I want to eat durian and then get drunk by it.
Hah.
Here it comes.
Sometimes, a gift can turn into a curse. And there’s nothing we can do about it.
I don’t really have a choice, do I?
There are those rare moments I get so damn angry about things that I find myself at the verge of crying.
But when I remembered that there were a far greater number of times when I laughed so hard, those things that brought me down seems so insignificant.
And anyways, tomorrow is always a new day. I’d want to kick it off with a smile (:
“Letting go of someone special to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn’t feel the same is much harder”
- poeticheartache
My cousin, my aunt and I had a chat. About things in the past. About things going on in their lives. And the things that totally have nothing to do with us at all. There were moments during that small chat when I wanted to tell them exactly what is going on in my mind and to simply let it all out. I wanted to hear them nag at me. I wanted them to tell me that it is definitely not alright. I wanted them to hug me and tell me that I of all the complications that I had to face in every meet up that fate had planned for me, I still have the choice to leave it behind.
But I chose to keep mum and just stay ignorant of all the things that are in my mind.
Then I immersed myself with my small cousins who makes me feel special in their lives. Who makes me believe that there are things more important then my small and mundane complication. Every moment that I spent with the little ones makes me realise the need to be strong and sensible. The importance to think more than just myself. And the beauty of simply letting go of all the misery and just laugh it off.
I laugh a lot because that is the best way for me to live. Smiling and laughing is the simplest way for me to forget about the miserable things and one of the most breath-taking way to make me see how beautiful life really is.
Although sometimes it is important to think of what may become and the things that could be, I find myself refusing to think about all of that if all it does is to bring me down again.
I don’t and won’t ask for much. I’m happier now than I was before. And I am content with it (:
I’ll think about things when the time comes.
Till then, I’d just take my time to breathe.
A need to respect and understand.
A need to accomodate and compromise.
There’s so much that I can do, yet, the limitations that exists restricts me from doing so.
Its funny how things happen. Even when we don’t even think about it, when we don’t even want it, when we aren’t even ready for it, sometimes life just smacks things straight to our faces and forces us to deal with it.
But in all of the moments of misery, destitution and agony, I still very much choose to believe in the beauty of life.
eh, wait a minute.
is that a ring?
Infatuation is when you find somebody who is absolutely perfect.
Love is when you realize that they aren’t and it doesn’t matter.

Sing sweetly nightingale.
Sing as if the night is forever yours.
People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

Once Jesus (alayhi salam) met IblÏs [Satan] and IblÏs
said, “Is it not true that only what has been
decreed will happen?”
Jesus replied, “That is true.”
Then IblÏs said, “So throw yourself down
from the top of this mountain, and let us
see if you live or not!”
Jesus answered, “The servant does not
test his master; rather, it is the master who
tests his servant.”

Over 100 icebergs drifting to N.Zealand: official
AFP/HO/Getty Images/File – File photo shows an iceberg pictured off the New Zealand Coast. More than 100, and possibly hundreds, …
Mon Nov 23, 2:09 am ET
SYDNEY (AFP) – More than 100, and possibly hundreds, of Antarctic icebergs are floating towards New Zealand in a rare event which has prompted a shipping warning, officials said on Monday.
An Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist said the ice chunks, spotted by satellite photography, had passed the Auckland Islands and were heading towards the main South Island, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast.
Scientist Neal Young said more than 100 icebergs — some measuring more than 200 metres (650 feet) across — were seen in just one cluster, indicating there could be hundreds more.
He said they were the remains of a massive ice floe which split from the Antarctic as sea and air temperatures rise due to global warming.
“All of these have come from a larger one that was probably 30 square kilometres (11.6 square miles) in size when it left Antarctica,” Young told AFP.
“It’s done a long circuit around Antarctica and now the bigger parts of it are breaking up and producing smaller ones.”
He said large numbers of icebergs had not floated this close to New Zealand since 2006, when a number came within 25 kilometres of the coastline — the first such sighting since 1931.
“They’re following the same tracks now up towards New Zealand. Whether they make it up to the South Island or not is difficult to tell,” Young said.
New Zealand has already issued coastal navigation warnings for the area in the Southern Ocean where the icebergs have been seen.
“It’s really just a general warning for shipping in that area to be on the alert for icebergs,” said Maritime New Zealand spokesman Ross Henderson.
The icebergs are smaller remnants of the giant chunks seen off Australia’s Macquarie Island this month, including one estimated at two kilometres (1.2 miles) and another twice the size of Beijing’s “Bird’s Nest” Olympic Stadium.
Young earlier told AFP he expected to see more icebergs in the area if the Earth’s temperature continues to increase.
“If the current trends in global warming were to continue I would anticipate seeing more icebergs and the large ice shelves breaking up,” he said.
When icebergs last neared New Zealand in 2006, a sheep was helicoptered out to be shorn on one of the floes in a publicity stunt by the country’s wool industry.
