Me... My Family...

Dalam satu kisah percintaan yang menarik. Sepasang suami isteri berjalan  di tepi sebuah tasik yang indah. Kemudian mereka berhenti di sebuah bangku yang disediakan di tepi tasik. Kemudian si isteri bertanya kepada suami. Ini dialog mereka:

Isteri : Mengapa abang menyukai saya? Mengapa abang cintakan saya?

Suami  : Abang tidak boleh menerangkan sebabnya, namun begitu abang memang menyayangi dan mencintai yang!

Isteri : Abang tak boleh terangkan sebabnya? Bagaimana abang boleh katakan abang sayang dan cintakan saya sedangkan abang tidak boleh menerangkannya.


Suami  : Betul! Abang tak tahu sebabnya tetapi abang boleh buktikan bahawa abang memang cintakan Sayang!

Isteri : Tak boleh beri bukti! Tidak! Saya hendak abang terangkan kepada  saya sebabnya. Kawan-kawan saya yang lain yang mempunyai suami dan teman lelaki, semuanya tahu menerangkan mengapa mereka mencintai. Dalam bentuk puisi dan syair lagi. Namun begitu abang tidak boleh terangkan sebabnya.

Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan kasih sayang dan ingatan aku mencintai mu... sekarang bolehkah engkau menunjukkannya?

Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan senyuman aku mencintai mu... sekarang bolehkah engkau tersenyum?

Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika disebabkan setiap langkah aku mencintai mu.... sekarang bolehkah engkau melangkah?  

Tidak! Oleh itu aku tidak boleh mencintai mu.

Jika cinta memerlukan sebabnya, seperti sekarang. Aku tidak mempunyai sebab mencintaimu lagi.  Adakah cinta memerlukan sebab?

Tidak! Aku masih mencintaimu dulu, kini, selamanya dan cinta tidak perlu ada sebab.

Kadangkala perkara tercantik dan terbaik di dunia tidak boleh dilihat, dipegang. Namun begitu... ia boleh dirasai dalam hati."

Yes, I must really have…

I've just finished watching legally blonde 2 on star movies just now…for the second time hehe...I've forgotten what's the story all about since the first time i watched the movie a couple of years back. And now, I remember...Elle Wood, She's the happy go lucky blonde gal, seems rather silly at times…but good heart-hearted…and most importantly full of spirit and determination…something which I very much lack of…

To quote Elle Wood:

There's this salon in Penang. It's really fancy and beautiful. It's impossible to get an appointment…But one day they called me…I was so excited…Then the colorist gave me Brassy Brigitte instead of Harlow Honey…Suffice to say, it was just wrong. All wrong…First I was angry. Then I realized…my anger was completely misdirected. This wasn't the salon's fault. I had sat there and witnessed this injustice…and had let it happen. I didn't get involved in the process. I forgot to use my voice. I forgot to believe in myself. But now I know better. I know that one honest voice can be louder than a crowd. I know that if we lose our voice…or if we let those who speak on our behalf…compromise our voice, then this country is in for a really bad haircut.

How many of us use our voice to get what we really want and not just let life past us by and just let other people make decision for us…How many of us settle for what can easily be achieved rather than striving for the greatest achievement we could ever achieve?

I'm one of them. There are times when I fight for what I want. Yet there are many more times where things just get rough and I just lose hope and go with the flow…Well, I just hope that if I can't keep my hair as beautiful as Elle Wood's hair, then at least I can be as strong willing as she and fight for what I want and not give up easily in life. Amin.

Giving When it Counts...

This is a story told by a person who knew  a little girl named Liza. She was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance  of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

The little boy hesitate for only a moment  before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it, if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
 
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood  the doctor; he thought he was going to have 
to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
