Everyday Is A Beautiful Day

because you're here with me :)

People keep wondering why I travel to and forth from UPM to Bangsar everyday. Some says it's a waste of time. Some say it's a waste of money. Some says it's a just plain pointless. Why not stay in KTP when I have classes every every morning?

Isn't it obvious?

Maybe it's hard for those who are not in my shoe to see it, but for me, nothing beats being home, waiting for my big pig pig to knock on the door. Seeing him standing at the doorway with his baby-cute-face and formal clothes, giving him a big hug even when he is sometimes sweaty as a pig, giving him a big kiss.. Nothing beats that.

And of course, waking up every morning to listen to the sound of him showering, the buzz from his electronic shaver, the smell of his "fire-extinguisher" as I call it, the smell of his peanut butter breath ;) and his every so often morning hugs and kisses.. What beats that?

And I want to experience that every morning and every night of my life.

Just yesterday, we had such an awesome piggy chilling time. An unexpected pig time is always a bonus! My big pig pig works real hard, with long hours. He rarely have time to even do anything apart from work. But that never keeps us apart for long. He always come home to me, always make time to chill with me, always there for me :) My sweet pig.

I'm so proud of him. He's dedicated, he's determined, he's really isn't a guy who gives up easily. He never gives up. Even when time are very tough and difficult. And that make him the best source of inspiration for many, especially me.

Yesterday was an unexpected piggy time and I had such a good time! We went for lunch at Spaghetti Grill, eating while watching a football match (such a sport fan my piggly pig), chit chat away in piggy language, went to the Sony Exhibition where he introduced me to his colleagues (I basically met all of the people he works with!), chit chat some more, went to the office to get his notes (more colleagues to be introduced) and finally went to Dome for some lekker ice-blended coffee!

My pig always treats me to nice things, introducing me to all the delicacies, fun stuff, trying new things together. He knew how much I love ice blend, and I must say, those in Dome is delicious!!! With chunk of chocolate on top, with bits of chocolate in the ice blend! Best coffee I ever had :) Of course, the price is pretty much the "best" one I had too but as my piggy love to say, he likes treating his kleine vet to something nice :) *soft kisses for my pig!*

And then we went to KL Sentral where he meets up with his team to check how things are doing, where I get to meet more of his colleagues ;)

Then, my big pig pig gotta shoot off for work :)

Everyday IS a beautiful day when I get to spend it with you, piggy pig! Ik hou so van je vette big :* And yes, I couldn't be happier that I met you.. X

Why So Angry?

I'm a person who seldom gets mad, or angry or furious. Most of the time, if something gets to me, I'm just upset, disappointed, and sad. It's a really rare occasion when I do get mad. And when that happens, I get REALLY really mad.

Yesterday started off do well. I manage to register all my courses for next semester without much hassle which happened for the past three semester. I feel great. I feel good. Just a bit tired.

Towards the end of the day. The whole world came crashing down OR I think it's better to refer it as the volcano erupted.

Professor Madya Dr. Jamil Bojei, has finally reported me regarding my attendance. Despite having seen him (two time) to state my reason and even providing letter and try to negotiate with him, he is very unwilling to accept my letter. He is dooming a student for very real very vivid very predictable failure. Of the course that is.

Reason being is he is just following protocol and procedure. I understand that. But why the HELL would you not accept my letter? Just because I handed it to you after the holidays? Well, I did specifically told my classmate about this. But did you ask about me? I don't think so. No. Well, giving you the benefit of the doubt, even if you did, turns out the classmate I was referring to earlier just kept silent.

You're just not a very sociable lecturer. You come to class, and do your work. That it. All by the book. Do you know that procedure is dead and that being human is alive? Why follow the dead so intently and dedicatedly? Have you no mercy or sympathy?

To be exactly 80% attendance, one could not be absent less than 9 hours. In total I have 12 hours, (6 of them accounted for by the latter) which totaled in only 6 hours that I miss from your class.

I would understand fully if I am fail for my lack of knowledge but please, do NOT fail me for my lack of presence.

I am so mad, I really hope and wish awful things to happen to you. I did.

But to think I let this made me so angry. It's just a waste of my time and effort and energy.

I hope you feel satisfy with yourself for doing this. Maybe you will feel morally and ethically right for doing so. I seriously don't mind you reporting me, but why don't you take into account the letter? Why do you have to sign my fail form?

Now I just wish you would hurry up and report this so I could talk and negotiate with the Dean as soon as possible and get the outcome. I hope he is more a humane and kind person than you are.

On second thought, I would not have been so pisses if I fail this course. I could just retake it. But what pisses me real bad is YOU are the only lecturer who seem to be teaching this course. Something I would really not do again. I just don't want to see your face even longer than I have to.

I have no ill feeling about you now. I did yesterday. But I'm cool off now.

ps: He did this to 6 other student in his class -shake head-

I pray you have a happy life.

Shame: A Question Mark

You know, I never understood that word. Maybe you can say that I´m shameless. I have never felt shame in my life. Something that I´m ashamed of. But..

Do I?

I made a lot of mistakes before, as I´m sure a lot of you has. To er is human. And being a fellow human myself, I´ve made my share.

I never regret. I don´t then, I don´t now.

If I could do it over again, I would have chosen the same path because I like the way I am now, and how my life is.

I have made the mistake of indulging my stubbornness.
I have made the mistake of indulging my desire.
I have made the mistake of being ignorant.
I have made the mistake of believing what is so obviously wrong is right.

If I have to count the deadly sins, I would have undoubtedly strike PRIDE and LUST and a little bit of Gluttony and Sloth.

I should practice more virtues instead!

Vice Virtue
Lust Chastity
Gluttony Temperance
Greed Charity
Sloth Diligence
Wrath Patience
Envy Kindness
Pride Humility

A wrong perception, a wrong interpretation.

In the end, maybe I am ashamed of how wrong my judgement can be.

I´m at peace with it.

There´s a saying that, I don´t know if I had quoted it before, but I´ll quote it again.

"A person is never good if they weren´t bad before".

I was ignorant then. I try not to be now.

With my honest, sincere, lekkere, mooie, good-natured, heart of gold piggy with me, I´m sure I´ll be an angel in no time!

I have everything I needed :)

In a way, I´m changing. I´m more humble, less idiotic and a whole lot clear minded. Like I´ve said before, what else can I ask for when I have my kleine vetje with me? :)

-Keeping my finger crossed!-

A Chat With A Friend

I had a chat with a friend today. We chat through some lousy food at MV foodcourt, delicious cake at a black-out Secret Recipe's shop and unhealthy food at McDonald's. I still think we should have taken sushi! Healthy food, good for the stomach and unlimited supply of green tea!

But that's not the point.

Our chat is the point. Quote Mr Freddy Teo :-

Freddy:

I learn this in a leadership seminar.

Okay, imagine you're James Bond. Let's say you're in a dark alley and you're ambush by three big huge guys with knives and guns. They want to kill you. What are you going to do?

Stand and fight? Or run?

After evaluating the situation (I said run).

Okay, so you'll run. After running for a while, the alley turned left. What are you going to do?

Turn left.

You kept running until you reach a dead end but there's a built in ladder up the tall wall. What will you do?

Climb up the ladder.

After climbing up the ladder, you see a light. A door at the opposite side of the wall opened. What are you going to do?

Jump across.

So there you are in the room when the door lock shut behind you, leaving the three armed men behind.

Now the walls in the room started to closed in.

Closer and closer. 1 meter apart now.

Suddenly a hole opened up on the floor just right in front of you. But the hole is full of shit. Yet, there's still space for you to stand without drowning in shit. What are you going to do?

Jump in.

Now you're in a hole full with shit. The hole closes.

What do you feel?

Sue Ann:

Claustrophobic. I feel like crap, I feel stupid. I hate being here. I don't want to be here.

Freddy:

Where do you want to be?

Sue Ann:

Anywhere but here.

Freddy:

Why?

What if I tell you that being in the shit is the best place you could possibly be?

Sue Ann:

?

Freddy:

You see, the hole full of shit is your only available option at that time. What else can you do? You have no other option than the hole full of shit.

Sue Ann:

And your point is?

Freddy:

People are often unhappy because they always think that they could have done better. They could have did this, did that. Go here, go there. But what they don't know is, what they are now, or what they have done, is like James Bond ending up in the hole of shit. There's no other options. This is your only feasible option.

Sue Ann:

(For argument sake, I love to argue) But there's always choice. There HAVE to be choice no matter what in the beginning. And you have to choose. And what you choose is what happen to you now. What do you mean by no other option? For example, James Bond choose to run not to fight. If he had chosen to fight, he may not end up in a hole full of shit.

Freddy:

Correct. Human nature always teach us to choose we thought is best for us at that certain point of time. James Bond thought that he'll be better off running than fight off three huge men with knives and guns. He may end up dead for all he knows. So he decided.

Can't you see? When faces with a choice, people ALWAYS choose what they think is their best alternative. So in the end, it's their only choice.

For example, people are always complaining about something. But (majority of them) if you look back, and check out your options, you'll realized that you could do nothing better. That was your only feasible option.

This seminar does not teaches us 'How to do Better' but 'Be Happy with What You Do'.

Sue Ann:

So in this argument, people always choose what they think is right for them at that moment of the life? Meaning to say, you should regret what you did. If this is how it's supposed to be, why regret?

Hey, this is already what I believe in anyway. No regrets ;) I don't need a leadership seminar to teach me that. Unlike you. (And here the mocking goes on, which is uninteresting unless you want to hear what can be mocked about Mr Freddy Teo)


---


The moral of the story is, just be happy with who you are and what you turn out to be. If whatever things that befalls you (good or bad) did not, you would not have become who you are now. Just embrace what is, IS. And live your life with no regrets.

Be happy.

And know you'll always choose what's best for you.

Trust yourself and your judgement.

For better of worse, You made that choice :)
