jalan jalan cari makan..

Was digging for old business plans but to no avail. Instead I found poyo pictures of myself and my makan geng.

Malacca on 23rd September, 2006.
Must go Malacca again for the Portuguese food. Darn..

predictable answers..

I posted a question for my friends to answer in Facebook.

"Jannah asks: What's the best option? Leave my man and go for my Masters in Spain or forget about Spain and live with my man? Fuiyooh..soalan cepu emas~!"

Their answers was just as expected especially from Wei-yu and Wils..they just want free accomodation in Spain.. like I don't know you ppl well.. heh.. *lopsided grin*

Stephanie Wei-yu Yap:
nak kena tampar ke? apa jenis soalan ni?? kalau nak stay back- you better kahwin this one, otherwise you better go study and become what i told you to be! a successful politician who will one day rule the world, like mojo jo jo!

Jini Rajendran:

Muthu Veerapen:

Wilson Wong Jun Jie:

some legendary insights..

When we are young, our whole life is about the pursuit of life's adventure. It's all about being carefree and exploring life to the fullest. Then, we grow up, hit the bumpy road and learn about reality.

We eventually learn to be cautious.

We realized that life is not merely all dandy, we could break a bone or a heart along the way if we are not careful. We look before we leap and sometimes we don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch us.

And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

I reckon, at one point in adulthood, life became serious and we start wanting stability, we started blending in and adjusting. What we used to think of something not quite fitting before, started to fit in slowly. And on the other hand, ironically, some other things that fits before, doesn't really seem to fit in, at the present moment.

Interesting enlightenment, don't you think?

stress

Stress.
Nothing works today.
And people just never fail to frustrate me. And when I thought things couldn't get any worse, it did.

I can seriously bitch right now in four different languages but am too worn out. So, I think I'll take a break - make hot Milo kosong, sit back and listen to soothing music.. and maybe soak my feet in luke warm water.. uuhh....de-stress... uuhh...aaaahhh...uuhhh......

la vida es sueno...

From : +4478********
"Hey woman, I finally realized. I finally get it. I'll be back in August, already bought a ticket home. Where will you be then?"

I smile McDonald style when I received the sms this morning. But geez, I never expected that he would take that loooooooooooooonggg to realize something I've been aware of since both of us were sixteen.

Frankly, I have not the slighest idea where I'll be in future. So many dreams to chase, so little time. And I've made tons of plans for next year, my 2008 schedule is already quite full - something to look forward to. And since I usually make spontaneous trips, hhmm... for all I know, I might be in Sydney or Beijing in coming August. Or maybe Florence!!

So, I left him an offline msg saying, "I'll be where adventure takes me. Plus, I haven't found that spot I would like to call home for the rest of my life yet. Even when you're back and I'm not here, we'll see each other again one fine day. You're sending your kids to my place in the future remember? ;)"

I know for the fact that he won't like the answer but hey, la vida es sueno babe. And I plan to live it my way..

santa maria..

I WILL drag my ass here no matter what, no matter how many years it will take for me to go to this Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori, Florence in Italy.

There's a story behind it, heh. Of course, for me (and the lucky guy who will go with me to Florence someday) to know and for other people to never find out. *sweet smile*

some petpot while taking a break..

"Never make someone a priority in your life who only sees you as an option", a wise move to defend your sorry heart, that's what I think.

A guarded heart kills relationship - either with your parents, your siblings, your husband or wife, your bestfriends, mere friends and even the relationship you have with your pets!

Sometimes, just let your guard down a little bit and push aside the pride and make someone feel that they matter to you. Treat them as how you would treat yourself eventhou' your good deed will not be return by the same person. Know that life is a cycle and God is fair - for someone else will treat you with the same kindness. (Quote from my late Imran whom directly translated a Japanese idioms for moi)

This is what I call giving without expectations - a therapy for inner peace. Try it, it actually feels good and you will see that you have absolutely nothing to lose..

[p/s: Ohh...Happy 25th birthday today, Mr.F! *wink wink wink*]
