Peaches

Bathing.

in the blossom

of our love,

I am suffocated by

its rotting

It happens

that it happens.

When a man and woman

first meet,

they're at their

kindest,

most polite,

most

considerate,

Never again,

from that moment on,

will they be as sweet,

or will their

smiles be

as genuine,

or will their eyes be

as playful,

or will their longing be

as pure

or as powerful,

as on their first

accidental meeting

It is though

a heart that falls 

in love

were

a peach

at the peak of

its ripeness;

plump

and velvet to their touch,

but destined

 and decay.

Would it that 

the heart could love

a lover

with as much

conviction.

and as few

conditions.

as when it loves 

a friend.

Parenting Rules

Assalamualaikum and Hello future mums and future dads :)

(let me pretend for a while that I have a huge crowd of audience)

Insomniac. That's not good at all. Torturing especially when I'm having 8 am class the next day. Well, that's not what imma talk about but yeah, whatever.

Basically, I went to Borders this evening to accompany Auntie Safiah spending her last pieces of 2 RM50 BB1M and I came across a book. Yup. The parenting Rules by Richard Templar :

Oh well, not that I'm sooooo excited to have my own kids but when I first saw this book, I was actually stunted and the first thing that came across my mind was, 'Come On! Parenting is not that hard until you need a book to guide you.' - fikiran seorang budak yang tak matang. Yes, I'm still a kid. hahaha

"YOU LOVED THIS PERSON ENOUGH TO HAVE BABIES WITH THEM. THAT'S SERIOUS STUFF"

this! This is one of the first few rules that the writer wants to emphasize. In a way, I am 200% agree with him. WHY oh WHY? Well of course, love sex and voila! there goes YOU :3 but to think of it back, IF a baby is born from a mother whom is not in a good relationship with the father or should I say rape cases or anything related. I believe, the children will never feel the love from the parents. Perhaps by looking at the kid's face reminds them of their partner or the father/mother which might only invite hatred. How are you going to raise a kid when all you can feel is just hatred towards him/her. So, yeap. True that you have to love the person that you want to have babies with. 

"THEY'VE GOT TO LEARN TO PLAN THEIR OWN LIVES.AND THAT MEANS LEARNING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING THE WRONG DECISIONS TOO"

Not to say that I'm an expert but this is somehow true. Let me tell you something, my parents are kinda open and we talk about stuffs openly even when it comes to 18sx stuffs. loll. No kidding. That's not the point. Well, the thing here is, my mum especially she never restrict me from doing things that I want and things that I like. Same thing goes to my dad. Everytime I'm in doubt and not knowing what should I do. As for example, during my first year, I was in MASUM team for Taekwondo and what happened was I just got back from a tournament and I had a minor injury and that was tear of tendon or ligament I can't recall. A week after, there was a Relay competition. USM OPEN. Soooo, a good friend of mine asked me to join his team for open category and knowing that I'm not fully recovered and still I wanted to run. (I used to run during my schooldays and because I miss those time as well I decided to team up with my other 3 friends to form a quartet) Called my dad to ask for his advice and as expected, 'Kalau rasa kaki dah okay larilah, kalau rasa tak okay lagi jangan. You should know better because we're talking bout your physical condition and if you are seriously into sports then you should train like any other athletes might as well take your own time to recover before kaki you lagi teruk'- something like that lah dia cakap. I decided to grab the spike and run. Well, you can guess what happened. My injury was  pretty bad right after the event and it took longer than it should take to recover. Basically I kena smack on my face based on my own decision. 

Yeap, have to admit that youngsters need to rasa kena kepala and muka sendiri then only they will know what they should and what they should not do. So yes, I learnt my lessons by making wrong decisions in life WITH my parents permission.

"IF YOUR CHILD NEEDS A GOOD SMACK NOW AND AGAIN, THEY'RE DEFINITELY THE KIND OF CHILDREN THAT SHOULD NEVER BE SMACKED"

Yup, kids like me love attention. How they gain your attention is by their own creative methods. Some of them want to be recognised by their great achievements in their studies, some might want to be recognised by their endless gold medals HOWEVER, bak kata orang melayu lah, Pisang setandan tak semuanya elok kan. So, kenalah ada black sheep. The bad guy, the bad boy, the whatever bad labels that stick on their forehead. I believe that one sweet day, the time will come. The time when you will have your own kids and their problems that you have to deal with. Never give a try on black and blue parenting skill with your not so bright children. They might be the ones that will be by your side when no one is there for you. 

One of the reason why I flip through this book is because I wanted to know how good I am to my parents.hehe. I actually didnt buy this book because I'm broke.tsktskk. It is a good book seriously. Soooowwww, I guess I can only write until here. ermm. well. just another random thought. It's not how good you were raised by your parents. It's how you try to give yourself the chance to be a part of them and see the logic behind every decisions. Youngsters. We are all blinded by our needs, passion, and we even crave for attention and such but there are ways to express it and sometimes what we say and done might not be a big deal to us but yes to our parents. I believe that what goes around will always come back around. Your parents was once children to their parents. AND SO DO YOU. 

PEOPLE

adios amigos :D
It has been a very loooooongggg time since the last time and yess, I miss you too :3 muahaha. skip that part. Well, been veryy awesomely shizzzlilingggzy busy with a lot of things, projects after another, events after another, assignment submissions, quizzes and test. At one point, I just wish that I could end things by getting married by hey, that will never solve any problems but in fact, menambah nambah headache and heartache lagi ada. loll. kidding.

Okay, what's with people?

First and foremost, I'm only 21 but the thing here is I've been dealing with many people from different social hierarchy, different background and even different way of viewing things. Be it students, lecturers, businessman, youngsters, makcik jual kerepek, pakcik berniaga jeruk and whatnot. They're all people. But how they resemble their community and  how they express their thoughts might differ from others. The higher you are in the social hierarchy, less manners you would apply when you interact with others. Not saying that they're all the same and my hypothesis applied to everyone in the community but I'm very sure that if it is not most then, probably half of the community would be. 

Some people learn life the hard way and that makes them what they  are. They tend to appreciate things and others the way they want to be appreciated. Afraid of hurting others' feelings as well as they never want others to hurt their feelings. My respect goes to these kind of people whom would put themselves in other's shoes before they start to point their fingers on others, discuss before raising up an issue that might cause riot and affects others as well. Sometimes, those who managed to apply manners and do such things are those who came from the lowest group of the social hierarchy. Believe it or not, they are indeed. Perhaps, hardships in life taught them to respect in order to gain respect from others compared to those who are comfortable with their own status and decided to gain respect without giving. Pathetic isn't it?

Another questions that keep on playing in my mind is that why is it important to please people by showing the other part of you that's not  you? why can't you just be yourself? I think it's in everyone that pleasing others is more important than pleasing our dear self. To fit into something that's not where you belong to. I've seen many of these people but it saddens me that I can do nothing because I'm in this category too. hahahaihh. At some point of your life, you might want to ditch everyone and live in your own world, ignore all the BS that others might throw to you for at least you're in your comfortable zone. Sometimes it's good to be in a condition where you can feel nothing because you never want to, being a free soul that no one ever dares to say a thing to you and comes hell or wtv forms of BS, you're there with you alone and not affected by the machines that is used by people which happens to be their tongue. 

Oh well, to tell stories about people behavior might cause me a thesis or a research. Might as well I stop here and pretend to become the silent observer. One more thing, it is fun to see people that we used to know becoming someone that they say they will never become. Thank you very much :) I did enjoy the show. lewlss
