We will in one way or another always searching for something...some may be happiness, truth, love, identity,wealth etc. Me?? I am searching for that something still missing..
My blogger friend Eugene wrote this on his blog Friday.I am in search of...That is part of the title of my blog In search of. which remind me the reason why I had chosen that title for my blog. What was I seeking , what was I searching for.? Would you believe it..love, a little caring maybe? Now don't get me wrong. I was'nt looking for that kind of relationship,but rather a father-daugther type. She was just anyman would want for a daughter, friendly and warm and beautiful as well. Since I do not have a daughter of my own and when she agreed to be my god daughter , I was the happiest man on earth on that day. Of course I could not wait to share the news with my wife.But she was less enthusiastic about the whole thing and caution me to be prepared for disappointment.
This was because my first god daughter had deceided to severe ties , but that is another story which is too personal to share here. I was hoping this time I might get lucky and the relationship might impoved or last. Call it silly or pathetic but you can blame a guy (who has so much love to share) for trying can you.? Honestly I am not sure if things have improved or will improve in the future. Our relationship has been like a roller coaster. ups and downs.
Just a couple of day ago another girl came into my life. she called me papa. Oh no, here we go again.This time I am not going to get myself involved and be hurt later on. Better listen to the advice of my wise wife.
This story was sent to me by my friend Jane(thanks Jane) Just to encourage those who might be discourage. Keep going, dont give up.
One day a young lady was driving along with her father.
They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, What should I do?"
He said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse.
"What should I do." The young lady asked?
"Keep driving," her father replied..
On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead. It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over!"
Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"
Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again on dry land, and the sun came out.
Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."
She said "But why now?"
He said "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and are still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now over.
This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times".
Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't have to...if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun will shine upon your face again.
This story touched me! I hope it touched you! Enjoy & Learn
An interesting story I read in one of the blog which I can't resist to share here.
Dad you would have been 59 years old today. That fact alone just boggles my mind. What would you look like today? Would you have changed a lot over the course of the last 7 years? I know I have. It's been a pretty tough week leading up to today. Well, really, who am I kidding? It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for the past 7 years, but your birthday always hits my heart extra hard. I know I've beenangryandfrustratedwith you, but what I've never told anyone, maybe not even myself? Not a day goes by that I don't wonder what life would be like if you were still here. Sometimes I wonder if there is anotherme- another version of my life - living in some alternate universe somewhere, a universe where you never got cancer, a universe where you never committed suicide, a universe where I wouldn't know what it feels like to miss you so much that sometimes I don't know what to do. And of course a universe where I wouldn't have so much anger toward you. I hate that anger. I really do. I don't want to be angry with you. I want to miss you. I want to remember those good times we had without the volcano of anger always bubbling up just below the surface. read the rest of the story HERE
Funny just strolling at the mall, one can end up buying something. I did not intend to shop anything today. My visit to the mall was just to settle my utility bill at the post office which was inside the mall. As I made my way down the escalator I passed by some stall which was having some promotion and one of the stall was promoting vitamin c. The sales girl was offering sample drink of the vitamin and since I was offered it was not polite to turn down the offer. Soon she started talking the benefit of the products and before I knew it I was at the counter with a pack. Maybe I am just too soft and does not know how to say no. Anyway I would not say it was a waste of money as I had intended to buy this product after hearing it so often on air. It is call Ca-C 1000 sandoz. It is suppose to be a combination of vitamin c and calcium in a single effervescent tablet, which means we do not have to take two different kind of tablet. Accordingly to the flyer I received each tablet contains the equivalent of 17 oranges and one glass of milk. It is so easy to take just drop one tablet into a cup of water and drink it down. I hate taking tablet and pills so this suite me fine. Since I am at the gym most of the time and the classes I attended are in an enclosed area and without ventilation, one is bound to catch a flu easily in that kind of environment. It is better to play safe,so I am taking my vitamin c daily to built my resistant. It's no fun having a running nose.
What would you do ,if you really missed someone? The logical thing would be to tell them.There is nothing wrong to show you missed them, even the dog knows how to miss it's master as shown in this video below
Call them and tell them, have a meal , a movie or even to the mall together. Do it now
I Cannot remember when it was that I first hike at Tabur West,however I had revisited Tabur East just two weeks ago. My account can be found here. Today , I had another memorable and fun hike at Tabur West.
A friend whom I had met on an earlier hike at Tabur East was suppose to lead a team of keen hikers to the other side of Tabur, but at the last minute she could not make it and have given my telephone number to a friend who was to take over her role. I arrived early this morning, as I always do, at our prearranged meeting place, which was a mamak restaurant nearby. At the agreed time all the hikers turn up plus a few new faces. We quickly introduced ourselves and make our way to our destination. As most of them have never been to this side of the mountain, I volunteer to direct them and they followed from behind. Within a few minutes we arrived at a place which looks familiar. As soon as I saw the water pipe along the road, I knew we had arrived at the wrong destination. Apparently I must have input the wrong coordination on my gsp.Luckily another girl had also brought along her gsp with the correct coordination, we arrived at the entrance leading to Tabur West.
Somehow each time whenever we revisit a place it seems much earlier than the first time .Even the trails which was very challenging appear to be easy the second time round. Today's trip consist of 8 persons including me .I found this group of hikers had a very good attitude, they were willing to take up the challenge and do not give up easily.There was one girl who had difficulties going down the slope which was not easy. We try to persuade her to use the option which was another route which was much easier, but she was determind to go by the way everybody else was using. After a couple of attempt she finally succeeded in getting down the difficult slope.We started our climb at around 8.10 am and completed around 11.30am .I just cannot describe the feeling each time I am at the top of the mountain. I felt so at peace and relaxed. When it was time to go down, I had wanted to go back the same way we came up, but the others wanted to take the short cut through the plantation .The majority had spoken and so it was. This route was not as steep as the tabur east, so it did not hurt my toes this time. The route save us two hours or so.
Although all of us were tired after the trip, but we really enjoyed ourselves and each other's company. After a drink at a nearby stall, we bid each other farewell and hope to meet again in future hike.
I was suppose to join another hike at broga later in the evening, but had to called up my friend to pull out as I was really tired and my legs were aching.Reach home around 3.00pm had a quick shower and headed for the reflexlogy shop nearby and what a relief after the session.
old friends and new friends
at peace with nature
