I recently watched HOW TO BE SINGLE. Its effing good. Please go watch. Its so so relatable. I've been single for the past 4 years... IKR... you must be thinking I'm picky as fuck.. Maybe I am.. Or maybe I'm an asshole (I might be)... or I'm just too good at being single ?
"Robin: To no drama.
Alice: To no drama."
Maybe because I hate hate hate drama. I don't see a point of quarreling over things and trying to make some changes to compromise each other. Which eventually one of yall will feel like shit for not being yourself.
In the movie, Alice is so me. Wanting to be in love, but eventually realized that loving yourself and to enjoy your own company is more important. Because if you don't love yourself, how are you gonna love somebody else ? Hell yes ! (its a quote from Rupaul)
"cause You're getting so good at being single, so set in your ways that you'll miss out on the chance to be with somebody great"
also of cause my life have been really really really interesting... I wanna tell yall the story... but I reveal myself already on my blog... so all the juicy stories need to stop... or else it'll be like yall reading my blog like 50 shades of gay, and yall know who I am.. maybe yall are on my fb also...
I really wanna blog about my sex life hahahhahaha cause for the past few months.. its been one of the most interesting ones I ever had... in my sex-history...
this is also why I will always be single... cause I'm so good at being single, enjoy being single and do everything you possibly could when you're single.
I'm not gonna lie.. I'm feeling a little depressed now... for the past 2 weeks, I have been applying for all the jobs I see on jobstreet (only those that I think is suitable for me, I'm not that despo)... But still its alot of application. I'm in the hospitality line and I am really really really reluctant to work in Malaysia. WHY ? I think you can figure it out yourself..
I have been sending resume like giving out flyers to Singapore and Macau... I did hear back from some. Turned down some cause they sound shady (those in sg... damn jual mahal)... Applied through a lot of hotel website... Created so so so many accounts for the hotel groups just to apply with them...
And yes.. I got turned down like so so so many time... Sometimes I just wonder if I'm not good enough.. My resume seams fine... I think.. Its been a really mentally torturing 2 weeks.. Making a trip down to SG for interview, waiting for Silk Air to respond (I don't think I'll get it), got turned down by so so so many hotels... Interviewed by a hotel from Macau today, fingers crossed... but I don't think I did a really good job.. which I feel like crap about it..
I really really don't know how I feel about things now.. its like every time I take a chance on something... nothing seams to be AT LEAST promising.. Well, at least Macau were really really nice, really polite during the interview. (unlike some, I felt like I'm being interrogated)
I'm just so lost now.. KL is like my LAST LAST choice. Not that I don't want to work here.. We all know no one is gonna pay a fresh grad well in KL. If you're planning to pay back your student loan asap and save up, its really quite hard... Shitty life in KL
Feeling depressed now... as fuck
urgh.. pls pls pls reply
I rarely participate in big parties and stuff... Cause I guess I'm a little socially awkward and I don't know how to talk to new people.. I will just dig a hole and bury myself if its awkward lol. But yea, I went to this party my friend is throwing. Everyone are from different place. Some are working in SG and the rest of us are all over kl. Rarely meet up.. Hence the party.
Started by meeting everyone for dinner at Twenty5 at Sri Petaling. I think some of you guys might know about this restaurant. (the chef is cute. the staff too... but I think they're straight) I ordered that BIG CHEST MUSCLE, its so so so good. I'm not even kidding.. The chicken breast was just nice, not dry, the sauce went well with the meat and mashed potato. Reasonably priced.
and yes... obviously we took the group shoot. (pls ignore me.. I look like crap... Too broke to buy contact lens) but yea. It was a great dinner, great company, good food, cute staff. Then we realized that the photo we took look like those from TVB drama. And yes... the dress code is black.. We look like the gayest mafia ever existed... hahahhahaha
hahahhahahahhahahahahahahaha
My friend also rented one apartment from Air B&B, so we can drink and party and play stupid games.
and we found these cute little wearable blanket in the apartment. SOOO CUTE ! they're from ikea.. if you guys found it in ikea..LET ME KNOW ! I WILL BUY
the night is not complete without alcohol... we bought wine and liquor... I don't even wanna talk about the whole drinking thing... I'm so embarrassed... I'll get to that later. SO, my photographer friend (photographer being photographer) brought all his "ka chang" (his photography stash), set up a backdrop and brought a fabulous fabulous ring light.. Everyone gotta take picture infront of it cause its magical... Seriously... It makes you look damn damn damn good
We played the King card game.. and did a lot of disgusting shit. Got my nipple licked, 69 position with a guy, spat wine into someone's mouth... you name it...
Mana tau.. they're throwing a party / birthday celebration for the april and may babes. THANKS GUYS !
KAY... time for my embarrassing story. I drank wine..I don't usually drink wine, cause I'ma beer person and its cheaper than wine and I like cheap stuff, cheap stuff likes me. Walao... I was chilling outside and I collapsed... my friend dragged me into the room... and DAMN... I puked.. I was a little conscious, I'm aware that I puked.. and then I puked into a plastic bag... then I blacked out... I'm not even kidding.. I'm so so so so so so so so embarrassed. I also puked on my friend's feet...
But it is also funny cause my bff Kyle thought my puke was blood and freaked out, and my other girl friend emily calm his tits and started cleaning up my mess... THANKS GUYS HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH I was obviously dead drunk and dreaming about unicorn that shits rainbow by that time..
AND I WOKE UP WITH THE WORST HANGOVER I HAD IN MY LIFE..
nope... not gonna drink so much anymore.... I actually felt alright.. then it hits me... cheebaiiii urgh...
and it all ends happily ever after... My story ends at 2am cause I don't know whatever happened after 2 am... lol... the party last till 5am with me sleeping on the ground... thanks guys... cause they said I'm too fucking heavy.
Just came back from Singapore. Its been so so long I last went there. The currency was RM1.50 to 1 SGD... that's how long it have been. I've always liked Singapore for its infrastructure and a crazy fast booming city.. For me... It kinda felt like the New York of Southeast Asia... Just smaller..
The escalator is damn fast sia ! (gotta say "sia" hahah). I love the mrt and the bus... Seriously guys. Malaysia's train and bus is like hopeless... I'm not even kidding.
I'm in SG for a job interview. YES, I'M TRYING TO GET A JOB IN SG... (don't judge me ).... But it seams kinda hard.. I really don't know how I feel about this.. As much as I wanna go SG, the interview I went doesn't seam so promising.
WHY DO I WANNA GO SG ?
1) the currency exchange.. like duh.. I'll be damn rich in Malaysia if I can save up
2) wanna go there cause I'm bored of KL and everywhere else in Malaysia.. SG sounds like a good choice.
3) my friends are there
4) THE... MEN... *wipe saliva*
I interviewed for Silk Air too. I made it to one to one interview... I guess I'll wait for their email ? I don't know how is the process like.. Just fingers crossed for everything.
I just wanna change up my environment. I'm a free spirit, don't wanna be trapped in a place for too long. I'll go crazy. Maybe because I've been traveling for 1.5 months, jumping city to city. I guess I just need a change. For the best or for the worst I don't know lah...
Sometimes we just have to go for it don't we ? Just take that leap of faith.. *fingers crossed that the hotels in SG or Silk Air will respond*
For the past 1.5 months, I've been travelling. I quit my job and traveled southeast asia. Which is the best decision I've made. I've always liked to travel. I like to be in a different place, different food, language, culture everything.
Its cliche... But I felt more at home travelling than being in Malaysia. I guess I'm born a traveler, a free spirit.
I went to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Seen a lot and learn a lot. I guess the biggest lesson this trip taught me, is to be content. To be content with everything.
I'm brought up by my parents with clothes to wear, food to eat, a comfortable house to stay in, education, monetary support from my parents.. I have more than I can ask for. Sometimes I wonder why I don't really crave for luxurious good. I guess because I believe I can do a lot more with that money. I can travel, I can make my friends happy, I can make my family happy, I can make other people happy with the amount of money.
I guess I'm at a point where I'm just content with what I have. A decent old samsung phone that does what I need. A old laptop that does all my work. A double story house that my family stay in which I'm really content about. I've never have the need to think about money for education, and for that, I thank my parents.
I've seen people living with the most basic necessity, and yet they are happy. That gave me something to ponder about. I guess they are content with what they have. Food the parents can provide, education, simple clothes to cover.We all seek for happiness, we can buy them... but they won't be permanent..
I'm not saying money is not important. Its important alright. I'll say that we all strive our very best in life. At the same time, be CONTENT with what we have.
till next time Justin Lim aka Kiddystick
The kid that refused to grow up
So... you're 23 years old now. I know you're panicking with a couple stuff like career plan, relationship, friends, your life.. To be honest.. I don't think its going to be a smooth year. People say its the quarter life crisis, where you got to make al ot of decision and panicking for being lost.
There's always been a plan after high school. To do your diploma and degree. That was the main thing.. but.. now you've graduated, you gotta decide which path you want to take in your life. To step in to the "real world".
I know you're a kid that refused to grow up.. But... we don't have a choice.. you're forced to step out there.. regardless what future have for you... its not going to be easy.. There will be time you will decide what you want in your life and what you want to avoid.. You are responsible for your own choices.. Sad to say... I don't think you can be a kid anymore...
This is the year you'll make important choices.. Which friend to keep and which to cut off. Its not going to be easy as some friends are with you for the longest time.. But... you don't feel so happy around them anymore.. Matter of fact,... they are doing you more damage.
Sometimes you feel that you're alone.. Yea... that is how it is.. People will say that you have friends family and all.. But to be honest... you'll be the one that will go on this journey.. Only you will not disappoint yourself..
You like to be alone. Because you just hate hate hate drama. Things are easier being alone sometimes. But don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone..
Dear Justin... just hold on..
xoxo Justin Lim aka Kiddystick That kid that refused to grow up
So, I graduated from Uni. Decided not to jump straight into work, and I decided to backpack. which is the best decision I've ever made. I've been wanting to see the Angkor region for the longest time.
I just graduated.. no job.. no money.. TONS OF TIME.. I got a part time job, saved up as much as I could. AND I WENT !
Things in Siem Reap can be pretty cheap if you can control yourself. NOW... LETS TALK MONEY !! I'm really on a budget, if you're on a budget.. this is for you.
BUDGET ! KA-CHING $$
Siem reap airport to Pub Street : 4 USD for motordob, about 7-10 USD for tuk tuk
Daily expenses : 15 USD a day. (I allocate myself a daily budget so I have enough money to survive)
Angkor Wat : 1 day (20 USD), 3 days (40 USD), 7 days (60 USD)
Tuk Tuk : 15-17 USD for full day at Angkor
Partying : beer (0.50-1 USD), cocktails (1.50-3.00 USD)
Bicycle : 3USD for a day
Hostel : 4-6 USD per night
1 USD is about 4000 Riel
stayed at Funky flashpacker. A party hostel, awesome crowd, food was so so, the dorms are great.
Back to the topic, as you can see from the budget. Your biggest expenses will be the ticket to Angkor. I took the 3 days cause I'm going to cycle and I love to spend a couple days there. If you're not much of a temple person, one day will be enough.
Lets say you'll be spending 4 days there (solo), you will need about 150-170 USD. FOODDDDDD !
Food can be really cheap or really expensive. I try to find the 1USD restaurant. I do spend a little more to try the local cuisine. But my budget for a dish will be about 1-2.50 usd. If they're charging 5 USD above, its definitely a restaurant for tourist. Just so you know, USD to them is alot of money. The locals are not even paying so much for food. In Cambodia, I realized that the tourist are paying so much more than the local.
SCAMBODIA !
Yup.. there are scams everywhere... I'm gonna make it short and simple for yall Tuk tuk : agree on a price. Pay exactly the amount + tip if you want to. Bring loads of change with you. Some may rip you off and ask you for more.. Pay for the exact amount
Tuk Tuk: Don't buy stuff from them... weed, prostitute... anything... DON'T... I've heard alot of stories.. just don't..
Tuk tuk again... : if your hostel provide tuk tuk services, use them. At least they are more trustworthy than random tuk tuk on the street. If they rip you off, you can always go back to the hostel to complain.
Motordob : I hired a motordob from the airport to the my hostel. (they're a vendor outside the airport, they have a receipt and everything, they are pretty trustworthy)... HOWEVER ! those on the side of the road.. DON'T EVER EVER hire them.. I got ripped off.. this guy agreed to bring me somewhere for 2 USD end up charging me 5 USD (which is alot of money to them).. its not that bad, but who knows it can be worse ?
Kids...: those kids.. I know.. but you just have to shut yourself off.. some want you to buy milk powder for their brothers.. but they will just sell it back to the store for money..
YALL CAN DONATE, BUT JUST GO WITH YOUR INSTINCT !
yall can donate to those legit organization / land mine victims / education group etc
despite being ripped off. Do I enjoy Siem reap ? OF CAUSE ! I love it there ! Angkor wat is magnificent, the people are friendly, the food is good, the beer is good. Whats not to love ?
Will update more about Angkor wat in my coming post
