old diaries, old memories

I found some of my old diaries, and I would like to share one of the story here as I found it very amusing. This post was written about a year ago on 2 January 2008. I think it was written a day before the semeseter starts.It starts with :


"Yesterday night, I slept early and suddenly was woke up around 2.30 am. I tried to continue sleeping, but instead I turned up tossing and turning on my bed. So, I decided to pack up some of my items to bring to UiTM. As I was packing, I found my long forgotten friends - my old diaries. The diary that has been with me through my teenage years.I flipped through it and checked the date. It was dated somewhere 6 to 7 years back. All the memories during high school was written in it.

I spent nearly an hour reading through it. Many different thoughts and feelings came over me as I sit there by my bed flipping my old friend. Happy, sad, dissapointment, embarassed and etc.The stories (my stories actually) was actually rather funny and some what embarassing too.Haha.."


I can say that most of the stories in the diaries were about friendship and some of my crushes. Feel like smiling when I think back about those years. I wonder where there are now? Having a crush is really a crazy, unexplainable feeling since you like that person but he doesn't know how much you like him. Every sight and conversation with that person makes your heart lurch with excitement and you tend to hold on to that 5 second of conversation you had with him for the whole week! You can't even stop smiling to your ears.


Although the inside of you are screaming frantically, you still manage to control your emotion and you facial expression (as you can't help but smile and you started to blush). So for the rest of the week, no matter how short your conversation was, you will play the scenario again and again for the rest of the day. I personally can remember some of the scenes I had with my crushes and it really makes me laugh.

But the stories I wrote back then was kind of short. I wish I wrote more back at those days. Thus, I think I will start writing more now. Maybe 10 years from now, when I'm 30 years old, have a bunch of kids and is a successful corporate women, I'll look back at those diaries and be reminded of the fun and excitement I had during my university years.

Life comes once, so appreciate every single second of it.

An hour to live

If you have an hour to live, who would you call?..

What will you say?..

And, why wait?


These short but meaningful phrase hit me when I was browsing a bookshop. It was written in a book titled "An Hour To Live, An Hour To Love". I read through the first page and end up reading it in an express way within one hour. I must admit that I can't read it at my own leisure as i felt that the storekeeper keeps eyeing me and I keep changing my reading spot to run from his detection. Haha.. But, all in all, I learned a lot from the book. The whole time while I was reading the book, I kept thinking of my parents and all those people who are close to my heart.

Sometimes, we take life for granted. Past experiences has thought me to appreciate every moment I have but as human, we do tend to forgot life greatest lessons. But, the real meaning behind the book was that we should always appreciate those around us and tell them how much we love and appreciate them everyday as you never know what will happen tomorrow.

Just like in the book. It's a story of a wife who wrote it in the memories of her deceased husband. The book started with a letter written by her husband on their anniversary day. The letter was an expression of his undying love to his wife, the one person that he would call if he has one more hour to live.

So, dear friends, I recommend you to read this book as it is not only a heart feeling story of one love story, but there's a deeper meaning behind it. Let it remind us that if you ever had one more hour to live, who would you call? What will you say?...and why wait?



P/S : if I'm not mistaken, the husband was also the famous author of "don't sweat the small stuff"

A HAPPY DAY

Today, is the last episode of Spa Q. To all Spa Q fans - those who admit it, or hide it =) - it's the conclusion that we've been waiting for. Though the ending was a bit disappointing, but atleast the tension of guessing the end has well, ended. . I must say, it's fun watching this drama series especially as I share these with my housemate. Still remember, every weekdays, by 6.30p.m, all of us girls will be patiently waiting for the drama to start. I guess that's the good thing about television. It brings people together. But, with every ending, comes a new beginning. Can't wait what will fill my 6.30pm slot next week.



P/S: met a cute celebrity today. HAHA.. Took pictures and get his autograph. My first time experience of facing a real life celebrity. Though I was nervous, but at the same time, I was so excited! I guess, my friend who was with me that day was even more excited. Dear friend, I can guess what's the background of your desktop now.Haha..Sweet dreams then =)

the untold stories

Everyone has a story deep inside them. These stories could change the way they see the world. You never knew what the person, sitting right beside you now might have to tell. How their days have been? How's life has been treating them? what are they thinking right now?

It is true that human themselves are good actors. We face the world with a mask on our face. I'm not saying that everyone is a fake, but it's human nature to survive in the social world. But, sometimes, we have to hide our true feeling. We face the world with a happy and brave face or just even smile, even when someone totally pissed us off. We even laugh out loud with our friends, just to shake off the sadness of a broken heart that's been gloaming.

So, it's best if we just listen. A simple act the most of us tend to forget. You can know someone just by listening to them. I've met people with their own philosophy about love or life because they were hurt too many times or turned down too many times. These untold stories makes everyone look at the same picture but interpret it differently by looking through their own eyes.

But, whatever it is, these untold stories make someone real, and create who they are today. You never know pain till you feel it. You never know love, till you experience it. And you never know life, till you face it. Thus, never judge a person too early as we never know how much we'll be able to learn from them. All it takes is a simple act of listening and building rapport.

So, what's your story to tell?
