"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...
