W7: If I had a choice…

    If I had a choice, I wish to fasten the time to let me have more choices to choose what I need and the thing that I love. It seems like I faced many situations in that I could not choose myself as other people have chosen and I can only accept the option that had been left out. For instance, I could not choose my group mates when comes to group assignments at my last university since my class was small. 

    

    On the other hand, I would like to grow faster as I can have more choices to do what I want. Although I know the journey might not be easy, I accept it and would like to solve the problem that not expected. I am prepared to confront all the challenges in the future as life was not easy for a human but still have many good things waiting for us to figure out. 

    Besides, I would like to have a door to go anywhere that I wish to go. I am a person who likes to walk around and could not stay in a place for a long time. I wish to go to other countries to learn about their culture and enjoy their delicious food with my loved ones. Sometimes, I wish to go to a place for work without facing any traffic jams and also can save time to finish more tasks. 

    The door may also let me escape from the reality and bring me to the beach or woods to enjoy the beauty of nature. When I felt stressed, I would like to enjoy the breeze and the silence to let myself have a rest before going back to my busy life. Maybe I need a long break to relieve myself from my hectic life which I could not understand these days. 

    If I had a choice, I wish the door can also bring me to the past. I hope to thank those people who help me a lot. I was a negative-minded person before but these people were the ones who bring me up and let me there was a reason for everyone to live here. People not only can influence people to do something that bad but also the good thing which earns something that we could not use the money to buy it. 

    If I had a choice, I would like to know the reason that I live in this world. It probably let me experience ups and downs until there was a person who let my life feel meaningful. He was my first love so am I and we could not know we will be together after we met. We had experienced many challenges and we were been together for almost two years. 

    Hence, I would like to appreciate what I have now. Although I have no choice to have a door or control the time, I still look forward to what I will face in my future. So, let's enjoy our life as you only live once!

W6: Movies are a reflection...

    One of my favourite movies would be named "Go Ahead". The story was about a family that the problems that they have met which reflect in the reality. It attracted me to follow all the episodes since it was close to my ideal life in the future. Before I go through the story, I would like to introduce my family and myself. 

    

    I am the eldest daughter in the family so I always take responsibility to take care of the other four siblings. My father is an irascibility person and all of us keep enduring his temper when he was not in a good mood or stressed. In the story, it was almost the same as the background of one of the main characters who live in a disharmony environment. 

    However, the main character had help from his neighbour who take good care of him while his parents were arguing with each other. This neighbour is an uncle with a daughter that is very naughty but kind and wanted to help this main character named Ling Xiao. On the other hand, there was a boy named Zi Qiu who leave behind his mother and his uncle adopted him to live together. 

    Hence, these three children were living together until 18 years old when the two guys need to go overseas to study. The daughter of the uncle named Jian Jian was not willing to as they stayed together for around 8 years and do not leave each other before. The two brothers insist to go overseas and Jian Jian who was angry with them went back to her grandmother's house without saying goodbye. 

    After 5 years, the two brothers came back and worked in their professional industry. They thanked the uncle for what had been done for the past few years and wanted to pay back him. I love this uncle as he cared about the children around him although not his own still do his best to give what he can do for them. 

    His efforts were without hoping for any payback but just to hope that everyone lives healthy and happy in their life. It reflects what my ideal life will be in the future as my parents always not understanding me much. The work that I do and activities that I like to have leads me to hope that I can grow faster to let me do something that I like. 

    Talking about my ideal life, I wish that I could have a peaceful life and everything can be discussed nicely. My loved ones will support what I do and even encourage me to work better next time. I hope that I can have an environment where do not have any arguments every day and can plan well for everything. "Appreciate and cherish every moment." This is always my quote to thank what happens in my life makes me stronger in the future. 

W5: The Games We Play…

    One day, I had a dream. I am a little boy who wanted to go to bed and my mum was still knitting on the swing chair. She tells a story of where the world inside the story was without the presence of music and dance. Suddenly, the door was knocked on by a mysterious person calling my mum's name. My mum quickly asks me to hide behind the toy box and asked me to keep a necklace with the key shape on it.  

    "Please open the door, Mary!" the mysterious person says. When the sentence finished, the door was kicked and he wanted to arrest my mum. I was frightened and pushed him away. However, he was strong enough and quickly pulled my mum out of the door. I was helpless and faint since I could not accept what had happened around me. When I woke up, I saw my uncle and he said he will be the one who support me in the future. 

    "Tick Tak, Tick Tak". the clock sounds. "Phew...finally I finish my work. I hope my boss will never ask me to revise again tomorrow. I said. I stroll along the road while I went back home and sing songs. Out of the blue, two mysterious people chase me and ask me to stop. "Oops..it seems like they have detected me who sings the song! They will arrest me since my country would not accept people to have music." I think. I quickly ran to a dustbin and hide. "Haizz....let him go again! I will arrest him next time! one of the mysterious people said and kick the dustbin.

    "Yes! They could not find me so should get scolded by their boss..hehe! I said. "Ring...ring" a phone rang from somewhere else. "Not my phone? Eiiii...I think it is from the dustbin." I said. I quickly pick up the phone and it seems like the phone was in the old version which I never met before. 

    "Hi? Who's are on the phone?" I pick up the call. "Hi, I am Bili. I think you need my help right now!" Bili said. "No...I am not." I said. "Don't move, the person in front of us!" the mysterious people appear. "Are you finding me for money? I am not rich people, you find the wrong person!"I said. 

    "No! I can help you now as I know where your mum was."Bili said. "You know my mum?" I ask. "I accept you to help me now then!" I said. "Sure, see you soon!" Bili said. "My name is Siti, nice to meet you!" Siti said. "My name is Ahmad, why would we be here?" Ahmad said and walk backward at the same time.

    "Ouch! Why did you hit me? I said. "Sorry, I didn't mean to," Ahmad said. "Why we are here? Eii...why everywhere are full of color？ It is different from my real world! Who are you?" I said.

    "Not sure yet. But maybe we can just see what's next? I am Siti and he is Ahmad. What's your name?" Siti said. "Ermmm okay...my name is John." I said. 

    "Hi, all! I am Bili. Welcome to my world!" Bili said. 

    "You are the one who calls me before I am here!" I said. "How can we go back to our original world?" Ahmad asks. "Don't worry! There are some games provided for you all to challenge it." Bili said. "Harr...can I go back to my world?" Ahmad said. "The game is beginning, please enjoy!" Bili said. 

    Suddenly, there are a group of soldiers appeared and arrest them.

    "Go....you better follow my order! I will bring you to the queen there!" soldiers said. "Weii....please be gentle. It's hurting me! "Siti said. "What's going on? Who are you?" I ask. "Welcome to my kingdom! My name is Lisa. Why you all are here?" the queen, Lisa said. "We don't know why we are here but have you know my mum?" I ask. 

    "Your mum? I heard your name just now. Are you called John? Is your mum called Celine?" the queen asks. "Yes, I wanted to find her! I miss her!" I said. "She is a kind and brave woman, I hope you can meet her after this too." the queen said. "So, is the game started?" Siti asked. 

    "Yes! You all need to arrange the puzzle back to normal by answering the questions below." the queen said. "Come on...faster a bit!" Ahmad said. "Is nasi lemak a Malaysian favorite food? Where it comes from?" the queen asks. 

    "It was a Malay dish. Yes, I like to eat as well! Ahmad said. "Correct! Next question, what is the festival that Indian celebrated always?" the queen asks.

    "It is Hari Deepavali!" My mum like to prepare a lot of food for us to eat!" Siti said. "Correct!" the queen said. "Yes!" I said. "Last but not least, What people will do during Chinese New Year?" the queen ask. "Visit people and receive red packets!" I said. Congratulations! You all have passed this section! Hope you all enjoy the next session. Thank you! Bye!" the queen said happily.

    The queen walked away. "Phew, that's so easy!" Ahmad said. "How do we enter the next session?" I ask. 

    Suddenly, there is a strange sound appears.

    "Seems like a group of monsters surrounding us." Are the games continued?" Siti asked. "I think so?" Ahmad said. 

    "Why they are surrounding us? Is there anything that can chase them away? I asked. "I saw there is a stick of flare at the ground. It seems like can use it to light up the surrounding area." Ahmad said.

   "Okay, I help you all to light up then! Wait for me!" Siti said. In a moment, we can see the appearance of the surrounding. "It seems like they are afraid of fire," I said. 

   "Yes, I remember my grandma share me that lights can drive evil away," Ahmad said. "If in this case, Siti you go to the left side and I go to the right side to light up all," I said. "The monster went off already Yay! Siti said. 

    When we can see the whole environment, an old man walked towards us suddenly and thanked us for helping them. He said that they should light up the surroundings every day but today they forget to do it and luckily they are safe since we have helped them to protect their village. 

    "I would like to invite you all to visit my village and have lunch together." the old man said. "Harr...is it possible that we can enter the new game as I wish to go back to my world soon?" Ahmad said. "Any delicious food to eat?" Bili asks.

    "Why do you come and go so suddenly? We need you just now!" I ask.  "Aiya..we are available now. So, let's go get some delicious food!" Bili said. 

    "Wahh...there is a lot of delicious food that I have not tried before," Siti said. "This is laksa, nasi lemak, and bak kut teh." the old man introduced the food on the table. "We start to eat together then!" Bili said.

    On the next day, they found themselves in a martial club. "Wahhh, this place looks so cool," Siti said. "Come on...what's the next game?" Ahmad asks. "Hi all, there is no one come in before for a long time." mysterious people said. 

    "Who are you?" I ask. "I am the in-charge person for this club. My name is Kelvin. I need you all to help me find my necklace, which is important in my life." Kelvin said. 

    "Baiklah! We will help you find." Ahmad said. "How's your necklace look like?" I ask. "Is like a key shape." Kelvin response. "Hmmm...I have a necklace here, is it this? My mum gave me this before she disappear." I said. 

    "Yes! How could you find it? I have asked many people but they could not find it. Congratulations! You all have passed all the challenges!" Kelvin said. "Do you know my mum?" I ask. "No but I think she came here before and I think she was the only one who have successfully finished the whole trip! And now it's your turn," Kelvin said. 

    "It means that we can go back to the normal world?" Ahmad ask. "Yes!" Bili said. "Hi Bili, are you sending back us to the normal world?" Siti said. "Ya! Let's enter the door and back to the normal world!" Bili said. "Bye!" I said. 

    When I wake up, everything seems different. I can sing songs and dance. The world becomes more lively and all are colorful. I slowly write my diary to record the experience in my dream. It's an interesting game that I play with Siti and Ahmad. It seems all are real!

W4: In an alternate universe

    I wonder if one day could I create an alternate universe. It is an opportunity to let me create a world that is based on a dream that I had. Firstly, I will choose my biome and the type of society which I wish to have or just me in it. I can then choose where I want to spend most of my time. After I have been in the universe that was created, I can have certain abilities like changing laws of physics, maybe I can create a new character or I can just flying around. 

    Not only that, I would start to memorize every surrounding thing in my world. I might forget some parts of it but I can always add more things. I am thinking of my characters would be extremely smart and beautiful. In the universe, I can also create fictional animals which can be whatever I want. As I get further into my universe, I will most likely want to have more space to roam around, so I can create new biomes whenever I am ready to have more space. 

    I wanted to think about how detailed I wanted my characters to be. I was hard about this because it will be easier to imagine them in one outfit only. My world will soon be very big that I would not keep track of all the characters and their possible abilities. I would like to jot down the characters that I created to share with other people as well. 

    All my characters can talk, even if they are animals and I want them to. I would make sure to make a greater voice for every character. Besides, I want my universe to be more challenging so I will give my characters flaws. Flaws can either ruin my storyline or make it better. I can make them have as many flaws as I want. After I have done all this, I will have a wonderful world with everything that I could want in it. 

    I always tell myself not to get too caught up in the alternate universe. Staying in the universe all the time will make me happier, but it also has a downside. If I spend too much time in the alternate universe, I am very likely to not like my ordinary life. I hope I have lots of fun with my alternate universe and have the best day I have ever had.

W3: My love/hate for…

    What is love? I think love is not only limited to a relationship but also to what you are doing. I love what I have been doing since secondary although I have recognized that I cannot do well in the things I have interested in. Since when do I love planning events? I think since the words banned me I could not plan well for every event by my senior. 

    I love planning events although each event is entirely different and needs much more information to make it well. Also, the budget that the people have to develop for the event counts more on the creativity of the events. I have worked in the events industry for five years. Undeniably, I have known how it would be my social life as will be hard to be yourself sometimes since is a service industry.

    However, I still love what I am doing right now. Hence, understanding the purpose of every event is the first step that every event planner needs to take to plan an event and also keep in mind the event’s objectives. One of the most common mistakes that some of the event planners make is being innovative just for the sake of doing it and forgetting why they are organizing the respective event. To make my event special, I will create a fascinating journey for the attendees. For example, I will think of personalized gifts related to the theme and objectives and surprise them at the entrance.

    Next, I will try to note down the basic and most important information about the event such as the date and time. Before deciding the date of the event, I will carefully check the calendar and make sure that the upcoming event isn’t competing with other event. Not only that, people are also very important which is used to determine the total number of people who will be present in the room and also the person who will be involved in the project. For example, waiters, ushers, and photographers. Some of the special events will invite the press, so I will need to count on the number of journalists and influencers who will attend your event.  

    Last but not least, it is important to feel comfortable at work when you want to be creative and try to get out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, I will feel stuck and you do not have any ideas to plan a creative event, so I will go out for a walk and try to discuss with my team for brainstorming ideas for my next event. Hence, I love what I do right now and I appreciate the help from others at the most wonderful moment. I hope that my love for events will still increase.

W2: When I dream…

    When I dream of having a place full of happiness and people would help each other, I will be so happy to have this kind of world. This is because the world that I lived in now is full of arguments and is hard to be yourself when seems like only strong people can survive on this planet. No matter how you take the initiative to do something, someone will always block your way to achieving your target.

    Previously, I have always imagined myself to be a person who can positively influence others in my society and also explore the culture of another world by interacting with other people. Hence, who in this world does not have a dream? A dream to buy a car, a dream to go back to the moments which might change their life or a dream where people can control their time. 

    However, I wanted to live in a place where full of colorful flowers and surrounded by different types of animals like sheep, rabbits and so on. There are also dark jagged mountains where I could see the sun rising in brilliant colors through the trees outside of my town. The sky lit up in shades of red, orange and yellow. As the birds flew through the sky passing through the rays of light, their flapping wings were quick to catch the attention of the residents there. I think I could not bring myself to leave that spot.

    The people there were nice because they help each other and even have a superhero like me to protect our town to be attacked by another country. I have the power of flying around and saving everyone once people are in danger as I can also reach the places not in minutes but in seconds. Therefore, I can help people when they need me and not need to care what others' comments are. 

W1: Who am I?

    Who am I? I am invisible and have no beginning or end. However, I play an essential role and bring an enormous impact on people's life. Some people like to use me to do something that they are interested in such as planting, jogging and so on but some just waste me up or even misuse me. I felt disappointed when people not using me wisely since everyone was getting me equally in their life. 

    As people grow up, they usually will be busy using me to complete their workload and even not enough to have me. Hence, I am valuable and can reflect the priorities of people sometimes. For instance, people will value me to see which activities they would like to do first and more crucial. They can even learn from their mistake if they did the wrong options to help them become more efficient in the future. 

    Besides, people will utilize me to go through a hard situation. For instance, problems that people met will need me to go through and solve them. They even will record me to remind their deadlines and work on the task to achieve goals in their life. I can let people become more productive if people had controlled nicely me every day. 

    I am very precious and cannot reverse but some people do not appreciate me since life is short. People tend to waste me on unhealthy activities such as gambling, smoking and so on. I felt not being respected by them as they do not spend wisely on me and kept on procrastinating their responsibility. In the end, people will regret wasting me and not cherish the moment with their loved ones. 

    Family members such as grandparents will get older and older. Then, young people who do not visit them frequently will feel sad as they did not spend much more on me to accompany them once they were not in this world anymore. Hence, I will follow people to learn from the experience and grow better in the future. 

    So, do you know who am I? I am time. I am the one who accompanies people to have a better version of themselves. Not only that, I could also let people pass their hard times to cure their 'wounds' and will feel better one day. Therefore, I hope people can appreciate me as there are not too many chances to do meaningful things in their life. Cherish every moment when you are still alive.
