Spot the ......

Lately, I have been writing my blog rushingly to the last minute. On early January I start to write around 8pm and it gave me like almost 4 hours to add things or edit the words. I love writing but I realised I might always have the same writing style, which might be too monotonous for the reader.

People like to watch other people life, that what I learn from the social media. Private photos and videos are well received and liked than photos of your pets or the natures. I like to keep my private life private as much as I can, but I might have to share my life a bit here and there. 

I was attending blues and jazz jamming session with my husband today. There were roughly more than 20 or 30 people at the hotel tonight. I look around and realised that I was the only Asian in the room. I told my husband about that, and he just smiled. 

I often feel proud if I found myself different than other people at work or at school or among family and friends, but when I was the only Asian in the room tonight, I don't really know what I feel. There was mixed feeling, it's quite unpleasant but it doesn't bother me so much.

My husband usually is the only westerner in my friend and family circle, at the beginning of our relationship he often said to me "Can you spot the westerner?". Many times I just laughed as a response to his cheeky question, I never really asked him whether he feels secluded and uncomfortable. I never checked his wellbeing in that kind of circumstances, I was too busy catching up and expect him to understand or independently find something to amuse him. Tonight was the first time I asked him whether he feels unpleasant when he was the only one that ethnicity different in my friend and family gathering. Not to my surprise, he said he never feels unpleasant at all, he is very chill person. I love you husband, thank you for being a very cool human being then and now. 

By the way, can you spot the odd one out tonight? 😜

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...

Who Am I?

You are what you captured, read and listen. Last year after I completed my degree, I have lots of time in my hand. I have had spent most on my relax time on social media such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. I received heaps of news and information from these three platforms only. All these information spread on social media have changed my MBTI personality from the Defender ISFJ to the Advocate INFJ; from the protective, warm and caring to the mystical and idealist. In 2019, I was so bloody active on promoting good causes and good news, increase the awareness of the people on the latest issues that happened around the world, pass on some petitions, greetings people, give comments, give likes to people post, get involved in online discussion, joined international group, etc. My friend also mentioned about the trend of social justice warrior, and how common it is among us millennials. With the advancement in technology, the search engines algorithms on the internet help us to pick t...
