First of all, I think I owe all of you an explanation for such a long disappearance. Now that it's the festive season again, there should be lots of interesting happenings and therefore there should be much to blog about, so there shouldn't be any reason for cobwebs to appear around here.
But it was precisely because of Chinese New Year, my Wednesday got so busy that I nearly forgot to breathe, and my family moved to Tanjung Rambutan (NOT the Hospital Bahagia, thank you) to stay with my relatives - a place where internet sounds futuristic, and not to mention moving in and out of the kitchen all day long without substitutes. Now now, let me catch my breath. So, that should be a good excuse.
Now, now,
a very Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who sees this, regardless of race, language or religion (for all you know, I do have readers of other races *winks*). May the new year bring prosperity beyond measurements and pleasant surprises beyond expectations!
Ah, that sounds like what I wish for - alot alot of money, and ... something that may not come true.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's the truest and greatest joy of them all?
Tell me not of being the fairest, for that is only superficial; yet tell me not of great wealth, for wealth is never satisfying. The truest joy of them all happens when you find what you lose, and understand how much it means to you.
It is when something's gone, only then we realize we how we never treasured them when we still had them. Only then we know we once had them. Only then we know how much they mean to us because of how empty we feel without them, only to realize it's all too late. But we don't want to feel empty, we want them back, so we seek. And after rounds of disappointment and frustration, we finally succeed. And then, looking at what we've regained, knowing that we will never take them for granted anymore, feeling so relieved they are finally back in our possession - these, are what make the truest joy. Because it comes when you are most honest with yourself.
Remember this -
life is a long stretch of searching? This time, I add in:
because we never know what we've got til it's gone, so we constantly seek what we've lost.Did you lose something recently?
