"Do what you love most and make sure that you're happy doing it", can sometimes be an over-statement. You can't always do something you love without other people having second thoughts about it. They just wouldn't understand you. They would never understand who you are or what you want. There's always ways to talk you down.
But it really depends on yourself actually. How much fight do you want to put up with or just don't give a damn about any of them and JUST DO what you want. Trusting your own heart is the most important thing. No one can ever talk you down, if you believe strongly in yourself (heart).
You may be doing the "right" thing, but is that really the right thing to do? Doing that "right" thing is only what other people presumes to be the "right" thing. Therefore, it is never a right thing to do.
New beginnings are always so hard on the beginners. And the amateurs seem to know better.
"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering." - Ben Okri

Living the moment
The experience of living in the moment, I now understand. A lecturer of mine once reminded us to live in the present (this very moment), not in the past nor for the future. Do what we have to do right now and not later. It's a pretty simple concept actually, and you may say its common sense. We all know it. Of course! But do we ever really live in this very moment without wanting the next moment to come faster or slower?
My coursemates and I have just finished our degree course. Many have already started looking for jobs, internships, scholarships to further their studies and maybe many like me, taking it easy in the meantime, while we wait for the durians to drop.
As advance as our smartphones and internet connections have become, we seemed to have forgotten the person sitting beside us. We all know these technologies have greatly helped us in making things move faster, thus saving us more time for "other things". Well, I may be stating the obvious here, but I think you get my point. We may end up like in that Bruce Willis movie, The Surrogates, but that would be an extreme scenario, I hope.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell the world that I'm already missing my friends. To my besties, Alen, ky, cw, and pk, I miss you all v. v. much. Those times when we crack up into laughing fits, pan mee for lunch and dinners, moo cows and many more, I will cherish them forever. Thank you for letting me live the moment! Let no distance or boundaries separate us. Ever.

Under the hood
What have i been doing these 3 years?
What happened to me?
I feel like I had fell into an abyss
All the things that I had left to miss
Was I going the right path?
This abyss is from another world
and I had to change much of myself to fit in.
Did I evolve so much that I had forgotten who I was?
I needed to hide my old self
and put on a new cloak to get along
Couldn't express myself
'Cause they wouldn't understand
Couldn't do the things i like to do
'Cause they wouldn't understand either
This balance I am on
Is now not balanced anymore
Now that I suddenly felt the ground
There's a thick cloud above me
So thick that i couldn't see the sky
How do I get back up?

This is what keeps me going...?
If once you are too serious on something, stop and take a break. Don't take it so seriously. You only make it un-enjoyable and every obstacle becomes even more frustrating.

A movie like no other
Life is like a movie,
except in movies, it doesn't show you what occurs in between one scene to another.
except in movies, it doesn't show you what occurs in between one scene to another.
Think before you say
It's easy to rank yourself and others,
but if you can't judge yourself,
what makes you think you could judge others as well?

What is that you said?
i know no meaning of "giving up". Cuz it isn't in my vocabulary...that's why.
