A Glimpse of Me

Graduation speeches are supposed to be epic, or so they say. But this epic-ness is certainly elusive according to many experiences shared. For one thing, speeches are tiring not just for the speakers but for the listeners as well, maybe even more so. Valedictorians share their struggles, their hopes and try to encourage their fellow graduates. But sometimes it has become a routine and everything they say was the same as those who have there before them.

The best speeches, however, are given by those who already experienced life and shared their failures and triumphs. These kinds of speeches just leave me teary-eyed and more motivated. Students would then go out to the world, look for communications, physician, architectural or Audiologist Jobs, armed with knowledge, encouragement, and resumes by their side and their idealism as their armor.

Why is it so hard to find silk screen in Malaysia? My sister and I were planning on doing some funny shirts and funny prints on them. The problem came in when we started looking for fabric paints and silk screen. Somehow, nobody knew what silk screen was? I mean, you can get that easily at a book/office supply shops, right? Wrong. I have gone to 5 shops and all I got was 2 small bottles of black paint dye.

But we’re really determined to make those funny prints so I bought stockings in replacement for the silk screen. Hope it works. My sister’s designs are now ready to be printed.

Edgar Allan Poe was said to be the first one who wrote on detective fiction genre and one of the first writers of short stories. He wrote his best stories and poems when he was drunk and depressed. He led a short, sorry life but his writings were nothing short of genius. They were full of emotions and despair that sometimes when you read it you become depressed yourself. He was a poor man when he lived but his original works and manuscripts are now one of the most expensive treasures.

If he lived today he would have spent the entire time in front of a laptop and used up all the black ink cartridges for printing his works. He is definitely one of the best there is, an artist and a genius.

When you stay some place other than your own home, what is the first thing that you want to see in the house? If you ask me, I always check the bathroom first. I spend a considerably long time in the bathroom; it’s my thinking place so it is not surprising that I have some kind of interest in bathrooms. I’m not picky, I may like small bathrooms, the kind that I could reach all the walls if I want to but I could also appreciate large ones, the ones with mirrors, tables, claw tub, chairs, TV and other luxuries. Until now,

I’m still trying to figure out why I consider bathrooms as a kind of haven. Sadly, I think it would take me years to know why.

Sometimes a writer gets stumped and no longer knows what or how to write, this is also called writer’s block, a writer’s dreaded enemy. And I do experience this sometimes, especially if I wrote countless of articles and then I run out of ideas. If this happens, I usually just stroll aimlessly in the internet, searching for something interesting to write.

So I was browsing the internet and this website caught my attention, trustedquote.com. And I was surprised to learn that the site was about insurance quotes and so I end up reading and writing about all kinds of insurance.
