The Rebel's BayA chillout place for all rebels...... HopeIs a strong word. One you won’t use everyday. It’s either because you chose not to or because simply there’s no use to. Do you wake up saying to yourself: “I hope I’ll have a great day ahead?” Doesn’t it sound depressing? Sadly, some may do that. So, you chose not to use the word. You then meet your co-worker at work. Do you greet them by saying: “I hope you’ll have a great day ahead?” Sound sarcastic doesn’t it? Will all our day be so bad that we can only hope that it will be great? So, you see you chose not to use it again. Is there a need? Well, I think you need to be in a really bad situation to be able to use that word. “I hope my lunch will be good.” “I hope no one will disturb me at work” You may use that word nonetheless. But is there a real need? Won’t it sound depressing? Sadly, at such times, we use it. Some of us may wake up with no work place to go to. Assets that we own suddenly seem so cheap. You spend one month thinking if you should buy a new pair of shoes. It was sold out before you can make a decision. And so, we use the word. Do not fear as with hope, come heroes. Or vice versa. Heroes give us hope. If I need to put a face for heroes, it’s got to be Barack Obama. Just the presence of him, give us all hope. He inspired and motivated us. There’s simply no better timing for him to become a hero. Now, my only fear is that he is not a hero after all. He may turn out to be a villain. I hope he have a good heart and use it well. Yes, all heroes have a good heart. They all listen to it and follow what their heart says. It may not be for everything but at some point in time, I’m sure they’ve used their heart. Kaka used his heart. I’m not saying he is a hero but he gave us hope. With the possibility of an oil-rich financed bank opening right inside his house, he rejected the offer to play for the club that they own. Money was defeated. Well, not totally because he is still relatively rich. Nonetheless, I saluted him. (Not wholeheartedly, he plays for the wrong team.) In times like these, when money becomes someone who we love to hate and hate to love, it’s nice to know that it’s not all so powerful after all. There is hope. But I don’t want to hope. It is negative. I want to WISH. In good times or bad, I WANT TO WISH. I wish that everybody will be employed. I wish that everybody will be healthy. I wish that everybody will be happy every single day. I wish that there will be more heroes in times like these. An Open DoorYes, yes, a million years passed by since I wrote.
Tons of things happened. Actually only recently…
Probably that’s why I decided to write again.
Family affair: Hmmm… Basically it’s all about one princess that has yet to even celebrate her first birthday. Because of her, blood was split, tears were shed, and sweat is still dripping. We spent hours, money and any efforts that we can spare. Still, there is no peace. I just don’t get it. Every one of us worships her. Still there are some who beg to differ. Do people always contradict themselves?
Friends: They lost precious things recently. For better or worst, I don’t know. But I’m sure they are hurt somehow. But hey, didn’t someone say that when you shut one door, another door will be opened? It seems that that someone got it spot on. If my friends were to take a closer look, they will agree with me.
Take Barack Obama for example. One great man who is already in the history book. I love that guy. He doesn’t inspire one nation. He inspires the world. He is everything that I hope the world can see one day. He proved to the world that some day, no one is gonna give a damn who you are. No one wanna give a shit what you looks like. Everybody just wanna know, what are you gonna do to make this a much better place?
But contradiction sets in again. Millions doubt this black man. To be frank, I doubted him too. The system is flawed. No matter who you put into that system, he may still do the same thing. But just imagine if you were to put the same kind of man into the same system, won’t he repeat that same mistake again? Luckily, there are enough people not to doubt him that much. If not, we’ll have another white man seating in that white building.
Obama also lost something precious. He could also take a closer look at himself to realize that when a door shut, another one opens. Lost a grandma, won a country.
So we know that people will contradict themselves. For example, I love to drink but I hate it when I feel giddy after drinking. I love my job but I drag myself to work everyday. Etc, etc…
We also know that when we lose something, we may gain something in return.
So why don’t we just not contradict ourselves and go on with our lives? Admit that we love our loved ones. Hate those who deserve to be hated. What are we afraid of when we know that there’ll always be a door left open to us?
Ahhh Life……Many things to blog. I’ve thought of slamming England. Those millionaires that play soccer worst than my mom. Lol… Ok seriously not worst than my mom but they suck nonetheless. Never mind, why waste time for such good for nothings.
Ohh… Big Lee said it’s more important to have a stable country than a democratic one… Hmmm… well known fact… Next…
Aaaaaahhhhhhh… My niece… I could write a short story based on her week old life. Hahahaha… Ya, you bet I’m excited. For the past few days, it’s all about her. Things really change after a kid is born. The family can no longer be the same. My mom is much busier. My sister and her husband have their hands full. I made more trips to their house too. 2 in the past 2 days. Boy is she cute. She’s gonna be named Gwenda. Gwenda Hui. I can’t make sure of her ‘han yu ping yin’ yet but I do know her Chinese name.
Hahahahahahaha…… Not to worry guys, gonna post her picture soon but not now. I’m going to bed. Tired. Happy Happy!!!YYYEEAAAHHH… My niece is born TODAY!!! WOHO…..
Greatest news I’ve had for some time. I’m really happy and excited about it. Just can’t wait to have a look at her. LOL……
Of course I’ll surely post her pictures online… Hahahaha…
Okok. I shall thank God. Thank him for giving me a niece. I shall not be greedy and ask for another niece or nephew but hey, it’s ok to pray for another one right? LOL……
Okzzz….. I gotta spend more time with her now. Byyyeee The Train TheoryIt was a Thursday night and I was on my way home with my colleague. We took the same MRT train as we lived nearby each other. We started chatting and realized that many of our colleagues are actually living near us. Thus, most of us will be using the same MRT line every morning. With the same trail and the same working hours, why didn’t we meet any of them on our way to work?
My colleague said that he always got onto the train through the same door. But that doesn’t mean that all the passengers will go through that very same door as he did. Within a short time span, there are many trains going through that trail too. These various reasons explained why we came to work alone.
He went on to say that he should walk from the front of the train right to the end, in order to see which colleague is on the same train as him. “This reflected our lives.” He said. I replied: “Yes, but you’ll hope to see all the people that you want to see right from the start. If they turned up much later, the train ride would have ended.”
Your life is as long as a train itself. Imagine you started walking from the very first cabinet of the train. Do you wish to see familiar faces among them or not? Friendly or unfriendly people? Of course you wished to have a good start and see as many friends as possible. Maybe even a lover. But what happen if they appeared in the last cabinet? Well, sadly the train would have reached its terminal and came to a stop. Your life journey ended and the time spent with your loved ones is only a few train stops.
My friend continued: “What if they are not on the same train as you?” I said, “Then too bad, that we can’t control.”
Treasure the ones that you meet in every cabinet of your train. If they appeared in the middle of the train, it’s good as you can at least spend half the journey with them. If they appeared in the last cabinet, it’s still ok as at least you get to know them. If they are not on the same train as you, well, too bad. That we can’t control. |
