A TRIBUTE TO THE LOVED ONES

i received a message on my Friendster account the other day. it was one of those forwarded messages, the type i would usually scan briefly before hitting "delete". however this message, written in Malay, started with a simple question that caught my attention. a rough translation of it goes like this:

"have you ever watched your parents while they were asleep? your father's body, once big and strong but now, the big is withered and the strong is weaker. wisps of grey peek out from his hair, wrinkles now "scar" his forehead and face.

"this man works hard every day and would sacrifice anything to make sure his family is provided for and his children get the best education possible.

"or how about your darling mother, whose soft hands once cuddled and held you close when you were a baby? now, those hands are dry and rough, bearing evidence of the challenges she faced just for us.

"this woman take care of our daily needs, constantly nagging and scolding us because of her love for us. sadly, we often miscontrue her love as a control and unfairness."

i have never thought of watching my parents while they were sleeping. oh yes, ive watched my cousins sleep when they were babies, all round and cuddly and sweet smelling. but watching my parents is just not right! in fact, it should be the other way round.

but after some time of sitting down, puffing a smoke and reading this forwarded message, i realised that there was indeed much truth in it. in fact, my parents do not have to be asleep for me to realise that they have aged. just by looking at my mother walks tells me that her legs are not as strong as they were before. or hearing her asking me for help with her flowerpots in the garden, the one she used to be able to push and drag around the garden without my help. or watching my dad lift several bag of groceries. i can easily carry those bags now. i am young and evidently it is as easy as ABC to do so. however to him, they are not only heavy, they are struggle as well.

what do all these observations tell me? why should it be crucial to the people especially growing adults? well, for a fact, my parents have aged. yes, they are ageing just as i am ageing. but as i age towards my best of years and become stronger, they in turn are becoming weaker. they were once the caregivers and i the receiver. in time, i know my role as an adolescent will reverse. like it or not, want it or not, this is LIFE.

i suppose i have always subconsciously thought that my parents would always be with me, never growing old. it made me pause and reminisce that my parents are not immortal. they, too, will one day leave the world and then me. until then, i will cherish our time together.

a tribute to everyone who is important to me, close to heart. the loves of my life, la familia.

A RANDOM POST.

weellllll.

its been ages since i sat on a comfy seat with a decent notebook in front of me. in other words, maaaan! i really know how to keep myself busy these few hectic days. pretty monotonous life ive got here. pretty cool huh? it seems like my blog is fading away. and its just a matter of time. HAHA.

THANKS TO MY THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE LIL BROTHER WHO NEVER STOPS IN REMINDING ME TO UPDATE MY BLOG. pfft.

speaking of time, 3 lab reports are due on the same day. not to mention, exam weeks are just around the corner. and the best part, call me a no brainer but i am so lazy these few days. i haven't even touch a book not even a piece of paper. (a bit of exaggeration won't hurt) but still i don't like what im doing right now. exams are just two weeks from now and here i am still blabbering about such nonsense craps. well. until here readers i bid goodbye.

i cant say (or write, in my case) anymore but to put on hold for a while and focus on my top priorities-study and study.

p/s:may i remind u that im in a hiatus mode.

(in case,some people dont understand)

HIATUS MODE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

i kinda suck in updating since i have a lot of important things to deal. i've not been updating very much and i'm sure everyone who used to read my blog does not even bother to check anymore, but hey, better late than never, right? RIGHT. i miss home. haha. man, i need to relax. in one week time, i'll be leaving to kl! yeahhhhhh!!! it's time to shake these stress away.
SO GOOD DAY EVERYONE
*POOF*

A SHORT POST

the big man just got back from KL! i got joys from a watch and no it is not only an ordinary watch. its O.D.M ! woowee. ive been tracking down this baby since i was like what? an embryo? haha. and if you're asking why not an old-fashioned Tissot or a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust instead? naaaaaaaaaaah i dont really fancy those junks. I just want nothing but a black decent O.D.M. well, when come to think of it, he did mention of getting me a Rolex but i declined. im too young to have that crap. seriously. BOLLOCKS. haha. im starting to love that word. another advanced xmas gift perhaps? =)

WHO IS LAUGHING NOW!

ha ha. i just received a phone call from my dudette. GOD! AREN'T I'M BLESSED?!

so, he thinks he is all that and coolio? (whatever that is) so wrong. BIG TIME DUDE. if i deserved any of the things he said about me to my face, well, that now would be a different story because i would stand up to it with two big open arms. but going behind me saying everything which is not true? DUDE! facts need to be ironed out as well. here i am typing this out, smiling without a doubt, laughing even to think of the initiatives he has set up to turn everyone against me. i bet he's waiting for me to combust. maaaaan u got served! i still remember the fact that he called me his "BESTPAL".

who's your real friend now?

TOO MUCH BOLLOCKS perhaps.

well, think again. bestfriends can be your worst enemies.

days have been definitely been better people.

ALAS (and a lil extra)

phewww. i never thought of saying this but i am very, very relieved to be back home! i was busy with my humdrum and pretty hectic life, helping out with my cousin's engagement until i get to catch my breath again. and no! i won't post any pictures of them cos they are too many and i bet they would load awfully slow (the exact same thing they did to my Facebook! what a pile of bollocks!!).

so moving on, my dad got me a new heady scent or in other word a decent perfume/parfum recently. LOL. its Bvlgari and it cost us shitloads of $$$. but i must admit i did not really fancy this perfume at first. i wanted an orange Dunhill pursuit as Dunhill has been always my favorite(besides its brand for smoke). but little did i know Dunhill fragrances never were in that premise. what a bummer! i wanted the smaller bottle which was only RM84 difference but my dad insisted to buy the biggest one. i agreed on buying this perfume bcos it has a small bag and it can be a real handy dandy for me-i could put me smokes, hps, ANYTHING.

since i have it so im afraid ill have to flaunt it. HAHA-tada!

now, all i have to do is to use it wisely. the chance of buying another new fragrance only comes once in a blue moon you know.

and 1 last thing!

i went to visit me aunt HAZEL LENNA JAMES earlier on and now i am starting to miss SARA PALEEN already. (before you ppl jump into any possible conclusions, SARA PALEEN is a grey-white Persian cat)

HAHA. it's not like she's anywhere far, after all she is only in Pujut 5 bcos she lives there. DUH. then again i could take my dad's car key and hop into the car and speed off to Hazel's house and cat-nap her! WOOWEE. call me a no brainer.

until now i bid u HAPPY ADVANCE XMAS!

RUNWAY MOM

happy 47th birthday to Monica Vincent Rinding, my darling mom.

how fast time flies. and right now, i actually feel old. moreover, it’s not like we get younger every single time the clock strikes 12 because by the time we know it, we’re just going to be old and rotten anyway. it’s what we have experienced which really brings up the best in ourselves, the good and the bad. my sis and i went down to the spring and we had a very tough time searching a decent garment for our mom. i must say we had gone to all of the shops but to our dismay, nothing pleases us. after many hours wasted, we finally managed to get one.

a valentino rudy’s out wear to be exact!

there goes me money.

but hey at least she loves it!

and i'm ecstatic the fact that she does.

everytime i glance through this runway like pictures, i can say nothing but only can shake my head. this woman who is strong enough to put up with anything you can possibly imagine. i was a rebellious kid, i did not put up with rules and i was downright spoiled to the core - but she put that to test and scared the shit out of me. she still does sometimes. especially when she screams my full name, chorus included. i can never imagine a woman handling 4 boisterous boys

(and let's not forget 1 girl)the way she does. she's good at her job, so what? i've heard people making remarks about her. but that does not matter. she still holds our house together anyway, better than anyone else can. she was always the only woman i have ever looked up to - i have never seen her giving up on anything even if she tried to.

once again, happy birthday to my spontaneous mom or should i say a runway mom to be? u say.
