Lil' Things in Life
[My new Braun 4 in 1 blender - complete with a hand motor, masher, wisk, ice crusher and 2 different size blending container]
I've always knew - it's the lil' things in life that really matter. Big chunks of happy things are great, but when they go... They really do all disappear all in one go. Personally, I don't think I deserve a few of those big magical disappearing tricks, but this world ain't too fair anyway. Plus things don't always go as I want them to be. I NEVER blame anything or anyone for these - I just think it's God's will... Or perhaps an inevitable truth.
Hence I really do enjoy every bit of my life, though I might not show it. When I drink a cup of coffee - I make sure it's a piping hot caffe latte with extra shot from ground Brazillian or Costa Rican coffee beans blended to at least 80% of its flavour, served with steamed low fat soya milk with covers no more than 10% of the top of my cup. When I eat a piece of steak - I make sure it's Tesco's finest quality beef fillet grilled to perfection, served with peppercorn cream sauce together with grilled rosemary and buttered potato chunks with a healthy portion of mixed garden salad of cherry tomatoes and lettuce served with a healthy topping of french dressing... Oh, and a glass of apple juice too. Someone remind me later to post up my recipe for a nice steak. =P
Of course, life is not all just about food. For the past week, I have been spending a few late nights with my sister doing laundry and playing Need For Speed Most Wanted (it's a racing car game for those gaming illiterate people) on the Ps2. I really cherrish those lil' moments. That's how we build up our memories.
I think to a certain degree, I have become timid. I'm not afraid of giving big, but I'm afraid of losing big. I no longer desire to take big leaps in life or be daring. But I guess that's the price to pay for turning into a coward. Until the day I decide to pick up my courage once again, I would just stay here and be happy with the lil' things in life: giving small, receiving small.

HI,
Wow that was a wonderful thought... its the small things that sometimes bring major happiness, coz you never expect those happy moments.. as for happiness from a mega occasion id concerned... it's anticipation spoils the fun sometimes...
Keep Smiling dude
Sumit
sumit: dat is very true. u take care too! =)
wendy: but dun forget when da time comes 2 build up courage 2 make a move on da big stuff... =P
Can I stay with u in Manchester? :D
coz of me or da mosquito free environment? =P
Both? Hahaha
just another tragedy: hahaha... excuse moi madamme, r u flirtin wif moi? =P
poetic u know...but 4 am?! lol bit too enthusiastic?
Its good to appreciate the small things, coz they're the ones ull miss most..
christina: i do miss da small things... but problem is... my big things in life r made up of lil' things too... n 2 lose a big thing... its like losing many many lil' things...
hmm trueeee....but I still believe the small things in life are the best, like a crazy car ride with friends, some random convo that you have on one friday of some month of some year...something that someone says which is so funny every1 can't stop laughing....so u know, learn to be happy with what you have at the end of the day I guess....
christina: true true, however... if we juz sit here n enjoy those lil' things in life - one will nvr get 2 achieve da greater things in life, nvr move on. one will be stagnant n nvr want more out of their life. for now, stagnant is good, but later in life, one should ask 4 more... somethin like dat... =P
haha okok so u want change i guess...dats always good...
christina: no... not really change... but i juz dun think a person should be juz happy 4 where they r... they should always believe theres somewhere further they can acheive... in a sensible way of course...
for sure, but sometimes dnt u think ppl should be satisfied with what they have at that particular pt. in time? Like sometimes you might try to acheive more things but end up losing more than u started off with...
christina: maybe satisfied for a moment, but not stay happy stayin dat way 4 long. life is all bout risk takin, n u wont know until u try, or u'll regret it.
