Currently in my Motivation class. Monday morning? Yea, how impressive. Nothing much though, just wondering despite all the nods, behind those sleepy faces, who is literally paying full attention on the lecture? Are those who nods? The sleepyheads? Or.. no one? Me? Excuse me, I am paying 101% less attention to be sure.
Got to admit that I couldn't absorb much inputs today. All these theories seems to not working well on me. On the other hand, piles of assignments are getting themselves busy to trigger anxiety and stress in the hypothalamus, crashing onto my brain cell, pushing me out of my track, feeling so anxious for still having so many things to do. The due dates are just so close to one another, keeping me more anxious though!
Above all, we still need to undergo life as so. "Working is therapeutic". You would grasp miscellany of knowledge from em. You could boost your self esteem, nurture your talents and skills, & yet, amend your self-development to an immensely higher level. Believe in 'Do what you love, love what you do'. Enjoy what you do, for a better performance towards your jobs. Nail it guys!
Are you happy to be born as Malaysian?
A sudden thought lingers on my mind obnoxiously craving for an answer. Despite the tremendous ups and downs we all had to confront together now, does it loosen your loves towards your motherland? I bumped into some groups of people where they thought that, life could have been better if they were not born here. They insists on how embarrassed they are to hold the nationality. Some decides to migrate, and half were already are.
Personally, I understand how some people tend to not favor the rights they garnered ever since. I understand that at some point the Malays & Bumiputera gains better rights than the others. I understand how we are contemporaneously living being manipulated by those creatures with powers and $$. I do aware on the differences we may encounter between one another. I comprehend that you hate the countrys' political system (or even the PM.. or the wife. sorry). Also, I appreciate how everyone puts so much efforts in making changes. Also, I truly fathom on how unhappy you are with the countrys' developments even when we are already heading to our 60 years of independence.
But, pardon me, I do think that it is yet inappropriate to downgrade your homeland. Our home. Sometimes we just have to accept someone or something just for themselves. Same goes with Malaysia. Regardless the economical downpours, corruptions, dirty politics, racism and other issues, please never ever rub salt into the wounds. Not that I meant that we have to simply ignore and let them spoon-fed us with the negativity.
Yeah, go. Work for a better nation. Congregate in a rally, sign partitions, show what you need, what you want, express it all out. But, please don't proudly divulge to the world on how dreadful your country are. Some parts of it is still, very accommodating. Again, I understand everyones' rights. But making fun of your own land, belittle em to the world wont upgrade you to a better being, either. No issue over freedom of speech, but do it productively.

"Reach Out, Save Lives" - #BefriendersKL
I gained lots of great insights from 'Preventing Suicides: Reaching Out & Saving Lives' Public Forum organized by BefriendersKL which I attended last weekend. Proud to successfully pushed myself out to attend a public talk on a Saturday morning though and glad that it was all worth it, thank you! I listened to both amazing speakers, Dr Philip George & Ms Lee Kuan Shin, as a Consultant Psychiatrist & a Clinical Psychologist respectively.
Talking about suicide though, as a normal being, I have totally no idea how severe suicide is seems to be within the country Malaysia, around the globe, even in the neighborhood. I have never encounter such situation before, therefore it seems partially hard for me to absorb what is actually happening to the person who commits suicide. I read news, I watched em on tv. Neither triggers such sympathy in me towards them. I bluntly thought that suicide is their own choices to escape; to end their suffers, the over-flowing pain. They chose that way eventually & why should we bother?
However, as you grew older, as time ticks, as you space up to understand the real situation, you will realized how suicide works. It will influence how you see and your cognitive beliefs on the fact that,

However, as you grew older, as time ticks, as you space up to understand the real situation, you will realized how suicide works. It will influence how you see and your cognitive beliefs on the fact that,
- 800,000 people died of suicides every year, 2000 every day, 90 every hour, 40 in every secs
- Globally, in 2020, studies assume that there would be 1 death in every 20 seconds
- Suicide is ranked #2 as a leading cause of death within the age of 15-29
- 1 over 5 children suffer mental illness
- 80-90% died from suicide is caused by depression
- 6-33% of children have thought about suicide with a ratio of M:F // 5:1
We tend to neglect mental health issue. Up to this moment, I promised myself to keep my mind free, reach out to those who might silently or openly attempting suicide and to those who are depressed. It's crucial to end suicide & mental illness stigma. Reach out their hands and help them! Pay extra attention and give our best to understand people around us, deeply and affectionately.
I'll, you'll bear this pain
You always thought that there is no reason to give in when it comes to someone significant, someone you love the most. You wont mind losing in fights. You don't really bother being teased around often, you don't mind sparing your time for them. But, why they don't lose themselves to fight for you? Why they got offended when you tease them? Why weren't they here when you need them? Yes, it could be extremely painful, thinking on how important they are to you, how you prioritize them before anyone else. You rather kept everything inside you when they hurt you instantly, even when you have nobody to lend yourself to. Amazingly, you still choose to lose a fight than loosing them.
