I wish I had someone to look over me. I wish I had a guardian angel. Someone who would take care of me, comfort me when I’m sad, hold me when I need it, and just someone who would be there for me. Someone that knows me inside and out, someone who know me better than myself.

MOTIVATION.

We all want it.
We all need it.
We all dream about it.
And we all wish for it.
A life without problems, I wish there were such a thing.
People will go against you.
People will talk shit about you, and they’ll do the best they can and try to take you down.
It’s all on you to stay strong.  It’s all on your reactions. Whatever you react to them, they’ll still always make it hard or even harder. Do bad, they’ll try to make it worse. Do good, they’ll still try to put you down. But, when you do fall, get right back up and “push” back harder.
Shit always happens, no matter what, you’ll get the courage to get through it.
So don’t give up, live life to the fullest! :)

I am not myself anymore.

I am not that individual I was a month ago or years ago. Things have changed and even I have changed. I am not saying that I've changed entirely, but I've noticed as the days go by, its the little things. My preferences, what I like/dislike, etc.
You might ask, "Isn't it a bit late for me to change?" and that I can guarantee you that change is never too late, everyone change little by little everyday.
It is a bit frightful because I’m growing out of my shell. I am like a geode. I am sure you’re wondering what the hell is a geode. Well a geode is a huge hard rock and when you break that rock inside, there is a hidden yet amazing crystal. I am that crystal and my future is growing closer and clearer as time is passing by.

I often get this crippling fear that I won’t be remembered.. that I haven’t done anything worth to be remembered by. It’s like I'll be that book you read so many seasons ago, the one you read without really reading. The one you currently can’t recall the name of.

And hence why at the age of 16, I have always wanted to leave a legacy. A legacy of me that will stay forever.. when I'm gone one day...

Love is love.

Whether it’s between a guy and a girl, a boy and a boy or a girl and a girl, love is love. 
Even if people think that it’s not right whether it’s against their beliefs/religions or merely because it’s just “disgusting,” how can you stop two people from loving each other, regardless of their genders? It’s something the whole of the society shouldn’t even think twice about. Why? Because love is between the two people. It’s their problem. It’s no one else’s business but theirs. 

If you are in Perth, you should be aware that it's currently the Perth International Arts Festival (13th Feb to 7 March)!

For the past 3 days, Perth has greatly welcomed 2 giants (Little Girl and Giant Diver) to our city.

Want to know more about the original story - click HERE.

Since I was working on Friday and Saturday, I missed out capturing the glimpse of how the story evolved, but thanks to social media and friends, I got my updates haha XD
Today was when the giants are leaving Perth, and I'm so thankful I did not have anything on, hence I made a quick trip to the city and went with Nicole to say goodbye to the giants :')
The whole experience was truly mesmerising and amazing. Words cannot describe how surreal it felt. I heard there are haters saying that they are just puppets/not real, so what's the point of going?? Really though, in my opinion, the fact of seeing a giant (whether it'd be real or not) is literally like a one-time-experience-in-your-life, it's not like we can see giants all day everyday, and moreover, seeing in real life is SO DIFFERENT to when you watch it on television, like movies. I have always been intrigued with giants and all ever since I read stories about them when I was young and also an outstanding 2010 film called "Gulliver's Travels" ft Jack Black. If you haven't watch it, I strongly recommend you to!
Before I bore you any further with all my words, enjoy the pictures I took below :)
PS. I took about 50 photos, minimized them down to 20 just for facebook upload, but I really do think uploading 20 pictures here on this post would be too much, hence I only choose the most outstanding ones! :)

He's approaching!

She's coming!

Byeeeeeee :(

I love it when people I don’t know smile at me.

People smiling makes me smile, even when I'm at my worst, when my day isn’t going right and when I’m not happy. One thing that cheers you up, is just simply smiling at someone. Hey, you never know, a person’s appearance can only hide so much, maybe they are going through the same thing. Smile, let them know they aren't alone. It doesn't hurt to smile. Joy is infectious.

I’m not the most attractive person out there. Being as flawed as I am, I have a hand full of insecurities that stares right back at me as I look in the mirror, just waiting to devour me alive as I am its pray. And if there is one thing, one thing that triggers me the most, it’s when someone else points out or make jokes about one of my many insecurities. What most people don’t seem to understand is all it takes is one simple remark that could become an everlasting reminder for myself. Whether it be my weight, height, body, or facial features, I consider it offensive, even if they had no intentions of offending me. Yeah, I might not be the most prettiest person out there, I am made of flaws, but I am sewn together by good intentions and I will always know better than to point out someone else’s flaws. Because I can guarantee what is seen to be a flaw by you about another never goes unnoticed by them either. And you’re not any better for making fun of someone else, if anything, it only makes you look like a douchebag.

Time will pass

Temporary feelings will change

And I will, eventually,

Be myself again.
