becoming superhuman.

04Jan11


[pictures warning]

saw an article by a website titled “Becoming Superhuman in 2011″.
no I haven’t read it yet.

here is how I wanna’ be superhuman, in my own way.
you can come up with your own!

-

the only constant is God, and change.

so for every passing new year people come up with lists of resolutions and changes.
for 2011 Wen Hao and I came up with challenges.

Things to do that contests your faith, defies your endurance, dares your mindset,
objects your principles, breaks your habits, going beyond your habitat.

dawn is the most hopeful event in life.
dawn is the time that marks the beginning of the twilight before the sunrise.
it prepares the way for the Sun to extend its light to its full glory.

Jan 04, it’s still dawn for me.

while most friends registered for their respective courses and colleges.
some already started college life.

I wait.

2009-2010 could have just been the most forgettable years of my life.
yes, forgettable.

I see these 2 years as 2 years for me to cocoon.
possibly into a better being.

so what does an insect remember of in their days of cocooning?

being insignificant?
being stagnant?
being of no use?
being at the state of pause?

well, I’m not sure if I’m at the end stage of cocooning yet.
but I say 18 at years old, I should.

in retrospect and prospect, the past 2 years could’ve been the best years of my life.
and it could be a trampoline that propel and let fly the best in me.

maps. plans. strategies. lists. build ups. assemblies. battle cries.

“Every battle is won before it is fought…..” -Sun Tzu

what matters in hurdling circumstances is all of the above, before the hurdle.

state the obvious.

sometimes we focus so much on the riddles we become oblivious to the obvious.

eat good food.

every living creature on Earth needs to experience Lorong Selamat.

comfort zone.

after fighting a good fight. go back to your family. go back to your friends.
every super hero needs a home.

you’re not a hero until you’re suited up.

get a nice suit this year, a nice sports jacket, good shoes, nice accessories.
look good.

remember your love.
always remember your love.

 

.

express yourself. be who you really are.
do what you do best.

expose your flaws.

give up.

ever notice that Ultraman or Superman gets super strong at breaking point?

spectate.

2011. how do YOU wanna be superhuman?

    I was listening to that song while taking my time to read this post. By the last sentence my heart squeezed. In a nostalgic, warm way. This post must mean a lot to you. Even if it’s not you must’ve gone through waves of emotions to let it all out. It’s simple, but very well written / expressed. What I love the most is the fact that you added in those pictures as if they were sentences of the story itself.

    I’m glad you’re putting your talent to good use. :)
