Eh! Cat On Wheel?

It was just a week ago when my family and I walked out from the house before my cousin brother, William shouted, “Look! Look! There…”

 

Instantly, all of us turned our heads to the direction he pointed and we found this:

It’s a cat hiding on a lorry’s wheel.
Immediately all of us went LOL (laugh-out-out) and continued our attempt to the car.

 

However, I turned back while rummaging  for my camera in my handbag and I could still hear myself laughing at the funny cat. I snapped a few photos before making the move to our car. As I sank myself onto the car seat, I detected stinky smell in the car. And…. it was from my sandals.

 

I must have accidentally STEPPED ON DOG’s DROPPING while snapping the cat!
Ehhhhhwwww…..

 

Well, it doesn’t end there. I got fever at night. Dad said, I must have got too frighten with the dog’s shit. I think, it must have been the cat’s cursing – cos I was laughing at it. LOL.

 

Anyway, I have recovered. Again, what a cute cat on wheel. I bet it must be doing meditation at that moment.. =P

Love Comes When You’re Ready

I was touched listening to my friend’s latest update last night, about her new love journey with a potential guy.

 

She cheerfully said,
“Kelly, I am really happy. Really.”

 

Well, I am not just happy because of her discovery of new love story, but also to be able to see her smile and getting excited again for love and life. There is nothing happier than knowing my friend is enjoying her life and counting blessing each day. That’s such a wonderful news!

 

It reminds me of my own experiences on the decision of finding my own happiness again, not just solely focusing on the search of Mr. Right of course. Before Mr. Right, you have to be Mrs Right, meaning that you have to focus and nurture your own needs first before giving your attention to others. (Related post: Experiences Are The Best Teacher)

 

That explains in Abraham Maslow’s Theory on his Maslow Hierarchy of Needs where we need to fulfill the most fundamental levels of needs before aiming for a higher stage (from psychological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization). If the basic is not nurtured and fulfilled, the feeling of emptiness and lost take place and you will be demotivated in reaching higher goals. That’s why in Counseling, client is encouraged to understand and work on his/hers needs before focusing on the bigger issue.

 

my love2

Cherish every single moment you have. Owned it.

 

That’s what I can see in my friend now. She has stopped her attempt in searching for the right guy. Instead, she left her old scars behind, start focusing on herself by watching her diet, groom herself, have fun with friends and enjoy doing things that she love. In the end of the day, it seems like the ‘right guy’ comes, knocking her door, waiting her to welcome him in to her life… *wink*

 

I feel life is miraculous. Don’t you feel so?
It keeps on giving hopes to people who believe that there is light in the end of every tunnel.


For instance, when you thought that all good guys (girls) are dead and you have no hope in finding one after so many attempts, God thoughtfully choose the right one, put him/her into a box, wrap it carefully with your favorite present paper, finalize it with a ribbon and carefully deliver it to your house. He even rang the door bell before he left the present. Haha.. I know it sounds so much like a children story where you find your present under your Christmas Tree in the next morning. Well, that’s how I visualize my friend’s and mine situation… =P

 

my love

My ‘present’ under the Christmas Tree =D

 

I truly believe in this blog post title, where ‘love comes when you are ready’. Also, love happens when you start to love yourself before sharing it with others.. =)

 

If you have something to share about your love journey, please share with us. I truly believe that every chapter of love and relationship is a gift for self-discovery and personal growth. Write to me at curryegg1[@]gmail.com.

 

I’m listening to:

 

P/s: Always believe that there is light in the end of the tunnel. Have faith =)

Sick & Bored

It is weird when a patient who is sick and ill says that she is bored. I mean, with all those vocabulary available in the dictionary, bored should never come into the picture.

 

But then, eggie really feels bored =((
I have been sleeping on the bed for 2 days and I feel so left-out and abandon. My family members are having fun while me, stuck in the house and with medication’s routine. I thought my travel back to hometown should be an enjoyable one.

 

medicine Just 2 weeks ago, I privately asked myself that, “Eh? It has been years I have not attacked by sickness hor?”. Darn. I shouldn’t have thought of that =_=

 

Blame to my constant craving in the search for Penang Asam Laksa ever since my first visit. I should have controlled and stopped myself. Now that I can’t eat other type of Penang cuisine, not even my favorite Nyoya Mooncakes. Ahhwww… Dad is going to finish them all if I don’t recover fast!

 

Anyway, I am lucky enough to have my ah kim’s (aunt) and ah ma’s (grandma) personal cares. They will always watch over my medication, diet and rest. This has reminded me about my 8 years of living with them back to my high school time. They are always being so caring and loving. I love them so much.. =))

 

Well, I think it is time for me to take another hours of sleep. The medicine is conquering my biological system again and I am starting to feel tired and sleepy. What to do, pergi tidur lor… Sob.

 

Did I ever tell you that, I am a type of person who don’t like to sleep? It happens ever since I was a child.

 

Lesson learned: Health is important. No matter how smart or wealthy you are, without good health, nothing works.

Life Isn’t Worth Living Unless..


Life isn't worth living unless you're willing to take some big chances and go for broke." - Eliot Wiggington.

 

 

So,

Don’t settle down for good but always aim for the best.
As life has taught me about its lifespan.
It is short but worth exploring.
As every experience will enrich your life.
So, listen to your heart and achieve your dreams.
Never let others’ voices drown your own,
No matter what will happen in future,
it’s you whom you have to answer.
Go and start living your dreams.
Plan and make moves.
As dream will remain as a dream.
when you don’t walk what you talk.

Unlocking The Mystery of 24

I am 24 by now.

 me

 

Well, there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to revealing my new age – yet.
Probably, it is because I still have the number of “2” in front of my age digit which unconsciously forcing my mind to assume that I am still young and I can have all the time that I want.

 

However, after stepping into this new age for 10 days, I feel the opposite. I don’t feel that young anymore as I know it’s time for me to step into the real world called ‘society’. No more day dreaming, no more laying at home, and no more excuse of being a degree student. It’s time.

 

journey3

I am only 1 year old =D

 

Time passes so fast that I feel like pausing or at least slowing it down. I am contented and happy with my life right now and people around me can feel my happiness when they witnessed my ‘weight-gained phenomena’. Gosh! Well, I hope things will stay permanent although I know, life wouldn’t allow it to happen. It constantly wants us to keep learning and growing by arranging tougher test each time we’d successfully tackled the previous one. I know it sounds greedy. But I can’t help as it’s  part of human’s nature to desire security.

 

journey1

Unstructured and complicated but very artistic roots. I want my life to be as adventurous as this tree’s roots.

 

There are fears as well as excitements when I am making my move into this new age as things will start to be different – very different in fact. For sure, it will be another transition of my life where I will enter the society, work in new environment, hold bigger responsibilities and make contribution.

 journey4

The city seems to have listened to my inner voice where it becomes quiet and romantic on my B-day. Less traffic with beautiful sky. Thank you =)

 

While sitting at this corner blogging about my future, I can’t deny that there is still a sense of fear and worry. The picture of ‘unknown’ is kinda scary. I don’t know how fast I can make adjustment. I don’t know how far my loved ones are able to adjust with my new life. I don’t know how capable am I in facing the new challenges.

 

Kung-Fu-Panda-Master-Oogway-talking-with-Po One of my favorite parts of the movie.

 

At some points, I know there is no use to worry about the future as no one is able to predict the future (except God). This has reminded me about a quote from Kung Fu Panda (2008) which I recently re-watched with Calv:

 


Po
(panda): Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.

Oogway: Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

 

 

I don’t know what kind of life am I leading to but I am eager to explore and make good use of every experience I encounter. I still remember the dreams that I have owned since many years ago. I believe in everything happens for a reason(s). So, there is no use to be too worried, right?

 

After all, life is too short to be wasted with worries. Why not just let my 24th journey unlock by itself.
