Mantra

I search to be completely human; to feel, to give, to talk, to laugh, to get lost, to be found, to dance, to love; to just be so human

Recipe for creation:

I wondered through the internet to find a nice Balinese salad recipe (I am heading over to Bali soon), I stumbled across a salad called the 'seasonal salad', and instantly I fell in love with the name, so creatively simple. The name justifies for the salad and the best thing about this is that you can put every edible vegetable you want into a bowl. And that was the recipe.  It's super healthy and just what I need for my summer body diet.

I tweaked the recipe a little and made an Asian dressing to go with the theme. Here is my version for the seasonal salad called 'Summa's Seasonal Salad'

Ingredients

Green cabbage

Tomato

Radish

Carrot

Lebanese cucumber

Bean sprout (ready to eat)

Potato (boiled)

Egg (boiled)

Prawns (optional)

Coriander (for garnish)

Dressing

Lime

Fish sauce

Soy sauce

Palm sugar

1 hot chilli

1 garlic

Method:

Chop or cut up the vegetable they way you want it. Put it into a bowl. Mix it all together. Pour the dressing over it.

Dreaming of summertime and watching the sunset by the ocean

We are not in high school anymore!

High school is one of the greatest milestone of our teen life. We experience what life is fully made of; to make decisions that resulted in serious consequences, to take risks, to explore our boundaries, to find our weaknesses and strengths, to fall in love, to lie and keep secrets, and to find ourselves in the midst of it all. But most of all, in high school, we make life long friends... or do we?

Its been four years since I finished high school, I can honestly say that I have definitely made a few life long friends, some I even met from primary school. The purpose of this post is look into a bigger picture of letting go and moving on, and  I'll be using my high school group or 'possie' as a metaphor.

Having a big group of friends is awesome, you look fearful and the sense of belonging is something not many get. To keep the group alive, there would be on the regular occasion a group get together. The first year or two was really good and fun, the momentum of catching up and seeing everyone again was ecstatic. But four year later and the spirit is kind of gone, and I think that it's totally fine. We are now young adults, we have a different pathway and they may not meet. We enjoy activities others may disagree with. We have individual beliefs values that we live by and others find difficult to understand. We are not in high school anymore, we are grown up and have our own life journey. When we have these catch ups, the group seems divided and the vibe is just uncomfortably awkward, this is due to past beefs, fragile friendships,  personality clashes and ultimately a different way of life.

Personally, I think moving on and leaving behind a stage of our life is fine. Acknowledging and being thankful for the inevitable is all that can be done now. It's not forgetting because that is impossible, its about accepting that sometimes things wont always be the same. Time  changes people and we just have to deal with it, just like the transition after high school.

Let it be... Ever get bother by what someone does, what they say and how they treat you? And you just bottle it all up because you just don't want to cause any conflicts? The only way I can deal with this is to just let it be and to let it go. If someone really cares, if that person really knows you they will know how to treat you, if they low how to treat you, they will treat you right. I guess it's just a matter of how to respond to the situation. Being a sensitive person, my feelings get hurt easily and I am always self aware. That is me. I don't expect everyone to be like me, and if everyone was like me, this world would be full of sookie la las. I find pleasure in writing and having a vent. It's my way of processing my annoyance with certain people and events that affect me. Best advice to myself, whatever happens happens. Just let it be. You yourself be the person to decide how you will let it affect you.

And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.

Lonesome Traveler (Jack Kerouac)

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It’s so plain and so obvious and so simple. Yet everyone is in panic searching for the meaning of life.

I feel alive when I look in to the sky and see the clouds formation. It’s different everyday therefore I’m astonished and lively everyday.

I feel alive when I watch the sunset. The sight of a ever changing bright eccentric sky will never bore me. I’m in such an awe moment, so breath taken and at the same time, a reminder of being human mix with a feelings and emotions.

I feel alive when I’m in twine with nature, whether it’s the ocean, forest or just a local park, the sound of the wind and birds tweeting makes my heart and soul feel more alive than ever. The connection is nostalgic.

Single Fin and  Badang Badand Beach - Uluwatu

We came here with no plans aside from accommodation and notknowing much about the landscape/landmark of Bali. Using instagram as a guide to see the pretty places, we get a taxi (he ripped us off $20 for a 10 mins ride) to Single Fin and the surroundings. We were greeted by the locals with many endless smiles, some spoke to us wanting to know what nationality we were and overall they were just such beautiful and genuine people. We basically spent our whole day around Single Fin, enjoying the ocean view and surfers catching big waves around the cliff. We than headed to Badung Badung beach, which was a calmer beach/ocean with many market stalls full of beautiful and vibrant coloured materials.
