"Live Simply...?" (Part II) - Happy Belated Mum's Day..

Happy Mothers' Day..

"To all mothers and mums-to-be .... U deserve the best for bringing us into this world... Thank you .. Love U Loads... ;-)"

Mothers' Day celebration didnt turn out that bad.. it all started by me sending out mothers' day sms to all my dear frenz, which goes somewhat like this:-

" Katak Pisang, Katak Puru..
Adakah katak dan pisang sepupu?
Jangan perasan..
Jangan terharu..
Bukan nak ucapkan I rindu U..
Cuma nak ucapkan
'Selamat Hari Ibu' kat Mak U ;-)"

Heh... I know its crap..but what the heck.. we love our mothers dun we???

Well.. so me and my dear zany bunch of cousins congregate (or malay call it 'serbu') at my dear aunt's place to celebrate mothers' day.. but before that as usual... life wudnt be interesting if u dun pick a fight with people once in a while..heh..

Story goes somewhat like this....

[We were at Swensens to buy mothers' day cake.. and fine.. after choosing the specially-made mothers' day cake from the fridge display.. and after paying for it.. guess what..?

"Im sory md'm.. the cake that u bought is actually out of stock.. "

What duh??? ok ..so what now?? ive paid for it.. u better go get me something or my mum is gona scream at u before i do..!!!! Y the heck did u suggest me a cake that is out of stock.. where r all the cakes wen u need them the most..!!! (looking at the time.. yikes.. we're late..arghh..)

So dat poor fella went to find me a cake... heh.. ahh.. gd choice... "oreo cookies ice cream cake.."im glad at least tht fella has good sense of taste.. heh.. well..ok we'll take that..ok..time to rush to my mothers' day celebration...

"Selamat Hari Ibu...Selamat Hari Ibu... Selamat Hari Ibu....lalalalaa...." - we got a choir specially imported from China, India and Malaysia to sing the songs above.. hehe... (well the blessings of having inter-cultural / international marriages in a family...heheh..I juz love my family... )]


OK..so much crap about proving that life isnt that simple after all.... but ironincally, where does all that satistfaction and the sense of being grateful for just being in this world comes from? ahh...ahh....

And yes... my dil still goes singing "mmm...mmm..mmm.." even though life isnt a bed of roses..

That's the beauty of life.. all you need to do is to appreciate what you have.. simple or not.. who cares... as long as you're grateful for the very existence of yourself in this world.. and yes people.. we do have our missions.. nah.. im not gona preach..but yah..u get what i mean... (err..no...we're not here to place nuclear bombs as and where we want to destroy ppl's lives.. no.. we advocate PEACE.. ok.. )

Take your time to stop and reflect... like what my dad used to say.. "dun think too much.. follow the very first thing that comes to your mind/heart...coz that's the most sincere thought that you have.. the moment u start to ponder and sit on it for ages.. thats where complications will set in my dear gurl... dun be afraid.. just go for it.. "

(ahh.. dun we just love our fathers... awwww...)

So do we have a conclusion to our situation?

Live simply?

Hmm... everyone trying to define life..
As how its being depicted in movies..well.. we have the following examples which relate life to food or anything that is tangible basically...

"Life is like a box of chocolate...

Life is like an ice-cream..eat it before it melts...

Life is like a stage where we are the actors and the actresses... directed by Him..

Life is like rojak... the mix and match of it.. messy but taste fantastic.."

(ok, i came up wid that last one..heh...)

Admit it..there are certain points in your life where you try to summarise the meaning of life into something that is comprehensible.. though it might not be a very good representation... but what the heck... be happy that at least you have tried to decipher the meaning of life.. its a continuous process (long and may be ardous to some..) but hang in there.. we're all in it.. learn to accept it ..its all a matter of perspective.. :-)

And yes.. we can live simply despite all that complications.. again its a matter of perspective and choice.. :-)

Hey..look at it this way.. if our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W can do it.. insyaAllah... I bet we can..

Yeah.. ;-)

Saaalammm Namaste...

"Live Simply...?"

"Live Simply.."

Sounds simple huh.. ? I beg to differ my fren.. Let's start by analysing from the microscopic level point of view..

"The Eukaryotic Cell.. "

I hope i get the biological term rite..

Just within 1 tiny weeny little living cell, you have a 1001 of biological processes.. What's more if you go on and study the whole entire body system..just to get that heart (which is the size of your fist) beating, fit and healthy.. more than a million processes are taking place simultaneously..

Yeah.. not that simple after all.. even tho' we wish it was THAT simple..

Does simplicity leads to perfection or idealism ?
How does one define simplicity?
Simplicity equates to being 'Normal'? (huh? does that mean that im abnormal??)

Hmm....Let me have a go at this.. and see if it leads us to enlightenment or more confusions...

Hypothesis: There are many compliations behind that simplicity.

Test:

My Definition of Simplicity...

1) Taking the Average / Moderation

To moderate all the inputs and outputs of life.

(Keyword: MODERATION)

*Moderation in spending... (heh.. come on.. this is easier said than done.. )

Expenditure includes the following..

- Cali. fitness monthly fees
- Shopping of my SRK dvds
- Shoes... (ah.. we cant resist this can we gurls???)
- Taxis... (ok..i admit im down with this 'Hands-Up-For-Taxi' syndrome...)
- Karaoke.. (How can I live without it ???? At least once every two weeks... deniably addicted to it..)
- Clothes.. heh.. self-explanatory...
- Facials and Self-Pampering treats.. (Its called the "Oonly Me Treat"..I deserve that good body scrub, body mask and massage after my ordeal in school..)
- Hair Treatments.. (OK.. i cant deny myself from that damn good scalp and hair treatment.. its my dignity man.. balding is a no-no.. NO!!!!!)
- Food.. ahhaaha.... (ok.. Eat to Live)


* Moderation in Eating

- Ok.. we can cut down on that.. (err.. do i have to give up my cheesecake?? oh TiDAKK!!!! NO ..No.. Nahi..nahi... )

[Sidetrack: Finally i get that Oreo Cheesecake recipe from Kak Mus.. ahaha.. ok.. we'll try it out soon.. I'll definitely update you on it.. even if its burnt.. well.. at least im starting to bake something.. ]

* Rainbow of Life

Alrite..we know we cant expect perfections in life.. im not perfect .. u're not perfect.. but when two/ more imperfect invididuals come together.. you'll be surprised how perfect we can be.. (",)

5 'C's : Compromise, Communication, Compassion, Companionship & Camaraderie.. :-)

And yes.. Expect the Unexpected...

Welcome Surprises.. It makes your life more colourful...

"Dun push yourself too hard my dear.. Most importantly, you did your best.. Nah, nah.. its not the results.. but the journey/ process to that results that matters most.. Gotta take it in your stride.." --> Ok.. i noe..easier said than done.. heh..

* Old Prophecy (Part One) --> " Study hard.. get a gd job.. your future will be bright.."

Hmm... ok.. we noe in the modern world its crap --> Read "Poor Dad, Rich Dad".. You'll realise it.. and no.. im not promoting network marketing for any company... standards of living (especially living in a metropolitan urban concrete jungle) have increased ten-folds compared to our gran nannies and daddies time.. and no.. u can never find a decent meal at a cost of 50 cents anymore.. (unless ure starting out at a primary school...)

* Old Prophecy (Part Two) --> " Good job.. find a partner.. have a nice family..."

Ha-ha-ha.. ok.. who come up with that phrase..???? !! My goodness... ok.. your 'que sera sera.. watever will be, will be.." no.. that doesnt apply anymore.. smell the air of reality.. yes.. there's always the silver lining behind every cloud.. Pessimism lurking in every sentence...

ok.. breathe in and out... Hold on Tightly to your

3 F's :- Family, Friends & Faith in Him...

Yep! :-)

(To be continued...)

Match 'N' Make... A Sticky Situation...

Its been close to half a year since my last entry.. and due to the constant demands from my peeps to update the blog.. eh heh.. so here goes..

'Match' n 'Make' of the 20th century ..

Who's up for the match n make game? Hands Up!! :-) (Dun worry..im not the ambassador for SDU ok..)

Life is so full of secrets.. and thats the best part of it.. when it starts to reveal its wonders bit by bit to you.. especially when you least expect it.. (or the last thing that you want to happen at that point of tym)

Its a wonder to find out that such match n make situations do exist..still exist in our modern day situation.. well.. mainly it has a few effects on the parties involved..

1) You welcome the idea with open arms.. :-)

OR

2) Escapism & Rejection (Basically, you dread the idea and run away from it)

OR

3) Acception / Self - Deception (Basically, accepting it despite the fact you dread it.. lying to yourself its gona be all fine.. yeah rite.. => some may perceive it as positive thinking..

It'll hit you harder when its been forced onto you.. especially if your mind, heart and soul is already tied to THAT one. Then comes the question of sacrifice.. hmm..

welcome to the grey area my fren..

You see.. in a typical movie settings.. you have the persistent traditional/conservative parents who happily arrange the marriages for their beloved son/daughter. Then, son/daughter will be caught between loyalty to parents and love to other innocent party (whose existence is not welcomed but somehow was there to complicate matters.. yes, the main culprit is love)..

If u happen to be in KKKG, the son still chooses the gurl over the father..
if u happen to be in DDLJ, the daughter still gets to marry the one that she loves..

Yeah..yeah.. its all happily ever after..

BUT...(that's in movie..) heh..

Smell the Air of Reality.. Here's a glimpse of it ...
(courteasy of an unfortunate / fortunate indivdual)

"Boy meets gurl..
Boy likes gurl...
Boy begins to love gurl..
Boy propose to gurl..
Gurl says Yes :-)(awwww...)
Boy tells father..
Father told boy "NO" (oh sh***t)
Boy supposed to marry girl whom father choose
Boy says OK.. (what d - heck??)
So, boy tells girl..
We remain as frenz..
Boy says bye bye..
The End.."

[Disclaimer: The characters mentioned above are purely fictional.. Any similarities or familiarities to real situations out there are purely coincidental.. ]


Hmm...


Qn: What the heck just happen?
Qn: Loyalty/ Love to parents.. How much wud you sacrifice for them?
Qn: WHo determines your life? Parents? You? Or the Al-Mighty Him? :-) We Shud noe the answer yeah.. But trust me... certain deluded inviduals dont..

Qn: Fate? How much do you rely on them?
Qn: A test of sincerity, love and loyalty in a relationship...? A complete failure in this case?
Qn: If boy ever comes back.. should gurl give boy a 2nd chance?
hmm..Tempting.. should gurl get herself burnt by going back to old flame?? hmm..
Qn: what the heck gurl is doin with such a boy?
Qn: its hard to push the blame.. and yeah..wun solve anything..


Sticky situation.. (How much we hate sticky situations...haiz...)
