Z: You're so old already. You should go out and see the world. What's the point of going KL only all the time? Aren't you bored??It's true that I'm not getting any younger and sadly, I don't travel, nor do anything particularly exciting with my life. Perhaps that is why I sometimes feel so frustrated by my own "under-the-tortoise-shell" (that's a literal translation from the malay proverb!! haha) lifestyle, which is partly due to certain limitations, that I feel compelled to do something really foolish and stupid to vent my pent-up emotions. Like if I was on the road driving, I would impulsively break the speed limit and crash into a tree or something of the sort... just so the impact would jolt me back to my senses.
Me: You've got a point...
But of course, the consequences of such foolish actions will not only "wake" you up to the sensible world and reality, it would also cause grievous harm to yourself and to those who love you and whom you love. I've realised that sometimes, to wish for more, to crave the greener grass on the other side, is never really in your best interests.
I feel blessed for whatever and whoever I have in my life right now, and it's about time I start showing my gratitude for all these things and people I'm most fortunate to have in my life. Moreover, despite my meager December bonus (which has already become public knowledge), I am thankful that I have a job to go back to at all. =D
