& I'm waiting

Of Lunar New Year & Eeyore

CNY passed really quickly and I found myself in yet another crazy pile of work.

But I still very much enjoy slacking and I just spent 40 mins doing this...
(For the record, I shall make this post for that, since I don't know what to update for Feb anyway.)

Eeyore: “It’s not much of a tail, but I’m sort of attached to it.”

Known to be a pessimistic, gloomy, sardonic donkey, but Eeyore himself doesn't think so of himself. In defence of Eeyore and everyone who are being accused of being pessimistic but don't think so, we simply over think.

It's part of wisdom, but ironically, Eeyore doesn't have much expectations of himself, thus he keeps most of his opinions to himself. That said, he enjoys being gloomy to a certain extent, which I definitely relate to.

Lastly, Eeyore is a reliable friend and because of his gloominess, he appreciates every little thing his friends do for him, especially when his tail is missing.

3 Eeyore quotes for everyone:

1) "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. Or so the say."

Because as inherent as selfishness is, so is the desire for selflessness.

2) "It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.

"So it is."

"And freezing."

"Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

Because there is always a little optimism in pessimism and we always like to make bad things sound worse than they really are.

3) "Thanks for noticing me."

Because the need for acknowledgment is underlying in almost every action we make. A little attention you give to someone can go a long way.

Thanks for noticing me. :)

Challenge: Post a picture of a character you can relate most to and tag your friends.

The only thing that is different.. is that I changed. I no longer just keep things to myself, and I definitely have expectations of myself, though I don't work hard to achieve them, hah.

And I aren't as pessimistic as before.
Is that a good thing?

Luping is a lost child that has been seeking for her career direction since the first time someone asked her "What would you like to be when you grow up?", when she was still too tiny to reach the basin in her house. Despite reading books like What Should I Do with My Life: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question by Po Bronson, she had been searching like a headless housefly (literally translated from 无头苍蝇) past graduation when she actually probably needed to find a job. Eventually, she found a job and a... direction.

For those who know Luping personally, she loves plushies/soft toys and is prepared to go on war with anyone who gets their hands on her babies. Her babies are personified with voices of hers and her Mummy's, and both of them enjoy framing the babies for things they obviously cannot do. When her Mummy suggested that if one day, the babies actually speak up, “那应该会吓死” (it would probably frighten one to death), she responded that she will instead “开心死” (be happy till death) if xiaofenhong (our cute, hot pink, flat bunny) replies her. That is the extent of her loneliness love for her babies.

And for those who know Luping as Amethyst, she is a rather huge fangirl of the Korean boy band, Super Junior. So much that she learnt (and is still learning - 반가워요!) Korean in hope of understanding what they say without subtitles and avoiding the losses in translation. She has been a fanfic writer for two years and counting, which sparked off her interest in writing and thus, this blog to practise writing so that one day, she might have the courage to apply for a (content) writer position or send in a manuscript to a publisher.
