love smiles, love laughter

I almost ditched this blog to start a new one. I created one on wix.com but it didn't feel the same. I still like this, vanilla blogging. Nothing extra, just a place for me to write, vent and rant. Hence, i've decided to come back here to start again. I realised that i haven't been writing for a long time and i miss it. I miss the feeling after writing, the sound of the keys when pressed, so therapeutic. I just love it. The feeling of posting here and on the other website is so , so different. I really do prefer here than the new one. Tho i put quite a measurable effort on designing the website, you know what, this blog values more than that. This blog has all the posts since, many many years ago. Believe it or not, this blog is now, approximately, 6 years, if i'm not mistaken. Since i've started college. I can't even remember when did i start college. lol. Anyways, good to be back. Good to be back. My life so far.. Not too bad tbh. Am working to make it b...

I am going to be officially 24 in a week! I can't believe how time passes by so fast! *written a week before Feb* It was just last week when my colleague asked how old am i, i answered, going to be 24 soon. She said, 24? You can get married and have kids already! Then i said, that's still a long way to go, but when i think about it, it's actually not too far.. There's so much to achieve before i want to get married. I have expectations to achieve before being married and have kids.. Not to say i can't achieve what i want with a family, it's just before getting tied down with getting pregnant and having kids and taking care of them, i want to be at least financially stable first where i don't have to worry about financials and just focus on taking care of my kids- maybe even, be a full time, stay at home mom. Just maybe, provided my husband can afford it of course. It seems like i am giving myself a lot of expectations that i gives me stress that i have t...

4 more days into 2018. Had loads of ups and downs this year, 2017. 2017 has taught me a lot of great things. 1. Be grateful for your family  I have personally witnessed the pain when someone you love so dearly left you. It woke me up right away that we always take our family members for granted and always assume that they will be with us forever. Well, technically not really. 2. Things can happen unexpectedly This I would like to dedicate to the piece of article that got selected to be published on the Leaderonomics website and the Star newspaper. It was seriously crazy. Never would I have thought that the article that I wrote in just a few hours' time , amended only twice can actually get selected to be published. I was seriously lucky. 3. Be good to your body and mind  What I have been doing pretty consistent for the past few months is the food that I put in my body and working out. Exercise helps to clear my head from all the work stress and etc. I always feel e...

Hello, it has been a long while since i've posted something here. I have been writing in writing in my journal lately but am not consistent with it because writing with a pen takes much more time and energy. Sometimes, my pen and my thoughts couldn't be aligned because i think much faster than i could write. Hence why, i have decided to restart my blog again. I almost wanted to delete this blog and start a new one but something stopped me. My previous posts stopped me because they are my babies and i can't just wipe them off and have a brand new start. Life isn't like that. We are who we are now because of our experiences. My blog wouldn't be the same without my previous motivational posts. I want to continue writing motivational posts for various reasons. Well, at least the first one is to keep myself motivated and second, i want to spread positivity. Writing helps me a lot more than i know. Most of my posts were written when i was emotionally unwell. I find writin...

Been pretty down lately because we have lost a close friend. Lost her. Not going down to the sappy sad story cause it is not mine to tell. I felt the effect, much more than I have expected to be. I am strong on some days but some days, I got so affected that I really need some positivity in my life to bring me back up. Work is not helping. I don't know what else to be honest.. So much has happened and still happening. I don't know how to feel. Not feeling like disappearing anymore after I have told everything stored deep down in my heart to my boyfriend. Now I am just solely affected by what has happened very recently. It was sad, angry, frustrated and everything negative. sigh. I don't really know how to get over this. Don't think I can though. I want to start something new. But what is? Don't think this is a right time to do so yet. I need to be more supportive. I need to be stronger. But sometimes, we have our limits right? sigh. I think I just need som...

Hello! I attended EY's toastmasters club just now. It's funny on like why did I join toastmasters so sudden? Well, I didn't join the club. I was there as a guest as I was invited there by my bf's cousin and he was giving a speech, so why not attend to support. I was given an opportunity to speak on an impromptu speech. Firstly, I couldn't connect to the topic given. Secondly, I didn't take my time to structure my speech. Third and lastly, I think my speech was a flop even though they commented that I was a natural but I still think it wasn't good, at least not to my par. Yes, I admit I have very high standards that sometimes I could be very hard on myself. After everything has ended, it has taught me a few things, more of like made me realised of a few things. Firstly, made me realise that I have a well versed bf. I like how he structured his speech in such a short time and how he could connect to the audience. Almost everyone liked his speech includin...

Hello all, Long time no post. *insert dark moon emoji* It has been a long while since i've posted my published work on Leaderonomics. Not feeling overly inspired to write these few days. Been focusing a lot on myself. Mainly my lifestyle like, been starting to gym again after stopping for so long. Yes, my body aches almost everyday for the past 2 weeks already but I'm liking this discipline and motivation to keep going. It's even better when there's someone that goes to the gym with you, i.e., my little sister and/or my boyf. It's really fun. I did tons of squat sets yesterday and i really love it. The gym last night was packed but it was a good motivation as well seeing everyone doing their routines instead of sitting down and start chatting. They were legit. It was seriously motivating and i love it. Been attending Kungfu class for the pass 2 months and i'm not feeling it anymore. Mainly , maybe because of the sifu where he doesn't really teach and...
