passion, contentment & happiness

-





I've been thinking what makes me so passionate about Taekwon-Do these years, especially that I am not personally so involved in rigorous trainings or tournaments. I don't think I am fit enough and capable of sitting for further gradings even though I want to. And now because of the pandemic the financial income is honestly quite worrying too. I don't really fit into the group of friends there too because they're all guys and it's not nice for me hang around with them all the time. 

But I think, maybe --- it's a quick escape for me.

A place and time where I can just be myself for a moment and not worry about anything or anyone else. It's like I could leave all the heavy burdens and responsibilities behind. And because the emotional barriers are lifted for a short while, I feel that I could be happy inside.

March 2020 New Zealand trip presented me a chance to experience and discover a phenomenal yet shocking emotional transition.

I discovered that I had not felt the sense of 'happiness' for quite sometime, perhaps some years, and I had forgotten what or how being truly happy felt like.

I spent the first two days there confused and drowned in my own thoughts. I was upset with myself that I had not even noticed that I forgotten something so important.

Within that two days friends started to notice my mood changes, and I was thankful that a couple of them took the courage to approach me and ask if things were okay. That was when I had to tell myself to snap out of it so that I will not waste the remaining days trapped under my own emotional cave, trying to endlessly figure out what is going on inside me.

Live the moment.
Do not cry over the past.
Do not worry about the future.

Perhaps, Taekwon-Do gave me the courage to continue living and try to be content and happy.

Want some oil-less keropok lekor ? Got some in your freezer but using air-fryer will make them dry and hard to chew? Here's the tips: 1. Take them out of the freezer 2. Defrost / soak them in warm water to separate each piece. 3. If it 's still frozen, dip it in boiling water for a few seconds;     if not, hot water is enough. 4. Toss away the water. 5. Cut it into smaller pieces. You can also cut it before Step 3 if you want. 5. 'Fry' the keropok lekor inside the air-fryer for 10 minutes, at 180 degrees Celcius. Kalau ada yang KEMPUNAN tapi TAK TAU KAT MANA NAK BELI YG SEDAP KAT KL ni, boleh beli dari kawan saya

right person at the wrong time

right person at the wrong time that feeling when you meet the right person at the wrong time is one of the hardest feelings to go through it's definitely not spoken about hard enough the chemistry you have together are matched you really like each other a lot maybe you even love each other but you know that it is impossible for you to be together right now circumstances just don't allow it but you're in denial you still have hope so every single night when your head hits the pillow you lie there trusting the universe to maybe, just maybe, one day bring that person back into your life...
