Outcome of procrastination
Time flies, it's about one month in Sheffield. One month, not that long, but leaving Malaysia is like centuries ago. Many things have changed in this one month time: environment, people, life and feelings. Here, I realize life is imperfect, with many ups and downs, and many things are just out of my control. I can't manipulate everything, even if I can manipulate certain thing, there would be other external factors, thus, the result shown is not always what I predicted. Somebody told me, from me, he could see life is imperfect because I told him I was totally screwed up myself and my life on that day I was super down and lost. When everything back to normal, mind is clear, and you realize you need to get up and move forward with a cheerful smile on your face. There must be some moment where your life is gloomy, you don't know what you want, you are lost and blur, perhaps that is what we called identity confusion?
I cried, at the moment when I was weak. So what? Why must I tell myself not to cry; just cry out what I feel, just cry out the feelings suppress in my heart. After crying, wipes away the tears, put a smile on my face, it's another brand new day. Then I tell myself, everything is over, everything gone away with the tears, so just let everything goes. Sigh, when your mind is clear, you can be as realistic as you wish, but when you still trap in the negative feelings, who knows exactly how you feel? No one except yourself. I don't expect others to feel the way I feel, because I myself can't feel the way others feel. For example, if a friend come over me and tell me his problems, his fear, I will automatically told him "I guess you think too much already, chill man, everything gonna be alright, whatever it will happens it will happens, try to be more optimistic, world is not that grey, bla bla bla..." But, I don't know the degree of his anxiousness, I don't know how he feels exactly, because I am not him, and I will never be in his position. Somebody out there, tell me what human actually wants? How can we connect to each other heart by heart, feeling by feeling? Without saying a word, he/she knows what I want? One word, HARD!!! So, human is actually simple like "tabula rasa" or complicated? I don't know.
Okay, I should concentrate in my works, stop procrastinating. There would be a study week next two weeks, study week, will I be studying? Hahaha, hopefully I will. Looking forward for winter break! But, it's still one and half month to go! Bless me this little fish! Cheers!

Great day
Then we heading to the city and start shopping. Not much shops in Sheffield city, but we seem to enjoy the moment, happily walked around the city for few hours, talking nonsense and non-stop buying. Okay okay, once we got in a shop, saw something we like, thinking whether to buy or not, and convince each other to buy it by using a lot of "excuses" such as "just buy it, we need it anyhow." or "It's cheaper than Malaysia, so just buy it." Joan, you make me spend!!! We said if somebody ask us " both of you are so rich, buy so many things", we should answer in a sarcastic way "who cares, we got the money to buy." (Actually I ain't that rich, but I just have my own freedom right?) Ended up, I bought something. Someone asked me to take picture of what I bought, so I just post here to satisfy her, okay?
~I bought it because I guess is not that expensive~
~From H.M.~
~From Dorothy Perkins too~
~Finally I got my boots~
Well, I hope this retail therapy will help you! Don't say thank you anymore, I myself enjoy the day too! It's really a great day in Sheffield though I overspent. Going to ikat perut for one month already. We shall hang out again next time, next station would be Manchester? Hopefully. If you feel sad, unhappy, homesick, lovesick, or anything, just feel free to come and look for me. No worries gal, you are going back soon also, so just stay happy. Cheers~

Thoughts and craps
Time really can cure a wound? True enough, but I think at the same time, time can create a wound too. Everyday, we were like saying "I need time, give me some time, time will show, etc." But how much time do we really have? One day, two days, ten years, fifty years or the whole life? Time will never stop, time will never wait for us. Most of us assume that we got plenty of time, so we just wait wait and wait, but as time goes, many things have changed. When you wait for the right time to speak out something or do something, it's often too late, everything just too late! Then we will start to regret, but it's useless anymore. I remember one sentence "Right timing is always depends on you yourself, you can actually decide the time." So, if you got anything to tell someone, speak it out; if you wish to do something, do it right now, you will never know what is going to happen next second. Don't make yourself regret because of "wait".
"Just be yourself", this is what my professor said. Sometimes, we are confuse about who we are? We trying to do so many things to find out who we are. But, he told me just do something you are comfortable with, just be yourself. For example, some fashion is very beautiful, but when you try on it, it's actually not suitable for you, it's not ur style and it can't show ur own personality, but you still insist to buy it, just for the sake of the beautiness. But don't you think is weird wearing something which is not suitable for you? Just put on something which you are comfortable and happy with.
Dealing with a memory test recently, can I just delete the memory I don't want? Stupid question Dolly, when you are being intellectual, you scolded people who ask this question. I think we can choose to not remember, but at the moment, you already think of it, something is just beyond our control! If one day, I forget everything happened between me and a person, then we will become stranger or the most familiar stranger? Even though you think you already forget, but actually the memories is inside your forbidden thoughts, who knows? Freud might know. Okay okay, going crazy... Memory memory, an interesting topic. I wish something it's just STM, but not LTM.
Okay, I am patient enough, I am calm enough, and I am trying to think about myself.................. That's all I can do!

Weekend
~Sheffield City Hall~
~Combination of roasted pork, roasted duck, and charsiew~
~Roasted Pork and Fish Fillet Rice~
~Dinner in "wong ting"~
I feel like shopping and hang out recently, but I just couldn't find the right "kaki". I feel like buying a lot of things, eat a lot of food, there are so many things I wanted to do!!! And where is the right timing, right person, and the right feeling??? I am searching for it all the way long...
A quiet Saturday night again! Alone at home, planning to do my summary which due on Tuesday, but keep procrastinating, wondering why? I know I should start on my study, my assignments, but I just ended up blogging, watching movie! Help me, procrastination is taking control over me! Hahaha.. Will start working soon, hopefully...

Crap
Well, I admit is my fault and I am so willing to face it, I learn from experience and I told myself the same thing would not happen next time. I will only make a promise when I know I will try my best to do it. After the emo period, I also need to stand up, to face the world and to continue my life. Honestly, I had never thought of giving up my life just like that, and I appreciate everything gave by everyone. I appreciate the sacrifaction my dad gave me to further my study in UK. Since that day my dad promise to let me come over UK, I told myself not to make him disappointed, I told myself I must live a happy life here and enjoy every moment here. I tried, that day I left, I didn't cry, even a drop of tear also don't have. I told myself I cannot cry, I must be brave, even though deep in my heart I am so fear to travel alone, but I did it, I came to Sheffield, I survive!
Perhaps I suppressed my feelings for quite a long time, so it's just split out with the presence of some stimulant. I cried, cried out the fears in my heart, cried out the tension and pressure in my heart, I just feel like letting out the feelings, sadly in a wrong way. But when I woke up from the unconsiousness, I realize many things have changed. I learn a lot from this experience but why can't just give me a chance to face it, to live a new life? It's like the criminal from the prison, they wish to live a new life, but the people and society never give them a chance to start over again, because in human's mind "once you make the mistake, you will never got the chance to restart." But, do you know what a person who fell before want? They just need supports and some caring actions, not the realistic and sarcastic words which cut off their hopes. After a trauma, people are psychologically weak, try to be empathy, try to feel the way they feel, give more supports, you will never know you actually helping a person to feel there's hope in this world.
Come across a book, psychology is not about common sense, think deeply, it is more than a common sense. What is a good theory? Good theory is falsifiable, which it has the possibility to be false. We can't always get the exact data to support the theory, that's why from the discomfirmation of data, theory evolve to be more relevant to the reality. And making mistake is very normal in science, so as being a human. Human learn from mistakes, if you want to be successful, you must not afraid to fall, you must not afraid of making mistake, you must not afraid to feel the pain. That's why, when you make a mistake, you learn from it, you are getting closer to succeed. Because from the mistake you made, you know the problem in yourself, you change or modify it, to become a better man.
So, basically this post is about craps... Erm, wanna say sorry to those who worry about me so much, no worries, after releasing the emotions, I am fine and I am sure I could continue with my journey. And, thanks for all the supports and caring... Love you guys so much... muaks..

I lost myself
Then, I was thinking am I taking the right course---> psychology? Sometimes I failed to understand myself, failed to seek a balance for my emotions, and I don't even know a healthier way to release my emotions. I guess I was supressing my feelings for some time, and when it goes overload, I totally lost control, trying to hurt myself as well as other people. Very sorry to Victor, I don't know I did something so stupid which is beyond my control, really. I don't know what happened at that moment, and sorry for being sarcastic to you and if my words did hurt you. I am really very sorry. Oh my god! Dolly Loong is such an idiot, trying to do something which I myself label it as the most stupid action in this world. I don't even believe I will have such thoughts you know. Sigh, after all, I just realize how weak, fragile and useless I am.
I have a different life here, and everything I do here is not something Dolly will usually do it. What the f**k, since when I become so kind-hearted, so helpful, so selfless, so polite, so FAKE? I thought I can pretend to be a good person for at least 9 months, but is so so so suffer, I am confuse about my own identity, as time goes here, I guess I am losing myself more. How long can a person without own identity and soul can live in this FAKE world? I am so tired, so sick of all these, and I don't know how long I can bear with it, and I don't know when is the next time I will lost control again, and open the window and jump down. I feel lonely and helpless, and I am not happy at all!
You guys told me I am not alone, and when I walked back to my hostel with tears in the rain last night, the weather is cold, but my heart is even colder, only the tears are warm. Haha, it's so sad to walk in the rain with tears, alone. Everything seems to be so strange for me, the environment, people, buildings, everything everything. Can I just be an introvert starts from today? Can I only live in my own world? Can I built a wall to prevent anyone for entering my world? Can I? Can I? I just don't want to have anything in my mind right now, I am TIRED!!!

Sick fish
I am tired. Here, sometimes I just feel helpless, lonely, and I don't know who can really share my feelings, my joy and pain? I hope there is someone I can lean on, to listen to what I say, is right here for me whenever I feel sad. It's 12.05am in UK, so it will be 7.05am in Malaysia, who is going to listen to what I say? Anyway, thanks Victor, I guess you're the only one who will be online at this time, seeing me being emo and stubborn again! I know you tried your best to comfort me, it's just you being too intellectual sometimes telling me the facts that I actually know. But when it comes to application of the facts, it's not that easy I suppose! Empathy, is quite useful sometimes.
Don't know why, I kind of miss home this weekend. The moments I had in Malaysia will suddenly pop into my mind especially when I was trying to sleep. Before this, I hardly think of the moments in Malaysia, maybe because I'm just suppressing it, to control my mind not to think about that. But these two days, it just popped on me, I thought I was in Malaysia, but when I opened my eyes, I realized I am in this cold and lonely country. This make me even miss the people, the weather, the food in Malaysia. I was standing in front the window, my mind flew, and I am recall back the days I had in Malaysia.
Can I stay strong and tough? Will I collapse? How to become more cruel? Who to hug when I feel like crying? When can I start enjoy my life here? Can time flies?
Study abroad could be interesting and enjoying, but not everyone can understand the toughness we need to go through. Just bless me, everything will be fine!

A short emo post
I am sleepy actually, but I'm just couldn't fall asleep, couldn't close my eyes, I just feel scare, many things flash into my mind, but I don't know what is that, it's just very irritating.
Sometimes, I just don't know what is in human's mind, perhaps that is the reason I study psychology? And I don't understand why people behave in different ways? Background? Education? Environment? or own personality? Learn from experience, this is what I always told myself, I told myself not to mind, not to sad, not to angry. But when it happens, everything just can't go the way I wish. Crying, not worth it, but it's still hurt, I just unable to take it, seriously. Why cares? I am who I am, I am just living my own life, who cares?
Okay, people who understand me don't need me to speak more, they will just understand me from the heart, know what is my feeling now. Tell me, I can take it, tell me, I don't mind. And tell me, you are here to support and care of me always!

First post in Sheffield
Okay, everyone was like asking what is my feelings? I don't really know seriously, it's just complicated! Before I reached here, I felt nervous and worry, cause I don't know a single thing here. When I was on the plane, how I wish I could be back to Malaysia but I know I can't as there is no turning back for me, I need to move on no matter how. When I reached here, yea, it's just not that bad compare to what I think. Thanks to those who help me all along in Sheffield, I appreciate it very much, sincerly. I don't have a serious homesick here, don't know why, perhaps technology really make people get closer no matter how far they are. When a friend told me she is going back to Malaysia this coming December, and some of their parents are coming to visit them, how I wish my family members could be here, but my dad ain't rich and I can't just add burden to him. My tears didn't drop down since I reached here, I know I can't, it will only make me become weaker. Dolly Loong, you must be tough no matter how and I think I am tough enough, wahaha... It's okay, I just used to be going a place by myself all the way long, it's tough, but I realize just depends on how you look at it.
Life here, quite simple and relax I guess. It's actually a "green city". The university, it's big, and the design of the buildings are fascinating. Here are pictures of the University of Sheffield:
Besides that, thanks for the warm sweet message from my sister, brother-in-law, cousins, and my friends. I know you all will be my side no matter how far I am and no matter what happens. I know you guys will be supporting me always, and that's give me power to live my life here. No matter what happen, I will keep moving on. The supports you gave me mean a lot for me, really. I will be missing you guys, no matter where you are: Malaysia, Australi, and the United States. Take care and thanks for everything! We shall always keep in touch! Hugs!
