A Light Illuminating the Dark

Recently, I took an interest in game script writing
It's similar to movie scripting writing
This is my take to improve my writing skills
One that I have given up since my 6th grade
Combining this with my interest in drawing and music producing
perhaps I might be able to make my own game or visual novel
(that sounds a bit too ambitious, haha)

But, as written inside Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning:

What man actually needs is not a tension-less state
but rather the striving and struggling
for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task.
What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost
but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

Another way is to have something to look forward in life
It's like a positive reinforcement:
Encouragement through rewards that only come by in the future
This will help to draw motivation to
work towards achieving a certain goal in life
and to give meaning to the work/suffering that is-to-come

Acquired taste for Malaysian food

Some food in Malaysia required a trained sense of taste for proper appreciation. Not all people, particularly non-locals, would come to enjoy eating these food. The taste can be considered rather exotic. This is also applicable to locals who did not have the acquired taste for these food.

Arc-en-Ciel

After reading this article (link), I was prompted to write something in reflection of my mischievious adventure I had with the Shin Megami Tensei series, particularly the spin-off Persona series.

My random encounter with this franchise occurred when I was at an age of 16. At that time, I love good stories and I wanted to delve into stories with greater depth beyond what Harry Potter has to offer. I would never have thought that a chance purchase of the (illegal copy of) Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 would have change my life forever.

End of Eden

It's the end of the month of September. For some of us, the song "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day would be most relevant. But as residents in Nusantara, we hope that our nightmare of this haze would end soon so that we can get back to our daily lives.

"Indonesia, why you no do proper peat management?!"



I, on the other hand, was not able to distinguish the days and months in my memories that distinctly, for I have been living in a lazy and stagnant lifestyle, without any aims in life. It was easy to tell that I was suffering from quarter-life crisis: Work was boring and lack of results. Various skills of mine are getting corroded with time. On the other hand, the economy slumps and life becomes difficult. However, after listening to some words of inspiration and motivation on the radio as well as from my close friends, I ponder on what is to become of me after this month. I reevaluate my skills and my assets. I study my strengths and weaknesses. It was a long, tedious process that truly consumed my metal processing capacity. For a few months, I was thinking about this matter day in and out.

After the entire thinking process, I have finally made a decision. I decided to stop going with the flow of events around me. This is not a huge change of attitude or personality, but just a change of activities and environment. And so, with the end of September, I will make that change! This time, I will not be afraid to lose, to fail and to take risk. I will not fear to live life anymore.

new year, same bullshit

First outing of 2015: night photoshoot with Edric :3

Overdosing Heavenly Bliss

So I am finally confirm that I will be going for a concert in Taipei

this will be one hell of an experience that I will remember forever
