What's cookin ?

Photobucket

Like every person in this world, happiness is something I do like to achieve in my life. And like products, I do come with an expiry date. When that expiry date will be, only God knows coz' only He knows. Like every person, I do wish to fill the time I have with peace, contentment and colorful experiences. Before my 'expiry' date is up, I do wanna make sure I 'expire' happily.

I guess I'm blessed (or cursed , whichever way you look a it) that I'm able to compartmentalize my feelings and not let it affect one another. We all have problems whether at work or wherever. The ill feeling accumulated can be stressing, and thus make it hard to mask it away from people. I prefer to not let petty things that can be a waste of time stop me in my pursuit for peace. I don't understand why little things can be constructed into an explosive device.

Sometimes it can be unavoidable that no matter how hard you try to move on and make the best of your time, you get sucked back into the negative zone. It can be bothersome, often times hard to deal with. So I just suck it all in like a vacuum cleaner with no way to let it out. I can't let it out, no way. If I were a Transformer, Teletraan-1 would scan me as a vacuum cleaner due to my personality traits. Codename: Absorber.

I'm at a place where nobody gives peanuts about anybody but themselves. Everything is like a competition, a race. To where? I dunno. .. perfection?

Hope

Photobucket

I do not know what the future holds. I do not know how successful I will be . I do not know how long I will live . I do not know how much money I will have . I do not know if I will have eyes to see , ears to hear , mouth to speak/taste , nose to smell and lungs to breathe.

But I do know that I will hold on to the most important things I want in life close to me. I do know that I must have faith , believe in it, believe in its potential. I do know that in every dark night , there is surely going to be a brighter day afterwards. I do know that I will be the happiest person on earth one day.

And last but not least, I do know that no matter what, I know I must believe that there is a God always beside me..

In pursuit of happiness

Photobucket

Money makes the world go round . More money more problems . The list goes on..

How can these sheets of paper have such a profound effect on people's lives? Money can be a source of joy and sorrow. Many of us like to pursue careers and opportunities that can help them generate more money to achieve happiness. Well its a no brainer right? Money does get you a whole lot of things and to places of your desire.

What concerns me is that we tend to seek material gains more than anything nowadays that we neglect other equally important things in life. We intentionally put pressure on ourselves to push hard at work to earn extra $$ just to get them. Some people I know seem to be always unhappy with their lives for no obvious reasons. They envy people around them all the time.

My point of view is that you will never be a happy person if you don't learn how to appreciate what you have. When you constantly crave for something you don't have, that's when the frustration kicks in. That is also the time when all the built up frustrations make you become unhappy. I feel that if we try to learn and appreciate what we have and do things within our capacity we will feel more fulfilled in life.

If you earn a measly RM2000-3000 a month , act and spend like you earn that much. The problem comes in when you strive for a lifestyle that only a person who earns RM10,000 and above has. You will never be happy. Period.

So people please be reasonable in your pursuits for happiness and don't get too carried away. Learn to appreciate what we have and be grateful to God. You gotta thank the Big Guy up there you know :).
Recap

Only after I've noticed when my last post was (dated back during Ramadhan month) , I realised how long I've been out of blogging . I was like ' hmm..it's been that long ?' .

Nevertheless to summarize things up :

Family, especially to my parents -> Selamat Hari Raya . Although this year's raya have been very low-keyed due to the passing of a dear cousin, I'm glad we had time to regroup and spend time like family :).

My sayang -> Hope you enjoyed the birthday dinner and special present :). Thank you for fulfilling one of my wish list (she got me 'World War Hulk' TP man..) . Let's hope next year will be better ... and *cough* PS3 ... :P

The fellas -> I am happy to see the level of improvement in Winning Eleven , displayed during our very few but exciting encounters hehe.. May the Hari Keluarga tradition lives on ! (cue angry stare from girlfriends ...)

How's things? things have been pretty 'imbalanced'. Getting back all my weekends back to balance out my life this month. Amazing how much time I've spent at work. Expect more posts soon.

Til all are one....
