How am I trying to progress in life despite struggling with health issues?
By initiating multiple group & self-projects, work,volunteering,
hobbies and doing many research on certain topics.During the last few months, I was busy writing my book
about the state of human mind and spirituality called, “Tunnel”. Sadly, my health and time has been distorting this specific long term
project and I find it hard to finish it on time. It’s a personal book and
compilation of inspiration that I had obtained from people and books. There are
days, I hunger for more new substances, knowledge and materials for the sake of
the book itself. I showed the sample to my friends and they were saying, “Moon.
This book is so fucked up. It’s so heavy and poetic. My mind feels like being
raped” and “You’re a fantastic writer. It’s not my type of genre, sadly”.Sigh I get
a lot of critic and sappy remarks, I guess. Maybe this book isn’t meant for normal and lazy
thinkers. I had to leave this book writing project for a while or rewriting it
in a simpler, lighter and easy to comprehend version.
There are websites and blog company that wanted to hire me as their
fulltime writer and columnist. I could only work on late nights and certain days. So,I wasn’t be able to give them a full-time
commitment because I had others responsibilities to attend to and I’m
restricted to always be on the go. I’m a person who loves working with and around
people but also prefer working independently at the same time. In simpler words, I
have to stay balanced and strive for productivity and efficiency to “work smart, but
play harder”. Yeah. I don't really support the idea of being a workaholic myself. I’m not somehow who works really hard unless it intrigues
me or requires the decree of originality & creativity more than the rest. I lay my head
and body to rest if I’m tired and rush for the dateline. I work at my best when
it’s near to the end or when I feel my creativity is kicking in. Writing and composing needs time and consume
a lot of mental energy,agree? (Admit it people, if you’re doing your assignment and office
paper work, you’ll start to be all dizzy and lazy or needing find "motivation")
In conjugation of my vloging and reviving this blogging space which I started again very recently, I think the idea of trying my best to distract myself is absolutely filled with risk and low expectations because I do not want to go all out to expose my personal life to gain fame and publicity. I will keep it low and hidden from the rest .It's okay for me to go big in my music projects, webshows, sketches,arts, poetry and careers but NEVER GO LOUD if it involves my personal space or memoriam of myself to my friends and people who really had knew me up close and personal. The purpose for me to go on with writing piece of digital memory about my life is to be immortalized on the net and preserved as the person I wanted to be. It's somehow creepy and sad but I wanted to be known or be found somewhere & somehow after I'm gone. To be honest, I wanted to be remembered eternally as a person that loves to express their thoughts and soul in writing, to help relate myself with others or open their minds as if I'm going to live forever.
Highlights of the past.
Last April before my last work trip with the bank to Sibu-Mukah-Daro-Semop. I was invited to my first Social Entrepreneurship event at BCCK (Borneo Convention Center Kuching) called SEHATI 2016. It was initiated by MaGic Shd Bhd. The first company of its kind and give a head on start ups to local entrepreneurs and exposure about SE to fellow Malaysian. They had been organizing successful bootcamps and programmed nationwide. It was a very well organized and received event indeed.Most of the attendees are university and college students, NGO's and young entrepreneurs. I had great time meeting people there even though I was alone. There are people with special needs who came there as guest of the talk show. Not so surprisingly, many of them came to hug me and smile. Some of them are very warm and innocent, I had the chance to talk greet and met the CEO of the company. The crew and excos there were nice and professional too.I did grab the opportunity a lot of question about the future of SE and support programme/apprenticeship. It was a very inspiring event for me for sure.
Some memories of the SEHATI 2016:

The stage set up. I was sitting nearby the speakers and CEO's.
Random students taking selfie with me at the stage.
During the selfie with strangers challenge.
With one of the special needs children.
Living with autism and down syndrome. He was trained to
do crafts and arts. Gave me a sudden hug before I left the stage.
The founder and CEO of MaGIC Shd Bhd, Ehon Chan.
Very young and aspiring. He told me to keep on doing the things
I had passion on and give social impact.
The emcee of the SEHATI 2016. Very fun and entertaining guy on stage
Also the exco and crew for MagIC SE programme.
We share the same kind of smile!
It's really great to know that there are group of passionate people trying to make a difference and solve social issues by creating impact to the society while generating income. I'd support any kind of event and bootcamps that allows local businesses and young entrepreneur for this noble cause. Hoping for more Malaysians to have the courage and expose themselves in making a difference to the society. This kind of thing makes the world a better place to live and create individual filled with kindness and generosity.
Till then, "Whatever happens, happens" ciao. I love you all.
