Jungle trekking and picnic by the beach

I often heard many saying: " You need to do this activity with a bunch of people", "Ahh, you're a lady, might be dangerous going(somewhere) or doing (something) alone." Yeah, it might be true for certain things, but there are some other things that females can do alone. If not, how long shall a female wait to do the things she feels like exploring? The reason for not trying is not being able to find someone to do it with you? Herrrmm... That wouldn't be in my perception.  I have been planning to picnic. Getting and waiting for the right person, place, timing, and weather to make this picnic a success took me months. Yeah, I bet the close friends around me have known I wanted to go for a picnic since early 2022. This activity was not in place when I met my friends as our timing and places were not proper.  Managed to scroll through social media and found this beach (Pantai Keranchut) coincidently, and I thought this place must be a great place for a picnic. D...

Let's talk about appearance

Recently I watched this vlog of Jane, one of the topics was about flat-chested. She is a married woman and got commented by a person saying her chest is so flat that her husband will divorce her. I could not believe that an anonymous person following a famous influencer would comment such words cursing another's marriage to be unsuccessful by body-shaming Jane. As a humble follower of hers, I only see the content she made, some of her daily effort and the lifestyle she had on her social media. I know that it is not easy to be an influencer, especially when you reach a certain well-known level by the public and need to deal with "haters". Just that not until she exposed this kind of incident she faced, I wouldn't believe some people's comments would go until this extent of cursing influencer. That comment might be a joke to the person who commented, but they wouldn't know how much these comments can impact the person receiving it. That's why I think that be...

Deep talk and meaningful conversation

  Does anyone of you like a meaningful conversation? Or discuss, think and share your opinions about certain topics in-depth? Well, I'm someone into these. Not sure why, but I notice my brain likes it very much. It gets excited when I think deeply and generates more ideas and thoughts. It is a sign that my soul is thirsty for new knowledge. Before that, do you guys know there are different levels of understanding?  The first level of understanding is understanding the basic text written in a book. In another word, literal comprehension. That's what we learnt during childhood times. The second level of understanding is understanding the meaning of the text where the book wants to deliver, while the third level of understanding is the application of knowledge from what you've understood into actions or change/spark our thinking.  Meaningful conversation or deep talk/discussion is somewhere between level two, entering level three of understanding (my own definition XP correc...

Getting back in writing

The thoughts of getting back in writing arose whenever my brain kept thinking about several things, and the ideas just flew through. Instead of letting these thoughts float around like bubbles in my mind, it pops and disappears after some time. It is better that I document them down somewhere since these crazy thoughts are priceless. So yeah, back to this page again after I stopped for more than a year. The last post was in early 2020, and now it's March 2022. If you guys browse through my older posts before 2020, I believe they were mostly written in Mandarin as I was more comfortable expressing myself in my mother tongue. I am writing in English now because I will need to use a proofread system to detect the mistakes I tend to make in writing and typo issues. I didn't dig into the Chinese read proof application since I am not familiar with it. Additionally, I write more of my papers and thesis in university in English. I am uncertain who will read through my blog posts here. ...

Cooking - Self surviving skill

 I have loved cooking since young. I remember my mum cooked our meals until I was 18 years old before leaving for university. I enjoyed eating her food until a point where I was craving more for some western food, e.g. spaghetti, burgers, shepherds' pie, pastries... And she is not into those kinds of food. Yeah, typical Asian parents, I would say, or maybe she has no interest in cooking western food, or maybe she is just lazy to learn. :P  I was the "good" child that would always help around with all of the chores in the house cause I thought: Hey, you're living comfortably in this house, and you are not contributing anything? There's nothing on earth that you can get for free. Even if there is, I would definitely feel guilty of taking and receiving it. Plus, my brothers are not the helpful kinda people in the house, so, needless for me to say much, I need to help out in the house.  It started with helping wash and cut veggies in the kitchen, cleaning chicken and ...

摸不着头脑🧠

从我长大以来,我自认为我的社交能力算可行。 有共同的话题就能开启聊天模式;难的是人与人沟通时用的话语。 若一个不小心,便会对某一方产生伤害。 老母曾经说过,说话的时候要有礼貌。 初次聊天是会有礼貌;认识久了,对对方有了特定的了解就会用另一个“老友”的方式聊天。 但活了那么久,还真的遇到了一些奇葩友人(我自认已经跟他熟了就直接说出我个人的想法,结果他生气了)。唉,得罪人了。看来我对他这个人的了解还是不够深。 以朋友的角度劝说他别做某些事,竟然招来他的不爽和谩骂。 嗯,是我多管闲事吧。 首次遇见有人会这么发脾气的 。(其实这是第二次被他责骂了。一开始以为他是什么批评都可以接受的,原来并不是这么一回事 >.< 我还不知好歹,又批评了他一次) 好吧,这才是他本人另有的颜色。两次都被吓个正着,这一次我学乖了,以后不会再批评他了 🤣。 不爽就好好沟通说说嘛。看来他的脾气一上来就不能沟通。 那我在这里自我反省了以后,避免他随时对我爆发的方法是沉默以对。 要实行古代把某人打入冷宫的形式来面对他了。 心好累。 你们又会怎么面对这些脾气管理不是特别好的人呢?

Packaging design | 包装设计

大学第四年,在犹豫着是否要拿“包装设计”这一科还是“出产系统”。各别上了这两堂课看看,最终还是选择了“包装设计”。我知道“包装设计”是属于比较艺术型的一科,对它原本就有着很大的兴趣,但“出产系统”这科在现实的出产系能让我有更多对于出产过程、器材等了解会更多。思绪反复变化,还是抵抗不住我对设计的渴望,选择一个能让我有着天马行空想象的包装设计。 我自己本身对包装很感兴趣。以大众的看法及认知,相信大家都会被一个产品的包装设计所影响。包装或产品设计从人类的视觉、感触上刺激及影响大脑比较感性的一面,尤其对女生非常见效。前一阵子,我在Daiso看到了一个我必买的生活用品。在付钱柜台时,柜台旁边放了三种设计非常可爱的零钱包👛。 所谓可爱的设计就是LINE的卡通系列 (抱歉当时没拍照📷下来)。那时我心里面的OS是:哇,那么可爱!好想要买一个占为己有。但有一刻回过神来,我明确清楚地知道我是不需要,不,是根本都不会用到这零钱包的,买来也没用。为了让自己死下这个被“可爱设计”所诱惑的感性想法,我对着那收钱员工说:“wah... ini (零钱包👛) design sangat cute woi.. tak boleh, saya tak perlu beli ni... ini memang ialah marketing punya taktik la.” 说了这番话,心里还是想着要拿它(零钱包👛)来看个究竟,但我还是成功控制我自己不要拿它起来(你们看,这产品设计的诱惑是不是很厉害?如果我拿它们其中一个起来,我看我又要还多一个RM5.90),然后对于我刚刚说出那句马来话,扇自己一道耳光。真的是笑死人!事实证明,女人的钱就是那么容易赚。再加上女人这动物在买东西上,根本就只是靠视觉花钱。很惨,真的很惨,因为我是过来人,我了解。😂 回到包装设计的话题,成千上万的产品公司及设计师都费了很多心思在这儿。当然,他们无时无刻就在想着该怎么让产品的销售量突破已设定好的目标,怎么吸引顾客去购买。此外,他们还会添加一些有意义,或真实故事情节通过他们的产品呈现出来,使得那产品除了有独特的样貌,能通过设计给顾客们带来不一样的故事而产生不该有的生命力。写到此刻,你们说他们是不是很厉害?出产一个产品罢了都已经有着那么复杂,勾心斗角的打算了,根本就是在玩弄我们(消费者)的情绪及控制我们的头脑来...
