere, to take my aunty's handbag. My aunty was just being a good samaritan, but she's the one who got the bad luck! It was really unfair and I felt very upset for her.

In all honesty, when accepting help from strangers, I get relatively weary. I won't say if it's right or wrong, but if I see someone in need, I would help. But if I'm in need, and a stranger comes up to me, I would naturally get weary. After everything that's happened, (robbery, rapes, murder, acid splasher, etc.) it's relatively difficult for me to not get weary. But I believe, that although being weary/aware of their intentions are prudent, there are definitely naturally nice and helpful people out there :) To the good samaritans who have ever helped me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you ever see someone in need, please help them out because you never know, when that could be you!

Love, Sheryl1986 <3

Question of The Day: Friendship!

So today's question by @motivationMY is:

"Do you find a friendship more meaningful if there's more togetherness and face-to-face interactions?"


My answer was not necessarily. I have many awesome and spectacular friends, who really support me in my time of need. I think it's more important to have that chemistry and connection rather than seeing each other everyday but do not even have the chemistry. I also have friends whom I see on a daily basis, but honestly, those that I don't see everyday, for some reason, have been better friends to me. :)

In friendship, nothing is more important to me, than support. Supporting your friend in times of need, is priceless and definitely worth more than time. No matter how busy you are, you can choose to not meet your friend if it's just some random meet-up (but obviously don't wait longer than a year!), but when your friend is in need, you should technically drop everything and support him/her or comfort him/her. I have a relatively short story to tell:

I have this friend, and till this day, although we RARELY meet, I'm quite proud to call her my best friend :) Her name is Evonne Siew and the reason why I gave the answer I gave, is cos at one point in time, we actually didn't meet for approximately 5 years. But when we met up, we didn't feel any awkwardness, and we immediately picked up from where we left off. She has been amazing to me. And I know I'm not her one and only best friend, and neither is she mine. But we know that no matter what, we will always be there for each other, and our catch-up sessions are always amazing!

And then there's my other best friend, Siew Mei. Just as loving, and thoughtful and caring, and another point to note is that, we don't see each other often either. But again, just like Evonne, when we meet up, there's no awkwardness, and the catch-up sessions are always amazing too! :)

I would like to point out that not all friends are like this. It just so happens that both my besties are friends whom I don't get to meet that often. Sometimes, you do feel alone, but when you are reminded that they are just an SMS/Call/Twitter/Facebook message away, then you won't feel alone anymore. I always believe in "quality over quantity", which is why I'm able to maintain friendships with these amazing people and I don't have to worry about awkwardness after a long period of time, or worry about them having other friends. I mean, I don't expect them to wait for me, nor I them. It works both ways, with mutual trust and understanding. I believe, that these are friends which will be with you till the end of days. I really love them so much.

Friendship is and can be a very sensitive subject. Many friends drift apart. It doesn't matter how many friends you have, but it's the ones that last that really counts. And similar to looking for your eternal partner in life, I believe in this quote: It takes for you to find the wrong one, to know you've found the right one.

I think that friendship can be very objective, so you would have to discuss this with your friend. Do take note that not all friends can accept the "not-meeting-often" policy. Nothing is better, than plain open honest discussion! So if you have a friend that you really cherish, just open up your heart, because the worst thing that could happen, is that you find out that he/she wasn't the right one. Then you move on, and find a better friend. :)

Love, Sheryl1986 <3

Question of The Day: Comfort Zone

So today's question by @motivationMY is:

"When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone?"

To me, the answer is relatively simple. For me, it's right now. I am taking a very big step, putting on my lenses everyday, make up, hair, things that I don't usually do. The worst one? Eating salads! For people who know me well, you will know that asking me to eat salads, is like asking me to be tortured. I hate and very crazily despise vegetables. But for some reason, I'm eating them now.

What is a comfort zone? It's something that makes you sorta think. Is everyone being comfortable? What does being comfortable mean? In my opinion, the comfort zone is relatively subjective. For me, my comfort zone is my turtle-self. I tend to put up this barrier, which makes me sometimes hurt people around me. And that's not the best! I have decided to make a change and hence, stepping out of my comfort zone.

For some, it's the comfortable lifestyle they've been living. There was this girl, an ex-Cempakan, Gina Saharuddin. She attended a 10-week expedition, called Raleigh. When I heard her story, she stepped out into the wilderness with her own story of stepping out of her comfort zone. That was very inspiring.

Different people have different stories. And to me, taking that step out of your comfort zone, is a very brave step. I have to take my new life step-by-step. Baby steps all the way :)

Kudos to those who have taken some steps or even leaped! For those who haven't, you might want to consider it. It's a really amazing feeling. I'm building a new life, and a new personality, a new character! How much more amazing can that be? :)

Step out of yourself, and you will step into the world!

Love, Sheryl1986 <3

Question of The Day: Changing Yourself!

So today's question from @motivationMY is:

"If someone you LOVE wants you to CHANGE, would YOU do it for HIM/HER? Explain"


I tweeted back that I will blog about this, 'cos I've been through the same exact situation and I feel like my answer would be too long for 140 characters! Haha! So here we go. My answer would be different under different circumstances. I think I've been through a lot of changes. Some good, and some bad. 

I have only been in love twice, so I don't really know about people who have dated more than me. For me, my goal was to be with the other person for as long as I could. And to a certain extend, I believe I have been doing quite well. But with my ex, he wanted me to change, but it was for his benefit. He wanted me to do insurance and here's the best part, he wanted me to eat more vegetables for the worst reasons ever! Don't even bother guessing, cos you'll just never get it right. It's cos, his family eats a lot of vegetables and he wanted me to get along with his family so that's why he wanted me to eat vegetables! Like retarded right? Like who would think about persuading someone to eat vegetables just so that they can "relate" to your family??? Super dumb! He persuaded me to drink, which I eventually gave in. But here, let me clarify, this is for the wrong reason. I did it, cos I wanted him to stay with me. Yes, I was that shallow. It is quite painful to admit that I was so dumb. I really like wanted to keep him, to an extend that I almost lost myself. I believe that this is very destructive. Never ever change for one person. It's not fair on yourself and at the end of the day, you shouldn't change yourself to adapt to another person. That is just plain stupidity! You have more dignity and more self-esteem than that! Always remember that. 

Now to my 2nd and current love. He makes me feel like there is an actual reason behind why he wants me to change. Actually, the biggest one he made together with me, was to help me increase my self-esteem. I think that's really helpful. I was once at a point where, every other girl, in my eyes, was so much better or hotter or smarter or sportier than me. I have had a very bad past. Actually we both have, that's why when I was like that (low self-esteem!), he totally understood me and helped me get out of that "dark times". I'm not saying like as if my self-esteem is like through the roof, but it's definitely better than last time. I mean, how can I achieve my dreams of being a socialite if I don't have the confidence right? :) But the difference is, he made me feel like as if I deserve to feel like I'm better than some people cos I am. I feel grateful for that. He sort of made me feel better about myself. Only thing is, he doesn't like me to change my looks! Which means, me wanting to be slim and putting on more make-up, he feels is unnecessary. But I guess it's what you do when you want to become a socialite :) 


I'm quite happy with who I am now, working on some life changes, but they are for my own benefit and to achieve my own dreams. Not because someone wants me to get along with his family (I seriously can't believe how stupid I was!), but because I want to achieve my own dreams. 

I think most importantly, people need to realize that if you're changing for someone else, rather than yourself, you would end up being unhappy and unsatisfied with your life. Then, 3 things can happen. 

1. You will be very angry at yourself and you will lose your temper at yourself (ie. cut yourself);
2. You will be angry at whoever tried to change you, and you will keep throwing tantrums at that person;
3. You will end your own life because that's how unhappy you'll be. 

Of course I really hope that no. 3 doesn't happen to anyone. In fact, wake up! You are so much better than a lot of people make you out to be! Never ever look down on yourself. In the words of Christina Aguilera: You are beautiful, no matter what they say. Words can't bring you down! :) Be the change that you wanna see in the world! 

Love, Sheryl1986 <3 

Question of The Day: Dream Career

So today's question by @motivationMY is:

If you could switch jobs for a day, what would you do?


Although my original answer, is that I would like to be a socialite and a model, I've had some time to think about it. I think I would like to be a socialite more than a model. I wanted to be a model because I love how they always look so pretty, glamorous and elegant. And I really do adore Yan Kay Kay (a Singaporean model), but some models, are really so bimbo-tic! I really don't wanna be like them.

I would like to be someone (most probably a socialite!) who can make a difference. I really love the idea of speaking my mind, of telling the truth, and of changing our social views. I'm not saying that our society is bad, but I really think that sometimes, we, as youths, should really speak our mind. And most of the times, we are not given the proper chance to. Which is why, I really admire the creator behind MotivationMY. I really applaud his bravery to do what he's doing, and I honestly thank him for giving people like me, to speak our minds. I believe that he is a real socialite and is doing an amazing job at it.

When I tweeted my answer to MotivationMY, I tagged everyone who was tagged in the tweet with me, and I sort of gave the idea that I could only dream about being a socialite or a model or both. And then, a TV host, named Fabian Narcis, replied my tweet and said "Dreams do come true.. I'm living proof :)". And it got me to thinking, what if I did that too? I mean, pursue my dreams of being on TV (although technically, I did spend an entire season, appearing on Astro Battleground 2007), and basically indulging my fantasies of being pretty and looked up to by everyone? I admit, I'm not the least slim (in fact, I consider myself relatively tubby!), and I don't really like to dress up! But if I did like to dress up, and was really skinny, what's stopping me from being on TV? For me, it's just one thing: REJECTION!

I have a tendency to give up everything once I'm rejected. I tend to be a very negative person. People see me cheery and chirpy all the time, and I think that I can be cheery and chirpy! But when it comes to being rejected, I'll feel like my whole world will come tumbling down. I think that's quite a big deal to me. I know that being rejected is sometimes part of the deal, and maybe that's why I'm afraid of pursuing it? Maybe that's why I never became a full-time dancer, because I know that it's normal for dancers to be rejected. I know that it's important to keep an open mind, etc, and I've heard all the motivational talks, but somehow, I just curl up into my little shell once I've been rejected. To me, losing a competition does not equal to being rejected. That just means I'm not good enough. And a lot of people have told me that I should keep on improving myself to be better. I agree.

I am currently working on a small project which has no impact on my job or career whatsoever. The small project, however, does involve my life. The small project, is for me to change my entire outward look. I know it's not easy, and it sure is taking up a lot of cash, but it's for my own confidence. I've always never felt confident about myself for some reason. But from now on, it's going to change. I'm going on a small diet, whereby I control my food intake, and try to exercise more. Then I am slowly but surely using a teeny bit of makeup, and am planning to change my wardrobe. These changes will not happen all at one go, as it is a fairly expensive ordeal, but my confidence will grow. And who knows? Maybe one day, MY dream will come true? :)

Love, Sheryl1986 <3

Movie Review: Priest (Spoiler Alert!)

I have a problem with watching movies in 3D. Every time, once I'm done with a movie in 3D, I will get a super bad headache, and basically, I can't stand 3D movies. So when given the choice, I chose not to watch Priest in 3D, and thank goodness, my bf agreed with me.

I had the worst stuffs in my mind. I read the short synopsis of the movie, which is stuck on the ad in the cinema. I was kinda worried, cos it said "A priest goes against church laws..." and I was like "oh oh!". I got quite worried, as this might be one of the movies that my church would say, "We discourage you to watch this movie". But as per usual, being the rebellious one, I would still watch it anyway. And then, there's the vampire issue. I do not believe in them, but I also don't like to acknowledge them in movies (ESPECIALLY in Twilight!). And then, I also found out Maggie Q is in the movie, and I don't like her either.

So I actually went in for the movie, with really low expectations. I even asked my bf, if he minds if I fell asleep. That's how low my expectations were. But the movie was quite epic!

I love the introduction of the movie. The cartoon-bits. People might think I'm childish but whatever! It was cool how they demonstrated the war and the "battles" between humans and vampires. What I enjoyed most was the illusion of the battle between good and evil. To me, this was a very religious and relatively wholesome church movie. Only thing is that, it eventually shows that the church, goes against their own and ends up making their own laws rather than listening to just what God says.

It sort of strengthened my faith a bit somehow. I do feel that churches nowadays, can get quite "ruling". The politics are way out of hand. Sometimes, our own priests, make their own rules, and I think that it's wrong. But I'm grateful that my church has a relatively strong youth group, and I'm a part of that, rather than getting involved in church politics.

So the synopsis of the movie (in my very own words!) is as follows:

Once upon a time, men and vampires could never get along. While men had weapons, and firearms, vampires had very swift movement and were very skillful. However, men had one advantage over the vampires. The Sun. During daybreak, men would try to exterminate as many as they could, but when night fall came, vampires would kill just as any or more men. Eventually, men could not take it, and those who weren't in combat, were taken under the Church as protection. Also, during these times, Priests were formed. Prisests are specially trained under the Church, to kill vampires. They were just as swift and were lethal. After the extermination of most vampires, the Church started to worry about the Priests as they were an unstoppable bunch, in terms of killing vampires. Therefore, using the exact same authority they did to form the Priests, they disbanded them, and released them of the authority to kill anymore. The Priests then found themselves, lost in the sea of people, vowing that "To go against the Church, is to go against God".

One day, a bunch of vampires launched an attack on a house, and kidnapped a young girl, Lucy. Lucy happens to be in love with a sheriff of Augustine, and his name is Hicks. After finding out her kidnapping, he goes on a mission to Cathedral City, to find Lucy's Uncle who's a Priest. Upon finding out Lucy's kidnapping, the Priest approaches the Clergy to request for his authority to be reinstated. But the Clergy denied his request. The Priest then decides to go against the Church and team up with Hicks to go and try to save Lucy. Prior to the kidnapping, Lucy's parents, Owen and Shannon are murdered by what seems to be a new breed of vampires. This makes the Priest very angry as he had once loved Shannon, but had to give her up upon becoming a Priest. He makes it his personal goal to exterminate these vampires and save Lucy. The Church then reinstates all other Priests and one Priestess to find this Priest, and bring him to face the Church, dead or alive. The Priestess seems to have feelings for him, and tries to save him, rather than helping her comrades. Upon the arrival of another city of which the other Priests had gone to look for this Priest (I think the name of the city was Jericho), all the other Priests gets killed by something called the Black Hat. He was a Priest whom had been left in the hive of vampires, and the Queen Vampire had turned him into a Human Vampire.

The Priest and Priestess finds the bodies of these other Priests. When Hicks sees the bodies, Hicks begins to question what they are going after, only to find out, that the reason why the Priest really wants to save Lucy is because, he was her father. So long story short, after super a lot of fighting and action packed nonsense, the Black Hat finally dies, Lucy gets saved and lives happily ever after with Hicks, while the Priest and Priestess go on more hunting journeys to save humanity, as the Queen Vampire isn't dead yet.

What I got out of the movie was:

1. Paul Bettany is not as hot as I thought he would be;
2. Maggie Q is not as irritating as I thought she would be;
3. and.. Karl Urban (Black Hat) is not bad looking :) 

You must be joking if you thought that that was what I got out of the movie. Haha! I think the movie was relatively religious, and about trusting in God, but not go out of hand, that you stay behind the walls and do not do God's work. I believe the Priests did more of God's work than the Clergy did in this movie. So yeah. There you go! 

Rating: 8/10

Question of The Day: Teachers

So today's question by @motivationMY is: "We want to know about your most memorable teacher and why (can be cikgu baik/garang/penyabar/kelakar, etc.) Share, share, share!!!"

Obviously, I have too many to mention on Twitter but of course, I couldn't help mentioning MRS. WONG SIEW CHIN, my A-Levels Chemistry Teacher. One who really got my life together for me, not only in terms of education, but also spiritually. She's actually a combination of all those that was mentioned. She's kind, caring, gentle, strict, funny, and basically everything nice that you can think about. Her methods of teaching me, definitely paid off because she got me, my one and only A-Level distinction, which till this very day, I'm very proud of! :) She was my teacher, and even though she's my colleague now, I still call her teacher, because she really deserves so much respect. Especially cos she's really changed my life! I can't stop talking about her, because she really is amazing :) So proud to be her student!

Once upon a time, believe it or not, I HATED MATHS! Until, I went for this tuition, and my teacher's name was Mrs. Chan. I don't really know her full name, but her tuition was in her house, over at Jalan Gasing. From then on, I had perfect mathematical skills. I LOVED AND ADORED MATHS! <3 I'm what I would call, a Maths Freak! Since then, the only teachers I loved in high school are my maths teachers. My teachers who deserve a mention are Pn. Faezah, Pn. Jamaliah, Pn. Kwan, and Mrs. Lee. And then, I found Add Maths, which happen to come together with THE BEST ADD MATHS TEACHERS EVER! I had Pn. Kwan in school, and Mr. Lee Chin Choy in tuition. Since then, I'm very proud to say, I've never achieved less than a 95 in Modern Maths and less than 98 in Add Maths. Yes, thanks to Pn. Kwan and Mr. Lee, I have achieved 100 in Add Maths before! Am I proud of myself, or am I proud? :) 

So those are my academic teachers :) 

Then, there are my dance teachers! My mummy, Ms. Leong and Ms. Tham who taught me Ballet. For pushing me as a child. And then there's Ms. Tham, Mr. Chris, Aunty Siat Peng (Ms. Loo), and gang for teaching me Tap. For bringing me so much closer to Tap and now, I'm spreading the joy of tapping to my students! And then, there's Mr. Chris and Vivian Chan for bringing me closer a teeny bit to Jazz. I do regret not going deep into it though, but thank you for opening my eyes to the life of Jazz. Then there's Mr. Loh, for bringing me closer to Latin.  I didn't do it for long, but I did love it a lot. Especially the part where I wear a skirt, fling it about and dance in HEELS :) 

Then there are all my HIP-HOP teachers!!! I have many, but there is one, I really adore, till today. The one who pushed me so hard, I refused to give up! FELLEST YAN SUN SHUNG! He brought me into the Hip-Hop world. I love and indulge myself in Hip-Hop today, because of him! Once upon a time, he taught a beginners' class in my studio. I was a beginner and had never touched hip-hop before. The entire class consisted of girls, and all of us were/are ballerinas. During that session, he got so upset at our shy-ness and refusal to follow his orders, he stomped out of the studio in anger. At the end of the session, he made a very bold statement. A statement which changed my life. He said, "Ballet dancers can never be good Hip-Hop dancers". I took that statement as a challenge, making Hip-Hop my life. Since then, I have joined a televised competition, Astro Battleground 2007 (Top 4!)  with CID Crew, and many other competitions since. :) 

Among my many other teachers are, Sharlin, Bobby, Raymond, Kelvin, Alex, Ah Fai, Dion, and many many others. Even those who taught me via YouTube and don't even know it. I have too many hip-hop teachers. Even International ones, like Shay Normann, Marcus Tucker.. I have learned so much. And then there's Celica. He really has taught me so much, and so patient. Thank you! 

So those are/were my dance teachers! 

And then, there are teachers, who do not necessarily teach you academics, or whatever, but teach you about life. 

I want to thank my ex, for teaching me how bad of a bastard men can be. I'm not saying all men are like that, but you were, and I thank you for opening my eyes to how bad a breakup can be. I learned a lot about relationships through him, as he was my first. I admit that I made a lot of mistakes in my past relationship. He's not the only one to be blamed. Sigh. Can't believe I just said that! :P

Thank you to my current bf, who has taught me so many other important things. The best thing he's taught me, is that small little gestures, can count as showing someone how much you love them. He actually likes the fact that I like to lie on his shoulder, and he says that it's a small gesture of me showing him, how much I want to be him/be with him. :) So sweet right? He taught me a lot about football. I started supporting United, initially because he likes United. Then I started indulging myself in the fact that I adore watching 22 men running around trying to put 1 teeny tiny ball, into a net. It's actually a really technical game, and I really enjoy watching United playing! Then there's Starcraft 2, and basically so many other things. But most of all, he taught me how to love myself. Something I haven't been doing for quite some time now. I think that's the most important and biggest lesson he's ever taught me, and I really thank him for that!

Thank you to my family, who's taught me that having a big and loving, fun and funny family, is actually really cool! I have a super huge family, especially on my dad's side, and I'd like to think that we are kinda close, although we usually see each other once a year! But when we do get together, we go really crazy! So much fun!

Thank you Aunty Mary for teaching me how to sing! :) 

Thank you to my church members for helping me grow spiritually, especially Daniel & Eunice, Joseph & Jamie, Davin, Andrea, Andrew Khoo, etc. and all who's names I have left out. You know who you are and just, THANK YOU! 

Teachers, I believe are not just about academics. There are so many different kinds of teachers. It's a question of whether you acknowledge them or not.

WELCOME!

Welcome to my new blog!

Most people would ask, "WHY??". And my answer would be, because I would like to start a new journey and build myself. I really love reading blogs from people like XiaXue, KayKay, and all. I'm not saying that I'm planning to be a bimbo or whatever, but I think it's interesting to know that they all started just as bloggers. (by the way, Kaykay is NOT A BIMBO! ) :p

Ok, basically what happened is, last Saturday (yes, on the day United guaranteed the 19th Premier League title! GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!), I received a tweet, saying that I've been invited for a short Q+A session by a blogger regarding Malaysian youth. I got to know about this blogger/twitterer via my bf's mom. She used to be a vivid follower of his, but now has reduced her appearances. However, I have been deemed a worthy mention of this person (I think his name is Syafique or something!) and has been asked for a short interview. I was quite surprised as my appearance is the equivalent of having Marion Caunter, and Elaine Daly and Dominic Lau on them! That means, my tweets count! I have been very careful in giving my answers and I really think about them. But because it's Twitter, you can only get 140 characters worth of answers. Technically less, cos I have to mention @motivationMY. So I have decided...

That for every question or something that he posts, I will reply him via this blog! :) I think it's important to get my opinions out there.

Most of the time, I keep everything to myself. Well, that's not how it's going to be from now on. I'm going to speak my mind. If you wanna listen, kudos! If you don't, then WTF are you doing here in the first place?

But I do like the idea of building myself a positive, yet non-bimbo-tic online persona. It will start off with this blog, followed by some YouTube videos (already contemplating some in my mind!) and then maybe something else will follow? Who knows? :)

So thank you for supporting me through this ordeal, and most importantly, for being patient with me through it all!
