*FesTiveDay*

Two more days to go b4 Hari Raya Haji..... & the best part, it falls on a Sunday, which only mean tat we didnt have to report for werk on the Monday (1 more day of lazing ard!!!) ... hmm... speaking of this festive day, i can still vividly remember the time my dearest parents left for their haj pilgrimage 3 yrs ago....

It was a hectic year for us during tat period of time ... my parents went barely 3 months after we shifted to our new house ... it was the first time tat i was left alone wif my 2 elder bro on our own for so long but it was certainly a gd experience ... all of us does our own stuff as usual .... but its kinda different .. the family warmth is jus not there .... thanks goodness, my parents were back safe and sound ...2 months after their return from the pilgrimage, my eldest bro got married ... the preparation was endless ...

since then, Hari Raya Haji will always be celebrated the same way as Hari Raya Puasa...on the eve, we will make the preparation & start cooking .... not forgetting the 'Ketupat"...on the day itself, after the men came back from prayer, we will have our family breakfast .. will only go to Grandma's place after 'Zohor' prayer ... the rest of the day will be lazing around & watching the telly ...

come to think of it.. all this festive day is the only time we get to see each & every family members, all traditionally dressed & catching up on things... looking forward to the day ....

it has certainly been sometime tat i had a meet-up session wif my 2 best frenz, Aida & Hadi .. and kinda missin them loads and loads.. really crossing my fingers to meet them up w/o anyone else around.... but its kinda hard ...

somehow it created a smile walking down memory lane thinking how our friendship is formed

We have been frenz since our first yr poly but only gotten real close in our final yr ... come to think of it .. things are very contradicting...each of us have this thingy of not liking to mix wif alot of malays .. but we ended up as best frenz ...

during our breaktime during poly ... hadi will be spending time wif his chinese guys classmates while aida will be wif her chinese gals while me, being the typical who likes to be the rose among the thorns, will be wif my guy frenz, a mixture of chinese and indian..... the 3 of us will only get together after day over .... and make it a point to talk on the phone @ nite (thanks to Singtel for the 3-way calling)....we did alot of things together esp during the study week...... revising & cooking @ each other places... even after graduation. we make it a point to meet-up & catch a movie @ least once a month .....

But things started to drift apart... since hadi started werking & doing shift werk, aida bz wif werk & courses while me, bz wif werk and family biz .... each of us trying hard not to let the friendship stray and i really appreciated tat alot...

though each of us got our differences & bz wif life, we were there for each other.. i can always find comfort in them....they were really there cheering me up when i was going the bad patch of my life, not letting me go down........

i guess tat is wat friendship is all about .. though we hardly meet up, we make it a point to know how things are going for each other...... hopefully this friendship will remain and going on strong ... really missing them

*ColdWeek*

Whew!!... i finally did a blog entirely on my own... initially it was scary seeing the codes in the template .. and the first thing i wonder was whether i can manage .... but after sometime meddling wif stuff, i realise tat things are not tat difficult but challeging more like it ... but it sure makes my eyes super tired, going thru the different template & not able to decide which one i have taken to liking ... hehehehe... but it was definitely a gd experience ...

the aircon in the office is terrible.. i guess its bcos of the renovation works ... the chill kinda penetrate to the bones .. and the weather outside isnt helping @ all... (wonder where Mr. Sun is????)

*SuperLongWkend*

It had been sometime tat i didnt blog ... not sure why though.. maybe nothing exciting been happening to my life lately .. but i am glad, super glad tat the life tat i am leading now is calmer & happier ...

been spending my super long weekend wif my dearest, my parents & my cat, Ash.. doing nothing much.. but jus lazing @ home, its jus feel so different when u have all the time in the world doing your own stuff @ ur own time ...

Sometimes, we spend time askin who is responsible or who to blame....whether in a relationship, in a job or wif the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship to give each other support. Treasure wat u hav.

Gotten this from a dear fren.... makes me realise things. Just a little story for u.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.They were a loving couple & the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle & keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle &, fascinated with its color, drank it all.

It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.When the child showed signs of poisoning, the mother took him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital & saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

QUESTIONS :

1. What were the four words ?
2. What is the implication of this story ?

Check with the answers only after you have tried to come up with your own.


ANSWER :

The husband just said "I Love You Darling" .

The husband totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. He is indeed a genius in human relationships. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot & love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must understand her a lot & love her wif all your heart.

"A journey of a thousand miles, begins with but with a single step."

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, & fears & U will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Love has its own time, season & reason. You can't ask for it to stay. U can only embrace it when it comes & be glad tat for a moment in ur life, it was urs.

(grinz.. so unlike of me....heheheh...)..
