Education System and Life (It relates!)

The Education System! Such a great masterpiece created by bright minds to filter all the smart seeds and the rest will stay that way unaccepted and unwanted. I mean its never wrong for Unis , Govts and employers to want smart people (Judge mainly on their results and their progress in classes , lectures and ya-dah ya-dah) pshhht!!! Even if I were to find workers I'd prefer smart people . Its really not wrong , what's wrong is the concept in everyone's mind ... that results and grades come first no matter what and the rest just stay as a side dish .

I'm talking in a student point of view , i get how it feels like being not so smart compared to all of your friends .It's difficult , your friend tries 10 times and they succeed in understanding but when you try 10 times , you still end up looking out the window asking God WHO.THE.HELL created this alien language or sign! You ask for your lecturers help they seem to have a gazillion things in mind and could hardly make time for you , you choose not to disturb your friends because you know everyone is busy with their own work , you can't ask your parents because they've obviously forgot what they've learned in college like 20-30years ago and the last resolution is to study the text book which you always end up dozing off after the first few pages .

"Some people are just not meant for that Full On Studying (Just reading books and doing homework kinda thing ya-know?) some people are just more on the study + Fun kind of plan !(more holistic education system and out-spoken) " *Unfortunately in Malaysia we don't practice that kind of education system no matter how much the MOE try to fit in co-curricular activities in it , the mindset is just there . It's always results before co-curricular activities and stuff u get it? when we grow older , we tend to have problems speaking out , making decisions (because we didn't have to make decisions when we are younger in high school) and we just become dull ! * it makes all of us feel like this:

Its just difficult no matter how much u turn the Rubik Cube you just can't seem to find see light through it.

Imagine if one day , all the teachers and lecturers suddenly become enthusiastic in their job , imagine if one day assignments and fun activities are part of determining your grades, this not just prepares people for the uni life ahead , it also helps build better creativity and imaginations! its like

After all , at the end of the day , results and grades does not determine who you will be in the future , in the working society ! Just because you passed College with flying colors , just because you graduated from Some first class university doesn't mean you'll be successful , doesn't mean you can think out of the box and go with your own rules , doesn't make you a better person to build a better society ; While being a college drop out , a uni drop out , 3rd class degree graduate from law school , BBB for your A-lvls doesn't mean you will never be successful , doesn't make you a failure in life! most successful people don't have great results when they're in high school , college and university ! Experience is what makes a person wiser and closer to success.

At times when i really thought i could make it high up , i fall on my knees , people always tell me if you don't have the qualification why aim so high up?? Interest and dreams won't exactly give you a promising future . I push away all of those criticism , i stand on my feet and tell myself , i can only live once and if i keep doubting myself and allowing others to push me down , I'm no more than a sad puppet ! I'm gonna live my life for myself and do what i want even if it means failing I'll keep trying .

PS: the truth is , there is no truth because behind every single truth there is a lie.

Fantastic Food , Great Service

Food is an essential item in our life , its like a type of enjoyment in life , a type of happiness that comes easily and it is also a type of satisfaction you get from tasting the best flavors the chef can put on the table. What makes food so great is not just the flavors on the plate but also the service they provide , a sense of feeling at home , friendly faces and interesting conversations that is what makes a restaurant on top of the rest .

Straight to the point! I bet everyone of you have tried Italian food before whether if its a fusion Italian food , modern Italian food , or Traditional Italian Food , nothing beats HOMEMADE ITALIAN FOOD BY THE ITALIANS themselves! Osteria Real Blue Restaurant at SOLARIS DUTAMAS

Osteria in Italian means a small and cheap cafe . To be honest i've never tried homemade Italian food , the only "ITALIAN FOOD" which is not so "ITALIAN" is probably Pasta at Delicious or Pizza Hut or by my mom!

For Starters we ordered # Caprese Di Bufala Tomato, Bufala Mozzarella, Oregano, Olive Oil PS: The Mozzarella cheese is very fresh and surprisingly not very tarty and salty :)

__________ TIPS: How to check if your Mozzarella Cheese is fresh or not , use your fork or anything (JUST NOT YOUR FINGERS) gently put pressure on the flat surface of the cheese. If you see milk coming out from the cheese , you know that the Chef ain't lying about the cheese being FRESH :) __________ For First Dishes we ordered # Gnocchi Al Formaggio, Pancetta e Noci Gnocchi with Cheese, Bacon ham and Nuts

# Ravioli Di Ricotta e Spinaci Fresh Ravioli Filled with Ricotta Cheese and Spinach in Basil, Butter and Parmesan

PS: The first thing about pastas in Malaysia is that not many are handmade , most of them are prepacked and sent over from overseas or manufactured locally. To find a chef that is willing to take out his rolling pin and start rolling pasta dough out repeatedly , slowly flattening it and cutting it into small pieces (which would take a VERY VERY LONG TIME!) its almost near to IMPOSSIBLE! But you'd be very surprise how much passion this Chef has for his food! Both the Gnocchi and Ravioli are homemade by the chef himself! My favourite is probably the Ravioli! Ravioli looks like dumplings , they come in different shapes and sizes (BUT IT AIN'T DUMPLING! BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEAT IN IT). The texture of the Ravioli is fantastic , its so chewy , milky and soft the flavors explode in your mouth it makes you feel at home . _____________ For the Main Dish we ordered # Filetto Alla Tartara Special Raw and Minced Fillet or Beef Mixed with some(Mustard , egg yolk , pepper and some other stuff i can't remember!) The Green Salad looks pretty normal right? But they added Truffle Oil and some truffles inside to enhance the taste of the salad making it taste like roasted bacon and it is just fantastic! The best salad other than the Mozzarella salad that I had :)

-OK i bet when you see this , the first thing you will say is EWWWW YUCKS?! What RAW MEAT??? I'm not a CAVE MAN!!! I Eat Cooked Food and you will probably question whether or not after eating it you will get Hand Food Mouth Disease or some horrible Illnesses! Well I've tasted it , Tried it and i can tell you that it is not what you imagine it to be , its very tasty , flavorful and the texture is amazing. There are no signs of Blood coming out from the meat , no bad smell , and NO IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE RAW CHICKEN MEAT! The texture is like tuna spread , its very creamy and you can eat it in many different ways for example spreading it on toasted garlic bread , putting some marmalade on it , it is just phenomena! Quote " HOW WOULD YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS NOT NICE IF YOU NEVER EVER TRIED IT BEFORE?" -BRYAN HOMI MEHTA- TIPS: To enjoy red meat more e.g: Beef serve it with a glass of Red Wine However for White meat e.g. Fish serve it with White wine . ___________

For Desert # Crêpes peach and chocolate

Well here is the thing , it just so happens that yesterday that is 10th of August when we went to the restaurant there weren't any crepes but then thanks to the lady boss , she went into the kitchen just to make both of us crepes :) she is such a nice lady! and her crepes was so yummy! i can have more of it! the peach is sweet and sour while the crepe is soft and fluffy . What a simple pleasure!

In Terms of Service i would rate 10/10 In Terms of Food i would rate 9/10 In Terms of Portion i would rate 7/10 In Terms of Satisfaction 10/10 (I'm certainly a very happy consumer!) In Terms of Price i would suggest #( you bring extra money as you have to pay for QUALITY food ) I assure you that you will never regret going to this restaurant it's just amazing and delicious!

thanks to Mr Bryan Homi Mehta for bring me to such a beautiful restaurant for dinner! BEST ITALIAN FOOD EVER!!!!

Failures in life

Every 60 seconds you spend being sad over something / someone is a minute of happiness you can never buy back.

Hey guys sorry for not updating my blog for awhile because i was really busy with some school event .

It was the first time I've ever organized an event.It's called Cirque du Soleil. Well within two weeks our team manage to get sponsors , put up some great set ups for the venue , sold about 140 tickets but everything went smooth until the event day itself. It was raining , the itinerary was screwed up as hell , all the people started leaving half way throughout the event , the crowd was dead , some of the performances are bad , some last minute error with the popcorn machine , our game booths were scrapped , our best dress award procedures were not written down clearly and we had problems with the managements.

It was at that point i realize that , everything that we've dreamt of and picture didn't came true. Nothing went well , everything went wrong. We didn't have enough people looking at the event on that day , we only had 7 people organizing the entire event and 6 of us had performances. We couldn't be on the floor looking over the event. People were laughing and saying "what a bad event and such a waste of time"

At that point of my life , i felt disappointed , i felt like i've led everyone down the drain , i've jumped off the edge of a cliff myself , led the entire club down a ditch , literary take my teacher's reputation and just flung it out the window . The worst thing is that , before all of this happen , i actually promised everyone that this is going to be the best event and stuff to pursue people to buy the tickets and they really had faith in us . Do you know how hard i try to even forget about this event.

I've been running away from all of these problems , running away from the mistakes that i've made , runnin away from all the blame , and i really felt like i'm such an embarrassament , i should just disappear from this College. It was a point in life where i sworn i will never ever do an event again , i couldn't accept failure it wasn't in my book. F.A.I.L.U.R.E is never something that i could take easily. I always think that I will never fail but i was wrong.

Quotes

" you will always picture something to be really perfect but the truth is reality is not like that "

Every time when my mom or anyone ask me about the event , i would just yell and say "CAN U NOT TALK ABOUT IT" IT ALREADY OVER CAN YOU PLEASE STOP FUCKING ASKING ME! its already depressing enough that nothing turned out right , i've been scolded by everyone for gods sake give me a break!

It was hard for me to accept but i think i didn't realize that it was even harder for people around me because i would never smile or talk about it. When people are trying to help me out and try to explain to me that failures are essential in life for you to learn and grow i would definetly COCKBLOCK them. I just burst into tears i really hope that i had a remote control in life so i can rewind it back and just click "select all" and "DELETE" but the truth is , you can never forget or try to erase what you do in life. It's just part of learning and growing .

Always remember

#1 you are not superman , you cannot take the world on your shoulders alone.

#2 even if being strong is not an option anymore , at least talk to someone about it

#3 don't keep everything to yourself cause it will do you no good

#4 when someone is trying to advise you don't cockblock them cause sometimes what they say might be true but because of your fucking ego you just took it forgranted.

#5 never ever lose faith in doing anything after you failure

#6 always plan ahead with your team not just 2 weeks before the event as it will never turn out right.

Look at the bright side , at least after thinking through everything i can finally not stare at the floor when i'm walking in college. I can finally look up and tell everyone "Hey Even Thomas Edison failed 2000 times trying to invent a light bulb and only at his 2001 attempt it manage to invent a light bulb! I've only failed once! I still have 2000 times to learn , grow , develop and succeed "

Quotes

"Success never comes easy , face it , you know you failed more than ones before you manage to spread your wings and fly. "

Nail ARTS

No matter how boy-ish you are , how much you hate going shopping or how much you dislike applying make up , one thing you can never run away from is the satisfaction of getting your nails done by someone else.
It's like a every female favourite thing :)
being able to sit down in a nice seat , being pampered like a queen! having someone to massage your hands and feet for you , clean your nails and apply that gorgeous nail varnish on your finger nails it's just heavenly!
The music around you playing in a soft and swift pace it's just the best thing to do when you are stressed out! go to any nail boutique to get your nails done! it just makes you feel happy after that! Satisfaction level 100% , mood immediately rises up to 101% :)
But one BIG problem about getting a manicure is that its super expensive! especially the ones with the diamonds , blings , 3D or extensions! D:
But fear not!!!! nail polishes can be bought at any Watson shop or cosmetic shops :) so its super convenient!
Well , some nail polishes are not very good so you often don't get the results you expected :/ The best will probably be O.P.I since at any nail boutique you will see them use it ! and it's consider the most expensive brand! The other time i went to a cosmetic shop to check on O.P.I's BURLESQUE collection it cost around RM55 for one bottle of nail varnish! Its so so so expensive D: for teenagers without income like me well i can't afford to buy one!
HOWEVER , have you heard about CHINA GLAZE??!!!
It's like the NEW TALK OF THE TOWN! it gives the same effect as O.P.I but it is not as pricey as O.P.I!
It's coming out in the markets soon :)

Tell your friends about it by sharing their FACEBOOK LINK! For any new Updates about CHINA GLAZE coming to TOWN!

What ifs : Possibilities

" Don't know what tomorrow brings but i'm still hoping that you are the one for me , what if i have you and you have me...." -Jason Derulo- What if

You know there are so many what ifs in this world, so many possibilities and so many steps to take in order to choose the correct path. So many doubts and consequences in life. Aren't you tired? Well i am.
Eg: when you want to buy a bag online , you will have to consider "WHAT IF THE BAG IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT LOOK LIKE??" but after awhile it just kills your desire and you go like "PFFTTTT forget about it...better don't lar even though i like it but yeah...:/ "
Human always have doubts , maybe too much doubts thats why we are often not determined enough to make a decision. Some times in some worst case senario , we'd probably ask someone else to make the decision for us because we are so sick and tired of having so many things to consider. It's just so nerve wrecking !


We are human , we have feelings , we tend to fall in love with this one person but yet there will always be this stage called the mysterious " I DON'T KNOW IF SHE/HE FEELS THE SAME WAY AS I DO " . So we secretly admire them and when people ask "hey why don't you just tell them how you really feel inside?" you will have doubts , fear and anxiety! You'd probably tell that person "ARE YOU CRAZY! WHAT IF HE/SHE DON'T LIKE ME THEN WOULDN'T I LOOK STUPID N SHIT?!" or you might also say "DON'T WANT LAR...LATER HE/SHE DON'T FEEL THE SAME WAY AS I DO THEN THEY AVOID ME "
So because of all these doubts and fear , at the end you choose to keep it all to yourself , sometimes because of our doubts , we missed out on all the chances to be with that person and make that person smile.

At the end of the day , we will probably regret... Even if that relationship was not meant to be and it got screwed up big time at the end , still you would regret on one thing.
"you will regret on the chances you lose , not the chances you take"
even if it turns out all ugly and fucked up , but you can tell yourself "Hey at least we had was what I desired and crave for once upon a time."


Remember those days when you were a kid? you didn't even have to think about whats going to happen tomorrow or next? you just do what you feel is right , and follow your heart? even if it makes you look stupid but at the end of the day it was a good lesson learnt .
MISTAKES ARE MEANT TO BE MADE SO THAT YOU CAN GROW UP AND LEARN HOW TO NOT HIT YOUR HEAD ON THE SAME WALL AGAIN.
_____________________________________________________

Love is a funny little thing :)
You can meet someone 2 years ago at a party and not trust that they like you ,
after 2 years you meet them again at the same party ,
you find out that he/she never really changed and you have a lot in common just that back then you didn't take the initiative to look in it ,
but now you feel that funny little feelings bubbling inside your heart .
you may have doubts like is he/she worth my time ,
is he/she worth me falling in love again

what if i get hurt again ,
what if he/she is the same like the one that broke my heart ?
What if he/she doesn't like me for who i am
what if he/she is just like the rest of them , taking advantage of my willingness to love them head over heels.
So many what ifs so many possibilities. i bet you've learnt this in maths ! Possibilities that anything can happen is probably 10000000000000000000000000000 until it can wrap the world with words for a few rounds!
You only have one life , how long it is no one knows. If you love someone then just give it a go , tell them how you really feel inside. Because you will never know whats going to happen in the end if you never took a step out of your fear circle .


he is worth my time , love and affort because he used his actions to prove that he is capable of keeping his promises. Don't know whats going to happen in the future , but all i know is for now i just hope that moment last forever :)
Happiness , Laughter , Joy , Fearless , Care and Love


Others can talk crap about me, but this is my life , i choose this path myself I'll bare all the consequences because i love him.
I can always talk to him about anything he is like a best friend and lover to me,
laugh about nothing ,
sing songs in the car even though my voice is horrible ,
take a long walk on the beach and sit down watching the sun set ,
watch movies on the couch ,
you remember all the little things that meant a lot to me.
you always crack lame and cold jokes in the car even if its not funny you just make me laugh for no reason :)

Silly Dilly Lily

When reading this post , please use some imagination and picture yourself in it :)

As you sit down by the window , have you ever drift away in thin air? Drift away back when you are really young and back when you had your first boyfriend.
Love when you are young is pure true and innocent love , no demands , no expectations and no worries . Remember how shy you were when a boy first held your hands and you stared down at the floor and start blushing like you applied too much blusher on your face. Back then , holding hands is consider a really big deal , holding hands means a lot but as you grow older and as you step into a different stage in life , love become less innocent , love becomes more demanding , more expectations from the person you love , more responsibilities , more anger , more worries about the future its just different.
Love when you are young and when you are older , its different and has its own pros and cons.

Pros about love when you are young is that love really means pure love , no intention of cheating and love when you are young is more honest because when you are young you tend to be more straight forward . Eg: If i like you , i'll tell you but if i don't , i'll tell you too. Even if you are going to hate me i'll still tell you because we are still young , its not like we are not going to meet other people anyways.

Cons about love when you are young is that , you are too young , its hard to make it last til the end cause you tend to meet a lot of different people along the way and you might find that the interest and attraction between you and him/her just slowly fades away.

Love when you are young is called puppy love , its called pure emotions . Like it take it , don't like it leave it. Its fast and quick unless you've set your mind and decided that he/she will be THE ONE! then that's a different story :)

Love when you get older it gets less innocent , responsibilities take in account , you have to think about the future is he/she the suitable one , is he/she capable to cope up with the life you are living , can he/she be honest and loyal to you. Things just get more complicated when you get older . When you are young , love is like a game , but when you get older , love is not a game anymore , you have to think about so many things is he/she the one that i really love , is he/she the one that can make me happy , is he/she the one that i feel comfortable being with. Time is never prepared to be your friend and wait for you everyday. When you start to age , time just runs faster and you just have to notice that you can't always be taking and leaving love is not a bus stop anymore. Love when you get older tends to get more serious and realistic and not your ordinary fairy tale story.

When you get older being able to show your love to someone by actions, being comfortable with someone ,being able to communicate with that person,being happy everyday when he/she is around, being able to laugh at stupid lame jokes for hours , being able to remove your everyday life mask on your face and be yourself is really all that matters .

Always remember if you love someone don't just say it because its useless , actions speak louder than words. Show them your appreciation even though its just a small action it really means a lot.
Because if you don't , at the end of the day , you will just regret all the chances you missed out and blame it on the TIMING.
