I want it all!

I remember a rap song by Warren G i think, that said I want it all, big house, big cars, diamond rings? ( i don't really remember all the lyrics though hehe ) but something about wanting it all....And i thought who wouldn't want it all? I'd be lying if I ever said i didn't want a nice house, cool car and that nice Gucci bag i saw the other day :) Coming from a middle class family, I would say that i'm grateful that I had my fair share of luxury while growing up. I remember abah used to take us on holidays in nice hotels, the good food in fancy restaurants, the overseas trip, the nice clothes and etc etc...depends on how you define luxury lah...but at the time, i thought i was the happiest little girl alive! And now that i'm married to a humble hardworking loving man, my hubby, I still get my fair deal of luxury, trips to spa, holidays and all that. Well, my point here is in the end,what does really matter? Personally, I think everybody is searching for happiness, and it varies from one person to the other. To me, happiness is not just material needs. I think everybody knows that. But a lot of people today are superficial. They define themselves with having an expensive car or a pocket full of cash. Well, ofcourse expensive things are nice to have :) But it doesn't define you as a person. What defines me is my personality, my Iman and how I evolve and become a better person. Its a struggle nowadays I would say to stay put to your principals and stay true to yourself. We are only human after all. Well, u decide. Because in the end, its your opinion of yourself that matters most.

Silence is golden

I recently cracked open a fortune cookie and the saying on a piece of paper that came out from it was, "Speech is silver, silence is golden". Apparently, the saying happened to coincide with what is going on in my life right now. I am going through an ordeal that is testing me in so many ways. I've decided that silence IS golden. And the more silent I am, the more I get to find out the truth. Its funny how life goes around your back and surprise you. Only right now, the truth hurts. I wished I didn't really found out the truth. I wished I was safely tucked in my cave away from all the harshness of the world...but then again a wise man told me that whats the point in living if there is no life? Well, if only i knew that life would be so kind? What ever is going in my life right now, i know for a fact that God IS Great! And that we are all HIS humble servant. I pray to Allah that everything that is going on in my life right now would end in a good way...InsyaAllah.
