He is a cat, and his name is Fred.

I know the title sounds weird, but I just can't get my head off the cute fluffy cat named Fred after watching 'Gifted'. It was such a good movie, I bawled.
And, not to mention, I've stumbled upon an amazing song by 'Crooked Still' name 'Pretty Bird', it was in the movie, and it was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
I don't really know the genre of their music, but I love it.
(I'm listening to their album right now as I'm writing this blog post)
I can't describe what I'm feeling now, but their music makes me happy :)
That's the best I could do to describe them. A little countryish and I don't know haha.

Anyway, recently I've watched two amazing movies.
One, 'The Shack'
Two, 'Gifted' (well, obviously I started my blog talking about it)
And both starred Octavia Spencer.
She is amazing and I love both of the characters she played.
All I can say is, she has this very cosy, safe, warm and comfortable vibe.

Well, actually I don't have a purpose in writing this blog post.
I just feel like writing because it's been a long time since I did.
And writing feels so good.
Especially doing it while listening to good music.

I do have a few thoughts recently.
Pondering and daydreaming away as always.
Thinking about life questions when I'm looking at nothingness.
(sounds so philosophical, it annoys me) *laughs*
Sometimes I can be such an idiot, but oh well, I love me.

Hmmm...so where should I start?

I love watching movies, listening to music, and reading books.
I think this started since I was very young.
My very first encounter with a cinema was 'Mulan' and 'Spiderman', both were precious to me because I went to watch it with my family. The 'Spiderman' movie was especially unforgettable because I remember we bought the 11 pm tickets and it was a school holiday, so my cousins and I were so excited for it. But we were forced to sleep after dinner so that we won't feel tired watching a midnight movie.
I didn't sleep, I loved it, but I think my cousins did...and my dad. Ha!
It was awesome.

And about music.
I loved music from...I don't know when.
A few things I remember about music when I was a child is when I sit in my dad's car and he introduced to me 'Queen'. Yes. He introduced 'Queen' to me!
I especially loved 'Bicycle', it was fun and on repeat every single time I sit in his car.
And then I remember in the mornings when my mom prepared me for school.
She will always turn on music cds, and I will sing along in front of the tv when my mom ties my hair for school. Sometimes 'Cats', or 'Aqua' or 'Teresa Teng'.
Think back, what a wonderful morning it is to start my day with
"My heart goes Sha la la la la...Sha la la in the morning" (cute!)
And then I started to discover music through watching anime, movie scores, dance music, listening to my friends or cousins music, Youtube, Spotify.
It's just a hobby of mine. I love to intentionally make myself stumble upon amazing music.

Books.
Books were personal.
From a young age, car rides were filled with Goldilocks and the Three Bears or Red Riding Hood audio books. Then those Peter & Jane and Enid Blyton books.
Here and there. I just love losing myself in a world where I made friends with characters that I love and going through their life with them. (I was an only child, so making friends through reading was actually awesome! Not so lonely. Ha!)

As I grow up, I almost lost these hobbies.
There's peer pressure, social media distraction, low self-esteem, trying to fit in etc.
Swayed by caring about what people think about me, especially the preference for music & movies of others. Taking sides or liking what others like just to please them or make them happy. (weird, I know)
I don't understand myself, and I still don't, not even going to try.
I'll let myself be my own mystery.

One thing I've learned. Growing up isn't easy, it's challenging.
But it's okay.
I've learned that it's not about being right or wrong, it's about the adventure during the process.
Yes. I have a lot of ups and downs and I'm not even going to try to figure them out.

Once, God split the Red Sea and the Israelites walked through it.
And then came Jesus who walks on the water.
And me? I'll surf the waves and make it fun!
Ha!

Okay. I think I wrote everything I wanted to say.
Nobody might be reading, or maybe there will be a few.
Hi! Now Bye! See ya next time!
Love ya!
