The Maker knows Best

May 30th, 2006 by Violet

I have so much to update you, and I do not even know where to start. But for starters, let me share with you this quote that I heard from TV a couple of days ago. I personally find it very reassuring and inspiring.

For those of you who believe in God (no matter what your religion might be), I think you will find this quote uplifting too.

I can’t remember the exact words, or the TV serial that I got this from… I can’t even remember the storyline, or the person who said it… but when it was said, it was like ‘DING’ - an eureka moment for me! :)

“No one will be given more than he or she can handle.” 

It is such a beautiful perspective of looking at things.

When we start to complain and moan about life injustices, instead of blaming others, we can be proud and say, “Hey… the Maker believes that I am capable / brave / strong / courageous / insert your own adjective enough to overcome this challenge!”

Isn’t that so empowering?

It’s just like stories that I have read about parents to special children. Some of them are just so amazing! Instead of bemoaning their fate, they are grateful that they have been chosen to look after God’s special ones.

Some of you might be thinking… “Violet, you siao (means crazy in Hokkien) ah? After the operation got brain damage?” Haha! Oh, that was where I was over the weekend, undergoing a minor operation, which I will tell you more about soon. That was quite an experience!

But seriously, that quote to me was simply… wow!

It brings upon a new dawn, a brand-new realisation, a refreshed and rejuvenated me. :)

Getting from point A to B

May 20th, 2006 by Violet

I know, I know… I still owe you guys the 2nd installment of ‘My Best Match’. :)

* * * * *
Anyway, I think I need to go for anger management course after driving in KL for the past couple of months.

Some people just do not believe in the concept of queuing. It is like… hello… obviously all the cars are waiting in line for a reason? But no, they just decide to cut queue for their own convenience.

And don’t even get me started on people who just swerve in and out of the left and right lanes just to save that 1-2 seconds of time. It is so dangerous, not just for the driver, but for cars around it. Am not sure if they are just trying to show off their driving skills, or there is something SO important that they are rushing to that they are entitled to put people’s lives in jeopardy.

We live in such a fast paced world. A world where we believe in getting what we want immediately. Or getting to our destination as fast as possible. And most of the time, we do not stop to appreciate the things that are truly important. Or we do not stop to enjoy the process. It is about instant results… all the time. And I think sometimes, we even forget what is the reason we are even doing all these things. We become so mechanical in pursuing the same things everyday.

Finding love, is not purely about meeting that special someone. It is also about discovering yourself, and learning more about who we really are. It is about the process of falling, and picking yourself up again. About experiencing heartaches, and then joy, not necessarily in that order. It is not just about your expectations, your preferences. It is also about living in the present, and know what is realistic, and what is not.

What is the point of getting from point A to B, when you neither enjoy the process, nor know the real purpose of the journey.

Sometimes, isn’t it better to make a detour to C? Yes… it might take a longer time, and the route might be laced with hurdles and obstacles… but the most important thing is, we enjoy the process and learn the true purpose of the entire exercise.

Witnessing a Miracle

May 10th, 2006 by Violet

Hiya! :)

To those of you who are still faithfully checking back… thanks for your support!

I hope the following photo would explain for ‘absence’ and ‘inconsistency’.

baby_14w

Yes, I am PREGNANT! :) Hence, have been feeling tired, and not myself for the past 3 months. And hence, the infrequent updating(s)… yes, I know… excuses, excuses… :)

As this blog is mainly about love, dating, romance and relationship, I will not bog you down with too many details about my pregnancy…! Unless you do want to know more of course. :)

Now that the first trimester is coming to an end, I am back to my energetic self (I hope), you will be hearing from me a lot more. So keep the emails and questions coming…!

Am working on my next update on “My Best Match”, so stay posted! :)
