Happiness

Got this in an email from mom today... kinda like the simpleness of truth in it :)

One day, the young lion asked his mom: "Mom, where is the happiness?"

Mom replied: "It's on your tail."

So the young lion keeps on chasing after his tail. But after a whole day of trying, he failed to get the happiness that was on his tail.

Then he told his mom about this, his mom smiled and said: "Son, you don't really need to chase after your happiness, as long as you keep going and moving forward, your happiness will always be with you."

You can't decide the length of life, but you can control how you want to live it.

You can't control the weather, but you can control your mood.

You can't change your look, but you can smile.

You can't control others, but you can control yourself.

You can't foresee tomorrow, but you can utilize today wisely.

You can't win everything, but you can try your very best to achieve that.

Six Months

Time does fly when you're having fun. Yes I know some of my previous posts were pretty negative but then with ups of course there are downs. I guess I just have to learn to deal and make the best out of it.

Today is six months we've been together. I'm counting my blessings. He is indeed a wonderful person and the most giving I've known.

This is us when we first got together... in September 2008


And this is us recently... in March 2009

I love you... you're worth every bit of it... <3

English?

The debate on whether Science and Mathematics should be taught in English has been at the tips of every one's tongues, yet again. After having implementing this system for about 10 years already, the debate is still going on.

Why?

Because they're afraid of losing out. They're afraid that they will lose their culture. Lose their language. Lose their roots. Lose who they really are.

Being Asian, I truly understand the concern. I too believe that you should be true to your roots. Most people would call me a 'banana' - yellow on the outside, white on the inside. That is partially true. But I beg to differ. I grew up speaking English as my first language because my parents didn't speak the same Asian language or dialect. Unlike most others, I speak Mandarin, English, Japanese, Malay and several local dialects fluently.

But what I don't understand is if you want to retain Bahasa Melayu as a proper language, bloody use it as a proper language.

Pick up any Malay newspaper these days and you will notice how many words they borrow from the English language. Countless.

Unfortunately, the Malay language will look sooner or later look like misspelt English.

Realism becomes Realisme. Definition becomes Definisi. Artist becomes Artis. Zoom becomes Zum. Guitarist becomes gitaris. Activity becomes aktiviti. Dance becomes Dansa. Gangsterism becomes Gangsterisme. Revolution becomes revolusi. You get my drift... and the embarrassing list goes on.

So if you're worried about losing out on a language because of these two subjects in school, you people are barking up the wrong tree. You should be more worried about building and preserving the language itself. You should be more worried for the originality of the words chosen for the language. You should be more worried about strengthening the language. You should be more proud of being a speaker of the language and not wanting to sound more foreign.

I'm proud to speak the Malay language. And I'm proud to say I speak it fluently too. Are you?

(Note : The Malay language is relatively a new language as compared to most languages in the world. A number of words were derived from olden languages like Sanskrit, Portuguese and Dutch - since Malaysia was once under their rule.)

Losing faith in faith?

My favorite line in life has always been "Have faith in faith, because faith has faith... in you," a line I always remember from the movie Senseless (1998). I always felt that it was true.

Who are we to give up on faith because faith always has faith in us, whether we see it or not. It's like claiming that we don't believe in God or a higher existence for this matter. Who are we to proclaim that God doesn't exist? Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Much as the atheists want to deny that they don't believe in God, I'm sure they know deep down inside that there is one... just that there's not much proof... and given no proof, the lawyer in them say that they don't believe.

Somehow or rather, I'm beginning to lose faith in men. Don't get me wrong. I love him. I care for him a lot more than I think that I do. But I just don't have faith in men any more. I'm very cautious and suspicious about every single thing they do. I'm even skeptical about the whole relationship thing. In one of my earlier posts, I found one of the notes posted about men quite true. Men are intensely loyal, but will stray because of sheer stupidity. Sad to say, I believe in that. I hate to say this, but guys can be the most loyal people in the world, but it only takes a little bit of temptation... and that's it. I'm not saying women aren't any better, but I feel that the damage that men do in this case are WAY worse than the damage women do...

Why? I've seen it happen one too many times to people around me and people that I love and people that I never thought would do such emotionally damaging actions. And it's happened to me. With someone whom I trusted, loved and cared. Someone whom I thought would never hurt me. People say, it's the people closest to you which will hurt you the most - I think that's true. It's because of the emotional ties that bind.

I'm not saying that he's hurting me or that he's a bad person but in a way, he has failed to fully give me that sense of security that I need.

I know that he loves and cares for me. But there's this gut feeling that I have which is telling me to be careful because he is indeed one of a kind. He will do things that normally other people will not do... as you might have read in an earlier post that he had shared a bed with another girl (an ex-girlfriend from his college years to be specific) while he was with me. To him, he had done nothing wrong because they're just friends. To me and quite a bit of the world, it was an outrage. Common sense tells you to NOT be in single company with someone of the opposite sex without your other half and especially NOT in a confined/private area and especially not to share a bed.

In our first month of the relationship, I had complete trust. But it was that incident that spurred the green eyed monster in me. Because of that action which I felt was disrespectful to me as a girlfriend, I had begun to suspect and doubt him when it comes to someone of the opposite sex and especially your ex girlfriends.

He has this good quality about him though. He doesn't keep it in himself for long. He forgives and forgets. That's why he's still in touch AND on good terms with all his ex girlfriends. How he does it? I don't know. He's a much bigger person than I am because I know I cannot do it, not without any emotional ties.

We've never really spoken of our past. Well, he's mentioned her once in a while, I've never mentioned Andy - at all. I don't expect him to, because what's in the past is in the past. Whatever happened back then has helped us shape us into the person that we are now and the person that we fell in love with. Plus I don't want to open a can of worms. But somehow, at the back of my head, I think it's important that we do. So that we understand the other person better. So that we will be able to trust the other person better.

Recently I've noticed this gut feeling which tells me he's back in touch with her. Because this is probably the time that he's forgiving her for the stuff that she's done to him and to let her back into her life... and I hate gut feelings. Because 10 out of 10 times you know your gut is right no matter how much you want to deny it, and the more you deny it, the harder it hits you where it hurts most.

And I hate it. I hate being jealous. I hate feeling hate. It's such a horrid feeling.

He wrote the song "Teardrops" last year in November near his birthday. When he first wrote it, he told me it's about two robots communicating and that one's a guy robot and the other's a girl robot. We were short of two months in our relationship then. I thought it was too soon for him to be writing a song about us. Then later when he was done, he named the song "Teardrops" which then hit something in my gut - I was right, it's not about us.

Two weeks ago, he told me that the original inspiration for Teardrops was a broken heart. That hit another string in my gut. Later, he told me he wanted vocals for the song and started to brainstorm for lyrics and asked me for help. That's when it became disheartening. Because he is a very emotional person. He does things based on emotions. That's how he expresses himself and Teardrops is a good example. Part of his lyrics are "I thought our love was true.... these tears I cry for you,"

I am emotional too... sometimes I think he fails to see that...

Maybe the song is a push for him to move on. Maybe he needs to get it off his chest. Maybe this is a way for him to get closure and let go.

Maybe he still misses her.

After all, he did buy a ring to propose to her even when he wasn't entirely ready to marry her but he didn't want to lose her. He thought of converting and even thought of a name for himself... and his kids names. Unfortunately for him, when he did try to propose to her, he found out that she was cheating on him - with her superior.

I know he wants to stop hating her. I know he wants to forgive her. He's tried prior to this but she wanted to hurt him. But I don't trust other women. Especially not when they're my boyfriend's ex girlfriend, and I'm sorry hun, I don't trust you around her because I don't trust her around you. She knows which buttons to push to get to you and I don't like it.

I hate to say this, I don't even trust myself around my ex boyfriends. Who am I to say that I won't cheat on you with an ex, let alone you cheat on me with an ex?

That is why I distance myself from them. That is why I distance myself from Andy completely. I do that out of respect for him as my boyfriend. I've had my heart broken by him before, and I know how much it hurts, and I don't want to inflict that pain on anyone I love and care about... and especially not my puppy. So in my case, it's better safe than sorry.

I'm sorry. But I just cannot trust myself completely to trust you when it comes to her mainly because I do not trust her at all. There probably isn't much you can do about it except to distance yourself from all of them and I know it's not fair for me to impose that on you but that is what I feel.

If you want to run back to her, give me a heads up. Because we both know how bad a broken heart can be especially one that sprouts from no trust.

It could be my paranoia. I have lost so many people in my life and I don't like for it to happen again. I know it's impossible to not have it happen because whether we like it or not, we still lose people in life. So right now what I'm doing is prevention. Because a broken heart is very hard to cure... and we both know it....

I know that we Pisceans and Scorpions flow the best together. But are we lying to ourselves? We both jumped into this relationship after having our hearts broken. Were we taking each other as a rebound so fill up the void in our lives? Or did fate and faith place us together for real?
My only love sprung from my only hate,
Too early seen unknown and known too late
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
that I must love a loathed enemy.
- Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
You're not a loathed enemy, hun. I did not start off hating you, but I have to admit that I was very skeptical. What Shakespeare said in Romeo and Juliet is true though. You only feel love and hate strongly because of the other. If not, you won't give a rats ass about the other person. There's a fine line between love and hate and they only exist because the other does. I only feel this much emotions because I care about you so much that it hurts.

We've lasted 5 months and 3 weeks. Time does fly and in this time I have learnt to love and care for you more than I thought I could or ever would. Time, love and patience has made you grow on me and me on you.

So please. Spare me the pain. If you love and care for me, don't make me cry any more... please help me clear this unnecessary negative feelings I am experiencing...

Dogs are male and cats are female

rRead this article in the papers this morning and I found it rather amusing... and surprisingly accurate. Somehow on the other hand... I think I'm still a bunny. Bunnies have attitudes which are kinda like felines... and let's face it, we ALL know I'm a bunny person :)

Dogs are male, cats are female

By Nury Vittachi

catdog
Here's more proof that children are highly insightful creatures. I gave a speech at a primary school yesterday and asked if there were any questions.

"Are all dogs boys?" a small, sticky child asked.

"Yes," I replied. "All dogs are male. Including girl dogs."

The child looked smug. Clearly he had been arguing this point with someone. I went on to explain that all cats were girls, including male cats.

I could see that the teacher was looking puzzled. So explained what I meant with a story.

*
In the beginning, Adam and Eve felt lonely.

So God told his angels to make them a creature for them. "Make it medium-sized, with four legs and a tail," God said. "You can call it a Pet."

The angels made the first pair of pets. They were cute but they were also very playful. They ran around heaven, hid under the sofas and scratched the furniture. Then they saw what looked like a pair of paddling pools. One jumped into the blue one and the other jumped into the red one.

But they were not paddling pools. They were vats of Male Essence and Female Essence.

After the angels fished them out, they noticed the Pets had changed.

One had become shaggy-haired, simple-minded and deep-voiced.

And the other had become sleek and complicated and whiney.

"Oops," said the angel. "We'd better classify these as two separate creatures."

They called one Dog and the other Cat.

*
This made perfect sense to the children. But later on, in the staff room, I had to explain what I meant to the teacher.

*

Proof that all dogs are male:

1. Dogs, like men, are completely predictable.

2. They are supremely interested in your nether regions and pathetically unable to hide this fact.

3. They don't respond when you shout in their ear, but they can hear the sound of a packet containing something consumable being opened a kilometer away.

4. If you once let them hog your sofa, they will feel like they own it.

5. They eat anything. Their basic philosophy is put stuff in their mouths first, ask questions later.

6. They are intensely loyal but sometimes stray through sheer stupidity.

7. When they are not happy, they don’t say anything, but sulk and growl and knock things over.

8. They emit large amounts of gas from both ends.

9. They often consume ill-advised items until they are sick, give you a sad "never again" look, and then do the same thing again the next day.

*
Proof that all cats are female:

1. They are completely unpredictable.

2. They expect to be worshipped all the time.

3. They look cute but are surprisingly tough-minded creatures who make all the decisions.

4. You can call them, but you never know if they will actually turn up.

5. They leave bits of their hair all over the place.

6. They completely ignore you when you come home.

7. They take the stance that you exist solely to ensure their happiness.

*
The teacher listened patiently, and then a rather guilty look appeared on her face. She pulled two sandwiches out of her bag. "I chose your lunch for you in advance," she said. "After all, women make the decisions, and men eat anything, right? Meow."

What could I reply? "Woof."

Who am I most compatible with you say?

Saw a couple of friends taking this quiz... curiosity got the best out of me... so I decided to do it too...

My results :

Your Result

So a Scorpio seems to fit you. They are mysterious, and love to be in charge. However, they tend to be complicated and mask their emotions. You never know what they are thinking.


Hmm... I have to agree to a certain extent on this. I'm a Pisces and both me and Scorpios are water signs hence the fact that we can "flow" together easily.

I've read in many astrological reports on how a Pisces and a Scorpio is a celestial bond and will definitely work... one report even said that this will be a match made in heaven which will give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

This could be love at first sight. Many relationships and marriages take place when these two fall in love. Both will remain loyal, committed and be highly understanding of each other. This could be the one you have been waiting for, Pisces! Pisces and Scorpio are very mesmerizing water signs and capable of captivating each other.

So guess what ? Puppy's a Scorpio ;) *eeee*

I carry your heart with me :)

This is a gorgeous poem by E.E. Cummings :

I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root
And the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
Which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart

My new scar....

Justify FullSo yesterday, I had this urge to go shoe shopping. And no, it wasn't one of those impulsive shoe shopping sprees. I had this feeling that I needed new shoes for some reason.

So when we got home... he started fiddling with Reason again... equalizing Teardrops (again).

The clock struck 1900hrs. I pondered whether or not to disrupt his train of inspiration for work. I looked over my shoulder to see what he was up to. Full on concentration. Hmm. Shoe shopping can wait.

The clock struck 2000hrs. I was getting a bit hungry. I still had the urge to go shoe shopping. He was still equalizing. I hear a thunderstorm brewing...

2030hrs. He realized that it was past 8 and we hadn't eaten. "Hun come let's go eat..." the moment he said that, the rainstorm swept our entire area with pelting rain and thunder. "Umm I don't think we can leave the house..." I told him. So let's wait till the rain stops.

The rain started to cease at about 2200hrs. We decided to go out anyways. On the way to the elevator I told him that I want to buy new shoes. Then I showed him the slippers I had on. The grip on the soles were pretty much gone. We laughed about how good it was to slide in them.

Dinner went on fine. Then I remembered that I needed to go to the ATM, so on our way back, we stopped by the ATM near our condo. Now this is a bank's building by itself in a business area so there were no parking spots nearby. He pulled over at the curb and said "Be careful. I'll keep a lookout for you ok? Go slow,"

I nodded and went off. I was feeling rather skittish. Skip skip skip all the way to the machine. Press press press got me money out. On the way back to the car, I decided not to skip because my slippers had no grip, it had just rained and there was a small slope towards the main road.

I walked.

I slipped.

I fell. I didn't even realize I fell until I looked at him. He had shot out of the car and was running towards me. I got up and thought I was fine. He held on to me and asked if I'm alright. I told him that I just fell on my ass.

He opened the car door for me and that's when we saw how bad it was. Blood started to ooze out from my knee and my foot then it started to smart.

We rushed home and when we reached, I turned on the light to see how I could wear my slippers. It was impossible.
Long story cut short. We cleaned the wounds and dressed it. I cried my eyes out because it hurt so bloody bad.
I felt incredibly grateful that he was around and he is incredibly wonderful. I wouldn't know what to do without him. He sat with me in the bathroom thru all the tears and blood comforting me and soothing me. I love you sweetie... :)
the cleaned foot (well as much as I could... it bloody stung like mad!)
the teeniest of my wounds but still, equally painful

Went to see the doctor this morning,had my wounds cleaned and dressed and got a tetanus shot. Doc told me that I should've come in last night after I fell down because my knee could use some stitches because the gash is quite deep. Now it will probably scar.
that's the gash on my knee. you can't see it because blood is still oozing out... and those little white-ish stuff at the bottom, is extra skin, which btw the doctor snipped off today...

She put me on antibiotics, antibiotic cream AND an MC :) Such a wonderful doctor.

So lessons learnt from this : -
a) If you have an urge to do something that you normally don't get - DO IT.
b) Never to go back to that ATM ever again
c) Skip and run all you want. It's walking that hurts you apparently...
d) Always... have a boyfriend like mine :) cuz he can help melt all the pain away :)

he's back!!!

Puppy hasn't been doing anything to his music ever since November last year...

Yesterday he started fiddling with Reason again... and is doing some of the equalization stuff for his Teardrops track...

Today we went to buy his keyboard - Axiom49. But we can't use it yet because he doesn't have the software/hardware (ProTools) to configure it to Chimaira (his pc) yet... so he's still Reason-ing at the moment...

Teardrops is indeed improving...

It's kinda like a love hate relationship... much as it is annoying that I keep hearing the melody and song over and over again... it's hard to explain how great it is to hear that it's being fine tuned at the same time....

Btw we went to Tropicana City today... I must say I'm quite impressed and pleased... not completely occupied by tenants yet (it's about 2 months old I think) but the major anchors and tenants are already there...

It's got Starbucks, Toys 'R' Us, Borders, Gelato, Carrefour, Subway and and OPI salon... I could literally live there now! If only they'd open a La Senza, MNG and an FOS outlet... I wouldn't need to travel out of this area at all!

How I View Myself

Did this today and it's pretty accurate how it predicts how I see myself....

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

upset

I rarely show it when I'm upset with him... as you would've read from my older blogs, it's because I don't want to end up like some deranged mental patient.

Today he tipped me off. This is what happened

1800hrs
I IMed him via GTalk and asked him to come pick me up from work since I was working late.

1815hrs
There was no reply. I waited.

1820hrs
Still no reply. So I called his cell. Didn't pick up. Maybe he's showering.

1830hrs
Called again, no answer. I checked GTalk, he was online and not on away.

1835hrs
Called yet again. My temperature rose when I heard his voicemail prompting me to leave a message.

1840hrs
Called one more time. Still no answer. Feeling bloody pissed.

1845hrs
Told myself, that if he doesn't pick up, I'm taking a cab home. True enough he didn't pick up. I IMed him again on GTalk, no reponse. Fuck it, I thought. I dialed the number to a cabbie. They didn't pick up either.

1850hrs
Called another cabbie. Nobody picked up. WTF is with ppl and not answering phones today???
Then he replied my IM. Are you ready? I didn't get any message from you earlier. Can I come now?

Fucking shit... not receiving my IM is excusable. My GTalk has been wonky the whole day so it was a normal thing for others not to receive my IMs.

But I fucking called FIVE BLOODY TIMES.

When we got home, I told him "Can you please next time, do not not pick up my calls? You had me worried sick that something had happened to you...."

My cell was on silent. I'm sorry. Was his response.

Fucking shit I'm still so fucking mad, I'm not talking to him and I don't care if I have to starve the entire night. I'm not talking to him...

biadap, tetap biadap

I came across this blog entry by Anas Zubedy and I can't help but agree with him. He has a point. Pissed as we all are about the decisions being made about the political scene and no matter how much we disagree with Tuanku's decision... were we ever brought up to be biadap like that? It is seriously not our culture to be that rude, crude and disrespectful.

Attached below is his full blog.
Article sourced from here.


Brothers and Sisters,

I wrote this after reading the comments to my previous article “ Anwar’s second major blunder”.

One, Personally, I detest and am ‘jijik’ with frogging so I do not agree with any government that is formed by that act, regardless whether it is BN or PR. But both parties seem too happy to practice it, and I agree with Dr Koh that Anwar is the ‘King of Frogs’. But for BN leaders like Najib to make him their teacher, elevating him to be a role model, I think it is not very smart either. However, until we have a law that suggests otherwise, I will accept the legality of the Perak new state government. (Hail Karpal !!!)

Two, I do not have privileged information about what had transpired between the Perak Sultan, BN and PR leaders. I am willing to give the Sultan the benefit of the doubt here and assume that he made the best decision he thought possible. He knows the law better than me.All these quotes about he not being true to his own writings are really shallow arguments because all laws and decisions will need to bear the context within which they are made. Historically, he has made decisions that benefited PR too, so, I perceive that he is fair.

Three, I want the state assembly to be dissolved, though I think it is a waste of money, time and purpose because neither BN nor PR are ethical governments when it comes to frogging. So it does not matter to me if BN or PR leads, just deal with the economy, that’s the issue.Read my lips, IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID! Stop all your nonsense, I can wait for PRU13! Will all you politicians please shut up,focus all your energies and just go get the economy right.Whether PR or BN rules Perak or Malaysia is useless if a large section of Malaysians have not enough food to eat, no job to go to and remain in poverty. IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID! Rice is more important than rights when all hell breaks loose in our economy.

Four, what I argued in the article is not what I want or like or whatsoever, ; I am playing the role of a sociologist. It is a socio-cultural reading of the Malays. I could be right, I could be wrong. But, note that it is a thematic problem; it will create impact in the longer run.

When the dusts settle, Malaysians especially the Malays (young and old) will have to decide what the core of Malaysian culture and society is. Where this society we call Malaysia was sired from?

At the end of the day, I bet it would be the Malay entity and culture, with the other sub-cultures acting as supporting actors/actresses and extras.At the very top, who are the keepers of the Malay culture? The Raja-raja Melayu.

Has the Perak royal family acted so wrongly and so zalim to be accorded such rude behaviour both by his subjects and those outside Perak? My answer is a BIG ‘No’. Do you think all the other Raja-raja Melayu are not affected and hurt too with the situation? If they are zalim, go ahead. Are they really zalim here? How do you think their working relationship be with future Pakatan's MBs?

In the area of culture, legal arguments take second place.

Take the Sultan to court if you must, but dont pelt him,be rude to him, show him the finger, screaming and shouting. Is that our culture? Is that how we want our children to behave towards us when they disagree with our desicions?

You decide.

Biadap, tetap biadap.
