Past, Present or Future?

Do we live in our past, present, or future? 

Which one would you choose? 

To dwell in your past, to live for the present, or to anticipate your future?

For me, I would say, live for the present. The elders would say, remember your past, learn from your mistakes. What happened in the past, stays in the past. Throw it in a box, lock it up, and dispose it. It's a done deal. What I'm really trying to say is, why waste your time bickering over matters that you think you should have or should not have done. 

The future? No nobody knows what lies ahead of us right? If we do, then there will be no excitement, will there?

The present. I would say, I live your life like its the last day. Seriously, we have no clue what so ever what tomorrow will be like. Maybe its just another mundane day or maybe you no longer cease to exists. You wake up one morning and just do whatever that comes to your mind. Feel like savouring a large bowl of local delicacy, just drive down and get it. Feel like throwing your hands up in the air and waving like a mad person? Just do it. Feel like dropping all you work (In my case, it would be tonnes of lab work!) and to just sing your lungs out at KTV, then drop all your work. Climbing up a tower and screaming your lungs out? Do it! Be spontaneous, do whatever comes to mind. Of course work is important, not asking you to basically ditch everything all the time (unless you can afford to do so, which is cool by the way), but work and commitments are not what life is all about. You have to go out there and do something. With friends, make some memories. Travel. Have conversations. Meet new people. Eat new stuff. Doing something insanely ridiculous. At the end of the day, you would have so much to tell and people could tell that you have lived your life. You could die feeling like a legend.

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.” - William. W. Purkey

I'm back!

After long dinosaurous years, I'm back! I could swear I saw virtual spider webs clinging on the sides of this ancient blog. Yes, ancient. The last post was back in 2011. Phew! Got to start the engine and see where it takes me. Not sure what will I focus on but I'm determined to post something up everyday. Ambitious? Nah. I've got to improve my writing skills. Adios for now! *peace out* 

Rain & The Smell of Hope

How the weather will turn up in a day is unpredictable. Even the meteorologists makes mistakes. But that's where the anticipation lies, ain't it? Most of us complain when its blazing hot, how sweaty you'll get by the time you get to class, how much tanner you'll get if you're exposed to the sun to much. When it rain, most of us complain that it ruins you plan for the day. So,all in all, we can't stand the sun and can't stand the rain either?. But the rain, it truly means something to some of us, especially me. After a long day of sunshine and hot weather, then it rains...

There is certain kind of smell that you'll get when it starts raining after a long day of sun....I call it the smell of hope. For most people, it's an awful smell. After a long day, may it be bad, mundane or it's just not a good day for you, you just stare at rain and you'll have a feeling that all the one-day-crap is washed away. Let the rain wash away your sorrow. Let the rain wipe away your misery and sadness. You would say, how is that even possible? I will say, it is possible if you look at things differently. :)  If you don't mind getting wet and maybe falling sick, just go out there and enjoy the rain! Take a slow walk, put your mind off things....Trust me, after that, you'll feel much better.
