Twisties in ROOM!

I don't know how to say this
I shouldn't...

But I accidentally
And my eyes spotted them on the tray

Tucked away on the tier-trays beside the bed
there were tons of them
an army of them
ranging from different brands
Twisties was the one I remembered

Oh my, is this for real
tell me I didn't just see that
I feel guilty
I shouldn't have turned my head

Is it wrong to have accidentally peeked into the room
And saw those trays
Can I control my imagination or my wild thoughts after seeing that?
It's my wrong
I really shouldn't have looked there

I should've just focused and open my own door
Put my bag down and read my book

And continue with my daily routine like usual
And not be bugged by the disturbing image of those junkies tucked away there

But then again, had I not
Will I then know
that this is true
It is the reality

That my housemate is a JUNKIE!
and she keeps her junks in her room!!

I want the Coffee Bean!

I have something very interesting to share today; hope it is motivational and enjoyable..because I know I did enjoy it so much that I have decided to take some time and effort to share this *smiles*

Let's begin the story with the introduction of our cast:
The Carrot, the Eggs and the coffee bean




Now, we put three pots of water over the fire


In the first pot, put in the carrots


In the second pot, put some eggs


In the third, you guessed it; put in the coffee bean (which have been grounded into coffee powder)


Boil all the three pots for 15 minutes and then, take out whatever that you have put in earlier.

Observation 1:
The carrots went in hard, they are now soft


Observation 2:
The eggs went in soft on the inside and now, they are hard inside


Observation 3:
The coffee powder has disappeared


But the water, on the other hand has the color and the wonderful scent of coffee (think freshly-brewed coffee!)


Now, after doing that ridiculous experiment and having your observations, take a moment and think of life in general

Life is not always easy
Life is not always comfortable
Sometimes, even, life is very hard


Things don't happen when we wish
People don't treat us like we hope

We work very hard but get not much of a result
What happens when we face difficulties?

Now think and relate back to the pots we have just now


The boiling water is like the problems we faced in life

We can be like the carrots


We go in touch and strong


We come out soft and weak


We get very tired
We lose hope
We give up

There is NO MORE fighting spirit...

So, DON'T BE LIKE THE CARROTS!

We can be like the eggs


We start with a soft and sensitive heart


We end up very hard and unfeeling inside


We hate others
We don't like ourselves

We become hard-hearted (heartless)
There is no warm feeling, only bitterness

So, DON'T BE LIKE THE EGGS!

We can be like the Coffee Bean


The water does not change the coffee powder
The coffee powder changes the water!!


The water has become different because of the coffee powder

See it, smell it, drink it

The hotter the water, the better the taste!

We can be like the coffee beans



We make something good from the difficulties we face
We learn new things

We have new knowledge, new skills, new abilities


We grow in experience


We make the world around us better


To succeed, we must try.... and try again
We must believe in what we are doing
We must not give up
We must be patient
We must keep pushing


Problems and difficulties give us the chance to become stronger...and better...and tougher


Ask yourself this

What are we like when things do not go well?

Are we like the carrot?


or the eggs...


or the coffee bean?


Let's ALL be like the coffee bean!!

And live happily ever after!!
*BIG SMILE ON FACE*

Is this the water for shower?

I was up early and was looking forward to an early, refreshing and invigorating shower and guess what, this is what I see from the shower..

Observe the color of the water


I thought it was for a while, and then 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes....it's still like yellow


This is the water still running from the hose and it's still looking all rusty and yellow!!...Or was it brown?


Is it me or is the water getting more and more murky?

Yeah, murky is definitely the word...I waited a whole 1 hour++ before I was confident enough to step into bath.
I am not sure what is wrong with the water here in Penang, it often springs surprises like this on you...

Well, I was horrified, terrified, traumatized, agonized, shocked, whatever....that I had to think twice of stepping into the bath that morning...

Now, TGIF was not really applicable...haha, on a happy cheery Friday morning like that one...
I can't believe that's the water used on your hair, body, face....YOWL! Get that out of my face....it can cause zits!

Crazy crazy Weather

The weather is really crazy these days

Suddenly it rains and then it stops
Then it shines so brightly
Then it loses that shine
And clouds come in temporarily
and then sun comes in again
Clouds are gone with the wind
But was there wind?

Then in the midst of the HOT sun
It RAINS!
How bizarre

Then the rain stops
It gets humid
Hot
then sun
then wind
then all gone with the wind
which probably didn't even exist in the first place

I guess the weather up here in the north is still much better than what we have in KL
It's so much hotter there
It's like a desert
Oh my...
the ASEAN countries are already convening on the possibilities of haze making the yearly comeback earlier this year
because of the dry dry dry weather

Have I mentioned how much I hate hot and dry weather?

I really love waking to the sound of rain every night recently; and I don't want to jinx it

I am really crapping in my blog, and it's all the fault of the crazy crazy weather

(I am going to post on my Penang tour guide job to my friends very very soon)

Long weekend again~!

I can sniff it in the air...what's that?
It's holiday time again...

Of course, we are not talking about summer vacation or a really long break; which is something we won't get since we have left the realms of school or university, and we are pathetically looking forward to the long weekends which actually only entails to an extra day off (either Monday or Friday) and we would rub our hands in glee to welcome its royal coming, something we used to scratch our heads and laugh with scorn at working people when we were back there in school.

How pathetic have we become...now we are the ones waiting in anxious anticipation for these extra-one-day weekend and we are already so happy we could actually sing songs of praises or thinking of throwing a major parade in town.
It really takes a long way to come to this pathetic conclusion, which I personally hope that the rest of the future generation shall find something else to rejoice in rather than an extra day which practically makes no difference.

Come 5 o' clock, and BAM! Reality sinks in as you know that's the end of that additional day, and time to get ready to go to work tomorrow...

Sighs, what sad lives we working people lead huh?

But anyway, this is not supposed to be a mourning or how-pathetic-we-have-become post, because no matter how true the above is, just count me in, because I just have been comfortably absorbed into the pathetic group and I do adore, worship even these 3-day weekends because it is just a nice break and relief from the crazy working schedules I face everyday.

So, to all the peeps out there, enjoy enjoy enjoy...
Even if you're not working yet and happen to think I am pathetic, well, find comfort in the fact that you will be one of us one day...
So embrace yourself to prepare for that fact...
And I look forward to welcome you in our group which is ever growing...


HAPPY WESAK DAY to the Buddhists and a happy happy weekend to everyone else =)

Enjoy, because the last I checked, the next long weekend will be in June to commemorate our ruler's birthday!

There is a Lie within Belief/Believe

Did you notice that "Lie" lies within the word "Believe"?

A friend of mine pointed it out to me some time ago and I find it really fascinating; an annotation that is so obvious yet dismissed by all.

Is there a lie when we believe?
How often have we found ourselves believing in someone/something only to find out in the end that it was all just a lie?
There was never a word of truth in it

How many times has someone told you to believe in him/her only to realize that he was lying from the very first point he told you to believe in him?

I find this annotation so frighteningly and interestingly accurate.

I have found that believing can often lead you to further disappointments; and it's so funny that when we find it so hard to believe and yet when we really do believe in one, it turns out to be a lie.

It's sad, ain't it?

Not everyone is so believing; and for me, sometimes I do take time to trust and believe in someone
It takes a great deal of time and commitment before you can say you believe another person

Yet, when you have started to believe and you WANT to believe
the lie appears blatantly, just staring at you in the face
and you still deny that it is a lie
and continue to believe
In the end, we are bound to get ourselves hurt

It can't be helped I guess
When we believe, we have to accept the lie that comes with it

But why is it so hard for people to prove that we can truly believe/trust in them?
I do not want to lie..
It's hard to lie

I want to believe
But you have to MAKE me believe...

Cold, rainy weather

It's been raining for the past few days here in Penang, such lovely weather (besides the getting wet part, which I am not so keen)

It's really such a wonderful weather that you just want to curl under the sheets and read a really good book!
Awww...such bliss.....I am into this dreamy rainy weather...

Only thing is, it's really COLD.....

From the place where I stay, I can see the misty clouds and the gloomy skies so clearly since there was this huge mountain behind me

It rained so heavily yesterday; even the windows were banging...it's like typhoon in Malaysia now...scary!!!

I still love the rain, hope it will continue to rain, but not too much lar, don't want the floods to affect other unfortunate people *peace*
