It's All in the Perception

We complain too much.

Especially girls.

All we do is rattle rattle rattle. Bla bla bla...

It's embedded in our gens.


~In the car~

Mom: (Looking at me from the rearview mirror)
Fung, you're going to leave to UK a month.

Me: Mummy, less than a month la. Yesterday was a month.

Mum: Oh yah, so fast..

Me: Dun worry la, its only three months. It will go as fast as it came.

Bro: And I'm having my IU on the same day of ur departure!

Me: Ya lah, u stupid. Go have same day for what man?? Cannot send me to the airport now lah?!?!?!? I know you purposely wan!

Bro: Haiah dun worry. I will wan. If not, then by the time u come back I'll drive the car to pick u up la.

Me: Eh u think driving to KLIA like making turns around the neighbourhood meh??? I'll see la if daddy allows u to drive.

Bro: Snortzzzz...

Well, its prettty hard not to count down the days, coz it is drawing closer and closer. What seemed to be a random conversation is about to take place. Yes, I have been travelling my whole life, but its going to be hard not to see the familiar faces of my family and dear sis. Sis is always at my beside whenever we ride the plane. This time around, I suppose its going to be some random stranger. Or maybe one of my few classmates. Gosh, the flight is going to be a looooooong one.

If there was anything working in AA has taught me, it wud be not to take things for granted.

Know why???

1. Work is boring.

I mean, seriously, being in the working life is pretty mundane. There isn't so much to look forward to other than the ample and repeatitive extraction of reports daily. And I'm in the Marketing Department! I thought it should be the most happening!!!!!!! Ah well, guess not. =( But is there all there is to it in the working life???? There'd better not be. Gawsh..i sooo need something more challenging!!!!

Hence, I'm going to make full-use of my three months of studying in the UK. No more complaints about how stifled I am being in a community where I don't fit in. No more slacking around. I have three months left of being a student. And I'm making the best out of it. =)

2. My dad.

Hands down, there is no more men out there like my dad. He being the sole breadwinner of the family, having to feed the other 4 pigs (Sis, bro, mom and I) and is still dedicated to his role of being a loving father, waking up at dawn and cooking us food to eat for lunch, which I pack and bring to eat for breakfast in the morning.

(Yeap, I don't just settle for one piece of bread and a cup of Milo like everyone else. Eating that little makes me dysfunctional. Haha.)

I could see reflections of envious shots aimed upon me when I bring breakfast to eat at the office. (Wee~) Most of the time it would be rice coupled with the daily variatons of dishes cooked by dad. Some collegues even come by and be a hypocrite, checking out the delicacies for the day. Haha. And then daddy gives me morning calls, asking me hows the food and they think its super sweet. I think so too. =)

They say that I'm a pampered child. Well, no, I'm not pampered, just loved. And for that I'm very grateful.

3. Thank God I'm educated.

Most of us don't see it, but there is just so much to be grateful about by just knowing that no matter what happens, the least u have is a certificate that would ensure that if u fall down, you wouldn't fall too hard because it becomes your cushion. And with that cert alone, the options presented to you are much wider, more secure. The least you have, at least, is an over-chilled office, a desk, a nice chair and nothing to do but being aimless, and that's not bad. Trust me. =)

I remember having conversations with people unfortunate that they didn't fully accomplish their education. They were exploited of their enery and labor, and was excessively underpaid, and some even work for 21 hours consecutively to make ends meet. It's a tough one.

Therefore it simply repulses me to find some ungrateful brats who take education like it was feather falling from the sky. Many people would want to trade places with us.

So bottom line is, don't complain if you're in a position that you dislike in life.

Coz life is NOT a bed of roses.

And not everyone is born with and fed with a silver spoon.

So it's entirely up to you to make your own bed of roses.

It's all in the perception.

So, is ur glass half empty, or half full?????? Time to make a choice.

Lotsa love.
