A little joy

Hey people! As you all know, Christmas is over and this Christmas, I received a very special gift from my mum.

I now have a pet algae!! :D Wacky I know... It's call a marimo. I only came to know about marimo when I bought it. My brother took us (Me and my mum) to see it and instantly, I fell in love with it! How could you not?? It's a fluffy green  LIVING BREATHING ball!!

My mum saw that I liked it so much, she bought it for me on the spot. And that my friend, is how I got my Christmas present! I hope it lives happily and hopefully, for the rest of my life, I'll be able to take care of it. This is the thing that will show that I care! It'll be my training for my future when I get a dog. To care and feed it everyday and take care of it when it's sick or pregnant with a baby marimo. :D  Weeee!! This is going to be fun!

Yeap... This is my baby Momo. :D

So that's all for today. Introducing Momo to everyone! :D My best Christmas gift ever, a gift of eternal life.

Merry Christmas!
 

Do you ever feel disappointed that your life sucks?

It is now nearing Christmas and as everyone is huddled together being all lovey dovey, I've picked the best book to be reading this time of the year. Jurassic Park??

The book

Written by this guy, Michael Crichton

Yeap, a book jammed pack with thriller and minimal romance. That's what I love about this book- The Lost World. The content of this book is so freaking inspiring and smart. I really do not know how he thought of all the things. There's just so much philosophy in there as well. About life and about being a human. About our perception on the world around us and how ignorant we are about it and took it for granted.

Anyways, a bit side-tracked there. The main point is that I can't help but feel a bit useless and lonely. Turning 20 next year and so far... nothing. Not a single person to like me back. Feeling a bit disappointed in myself. Especially since it is nearly Christmas now and everyone is so in the mood, so in love and cozy while I on the other hand just feel like running. Running to work, running to do other thing rather than really sitting down and think and do pointless things. For example, I just went through some of my friend's facebook profiles. Can't help feeling sorry for myself and a feeling of jealousy. I keep thinking: "Why is their life so freaking awesome and full of love while I'm alone all the time?" But then, every time, I think about that question, my brain automatically switch to the usual next question to comfort myself. "What about the people in Africa? People who are less fortunate" and I'll feel happy again. Because like they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. I should be happy for I am blessed with food and water and to be given the chance to watch television everyday and have an education and with friends and family that love me.

So don't feel disappointed that your life sucks.
Be happy and cherish what you have.
Be content as it only happens once in your life. :)

Thank you friends, family and the ones that love me. Merry Christmas.

One of those days

8th December 2011

Today was one of those days where I was lucky enough to have.

It was a night,to be exact, I was lucky enough to get.

It was magical. 

I was feeling a bit down because I had to go to TGIF to celebrate my friend, Hwen Cheng's birthday and miss out on my Hong Kong drama, especially when the night before, I had to see my other friend, Mark, as well. I dragged myself out of the house and got my bud over to One Utama with my only girl friend available to teman me (so far). She was on the wheels because I had nearly got into a car accident the night before.

So after we arrived at the restaurant, it was a pretty dull start. I was concentrating on "Tom and Jerry" that was playing on TV than to the conversations (Still feeling a bit sad about the Hong Kong drama) but then the mood pick up as we started walking towards this so called "Ultimate Secret Hang Out" that the boys have. I don't think I'm allowed to disclose the location but when we reached the place, all I can say is, it was very cool.

There, we got a clear view of the sky and it was really awesome. I just sat down on one of the chair and got really comfortable. It's been a long time since I've felt so at ease and with my friends. I didn't even stress about anything and nothing was on my mind except for that moment itself. I truly felt blessed and euphoric for no reason, the aura is just so strong and hard to describe.

And at that moment, I saw something incredible.

A Moon Rainbow. 

     

This was what it looked like. OH MY GOODNESS...  I didn't even know such a thing existed. O_O

Yeap... I did sounded stupid when I said it:

Me: "Hey Lydia, is that a rainbow in the sky"

John: "Are you dreaming? Of course not! It's night time."

Hwen Cheng: "*stares up at the sky* OH MY GOD THERE REALLY IS.."

John: "*Looks up* Wow... There really is"

Me: "Hell yea... I'm not drunk you know... Nor am I crazy..."

Lydia: "*silent* Oh.. I thought you were kidding"

Yeap... they all thought I was crazy at first to say that there was a rainbow in the sky at night.. but there really was!! We laughed and then we all just sat quietly and stared at the moon rainbow... I swear it was the coolest thing I've ever seen and it crazy thing was, the clouds were just forming a circle around the full moon, no loose clouds like the one in the picture. It was just so pretty and it felt so magical. It was just so damn perfect.

As the wind blew the clouds away and the full moon resumed it's full glorious glow, we continued talking and laughing. But like all good times, it passed so fast and we had to go home. It felt like a few short minutes,but really we spent around an hour at the place. Guess that's just how the world works. But it was really the best feeling ever! It was simple but yet so magical. A simple joy. Thanks Lydia, Calvin, Hwen Cheng, Matthew and John. You guys are awesome!

:)  Forever etched in my memory. Forever mine to cherish.
