Journey of million miles starts with a single step
I'll put everything I got not a single left
I won't stop till I reach the top
And if I burn out I will rise from the ashes
You can't stop just no matter what happens
Things in my life keep over lapping
We keep pushing no matter what the traction
Stand back when u see me in action

How could we do our hair?

Okay, let me ask you what do you like most among long,  short and medium hair cut? Mine is short, I always prefer short hair cut. But, one thing is sure, no one likes to have untrimmed hair, right?

Most of the time, I like to let my hair down and hate to make a part. I just use a little clip in my back side not to get any part. Sometimes I tie my hair with a ribbon to make a pony tail in the back side. When I was a girl, I made two pony tails. And, when I get a bit long hair, I do my hair in a bu

Labuan - The Pearl Of Borneo

I'm re-posting this blog because I finally managed to up-load some more photos. Phew! Finally!

A few weeks back, I took my Mom to Labuan to visit my brother and his family who are staying there currently. My brother and his family lives in Labuan and will be moving back to West Malaysia at the end of the year. Thus, it's like killing two birds with one stone. I've been to Labuan, a few century ago, but never really had the opportunity to explore the island.

Labuan is also known as The Pearl of Bor

Hi, everyone. 

Thanks for a brilliant idea that I was given in the previous blog. I decided to search for the most famous quotes about self-confidence and make a  short interview for you :) 

So what is "Self-confidence"? What does it mean when people say "you are too self-confident", etc. At first let's be sure that we are talking about the right object.

So Wiki says that it is "The socio-psychological concept of self-confidence relates to self-assurance in one's personal judgment, ability, power,

Today I am coming up with my confession. It might be for you something shocking, something you have never had to face in your entire life or some of you might think I am a psycho or mad.

"A churchill life"

Hello, everyone. 

Yesterday I talked to one of my colleagues and we remembered many quotes by the famous and outstanding historical person - Winston Churchill. 

I won't start my blog from his biography because you can read it in Wiki. But I want to explore life by Churchill's eyes and perception through his quotes. 

What do we usually think when we hear the word "life"? Everyone will have his own images in head but I'll share my own: 

-  questions and answers 

- enjoy, overcome 

- be patient

Writing Prompt ~ Quite

I was quite shocked to see that you have deleted my name from your friends list, whereas I was quite right to be quite sure to think that I was getting quite close to you. May be you decided to quit me because of my quiet nature. On the contrary I quietly started to love you, but now it is quite surprising for me that you couldn’t feel my quiet love. It is quite right that sometimes I failed to respond to you and kept quiet. I should have to quit my quiet nature and broke my silence quite in tim

Her dad landed up into turmoil in a jiffy. He felt himself in a quicksand with no one in his sight to shout out for a help. 

"Asvi, you're already an engineer. You are too late to confess me of your hatreds concerning your life."

"No appa, I took this time out to confess my passions, and not hatreds."

Her dad's face looked so worried that have you had his picture at the moment; you would use it as a meme on social media.

"So, what are your passions? Let me know", he said in a low taut voice. Asvi fe

The Egoists' Wedlock

Asvi has finally succeeded to receive a bachelor's degree from a premium college in her Engineering discipline. She couldn't celebrate the event for she didn't live her dreams.

Asvi had other serious plans for life. Her ambition to be a head cook at one of the world-class restaurants couldn't see the light of the day. "Keep

Short Stories?

I'm that kinda guy who loves very much to read short stories . I visualize the characters coming in and love to make films out of the plot. The irony is that I haven't done any movie yet. The backup story sounds so boring that I don't want to share it here. 

To reveal the truth, I drove into EC through my passion to read short stories. I was just browsing on internet when I ran into a short story "The Chapel" by Josef Essberger. It haunts me so much to write and direct a movie by myself.

Expector's Writing Challenge

My History teacher is Anne. She's a middle-aged woman, even though, a high-spirited person. She has  taught me several curiosities about world-famous figures in her thought-provoking classes. In the last class she played a full-length film about Napoleon Emperor's life. She explained to me that most of people are mistaken as to the real physical features of Napoleon. She told that he was an egocentric, small and fat French general. However he's remembered for his brav
