Assalamualaikum and hello everyone,
Wow
this blog is left untouched for so long I could imagine spider webs all over!
The last
post was January last year. Yikes really took me too long to come back.
A
serious case of a writer’s block, huh?
So many things happened over the past
year and a half. I finally got the job I’ve been waiting for almost three years
and it was a tad farther from my house but then there’s the saying “you win
some, you lose some.” I have to travel almost 60km everyday back and forth but
I’m okay with it since I could still live with my parents.
I know some people
can’t wait to move out of their parents’ house but I’ve been there, done that
for a few years and now I just feel like it’s the best to live with my aging
parents again. Of course they still nag me over curfew and stuff I do like the mess
in my room, spending too much time surfing the Internet and the loud music,
things like that, you know..but I get to cook for them, make sure they’re
taking their medicine on time and a bit of exercise, go shopping and watch K-Drama
together and above all, I just get to spend time with them. I tell you, I’m
getting very emotional and melancholic easily these days. My good friend Als
would say it’s a sign of aging.
Damn but it’s true.
You basically just start to
appreciate things more as you grow older. Well, maybe others start early but I’m
always 2000-late, you know. *lifts an eyebrow*
I have come to realize that if you’re going to live
a long live happy, you’ve got to do happy things and let go of the unhappy
ones.
Shit happens every day –people jump in lanes on your way to work, the PC
doesn’t work in the classroom, colleagues and office politics, yada yada
yada..just get over it and move on. The whole world is already in a mess so let’s
just buckle up and face everything without it affecting you so much.
I have
also learned that if you take everything ever so seriously, you’d end up
miserable.
Try to look at the glass half full instead.
People jump in the line –be
grateful you are at least in a car with the air-cond full blast.
Your plan
doesn’t work out in class –make up something, you’re in charge, the kids wouldn’t
know. Colleagues and office politics –I’ve worked at 4 different places before
so trust me, it happens at anywhere you work so just do the right things and
they won’t be able to touch you. Keep your integrity intact.
Bottom line is
(you probably have heard of this), you have to love whatever you’re doing for
you to be happy.
If I had a bad day and it made me sad, I would just go and eat
those colourful donuts because it put a smile on my face. Or listen to any Big
Bang song because TOP’s voice always makes me weak in the knees. Or go home and
watch “The Wheels on the Bus” on YouTube with my adorable 2yo nephew.
Small
things can really make a difference. You just have to pay more attention to
them.
I know I am beginning to sound like a 80yo grandma but this is all very
true. Bad things happen but don’t forget that God is still blessing you –He woke
you up today, some people didn’t get that chance.
With that being said (or written), I hope I could keep on
writing and not continue somewhere in the next year. Will take this precious
blog more seriously now. See you in a couple of days.
*InsyaAllah*
