Summer Love.

I learned a big lesson on my life yesterday. I'm not going to mention that person's name because she will surely understand I'm mentioning about her if she read this. However, from her, I learned that jealousy and with no patient can ruin a relationship. A relationship between two friends or a relationship between one couple of girlfriend and boyfriend. 

People commonly take blatant jealousy to be a sign of true affection and commitment.

"Isn't that sweet?", they might say.

"She's trying so hard to protect the relationship. She must really care."

Well, not so fast. Jealousy is a sign all right. But what it points to is....... trouble ahead.

The bottom line: jealousy ain't cute! Listen girl, stop being the jelly-girl that guys-and-girls-can't-stand. Learn to trust him. Coping with your green-eyed monster. With what did you do yesterday, you can ruin good communication between people!

Love vs Money

"When I love someone

Even if I have to go broke I don't mind.

I'll even buy the world 

if I can just make that person happy."


Have you ever heard about money vs love?
Which one are you voting for?
Is money or love more important?

Well, I really think this is a silly discussion. The comparison is idiotic.
As for me, money cannot replace love. 
However, relationship also cannot survive with love alone.
But both money and love can increase happiness and security.

WHY??

OK, let's take an example. Let's say love between you and your mother.
All mothers in this world will never leave their children's through thick and thin. 
Yes, it is true!
BUT, your mother will 'leave' you if she got sick and you don't have health insurance and enough money for a doctor. 
Got it?

Both money and love can give you a way of ensuring your safety, and providing your satisfaction. Perhaps it's a hug or perhaps it's a new car. Money may or may not buy you happiness, but it does allow you to be miserable in comfort. Money is fine if you have it but if you let it control your life, you are lost. Reach for the really important things in life and try hard to avoid greed and envy.

Last week, my junior came to me and ask either I know how to cook or not. Haha, I don't know how to respond but he makes me burst out laugh. You know why.. I know some recipes but I rarely cook.. But, yeah.. I'm not really good at cooking. I'd try for one day, realize how terrible whatever I made is, and then not go back for WEEKS. During my first year living alone, all I cooked is nuggets, burgers, roti canai and other frozen foods. How terrible is that? Haha.. I know I know.. Don't laugh at me. Pemalas plus tak tau masak. Easy formula. Sometimes, when the rajin comes, I will use instant-meal-ready-to-eat instead. Thanks to Pak Cik Brahim's and Mak Nyonya. You guys, really save my life! Haha. Okay, back to my junior's story.   

         "Why are you asking?"

         "I watched this one food show on Tv yesterday and they show some Malaysian foods."

         "Oh, okay.."

      "And now, I feel like eating Laksa Nyonya.. Do you know how to cook it? Will you          please cook it for me?" 

What?!! Laksa Nyonya?? Haha I don't know how to cook Laksa Nyonya. But I googled the recipe and yup, it is not as easy as we cook instant noodle. So, I told him that I can make him Laksa Penang instead, which is close(?) to Laksa Nyonya if he wants. Bagai mengantuk disorongkan bantal. The idea of cooking Laksa Penang light him up. I listed him some ingredients to buy while I will buy rice noodle and fish and we decided to throw a lunch party with the other lab members next Wednesday, which is today.

So, today is the day. We start cooking at 10 am. With the helps of all the lab members, the Laksa siap within 2 hours! Here we go! We had Laksa Penang and Air Limau Nipis for lunch. Relieved.

Lunch is ready

lose..

I wish I could turn back time. Impossible as it may seem. But I wish I could so bad.

I've made mistakes, said the wrong things..

How did I let that happen? And repeat the same mistake. If only I could rewind and stop doing the same mistake. But, if only..

If I could find a way I would take back those words that hurt them. 

I don't know why I did the things I did. I don't know why I said the things I said.

I didn't really mean to hurt any hearts. I didn't want to see them go..

Too strong to tell you I was sorry..

To proud to tell you I was wrong..

I am sorry for nasty words I said..

I am sorry for the way it hurt you..

I am sorry that I didn't think before I spoke..

I am sorry that I let my emotions gets the best of me..

I am sorry that it almost cost me our friendship..

I am sorry that things are not the way they used to be..

I am sorry..

Now, keep in mind Elin, when you lose, don't lose the lessons..

too short (?)

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,

all the walks I want to take,

all the books I want to read,

and all the friends I want to see - John Burroughs

Allah has given you 24 hours how many will you give Him? Ahah! *cricket sounds*

Thing to ponder..

Oh, speaking of friend, Tuna just got hitched last week. Shared date with Malaysia General Election! Haha. So we called them 'Pengantin Hari Mengundi'.

Well, everything's about the same. Nothing much has changed between three of us, Tuna, Tubi and I, although two of them are already married.
I still feel like they are same as before. And I don't even look them as a 'married woman'. Sebab still tak matured. Haha.

Erm, but might be there is a little space in my heart, left empty.

Dude, who did not sad when their best friend get married and they could not be there on their big day? I missed Tubi's.. And now Tuna's..

These two girls like my own siblings and I should not miss their weddings :(

Le sighs. Yeah, yeah.. Things happened for a reason.. 

To Tuna,

Barakallahu lakuma wa baraka alaikuma wa jamaah baina kumaa fee khair..

Congratulations the newly weds!

Wish you peaceful and wonderful times ahead in life.

May Allah bless both of you with warmth and care.

Happy married life!

I know you can't read this post since I changed my blog's link. Well, maybe it's better :)

Hugs and kisses.

Like A Skyscraper

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper.. Like a skyscraper!

mak: biar orang buat kita, jangan kita buat orang. okay?
