Summatun - SmaTn

Set up camp on the front step of each moment and always say ‘yes’ to the present moment.

I’ve met and crossed paths with many inspirational people, i have also stayed friends with few of my high school friends, all these people will forever be my long-life friends. As we age and mature, I’ve learnt to grow gracefully and gratefully alongside people you can laugh with. 

Over the long weekend, we set up camp on the front step of a river bank, each moment along the rive with these people were a memorable one. Friends who bring out the best in you should be cherished, nothing in this world is more perfect than surrounding yourself with people you are able to be yourself with and together love to watch the world go by. Being unconscious of the terrible situations that are happening around us and the world. The horrible human acts are closed off from exposure and for a short time, the escape into the wilderness escorted by good people is indispensable.  

Moral of this story; take a walk away from the busy life into the nurturing space of mother natures arms. Enjoy the disagreements, laughter, tears, stories and connections that come when you share a long history with the close friends. Be grateful for all that was, all that is, and all that is to come. 

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.

Bali Retreat

Bali has never really been a location I've wanted to see. I've been to Thailand and assumed that Bali would be similar; hot, packed, dirty, beggars, annoying street markets and people ripping you off. But wow was I shocked!  And yes to an extent Bali was similar to Thailand in relations to the weather, shops and street markers. Early January was my first trip to Bali, during this time of year is their wet season (but still hot as hell). It was a trip more focused on exploring Bali, relaxing and pampering rather than the party destination scene (which most people assume Bali is), but I did go to a few bars and enjoyed a few bevys... or two.  

This post is more a reflection in combination with some recommendations for many beautiful places I stumbled across while in Bali.

We landed Saturday midnight at Denpasar airport. The minute you walk out of the plane, the heat and humidity hits you in the face. This time of year is the wet season and because it’s such a hot country, the rain makes it dry and sticky.

Soul mate

“Nawww.. Summa, you are the best girl I ve met over my past 24 years. I have never had this kind of relationship b4. The only closest woman in my life ever was my mum. Now you are the second person.

And take me as a your fellow study partner, we ll get through this hardship together and believe in your heart that we will have a really strong unbreakable bond.

Also I am sincerely sorry for the relationship mishaps between you and your older sisters. They dearly love you a lot and it is one of my biggest no go zone to get in between family relationships. Please know that I can not change anything regarding my race, culture and traditions. Stay hopeful and keep the faith my beautiful girl.

The country of my people

It’s almost always worth getting up early. #myanmar on Flickr.

One day I wish to have something like this

Food:

Under Single Fin (forgot the name of restaurant) Our first Balinese meal was to die for. I am so obsessed with Nasi Goreng and getting to eat it authentically is what I’ve always imagined to do. In this aspect, authenticity is what we all should do and aim for; imitations aren’t always 100% right on the spot and won’t satisfy.

Although restaurants may serve food to our standard, myself personally feel in love with the street food and little fast food restaurants along the side of the road. For about $1.50-$2, you can get delicious fried rice, noodles and vegetables that will melt in your mouth. Some may feel uncomfortable with street food but let me tell you, I am still alive and didn't get sick once from street food.

The story of us:

I’ve been single for over two years now and I haven’t been fussed about getting into a relationship at all. People constantly ask why I am still single, there is not answer just simply because I wasn’t bothered by the fact that I was single, I am happy and I don’t need someone to make me happy because really only I can make myself happy. 

Recently someone i vaguely knew as a child walked into my life, it was very un-expecting and I had no intentions on getting into a relationship. He fooled me as it was Aprils fool, I instantly found myself smiling at the situation because it was so funny. He made me laugh without even knowing even when I was rejected as it was a joke. This moment was the beginning on a journey I didn’t plan.

I obviously had expectations to the person I would want to make a life with, hence why I’ve been single and haven’t let a soul into my life. I’ve always wanted someone who I could openly be myself with, someone who knew my whole life journey, someone who understood my beliefs and values without judgements, someone who had a gentle soul but with strong moralities, someone my family would love, someone not only attractive on the outside but also on the inside. But most of all, I wanted someone who I could potentially spend the rest of my life with. This is why it makes it hard for me because how do you know its the right one? Does the right one even exist?  

I can honestly admit that I’ve never felt love. What is even love? Love really has no meaning because to me love is everything. I wonder where this journey will take us... perhaps I might find the love of my life?
