I listen to almost everything.
Welcome aboard. I am continuing my blog challenge. With the topic this time - what band/ musician is important to me? To be very honest, I listen to EVERTHING. Like almost everything - music terms. Any genre. Any singer. Any language. Earlier in the evening, I drove home from town, listening to "Goldberg Variations" (violin) all the way home. Weird huh? While on my way up to town, I was listening to some cool remixes by DJ Noiz. I listen from pop to dangdut, name any genre...I listen and I tend to enjoy every music I hear. It's just a natural thing with me. I don't usually comment harsh to any song in general...unless it is so unoriginal and copying another music without permission...that's a dissapointment. I see music as an art. You work for it. You combine pieces of ideas and imagination to come to one song. This may sound weird, I respect music and musicians. I listen to lyrics, melody, beats and often, feeling the energy from the music. I guess I couldn't state any specific band or musician that is "important" to me...as I listen to almost everything but I absolutely know that music itself is important to me. I need music in life. I like hearing to melodies. Any. Including 89.1FM radio channel - the Quran reading. I'm one of those people who sees...music is life. Music is definitely part of my everyday life. Often, I don't only "listen" to music but be "absorbed" in it. I recall someone told me, music is life - that's why it has beats. (Shoutout to Brian! Wherever you are). Also, my favourite music related quote, which I actually recently post up in my instagram, WHEN WORDS FAIL, MUSIC SPEAKS.

Hi Again.
I last blogged at end of July, after my mum passed away.
After that, I was lost.
I lost interest to what I usually like to do - microblogging, (including trying out a blogging challenge), being a social media junkie … I just, lost myself in the way.
It’s been 40 days that my mum left.
Do I miss her? I do. I really miss her. It’s been hard to accept everything but I’m coping up well now - filling up those empty times. Work more, get more productive, spend more time with my usuals, get back to music classes … I recently train myself to vlog. I’m still experimenting what sort of content I want to vlog and soon enough, launch my YT channel.
I guess I’m trying my best to get through the big loss in my heart. Nothing else hurt more than this. I could never move on from this loss, I just can’t. I know I could only move on with life.
I’ll get back to the blog challenge on Monday. I need to keep being strong. I need to.
Til next time. Bye.

11/7/2017...mama, Rokiah Binti Hj Jamuddin left me forever. Mama, u gave birth to me in Syawal...little did I know that u'll leave me in Syawal too. Everything is just so...fast. You just turned 60 this year. I nvr knew this year will be the last to celebrate your bday in February. I nvr knew this year will be the last for u to greet me happy bday in May. I nvr knew last Ramadhan was the last sungkai together with you..and the last food you cooked was long beans which was my fav. I nvr knew last 1st Syawal was the very last time we bejarah... I nvr expected the last thing I made for u were those butter cookies. I nvr expected, the green brooch set u've given to me recently was the last gift from u. We share the same type of sickness but u've gone first...leaving me alone to face this...u told me to fight it. U told me to battle cancer...but how? Cancer took u away from me. The very last words from u to me was to be strong without u. I'm trying... I'm trying ma. I miss u so much and I'm so heartbroken. I know we can nvr move on from losing someone we love, but only moving along in time. I love u a lot mama but God love u more. You may b gone from my sight but u are nvr gone from my heart.

It is good to have an end to a journey, but in the end it is the journey that matters. Some stuff happened along the way but hey, life begins at the end of our comfort zone. U learn, U experience and U turn the situation into a great one :) leaving Thailand today -- bringing memories of Charoen Krung for the beautiful sight, Pratunam for the fun shopping spree and Lat Krabang for the local life + (PLUS Durian ^^)

Where do I want to go?
Hello! Where on this Earth I want to go? Next challenge #5 is sharing the five places I want to visit…although this topic didn’t limit earth, I never actually thought of wanting to visit other planets or the moon :p
Behold, sharing you the list of 5 places I want to visit (and I shall work hard to complete this list before I die!) ;
#5. Maldives
I love the beach and I would love to visit this island. I want to witness the Maldivian side of life. If I ever visit this place, it’s going to be a relaxing vacation. No shopping. I want to swim underwater, I want to get a full body massage. I heard from people who had their holidays in the Maldives saying Maldives offer the perfect privacy for a romantic getaway.
#4. Paris
I guess a lot of people want to go here for sure. Who wouldn’t? Although I heard from a lot of people that Paris as a “romantic place” is overrated, I still want to go there SPECIFICALLY for the Eiffel Tower! I like Eiffel Tower decor items for some unknown reason… I hope to be able to go up there one day on the highest view and see Paris! I want to sit on the grass of Paris garden/park and kiss somebody. Other than that, I would love to feed the pigeons :p
#3. Middle East
Surprising? I don’t have any specific country I want to go but as long as it in an Arab country. Things I want to do – dress like the local ladies, walk in the sands, watch performances, try their local cuisine and get on a camel in the sands, sight seeing! I would love to visit the mosques there too.
#2. India
I think this is more surprising. However, I need to have someone I really trust to visit India. Someone who knows the way there, who’s very familiar with the surroundings or maybe, his or her own hometown! :) The India I meant is not the city but the village ones. The rural ones. Maybe I will not stay there (rural) but experience the life there, tour and join the local activities. I want to tour around the village, see how the schools look like, their entertainment, how the cook/prepare their food, what do they even eat, visit their temple and see elephants! Then staying for the night definitely will be in the city.
#1. China
Again, this will not be shopping spree but again, rural touring. This is the no.1 in list because this is my top place I want to visit and experience the culture/life. Second will be India, as you already know. I believe there’s a lot of rural tourism to China, so insyaAllah, one day… one sweet day :) i want to go to the mountain area, visit a number of villages. I am aware that these places will only be accessible by foot and I am up for it! I want to see the river, the lake, the trees, old buildings and the people. If there’s one particular thing I want to see is…witnessing in person how the villagers produce glass noodles manually :)
#. BONUS country
Where? JAPAN! This is particularly will be at a particular province not Tokyo (cannot tell for privacy purpose) to meet my penpal in person - shout out to Hiro-kun! We’ve known each other for 4 years now and hopefully one day we’ll be able to talk in person. Hiro is an engineer with high interest in nature and I really hope to go out to an adventure together. Please watch his youtube channel pumpsea panksea and if you enjoy the videos, please subscribe ^^
-----------
Well hopefully I have the chance to clear my list ^^, I've visited (in order) Hong Kong, East Malaysia, West Malaysia and recently Bangkok. I might visit Korea this year. For which all these were unplanned and just spontaneous.

Abby McNevin is not my name
In today’s blog, challenge #4 is writing about the meaning behind my superwebname. I suppose this refers to the name that I am using in the internet which is not even my real name.
True enough, Abby McNevin is not my real name. It is a screen name that I’ve been using in the internet since 2007 onwards.
The origin, you may ask?
Why Abby?
I started my first job in 2006. I worked at a grill and chill -concept restaurant (but at that time, Bruneians chill more there than of ordering the grills menu). I was trained at one branch in the city for three months and I was the only local there. The rest of the team were filipinos. It was quite hard for them to quickly call my name “Hamizah”. Some tried calling me Hami, one person tried calling me Ham (wait, what?) and some ended up pronouncing my name as ha-my-zah.
One of the crew (let’s call him Ryan, not his real name), so Ryan, whom I got close to, kept mistakenly calling me Baby and then quickly apologized, proceeding calling my real name. We were so close that we would “karoeke” our favourite songs with full emotion while we’re in the kitchen doing dishes together. We sounded terrible but we didn’t care. The kitchen, specifically the sink area was basically our stage and our orange uniform were the only dashing outfit we could afford because what you wear doesn’t matter, it’s your performance that counts :p
Ryan kept telling me that my face and my long hair resembles a lot like his younger sister whom he’s very close with among all of his other siblings. Her name is Baby. She’s supposed to be a little shorter than me and my skin is a bit more fairer. I would always told him, Rubbish talks! and we’ll sprayed each other water. Whenever the branch manager walked in to check what was the chaotic sound, we both would automatically pretended like it was not us, continued washing the dishes as if we never played around and blamed the next door shop who was making the random noises :p
That time was the start of smartphone era, Ryan didn’t own one to show me pictures of Baby but he kept promising me he’ll bring Baby’s picture to work to prove. Rubbish, I said. One day finally, I was just arriving to work when I saw my workmates were gathering around and talking in tagalog, seem discussing something that needs attention. Ryan was in the middle holding some papers (which at that time I thought was regular papers). I asked them what happened, are there bad news or sorts. They all looked at me, and then looked at the papers Ryan was holding. Repeatedly until someone started saying “Twins, twins!”. Actually, Ryan was holding photos of Baby. I finally have the opportunity to see Baby although in picture forms only and yes, my jaw just dropped to the floor. There were pictures of her alone, with Ryan, with the whole family and even pictures of her when she was really small and in school uniform. She really looked like me. He wasn’t talking rubbish after all :p Ryan asked if me and him could take photos together so he could show me to his family especially Baby that there’s a Bruneian twin of her ^^ I said yes!
Because of Ryan, everybody else started calling me Baby. Not so long however, it evolved to Abby. It was because our branch manager wanted professionalism and the name Baby to his view is not suitable at work. Since everyone really comfortable in calling me Baby, one crew suggested Abby. As time goes, I got comfortable with this name so much that I started introducing myself as Abby. Even my work nametag was Abby. I am not sure why though but I feel this connection with that nickname so much. I feel happy. I feel free. I feel energetic. I feel more expressive.
I just googled up if Abby has a meaning itself? I visited a site addressed sheknows.com and their records said;
Abby
The name Abby is a baby girl name.
Meaning
Hebrew Meaning:
The name Abby is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Abby is: Father rejoiced, or father’s joy. Gives joy. The intelligent, beautiful Abigail was Old Testament King David’s third wife, described as ‘good in discretion and beautiful in form.
People with this name tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves. They are drawn to the arts, and often enjoy life immensely. They are often the center of attention, and enjoy careers that put them in the limelight. They tend to become involved in many different activities, and are sometimes reckless with both their energies and with money.
My verdict: The last sentence feels so familiar! ____________
Why Abby McNevin?
In 2007, I enrolled in a college further away from my home and workplace. However, that doesn’t stopped me from working. I kept the job but transferred to night shifts on schooldays and day shifts on Friday and Saturday. The college was okay though I was bullied at first. I was not aware of backstabbers. I was not aware that people could be so mean. I grew up in a different district, rather a more village surrounding and I was stucked in those mentality – that I could trust anyone, everybody’s nice and as long as I am nice, people are kind to. Those bullies crushed me mentally, so bad.
I spend more time with myself, thinking to what happened? Why do I have lack of confidence? Why am I making myself in despair by letting those bullies making my college life miserable? There were two “head” bullies at the time who treated me like $h!t. That was why I felt so sad and stressed. Not one but two seperate people bullying me. They appeared to be a “friend” to me at first, then they misuse my trust and innocence by making false statements about me. Both of them, although at two different times (they both were not friends with each other too as they hate each other) – spread false statements about me to the rest of the school. Accused me of doing things I didn’t do that definitely had distorted my image to others including tutors. At those stage of life, I learnt that more people will listen to what they heard than what they see. Imagined coming to school and being stared by others including people from different classes…shown those unfriendly face, not even a Hi, as if I am a hated figure. I kept holding myself from falling to a hole of depression. Part of me just want to give and a part of me want to fight. I could have ignored but I couldn’t escaped the bullies at class. I was too young anyway to ignore such issue. I had my own family issue and I could remember that I kept having suicidal thoughts.
God is love. I made a circle of friends who didn’t listen to those haters but rather, be at my side. I clearly remember them, ten of them who was there since the beginning. 8 in my class and 2 from different level and course. I was lucky that God blessed me to have these ten hearts who had looked me in my soul without me trying and didn’t join the rest. However, I couldn’t really hang out all the time with any one of them because they all were having own close-friend bond and two were guys from different courses. Although I could recall now how sweet they were to throw me a birthday surprise at a cafe near to our college :)
Anyway, since I was mostly alone, I made an online presence of myself. Deciding to add McNevin at the end of Abby’s… making me, Abby McNevin. The internet was like my no b.s crib where I could show more of myself through writing, photos that I’ve taken including photos of myself, expressing opinion and sharing music that I listened to. I make friends with people from different districts, girls and guys, various age groups and I found myself interested to those who were bullied, had less to no friend and seem depressed. Because of my strong online presence in different popular platforms at those time, I quickly gathered a lot of attention and had more friends all around Brunei…including at college. Even tutors were chatting with me online and sharing photos and opinions with me. In other words, people at school had started to get to know me and finding contradictions from what they heard.
Funny enough, I never tried to explain myself to anyone. I’m not at fault, I was not what I was falsely described and hence, I need not to explain myself. Let Karma works and by the end of the day, only good people with good intention wins.
At senior year, it was very obvious that finally more and more people had realized those bullies were making lies about me as they came to know me more as myself and not from what they heard… and suddenly becoming my friends.
As you come to know now, the name Abby McNevin is not just a name for me, for which it was never my real given name. Abby McNevin is an identity that pushes me to get back up, face my anxiety, become confident, fear not those bullies, be strong and believe in the power of positivity. I had the opportunity to ease others’ depressions and gave my moral supports. Along my journey in strengthening my own stand and support others who needed encouragement, I listened to a song called “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World. I had no one but I had this song. Abby McNevin listened to this song every single day during her times being bullied and feeling lonely. She didn't know where's friends are, where's her family and questioned life. Up til today, when someone had those experience somewhat similar to I’ve went through, I would gladly share them the link to that song :) I’ve went through things alone, it was a dark scary path and I was lucky to manage being only by myself escaping depression. Whenever I can, I will help those who couldn’t make themselves out in the light alone.
If you happen to know Abby McNevin online from the past, that you happen to stumbled into my new blog now and we are not talking anymore to date and we use to talk most of the time previously. Worry not because I am sure I could remember you if I come across your name or you yourself. I believe it is time and life changes that separated us from being still talking. Believe that mentally and in my heart, I appreciate you. Spread love! If I have shown you love and zest, I wish you spread it to others around you and you yourself has become part of the legacy.
You knew the story now. It’s Abby McNevin, bye bye now and advanced Hello for next time, signing out.
:)

Leaving Brunei ..
The blog challenge today is writing my day in great detail.
So yes, it is true, I’m leaving the country… temporarily for a quick trip only :) i’ll be back by next week anyway.
The day started with me waking up at 5.30AM, which means I only got 2hrs of sleep cos I wasnt able to doze off until around 3.30AM. After getting ready, I continued packing my stuff and I literally have to sit on my luggage to lock it cos it’s “throwing up” items inside :p It is not a regular luggage that I usually use (zipped type), this is a lock type instead - snap and lock! I put in a smaller luggage inside it and place another backpack on top…which explains the “throwing up” phenomenon.
I had a conversation with my mum before leaving the house. She is still unwell and Im actually worried bout leaving. However, Tawakkal Ala Allah… my prayers are always with her and I put my trust to my brother to take good care of our mum while Im away.
Im picking up Cyb from her house supposedly before 8AM as I told her we’ll leave from her house latest by 8AM. Actually the latest could be 8.30AM but I purposely told her half an hour early so she’ll be ready or maybe almost ready :p and in case she’ll be needing an extra time, we got 30 mins to spare :p as expected, some time taken and we finally moved from her house at 8.20AM.
Driving to the airport was okay, tho to be honest I was feeling a little drowsy. Cyb’s family went to the airport in a separate car. We reached Berakas Airport in 40 mins cos I was driving like an old dying snail.
I parked my car at the seasonal parking space, was charged $30 for 1 week. Since the rest of the family havent arrived, we decided to check in first. Cyb and I went in and quee with full confidence at the first check in lane.. unknowingly the lane has changed! The first one is only for those who had checked in online. How embarassing.. However, we were lucky. The person attending us, a lovely lady was kind enough to let us in! :) The rest of the family have to quee at the normal lane however, was quite long but not so bad since it was still early.
We proceeded boarding in when it’s time. Being in the plane with Cyb and her family for the first time feels like my first time travelling with a “family”. I’ve travelled with a group of people but not a family. Although I am not part of the family at all and in fact the only “outsider” in the group, it still brings warmth in my heart.
I fell asleep in the plane after lunch was served. I selected ayam percik and odd enough, it was served with tuna potato salad :p In every of my flight, I have always always asked for pineapple juice but exception for today, it was not available for the first time. It was only a choice between orange and mango juice :/
Reaching bangkok airport, I led the way as if I knew the place very well. I feel “responsible” to at least led the group to get to the right track going out from the big airport. All went smooth and we ordered a grab XL car.
To my surprise, the thais kinda look like Malay. I havent feel like Im in Thailand so far. It feels like KK instead. Most probably is because of the people and buildings here. I am really surprised to see the very malay look alike most of the people here are. They are less aggressive too and very polite people!
The distance between the airport and the apartment we’re staying are quite far. I was sleepy but unable much to sleep. I decided to get social with Cyb’s family.
We are staying at Sunreno service apartment, at Charoen Krung.. at least for today. Tomorrow we are going to switch hotels to tour Pratunam.
The first thing I do when I got into the room was switch on the aircond :p the aircond didnt cool the entire room quick enough although the aircond is cold enough and working well. I found myself falling asleep on the floor, just below the aircond :p
I woke up after some time, prepared myself hot chocolate and cup noodle. Cyb informed me that the place we’re heading to (Asiatique) opened at 4pm…so we have 1.5hrs to spare. For the first time, I straightened Cyb’s hair with the flat iron I brought along all the way from Brunei.
The socket in Thailand is not my usual everyday socket back in Brunei. I was unaware it is going to be different. While I usually use socket type G every single day, here in Thailand is using socket type B! My phone charger plugs are really useless at this point. Thank goodness Cyb brought her previous samsung plug which supported those socket.
We had our dinner at an indian restaurant. The restaurant has an interesting name, “Mrs Balbirs” :) after dinner, we went our own ways, shopping and looking around the variety of things on sale. I manage to buy the suitable charger plug to charge my phone for 100baht ^^,
The rain was still pouring when we went back. It was almost 11pm when we went back. I took my time showering and then relaxing on the bed. Cyb and I talked for a bit til we both fell asleep.
UPDATE: I was supposed to post this last night but I fell asleep. Yesterday we toured Chareon Krung and this morning we explored Chak Phet. Today will be another adventure to Pratunam :)

I dislike Kausar??
Day 2 of the blog challenge! To write 10 likes & dislikes of mine. Wait, does this mean
5 likes + 5 dislikes = 10
OR
10 each ?
Without thinking too deep about this, let’s just go with the 10 each cos it makes more sense aint it. Now now, gotta be more specific here cos I can’t really quickly line up what I like and what I dislike in a second. Say… put it this way, since there are 10 elements needed, I’ll subgroup the likes/dislikes to a further 5 sections (man, the 5 again because I’m born in the awesome month of May[5]). Let’s put Food, Drink, Place, Attitude and General (misc.) with two items under each section.
We’ll start of with a negative list and end up with things I like cos everybody love a happy ending.
10 THINGS I DISLIKE
1. Chicken Liver. I’m not sure why I really can’t take this. I’ve tried! Maybe I just can’t win a chicken’s heart at all…
2. Sour savory. Ok I can accept sour drinks, icecreams, gums but not on savory food that meant to be eaten with rice. Dishes like sweet&sour, mango style…just No no No no no no No NO.
3. Kausar. This is that popular drink that is really EVERYWHERE during the fasting month :D all the people I knew love this drink. I just don’t. Something is definitely wrong with me… Mum?!
4. Samboi drink. I don’t eat samboi as food too. It is not because of it’s sourness. Samboi has this distinct taste that I know a lot of people actually find it addictive but not for me. Too bad I can’t join a “piranha parade” when a pack of samboi is around, it is okay tho, more for you people :)
5. Traffic jam. I’m sure I can relate this with everybody.
6. Too crowded. This really applies on a hot day with some rude people around��not fun.
7. Empty promises. I have a hard time trusting and when I do, I always trust. Afterwards when people mess up with their words, I can’t seem to take in their words again.
8. Leaving me hanging. I’m okay with the truth. I’m okay with waiting. I can put some consideration. Just “tell” me. If I’m not informed, I’m definitely not okay with waiting - just not okay.
9. Bright colour wears. Don’t get me wrong, I find bright colour dresses as attractive. I only dislike it when I’m the one wearing it. I like dark coloured wears and most of my wears are black anyway.
10. Inconsistency. Although I am spontaneous and really quick in adapting changes, I cannot tolerate with inconsistency in terms of words and actions towards me. If you’re going to be nice to me, be nice. If you’re going to hate me, just hate me. Don’t hate me one time, love me another hour and then hate me again. It’s a tiring game.
10 THINGS I LIKEY LIKEY
1. Yam. Yam or Taro or Ubi Keledek or Ubi Papal in my own home-language. Icecream? Shakes? Waffle? Cakes? Yam itself? Give it to me!
2. Mushroom. Any kinds. Boiled, sautee, grilled, tempura fried, bbq, in a sauce, soup…whatever, it’s mine and you ain’t getting any. I’ll pay you a separate bowl of it if you want, just don’t even put a finger on my bowl. No.
3. Lemon Tea. I use to love green tea a lot but gotta put lemon tea in the list cos this drink is just…hands down, a legend. Been liking it since I was a child and up til now. Hot or cold, whatever whenever.
4. Milo. My parents told me that when I was a child, I refuse milk and they figured out I preferred milo instead. How demanding? But they say it’s cheaper than baby formulated milk ^^ Moreover, Minum Milo anda jadi sihat dan kuat… :p
5. Beach. A calming place ^^ is it the wind? The water? or just the sand? I use to come to the beach alone, lay down on a log and just lay there, thinking alone.
6. Yellow lighting. I realize I like to be in a room with yellow lighting. It’s cosy.
7. Sense of humour. Who doesn’t like funny people? Don’t get me wrong, im also okay with people who aren’t funny too. But whether you’re funny or not, if you have sense of humour and I manage to make you laugh with my jokes and just being silly or random, man i like you. You understand my language! T_T
8. Thoughtfulness. Have you ever heard of the phrase “Peace & Love begins with simple kindness”? I saw this in a card back when I was 8 or 9. I asked my mum what does that mean? She explained to me in malay and set out an example…say my sharpener fell down on the floor and a classmate sitting next to me grab em up for me, how does that make me feel? Just a small, tiny thing like that warms the heart. It’s a lesson for me and you, all of us! Never get tired of doing little things for others, little things occupy biggest parts of the heart
9.Music. I listen to sorts of music. I’m not selective to what I hear. Any genres, any language…i seem to listen to broad type of music. Although the most I’ll listen will be R&B and latin songs. But still you’ll find variety in my playlist…including bollywood and dangdut…don’t ask me why!
10. Flower. Flowers make me smile, flowers calms my soul. The colours, the smell and the serenity it brings is just obviously my soul’s food :)
BONUS
11. Stuffed animals Stuffed animals and plushies…i love em’

Define BASIC
Hi! According to the 30days blog challenge, today I will be writing a boring post about myself ! 
Basic things about me, eh? Let’s first we google up what is basic ;
Tumblr media
Okay, I meant to write fundamental things regarding myself. I love to chop these “basics” about me into 5 sections (just because I’m born in May [5] and without any solid reason why 5 so I have to make up 5 sections right after this) – Background, Personality, Attitude, Career and Relationship. 
1. Background 
I’m born Hamizah but the nickname Abby been associated with me since I was 16. I’m comfortable with this nickname, it suits my personality a lot and the most important thing is, it’s easy to pronounce. 
As mentioned earlier, I’m born in May, in the year of Snake. Specifically the Earth Snake.
2. Personality
I am a thinker, I think a lot and if it's not because of the body’s nature to rest and sleep at night, I would definitely stay up and keep thinking. I’m always on the move for new ideas, new projects and try to make things alive. I like doing several things at once because I can’t really focus on one thing and just because I can manage it – which usually exhaust me afterwards but I’ll get satisfied. Bear with me when I’m doing things, I can’t help racing my mind at 120km/hr.
I would say I have a dual personality of very warm & fun OR gloomy & insensitive me. It actually depends on how others treat me, I naturally respond to your personality. Mostly however, I try treat people before me as long as I can. I’m just generally nice.
I speak up for myself most of the time, but be surprise, I am actually a shy person. I’m curious in nature so I like learning sorts of things. If you got really close with me, you’ll know I’m like an information highway. I tend to know multiple skills (like a friend ever said, knowing everything) but mind you, I’m a master of nothing :D 
I avoid talking deeper topics about myself. It is even more difficult for me to ask for help. I actually think a thousand of times before asking. If I talk my personal thoughts with you, let you in my mind and actually ask for your assistance, you are one of the very few people that I actually trust and do not break my belief in you.
3. Attitude
When I am happy: I’ll give you the biggest smile and share it to you. I tend to overshare what I have anyway but really, it doesn’t bug me because I still believe “we don’t get poor by giving” phrase. Note: it usually doesn’t take much to make me happy :)
When I am sad: 1) Stay quiet and will not talk to you at the moment OR 2) Cry and will not talk to you at the moment.  A good tip is let me be with myself when I say I don’t want to talk, or let me cry if I wanted to. I’ll be right back to you. Just reassure me you’ll be there for me.
When I am bored: I usually will get my own entertainment myself, even if you throw me on an island with no people and no cellphone. I most probably will make a sand castle and find it so entertaining. Don’t be alarmed if I laugh alone with no apparent reason, sometimes I just could talk with myself in my mind and make jokes.
When I am mad: Although it is hard for me to be very mad because I will assure self-control from being too mad, pissing me off however is the dumbest thing you want to do because if you do, I’ll drag you to the gates of my hell and I’ll escort you right in with a smile in my face. However, it is hard for me to stay mad for too long. There’s a reason why I rather swim in the sea of sadness than being angry -- because I know my ability to verbally beat down someone badly when I’m upset.
When I am scared: 1) Thinking the 101 ways to kill what’s scaring me OR 2) Thinking the 101 possibility to die in peace
In a fight: I don’t throw a fist but I’m more verbal. I might be calm, I throw big words that the other person I’m arguing with would not be able to disagree. I was told that I could stab a persons’ feelings right into the heart and before it could stop even bleeding, I could stab it again and again with my facts. For which I was told that all I said was too precise that the other person find it so true and still couldn’t disagree. However I tend to avoid fighting and I take several knocks down (being extremely patient) before actually arguing. But really in all seriousness, I’m more of a lover not a fighter. I’ll calm down and come back to you in peace to hear you out and hear myself out.
Dealing with nice people: You’ll feel at home and I’ll treat you my very best as if you’re a family. I do not care who you are, where you from, what you do/did, what you wear, what’s your background etc – you will automatically be the most attractive human I ever see once I regard you as nice. I generally accept people for who they are even if say, others would warn me about you. I like attractive personality and don’t mind a plain look. 
Dealing with rude person: I don’t deal with idiocy for too long so I would walk away from this type of human. I don’t see a reason to further talk with a person who doesn’t see the fault in their action. Dealing with them will only waste my time and I have other good things in life to think  about! :)
When I give up: It took me a long time to give up on something, a belief, a person or a thing that I owned. When everybody else leaves the room, I’ll believe there are hope and stay around. However once I finally got tired of trying, I’ll leave with no fight, no argument and sometimes saying goodbye without any expression in my face.
4. Career
I always told that I’ll be a good salesperson, suited well in a marketing department, a creative team and/or a research group. If you ask me what’s my goal is? I don’t know! I make use of all skills I have to my current business right now. I have more ideas in store… *thinking of a new business extension as I type this*
5. Relationship
When I love someone, I love hard. No matter how hurt I am. If you’re a family, friend and a special person for me, you will know my love for you has no limit. I usually put others first before me because that just really could make my day. Im just the type of lover who’ll be, if i have it, you’ll get it boo.
I realize I tend to fall in love with someone who is the opposite of me. I know I fall in love with the minds first. A relationship that begins with sexual attraction won’t last if it is with me because I need those mental connection. I value honesty, loyalty and commitment in a relationship - for which I will also give the same and even more than I’ve gotten. 
I guess you’re getting to know me a little today? ^^ 
NICE TO MEET YOU! I’M ABBY!

Be on Time   My life seems to be a rocky ride since the beginning. When I was 9 years old, I thought my life is going to be simple. I’m going to study til the O levels, get a simple job, settle down and led a moderate life. It was also starting that young age, my life been a hustle up to today. Life were never easy, I faced challenges, family issues, struggling with voices in my head and keeping sane. I would never had imagined that today, the 28 years old me is having what she earned, living life to the fullest despite the troubles she faced… thanks to her stubborn nature. Without my stone-headed side, I know I wouldn’t be living today. All in all, I believe in “doing something” and not quitting. I mean, I have no one to fully rely on because it is others who rely on me. I have to keep hustling because who’s going to cover me up when I totally fall? No one but myself. I never had imagined that at this day that my parents need me. I never imagined that I will face serious health issues. I never imagined that I can’t get a descent job but run around here and there doing business. Being alone but not lonely to face life, over the years, you know being stone-headed is what keeping me rolling. The key word here is DETERMINATION. Once you’re determined - not giving up, listen to others, be observant, putting others before you – now, you’ll get a hang of RESPONSIBILITY. This is when you start to get entrusted with decisions, taking over things and having full control. Responsibility however doesn’t mean it is given. You find it yourself too. The moment you realize you are responsible regarding a certain thing without being directed, you know you have COMMITMENT. Now, being determined, responsible and committed - it all started with the easy phrase “doing something”. You have to start it, get back up when you fall, initiate moves and not giving up to the universe. My blog title today is Be on Time. What does it has to do with my writings so far? Napeleon 1 quoted “There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at … who steals what is most precious to men: time”. You can quickly conclude here that, a terrible thing to waste is someone elses time. If you’re a thinker like me, think deeply. If you waste your own time, you are robbing your own time too. You are the robber of your own time if you are not “doing something”. Being on time doesn’t always mean full perfection. It is all about progresses NOT perfection. You keep driving ahead, you progress no matter it is a 5KM, 5M or 5CM or 0.5MM etc ahead! You don’t reversed back but you paused, get yourself up and drive front again. Appreciate your time, appreciate others’ time. Small thoughts mean a lot.

Time to sleep
I've been a bit restless since things went a complete upside down. And lately I came back to my usual spot. Came back to be... me. It's sad to think bout my current health which is not in favour. That doesnt stop me from working, working and working. Im worried about a lot of things going on. At the end of the day, I gotta be a warrior. Not a worrier. This Syawal kinda marks a time for me to slowdown and sleep. I slept a lot since Tuesday. Like, really a lot. While I was getting plenty of rest, some things happened and troubled me. I guess things happen for a reason. I might not know the right reason as of now but I have the chance to sleep and rest more...and I see that as a blessing. I keep on believing that we've given this life bcos we are strong enough to live it. Just more than often, we tend to forget our strength. THINGS WILL BE BETTER.

For which I believe, love is not about running away & giving up but to keep standing & fight when things get hard. Sad enough, sex and letting go are easy to be done. Because reality, talks and holding on are things that tend to b overlooked of its value.

Long time no Tumblr
I was cleaning my phone earlier and deleting some not useful apps when I stumbled back to this "t" in a blue box icon -- Tumblr app. Then I realized.. the last time I gone tumblr-ing was 2 yrs ago. The recent ones are only linked update from instagram. A lot had happened. My life changed a lot and I am still adapting it. It's not easy but I'm guessing, others will tend to think it was easy as I don't show how difficult these times are. The reason why I say that is because of the number of people I'm close with who breaks my heart and beats me up repeatedly..mentally. Im grateful however to those who understands and stayed around. Been sick for the past month anyway. All in all, I've survived my life to date... I need to continue being fearless. I'm a damaged person but I have hopes. Hope whispers, "try one more time".
