Dear Malaysians

Decisions we make in our life reflect upon our upbringing. In most situations, we make the wrong decisions and we learn the lesson but how often do we think and rationalize between the right and the wrong before making those decisions. 

Now that we have heard a little about that, let us see what some of those wrong decisions can make us what we are today. What makes the cover of your morning newspapers? 

Since I am a Malaysian, obviously I am referring to The Star or The News Strait Times. 

Gangsterism. Seeing Malaysians being involved in this, I feel rather ashamed. I am disappointed and upset that the younger generations could not rationalize to do the right thing and their parents did not serve as a good example for them to follow suit.I am disappointed that our future is at jeopardy that these young blood that were suppose to contribute for our nation decided to take the easy route out and give up their struggle.

But allow me to share with you the exact thoughts that were running through my mind. What are the true purpose of these poor souls being involved in gangsterism? If they weren't involved in this would they have turned out to be a better citizen or son or brother or spouse or even friend? A better man? What has led them to this option for everything else was always there? Couldn't they see the other choices which were there then to lead that shameful life?

Now when its all too late, what are they going to do? Lead a life behind bars? Leaving all their loved ones in tears? They say poverty.  But I say excuses. Yes the work opportunity out there is rather scarce but that does not permit one to give the excuse of poverty only to mask his non attempt to make his life better the right way. Stealing, cheating or performing any act of gangsterism is not an option and it is not cool. These values should be instilled in every child for they would shape a better future for our nation. One that is much needed now than ever.

Keep calm and Get Good Karma

And here's one of those very normal days in my very normal life. I know I'm not supposed to start my sentence with the word And, according to the grammar but hey this is no English Class. Its an arrangement of words describing the little things that take place in my very ordinary life. Today, I read the Garuda Purana. For some of you who don't know what it is, its one of the Hindu Scriptures that tell every human the sins of which one should account for in hell, the types of punishment and torture his/her soul is attached to and the birth one takes in his next life. As I read word from word, I realized there is no way I'm going nowhere near the gates of heaven if I really think about it now. But think about it, if we continue to sin and take the easy way out by giving up, what is the magnitude of our sin? A whole lot bigger than before. My point is upon reading this, one should realize his sins and repent for what he has committed in the past. Correct it and lead your life in the right manner. Does it make a difference? Yes, it does. I'm not a preacher by the way. I'm just a ordinary person trying to reach out to humanity. Live your life to the fullest but just right way. That's the whole point of this short article of my thoughts for the day.

Embrace the lord within us.

Like everyone knows, god is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. But how does everyone embrace god within them? Well obviously, everyone has a different perception , a different mindset to how the perceive things to be and a different way of embracing the almighty. Well for me the almighty is one who is close to my heart, one I could count on, my creator. I did not pay heed to this detail because I was in denial more than anything but he actually is.  Do not take this opportunity to think that I am somewhat a loser because no, I am not a loser and yes I do have friends. *smirks*

He is one that I could count on because he knows me in and out. Every thought that runs through my mind and every ounce of guilt I have when committing a sin. He is the judge of us all and the good thing as long as we are still alive and well, he is not going to judge us verbally, not in a way we'd be able to hear. The one person I could turn to in my time of need, my emergency exit. He is our conscious. The best part is he is always there for everyone and anyone, regardless of religion, race , character or appearance at no cost. So we should just embrace him within us, in whatever way that works best for us and seems right. Take this opportunity to thank him for what you have at hand and what he has given you in the past. Yes, which would also mean your mean and wretched ex boyfriend/girlfriend or your bad hair days or whatever that gives you an awful time. 

I am a young adult and one may think, "Oh lord, this girl is some sort of Miss Goody Two Shoes". Please shove those thoughts aside. I am just like any other girl out there here to share her thoughts and to help myself move forward by writing and improving myself. Yes that was my initial objective but the more I explore the world of the Internet and the knowledge it has to offer , I find that I lose myself in the attempt to learn new things. I have a few friends that have blog shops to sell pre-loved items, YouTube Channels to sing and baking shops as well. I am so inspired and I want to be able to move forward with myself just like they did so I wish to write my random thoughts here to give myself space to grow within myself. To find what I love to do best by trial and error. I have always wanted to do a beauty channel but I have never had the guts to work in front of the camera, due to my lack of confidence. So I never was able to put up a video of my version of the recreated smokey eye or the way to rock a bold pink lip.

I have always been religiously inclined, I know my basic mantras. I enjoy being a pious person and I do not find it shameful that I am not the average modern girl out there who lives in the city. I now how to be modern when I have to. I only wish to adapt the positive aspects of being modern. I choose to be this way so that I could be an examplary character to my siblings. Overall, I would say my parents have done a great job in being the best example they could have ever been. I am not saying I am a perfect person, but I am saying I am just like any other teenager out there. In the attempt to be modern and to socialize with your friends ( to be that popular person ), do not forget the creator. Pray and thank the lord always for what he has given us.

Always remember to pray and keep him close to your heart.
