Dream and Do.

dream big

Talked to Kak Ya earlier today. We will be working on a big project. 

I am so excited and I have my fingers crossed.

Really hope for the best and I hope that Allah will make it happen.

I already have the rough ideas of how it looks.

Now, I have to do a lot of researches and later, struggling with the proposal.

Hmm, research...proposal.. 

Of course, it is not easy and comes with big responsibilities. 

But I know I can do this.. InshaAllah..

Sure, there are risks involved and I could lose a lot of money.

But there are risks involved too if I'm not doing this.

All of life involves risk. So, let's give it a try. Who knows if my rezeki is here :)

I leave Him because only He knows the suffering

For every insult you throw my way and behind me,

I pray for nothing more 

but

for you to suffer twice as much as I did.

life guarantees.

We don't know what will happen tomorrow.

We don't even know what tomorrow will bring--

What our life will be.

"We have to take every moment as it comes, and be prepared for

heartbreak and devastation.

We are all human, making it through the toughest times. 

All we can do in life is hope and pray for the best and

live every moment as it's our last"

Life has no guarantee.

Today you are with your loved ones, tomorrow he/she is already with another, 
or you are with another.

Today you are happy with him/her, tomorrow he/she become your enemy.

Today you are excited to start planning for your dream wedding with him/her, tomorrow the wedding dress left untouched. 

There's no guarantee about anything and everything.

It is worrisome to think, frightening to ponder.

A dear friend of mine, spent 8 years in a relationship with a guy.
Got engaged for only 1 day, and broke up.
Which frightened me.

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
