Sweet simple things in life...

Just these few days, I had been thinking... life is always full of dynamic and intense activities and event, thus, why not take a seat back and indulges oneself in sweet simple gestures that will just bring a smile across your face?

There are many reasons for one to smile. The pace of life is just too rush that people tends to be blind by sweet Nob! Would love to share a list of things that brought a smile across my all rounded face for the past one week;

1) While driving off and saw my best friend waiting under the block to make sure that I drive off on the right direction!
2) An aimless and coffee shop-style chat with a close friend over the phone
3) Gossiping with a friend who is still stuck in Utah just about anything over MSN
4) Relaxing comedic play about Army daze
5) Lying at Subway having sandwich and eventually fall asleep on the sofa while playing with the computer...
6) Having a group of students who laugh at every single joke you cast!
7) Receiving nice remarks on how well you look over facebook... LOL

8) Getting a surprise present for someone whom you care for... Even that was at 11pm at night!

9) Walking at night with the best friend towards the car that is parked miles away....
10) Having your niece to come over and insisting on giving you a kiss on the cheek!

Well, guess that the list just goes on and on... So, back to what I am trying to say here, just because of one incident that might turn your mood around, do one find that it is worth it to turn down all the nice simple sweetness in life? Remember, it is after all your life and your day... So why choose to be upset? 1 enemy doesn't mean a downturn of your country... ;)

Friends and Buddies

In one's life, there are tons of passerby, ranging from Hi & Bye acquaintances to people who developed a close bond towards each other. However, one thing that I always believe, every paddle thrown into the pond to create a ripple, it basically increase the level a little higher. So life is about learning and to be learnt. People come and go, foe or partners, you still grow from them.

From a user of long time Friendster to nowadays Facebook, I realize a fact, people are not as unfriendly they looked. It is so sweet to receive a smile from a stranger or a nice morning from people whom most people might classified as Mr/Ms Tau! It is a sweet gesture and after all, no men an island!

There are people who said that it was all due to how you look that draw the strangers to you. I do admit that appearance does play a part. People only cares about people who cares about themselves! As said, eyes is the window to the soul, thus appearance should be the passport to the soul… It might be shallow and superficial but well, it is true! Of course everyone got friends who are unfortunate looking but in the first place, to have something more than just a friend, usually you will think twice won’t you?

There was a strange phenomenon that in Facebook, there are stranger who added you in as their friend list but never did bother to drop an email or even to say hi. The only conclusion that I can draw from this is like going to an arts museum. People love to appreciate fine arts but not to study it in details! Well, at least it is a positive self motivating action that people do like the pictures that I post inside my facebook! LOL

Whatever it is, one thing that I like to say is that cherish every moment of your life and of course, everyone who crosses your path in some ways. Drop them a note every now and then to tell them that you do care and think of them. May it be an email or a sms, friends are meant to be kept, not to be forgotten.

Alcoholic or/and Smoker?

I remembered back in the University days, I took a module called "Drugs & Society". It was really one of those modules that you could really benefit for life and the things that you learnt about is what you would encounter during your daily life style.

What defines an addiction? I recalled the lady AP was standing right in front and the only thing that she said, "An addiction = withdrawal Syndrome". When there is an addiction, there will be some recognizable features arising if the desired item has been removed.

Well, why am i talking about this in my irony blog? Yesterday night, I was out with my usual group of friends for a drink and a harsh discovery hit me when a important friend of mine started to get drank again and even lost a nice cigarette case that he got. He feels that he could only sleep better when he drinks, he chooses to hangout with his group of friends for a drinking session instead of picking up his loved ones, alcohol runs thru his vein weekly and he started to get high and eventually losses a certain level of reaction to things, causing the case to be missing. He might not be a hard-core alcoholic but yet again, do you ever says that having a small patch of rashes is not a symptom of skin problem?

He is a really nice and sincere guy but when someone who could not do without a cigarette between his fingers and required a weekly doze of alcoholic essence, it might indicate otherwise. This is indeed an irony, an irony that he wants to shower his concern for his loved ones but then again, what kind of love could he provide? Second hand smoke? Or an unconscious mind that holding a Chivas is like the status of liberty holding on to her torch? Both doesn't help.

What should I do? Talking about it doesn't help. Proposing solution isn't heed. Boycotting only made me look unreasonable. Well, maybe, one fine day, he will learn. Learning it the hard way and eventually the painful way where nicotine and alcohol will only deteriorate the situation.

Alcoholic + Smoker = Bleakness

Insecurity, for the cute or for the ugly???

I kind of getting sick and tired of people saying that it is really insecure to be dating a cute looking guy. Not that I am really that good looking, but all thanks to my well cultured Yak Essence and the well maintained Loh Cradle, I'm not unfortunate looking... LOL

There are two sides to a coin as always. One always say that to date a good looking guy is always a risk of him running away with other as competition is strong. Thus, insecurity is suppose to be with the less attractive looking one. However, has one thought of it the other way round?

If a person is good looking or cute, he should have a certain view on looks and appearance. Hence, if he is attracted to the other guy, the other guy should be really great looking as well. Besides, isn't it a bonus to be out with a cute or handsome looking boyfriend or husband where everyone will kind of jealous of you? Why should one always think of otherwise? If one is to say that a cute looking person is always "hit on" by others, it is in fact, true that he got hit on so many times that he feel like practically a "sex object" to others. Because of that, he should be the one who is insecure about himself as he had seen the worst of all. One just wanted a simple life and a simple partner, looks is secondary.

So, back to square one, one has to have faith in themselves, parents gave you the pleasant look, education gave you the logical thought and lastly, god gave you the heart, not to just keep the pulse from beating, but the faith to endorse.... to have faith in yourself.

Take home message, If you can tame a lion, that makes you stronger than a lion.
