Boy, i was exhausted today.
Training today was EXTRAGAVANT, it was really damn tiring but i don't blame Papa Jahat for doing that since it felt really good to go through such a ravenous workout & get it done with.
I wasn't in the mood actually for training. I almost didnt make it.
I almost just pass the training today but hey, something made me gain the courage up to just go for it. I have this guilty feeling if i absent for training or not capable of doing the workout that was given.
Baa baa don't have to say it, i know la baa i'm weird in so many ways but hey, you're not yourself if you can accept your weirdness, isn't it??
I was quite mad today with Eric & my father.
Yes, my FATHER because...
Mmm, well how to say ahh?? I dunno, i just hate the lecture just now he gave to us in the car & hating it more when i look at Eric's sour face, i can read it. It's the " Owh, whatever you say" kind of look. I was damn annoyed with Eric when i have to be the one that's need to be patient when dealing with his attitude.
Ok, maybe i'm overreact about the whole thing because things like this happen in life, situation where by at one point, a sister was annoyed with the little brother.
A stuborn daughter who refuse to listen to anything that was said by her father or mother just because she think that they were wrong. * But you have to admit sometimes they can be wrong but you just don't want to say it to them, afraid that the mother-daughter talk would be longer*
Parents who always said that they were just doing their responsibility to assure safety & karma of their children & a whole lot more. Sometimes you can't just blame them, just because it's human nature.
Somehow i think because the way i'm saying about all this things, i received an email from my dear cousin who's diving now at Mabul, Sipadan. A long way from home. Abang Bob sent me the mail but seriously, it wasn't something that i expected from him.
It open my heart thou about
F A M I L Y
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.
He said, 'Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'
We were very polite, this stranger and I..
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to me and said,
'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.
'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'
I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'
I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER
(I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
God bless you
That was the mail he sent me & somehow, it touched me just like a pat on my back. Maybe when commplicated situation happens, maybe we should just chill out.
Haha, thanks Abang for sending just the right greetings from there. You read my mind & i find that very surprising.
I have my meany side in me & there's no doubt about that but i understand that being nice looks very hard but yet it's actually very easy.
We have to admit thou being MEAN is very easy but yet, the result is not pretty.
But that's just me.
Who am I to said about things like this?? Hah, just Ann.
* Just for your information, ok.. I'm not being emotional. Not at all*
Family. We might be annoyed with them but we love them anyway 'cause
they are part of our life..
