Well alright, turn out.. My beef goulash wasn’t all that great.. The thing got burnt and there was this stong burnt smell.. ALAS, the great chef also fails now and then. HAHA.. I bet it’s the japanese pot, next time I will jus do it the conventional way…
Anyhow, I have been bugged of late.. Not affecting my life in anyway but just wanted to point out certain things here y’know on MY SPACE?
I must admit during my S@ days, I was alittle more selfish and self centered. I wanted to save my earnings and I didn’t realised the need to y’know like give my parents something.. Not that it is a NEED, but now that I am older, I feel that, we as Asians should keep certain gestures. Like showing that we are big and this is a token of appreciation from a child’s part.
It was not until about 3 years back? Before G and me got married that I made it a point to give something to my mom every month, so that she can buy herself a new top or buy something here and there. (my mom loves little collectibles, which I think is a clutter mess for the house!)
It was also during this time, that I suddenly realised that life is so fragile, the times when I drive pass an accident site, and see a black body bag. The number of newspaper articles I read about young people and young babies even, dying.. Makes me realised, that no one is an immortal.. And that time should be well spent, well rounded.. and although, I can’t save this world.. I can make an effort as to how I want my life to be.
At this juncture, I realised the word “EFFORT” is deemed differently by people.
Years ago, I promised myself I wouldn’t talk about my uneventful past relationship with a for a lack of a better word horrible guy. Well, long story short.. What I shared with him was used against me after we broke up.. Well, in short, he said that I was to be blamed for my brother’s “departure..” I promptly told him off and added in confidence that BLOOD IS ALWAYS THICKER THAN WATER.. And I was confident that in time to come we would be reunited as siblings as the brother and sister that we were since day 01 of my life.
However, today, at this present moment. I gather that is not such. The word “effort” comes to mind. If let’s say G and me quarrel, we would do our darnest to reconcile right? Even if my mom and me have some misunderstandings, I would like to clear the air before the day is over. Seriously.. During my S@ days, a chief steward mentioned to me, that he would like to make peace if ever he has to fly and his wife and him have had a quarrel. I think I subscribe to that..
Who knows what would happen tomorrow?
Well, ’nuff said.. We are all getting older and for me, will be a parent to a child one day.. “do what u want others to do upon you..”
Just think about it.. Would you like your son to do that to you?
P/s To end, this is my personal opinion.. (DISCLAIMER)
