2021

Today, out of a sudden, I remember the existence of this blog. *blowing dust*

While trying to stop myself from reading all my previous posts to stop myself from cringing to death, I deleted two other hidden blogs which I owned after my previous relationship.

Those good old memories, the emotional and immature Mei Kin. It's time to say goodbye :)

Thank you for all the good memories. 
Thank you for making me who I am today.
Thank you for being you.

#15022016

I don't know why all of a sudden I open up my blog and read my previous posts. Reading while smiling, and realise how foolish I was last time, how childish I was, how narrow-minded. Some small problems looked big then, and over-emotional, over-reacting to things, over-emo. I hope I changed, to a better me, now :)

One and a half month into 2016, and I tried to look back and remember what I did to change my life.

THANK GOD, I graduated ^_^

Went for a few interviews, rejected a few interview offers, got a few job offers, accepted a few and rejected a few. Ended up, still JOBLESS. Well well well... Challenges in life come in many forms >_^

Can say that I've gotten over this guy named Ong Foo Kiat, since the day he blurted out that he had a new girlfriend, out of no where, without a sign. I consider this, a good change for me. *pat own shoulder* 

Hoping for more good things to come, most importantly, GET A JOB.

And not forgetting, FIND A BOYFRIEND. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

May we all have a blessed and healthy 2016~!

DEMOTIVATED

I've turned down what I see as a golden opportunity for my career kick start

And here I am, just got back from the worst interview I've ever attended so far in my life. An interview that makes me so down and demotivated. An interview that makes me feel like I'm not good enough to chase that dream and passion of mine

And so before I forget this feeling and do something crazy, like asking that company to take me in again after I rejected their offer last Monday, I want to write this. To serve as my personal reminder that :

NO! Don't cause people problem. You've rejected them to chase what you said was your dream and passion. So move on! Get on with it! Don't look back! Even if you must, look for new job offers. No going back to this!

Ok, Mei Kin. Take note k. :)

The Letter

It all started with the recent death of one very close friend of mine. He passed away from what I can say,  a horrible motorcycle-lorry accident. Being at the hospital, looking at his dead body for one last time really changed my thoughts, my views, and my way I want to continue this life.

I started realizing that I've wasted quite a period of my life, quarreling, fighting, cold war etc etc with people that I actually care a lot about. It dawned upon me at that time : why continue the fight, the cold war? Why the ego if I don't even know when will be my last day?

I went home, I start making calls. I start sending messages. I start saying things that I dared not say in the past, for the fear of a fight, even though I know what I say is right. I tried to make things right. I contacted people who I cared, but were having cold wars with at that time. I want to make things right before it's too late. 

Thank God. So far so good. I'm happier leading my life like this. I feel better that I lowered my ego and talked to those people. I'm glad we are in talking terms again. 

And of course, I contacted someone who I last contacted 3 years ago. Someone who I had major fight with. Someone who I used to be so close with, yet I did not manage to set things right before he left. And he was once someone who promised to be there through everything. But due to a misunderstanding, we became strangers.

I asked for his address, I wrote him a letter. I apologized for things that ever happened. Even though he did admitted before that "this is one mistake I did that I never want you to know", but why bother who is right and who is wrong? Things were ugly, and that was 3 years ago. I thanked him and reminded him of the beautiful memories instead : him helping me to climb up pillars to hang banners at 1am, things like that. I realized it's no longer the time to look back and investigate.

This letter reached its owner on 1st Ramadhan. He, in turn, went the extra mile, asked for my phone number from one of our mutual friend, and texted me. He apologized, and he said thank you for making his Ramadhan more beautiful. You know the way we celebrate this Holy month is to forgive and forget the past, seek forgiveness, know that people had forgiven us, things like that.

I'm glad i made the move to write the letter, though it might be 3 years late. At least it make things right before it's too late. 

And it's a "happily-ever-after" ending

Dear friends, 

Draft your letter now, before it's too late.


Happy Ramadhan, Friends!

Surviving

I am alive
I am surviving 

I wish I have something like a end-of-challenge reward in the form of a vacation to look forward to
Call me immature, call me childish. But such a reward waiting for me at the end of a challenge/hardship/hardwork makes me work harder and wanting to success faster

I have a 2-month-challenge which I told NO ONE, except one of my best friend who successfully placed a wild guess
Day after day, I lose hope on the challenge
Not because I don't want to accept it, NO!
I accept the challenge with mix feelings, but day after day, I realise it is getting harder

Things are spoiling, and I am spending more and more to buy and get it done. 
Methods after methods fail, till I was even told to put a stop on that. 
How can I not give up, how can I not lose hope?

Yes, I am stronger than this. 
I started it, so I shall end it...

I am living
I am breathing
I am surviving...

That Breaking Point

These few weeks are hard... I don't mean to say that my life is the hardest, I suffer more than most people... NO. I am just feeling that I am having quite a hard time these few weeks... Compared to my normal days... That's all...

With the BIG stone of being an engineering student, doing engineering things, building this and that though all that are not my specialties, nor have I learnt or know how to do it...

And the cancellation of my project's deal, due to insufficient fund from that company...

I never meant to, and I don't want to. But I broke down TWICE, in front of my supervisor today. Instantly feeling guilty looking at his expressions. I've really covered my frustration well, till today...

I'm sorry Prof... I really don't mean to break down in front of you...

Say NO to Dramas

I'm in the middle of transition period. Maybe it's too late, when some other friends of mine have already gone through this period.

The period of being alone,
the period of everyone you are close with are no longer there,
the period of having no one to randomly text and say "Let's lunch!",
the period of learning to live alone and SURVIVE.

Yes, I am currently in this period. My bestfriends are at different places in earth. Among others :
a) Other universities taking Master
b) Other laboratories or departments, taking Master with new friends and gang
c) Working oversea
d) Working at other states, not in Kuching
e) At their hometown, waiting for graduation

And so, I have to learn to survive alone here. With only ONE goal now :
Graduation 2015

And because I know I can no longer be the cry-baby I used to be, because I know I can no longer throw tantrum and all of a sudden say "I'm unhappy, let's go out for ice-creams!" and things like that, because i know things will be different, I can no longer afford any dramas in my life, cos I know this time, any dramas, I'll have to face them alone, and I am not strong enough to face so many of them.

That explains why I am avoiding some people. Why I talk less. Why I prefer to walk alone, eat alone and jog alone. 

And so, when someone tries to cause a drama, I began avoiding her. 

What happen, you asked?

There's this 22-year-old girl, who heroically took up the vice-president post of the biggest, busiest, and most challenging college in the university. And yet, she has no enough strength and determination to go through it, but still wants to hold on to that post, and tried too hard to please her "sister", although her "sister" did not expect anything from her after knowing she is yet to be capable of doing big things. 

One day, she broke down. Due to her OWN overthinking. Because she did not heed her "sister"s advice to be honest and deal with things directly, cos she is too coward to tell the truth, cos she choose to bottle things up in her, cos she likes to think that everyone is burdening her (though that is not true), she broke down. In a terrible way. 22 sticks of cigarettes, and she was so so so proud of it that she told her concern "sister" 
"I am big enough and mature enough to know what I am doing. I know I am doing the right thing"

Now, tell me. When you used to be so concerned over someone younger than you that you lost yourself while trying to motivate her, that you lost your own positive vibes cos you gave her all, that you took care of like your own sister, that you helped cos she is your responsibilities not your burden. When someone like that, tell you things like she did the right thing, she is mature enough, needless for you to tell her what she should or should not do. What do you do?

In my case, I start treating her NORMALLY. Like a normal friend. Cos it seems to me that no use pouring advices and trying to pull someone who feels that she knows better, and does not need me. Or am I wrong?

And then when I am stable with my life, she starts again with telling my friends we quarreled, till my bestfriend posted things saying that I shouldn't be angry at her till I forget all good things she did to me.

And so, I am the one who carry the blame at the end, huh?

It's ok. As long as no dramas in my life. I am fine :)
