Vishnu, a very unique (though some would refer him as queer) friend of mine, just told me a metaphor of life.
I felt that it's rather meaningful and so I have decided to write this 2nd post for today!
Just so I don't forget in future.
I guess everyone has heard of this statement: Life's made up of sweet, bitter, sour and spicy tastes.
Well, I have always agreed with that. At times when I felt life's "bitter", I would remind myself "ć èŠćç".
That the sweet things in life would come soon, that bitterness don't last forever.
That I have to endure the sufferings in order to become better.
But then today, Vishnu said that yea, life's made up of different spices.
it depends on how you mix with them, perhaps there are a few key ingredients tat must be used.
You have gotta have sadness to appreciate happiness.
There ought to be bitterness as a part of LIFE.Okayy.. I know I am not reaching my point yet. soon soon. Be Patient.BUTit's not that you have to taste a lot of salt, then next, a bag of sugar, then consume chili padi api ss.
I mean, it's not about tasting each separately.
It certainly wouldn't be nice to suddenly taste a lot of salt in your mouth. Even if it's sugar, it would feel very geli too.
Vishnu said it's like an extremely bitter cup of black coffee, but if you happen to be able to add a correct amount of sugar,
it would taste like a piece of heaven!Try and error, pick the right ingredients, the right amount, for a tasty recipe of life.
Indeed.
Life's a process to be enjoyed all the while.
Brew your own special cup of coffee.Enjoy the aroma and texture of it. Be unique.
Life's not great when it's made up of all sweet things only.
Again, if it's all sweet sweet, then means u r going the wrong direction d, diabetes coming lo!
Things have to be in right proportion and
that's what will make me, me.
I so so love being imperfect.
The perfection that I used to crave, appears to be so scary for me now
coz perfection means NO room for improvement.
perfection is sad. -
It felt superb when the children sms-ed to tell me their UPSR results.
Feel so appreciated that they would think of me when they get their results.
Meanwhile, my beloved brother is sitting for his SPM theses days.
Days ago, he suddenly sms-ed me, "sis, can u tel me tat SPM is nothing? At least, lie to me."
I get it. The pressure. I used to have it to. And I still, have it occasionally nowadays.
It's not that our parents pressure us too much but...it feels so bad to see their dissapointed faces.
And at those times, teachers would often make u feel tat if you don't do well in the coming exam, ur future is doomed!
Treat exams as a place for you to show off your knowledge! Well, besides d geo, maths, language n stuffs,examination let us learned a lot more, i.e. how to cope with pressure, how to "counsel" fren who seems like their world is ending soon, how to know the techniques of speed reading all of a sudden, how to say super sincere prayers, appreciate the emotional supports some would provide you, how regret is a big waste of time and as for my case, I would suddenly "achieve my full potential"! lolz. Suddenly realize tat I can finish 2 years' syllabus in days. Or a semester's in hours. Of course, I would often regret to not have started earlier and then set new resolutions the next semester. But...oh well, I have given up changing my last-min attitude, it's a syndrome many of us would get, so it's normal, I suppose. haha
Tat day Joshua said that my biggest fear is rejection. I felt that it's soooo true. That's exactly what's holding me back many times. Like my previous post, I have mentioned that I sometimes worry too much, care too much, think too much. All of a sudden, I saw a book in Lawrence's house last night -- Dare to face Rejection. What a coincident! Finished it in half an hour. Felt so much better. Changed a perspective. Failure and rejection is just like a toll we have to pay to achieve what we want. If life's going all smooth and easy, it means I am going downhill! So I shall embrace the differences in things from now on, face rejections/failures/setbacks/hatred/worries/fears with a whole new perspective! They are all opportunities for me to grow. Ahhh~ What a relieve. I love people and life again! Variety is the spice of life. Everyone goes through all those too. I shall not be paranoid or too obsessed with the negative feelings. Cared too much on all the wrong stuffs. Care about welfare of people more, rather than what they think or would assume. Silly me XP

purposely went to Ipoh but couldn't get tickets for 2012. Anyhow, had a great shopping session though XDI am much better employed from every point of view, when I live solely for my own satisfaction, than when I begin to worry about the world.The world frightens me, and a frightened man is no good for anything. ~George Gissing
Worries & Fears,is like the heavy metal ball chaining my feet.
I have been too busy worrying how to please everyone, finding out whether anyone misunderstood me and wanting to explain to all my intentions.
Then I remember one day, Melanie asked me when we chat online, she wondered :" Why would you want to please everyone?"Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? ~Fanny Brice
I am trapping myself. Who has never been disliked? Even great people, great artists, world-class leader and even Jesus during his lifetime, have been misunderstood or hated by some.
Life's too short for all these. I shall remember.I shall be the one I am. Coz the most exhausting thing in the world is to be insincere.Be sincere to all, give people more than what they expect and do it cheerfully. Then I guess, my part is done. I would rather please God then to favour man.
Aiyah, I don't care what you think lah! I know God loves me wan XD
