? Football+Model

Okay so here's the question...

"Why does most of the football players have a lingerie model as their girlfriend?" I am puzzled. Either the man is obsessed with lingerie or the ladies with the balls, I mean football...=P.So, honey, the next time you are thinking of being a model , congrats you might just end up with a football player for a husband ( * certainly not in our country, though*) . Anyway, I am having a wonderful day. It's a holiday! Yippie... On another note, I enjoy the morning sun , the green trees, inspirational quotes and a cup of coffee (Coffee smells like a wonderful day!=)
Good day all!

Experience, My Teacher

Yesterday, was one of the "pages" in my book of life. You know how some of us used to have cat fights with our peers when we were teens (luckily we are not blessed with claws otherwise I cant imagine what would have happened), over tiny stuffs, well surprisingly I accidentally got myself into one (Notice I used the word accident, cause I loathe getting involved with immature creatures). Anyway the point is, after much analyzing, I have come to know how much I have learned with just one incident. I learned to stand up for what is right, surprisingly I also learned that people have predicted me so well that so much so when I stood up for myself, they felt I should not be like that( what logic is that?). I have learned not to discuss in anger, instead more calmly with a soft tone, believe it or not, it was like a magic, it worked wonders. And I also learned it is okay to put ourselves down and make the other person feel better if it is going to be beneficial to us( hey, people did not simply say fake it to make it).Plus, I have learned the other person's character very well. Lastly, I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect-Edward Gibbon (Very well said, how true) Till yesterday, I asked why it happened to me, but today I am grateful it was me, otherwise I would have never learned. Many more pages to go...

A Story Not Told

Holla! Its been long since I blogged, thanx to my elective postings, instead of being an awesome holiday, I spent it with patients, and since now I have got 5 days of break before I got back to campus , so I thought I better see what's happening in this side of the world. Anyway, what I want to talk about today, is really something that should bring awareness, an introduction to another world that not many know.

KL as many know is a big big city bustling with traffic, loads of people with the latest trend, gigantic malls to chill out, on a whole appears as a civilized place.Everything peaceful, another icon of transformation, as a result of development. Naturally, we expect the neighbouring area to be equally developed, human wise also, at least that's what I thought. But, what I discovered many days ago, was rather a new and thought changing experience. The National Leprosy Center back in Sungai Buloh was the home for hundred over patients over the last 50 years.Yes, 5o and probably more. Patients living in the same bed for years. Their bed is their home. These are humans that are living in a different world, with no contact with the outside world. Here, there are patients that have been left since the age of nine and never went back home. Each had a different story to tell. Some still having the mentality of a nine year old despite being 45. Transformation has taken place but not for these people. For them, the corridor is the north-south highway, the newly mowed lawn is another state, the freshly grown flowers are paintings on the wall and they have a cat for a companion. This is their life. A story not told.

I left that place tear eyed and swear I would never step a foot again in there. I am not being selfish, but there is a part of me that feels there is no way any human should live like that. I am not prepared emotionally and mentally to go back again.

If you are complaining about incompleteness, than take a look at them. You will learn to appreciate everything. If you are complaining about not having a mirror, they don't have a presentable face (effect of erosion). If you are complaining about not having the best sunglasses, they don't have eyes to see. If you think you are bad at drawing, they don't have fingers. If dancing is a difficult task for you, they would at least wished to have the other half of the leg to move around! If you think the entire world is so unfair to you, than I have no words, you definitely haven't seen them yet...

I know I said I won't go back, I have been there, I have seen it,it will take time...But, they won't mind having a human for a companion once in a while for a change...So give it a thought.
Good day all!

Her Name Is Bella

She had an awfully cropped hair with matted patches of hair at some part of the skull. It has been weeks since a drop of water ever came in touch with the hair of hers. The sunburned color and stinking sweat odor of the hair did not do justice to her coppery skin and the beautiful amethyst colored almond eyes of hers. The tears at the edge of the eye was slowly washing away and bringing with it the black eye liner along its course. She let it drop.Her tears.She was too weak to wipe it away. The freckles over her chest were defined by the V-shaped plunging neckline of her dress.It added to her natural beauty. The gentle swells of her breasts were obvious.The dress, a black satin Prada dress hung on her on either side of her shoulder by a thin strap. It is studded with diamonds around her small waist. It went well with the ankle high boots minus the fish net stockings."You are lucky", she remembered one of her friends saying. The dress, was given to her by one of her "clients". Clients, she thought to herself and just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. But, the tears still flowed. Two months ago, she remembered dad calling her "Princess". Now,here she is. In this dark lane, where besides rat and cockroaches, humans, roam around. Humans who are drugged, highly intoxicated, whose bodies have been the item of trade in need of money. So was hers. Just two months ago, she made the decision to leave home with Nick. Yes, Nick, her boyfriend. The man who promised her life in a fantasy land, the man who won her heart with versus of love, the man who asked her hand in marriage.She was darn sure he was her true soul mate. She left despite all the warnings from dad. And he left her too. Yes, the same Nick who promised her sweet nothings left her in this hell, he sold her off. The sweet love making in the trust of her man's words was meaningless and it hurt her to the core. She regretted. She hated this life. Her mistakes had ruined her. She took the last drop of that liquor. She had fought and begged one of the man to sell her those "stuff". She can't live without it. It was her only means of finding peace. She held the syringe and gently pushed the needle into her skin. As "it" mixed with her blood, she had flashes of her happy life with her father and siblings. Choking back her tears ,she said softly,"Forgive Bella,dad". And, her eyes never opened again...

A Note

I wrote a note
"Fetch the kids",
I wrote a note
"Food in the fridge",
I wrote a note
"Will be late",
I wrote a note
"Don't wait up",
I wrote a note
"Soccer on Sunday",
You left a note
"I am leaving...for good",
I held the palm sized paper
Close to my chest,
Tears welled up in my eye,
I fell to the floor,
Staring at the marble kitchen tiles,
That we hand-picked,
When we build this home,
Now, it is a house
With memories
If only I wrote just one note
"I love you"
It could have made a difference....

My Independence & A Big Thank You

Morning. I have finally finished my professional exams and I am a full fledged final year student. Yeah! Honestly,yesterday was my New Year. Now, I am on par with the rest. And,I can finally pay attention to one thing till my next exam. This is the day I was waiting for since I made the decision to defer my studies in 2008. And finally it is here. Trust me folks, any trials in this journey is always a temporary thing and it will pass by fast, whatever it is. It is just one of God's way of making us strong. Studies was never the only issue for me , since acha left , there was so many emotional downfalls in life. So many people to cater for especially family. No, I am not complaining--- the start of anything in life is never an easy one but as it goes things will eventually fall in place. Time probably heals the pain- not completely perhaps a little. 2 years was definitely an eye opener-meeting people, understanding them, standing up for yourself, appreciating the small things that makes a great difference, maturing and the feel of wanting to do everything right now, this very moment, to spent when I want to, to go on a vacation or a trip or anything without giving much of a thought, to dance till I am exhausted, to see more people, and a lot more to name. So, I was thinking, I am going to take some time to thank some people who had been there, and made a difference in the last 2 years directly or indirectly. I have never particularly mentioned any one's name before so if I did today I am being truly sincere and wishing you people a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

1) Sham chechi

Where do I start when it comes to you, basically
everything was possible due to
your effort. The amount of patience, love and understanding and support that
you gave all throughout-
from the time I deffered my studies, all the train journeys to keep me company and all the encouragement.Oh yes, and the driving will never be possible if it was not for your support. And I needed you the most to keep me sane.To listen to me pour my heart out!Thank you for being rational.

2) Ma-me mummy

Despite all the irrationalities and emotional downfall, as a mother, you are still the best.
You had a dual role since 2008-both as a dad & a mum. And you did both very well. You have always worried about not being able to do it right and not as perfectly as acha- but honestly no one could have done it better than you! Chumi's wedding would not have been possible without you! And I would not have made it this far as well. I admire you patience & always wished I had half of it.So, thank you and love you.

3) Priscillia

You are part of the family now. Thank you for all the help. And especially for all the driving
around to distribute the cards and to settle everything else-from the slide making, to the late nights chats and to be very patient with the DJ=) So many things would not have been possible without you. So thank you!

4) Kishore

Thank you for all the wonderful lunch and dinner and hours and hours of time spent talking.
Really kept my mind off things. Thank you for making me feel welcomed and not so awkward when I was back for my studies. And also for sending me home that Christmas morning. Truly a friend I can count on.So, a big thank you and do let me no if I am of any help.

5) Sarita

A big thank you and a hug for listening to me pour my heart out at the time I needed most. And also, for allowing me to stay over! I really appreciate it. Hope to return your favour one day. And as promised, will get you your Tatiana=) & it was nice having you around back home and to be able to explore my primary school, thanx to you.

6) Rathi

Thank you for filling me up with all the stories=) and keeping me happy. I sort of felt like I was back in the class and did not miss anything, thanx to you.

P/S= Off to gym now. Have a blessed day!
