Sorry for the inconvenience, the widget only runs here. This is my personal blog.

How am I? I've been good, great actually. It always seems that whenever I am standing at a cross road, I update something on here.

That is all. I did not want this blog to die...yet.

maybe we are fools trapped in an idea of reality.

Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me.

Current addiction.

"NOT A BAD THING"

Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow
And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday
And while we're at it, throw in every other day to start

I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

Now how about I'd be the last voice you hear tonight?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that's a good place to start

I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding
Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
(Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me)

No I won't fill your mind
With broken promises and wasted time
And if you fall, you'll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine

Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

My life? I can't say much, because I am still as lost and vague as you guys about my life. Sometimes I wonder do people even read my post? Well doesn't matter right? I guess we all are just trying to find a place in life where we belong, to a person whom our heart is willing to return to.

Honestly there's so much to be written down here, but nothing is coming up into my mind. I guess I will leave it here with this song for everyone to pass through the night with. 

False hopes were the best hopes until reality kicks in.

-ism Graduation Exhibition Gallery

3 years of architecture degree. If one describe it as a short 3 years, well I must admit time did flew by. However, nothing was short! 3 years felt like my whole teenage transforming to adulthood. It was a very important phase in my life. I've hurt, I've broke, I've had fun, I've learned and mos importantly I've grown.

3 years, of sleepless night, rushing for deadlines. All for this night. My graduation exhibition gallery.

If you are here to read of  nice and interesting story, I'm sorry I have none, just typing what comes to my mind.

-ism exhibition gallery held in White Box Publika, 8/1/14 - 12/1/14, I know I have behind schedule. Let me take a small moment and congratulate myself for surviving. =)





There were huge loads of picture took during the exhibition, you can check them out in my facebook page.

semester of Feb '11

Will I miss them? I don't know, but as the saying goes, to those who care for me and I care of, we will see each other again. I do wish everyone to have a great future ahead! Let's strive for the best!

late night feelings.

stepping away from reality.

Am I more than you bargained for yet?

It's been so long.

When I'm listening to the right song, the mood is right, blogging will hit me.
All I want to say is I don't know where I am headed but I hope it will be alright.

For people who don't know, I graduated! Yay! Haha.

Yup, I did. And I am seriously proud of myself, like really just so proud. All the sleepless nights, shits taken. Everything. At times I swear I was on the edge of giving up, but I did not and I got this degree. I am so proud of myself for it though.

However graduation means needing to face the world. Face reality and from young, I always just want to step away from reality, even this blog says, "MEMORIES, stepping away from reality."

I'm too young.

Haha, no! I'm 21 (I just turned 21 last December), and I know people 50 years ago, 21 had to go for war, had children. I am just here, doing nothing. One of the reasons of not working first was because I wanted to do stuff to crossed out my bucket list. I believe now is the only time for it. So far doing nothing.

I like the picture below, it gives me hope.

All I am saying, I'm turning 22 this year, hadn't had my life figure out, but I hope it turns out well. 

Please check out my fashion blog. http://thisisiantan.wordpress.com/

I don't know where I am headed with this, but I am doing what I like, is that enough?

I'm just a notch in your bedpost.

White Frog

I don't do this very often but this film actually inspired me to do a blog post about it. White Frog, It is a coming age story, aimed at young adults, about 15-year-old Nick, a neglected teen with mild Asperger’s syndrome whose life is changed forever when tragedy hits his family. It is a story of the power of family, friendship, and love. 

   

First of all, it featured varieties of great cast, Harry Shun Jr. (Glee), Booboo Steward (Twilight Series), Gregg Sulkin (Pretty Little Liars), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) and Joan Chen with B.D Wong and others. I will be honest, the movie is an independent film therefore do not expect much from the cinematography, the editing and the show was a little bit slow and some parts were cut weirdly, but I must say, ignore this minor glitch, you have a wonderful, heart warming and incredible film.

White Frog touches topics that I find society is so ignorant about. It talks about an all american family which looks perfect from the outside but isn't perfect. Who defines perfect anyway? I believe this is a phase many people encounter, trying to keep up to be the perfect child in a perfect family, but what is perfect anyway? Nobody is perfect and that idea of perfect set by parents to the child often torn the child.

It touches two topic, Asperger’s syndrome and Homosexuality. What is Asperger’s syndrome? Well, there is ignorance. I won't explain much, but it has to do with difficulties in social interaction, look it up. We see kids who are socially awkward and classified them as weirdos but what struggles are they going through? What can parents do to help their children with it? I think this tackles the topic, not fully, but it gives us an idea.

Next, homosexuality. It's a common topic, and much common nowadays. This movie tackles it as well. A perfect family from the outside with a closeted son. Many parents and people in general think that it is a sin or abnormal, I won't even waste my time arguing with that, I think people have a choice with who they love and it shouldn't even be a topic. The agony of the child going through this "perfect" family is horrid and I think this shouldn't even be a concern to parents, but the hard truth is it does and I think this film tackled it wonderfully showing the all aspects of it.

Spoiler alert: 

I will just quote the movie and I think even though you find out about this, it doesn't affect you watching the movie.

"Nick, I loved your brother, and he loved me."

"I’m gay. So what?! Well that’s a crime? And you know what? We never even held hands in public, why? Because of people like you and your stupid homophobic family. You think you love your brother? No. I love your brother. You didn’t even know who your brother was."

The quote speaks for itself and it is so beautifully said.

Why the movie is named White Frog? Well, you have to watch for yourself to find out. You can ask me for the movie or try this link I found (here).

before our hearts decide to love again.

What had happen to me?!

Before I die...

What will you do? I guess it's a question we all need to think about. The saddest part in life is not death but to die without accomplishing what we want. Why not we do this? Take out a pencil and paper out now and write down as many of things you want to do before you die and actually do them. I know I need that. I guess the saying is true where it goes, "you have live until you actually lived!" Bet I didn't make that one up. So what is your before I die wish?

Things that came into my mind right now:
Before I die,________________________
I want to sky dive!
I want to migrate to the UK or USA for that matter.
I want to have a child.
Kiss in the rain?
Be famous.

5 things came in mind, what's yours? I bet I could write a full list of things I want to do, and I shall do that! Challenge accepted!

What's been happening in my life? I know you guys question this after I said I will update regularly, but no, I did not. =( I guess I suck at promises, so no more promises, but I will update as much as possible though. Life has been busy! Like really busy. 5th week into my semester 5 of Architecture and not one day I'm free. Nope, NOT ONE FREAKING DAY! I got to hold on, because I need good grades for Master! Oh god help me!

Bittersweet Farewell 私は日本語を理解していない

I actually manage to continue blogging, even though it has been a week, but I told you guys I will! So here we are.

Bittersweet farewell, I know I have been helping numerous farewell over the past few years and sometimes, we meet back within a year. Somehow I guess a farewell it's not only how long we won't meet, but a simple good luck wish in the form of a dinner that your life overseas will be a beautiful one. Same goes to this friend of mine, Moses or we call him Loong Ann.

Okay so the photos above is only bloopers to nicer pictures that I will soon upload when he flies to Japan! Well, I guess here is the part where I type some emotional stuff about how him and me known each other since 13 years old and were best friends till now, 8 years and counting. I guess, what's need to be said, I know he knows it and others that were not said, I shall message him directly. So I'll just tell you guys that he was a very close friend of mine, even though we don't hang out in the same gang in junior high, but he knew all my stuff and was always, and I mean ALWAYS there for me when I needed someone to talk to. Problem not always are solved, but at least there will always be an ear to listen. I am grateful for that and to have him as my close friend.

Back to his farewell dinner, it was just a small farewell dinner between us close friends, 4 of us to be exact, since one of my friend, Viken bail on us. We decided to go somewhere far with good food and buy Moses dinner, since we couldn't afford the watch he wanted. Not sure whether should I mention it here. =P

pictures through my lens.

You could say late is a tradition for us Malaysians so got myself juice works while waiting.

 Dinner was hard to decide, but Syh Won manage to persuade us to Namoo on the Park @ Publika which tasted far better than what I expect, half of it was because I'm hungry though. Haha! But seriously, it was delicious. It's a Korean theme restaurant but more westernise. Serves more burger and  pasta than the traditional bibimbap.

I tried it's Beef burger with rice cake replacing the bread. It was delicious and a reasonable price as well. Screw diet for a night and just enjoy!

They even serve simple bolognese pasta.

Have you ever tried sweet potato latte? It's surprisingly tasty!

Fruit punch!

Sweet potato cake!

 The desert, sweet potato cake was literally sex! Foodgasm, totally delicious, although it's quite filling, but it was very very very nice! Repeating the very because I'm emphasizing on it! Order to share with a few friends, you won't regret it!

Averagely prepare 30 to 50 MYR per person and you can enjoy the food here and even change to keep, so definitely highly recommended!

Definitely we took photos of ourself, so here they are!

Me and Syh Won.

Moses and Neve.

Neve and Syh Won.

Not the group photo we had in mind, but this will do.

The full gallery could be view in my facebook page. Link.

Even though I'm blurry here, but I absolutely love this photo!

ps: Moses is a great guy, willingly be the driver and go all out to help his friends, won't know what life would be like with him thousand miles away.

Something out of the topic, I'm starting up a new fashion blog which I will talk about fashion, more on male, and some other stuff. It will be more short blog post that I go through web and see nice fashion to talk about it, so expect lots of tips and trends, hopefully update everyday or every other day. It's not up yet, but will tell you guys when it's done.
So if you guys are kind, bookmark my new blog : http://thisisiantan.wordpress.com
My other stuff (will put a full list on description soon) :

Bangkok 2013 (1)

2013, a new start to a new year.

First new year resolution, to blog more. It's already the mid of March and it's only my first post this year. I know I'm kind of behind schedule in blogging, but I want to start blogging again, maybe no one's gonna read it, but still, I really do hope there is. 

Starting afresh, therefore the new layout will be up soon, so deal with it right now. Haha. I promise no more delaying and stopping. So let's get started!

*cue song* "This is Ian's blog post."

10-1-2013

I kind of lost the fire to blog, sorry about that, but let me pick it up with a small post first though. I'm trying this thing where I try to seperate my blog post when different style were involve, so at least you get to know what I'm wearing and where to buy it. I hope it's okay blogging this way.

Without further explanation, this is my trip to Bangkok! Yes, hangover 3! Haha, though I didn't get drunk here. So if you are in Bangkok, where is a must go? Sky Bar, lebua hotel and resort.

Here are the links of the Bar and Map :

Sky Bar

Map

It's a wonderful bar with a restaurant located at the 63rd floor of lebua hotel and resort. With its stunning view out towards the city of Bangkok, this is definitely a place to go if you are a tourist there. Price of drinks and food are quite expensive because of the atmosphere, but the service is great.

I would say it's a great place to chill out with your friends, maybe get a drink or two and even meet new people.

Thanks to Li Wei for this stunning picture of me! =D

Penny and Me.

So every time I go to all this amazing place, first thing that comes into my mind would be photoshoot! Literally the first thing that comes to my mind. And to my luck, Ian Cheah was there, a great photographer friend of mine. I was wearing nice clothes, he had his camera there, so why not right?

Harmony Wee and me. Both of us rocking thrift shop clothes.

Clothes on me:
Shirt - 2 Greatest (Thrift shop in Platinum Mall @ Bangkok)
Chinos - Topman
Belt - Thrift shop at Terminal 21 @ Bangkok
Shoes - Thrift shop outside Platinum Mall @ Bangkok
Watch - Calvin Klein

I hope this post was okay to read, but I'll update more soon and by soon it's a day or two, max! Comment if there's anything. Have a great day guys!

i knew you were trouble when you walked in.
