Happy Hari Raya

happy hari raya to all the muslims celebrating this festive occasion irregardless of whether you're in the mood or you're too overjoyed. it signifies the end of the month long fasting period but of course, a gentle reminder is to watch..ur waistline. After all, we're talking about one month of controlled dieting and then boom...hari raya comes and there is an array of food begging us to gorge on. Well, go crazy with all the cookies (im talking about myself here..unfortunately) and eat those delicious hari raya dishes because I doubt you want to offend those who took the time and effort to cook (uhm..especialy if that someone is your own mum). But later, practise self control the next day onwards..hehe..

oh well...like ive said it's not a good month for me. Hopefully things will get better..as i've always hoped. I know GOd is also there helping me tide over my difficult period..in ways that He can no matter how small those gestures are...I reallie appreciate it. It's also hard to be in between two parents that are just as stubborn headed as each other and Im more often is the scapegoat. My mum just need to know that she herself is not perfect that shes practically abandoning her wifey duties to my father but that she thought he deserves it coz he's not working and not giving her any income.

You know what..I really dont know what to say about that except that I try to not to think too much about it. I've got other more important things to contemplate about and that matters most. Sometimes I dont know who is acting the role of a sensible adult..them or me. I feel that there is a reversal of roles and that Im too young to have this burden on me. I am much better off planning to save up for further studies rather than to think if I have enough money to last for my family for the next few days.

Sometimes the way people say things like it is so easy to accomplish being young and all and it will be a waste for me if I dont think about my future. Believe me I do think about it but just that current circumstances dont allow me to do wat I want to do. Give me time and I know things will get better..I just know it will.

So I just have this request for people to not ask me questions like why this or why that...I understand that they dont know my plight so it is easy to assume so thats fine. But it can be a bore when I am being questioned the same thing over and over again. I guess i have to slowly learn to tolerate it..haiz....

Alright...once more...enjoy your hari raya...

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

Being Broke AF, Phone Stopped Working & All Other Misery

So it hasn't been a great week last week. I was broke af and I was barely surviving although I managed to have some money I received from my online shop which helped me to stay afloat at least a day or two. And then the cycle starts again until Saturday where thankfully my brother got his salary earlier so he gave me my portion. Honestly, I was so poor I couldn't buy the bread, which was already discounted by the way, because it would exceed the budget that I had. Did I feel good about it? Of course not. But I didn't let it go to my head because it would just amplify my misery. I just tell myself that I will get over it.  Also, I don't want to be in this situation again because it's just not pleasant. But it does make me more  aware of what I should be doing to not be that broke again. I know that I could possibly be in that situation again which makes me more determined to not move backwards but look forward instead.  Oh and to add on to my misery, my phone s...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
