Megalomania

megalomania
· n. obsession with the exercise of power. Ø delusion about one’s own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).
- Oxford Concise Dictionary, 10th edition

I guess, for people who have been reading a lot
or been watching inspiring videos
or listening to motivational talks
may think that one day,
he or she may achieve the same success
that was mentioned in one of those sources
That is the true motive of those materials
which is to inspire others to achieve their greater potential

However, on the other end of the spectrum
there is a group of individuals
who may be delusional about one's own importance
which may result in further conflicts with other humans
and so I thought
as I was reading on the terror attacks in Turkey
and other historical events like the Bosnian War in the 90's
This could also be applicable to present events of the world
such as the aggressiveness of China in asserting their military prowess in the Spartly Islands

All this above is just some random sum-of-thoughts
as I sit in front of my laptop, thinking about my pesticide formulation works.

Vectors to the Heaven

Now I am officially a post-graduate student
Thus, I have accomplish one of my dream

in an local public university
Alright! Let's work hard towards the next target!

Memulai Kembali

Through my reading on some of the writing by Viktor E. Frankl

I came to know the need to have a reason to live

Often, this may come as a commitment to responsibilities

such as one's family, friends and career

From a negative point of view, this may be a form of greed

But yet, this act of greed yields a sense of hope

Snow Song Show

So, knowing that there will be some awesome X'mas decoration in Singapore

I made my way across the Causeway

to take photos of them

Land of Glaze

Allow me to write a bit about Kluang -
a town that has accommodated me for 4 years and counting.



Above is a photo of the town hall
which is located right in the town centre.
It's a building named after one of the many sultans of Johor state.
Usually it's only occupied for some charity events
or stock-clearance sales.



Due to the coronation ceremony of Sultan Johor in 2015,
many parts of the town received upgrades and renovations,
mainly in the form of face-lifts.
The park next to the town hall
get two adjacent water fountains and brand-new toilets.

That's all for now.
Do follow my posting!

Fan Wars: The Rise of the "Prosumer"

Gonna try to re-commit myself to consistent write blog posts
So I will write on random topics
particularly those relate to the song
on my playlist

So, the 89th Comic Market is being held at Tokyo Big Sight
As I write this post
The 2nd day of the event has ended
Fan artists, workers, cosplayers, fans, photographers, commercial retailers
all of these people would be on their way back home
to rest up for another day
because tomorrow would be the last day of an bi-annual event

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
