Eat Pray Love

No, no... this post is not a review of the movie although I must say that it's a really good and inspiring one.

It's like... how nice if I could do that. Just let go of everything and go on a journey to re-discover myself. Unfortunately it's not so easy. Where do you get the money to do that? What happens when your savings run out? See!... I'm not really a risk taker, that's why I have so many of these questions in mind.

So for me, Eat Pray Love seems too impossible, but it inspired me to think of making changes to my life, ...... well maybe small changes. :-)

It's been a while since I have the feeling of moving somewhere and start anew. Then questions such as "Are you too old to be making these changes now?", "What if it doesn't work out?" would start to surface. Again all these questions defeated me.

So will I be in the same place, doing the same things, complaining about the same situations in the next few years time? Hopefully the inspiration I got from this movie is stronger than I thought... and that there will be some good changes to my life soon.

Resurrection... again

It's been almost 1 year that I have posted anything in this blog. It's such a shame to let it die but at the same time, I have been holding on to some stuff that I wanted to rant about, basically because some things are better not publicise out when this is a public blog as you do not know who would be reading it. Well also with the difficulties that in order to blog via blogger, you need to be in front of your computer as there is no mobile apps for you to do that.

However my discovery of a new mobile app for android sort of jolt me back to this blogging bandwagon again. I am using it to blog now. So hopefully the resurrection works this time around!

Ada gambar yang lebih cantik?

Every workday morning, I would always go to this stall to pack my usual morning coffee. Without my morning coffee, I would have a problem staying human through the first half of the day.

So anyway like most of these stalls, mamak owned or not, they would always sell cigarettes. As most of you know, the packaging of the cigarettes now include all these pictures of the bad effect of smoking such as throat cancer, lung cancer, dead foetus, etc.

One day while I was waiting for the Indonesian lady to make my coffee, I overheard a lady patron ordering a pack of cigarettes. When the stall owner handed her one pack, she said "Aiya... ada gambar yang lebih cantik"? (translation: Is there a nicer picture?).

Then the stall owner said "Okay, okay... kasi you gambar baby". (translation: Okay, okay, I will give you the one with the baby picture). The baby picture that he meant was the dead foetus.

I was like... what?
