This is me, selling out

I once created a Tumblr account. Then just as i was about to create my first post, i came back to my blogger account and decided i didnt want to leave my old posts behind and deleted that tumblr account.

And now blogger decided ive used their services too long because my picasa album is now full and i cant upload any more pictures to this blog. So im not deleting any old posts, instead, im leaving this here and moving to tumblr. So long blogger. 

RELINK. 

Have a heart

Ive often wondered what drives people to make decisions and choices that affect the people around them adversely, when i couldnt even imagine, well, imagining the act itself.

What happens to a person inside? What are they missing? or perhaps, what have they lost?
Many a time, these people are referred to as heartless beings. And i find myself thinking, what does an organ that pumps blood throughout my body have to do with my actions and my emotions? and why would you say they were heartless, when both you and i very well know he has a heart. Or if he really doesn't, his actions are the least of our worries, what the hell is he?

That leads me to the phrase "we're only human". Whats so "only" about being human? What other race do we know of? But i digress.

I think we relate our hearts to feelings and emotions simply because of how important a heart is to a human being. Without a heart, we are dead. Without good thoughts, feelings and emotions, without sympathy, without faith, we incapable of living. Of course we continue breathing, but are we really living?

As "only" humans, we are driven by our feelings. So why spend another day in self-pity? Why live another day counting down why your life kinda sucks? Why spend this day wondering why the other guy/chick is so damn happy?

You dont climb out of whatever pit you have buried your self in, in a day. It takes a heart. It takes will. It takes a pinch of love from everyone around you. Im always inspired by things around me to live a better tomorrow. To laugh a little more. To think less of what i think im missing and focus on what makes MY life worth living.

I was inspired to write about our hearts whilst grocery shopping with my mum ( like i said, things around me). Specifically while i was picking potatoes. I came across this heart-shaped potato and imediately thought "Who says you cant grow a heart?" 

So there. I have faith in you. You, who thinks im an utter fool for sharing my thoughts online. You, who thinks you have nothing to live for. or You, who feels wonderful making someone else's life a living hell.

No i didnt buy that potato. I decided id let the next person who saw it smile to themselves as they thought of a heart related joke. I did take a picture of it to share with you. :)

p/s: I wanted to buy that potato so bad. Wanting to keep the heart-shaped potato for myself. My mum said no. Selfish of me, i know. But hey, Im only human. :)

Due to a little rift i had with Hotmail, my old hotmail email address is now dead. And because i do intend on using msn again, would you all be dolls and add me to your contact lists with my new email address?

Much love. :)

19 going on 5

So i went to Hong Kong in September. It was bloody fun. 

Disneyland, is only the best place you can be. I cant put it into words really. Its just, no matter how old you are, Disney makes the day better. Seriously. I bet, you couldn't tell me honestly that every time you see that castle and the shooting star (or wtv) going over it and the tune, you dont get excited. 

Even my mum gets excited i reckon. 

There was lotsa stuff at Disneyland. 

Buzz. 

This nice lady.

Stroller Parking. 

Yea. Stroller parking among other wonderland-ish things. (just assuming its bloody wonderful for parents to have a place to park their kids strollers) 

There was a typhoon while we were there (we were already in the city at that point). That was fun seeing as how Malaysia is mostly shielded from natural disasters ( touches wood. chucks salt over my shoulder.) 

Food was yummy. Public transport was ace. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry though. 

Major downside: Everything was high rise. Just a mass of buildings clumped together. I dont think id be able to not have a house with a garden and dogs. 

If youre a complete city person, and you dont really fancy the jungle and trees and wildlife, get your arse down to Hong Kong cause youre gonna be in heaven. 

If  Malaysia adapted a fragment of the efficiency and convenience Hong Kong public transport offered, id be a MUCH happier person. But then again, the Malaysia Government has stopped taking my advice. ;) 

Did i mention i satisfied a load of celebrity induced wishes? 

Best holiday in a long time. 

Birthday MAN

Aaron turns 19 in 4 days.
Today he's just a lucky boy  man.

crazy.

Classes have ended, and one out of three revision sessions have finished. Im not there yet, but i will be there soon. At that point where i can confidently leave home and get my papers over and done with. The year always seems to go by faster when you enjoy what your doing.

Last semester was the slowest part of these past two years. This semester seems to be the fastest. Too fast. I barely had time to catch my breath.

Rotaract has been a bit of an escape. An excuse to leave home. An outlet other than nerd land.

Our purpose is to help. develop. learn.

Right now we're basically getting to know each other.

Last month we helped plant mangrove trees in this god-forsaken place. That place really did need the trees. It was hot and dry beyond wonder and thought.

Its good to know that we contributed a bit of sweat and some (bloody!) hard work to make a difference.

I got ten shades darker. That was so long ago, ive already gotten 11 shades fairer.

My blog-time is very messed up.

Ill be back.

(maybe)
