im gonna tell you a secret today. and girls out there, please, keep one if you find any!
1. you girls will have better idea of who they are versus who the could become. man in his 30s are already molded into the person they should.
2. men in his 30s had their hearts broken over and over. and because of that, they are less inclined to take love for granted
3. they are most likely concern about being honest rather than tryna look cool all the time.
4. they no longer see that by being single isnt the best thing in the world. nope.
5. flirting publicly with girls over social media changes from "normal things" to "embarrassing problems"
6. and their idea of "toxic" masculinity slows down. their life journey had them understand that real strength isnt impenetrable walls of stubborn ego nor being humiliating arrogant. at this point, their desire to be valued, to embody responsibility, straightfowardness replaces the need to be macho.
7. men in his 30s and their taste in people significantly deepens. they are more interested with the women they want to spend as much time and each day with, not every few weeks or one night.
8. they shift their focus from wanting to be the guy who has the most fun to the guy who have it all. they will come to understand that reading books, dress well, knows how to cook dinner and how to ask someone out properly on a date is not lame and uncool rather than the cornerstones of a well rounded considerate functioning individuals
9. men in his 30s will take relationship more seriously and as a by product. they would treat people in them with more respect.
10. most of the guys already spent few years developing themselves in their careers. and because of that, the experience teach them to be humble, and make them knowledgeable in their field or skills.
11. by now, they are capable enough of basic functioning. cook meals, keeping their apartment organized. manage themselves well.
12. also, they tend to realize that being with someone is better than being right all the time. and they've grown to know that the two cannot usually coexist. and a lot of love are lost to the latter.
13. obviously, they are not afraid to care, and they learn how to shove feelings away under thinly veiled layer of anger and dismissiveness inside of them. in fact, now they learn that its better to deal with it, and to be honest.
BONUS.
why dating guys in his 30 is a game changer that every girls need.

the return of the prodigal son.
i went back to hometown last week. my lil bro getting engaged. given the circumstances that i have been thru for the past weeks, yeah why not balik. take my mind off for sometimes. seems like almost everyone is there when i arrived. the first question that pops out from their mouth is
"eh balik sorang? patutnya bawa la balik gf, kata mak kamu, kamu dah ada gf bla bla bla bla"
i can only smile. sedaya upaya control supaya tak tunjuk muka garang/panas/nak makan orang yg entah tak boleh dah kot nak ubah. terus masuk bilik. mood mmg dah out. penat lagi. malam sebelom balik tu kena sekolah dgn gm pj sbb behavior last week.
i have been skipping major meeting 3 hari in a row. masuk court HR sbb i filed a report against my colleague yg asik cuti isnin for at least 2 years. im mending my broken heart at the same time so everything was so messed up to one point it explodes and there was this clusterfucks everywhere all around me.
to summarize, work sucks. and i didnt behave like i should
i cant think straight. my judgement were clouded. even strangers dekat petrol pump pun suruh aku senyum a bit. toksah cakap kak nana dgn eda lah. diorang paling perasan. bos kenapa? masam je. bos okay tak, bla bla bla. i know they are trying to cheer me up. but all i need right now is sometime off. for myself.
and sambung balik cerita tunang tadi, so petang tu pegilah ke rumah tunang adik. sebelah taman je. kinda reminds me of ... never mind. i left the ring kat seine river in 2013. jambatan tu pon dah roboh. hahaha. belajar la juga sikit2 camne nak handle tunang n adat all of these stuffs. koyak, tapi layankan je.
and malam tu lepak dgn wan n epi. kebetulan wan pun balik dari kuching, epi mmg ada kat bp. bila dengar kawan2 struggle dgn life and compare balik dgn what im going thru right now. timbul la juga sedikit kesedaran. what im going thru now isnt nothing compared to them. epi struggle cari kerja. almost 3 bulan dah menganggur. wan minta pindah dari kuching ke putrajaya tapi wisma tolak everytime. we talked about stuffs. things, life. time heals.
i dont know when will be the next time i'll be home again. maybe raya. we'll see

10 years. 10 years!
i started this blog 10 years ago. haha kalau ada anak, dah darjah 4 kot. and i dont think masih lagi ada kawan-kawan yg masih menulis up until today. so..i think about time to reintroduce..i mean, rebrand/recap whatever yg i think i should.
so. here we go.
im 30 y/o this year. i am pretty much burnout from life. it has been hitting down on me back and forth, and it feels like a reminder - everything im having now, its just a loan. and i learn it the hard way, happiness doesnt last. i worked in one of malaysia isp for at least 7 years (april 2010) and work my hard ass off since day 1, and here i am now.
i am man of many things, some were things that i didnt even proud of. but deep down, i keep battling my demons down, always on constant fighting with my inner conscience, doing whats wrong for the right reasons, and vice versa. it doesnt end well tho..everytime. to the point where u didnt keep any for urself in the end.
i am currently the head of my family since my father working overseas. and because of this reason alone, i feel like im carrying the whole mountain behind my back, ignore my own needs and wants, kept myself shut for a very very long time and i could explode anytime soon. there a lot of things in my mind.
i tried the marriage road once. it didnt turn out like how its supposed to be. i've chased her half across the world for 4 goddamn years and yet, it feels like i havent done anything. it took me half a year recover. u dont know what does it feel like watching all of ur buddies gettin married one by one, leaving u alone tryna figure out what to do with leftover u.
then, round 2. i chase another girl half across the world (again???) she left me when decide to pursue her master degree in Scotland, edinburgh. and i dont know, within a year she manage to convince me to do this one more time for the sake of it (we kinda promise when she get back in 2 years time, and if either of us isnt married yet, we gonna go for it) and then things went sour again. i got caught up with work, the timezones are really being hard on us, shes being urgh, i just cant. shes perfect, just..
it just doesnt seems to work, the distance, the time, work..
i tried to make things right. i tried to arrange things last december, my last attempt on saving whatever left of it, but then..she didnt came. i dont know what i did, she left me hanging without answers. all i know, she change her ticket to new zealand, and i was left alone in italy finding out answers by myself. right there, i promised myself that i would never want to fall in love or have someone for the rest of 2017, and only want to focus things on myself.
theres no more i could offer. i have tone down my ego. i even lowered my ego to the level it kills me inside. doesnt make me feel half a man i am. i was begging for answers, and how could you do that to me. (ok worry not im done weeping for her)
still, i am the same person i used to be before. i mean, the usual stuffs. i still loves video games, i love beaches. i love travelling. i love cooking. i cook sometimes. and i am currently slowly backing down from any esports activities beside attending event as a guess myself, tryna enjoy what other people enjoying.
things that happened last march (update);
-cuti kena freeze. because of my behavior for the last 2 week.
-i failed one exam, assessment due to...i dont wanna talk about it
-anne left me (i dont know, she left me hanging for whatever reason i am not aware of, i did apologize, but still..)
-bro got engaged (hellish weekend for me since everyone is asking what happened between me and anne)
-was being told to keep my shit together dgn big boss.
-i think im gonna get another tonsillitis case, throat has been acting up
-my life is upside down and im at the edge of losing my sanity because of it
-got selected to represent PJ is this coming fit tm in kelantan
-my application to noc cbjy got rejected again.
-blah blah blah.
-now tgh bela this one guy kat rumah yg dah dismiss dari college and im tryna to figure things out (tak sure nak halau ke apa)
-visa to balkan countries is almost done/approved. now nak kena farm duit belanja ke sana (no im not gonna chase another girl half across the world again)
so, i think im gonna hit the bed. i am so tired. beaten to a pulp. see you guys in the next post!
ja!
