How to face uncertainty...Part IV

How?

How to face uncertainty..............Part III

I am fully aware that the day will come

sooner

or

later


I am fully aware that it will take place

sooner

or

later

I am fully aware of the pain that it will bring

sooner


or

later


I am fully aware that it will leave a scar - for the rest of my life

sooner


or

later

I am fully aware of the tears that will move the mountain

sooner


or

later


I am fully aware that life will never be the same again once you are left in the ditch


sooner


or


later


I am fully aware that life is uncertain


why take the chances then?


because uncertainties never say hello


before it drops on your footstep.



I am fully aware that when the day finally arrives


I won't be there


I will be else where


Busy leading my life


As life is uncertain

How to face uncertainty...Part II

At times, we are lost for everything - words, faith, feel....
Many a times, we are uncertain of many things - life, work, friends, family...............
Time and again, we are uncertain about - the happenings, the past, the future, tomorrow....


Uncertainty is never a good feeling
It leaves bad taste in our mouth
Unsettled feeling in our heart
Unfinished business in our soul


We need reaffirmation
We need reconsolation
We need reassurance


And when I received this in my mail box today, I do understand that uncertainty at times can be the catalyst for better things in life....


"Dear Dr........., Greetings...I take this opportunity to let you know that I have a very clear understanding about effective communication and thank you very much. I have learnt a lot from yesterday's workshop. Now I have a vivid view........."


In the final analyses, it doesn't take much to touch a human soul but why is it so complicated?


Mayhaps, because life is never certain............

How to face uncertainty......Part 1

Life, to begin with is uncertain.
We may be laughing away today and drown in sorrow the next day
We may have our love ones today and not with us tomorrow
We may have our comfy job today and jobless the next day
We may have the health today and cripple tomorrow

We may be breathing happily today and down in grave tomorrow


Hence, how do we face uncertainty?
There is no hard and fast rules on how best to deal, cope and manage uncertainty.

So,
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile

You may not be on a candid camera
But you are always on a borrowed time
Until it is taken away from you
By the giver

Until then,
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smie
Smile


Life is uncertain, indeed .....................


But, there is definitely once certainty in life : death
We live until we die. We makeup the rest.

Karyna aka Nana already complained - lamanya tak update blog Happy Badak ni....dah tak happy ka....what to do ma...semua badak terlampau happy and sibuk ber-happening elsewhere......

  • Hence, I decided - after one day ber-potpet about Communication to a group of receptive and active Kanita's clan and rushed back to a meeting at the school which ended at half six, I just need to rejuvenate. Nak pi masat pun tak larat...nampak sofa cung ku sahaja di rumah.....However, in order to reach the sofa, I need to drive and so penat now.......so sehingga menantikan masuk waktu untuk berconversation with God, I shall update this blog first.......
Sempena besday ku yang ke 23 two weeks ago,- diulangi ke 23 - I received many "kelakar seram" cards yang memang menghiburkan and left me in stiches. Okay - those cards were created by some money making companies but what is more significant and touched my dear lame heart are the words written by the sender. It truly reflects how much the sender knows me...........
  • And to me, ini adalah yang paling I gelak golek2 sebab for a 12 years old girl (Iman anak Ms.Ponti), she is really, really sensitive to my needs and wants la.....
  • "Happy Birthday. Wishing you lots of happiness and FOOD"...ha ha ha...
  • Food, indeed...she could have had written health, wealth or other stuff however she is well aware of my priority in life........:)

  • Another card from someone close to my heart has a fire engine blinking with the siren blasting away and the msg written was :
  • "Jika berlaku kebakarang, tak kira lah DALAM HATI ka....betul-betul ka.....ingatlah pesanang ai....". That's because I selalu terbakaq hati dengan dia....:0

  • From another person close to my heart : Ada dilekatkan stamp 50sen by Lat gambar a student lukis wajah gurunya and kat bawah written "Guru Sekolah Yang Garang"......with a msg "Check out the stamp! Wa simpan punya lama...tak nampak, pakai spek...."..........chessssss.......

  • A card from my another anak sedara, Adam yang sangat adore I and pulun tunggu I pulang KL and tidor dengan dia sebab nak share "personal stories" yang "only Ngah can know"....
  • "When are you coming back?" - that was the msg, never mind the wish...ha ha ha..........

  • A card from a newly found good friend yang ada 8 ucapang spesifik but what I like best was : "Che Wang....Saya berharap you tidak akan berkahwin demi kebahagiaan dan kepentingan I"....can ????ha ha ha.......(and you said I am self-centered????????? :)

  • Of course I also received cards from my sober & primp & proper friends yang cute-muit and ucapang yang short but very meaningful and straight to the point like "Only ONE number matters. Number ONE!". Get ittttttttttt!!!!!


  • And today was a real pleasant surprise.......I received a cung vase (sebab I suka beli fresh flowers and letak kat rumah) "Also supaya ikang2 you boleh diletakkan dalam vase yang lebih besaq so dapat bernyawa and vase ini letak bunga" - begitulah pesanang penaja pemberi........

  • When I came back to the office , a bouquet of awesome orangy roses (yes-my favourite colour), purple carnation (yes...purple) daisies, baby showers with a card stated "We LAP U" was waiting for me...........so happy I am........

  • Ohhhh...I also received a PINK badak ok from my badak freng yang comel banget.....(badak yang comel...bukan kawang I tu....but if u insist....ha ha ha.......jangan mare my freng.....)

  • And another tersentuh jiwa quote (altho tak relevan dengan besday) was from my student. I was telling him how my friends are waiting for me to die so that they can ambik my handbags and shoes......and terus muka dia sedih and cakap "Dr jangan la mati dulu. Saya nak mati sebelum Dr. Saya tak nak Dr tak ada, baik saya yang mati dulu"..........can you beat that?????? tak....dia tak bodek sebab dia memang A student............ishk...ishk...ishk......

  • And the bestest besday gift would be the fact that I still have people around me who still lurvveeee me despite the fact that I am garang, cruel, cranky and self-centered........ha ha ha....

  • I lurrrrveeeeee you all........mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Thank you all for "staying" in my life...............
