Yay! I managed to win 2 tickets but I watched it alone. *Pats self on the back*

I just got a cup holder while I see others get shirts =( Maybe the staff saw that I am too fat... The standard gift given to everyone was a box of magnets. I had no idea why the heck but I soon found out =D

As usual biased towards Americans type of storyline. Had a good laugh but no one to share it with, maybe not so joyful after all. I suppose it's because I forgot to brush my teeth...

The reason why I have so few friends

I wouldn't say I got my mind blown by this but I have been enlightened long ago that I have no control over what others think nor speak of me thus I will control what I can control. Unbeknownst to many, parents will always want to impart good things to their children in hopes that they will do good as well. In following that line of teaching, I would say that I have been good to others especially those who have been good to me.

Another strange thing about me is that although I am HIGHLY unreligious, I know quite a fair bit of many religions. And one of the best teachings I have ever come across was, "do unto others as you would have done unto you". Some teachings calls this karma which essentially preaches the same thing i.e. what goes around, comes around.

Things happen and this happens?

Or maybe I am just really fucked up?

Gadgets showoff 2015 :p

It has been a long time since I have posted the things I have gotten so I might just do it in just a condensed 1 post here now.

I was pretty lucky to get this in the company lucky draw, now it is used for work by accessing company email =_="

Felt like I wanna jump on the supposed healthy bandwagon so bought this although I was quite close to broke at that time. Now the strap is broken :(

My watch cannot keep time anymore so I settled for a cheap alternative first while still looking for a good watch

Got a fair bonus amount so I decided to give myself a treat, preparation for my trip as well =D

I think that is about it for now. Still looking around for accessories for the Yi Action Camera. A colleague of mine volunteered to search for me and I think he found some interesting selections. Have to wait for his collective shipment though...

Yeah, what he said...

Just...

Sucks to be an option and never a priority

This morning I read an article about a topic which I was introduced more than 10 years ago but never fully understood until I was really affected by it but not able to realize it still. It was with the help of an unlikely friend who was caring enough to act upon a news. This friend didn't need to spend time to reach out and pull me out of my darkness but I am glad my friend did it and I was able to stand up again although it still might cause a little unrest every time I think about those times.

Anyhows, all the main points touched upon were like hitting a nail squarely on its head. He said that when you are just an option:

• It hurts worse than anything
• It's the most embarrassing feeling in the world
• It makes you question your self worth
• Your future and your life have been completely altered, and it’s scary
• It makes you question your perception of the world, of life and of your personal reality
• It pisses you off and, in a way, motivates you
• It makes you realize you need to slow down, retrace your steps, regroup and redirect

It was like a revelation. All his writings echoed what was buried deep in me but strangely for me, I am not able to express it. In a way it was liberating that I was not alone. It is insanely ironic that I already know this since I was introduced to it more than 10 years ago LOL!

I feel that guys are sometimes poor souls that have to suffer in silence but have to put up a strong face each and every day. You know you have to stand up and move forward but it is like the signals to move never made it to your feet to move. You so want to move but unable to.

Sometimes you do things exactly the opposite of what your mind is telling you. Crazy as it sounds but what you want is to actually just get the response which you already know. Seriously, how dumb can you be???  Makes me wonder how many times do I have to tell myself to stop?

Maybe I'll start by putting some distance. Maybe I'll get another drink...
