12 June 2011

"Your mind is powerful. It can lead you to success or ultimate failure."
All i do here is sleep!
couldn't wake up in the morning for morning prayers. the time for morning prayers is 3.45am by the way.
and i slept till it was time for breakfast. went back to eat breakfast which was basically fruits cos i didnt feel like eating their rice and etc etc. went to find dad after that.
have i mentioned i went to visit their super duper big kitchen? its madness to prepare so much food! (practically in pails) their pots and pans are like 1000000X larger than what we have at home.
alright exaggeration.
but you get what i mean.
and after that it was
*SIGH* SLEEP AGAIN.
woke up in the afternoon for prayers before lunch. to commemorate the 8th death anniversary of their teachers, the one i saw many years ago, before he passed away. we ate lunch with the puny yoghurt spoon instead of the big spoon cos our spoons went missing ):
you probably can guess what i did after this.
(YES SLEEP)
dad says its cos of the atmosphere here and the air humidity difference and idk what. all i knw is i want to sleeeeep.
I THINK IM JUST LAZY LA OKAY.
made dinner after evening prayers. okay its actually just cup noodles ahahhahaa.
my lips are so dry but i forgot my lip balm. ):

we had a short meditation during the short evening prayers. and suddenly i felt refreshed. i wasn't so tired anymore. this feeling is something i haven't felt before, especially these 6 months. i realized that in life we seek many answers, and live for the future, neglecting the present. we worry about many things, and these things cause us to never be able to find peace from within. we can't feel happy. we have too much in our heads, too much worry when all we should really be worrying about is when we would stop breathing, because no matter how hard life is, the only time when it all really ends is when breathing ceases.

Deep down i started to realize that i wont be able to find my inner peace, not when my mind is filled with all the hurt, pain and questions.
i wont know what tomorrow brings, but i do know that the drama for the next few days in sri lanka would cease. im far from drama, and im glad at it.

reality is something that i cant hide away from forever, but if i believe, i know what happiness can do to the reality of mine.

time can heal certain sort of pain. if things can be forgotten, i learnt that you shouldn't let it haunt you back by recounting to others if you can't let go. All you will do is reopen wounds and deepen your hate.

the serenity gets into you. it got into me.

Huda's Birthday today! (:

"Go to anywhere with an open heart to accept. and do anything with an open mind to adapt."
and i am already in sri lanka at this time.
Sri lanka's time zone lags behind by 2½ hours.
The first thing we were greeted with was their duty free shop after clearing their customs.
THEY SELL HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AT THE ARRIVAL HALL.
i really mean household appliances, like refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, etc. and alot of tech stuffs.
TOTALLY UNLIKE ALL OTHER DFS i came about.
awesome right.
okay im joking.

have i mentioned that i got a free upgrade to business class cos economy class was full?
idk how it happened but yeah anw i gotta love emirates for that.
their service in biz class is (Y)

we reached at 2.15AM (S.L time)

oh and one thing i learnt there? dont change your money with government banks. the rates will all be fixed. the private banks can give you much better rates.
AND THEIR SERVICE IS REALLY SLOW.
its like they have all the time in the world.
Just changing the money and buying a sim card took 1½ hours.
MAD OR WHAT!
omg and the whole time all i wanted to do was sit on the bus so that i can sleep.
im serious.
eh but then again you can't blame me.
i mean, its 2.15 am (SGT 4.45am), way past my bed time.

their sun is glaringly bright.
you really squint when there is the sun saying hi to you.

and the ride can get pretty bumpy.
but people like me can just fall asleep when i want to sleep so to me, its nothing.
LOL!

honestly i like the life there. if i spoke their language, had no worries in the world, i might stay there even!

we stopped by their teahouse/cafe where they served milk tea where you get to add your own sugar. (if you let them add it yourself you would be drinking sugar) and i notice they love to use the spice marsala. (and no, i dont like that)
their bakery sells alot of things, and they dont store their loaves of bread properly. they leave it in the open. okay i dw think about the creepy crawlies on shelves.

and we continued our journey on the primary school but cute like anything bus.

I SAW A POLICE POST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
its damn crazy. like a small police post in the middle of a turnabout.
super cool! oh but bus move too fast for me to capture a shot ):

I SAW A RAILWAY TRAIN RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES.
yeah i know. i can see the same thing at bukit timah.
but this railway track i saw crossed roads. i mean, all cars had to stop for it to go. omggg hen cool leh i like!!!!!!

when we finally reached, we settled down and went to have breakfast. they eat those set yoghurt for every meal. its super fantastic. im so in love with yoghurt. after touring the meditation centre we went to help give out lunch. great experience. and omgosh they do this twice a day everyday.

OH AND THEY USE WOOD TO COOK.
because gas is really expensive up in the mountains.
Everything over at where i was is really basic, but you don't feel like you need anything else. It's like enough for you.
their food's spicy man, although it looked so harmless.
we continued walking around after lunch and went to join in a meditation group.

actually i didnt get the essence of meditation. i couldnt accept what i heard while i meditated. its as if i had a mind of my own and my mind didnt want to accept it because it was filled with a lot of other thoughts of my own.

Things will get better though, i'll find my answers.

Yijun's birthday today!
I don't remember if i lied to her alot.
okay i dont remember my lies.

but i know all of us pretended to 'FORGET' her birthday!
and she was really sad when none of us mentioned a thing.
till we went into CJ.
and she saw her cake.
OMG IMAGINE HER FACE.
and then we went to walk around after that cos we wanted to go to tanjong pagar for dinner.
with LY and ZY!
met them all at the MRT station.
she got shocked i think.
and then we took a bus down together and had dinner while waiting for joanne. tsk
joanne late again.
had those fruit tarty cake!
and then we went home tgther in circle line! :D

07 June 2011
Met yijun and zy for kungfu panda!

and i enjoyed it even though i didnt even watch part 1.
so its awesomely awesome (:

*btw i like the word awesome. thats why i use it incessantly. haha!

10 June 2011
Met girls at vivo for lunch!
reached abit late but still earlier than has to buy a cake.

and then went off to harbourfrontcentre tgther to wait for the other two
WHO WENT TO WATCH KF2 tgther again after 3 years?
HAHA
i wonder if they sat couple seat again seriously.
okay i shall stop joking.
i love the girls because despite how we seem so distant at times, we are all the same when we meet up. we just catch up with one another, and end up having 100% fun.

got onto my flight at night after being super busy the minute i got home.
oh the amount of sleep i get is really.
so enjoyable.
HAHA

Strength

Where do you find your strength?
When something really hard crashes into our world, where do we turn to?
some of the things we count on: our family, friends, people we love, things we love to do.
there are so many more.
But when something really really hurts you, you have to remember that they can make it all better, but its up to yourself to pick yourself up from the fall and continue walking forward.

Time.
It can't heal all the pain, but it can allow you to replace unhappy memories with happy ones. You've got to let go to accept the happiness that is waiting to enter your life.

i've fallen before. i've had my fair share of downs enough for me to wise up and mellow down. i've learnt to pick myself up. i've learnt to grow up. i've been through many phases in life for me to start telling stories and theories of my own.

It's not easy to pick yourself up after falling time and again. But one thing i know for sure, each time you stand up, you learn something. You do, whether you see it now or 10, 20 years down the road. It pieces up what kind of person you were, have become, and will be. They are your own stories to tell. You have the decision to make with regards to how great you want it to be or how sad you want it to be.

You dont have to be strong for anyone else if you can't even answer to yourself. We all have our moments, moments where we just want to crawl into a corner to be found, to be comforted and hugged, someone to tell us its all gonna be okay, someone who will continually tell you all these till you believe them, till you are convinced totally.

i can speak so much negativity in life that i've forgotten how to be happy again. i've heard so much negativity from myself and people around me that i've changed into someone who doesn't even know how to be happy.

Do you know what it's like to be happy?
Do you know what it's like to be able to smile and not be afraid of anything that would happen?
Have we left all these behind in the process of growing up or have we been too caught up in our chases for a better future that we forgot the importance of our present happiness?

I don't plan for a better future anymore, because my plans always diverge.

we all get tired. we all want to wait for people around us to pull us up, but they can't do this for us all the time. we've got to get strong on our own. we've got to explore the ends of each tunnel on our own at times. we've got to close ourselves up at times to learn to get strong and be a better person for us and those around us.

i've got to get stronger than i am now. that's the amount of strength i need.
june hasnt ended!
so i shall wait till june end then i blog about june hohoho!

but i want blog abt sri lanka trip first.
but im tired alrd!
so tomorrow! :D

relationships

on a blogging roll now.
A friend once asked me this question.
"Would you rather be with the one you love or would you rather be with the one who loves you?"
We all know this is based on our own perceptions. Yet, i believe that the way we love another also shows who we are.

How sure are we that if we started a relationship with someone who loves us (but we do not love them), we would learn to give as much as we received at the start of the relationship? Although many arguments arise about the ending, I always believe that people who continually receive would continue receiving, maybe to an extent that we will one day take everything given to us for granted. There are two types of people in this world, those that give, and those that receive. There are grey areas within, but we all know we are more skewed to one side. As time goes by, the one giving is bound to get tired, and will not want to give anymore. You, on the other hand, have gotten used to the receiving. The sudden withdrawal by your partner is bound to leave you uncontented. Quarrels will follow and that's where the relationship is heading towards, downhill. Even the strongest love would waver if there is no return.

Being with the one you love is a choice. Its an arduous journey because you risk losing everything, including yourself. You would start circling your world around him/her. You face a much higher risk of being heartbroken because you opened your heart. In the game of love, you lose. But people like you tell yourself that between love and pride, you choose love. Because love is a beautiful thing. it gives you the strength to continue no matter how hard your life is. In the end, you are often the one who decides if this is what you really want, and when it is time to move on, you get up and move, stronger than how you were before the start of the relationship. More independent, more sure and certain of what you needed and wanted.

There's no such thing as unconditional love, because things would get to a point where you would want more than you have received. When expectations are not met, we get disappointed, and disappointments would slowly turn into dissatisfaction against the other.
Often, we would end up losing the one who loves us, and we regret as time goes by and we meet many others who never treat us as well. We want to turn back the clock, and reverse everything, but we all fail to realize that some things gone will never return. A heart once broken would not allow itself to be mended. pretty sad but true. as much as we hate to admit it, we hide into a shell that protects us so well, build walls to protect ourselves, only to hurt others in the process.

A relationship is a two way street. There's no room for a third party or all will be lost. Neither is there a way out because the only way out is a break up. If one party stops trying, the other would eventually stop too, because the amount of hurt and effort that one puts in is not enough to salvage a love that has been lost.

爱与被爱都是一种幸福的选择,只是看你选哪一个而已。

I ever watched a show, and i believe in this statement strongly.
“在爱情的过程里面,有一个人是一直站在付出比较多一点的那一方。所以受伤,嫉妒,开心,欢笑,所有爱情的感觉,我们都比对方多了一倍。当然伤害业会多了一倍。不过这些现在对方都感觉不到了,全部都留给我们承受。不过也正因为我们比别人多了一份爱,才有力量在伤痛中重新站起来。”

We should never take love given to us for granted, because the time will come one day where we will regret what we have not cherished.

21 March 2011
Met yijun and zhengyao to celebrate zy's birthday!
we went to K at clarke quay's party world and played Happy birthday song.
but the happy birthday song was super epic and haha we ended up singing the song ourselves.
and we gave him a scardy cat lion. its a scardy cat lion cos i said so. went off to have dinner at marina square to spend the marina square vouchers after that (: hoho, and feeling very very full after that, we went home! :D

22 March 2011
worked full day today cos night plans was cancelled in the end and sis needed to find replacement for the night ):

23 March 2011
ZHENGYAO's BIRTHDAY TODAY!
and seriously, my planner wrote nothing else. i cant remember what i did. ):

25 March 2011
Met yijun for cycling and then lunch at BBQ chicken! :D then we went to watch sucker punch. i honestly feel there is something more to this show but i just can't figure it out. There's got to be something lehhh! homed after that after buying dinner for brother.
"And so, the movie started off with the death of a very rich mom of two girls. She left behind everything to her daughters, much to the (i would say evil) stepfather's anger. He attempted to rape the protagonist one day, but failed. and when it failed, he locked the protagonist in her room and turned to her younger sister and tried to rape her. the sister ran to hide in the closet, and while he was trying to unlock the door, the protagonist got out of her room by jumping out of the window and grabbing a gun, and attempted to shoot him. With a miss, what she found was her sister, breathless. he took this opportunity to send her to the home for the mentally insane, where she struggled to get out with a plan. Together with the rest, they attempted to get out. A wise man in her fantasies told her that they needed to obtain 5 things to get out. A map, fire, knife, key, and the fifth thing was a mystery that only the protagonist could discover herself. A clue was that it required a sacrifice. Obtaining the first four items was a drift between reality and imagination. Sacrifices were made in between obtaining the items, and eventually, what was left was the protagonist and another girl. The last item, as deduced by the protagonist, was her herself. She needed to be sacrificed in order to complete the other girl's story. The story then goes on to the part where the protagonist just finished her lobotomy, and reveals that the psychiatrist have never agreed to this lobotomy. Her stepfather bribed someone to forge the signature. Police is brought in and the next scene shows the girl who escaped getting on the bus. the bus driver helps her on when she was stopped by police officers who found her suspicious. she has no documents and would have been caught without the help of the driver. It turns out that the driver is the same man who appeared in the fantasy of the protagonist. He tells her that she still has a long journey ahead, and the story ends with the bus driving off."
What i think is that this movie teaches you something about life. from the time where she got inside the mentally insane institute, she was observing every single thing. Right from the start she was plotting her escape. And she did it, she could have escaped successfully. She chose to give up her chances of escaping to another who needed it more. She was happy to be lobotomized probably because she rather she forgot everything. The other girl still had a long way to go after escaping, and the experience she had in the mental institute was enough to wide her up for the long journey.

26 March 2011
DADDY's BIRTHDAY!
oh gosh. i can't remember what the heck i did today.
but i bet it was family day. HAHAHA

28 March 2011
Met LY, Yijun and zhengyao for kbox today!
HEHE
and after that went to have astons for dinner over at city square mall! :D
you shall hear how i get so afraid of astons. hahahha

29 March 2011
met anqi for lunch at ASTONS cos i was so bored at home and she was finding someone to accompany her for lunch :D
and then went off to marina square to spend the last of my vouchers on Lincoln Lawyer with zy!
the exchange of words between the people in the show was awesome. (spoilers ahead)
"Its all about this lawyer (Mick Haller) who is really good at defending his clients. His office is at the back of his chauffeured Lincoln car. He got his break with this friend of his who claimed the help of his trustworthy friend who searches for information about the case from various sources. After obtaining the case file from the police through his friend, Mick notices an uncanny resemblance between this and a case that he had fought for years back. He seeks his friend's help again, and when his friend had some leads to what he was looking for, he receives a call; his friend died. The bullet came from a gun that he had kept at home, an collectors' item, and he was suspected for murder. While his client continued insisting on his innocence, Mike grew increasingly suspicious of him. His client always left a loophole which Mike Haller would uncover after each investigation. He started to search for the truth himself to avenge his friend and to win the case for his client. He eventually finds out the truth, but still wins the case for his client, as he would professionally. The twist comes when his client is arrested again just after the case, for another offence. When he realizes that the client was released due to lack of evidence to charge him, Mike goes on a rush against time to protect his wife and daughter. The story eventually ended with a twist that the actual murderer of his friend was his client's mother."
great film, and i love how it boggles my mind somehow. More than anything else, i get the thinking from this movie that we should always stay clear to our conscience.
okay and then we started wasting time away till i was supposed to meet the girls to celebrate wenyi's bday! :D (belated haha) and guess what we had!
YES RIGHT.
ASTONS.
omg. by now i was so afriad of eating chicken that i ordered fish hahahaha.
and wenyi's bday cake was A BUNCH OF BANANAS WTH HAHAHHA

#248

i'm actually lazy to get my scheduler from my grandma to find out what i did over the past few days/weeks/month.
and so i shall just blog randomly because i really need to blog or i will really get mad.

not that i would explain why i am going mad. (:

i notice i love to talk about life whenever i am not feeling very happy.

shall just be random and talk about avril's latest album. when i heard what the hell and read the comments about her at youtube i was very sad. because she is the first female singer that i ever liked listening to. i'm never a listen to rock person but i just like avril's songs. and so, imagine my happiness when i heard her new album. (: it's just as awesome. and somehow, idk if its me, i feel her songs mellowed already, and you can sort of see her growing up with her albums? okay maybe its just me. seriously, her album is awesome. i love everybody hurts, i love you, stop standing there, wish you were here, (im like listing out the whole album alrd) haha

another random thought. i should start packing my table because it's messy and i cant even find my EZ link card. i'm so lazy lately i really just wanna sleep the whole day away. i used to think that sleeping is a waste of time but now i am sleeping almost the whole day. ):

oh i've finally learnt cycling. im so happy i've never been so happy my life. i wish i could stay by the beach in future so i will get to smell the air of the sea every single day when i wake up. no i'm not crazy. somehow i just love this very serene feeling.

oh and i would be going to sri lanka some where in june/july? shall go there to 'find' myself. stay in the mountains and meditate my whole week or two away there. honestly i cant wait. yeah i'm going on again with that finding myself part. i am always finding myself. i always say i want to find myself but i get lost again and again. im really going to isolate myself in the mountains this time and see what i get from it.

oh and i've really got to start preparing for my FTT. because i'm gonna have no time.

AND I SHOULD START CONTINUING ON MY TW TRIP PLANNING. because time is running out and i am still on day 4? ):

okay i shall come back to blog after all these! :D :D

MY MOTIVATION!

#247

sometimes i really think that my dog thinks that i'm mad or smth. or really weird.
idk im so random. i just suddenly thought of this sentence. but then now when i think about it i have totally nothing to substantiate my statement.
is this a good or bad thing?
okay i'll think of smth.
i'll crack my brains to think of smth.

okay here's the something.

1. i talk gibberish to my dog just so that she will dk what the hell i am saying (seriously i wonder if she actl EVER understands anything besides the usual commands*) and then she will tilt her head.

* commands include mum mum(food!), kai kai (walk walk), sit, por por (carry) = SO LIMITED. oh and she actl selectively decides if she wanna "hear" your commands

2. owners don't like their dogs on their beds right? at least my dad doesn't like it. i always carry my dog to my bed after she had a bath and then i'll play with her there and 'lock' her till i leave the room. and she doesn't like the bed either. but she doesn't like the sofa too. she only likes the red chair which is now a big big cushion only. OH and that brings me to her knowing another 2 commands (red chair and blue chair). she loves sitting on these two chairs (red one more) and whenever i say the word she will get up so very excitedly.

3. i like to tell her to come here, and then play with her a bit and tell her to go away, and when she goes away i'll ask her where are you going? come back! 99 out of 100 times she really does go away and does not turn back. maybe cos she thinks i'm just gonna do it again. but hey! i'll justify my madness by saying that its cos i'm trying to help her exercise by walking more steps!

4. i love to irritate my dog. and when i irritate her and she barks or growls at me, i'll scold her. i'll be like you dare to growl/bark at me! and then i bet she's like confused cos i'm actl the one at fault. i'm not sadistic okay. i just have to stand behind her and pretend i wanna disturb her by touching the ground near her and she'll bark already. she is one cranky old dog. but don't you think its funny. hahaha

5. because i say so. i dont want to leave it at number 4. so i have to think of a 5. i just think she thinks that i'm weird and crazy.

okay i'm really weird. ):

Totally Random

shall reply tags before anything!

Aaron: did i reply you before? anw it's super updated alrd. LO
Saly: Thank you (:
Kamalia: thanks! but i'm curious, what's the attraction? (:
Claudia: haha thanks! (:
Fina: its a forum?

i wanna talk about the books i've read before! (at least those that i can remember)

Bestest Author of all (at least the one i like): Cecelia Ahern
Books under her name (which i have), [bolded those that i've read]: The Book Of Tomorrow, The Gift, Thanks For The Memories, A Place Called Here, If You Could See Me Now, Where Rainbows End, P.S I Love You
Her new book's coming out. (yes basically i collect all her books.) not the short stories though. idk why haha.

P.S I Love You is one of the most heart wrenching books I've come across. If my memory still works well, its chapter 23, the chapter where her husband was already about to die, but went to the travel agency to book a holiday for his wife to go for after his death touched me the most. I'm not joking when I say that this book really makes you feel like you do want to love someone, and that true love really lasts. Holly goes through her life after the death of Gerry with no direction at all, till she receives a set of letters by Gerry as promised. The story mainly revolves around "The List" and how it manages to help Holly get through life after her husband's death. From the excitement of the minute of each midnight of the 1st of the month, to slowly faded away It mentions 10 things for her to do in 10 months, both little and big. This list brings her through her loss and teaches her the lesson in the sweetest way that time heals all pain, and things get easier as time passes by. Honestly, it really awed me. All the 10 things can seem minute but have such great underlying meanings.

Where Rainbows End is a more light hearted book. Another name for it is Love, Rosie. This story is about two friends, Alex and Rosie, who grew up together since young. They go through their lives in separate worlds as Alex had to move, but made a pact (and kept to it) to continue communicating (via email most of the time). Both have their own families at different points of their lives, are always on different paces therefore always missing out on the opportunities, but find themselves to each other 5o years later. It's just like telling you that if you two are meant to be, nothing can stop you, even if it takes 50 years. And they experienced this silence, this really golden silence which i always feel is magical. "Looking at each other and the whole world just seems to stop. There's suddenly not a single sound, not even the singing of the birds or the wind blowing. It's just the both of them."
If You Could See Me Now is about imaginary friends. The main reason why i can relate to the character is because we both have the same name. Oh yeah maybe i can include the part where we both leave little room for error. Ivan teaches Elizabeth how live should be lived, instead of being in control all the time. She begins to trust him, get over her life issues, and just when everything seems to be falling into place, she realizes that he isn't who she thought he was. This book is cute yet really touching at various parts of the book. I remember how Ivan was told he was not allowed to stay with Elizabeth due to specific reasons, and how broken hearted he was. He actually loved her before she could even see him, before they even talked. And so they eventually went separate ways, and Elizabeth learnt how to relax while Ivan continues to hold on to this very special relationship they once had.

The Book of Tomorrow is a really great book to me. Mostly because it's so timely. Tamara has everything that anyone can have, but she is hardly ever satisfied with it, until one day, when she loses everything suddenly and is forced to give up her lavish lifestyle. While struggling to cope with these painful changes that happened suddenly, Tamara chances upon a diary which magically fills itself up with the following day's events. And it comes to a point of time when she realizes that she can take her chances and change her future. The story unfolds really naturally, with the unexpected events surprisingly linking up together to finally unravel a greatest secret about her parentage, and her mother's past. She learns as she goes through the hard knocks in life by making mistakes, both big and small, and finally grows up with this knowledge that you have to bear the consequences for your actions.

And these are the other random reads I can think of at the moment (maybe cos i just read them awhile ago)

Perks of Being a Wallflower. A great book actually. This writer is awesome because his writing style is so... different. This story spans around a boy called Charlie, who can well be anybody. He writes to this person whom he feels is a good listener and in the letters to this person, he writes about the many things that he go through, including his love, his mistakes, and his depression. And i wont forget how this girl he really loves told him that
"Charlie, don't you get it? I can't feel that. It's sweet and everything, but it's like you're not even there sometimes. It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder. What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things."

“Like take their hands when the slow song comes up for a change. Or be the one who asks someone for a date. Or tell people what you need. Or what you want. Like on the dance floor, did you want to kiss me?"
This book left me kind of depressed for a little while because of the things that he faced. His posts are passively negative and somehow the negative energy can be passed to you. But you learn abit of something here and there whenever this happens. so i guess its good in a way?

What Alice Forgot mainly teaches you to slow down and relook your lives. Alice lost ten years of her memory and within 10 years, she find herself today going through a divorce with the husband she loved so much, and 3 kids whom she feels she can never control. The book continues through for a large part of the story where she tries to bring her life back into what it was. And i always remember how Nick (her husband) told her that he would know when she regains her memory. She would look at him different. And she really did, he recognized it instantly, when she regained his memory. But could 10 years really change you and your love? Or should you remember to always slow down and spend more time with each other? A marriage falls apart for a very simple reason. both parties stopped trying.

The Notebook has a predictable ending and can be easily followed. i literally finished this book in a day despite the ending. You just want to flip page after page. The story is really heartbreaking and we see another totally devoted man who gives his all to the woman he loves, and this woman, who is willing to give up her riches and stability in life for a man she loves, and finally overcoming what people would call impossible/a miracle.

Cleo The main thing that attracted me to the book was the cover, because of the Blackie. In many ways, they were similar. The same type of energy level, the same type of healing spirit. Cleo was a cat, a black cat that helped in healing a family after the death of someone close. The writing style makes the read a light hearted one though there are instances of my heart wrenching up and my tears falling. Her descriptions of each event are so vivid that i can imagine them in my head and laugh at the comical occasions. Cleo answered me many questions that i had in my mind then. It again teaches you how to cope with loss, a different sort of loss, while dealing with life and the many problems that it brings with.

i want to talk about life.

Are you one of those people who meet with setbacks and think of giving up everything?
everything includes life.

After having gone through so many happenings last year,
I realized that nothing is going to ever be strong enough to put you down, except yourself.
It boils down to your thinking.
If you choose to self-despair, and choose to not be able to stand up after you fall, even if there are a hundred of psychologists out there, none of them can help you.
Why?
Because you already made up your mind.
It's simple.

I know sometimes the matters that we are faced with might be overwhelming, we might not be able to face it right away,
we might hide.
we might push it aside.
but it's not a long term solution,
because something would happen to trigger off the tears again.
but it's perfectly alright to push it aside till you can find a solution.
I do it all the time.
What is really important is that you must be able to face up to your emotions each time.

You think anyone really cares if you died today?
yeah they will, but what's the use then?
you ended every suffering for yourself.
but you passed them all onto those people who cared for you.

There are people out there,
fighting for their dear life.
people who really live life like there is no tomorrow.
Fact is,
we could all do this.

All we've gotta do is be contented.

It's really a simple concept.
But people seem to always do things the complicated way.

I think we should all slow down and relook our own lives.

i've always believed that you reap what you sowed.
that's logical right?
if you're nice, people would treat you nice.
if you're mean, people would treat you mean too.
this is still logical, and still applies... only to theory.

i don't think i'm a mean person.
neither do i think i have been fake or too self centered.
so why am i being dealt with this?

that's right.
i am hardly able to sympathize with anyone anymore.
don't even try comparing me with those unfortunate people in the third world countries because i'm not there. i don't know them. they don't know me either. but the difference? they have the worldwide coverage, i don't. you think people would give a damn about what is going on in my life now? yes, only those few.

and it's only those few who would be there.

the rest of you? go think about it yourself.
i'm done with giving a damn about you people because you don't really care about me.
since you hardly bother to be there, don't expect me to give anything to you anymore.
i'm tired enough trying to mend my own heart.
i can't be bothered with you anymore.

in Oct, i found out something that changed my life 360 degrees.
i'm not exaggerating.
in the same month, before i even had the chance to take a breather,
my grandpa and grandma were in and out of the hospital one after another.
my brother went into the hospital too.
grandpa had a bad fall and needed stitches on his head.
he was diagnosed with tongue cancer there.
grandma had samonella poisoning.
brother fell down while on bike and broke his ankle.
and then he is diagnosed with some form of disorder there.
when grandpa could be discharged, grandma was discharged.
when grandma was discharged, grandpa was admitted again.
for almost 2 months, i had to go through this.
and my other grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer.
before i had a chance to take a break from all these in the month of december,
i had a fall a week back.
my knees have been injured and has got worse from the constant kneeling every night.
my parents only found out about it a few days later.
i sprained my ankle.
my parents never knew it.
my grandparents passed away.
one after another,
in two days.
grandma passed away on fri night.
grandpa passed away on sun morning.
i cry almost every day, but so what?
i'm so bitter with life now.

today is the day of cremation of grandma, and i am not allowed to send her off because you are not allowed to go to two funerals.

that's right.
try being me.

blahhhh.
i think i have such a tiring draining life.
but hey, i dont go around telling the whole world about this because i really don't want sympathy.
though i do hope that you people would stop hoping for me to keep giving and giving, because this is just what i find myself no longer capable of doing.
okay i digressed alrd.
what i wanted to do was to write a letter to someone, someone whom i really am unable to see eye to eye with.

*in case any of you come back 4-6 years down the road later to 'settle scores', i'll just make it clear now that if you think i am referring to you, then it's you. and i gather you should self reflect rather than coming back to settle these kind of scores because if a person like me can only see the bad side of you, it means you are really pretty bad and don't have much good points.*

oh, and btw, come to me directly if you wanna know the truth, don't go to my parents. so downright embarrassing for yourself.

**disclaimer: read this with an objective view

i've never liked you much after all those stories that i heard about you since i was young. seriously, who would like a person who did black magic on his own family members, not even letting off young children of 4-6 years of age? who would like a person whose kids were such bullies and went around pinching us each time they saw us, leaving us blue blacks? but still, i tell myself to take these comments about you with a pinch of salt. they were stories that were already over, and i can't remember anything about it. those were your kids, since they are unable to behave, i guess they are just too wild. i give you the respect whenever i see you, but to the bare minimum.

i've seldom seen you around, probably because you were never around fulfilling your responsibilities. if you were, i would have definitely heard about you once or twice. and i quote from someone dear to me, "when your parents were well and healthy, u took off, running away from your responsibilities." you left the responsibilities to someone else, and now what are you back for?

what do you have to say about yourself? as much as i would still like to think of you as an okay person, i'm sorry to say that i can't bring myself to.

your mother was down with stomach flu and what were you doing? sitting in the hall the whole day, watching television. are you sure that you are able to take care of her when she goes over to where you are at when she is older?

your father was lying on the hospital bed, looking very frail, and what did you do? took your own sweet time to get to the ward, and when you were there, u went to every other person's bed instead of your own dad's and continued talking to others. when you finally came over you actually said that he looked better? were you actually around during the family meetings when they were mentioning that he is very depressed and wanted the doctor to end his life if he couldn't undergo the operation or were you fantasizing about the amount of money you were going to receive?

i don't see how your supplements are going to save his life. if you don't have money (which you do since you are always claiming you have 2324525234 maids at home) then u put in the effort. but you do nothing and hope to receive everything.

hi, but get back down to earth.

you're so great with your words and i think its very clear to everyone, including bystanders, what kind of person you are. every action that you took which i saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears just made me feel that you are out to fight for that one thing.

you're not a good person at all. downright to the bones. don't talk about seniority and respect whenever the topic comes in because you have done nothing and deserve the same in return. you reap what you sow, sir. and the amount of great things you have done for those orphans over there are really not enough to make up for the bad karma that you have accumulated towards your own family.

so long,
SA

from: karma awaits you.
