Looking for a happy heart...

I feel something's missing...  Ok, I should change the way I feel now, I wanna have happy heart...  What is the best thing in my life now, LOVE... Hurm... My love... I love him not because he's rich or handsome, but because of all the little things he has been doing for me... Happy thoughts.. happy heart... Holler! holler! holler!

  • He wakes up early in the morning, to do laundry, (machine wash, hand wash, jemur kain) every weekends.
  • He would let me have enough beauty sleep sampai terjaga sendiri during weekends.
  • He's always been taking me anywhere I wanna go during weekends as much as he can.
  • He's always been carrying my lappy bag for me.
  • He's always been putting lauk-pauk in my plate when we go lunch or dinner together.
  • He's always been getting a glass of water for me when I'm thirsty.
  • He's always been texting me to ask whether I already have lunch.
  • He's always been calling or texting me to remind me of my duties at work if he's aware of them.
  • He's always been driving me to work or anywhere else.

  • He doesn't mind taking the train back home everyday so that I can use the car.
  • He doesn't mind getting wet as long as the umbrella protects me from the rain.
  • He takes me to eat at where I wanna eat only.
  • He's always been switching on the electric mosquitoes repellent for me every night. 
  • He's always been putting a blanket over me at night while I'm asleep. 
There's many-many more... But I seriously need a shower now... ;D

Wait a sec, I just recall something.  I love Maxis new TV ad especially when it says "Doesn't it feel great when someone always puts you first?". Reminds me how sweet my dear sweetheart is...



It might sound pretty lame or poyo... But I don't care! I love my sweetheart so very much... :')

Anyway, may Allah bless us with lifetime happiness... Ameen...

Stand up for yourself? To Do OR Not To Do.

The quickest way to turn a healthy debate into an unhealthy debacle is to have it with someone who turns your words around until they mean something else. Then he argues that point, completely ignoring what you really said.


Why do they do that?
  1. Sometimes it’s that you’re absolutely right but it’s a truth they’re not ready to acknowledge. 
  2. Sometimes they just like a fight. 
  3.  And sometimes they want to let you know how little your thoughts or feelings matter to them.
 What can I do?

If you find yourself dealing with that third type, avoid them if at all possible. That’s a form of abuse, and letting them get by with it is not going to reward you or them, and it may even encourage them to do it more.

If they’re just argumentative, you may be able to enlighten them about more rewarding argument strategies. Some people are willing to learn, if only you explain to them why their tendency to look for a fight sucks for you, and what you wish they’d do instead.

If you’re delivering a truth they just can’t handle, stick to your guns mercilessly.
  • Tell them they’re deflecting the point;
  • Tell them that’s not what you said;
  • Tell them everything they’re saying is irrelevant and they can either deal with what you really said or go away.   
 It may sound mean, but reasonable doesn’t work on people who are unreasonable.


It’s the authority figure whose in a position to punish me even if all I do is stand up for myself

One obvious solution is to avoid arguing with this person. Just nod politely and bow out of any arguments they start as quickly as possible. If they won’t let you do that:
  • Enlist allies. Rarely do these people only annoy or harass just one person. Check with co-workers, your other parent, etc., to see if they feel it’s hard to communicate with the person. Remember your words might get back to the person, so choose them with care in case you’re forced to explain them later.
  • Twist their words first. You’d be surprised how many of these people are powerless to escape from their own trap when it’s turned on them. Pay attention to how they do it and learn those techniques.
  • Look for people who are able to dominate the person for reasons other than having authority over them. If the person doesn’t pull this stuff on some of his friends, observe how they keep him leashed and see what you can learn.
  • If you find this person doesn’t pull this on everyone, but just on people “like you” (i.e., his opposite political party or just people in one department of your workplace or, unfortunately, people of certain races, religions, etc.), then you’re dealing with a bigot. There’s not much one can do with bigots, especially if they’re in authority. It’s time to go to someone who has authority over them, if possible – especially if you’re reasonably sure the people above them don’t share their bigotry.
 Extracted from here.

I guess words can kill ourselves if we're not be careful with them.  A reminder to myself: think before we say anything...  Our initial intention mungkin suci murni, which we just want to stand up for ourselves, but how do we do it? Listen and observe first then learn from the TWISTER... Hurmmm...

Family tree?

Raya  is the only time of the year for family reunion...  Like last year, the year before, previous years, without fail our small family, my siblings and in-laws plus their children went to pay a visit to my Papa's house.  It has been a routine to see him once in a year during Raya since 30 years ago.  Yeah 30 years ago, my mom took us out from his house, she really had to gather her courage and do it.

I know I am not being a good daughter especially to my Papa. It's rather tough to be a person who barely knows who his father really was in the past ... and is now...  Everytime we went to see him, he tend to dig up all the history of his asal usul.  He's like still living in the past.  He can't even be bothered of his present life.  Tengok keadaan dia, memang sedih, tapi mcm mana nak tolong.  Berdosakah hamba Mu ini?

I was told that my great great great great great (tak taulah brape byk "great") grandfather was the famous "Daeng Merewah".  But that was loooooong time ago.  Now I'm just a plain Jane, a girl next door, a goody two shoes, who doesn't even have her own house yet.  It's good to know the lineage and my roots! But... what's the use of it now? To be proud for nothing? Hurm... Biarlah terus hidup bahagia bersederhana... :)

Little fly - fly away

Here's a dialogue during dinner just now between me and hubby...
 


Me : Tu nyamuk tolong! tolong! nyamuk...
Hubby:  Biarlah, nyamuk tu nak hidup jugak macam kita...
Me : Tapi... Nanti dia gigit...
Hubby: Dia tak gigit...
Me : Nape plak dia tak gigit?
Hubby : Cos only nyamuk betina gigit before dia bertelur. Yg tu nyamuk jantan...
Me: Mana you tau, tu nyamuk jantan?
Hubby : Tadi nyamuk tu dah tunjuk IC dia...
Me : Haahahahaaaa!!! Seriously x bley blah!!! (ROTFL)

At school I was not a big fan of Maths and Science.  Fail la wei... I had never paid attention during these two classes.  So, today I learned,
"Mosquitoes have mouthparts that are adapted for piercing the skin of plants and animals. While males typically feed on nectar and plant juices, the female needs to obtain nutrients from a "blood meal" before she can produce eggs". ~ taken from here.

So Ms. Nyamuk, pretty pretty please don't bite me...
