Travelling

Urgh. I have my exams coming up real soon, which is also why I haven't been posting lately :P However, this also means that I have been procrastinating...a lot.. xD

Anyway. I have recently found out about this travel blogger, Brooke Saward, who is pretty much just travelling all around the world for a living. As travelling is one of my interests, I was intrigued! So, I added her on Snapchat and followed her on Facebook and Instagram, and even read her blog posts. (Too stalkerish? :P) And her travelling experience is simply amazing! She is one of those people who is able to see the beauty in the little things and in random places. The way she perceives the world is truly inspiring. I admire her strength and courage to be able to leave her life behind, just to travel around the world, and visit new places and see new things. Not only does she blog about the places she has been to, she also includes travelling tips, she also writes inspirational and motivational posts, and even fashion tips! I highly recommend her blog to those who like travelling as well - World Of Wanderlust

I really do wish I can travel more. My biggest restrain is my father -.- He still sees me as a little girl haha.. Even though I'm studying in England! Whilst I do understand his worries and concerns, it is quite annoying and I do wish he would lighten up a little. I understand that there are a million horrible things that could happen to me when I'm travelling in a foreign country, whether or not I'm travelling alone or with my friend(s). But being able to see a new country, or even a new city, is simply amazing! The excitement of going to a place that I have never stepped foot in, experiencing the life there, even for a day, brings a thrill down my spine.

Anyway, Evon and I have made a pact (quite some time ago) that we will start travelling together more :) Maybe in a few years xD and that whenever we go somewhere new, we would get each other something nice from that place. Anything but a keychain though ;)

从来不放闪的原因

Let me post a madanrin post....Because I felt like I can express this better in mandarin.

放闪， 顾名思义就是po上你和伴侣的恩爱的照片在网路上，简称秀恩爱！

现在的面子书和随手拍上都充满着一些放闪的人，似乎放闪成为了他们的使命，他们向世界向彼此证明他们很爱对方的管道。

最近当我在跟一名友人吃饭时，他对我说他有些不明白那些放闪的人是怎么思考，有必要把自己和伴侣的点点滴滴都宣告于全世界吗？ 在当下我就问了他一句，人家在放闪有什么错的吗？ 他就问我，那为什么你从来不放闪？

这是一个很好的问题。。。
我回家想了想，觉得我没试过放闪的原因就是我很害怕受伤吧！
说真的，我很羡慕那些放闪的人，我觉得他们好有勇气。
难道不是吗？

在网络上公开彼此的恩爱史，意味着他们在宣告于全世界：我现在和伴侣很高兴，如果有一天我们不再放闪就代表有问题了！
如果是我的话，我会害怕，我总在想万一不美好的结局发生， 这些“曾经”在网络上停留，会无时无刻提醒我那些回忆， 逐渐加深已造成的伤疤。

我最害怕的还是当全世界知道我那破碎的恋情， 会过来询问我，安慰我，不给我喘口气和自疗的时间和空间。

所以放闪是一个大胆说爱的行为， 举动本身没错，可是你准备好了结局吗？

Expectation vs Reality --- Well dressed mean NOTHING

Hey Peeps!!! Is me, the wicked one, Evon!

I was really busy in the past few weeks especially with trips, tests, assignments and events going on (which I will write a review on it later). Yea, that was the reason behind my absence in this blog. P.S: sorry bestie, I still love you dearly and dedications will still be given to this blog. 

Recently, I have been participating in a Charity Sale at Jonker Walk, Malacca. (Held by Sales and Marketing division of MULS) What we did was selling cookies to help raise donations for the mentally disabled children. Overall the experience was great. But through this event, I realized I had a misconception that has not been corrected untill I went all out in this event, trying to raise fund. ( Damn, education of 20 years.... I learned shit)

I know along this time that we should not judge a book by its cover. We saw and read this quote everywhere, but does it really hit in your mind? Interestingly, I thought I was quite open- minded and not judgemental, but this event made me realized.... Nope, I am only the naive little girl  that think she is very open and not judgy towards people.... BULLSHIT, right?

So, in the mid of this event, when I was selling the cookies, I automatically went and promote the cookies to people who seem nice, well kept and well dressed. It was like natural instinct that well dressed people equal nice and financially maintained peeps. However the plot twist was the people that donated and brought the cookies are mostly people that care less about the way they dress and some had tattoos, hairstyles that are far beyond my level (I suck, I know). I remebered having this guy with his hand around his girlfriend, he dressed like an 90s gangsta, with all the tattoos and amount of hair gel on his hair; I did not expect him to buy the cookies, did not bother to ask, merely shouted cookies for charity however the guy just walked to me and staight taking his money out to buy the cookies.... Same goes to many more other people that I thought would not buy the cookies. On another hand, some girls and guys that look so dashing and nicely dress turned out to be rude or ignorant peeps. (Do not get me wrong, not all people that are well-dressed are these people, but the moral of this story is well dressed can mean nothing at all, outer beauty do not reflect the inner one)

It got me thinking, how shitty I am as a person to ever judge people silently, the shittiest part is without knowingly. I have this weird and unrealistic expectations on people based on how they look?! Thanks to this event, it got me thinking... how can I stop all these nonsense in my head?

I cannot figure a better way than really go out and meet people... Be more interactive, talk to people, know their stories before I have any stupid imaginations about them.... So what do you think? Have you judge someone ever before based on their looks? Tell me and share your stories (If you bother to watse a little bit of your time to finish reading this....LOL)
