one Tuesday in July 2016

What makes you happy?

Just simple joy?

A smile to your face? Right now?

At times, you could be so tired, that tired from life, that moving that one inch of face muscle seems like a drab

Shopping for clothes? Accessories?

Looking pretty in them?

Having a slim, fit , healthy body?

Having fabulous skin?

Yes, the epitome of a healthy & balanced lifestyle

You work to earn, earn and spend

Going for vacations?

Holidays .. months on end?

I had that before.. Not having to work. On hind thought, not having work.

But it was a holiday to me nevertheless

Stayed home and not traverse the world

It was my holiday nevertheless

It was priceless .. no other experience could replace that

It might not have been the cleverest or brightest choice to make, but it was the right choice for me then. And I made it.

Going away, getting away from the mundane

Buying things, spending money and acquiring stuffs

These are but temporary measures

Effective though once in a while,

Keep them effective by doing them only once in a while

What about everyday life then?

Don't look at Facebook posts so much

They too, only post those once in a while happy posts

Don't be fooled into thinking that they have a clue everyday

Now, Tuesday... what should I do? What should I do with you?

3:41am , 7 November 2015

It suddenly got me thinking, yes, at this hour while I'm getting ready for bed..

We all have these friends on Facebook..

The health & fitness buff:

They check in their runs, they share the latest announcements on coming runs, they even share a neighbor country's latest volcanic ash spews (mountain hiking kaki maa...)

The do-gooder, kindness preaching philosophy advocate:

They share multiple images of wellbeing, kindness, self-contentment, empowering quotes and pictures, at multiple times a day, multiple days of the week.

The emo-attention seeker extrovert that claims they are in fact gifted & 'one-of-a-kind' introverts:

They share the latest news articles from overseas news dailies (overseas news are faster, and more credible.. they just don't do locals. And when they do, they strike these local news hot & fast will a plethora of I-know-it-better & I-told-you-so),

they do all sorts of personality quizzes that claim individuality but are in fact 3-types of rigid categorizing of a myriad of human personalities.

The child, property, safety know-hows & videos buff:

Count on them to share the latest (and sometimes not so latest) videos on carjacking, child kidnap attempts, robbery-at-gate videos, lost son/ lost daughter/ lost pets (from don't know when & whether they'd been actually found & recovered).. just share first, better safe than sorry maa...

Ok wait, I don't want to drag on lest I be labeled The Bored Hoarder Who Thinks She's Never Done Any Of The Above..

Oh wait, you mean to say you really don't have friends like the above, and it's only me?

Guess it's about time to drop some of my Facebook friends then...

58th

This merdeka day celebrations,.. there's no feel to it at all

In years past, we'd crowd around awe-inspiring TV commercials with focus on racial unity and gratitude to our forefathers who brought this nation into one

But this merdeka, our 58th, is marred with something more important

A current issue at hand, a pressing one that is on top of (most of) everyone's list

Where past anniversaries served as run-of-the-mill annual reminders to fortify our unity and instill gratituity,

This year's marks a different awakening of sort.. there will be a rally. Voices want to be seen and heard..

Are we finally progressing through another threshold as a nation?

Right.. for what it's worth, things could go either way, still, I'd like to call it a progress.

At the very least, we are moving forward..

Let it be known to the world.

(｡-_-｡)

Yep.. Our time here on earth, alive, really is limited

So why am I even worrying endlessly on work now?

Go to sleep, jen.. Go to sleep.

And if you must dream tonight, only sweet ones then.

我好好。。。

Refusing to sleep at night..

Refusing to get up in the morning..

Too much temptation in the night..

Too much to-do in the morning..

Too much throwing caution to the wind at night..

Too much positive self-psyche in the morning..

So much calmness in the night, so much music to stick into the ears at night..

Too much jamness in the morning, so much rush.. Rush to work, rush for parking spot, Rush for work to be done.. When silly me already know, they can never be Done done.

。。。
