Greed...a natural defect.

God, if I can't have what I want, let me want what I have. ~ Anonymous prayer

This is an interesting quote that i'll like to share. Never in my life that i've prayed to God, I prayed for contentment in everything that i have in my life. I was never satisfy with what i have, and it couldn't be cure until this moment that i'm typing.

Human greed can never be satisfy. I'm not exaggerating because it's true. Sadly, it's a natural defect that we were born with.

Parent's will never be satisfied with their children...
Children will always want more freedom from their parents...
Husbands will always think their wives should be more beautiful...
Wives will always think that their husbands should be more wealthier than suppose...
People will always think that they deserve better...
More money, more success, more enjoyment, more, more, more.....!


That's human. Apparently, that's me too.

I was never content with what i have, never. I keep questioning myself " Why am i facing this?", "Why is this happening to me?", "Why can't it be the way i wanted it to be?".

Yes, all the countless "whys" that will never satisifed my hunger for its answers. Answers that might not made any changes to my already reasonable good life.

We were taught from young to understand that we shall not greed. It's the basic moral concept that we learned at home, at schools, at work, at life...
But somehow, we couldn't understand the meaning, we could never learn not to greed.. Irony isn't it?

We despised the acts of greed shown by others, but yet, do we hate ourselves for acting it out?

Well, i guess that's life. Full of contradictions and hypocrism. And that includes myself.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
