Lost.

 Bismillah 


It had been a very long while since I ever write anything.


I am recovering from flu, alhamdulillah 

Past week had been exhausting, but productive. Alhamdulillah 

Last weekend I went back to KL with Mek/Klong/KJah and the boys on Sunday noon (yup, planned to leave after breakfast but there were EMOT till almost 5am) 

Monday morning - I brought mek to Hospital Banting with ayah for ECHO and to arrange Holter (Thanks a lot Jason!)

On Monday night - I took bus back to TM - it wasn't the best journey ever. Had ache everywhere but now looking back, probably it was the start of my flu and I was having myalgia. 


Throughout the week, I was watching K-drama after work and sometimes till late night (I know I shouldn't sacrifice my sleep) but it was just irresistible. 


The title of the series was: Twenty Five Twenty One 


I never thought that there will be a movie/series that would make me cry more than "A walk to remember".


And yup, I never rooted for hero and heroine as much as I do for this series- and sadly they didn't end up together t.t They really brought out the best in each other. <3


Here are some of the lessons I learned from this movie: 

i-Progress is not an upgoing slope. Or the exact words were: 

ii-Skills don't improve every single day. They're like steps on stairs - there are times we go up (get better) and there are times we are stagnant. And most people will want to quit in this stagnant phase, because they think they are going nowhere. In fact, they are yet to become better. If one persevere, s/he will break through and improve. 

iii-Love should bring the best in each other. You want to see your lover grow stronger, be better and be the best version of themselves. And by seeing them grow, it makes you want to grow as well.

iv-Authenticity can be its own kind of power. As long as you put your heart into it- with passion and hard work, in the right way, nothing can stop you. 

iv-Hurtful truth hurts, even more if it is coming from the people we love, but that doesn't mean we should ignore it and push it away.  Embracing it will get us stronger, confronting it will clear the confusion or murkiness amongst us. 

v- Believe you can. That is one thing that will pull you through even when you feel that you are against all odds. 


Anyway, here are some quotes I gotten from the internet (https://korean-binge.com/2022/02/14/100-quotes-twenty-five-twenty-one-2022/)
