My Best

Throughout the years fighting against the illness together with KAR WAI, I had never learnt tired. The strength within myself was incredible and extraordinary that no one would ever believe! In fact, it was KAR WAI who gave me the strength; I kept thinking, if HE can, why can't I. Everyone was praising me tremendously, some even saluting me for the things that I had done. However, do you know that those things were nothing big to be admired about? I just wanted to best for KAR WAI, so I gave the very best of me. I know that I couldn't afford to have a negative mindset at any point of time during the crucial moment.

Everyone has the same strength, it is just that you have yet to grasp or reach it. I am sure that you will, in time. I would rather you keep the time of praising me to chant and pray for KAR WAI. Is it wonderful to save some time, have a moment of silence within yourself to pray for KAR WAI? If you find the time to browse on our blogs, I am sure that KAR WAI meant someone special to you.

I am one lucky girl. Family members, relatives, friends, strangers from everywhere are wishing the same thing to me. I know, thank you all and yes, I will definitely take very good care of myself from now onwards as KAR WAI had always wanted the best and happiness for me. I shall never let anyone of you especially HIM down. Needless to worry about me as I am always strong as I used to be.

Cheers with many thanks and best regards,

One Life

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for" ~Greek philopspher, Epicurus~

It made me think twice, all over again and again. It took a breakdown, a moment of silence to realize that the priorities and aspirations I had set in life were not fulfilling my desire. So when I decided to give it all up, everyone wanted to know why. (8). To the rest of the world, I was throwing everything away; my career, my family, my life. Well, yes, everything and everything means EVERYTHING. (duh... to myself)

Whatever had happened, had already happened and it made one fact painfully clear : HAPPINESS IS SUBJECTIVE

One has only one life, one chance. What will you choose or be?

I gave up what used to be my dreams, but I have new ones now. I'm content. For now.

One Aim

"It's impossible" says Reason
"It's reckless" says Experience
"It's painful" says Pride
"Try!" says Dream

The challenge... to bring a Dream to Life...

Nice. I copied from Toyota Ad; not from my brain (",)
It is very true indeed.

Fate

“Everything happens for a reason. Every person is born into this with hopes and wishes for a life filled with wonder and color. But fate sometimes deals a blow to those dreams. Life is paves with trials and tribulations that will challenge a person’s faith”

I read these words from a magazine and it suddenly struck me. I had been riding on a rollercoaster for a long time. Exhaustion is the best word. I could not bring myself to stand strong so easily and I needed time. During the fatigue moment, my mind became more vulnerable and easily affected by internal and external factors. I wanted to kick, scream and really cry; I just couldn’t.

“It’s great to want to make people happy but make sure you aren’t sacrificing too much or you’ll just end up with full of resentment. Learn to forgive and forget”
Beautiful and yet so meaningful, it was spoken by my mum.

It is true that everything happens for a reason but only time will tell why some of us are chosen to face such adversity. While we try to find the answer, we persist and with conviction we just have to face it.

Be strong.

Believe

I might seem like unbelievably strong from the outside (some said), but behind closed door, my weak side comes out. Exhaustion strike, physically and mentally. Too big, too many voices, the struggle of realisation of the truth. The confusion I am experiencing is a totally normal part of the deliberation process. I seek the path of calmness and peacefulness; and learn every moment. It actually helps me to manage more effectively.

I also let the anger-monger in me out by finding a release mechanism. If I don’t express it, there’s a risk of winding up numb, and having the feelings surface in different ways such as fatigue and dumbness. It often happens. An old-fashioned way might work; punching my pillow and cry under it afterwards. On the other hand, the pillow will also become even softer. Nice, a multipurpose pillow.

I learnt to get myself worked up about acceptance, furious or frustration though I may be humbled or insulted, but once I accept it, I begin to experience appreciation, the key to strengthening myself. The attitude of optimism operates from a position of strength, confidence and possibilities. And that is how I stand so strongly to ease the exhaustion.

I believe in “Susah susah sekarang, senang senang kemudian” and whatever goes around, comes around. While there are different dimensions and perceptions to a person’s mind, it is still me and it helps me to survive.

Believe.
