How Do You Wake Up Early?

This is the problem that I have been having for quite sometimes now. I couldn't make it a habit to wake up early anymore! The earliest I could wake up on a weekdays is 8am (minus snoozing the alarm), and 9am on weekend.

I wanted to make it a habit to wake up at 6 or 7 in the morning, so that I could go for a jog or do my workout in the morning, but until today, I have failed to do so. No matter how early I went to bed at night, the result is still the same.

I still remember when I first came to KL for study and in my first month, I always wake up as early as 6 or 7 in the morning. I will boil some hot water, make myself a cup of coffee, sit at the balcony of my apartment and enjoy the morning scenery.

Thanks to the last minute of burning midnight oil for assignments, DOTA, online games, 24 hours mamak and late night movie, I began to go to bed very late (and sometimes sleepless), and starts waking up late too. Since then it became a habit and waking up early is always a struggle for me.

So how did you all do it? Waking up early. I desperately need to learn because I've always been late to the office, tho its just around 15-20 minutes walk from my house and my work start at 9am. Haha, I know right...

Do let me know your suggestions. You can help change my life today, haha =)

Welcome to Existence

Happy Monday people! I hope you enjoyed the long weekend better than I do =)

Sometimes I wonder, have I asked too much from my life? The long weekend hasn't really given me anything extraordinary, but a space enough to questions myself about the universe and my existence.

I was thinking about the decision that I had made to come back to KL, and leave behind my life in Sabah. I was spiritually dried back then, life became so stagnant for me and I felt a strong urge to come back to KL to be revive again.

Now that I'm here in KL, life wasn't all lollipops and cotton candy. I have more responsibilities and more things to take care of compared to back in Sabah - rental, bills, foods, time management and et cetera. In KL, I only have super less than what I have back home, and I get frustrated over it for many times now.

I can't go where I want to at anytime I wish, I don't have a good-to-go friends, I'm just a prisoner in my own incapability. I spend my long weekend like every ordinary weekend, and it's really pissed me off because I woke up in the morning hoping that it would somehow be different.

I guessed you just can't have everything in life to go according to your ways. I gave up a life in Sabah which I have a home to go back to, loving and caring parents to welcome me at home, an old car that can take me to anywhere I want at anytime I wish, friends that won't hesitate to hangout at anytime, natures, I can even have extra cash for savings...

In KL, I only have the house of God, more responsibilities and a job just barely enough to keep me survive each month. Haha, don't get me wrong. I'm not writing to complaint, but I just wanted to remind myself that there is always a price to pay for what I've wish for, and in all situations, I should learn to be thankful and learn to enjoy every moment of it.

Today, I've failed to learn to enjoy. Let's restart again tomorrow, shall we? =)

Until next time, see you around my friend!

Amanda Seyfried | The Gorgeous Blonde

She does look a lot different in 'In Time', perhaps its the 7 inch (or taller) heels that she keep wearing and running around with, but obviously she's getting hotter by years. The short red hair does help brings out that emo side of her in the movie, haha.

Her most memorable costume in a movie for me is Red Riding Hood. The pale white skin, shimmering golden blonde hair, the red hood, white snow... Yeah the trailer is the main reason why I go for the movie, haha.

Anyway, I still prefer her in blonde, and she have such beautiful eyes. Gorgeous! :D

Understanding Your Infatuation

by Daniel Chiam

I know I have a guideline for almost everything in life. Including relationship. The reason why I was struggling through that period of time where I have an infatuation for a girl, is just simply because I know its not the right thing to do, as it was already way off course from the guideline that I have set.

Sometimes, the feeling of infatuation can be misunderstand as 'love' when it is actually only a temporary desire which is being triggered by the circumstances that's affecting you. Maybe you were lonely, you just got out of a bad relationship, or because it's just a peer pressure. 

If you could only understand where that feeling comes from, then you'll be able to determine whether you are actually in love or it's just merely an infatuation. I don't wish to get into a wrong relationship, which in the end just could not work out for the both of us.

Some of you might say, I shouldn't be afraid and just take the risk, some risk are worth taken, you never try you'll never know... Well, I have seen and heard a lot about the successful and the failure of one relationship among my circles of friends and their circles of friends. 

I know that everyone is different but some principals are still remain the same no matter who you are. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a perfect girl for a perfect relationship, because I am not perfect also. I just wanted to find the one that I can start off in a right way and hopefully end up like every fairy tale stories - they live happily ever after.

Movie Review: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Mind-boggling 8/10

This is one of the best romantic fantasy film that I have seen, that uses science fiction and psychological thriller story telling. Simply the best story line and best acting by the cast!

If you haven't seen this one, then you should go get it now! 

It's one of the most brilliant and genius story that people can come out with. I don't even know how to write this without spoiling anything about the movie itself. It has a lot of twist and turn in the movie and yet you won't really get lost in it. Its just smart!

Each moment and scene in the movie brings a warmth and sentimental value that really captures your heart. It's not just a made up story that you can't relate to. It has a personal touch to it, and things that you can really relate to.

Not the easiest movie name to remember. Great story telling. Mind boggling at first, but an experience like non other. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet's chemistry and performance was just breathtaking.

-Victor Yu Kern Sui

Overall it is a must watch film. It's not just a great movie to watch, but it's also come with a great message that will makes you ponder of what you wish for in a romance, in a relationship.

Until next time, see you around my friend =)
