Inspiration

I came across THIS today and I think it’s both very inspiring and sad at the same time. When I was younger, I was protected in a bubble that made me naive enough to think that the world is a safe and happy place to live in. That ‘happily ever after’ is not just a fantasy. How wrong was I??

So when I come across stories like these, it depresses me to know that there ARE actually people going through these hardships. I am really glad that there are campaigns like these who commit to help others. I am surely inspired to do the same for those in Brunei. I get really teary-eyed when I hear stories similar to these which are happening in Brunei. I can only pray for the best for everyone.

Talents of the Infamous

Sometimes when I get bored, and have nothing else to browse on the internet… I go to YouTube and search “Acoustic Cover”. Yes, i’m a sucker for awesome acoustic cover versions by the infamous. And most of the time (almost ALL the time), I find someone who is really REALLY good and I just wish I can sing HALF as good as they can. So today… I came across this lady here… Did NOT expect that voice to come out of her.. seriously. Have a listen:

And because of these people… I grab my guitar and motivated to sing like them. BUT TO NO AVAIL!! HAHAHAHA.

I miss watching talented people on stage. I miss watching gigs. Oasis is on tour in the UK at the moment (Cardiff on the 12th i think)… I wanna go!! I should have not gone on seetickets.com. Sakit hati saja.. haha

Always start with a dream

Today… I feel defeated. This is the first time I’ve felt this way ever since I came back. There are so many things that I want to do… buy I’ve recently realized that it is now close to impossible. I envy those who are doing what they are passionate about. Crossing out their list one by one.

Maybe it’s just today. Or maybe it is because i have finally seen how the system really works. And it’s not promising.

My mind has been going crazy ever since I attended the Environment Youth Envoys (EYEs) Workshop for the past 3 days. I have no idea why. Maybe I’m just exhausted because I haven’t had a day off for the past week. I’m physically tired, but now with all this thinking… I am mentally EXHAUSTED! I seriously need a break. My mind needs a break.

And with that….. Good night everyone.

Let’s hope for a better tomorrow :)
