Thursday Thought : About Life

-

 If you live an ordinary life, you will have ordinary stories - some people said.

Well, I lived mine with full of ups and down. Sometimes am drowning with hopes and dreams when reality stuck nowhere. I am not sure what life to call it. Not ordinary, not even typical. It's overwhelmed but sometimes exciting. So, what kind of stories can I tell?

About an ordinary human living in a normal life full of adventure? 

Life itself is a stage for that thing you call adventure. Life without F will be just a lie you made in this living arena. F is the fun part, the f*cked-up portion, the feeling you are allowed to have in different situation and the frustration you may get throughout the journey. Not to mention the family and friends you need as a support system. You need the F to live life to the fullest.

Let me share you how, as an ordinary human being we can live an adventure life without trying too hard. I've learnt those throughout the years of finding the meaning of it, but some brilliant human summarized it in a better way. 

Here are 7 Rules of Life:

  1. Make peace with your past; so it you won't disturb your future (I learnt a lot from my past)
  2. What other people think of you is none of your business (but well, sometimes I do take that into account, in a professional way)
  3. The only person in charge of your happiness, is you. ( I wrote about this one here)
  4. Don't compare your life to others, it is the thief of joy (well said)
  5. Time heals almost everything (Yes! Remember, Allah has a perfect time for everything. Sabr.)
  6. Stop thinking so much (The worst part because I'm an overthinker. But I do lesser down my expectation)
  7. SMILE. You don't own all the problems in the world.

There you go, the principles to remember every time you think your life sucks. Life will somehow be an adventure journey once you face all the barriers without running away from it. Nothing is easy, dude. Even being a homo sapiens is not easy. You have routine, meeting, people to please, traffic to buzz, task to complete, movies to watch and worst, dreams to chase. 

So, lets not pulling around with this 'ordinary' thing and start to call ourselves an adventurer. Remember the 4th principle? Don't compare yourself with others but enjoy whatever you have and be grateful. Allah is fair. Be thankful to each morning as we are alive for another day. Be grateful for every dawn we can see with our beautiful pair of eyes. Be glad as we are still there for yesterday, today and perhaps, tomorrow.

And
don't forget to smile.

Disebalik Lirik Anak-Anak Kita - Karya Dato' M.Nasir

Dah hampir sebulan duk ralit layan lagu M.Nasir. I memang peminat M.Nasir dari zaman belajar. Mungkin sebab makna-makna tersirat di sebalik lagunya yang bukan je sedap untuk didengar, malahan seronok untuk dikupas. Tapi tak semua pun dapat dikupas dengan mudah. Jenuh juga la tanya encik google. Antara lagu kegemaran I yang patriotik ni adalah lagu Anak-anak Kita. Lagu ni sangat dekat di hati dan sepatutnya menjadi satu mantera untuk orang-orang Melayu. I bukan racist melampau. I faham erti keharmonian hidup di dalam masyarakat majmuk. It's okay. Kita dah lama hidup sekali. Rukun. Tapi, sebagai orang Melayu, I rasa kita patut menjaga hak kita seadanya. Hence the lyric: Jaga Jaga Anak Kita, Jangan Sampai Jadi Hamba Bait-bait di dalam lirik lagu ni jelas sebuah peringatan untuk kita yang hidup agar melakukan segala yang terbaik supaya anak kita nanti bakal menjadi manusia yang ampuh. Dengan perubahan politik semasa, ekonomi dunia yang jatuh bangun mengikut trend, peningkat...

Girls, pernah tak rasa u had enough of the world and people around u? And all u wanna do is escape the life u are in and just be by yourself..? I mean, as a human being, the one still breathing - yes. Semua orang pernah rasa macamtu. Kadang-kadang setiap bulan kita akan perlukan sekurang-kurangnya sehari untuk diri sendiri. Kadang-kadang bermusim, ikut mood atau stress level. Just me, myself and I. Tapi bila dah dapat 'me time' tu, tak tau pula nak buat apa. Lepas tu, asyik duk teringat kat semua benda dan semua orang, even for a second. Worst, tak sampai hati pun nak enjoy the 'me time' sebab teringat rumah, husband & anak-anak.  Look, it's nothing wrong to have your own sweet time.  Mom, u need to give yourself some time to breath and be a normal person, not merely a robot whose job is to satisfy everyone.  Wife..yes, u. Relax, your life is not 100% dedicated to be stressed doing the non-stop laundry and house chores. Bertenang dan bagi masa u...

Basic Skincare Routine untuk Newbie

Skincare ni memang topik favorite I tambah-tambah kalau orang minta tips atau pendapat. Sebab nya, I sendiri dah melalui proses menambahbaik kulit muka yang dulu banyak acne, jerawat pasir dan fine lines (sebab suka berkerut macam banyak giler masalah). So, entri ni nak cerita sikit pasal Skincare Routine yang I dah amalkan dan akan ditambahbaik dari masa ke semasa. Some of the Products I used for my Skincare Routine Perlu ke tambah baik? Yes, why not.  Sekarang my basic routine dah okay so I nak fokus untuk pores pulak. Maybe nanti kalau I rasa nak achieve glass skin goal pula, so my routine akan ditambah (atau dikurangkan) ikut sasaran. Cuma, untuk permulaan, asas rutin tu kena kukuh dulu. Trust me, it's not gonna be an instant result. Proses akan makan masa walaupun kulit tak ada masalah. Macam I, halangan utama adalah kurang rajin, sebab tu makan masa untuk betul-betul puas hati. Hahaha. But first, here are some disclaimer: 1 - This is gonna be Korean Skinc...
