Neither Here Nor There

I was just lamenting on how I think I would never get my Permanent Residence status here in Malaysia over at my other blog yesterday. Without that piece of paper, it means I am still a foreigner with no rights and that extends to medical care as well. So.. I’m seriously looking into health insurance quotes these days. You’ll never know when you’re gonna get sick right? Our friend just had kidney stones removed and the cost was a whopping RM12 thousand. Lucky for him, he had insurance. If that had been me? OMG!!

And you know what, even getting a quote posed another problem. I don’t know if I am supposed to get the policy here in Malaysia or do I get one in Singapore. Anyone knows?

Cheerio…

Opps..What Did I Just Say?

Have you ever spoken and immediately regretted it sometimes?. Have you ever wished you had thought about what you were going to say before the words just get uttered out? Have you sometimes wished you could just snapped your fingers and wished it was five seconds ago?

Sometimes we say things without ever thinking how the other party might feel. Sometimes we feel we have every right to say what’s on our mind. To heck with what other people feel. To heck with the repercussions. But what happens when the same happens to you? What if another person did the same to you? Would you bitch about being hurt or are you one of those people that don’t care? Are you one that just shrugged your shoulder and say “hey, it’s not personal”

Me? To be honest about it, I always tend to put a front that I don’t care when in fact I do. It’s never “not personal”. It’s always personal. I think you are just in denial if you think otherwise, as a self-defense mechanism. But what do I do when such things happens. I reflect upon the situation, try to analyze it and see if I could have done it differently and MOVE ON. Either take action or just accept that sometimes it’s just too late. The words are spoken and it’s out there. Lingering, wandering around, for someone to take it or ignore it.

Someone told me, if you want to be seen, stand up, if you want to be heard, speak up and if you want to be appreciated, SHUT UP! lolz

And that is one good advice!

Take Time to Pause

As we leave the first half of 2010, I’m taking time to pause and reflect the year thus far. ..

Can you believe I found these lovely words behind a tea box….

Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune. When somehow we’re able to strike the right chord – to balance the expectations of our families and our responsibilities in the world on the one hand with our inner needs for spiritual growth and personal expression on the other.

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to think, time to contemplate what’s working and what’s not, so that we can make changes for the better.

Cheerio…
