Boredom and How to Navigate it.

Boredom is actually a very interesting state of mind. Instead of seeing it as a problem to be fixed, you can think of it as your brain’s way of saying it’s ready for a "reset" or a new challenge.

Depending on your energy level, here are a few ways to handle boredom, categorized by how you might be feeling:

1. If you have energy: Get Productive

• The "One-Drawer" Challenge: Pick just one drawer or a small corner of a room and organize it completely. It’s low-stakes but high-reward.

• Learn a Micro-Skill: Spend 20 minutes watching a tutorial on something specific, like a new keyboard shortcut, a card trick, or how to fold a shirt perfectly.

• Meal Prep a "Future Snack": Make something that takes a little effort now but will be delicious later, like overnight oats or a batch of cookies.

2. If you want to relax: Get Mindful

• Digital Declutter: Go through your phone and delete blurry photos or apps you haven't opened in six months. It feels surprisingly therapeutic.

• The "No-Device" Walk: Step outside for 10 minutes without your phone. Notice three things you’ve never seen before on your street.

• People-Watching or Cloud-Watching: Let your mind wander without trying to "solve" anything. This is where the best ideas often come from.

3. If you're feeling curious: Get Creative

• Write a "Letter to Future You": Use a site like FutureMe to send an email to yourself one year from today.

• Wikipedia Rabbit Hole: Start at a random page and see if you can get to "Philosophy" or "Space" in five clicks or less.

• Doodle or Brain-Dump: Grab a pen and just start drawing lines or writing down every single thought in your head until the page is full.

4. If you want to use Gemini

We can turn this boredom into something interactive:

• Play a Game: I can run a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story for you, or we can play a trivia game.

• Brainstorm a Project: Tell me a hobby you like, and I'll give you 10 "crazy" ideas for things you could make or do with it.

• Learn Something Random: Ask me, "Tell me something fascinating that most people don't know"

Boredom is not a problem to be solved, but a transition to be managed. In a world of constant digital overstimulation, we have lost the "art of doing nothing." Reclaiming boredom allows the mind to reset, process information, and ultimately discover what truly matters to us. Without boredom, there is no room for the curiosity that drives human progress.

"Boredom is the threshold to great things." — Paraphrased from Walter Benjamin

New Year, New Me.

 Assalamualaikum wbt dan selamat sejahtera semuanya pembaca yang dihormati sekalian,

    Apa khabar semunya? Terima kasih kerana masih setia membaca coretan saya yang semakin layu ni. Eh, bukan layu, cuma kekadang terlupa yang saya blog. Sebenarnya, saya terfikir tak nak menulis sebab kekadang tak tau nak tulis apa.

    Ada je beberapa unfinished stories juga yang ada tulis tapi kekadang stuck dekat some plot then lost. Adeh.

    Oh wait, saya dah lost weight sebenarnya! Hehe, tahun lepas berat saya 122kg now dan 114 kg, okay la kan? Daripada takde langsung. Now saya sedang giat bersenam untuk lagi hilangkan berat badan. Saya sekarang control makan jugak untuk mengelakkan consume makan dengan banyak. 

    Tadi ada makcik ni cakap, "Mal, awak turun berat badan ke?", WEH! Adakah ia berkesan? hahaha, mungkin, sebab ramai yang tegur bentuk badan saya berubah. 

    Tujuan sebenarnya saya kurangkan berat badan ni adalah.. hmm, nantilah kongsi sebab benda ni masih lagi belum ada kata putus, jadi, sejurus ada kata putus, saya akan kongsikan nanti ya. But, please doakan urusan saya dipermudahkan Allah SWT. 

Amin.

SUCH A DISSAPOINMENT!

 Assalamualaikum wbt,

Apa khabar semuanya? Lama sungguh tak mencoretkan pengalaman di atas lembaran kertas maya penuh dengan corak yang mengikut kehendak kita sendiri. 

Siapa pernah rasa kecewa?

Tipulah kalau semua takde langsung rasa kecewa dengan seseorang atau diri sendiri. Saya sering berasa kecewa dengan diri sendiri sebab when we see kejayaan orang lain, saya rasa dan fikir,

"Am I not good?"

"Am I not enough?"

"Am I not worth it?"

Selalu sangat dan masih ada dalam diri. I cannot run from it.

I can smile, but I cannot stop think about it.

I can smile, I can laugh, but the fact that I would keep coming back to this same thought is just ugh!

Orang boleh kecewa dengan bermacam jenis benda, bermacam jenis perkara, bermacam jenis manusia, but the most kecewa is when you are disappointed with yourself and the fact that you cannot take out the frustration makes it even worse.

Some choose to scream for relief, some choose to eat and some do sports, whatever the way you choose to do, just do it as long as you can relief yourself, U have done ur best FOR yourSELF!

Orang selalu cakap yang kalau stress you kena cari orang untuk bercakap. Cari orang untuk relief your tension, cari orang untuk get rid off the negative thinking. Who wants to listen to anyone's problem? No one.

Anyway, I am here just trying to make it. Trying to make it in this life so that I would not have any regrets when I die.

Assalamualaikum.
