Am I being way to nice...or people are way too rude??

I have something interesting that happened to me today, that I would like to share it in my blog.

Today, I followed my mum to Tesco S'ban 2, to stock up the weekly groceries.My mum was in a rush as she had to go to hand in the house keys to the new tenant ASAP.So, after buying some stuffs and while were about to leave, she had forgotten to buy fish and asked me to go and wait at the cashier aisle first, while she is going to buy some fish.

So there I was, with the shopping trolley, searching for the less congested aisle, as we are in a hurry and to save time.Then I found the perfect one.While waiting for my mum, I was lost in a reverie(as it was damn boring to stand there and wait for the next customer to be done) and there was this mak cik with her kids suddenly standing next to me.She was looking at me and the customer in front of me.I thought that maybe she is the wife or something.

Then suddenly, she asked me."Boleh tak mak cik beratur dulu?Satu barang je ni,"
she said with the muka tak malu and showing me of the item that she intends to buy.Thinking that she is older than me with loads of kids and she only got one item to pay(and the fact that my mum is nowhere to be seen yet), I said yes.Somehow, I know that I was saying yes for the wrong reasons.

So, with the 'muka tak malu' and a sly smile on the face, the stupid mak cik and her kids quickly cut the line and queue in front of me.I was kinda like, sentap.Dahlah malas nak beratur, muka tak malu, pastu tak kata 'thank you' (or terima kasih, if she knows English).Doesn't mean I'm young and all 'immature' like, she can pijak my kepala.Somewhere in the corner of my heart, I was cursing the mak cik and was also thinking, "Why did I say yes in the first place??".
I know that I'm partly wrong for not standing up to myself or anything, but I guess I did it with the thoughts that "Owh, she is way older than me.Tak pelah, mengalah sikit.Mak aku pun tak datang lagi.....and satu barang je kot....".The least she could do is to say "Thank you".That's all.

So, was I being way too nice to her, or was she being way too rude???

The path not taken...due to certain circumstances.

This morning, I went for a jog around my housing area.Woke up early today, around 6.50 and all equipped with my sneakers and ipod, I'm all ready to go and burn those calories.

Damn, I'm so not fit anymore and it was damn tiring.

I actually was starting to look like Forrest Gump, when he is running all over America with no apparent reason.I was running and running.

There was some 'pit stops'.I had to tie my stupid shoe laces(which reminds me that I need to get new sneakers soon...), and of course, taking a five minute break because I'm that close to fainting.That was how unfit I am.After abandoning gym and whatnot, especially after Raya.

There was time also when I was running, enjoying the scenery around my house, where there are...obstacles.There's dogs lying on the street, which forced me to go back and jog to another road, dogs barking from one of those houses...and there's this one time, an auntie actually warned me not to continue jogging down the road because '...ada anjing kat depan!'.Haha.

So, my jog today was full of erm, surprises and also obstacle.But I still keep on jogging until I reached home again.

This shows that in life, if you want something, you have to keep going in order to get it.Life is just like a path,a road, street or avenue...depending what you want to call it.There will be a few setbacks on your way to your destination or reaching a goal(in my case, it was the dog)...and you might have to turn around or look for another path.But, the rule is, keep going.Keep going no matter how tough the journey is.It's going to be tricky, but it is going to be worthy.So that's life for you.Not as smooth as you want to...full of surprises and setbacks.

If I'm going for a jog again, I know which road I should avoid now. =)

Music, the soundtrack of my life.Our lives.

When people or anything that require me to give details of my favourite past time, the first answer that I'll give is 'Listening to music'. Just like any other normal human beings, I like music.I listen to music a lot, but I can't play any instrument to create songs....or write a song....

but if there's one thing am good at, is analysing the lyrics of the song.

Weird, I know, but I often find it interesting to figure out the meaning of any songs that I listen to.Because each song has its own story.Just like us, everyone has a story to tell. There's every song to each chapter of your life.There's songs to help you to get through bad break-ups, songs that you dedicate to your loved ones, songs that taught you of the usage of explicit words and many others.

I remember sometimes, where I heard a song, when, with whom...as if each song that I've heard mark every single event in my life.There's time when I listen to a song, thinking, "hey, I remember hearing this song on my way to the hospital when my grandmother was rushed to the hospital.I was 14 years old", or remind you of a bad 'teenage angst' phase that you went through.

At home recently, I was checking out some CD collections that I owed.My, how I've grown over the past years. There were albums from Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Audioslave(the hardcore-est!!) and there's also recent ones like John Legend.Looking back, I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Those were my 'rock-star' phase. Tahap dewa naga(now I still listen to rock music, but not the hardcore ones like Radiohead etc, although some people think Radiohead is weird.) until there were a time that I 'Rock OD-ed'.Hahahaha. I just listen to Mix fm and Light and Easy coz I cant stand another rock music that time!

There's also a song that can help you express yourself, especially when you are not that expressive, I think....I f there's one good thing about music, it saved my life sometimes.When I'm down or sad, it cheers me up.When I'm on the verge of giving up in the gym, it helps keep me going.When I'm bored as hell, it occupies me like a good friend.

All we need is music in this life. =)

Lost and found: Part 1.

Today I went to KL after quite sometime....Things still remain the same, while some people and the environment around me is changing. Followed my mum to Selayang before picking up my niece as my sister need some 'peaceful' time to study for her exams.....

Like I mentioned above, everything is still the same.The buildings, the roads....nothing has changed that much.I was engrossed in 'sight-seeing' until I saw a Muslim's burial site.Not just like any other, this one has some sentimental values to me.You see, my grandfather (my father's father) was buried there. And I don't know the guy that much. I've seen him once, and that's my first and also last.I don't know him that much as a person, but I do know his name. And that's the only thing that make me feel attached to that name. That I'm his granddaughter.....I don't really remember him, until today, that is.

Later, I went to my sister's house. Just like what I had expected before, my niece has already forgotten about me after not seeing me for several months. My brother-in law tried to mention things that we did together (I babysit my niece for almost 3 months last year, hence the attachment) but to no avail. She doesn't remember me at all.And it's kinda sad. I guess, that's natural in life. To forget things(dunno if i'm making any sense here.am talking in gibberish).

Today I found some of the things that was lost from my memories, and some people also found something that was gone a long time a go from their memories(my niece, in this case).That's how life goes, I guess....

of a long train journey.....

Oooh Oooh Oooh
We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there is no doubt
I will stay with you
As each morning brings sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my loving you can rely
And I'll stay with you

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

Though relationships can get old
Have the tendency to grow cold
We have something like miracle
Yeah
And I'll stay with you

Oh I will stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I will stay with you when no one else is around
When the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

There'll be heartaches and pain,
Yeah
Through it all, we will remain
Heey
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, and they may go
But through the years I know
I will stay with you
In the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for the lifetime, yeah
And I'll stay with you
Oooh
I will stay with you

Oh I will stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I will stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you
Oh Everything will be fine
And I will stay with you
Through the end of all time
I will stay with you


Stay with you-John Legend

Oh well, just one of those most played songs in my laptop.
And having someone 'miming', singing this song to you on a long train journey,
while you're having fever and stomach ache, listening to your ipod.... that makes it much more lovely.

I'll stay with you.Ne me quitte pas.
