Vague Reveries

I was watching the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” sometime last week and it made me realised that marriage nowadays does not lasts as long as our ancestors’. It is very rare for a couple to hit their 10th wedding anniversary in this era, and if a marriage gets to that point, it really should be celebrated

Personally, I would say that marriage should lasts as long as both couple in question are alive. Just as the marriage vows goes - “till death do us part”. Honouring the wedding anniversary by getting the right gift should be practiced, just so to remind each other of the precious time they spent together.

The Kiss - Hand carved romantic figurine symbolising everlasting love!

Looking at the figurine above, I just knew that the 5th wedding anniversary are symbolises with wood. The number 5 (five) has always been a favourite of mine, and wood carving is another. So there’s my new lesson in life.

What if ….

These are two little words that crosses our minds every now and then… more often than not about something that we did or did not do .. I try to live my life to the fullest, grabbing every opportunity that comes my way in every way that I can to avoid asking myself this question in the near future … but life, as hard as it is .. always seem to have a way to make us think of these two words … it could for the better, but sometimes it is just best left unsaid. Sometimes we find a solution by asking ourselves this question, but most of the time, this question comes knocking in our mind out of regrets.

Lately, these two words occupies my mind a whole lot more than before. So many aspects of my life to ponder upon. BUT….. I’m going to leave it as it is. I’ll just go with the flow, and have faith with the Higher Being. I  know I did my best, now it is all up to HIM.  For now, I could only pray, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. May His will be done

My initial plan was to get my poor but trusty car to be fixed this month. Alas, that plan would have to be postponed yet again. There are so many things that need fixing. I just hope that it won’t get to the point that I have to rely on roadside assistance to keep my poor car going. *sigh* I sometimes wonder why my life seems to be harder than most people around me. But then again, looks can be deceiving sometimes eh?

Mountain of debts need to be cleared, and now it may continue to grow instead. I could only stare, pray & work my ass off and hopes for the best to come. Some people gets irritated when I was being negative, and some still gets irritated when I’m trying to look at the brighter side of life. Life is indeed hard. Learned that the hard way, again and again.

Nowadays, I could not even walk for a long time without having the bad knee aching. So I tend to walk less, move less and of course that made me weigh more! I wonder, maybe it’s the shoes that made the pain more intense than the actual injury was. As I read on, I found out that mbt shoes could be the best solution for my problem for now.

It really never occured to me before that knee pain could be such a pain in the ass! I could relate now to my grandma’s situation when she said the knees are such a pain, even more during cold, wet days. I am only 31, yet I can relate to my grandma’s pain! Geez! All the freedom to play, to work out is now limited to one or two activities, just like the rest of my life is. Feeling sorry for myself is not going to get me anywhere, I know that. But hey, I am allowed to cry my heart out, feeling sorry for myself for a while before I could actually kick myself up and moved on, be the more positive me right? Even the Science findings shows that crying is good. So please understand that. Be kind to me when you select the words to cheer me up.

If you think my attitude is not helping, try to be in my shoes. I don’t have lands for me to fall back on, I don’t have a degree nor a diploma that can be count on to work for an organisation with “less stress” than the ones that I used to work at with the same salary scale. I had it rough throughout my life.  It was almost there within my grasps for me to change it all, but hey, again the opportunity was taken away from me in a blink of an eye. I don’t usually say it out loud, and I try my best to be positive all throughout my life or else I would not be here today. People see that I am made of steel, but they don’t know that there are times when I melt down to make a stronger material in me. I know, you are learning to know me better, so please, try to be in my shoes.

Forgive me if I have been such an ass with all these situations. I have been counting on you to understand, but I guess it’s going to be a long learning process for us. AND how did the talk about shoes came about to this?

Just as rain washes away dirt from the streets, tears clear away emotional mud that can clog your ability to continue with your day. Crying is as valuable as sneezing or coughing. ~ Mary Butler & Diane Mastromarino, Take Time For You.

Never been one that just bought kuih raya off the shelves, I have always enjoyed making my own and of course getting some from my aunties during raya. So I did not know how much the kuih raya are being sold. As I was wondering about the price for my honey cornflakes/cornflakes madu/snek madu in my previous post , I went around asking friends and family members.

Boy, was I shocked when I found out the market price! 42 cents to 50 cents each! So today, what I’m going to do is go to the shop, find out the cost price and try to figure out a price that is competitive enough but hopefully not that expensive as the rest. But I guess, there’s a reason why people are putting up such prices hmmm? Price hike everywhere, how about the income? Sheeeeshhhh…..
