Life : A bowl of rice

 

as an Asian I barely remember any Chinese family meals I've had that is served without rice.

its just too incomplete a meal without it, I guess.

so then dare I equate rice with life?

x

I like to see rice as my life.

with everyone I meet, its like the dishes that complement my bowl of rice.

and with that, a little of my rice gets eaten up, just like my lifeline.

its also up to you as to how you end your meal at the end of your lifeline.

are you going to stick with only the same dishes all the time?

or do you prefer a vast variety so much you cannot remember everyone of them?

are you going live a spiced up life with some?

or one that is bland and simple?

x

no matter how you live it,

most importantly is that you feel satisfied at the end of your meal.

no regrets.

just a big smile and tummy to end with.

 

Christmas!

 

two more sleeps and..
its the most lovely time of the year again - Christmas!

every Christmas I always hope for snow outside my window
(despite the fact that Malaysia is hot like youknowwhat)
anyways.
and Christmas is also the time where I reflect on whatever I've done throughout the year.
Trying to change bad habits or striving to make better choices.

no matter how you're celebrating Christmas this year.
I shall wish you all the best as you usher in the New Year.
Come up with some new goals.
Chasing some recent or old dreams.
Letting go of whatever you know you should.

*also, a big shoutout to the Big Guy up there - Jesus!
it's HIS birthday after all.
and my Christmas wouldn't have been more complete without HIM.

anddddddd. I finally decided on my ultimate Christmas wish.

A TAME FOX

Life - 10 things I love most

The simple little things in life that may not seem much to others but the world to you.

Everyone has different little pleasures they find in life,

and I just decided to blog about the 10 things that I find lovely, and a blessing truly in my life.

1. the sound and smell of rain
 

 

Of course the reasons include some cliché ones like

 a great weather to get cozy indoors, sweater days etc.

But another reason is because

Malaysia is a hot hot hot country.

And if you're a Malaysian I think you'll definitely be grateful

if there's sign of rain after umpteenth days of hot sun!

 

2. stars

I recently came back from Genting Highlands and managed to lie under the stars for a whole hour.

And may I say, I am willing to do that everynight!

As stars as your ceiling, there's nothing more beautiful, really.

 

3. the smell of ABC soup from my kitchen

There are days when I am awfully tired coming back from college (or before this year, school).

The mere smell of (this wonderful soup) made by my parents is sufficient to lighten up my mood.

Seriously. I am blessed.

 

4. the beach

Penang is blessed with a long strip of beautiful beaches.

And nothing beats the feeling of warm sand under one's toes and the smell of salty water.

Nuff said !

 

5. the smell of baked pastry

do I even have to elaborate?

 

6. clothes

both designing and buying them!

and I simply adore the smell of new clothes too! (yes they do have a smell)

 

7. Christmas

need I say more!
the coziness, Christmas lights, the shopping, the together time with friends and family,
and most of all it's Jesus' birthdayyyy.

8. sincere smiles
yes, I do have a soft spot for those.
when people are genuinely happy you can feel the happiness too.
its a bliss, really.

9. sunsets
I get to see these once in a while and I think its a real treat.
that few minutes when the skies turn from blue to orange to purple.
its just breathtaking.

10. little flowers by the road
yes, I think these are lovely.
no matter if they're planted or wild flowers.
I think these are like surprises and will brighten up my day no matter what!

so there you have it! my simple list of a few little happiness I enjoy in life.
now, what's yours? (;
