Expectations - Marriage

Saturday, March 9, 2019 @ 11:30:00 PM | 0 Comment [s]

Have never felt so down and helpless due to needing to meet expectations of others. 

What is getting married all about? 

Isn't marriage about two individuals coming together and be together legally, buying our own place and having our own children? 

Isn't getting together as simple as sharing every moments together be it happy or sad? 

All i want now is just to ROM, get the certificate and at most, going to have a meal together with both families. Why is it getting so stressful now. Why bother if i will regret this when i'm older. I am happy to just get married to the one i love. 

Why do i feel getting married is a chore now? 

Yes, getting married isn't just about two individuals but also their family; their parents and their siblings. But ultimately, the marriage is about the two individuals joining together and welcoming the new chapter of life. 

Why do one have to meet expectations of what the parents wants; what the parents want to have, what to do, where to host, how to do etc? 

Don't the couple make the decision for this? Don't the couple pay for the whole thing? Isn't this event about the couple who decided to come together? 

Yes, i'm not saying that parents is not part of this. We are the children. I'm just saying, don't the decision lies on the child? If the child doesn't want to have a wedding, as parents do you say 'No, you need to have a wedding'. 

The event itself is tiring, expensive and totally not worth the effort. Why do we need to show people?  Why do we need to follow traditions? Why do we even care how other people think? 

As a father, if your daughter does not want to host a wedding, will you blame her? Will you tell her 'You need to host a wedding so i can walk you down the aisle' or 'I need to tell the world my daughter is getting married'. Who would remember? 
[Just in case you are wondering. It's not my story, just a thought.]

[Also just a thought] 
Another tradition i don't understand. How much betrothal money to give, yes it's up to the bride mum to say. But its between two families, why is there a need to give a big sum and return a significant amount just so that you can show off to people and say the in-laws gave this much and i gave back so much. How is this important? 

Can't the couple make the decision? Why is it such a stressful thing when its just as easy as a signature. 

Yes, we need to respect the elders. If we don't follow, we are labelled as unfilial. But don't we get deserve to be respected too?

You say you don't want to care so much and have no energy to bother so much. Then why the expectations, why the constant nagging and suggestions. Why the anger bursts. 

Requesting me to stay over at his current place while waiting for the new house to be ready. Yes, i don't deny it will be a good-to-have experience but it's also okay not to isn't it? Why do you make it sound like i must go through that? Does it mean if friction happens I don't stay together with my in-laws? Does solving the hiccups first before moving house really that important? I'm still staying with them anyway.

If i don't want to have the traditional customs of the groom coming to the bride's house to fetch her = the bride is cheap and getting married too easily? What logic is this? 

I'm really feeling so stress up and tired of this. 

Might as well i don't get married. He say he can buy a flat next year already if he is single. I can also buy one when I'm 35. We will have two flats. Then so be it. 

Expectations versus reality

Wednesday, January 4, 2017 @ 1:31:00 AM | 0 Comment [s]

Kept finding myself getting frustrated at little things recently, too frequently and most of the times ridiculously. Expecting a certain outcome from something i say or do, just won't happen every single time. 
A realization, I've choose to ignore. 

For example: this girl just wants a hug from the boy but when the boy passed a harmless remark instead of the expected hug, the girl will be disappointed. Thus, it leads to bad emotions such as anger, frustration and tears.


When expectations and reality don't tally, sometimes when the disappointment and the sadness are too strong for one to control, negative feelings will all come gushing down at you and paralyzing the mind to think logically. 
Ultimately, hurting the people you love dearly.


Disappointment comes too easily as human beings are bound to create expectations on almost anything. Sadly, its the cruel reality that many know but choose to overlook.


However, many are also aware that if the reality surpasses their expectation, they will feel immense happiness but this is not always the case.


On a final note, this last quote which i myself will also keep in mind, would be not to have high expectations especially on little things. High expectations = High disappointment. I know this, but apparently I still do it. What an irony. 





Body going haywire at the wrong time

Tuesday, September 6, 2016 @ 2:34:00 PM | 0 Comment [s]

Dry coughs on Friday and i know its a sign that my body needs to rest. But i couldn't when there is so many deadlines the next week. I ignored the warning my body is showing. 


What a wrong move, i developed high fever which i think it probably exceeded 40 degrees on Saturday night. It was so unbearable that I couldn't sleep at all, feeling so cold i wrapped myself in my blanket but in the next few seconds, i felt super hot.

Other than fever, troublesome partners came by and they are flu, cough, sore throat and headache all came at once altogether. I felt helpless.
Decided i had to see a doctor to fix all these so that i can meet the deadlines next week. I woke up feeling my fever has subsided from the sleep, but the doctor says i'm running a fever at 38.8 degrees. Great. Just great.



All was well after the first two medication intake on Sunday. I can feel myself slowly getting better. I had to study for one last time before i head to bed as i have a test on Monday evening. Just half way through studying, i fainted. This time, without warning. Whats happening to me? I felt scared. REALLY SCARED.


Monday came, and my fever is back. My cough and sore throat got worse. I couldn't go to school early to study as planned hence i skipped both my classes and stayed home to study for my evening test. My fever worsen during the paper and i felt terrible. Ate the medicines prescribed by the doctor and slept till noon today. Can't even wake to go to class today. I felt like shit.

Sadly, it didn't help much. I woke up, my fever was at 37.8 degrees and i am here trying to complete an essay which must be done by Thursday. I feel so weak and helpless. I feel like crying. What can i do to focus and finish up my essay. I can't rest yet. 


Seems like my system is overheating from overworking. *you're suppose to laugh here*  LOL

Tonight,

The cold wind blows, my mood goes low.
My wet tears flows, the sourness grow.

I, Me, Myself

Friday, June 10, 2016 @ 12:26:00 AM | 0 Comment [s]

This post will be all about I, Me, Myself and thoughts on who I feel I am as an individual.

I am a very innocent and naive person. Genuine and just super nice. It's weird to say this myself but many had described and mentioned this to me in someway or the other at some part of my life when our paths crossed. Not sure if it's okay/good to be innocent and naive in this cruel world but it is who I am and I don't wish to lose the naiveness or innocence that I currently possess. Sometimes, it may seem to you that I am childish, callow or ignorant but I believe I am simply just unsophisticated and unpretentious thus I can be very honest and open to anyone without reading too much between the lines. 

I used to be someone with absolute zero confidence about myself and I never could imagine myself looking into someone's eye when I'm talking to him or her. That has changed but I am certain that till date, I still do not have the courage to speak confidently and holding a conversation with confidence. I am better now as compared to who I was before but I believe I can be better so that I can be a better person in general. 

In the past not too long ago, about 5 to 10 years back, I was a downright negative person. My confidence level was so low that I feel people don't want to accept me as a person and everything I do was just wrong till the extend that me coming into this world felt like it was a big fat mistake that should be undone. I simply just don't feel welcome and accepted as a human being. All I wanted to do was to disappear from this world by ending my life and I believed no one would even care or notice that I'm gone, no one will ever feel pity or sad that I'm no longer around. 

The negativity in me was so overwhelming that I simply couldn't talk with and see the people around me without thinking negatively. But now, things have changed drastically for me as I grew older and matured. I think so positively now such that I trust everyone whom I met for the very first time and believe they approach me with a genuine heart with no bad motives. 

Currently, I'm attending a 2-days workshop called Live, Life and Purpose. To some, it may be nothing and useless but for me, it inspires me a great lot even though today is only the first day of the workshop. It kept me thinking continuously while travelling home and even when I'm bathing. I've discovered and know who I actually could be through activities, reflections and understanding the mistakes other people makes in their life that had impacted them and changed them to who they are today. 

This is only one small part of my takeaways from today's workshop and through this, I understand and know myself a little better than I had before. 

Hopefully, at the end of the workshop, I can find my purpose and live that purpose till the end of my life journey.

A date in the E.A.S.T

Didn't know where to head to and we decided to make our way to the eastest east, Ehub to watch a movie.
Had a quick bento lunch at Woodlands before taking a couple of buses to Ehub.

Itchy mouth calls for a sweet treat :D
Caramel Shake Cornetto while chilling at 7-11 !! 


While walking around to find the cinema, we came across my super love cutesy, most adorable-st creature ever ! The three eye alien !!!!!! The claw machine is full of them . I must say i turned into a little girl jumping around shrieking in delight.

Since i can't get one, a photo is a must. Hahaha. This one outside the arcade is GINORMOUS.
Super love super love 


Got our tickets to Scorch Trials.
The movie is good, the flow, the story captures my attention throughout the movie.
And of course, there is a continuous movie after scorch trials.

*Anticipating*




After the movies, we walked into the arcade and was tempted to play. So we took out money and exchange for about 60 tokens. Hehehe. One of the funniest game, the childish-est game and the game we got the highest possible score is ..... hit-the-shark. We spent our final token to play this game again but this time, we joined hands and took care of the sharks together. HIGH SCORE ! Tickets just kept flowing out and that marks the most exciting arcade visit i ever had. 





I don't think the machine gave us 500 tickets though. 





Famished after 'exercising' at the arcade calls for a good meal. Walked into Just-Acia and ordered the same old thing. I'm stubborn like that :) 




Let's visit the east again soon shall we? 




Semester 2 and my life as a student

Tuesday, August 18, 2015 @ 11:50:00 PM | 0 Comment [s]

In a blink of an eye, in just one more week, 2 months of my second semester will be over. From the honeymoon period of the first month, to the second month where the stress come tiptoeing into my life bit by bit. Assignment datelines are just around the corner and I have yet to formally start my work. Yet surprisingly(not), I don't feel the panicky feeling at all. Can't believe it, I have a 2000 words essay with at least 10 articles as reference to complete by end of month and not even one single word is typed.

Somebody, please press the panic button for me. I will definitely hate you but I'm super sure I'll appreciate your help when the due date is super close and I'm almost done with my assignment.



Up till this moment, school is still manageable but still hateful in my own opinion. I dislike having to think about assignment progress, important things to take note for examinations, dates of my mid-semester test et cetera. I like how I can come home after a tiring day at work and rest my mind totally empty-headed till the next morning. Then again, there are plus points of being a full time student. I study 3 days a week for this semester and have 4 days of weekend. I have 2 months of semester break before the new semester commences. On my school days, I end classes at 3 PM. My boyfriend always says I have a good life but there are stress times and it really depends on the individual's preference



In two months time, it will be the examination period. I should really put up a study routine for my own good and someone(s) to study together with. I cannot study alone at all especially at home **insert distractions everywhere**. There's always little things that catches my attention or a sudden feel to do certain thing. The loose strand of hair dangling in front of my face, ants appeared out of nowhere and I have to remove them, the need to get a cup of water, the need to go to the toilet and worst of all, feeling the need to take a break when I have done absolutely nothing.  Laughs !! And to add on to the never ending list of distractions, my OCD becomes really bad when I'm studying.

Told myself that I will start preparing examination notes from the first lesson of each module instead of doing them after completing the last lecture of each module but now, it's already the 6th lecture and I have not done any. DARN. 



Lots of plans are made for the upcoming semester break. I'm feeling excited yet super guilty. I should really start putting in my 95% in my studies since I've decided to embark on this new journey of getting a degree certificate. I must say that I have indeed changed when I started the new semester. I listen in lectures more than I did in my first semester *a pat on the back*. I do more 'homework' during my free time at home and also while waiting for my boyfriend to knock off from work. It's a good thing I end classes at 3 PM isn't it? I can head over to the CBD area and find a nice cafe for some self study sessions while waiting. 

But I can't really study much in noisy environment, I need absolutely silence in order to concentrate, think and write. After so many years of being a student, I still plug in my earpiece and put on my favorite songs, but my mind would automatically process the lyrics and melody and I would start singing silently in my head. There's no way I can do much with noise. The only place I know that will be absolutely quiet would be the library. Studying outside would take a about 10 hours or so and that means I have to settle my own meals but the library don't allow food consumption. Grrr... Therefore, I go to Starbucks. Plug in some music and study with countless short breaks in between. 

Since mugging days are coming real soon, it's the time again to grow fat with Starbucks coffee **BIG SMILES**.



I really want to do well for my studies, or at least pass everything and get my degree by the end of December 2016 as planned. It's been quite a long hiatus from my last uploaded blog-post and I think the next post will come a little late too since the assignments, mid-semesters tests and examinations stress are on their way to attack. 




To all my fellow friends, no matter what you're doing, where you are or what your current responsibilities/roles are, 
All the best to you and me and may our hopes, dreams and wishes comes true.

Was introduced to Guildwars by boyf yesterday and I'm seriously in loved with my very own customized character :D 

But I still find it hard to understand the game structure and how to control / attack . I must agree that my eye-hand coordination really cannot make it .

Ain't my character chio ? 



I hate myself for being who I am

Monday, June 15, 2015 @ 9:32:00 PM | 0 Comment [s]

After countless incidents on proving that I'm weak, why am I still putting myself into such situation again. It does nothing but makes me sad only. Always ended my sadness and sourness by crying all night long. Frigging all night long.

The sourness, the loneliness, the uselessness, the weakness ... I really don't know what to do to take away all these from myself. I hate myself for being who I am yet I accept that this is who I am. This life of mine, this family of mine, the people that I thought won't leave but did ... it's all my fault.

I never did want to go against her but all kinds of possible actions, thoughts and conversation replayed themselves in my head every single time. I should have done what I had in mind but I just couldn't. This indeed gave her the chance to boss us around and control us like puppets. Yet, we never fight back. All we do is talk behind her back and comment on everything that makes us unhappy but we never talk back to her.

All because she's our mother. That's the only reason. The one and only reason I can think of.
