Life is really so interesting.
There are so many people born in this world. Each and everyone one of us have a story to tell, regardless of which country you're born in or live in, regardless of your race and religion and regardless of your gender.
Recently, i thought about stories that my old and new friends have told me. Sad stories, happy stories...all of which have been etched on their minds for life. Me too, I remember every story that each of my friends had told me. Some of these friends are my close friends, some of them are just ordinary friends, and some I have already lost contact with. And now when i think back, I'm really fascinated by all these stories of life. If I have the time, I will tell all the stories I've heard here. Or I will write a book (Hmm...not a bad idea...).
Everyone have had their fair share of happiness and grieve in their life. That is where all the stories come from. At my age, I've already realised that happiness will be balanced up by an equal amount of sadness and vice versa. There is really a Balance in this world - or you can also say that 'Heaven is fair to everyone'. So anyone who's leading a sad life now, no worries, I'm very sure that your happiness will come soon.
Just met a close cousin of mine today. She's very pretty, confident, sexy and has a great career ahead of her. So apparently, there are loads of guys going after her. I asked her a question on our way home.
Me: "Why don't you have a boyfriend now? It's been so long already."
Her: "No suitable guys. They are sincere, but not genuine enough."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Her: "They can't commit. Some guys just can't commit."
Me: "Hmm..."
Her: "Don't want to get involved for the sake of getting involved. Don't want to look for a boyfriend just because everyone else has one."
Me: "So have you ever thought of not getting married?"
Her: "Ya. If it (love) comes it comes loh, if it doesn't then it doesn't loh."
This is also something my mum has taught me from young. She always tells me that it is not a necessity for women to get married, especially now that women are so independent. If it is meant to be, then it is. If it's not, no use forcing things. So, the important thing is to make sure that I would be able to earn enough money and support myself. I agree.
As everyone knows, I have an extraordinary family. Especially my mum who always teaches and preaches me about the anti-traditional things (HaHa). I have always kept in mind everything she told me, although some of them I don't really understand. As I grew up, I began to understand what she had been telling me all along. Sometimes, you really have to wait until you grow up to understand and appreciate certain things. I hereby thank my mum and the rest of my family for everything they have done for me.
Life is beautiful and every experience is a lesson to us. Although I do not believe in fairytale endings, I believe that for every bad memory, there are a hundred beautiful ones... Please appreciate it and enjoy life to your fullest!
