had a lovely evening with mc..we walked from my place to the prata house for dinner. and altho im supposed to be on diet, i still gave in to the gloriously satisfying indian food. at least i tried to exercise as much as possible by running before meeting mc. and the long walk there and back also burnt some calories..so i shall not beat myself up over some pratas.
its so great eating sinful food after avoiding them for so long. like that time when we ate mac after so long..my cheeseburger tasted like the most exquisite thing on earth. before that, the last time i ate mac was japan lor, cant believe i actually stayed away from macs for one and a half months.
ok anw back to my great evening, i love walking! i think good outings shld involve long walks..so much time to enjoy the scenery (we had fun oogling at pretty private property along the way) and you can talk and laugh as loud as u want. i always feel so self-conscious talking on the bus or train. and of course, working up a sweat makes me feel much better abt eating later on. haha.
good times are made of these. i don’t want to totter arnd in heels or too-tight clothes or overly expensive places or stupid presents. just my pik piak slippers, cheap good food, and someone who makes me feel so blissfully contented.
oh on a side note, i was watching te4 xie3 just now..it was abt this old lady who’s alr 76 but she still goes to sungei rd to sell used goods everyday in order to support herself. her daily income can range from zero to ten bucks. she has 6 children but NONE of them are able to support her. (what nonsense. can’t even squeeze 10 bucks out for ur mother to feed herself meh.) she even has to support one of her sons who cant find a job because of depression and a past criminal record. and despite her hard life, she still volunteers at a hospice to help other old ppl. so heartbreaking lor..why do good ppl still have to go thru bad things. the old lady is still so optimistic and kind..she even learnt to read and write on her own (she was too poor to get an education when she was young). sigh. be thankful that we are lucky enough to take education and shelter for granted..
i watched the show too. damn sad. but the thing is how she still persevere on and have such an optimistic outlook. if only ican be like her
i watched the show too! Te Xie has always been my fav news mag show.
anyway, i love how the old lady deals with her life. i think she has pretty much reached self actualisation. i can tell she is genuinely happy and satisfied with life from the glow of her face.
i am going to sungei road to give her my old stuff so that she can sell!
really ah jy? i want to go sungei road flea market too! haven gone before!
i think..maybe its not that good kindhearted ppl are dealt with bad things..but maybe only good kindhearted ppl can survive these bad things. perhaps volunteering to help others worse off than urself will keep u in perspective that ur own problems arent the end of the world.
