Loose one and you might lose your appetite for life

Last weekend was crazy fun…. It didn’t start well and I almost didn’t go….bak kata orang tua-tua, ekot rasa, binasa.

Anyway, I sucked it up and go anyway…and truly had fun. I push aside everything and I mean everything and just live for the moment.

Spend a night at my sister’s place. She has 3 kittens who is crazily adorable….you will just fall in love with them straight away. Instantly I realized how easy it is to fall in love with god’s creation, big or small.

Then we drove to our destination. Arriving at their place around 1 plus, ate some Sup Kambing. It was scrumptious! They say meat does not melt but this one is close to melting in your mouth. It is super tender and it is cleaned superbly thus all the deliciousness of a goat’s meat flavors the soup without that Kambing Smell! Embekkkkkk

Too bad it so late at night, and I was super conscious about eating that heavy at such hour….ended up only eating one small bowl…when the truth is I can easily consume 3 big bowls.. :P

So we stayed up till subuh..preparing things for the majlis…it was fun, tiring but fun…they went out and get some roti canai (YUP!) and I find myself having a piece of roti canai at 4 am! Haha…so much of my consciousness eh…

The majlis went well…we were all extremely sleepy, midway of the majlis, most of us escape to our dreamland for a brief second….then my sweethearts from the north came and they insist on me joining them to the island… I was torn between two places…I can easily leave and join them but it wouldn’t be that nice cuz I am there for the majlis and not for a holiday….but hehe…after getting the green light from the organizer, I went to the island with my sweethearts and boy I had so much fun, I am still smiling till this very second. What they say is true, the best things in life are free….minus the money paid for transportation n food and accommodation that is..  :P

Went snorkeling and swimming and jet skiing…hang out and talk about everything there is on the surface of the earth…ate IceCream Magnum at 1 am…share a cup of Maggi Mee…the closing was perfect…I was thrown off the jet-ski….for a brief second, I was nervous…but then I quickly resurface and keep myself floating while laughing my head off….it was hard to get back on the jet ski cuz I was laughing so hard….

One thing I realized is that, it doesn’t matter where you are going and what you are doing…not so much as it matters in who are you with…I’ve been friends with this great people for almost 2 years now and nothing can compare the kindness they have to offer. They don’t treat me like a princess. They treat me as a human…as their sibling and that is the best thing a friend can give to us….we fight n argue but ‘air di cincang takkan putus’…

Looking forward for our next get-together-session!!

Transition

Sad…

Is it?

It is sad but I think that is part of life

Throughout your life, you will meet hundred if not thousands of people.

Some stay, some left

Some stay and you love it

Some stay and you are uncomfortable with it

Some left and you feel it is ok

Some left and you miss them all the time

But hey, why mourn over something that is gone?

Don’t make enemy, but you don’t have to keep everyone

Ever heard of the story about a girl who has a hundred close friends but in the end she has no one?

Simply said, our resources are limited

Our time and money and energy is limited

It is like the friendship is liquefied when you have too many close friends

You need to manage the time so you can be fair to all of them and to yourself not forgetting your family

So yup….I don’t think it is possible

This bring us to our topic;

Keep that matters and let go of the rest

Don’t make enemy but you don’t need one hundred close friends

Sometimes things happen and you and your best friend drift apart

It is ok….forgive and let it go

If in the future our path crosses again, smile and perhaps the long coffee chat can happen…again….and again…. :)

So if one day you and I drift apart, just remember, I do not hate you, I forgive you and hope you can forgive me too…why I stay away? Because at that moment of time, I am not comfortable to be around you…should we try again in the future if our path crosses, maybe we should….maybe we should not….let time tell

Bajet Bagus

Was singing out loud to ‘Pocketful of sunshine’, by Natalie sumtin sumtin when a  thought crosses my mind.

Not so long ago I feel ‘offended’ when ‘friends’ especially married friends, somehow judge me for not being married (yet). They gave me a long boastful speech on how wonderful their life is, how perfect they feel when they have their babies, what an amazing support their husband is and bla bla bla… they talk like I am single by choice and it is me who refuse commitment and I want to stay single forever (and ever)…

I remember feeling hurt and wanting to tell them, please, don’t be too proud with what you have, it is all fate and life is not forever. In a blink of an eye, that could all go away (and in a blink of an eye as well, I could have it all, or even better)…

I was bitter inside and I hated that….

Anyway, what brings back this memory is that, I am now feeling on top of the world and when friends said they would very much want that feeling as well, I would start to say, ‘just believe in fate…Insya Allah’.

Wow….when I heard myself saying that, I get scared and even concerned.

I am scared that I will be like that in the future. Judging others and start to feel like I am better than them.

It is so hard to keep your feet on the ground when you are bouncing up n down giddily…

It is so hard not to seem like to be above everyone else when you are floating so happily….

Ohhh..smoga kita semua terpelihara dari celaan manusia dan paling utama celaan-Nya…..

Hidup ini bagaikan mencari gula dalam bekas garam

Love this!

Hidup ini bagaikan mencari gula dalam bekas garam

Gula manis

Garam masin

Gula dan garam keduanya putih dan hampir serupa fizikalnya

Nak cari gula dalam bekas garam?

Kurang waras kali nak?

Haha…

Life…

When I was younger (much younger), my mission in life is to be happy…I was so desperately looking for happiness till I was unhappy.

Smiling is the easiest thing for me but deep inside, I wasn’t smiling as widely as I am on the outside …

Luckily I finally realized that, it is not happiness that I must seek for….but rather ketenangan…calm

Orang yang tenang, bila dapat berita baik, dia bersyukur, dia dapat pahala.

Orang yang tenang, bila dapat berita kurang baik, dia bersabar, dia dapat pahala.

Insya Allah…. (I am quoting Prof Muhaya)

And now when I am smiling, I am happy….inside and outside…

I can’t remember who said this, but someone said that, always try to leave an imprint in life….start with something simple, e.g, “make it a mission to be someone who smile a lot till the first thing people remember about you is your smile”…

I am definitely targeting that…I want to be remembered as someone who loves to smile (cuz I do and enjoyed doing it and it makes me feel warm inside)….

And I am practicing it at my workplace. People don’t know me that much. I am so bad at small chat and I don’t really hang out with them, but people will smile when they saw me cuz they know they will get one back! ;)

Not sure what is the point of my post today….but hey….. lets just smile and say, “wow….she really loves rambling…”

:P

p/s: thanks to you for sharing the phrase....
