Patience when you have nothing.

By admin

Two things define you: Patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.

My journey feels like it has been a tumultuous one. I’ve lived back and forth in North America and Asia over the past 6 years and after many trips across the Pacific (and sometimes Atlantic), I finally feel like I can sit still.
I feel like I can appreciate the stillness of life and let whatever happen, happen. Money comes, money goes, jobs come, jobs go. I used to get so antsy about work not coming my way or projects not seeing the light of day. I used to fret so much about that stuff. But now, as long as I can look after myself, everything else seems like a bonus.
Although I have decided to be based back in Asia, specifically Kuala Lumpur, I find myself flying more and more within the ASEAN region. Thankfully they are just short little trips and I get to sleep in my own bed, in my 1000 threadcount sheets! (I’m very proud that I’ve graduated from Ikea bedsheets)
This must be a sign of growing up! But I am truly grateful to be in this position and blessed to be able to live my dreams everyday. I don’t take this for granted and I know how lucky I am.
I had someone come up to me telling me that they used to read my blog back in my old Xanga days (that really dates me) and it made me reminisce how self-centred I used to be. My 20s were really all about me, myself and I, whereas I feel my 30s is about leaving a legacy and having a positive impact with people that I meet along the way.
I believe in the power of positivity and the power of good energy. I am thankful that I can smile cheek to cheek authentically because I’m happy where I am here and now. I guess all it took was a little maturity and a lot of patience.

    No Monday Blues. Finally managed to spend time wit No Monday Blues. Finally managed to spend time with sis @divine_w_jussy and her family up on the slopes yesterday. We always have the best time and Aston has forever changed “冰淇淋” in my head. Allye has saved all these TikTok dances for me to do but there’s never enough time 😭😭😭😭.

    I teman @teeal1 on my LA > San Diego drive and was I teman @teeal1 on my LA > San Diego drive and was welcomed with a big Malaysian meal cooked by his sister @yeanmayteng when we finally arrived. (Had to call @calvin_ngo703 to join that night) 

From the burbs to downtown, this was a beautiful city that was worth exploring. I got to experience @abrahamhickspublications and fell asleep a few times because high sugar got me in a sugar crash! Now I’m back in Vancouver and I can retire the only sweater I had brought on this trip. 🫠🫠 

It’s the last 2 weeks before I’m back in Malaysia. Hitting the mountains this week! 🏂
