The Adventures of Pui #1

Once upon a nighttime, Pui was diligently, as ever, working on procrastination.

When suddenly, the doorbell rang.
DING DONG! or however doorbells ring where you live. You know, just imagine it.

Pui looked up. Strange, no one ever comes at this our. So he went to open the door.

Pui was startled! Someone was at the door! Well of course, someone HAD to ring his doorbell after all. But Pui had never seen this person before in his life. He looked intimidating.

He had muscles...

and was very tall.

"Hey little person" He said with a loud scarey booming voice. "Wanna join my karate club we're doing promos and what not"

Now, keep in mind that he was very tall and intimidating and very tall.

I would draw another picture to show you how tall he was but you should get the idea. So this is what Pui heard: "I have come to eat your kidneys and before I take them I would like some ketchup"

But then Pui heard the word "PROMO". GOD DAMN IT. I have enough telemarketing people already I don't need a knock on your door version of that!

So Pui summoned up all his courage and said: NO!

But the guy was intimidating with muscles and being tall so Pui let him in the house anyway and had to listen to an hour of his promotion which failed to sell.

And so, Pui continued to waste his life on procrastination.

A tad of vanity

Hey guys, the moral of the story above was that people who do martial arts are intimidating.

How has everyone been? Since my last update, I redyed my hair red! Unfortunately it doesn't come out great on camera, so all the pictures I have look brown.

Anyhow, this is my hair prior to it being cut.

And this is a picture of it with my friend Arthur at his graduation! Grats man!

If you look hard enough where the sunlight hits my hair, you can see that it's red! How do you like it?

Simplicity

Hello dear readers! I know it's been over half a year since my last update, but rest assured, I have not forgotten the blogosphere! Life has just been hectic over this period of time and much sleep has been lost within the time I've disappeared. For those who have followed in the past and decided out of the whim to take a look again, you would already be familiar with the fact that I'm a young adult preparing the end of his education and stepping into the 'real world' of adults.

Damn the real world of adults.

Apparently a figment of children's imagination

Thankfully, I have yet to step into the scarey real world. Unfortunately, I am a little too old to fit into the pretty looking 'world of children'. Kinda stuck somewhere in between...

That's me...cept I'm asian and not a girl

Apart from the fact that the pictures above was probably one of the worst representations of such an important phase in life, what does remain true is that life gets busier. The time you use to use to surf pointless forums, downloading pictures of your new favourite boy/girl band of the month becomes less and less. Slowly you begin to cry out in distress, life is so packed and stressful, where is the time to do pointless things on the internet?

I WANT TO WASTE TIME ON THE NET!

So perhaps the lack of time to be able to wasted away isn't exactly a reason as to why so much stress builds up as you age but insufficient time to relax is. We've all heard the saying "Stop and smell a rose" but quite frankly, sometimes finding a rose to smell is pretty difficult. So I've compiled a list on some of the things you don't have to go out of your busy schedule to do.

Unless you're a baby

Looking out the window

Yes. Unless you live in a maximum security confinement prison thing you will bound to come across windows throughout your day. I don't mean stare blankly out the window either. PAUSE for a while and admire the bird flying peacefully in the sky before cursing under your breathe when it shits on your car. Enjoy the sunshine, admire the wondrous patterns the grey clouds make on a cloudy day, mesmerize yourself into calming rain drops. Appreciate the architecture nearby, the cracks on the walls, the dents on the road, the weed and the webs hanging off the lamp.

Breathing

Something a majority of us take for-granted. You don't have to be on your death bed to appreciate the fact that breathing means you're alive. Try this. Stop breathing. Manually stop breathing. Then when you can't hold it anymore slowly take a deep breath. Don't gasp for air like you almost drowned. Breathe in. S l o w l y. Close your eyes if you need to, and feel the air filling your lungs. Not only does it help you appreciate such a simple automated task, it would also help you calm down. So readers, breathe. Just. Breathe.

Listen

Something that, unless you're deaf, you cannot manually stop doing. However, the human brain miraculously learns to selectively block out things it doesn't wish to hear. Stop blocking out the sounds around you. The rain drops hitting the window pane, the constant tapping of the keyboard, the birds chirping outside, the horrible ringtone the young teenage girl has. Slow down and L I S T E N. Sometimes the most interesting stories stem off the most boring repetitive sounds around you.

Personally, I like to do all these things during a late night drive, with the radio turned up high.

So dear readers, how's your life treating you? Stressed? Look out the window of your world. Breathe the air of that world. Listen and feel the surroundings. Don't forget that it's the smallest things in life which makes life livable.
