Every time my little niece misbehaves all I need to say calmly to her is "That's what Princess Bleketek would do or say." She would stop immediately and change her manner to a true Princess. You see I tell her tales about Princess Bleketek who has no manners, impatient, impolite, doesn't say thank you or please, rude, unhelpful, whiny, interrupt conversation, ignore others to use gadgets at all time and some more. A true Princess never do any of those. She believes every word I say. I wonder how long this would last?
Last minute packing for a two-weeks holiday. Mac is looking intently at me. I think she knows that I'm thinking of leaving her behind. I miss her already.
One rainy Tuesday afternoon in a food court of a mall. A young family of three. No nanny. No gadgets. Mom went to get some food. Dad put Little Girl in a high chair. Dad took out a picture book from a bag and started to read. He projected his voice with such animated articulation and intonation. Little girl giggled, pointed to this and that in the book, clapped and squealed with delight.
One blue sizzling afternoon. Stuck in a bumper to bumper traffic of a two way street. Everywhere I looked I see gloomy and distress face. Pedestrians, street hawkers, motorists, motorcyclists, tukang parkir. Not a single happy face. Until a black SUV passed me with both windows on the left side opened giving me a full view of three handsome huskies. I swear they were smiling at me.
A new girl in KDM. Tiny. I think she is three or four years old. She can hardly utter any recognizable words. But she loves to smile and laugh a lot. The biggest smile in the world! Her eyes twinkle and her face light up every time she grins from ear to ear. She is so resilient. I wish I could be more like her. How I envy her!Today for a reason she only knew she gave me a battery. One big D battery. I'm keeping it. A little reminder not to be easily deterred by whatever Life throw at me.
"Winning isn't about finishing in first place. It isn't about beating the others. It is about overcoming yourself. Overcoming your body, your limitations, and your fears. Winning means surpassing yourself and turning your dreams into reality. That is the true victory." Kilian Jornet
One lazy afternoon in a terrace of a small cafe. A small boy slept on his dad's lap. He looked so peaceful listening to his dad's heartbeat and inhaling all those toxin smoke from his cigarette. A secondhand smoker courtesy of love.
Just because I love running so much I thought I have a privilege to feel good after every run. So not true. I guess just like Life has its good day and bad day, Running has its up and down too. I couldn't believe today I actually said, "I hate running! I'm going to quit for good!" just because I couldn't bring myself to finish a long run. I'm such a drama queen. It was just one of those day. No big deal. Just brush it off my shoulder.
For a drawing presentation I needed to find a picture of a right and left brain diagram showing its function. So I went to Google Image and text left brain right brain. I was surprised to find that one of my drawing showed up in the Google Image search. So cool! I completely abandoned my presentation and wrote this post instead.
Isn't it funny how time can be sluggish and gloomy or rapid and jovial depending on how you feel? I mean there are always 60 seconds in every minute, 60 minutes in every hour, 24 hours in every day, 365 days in every year & 366 days in every leap year. Time flies when I'm with you. I love you.
