Who Is Luckier?

'Some women choose to follow men. Some women choose to follow their dreams. If one day, you are wondering which way to go, remember this: Your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore'.

The above is a quote from Lady Gaga that urges a woman to work, be independent and free.

Life is like playing with a dice actually. You never know which number will turn up when the dice stops rolling. Who can say if being single and successful is good enough for you? Or is it more satisfying to have the love of a man even if you would have to share him with someone else?

You can wake up one day and find that the company doesn't need you anymore. You are being transferred to another job which you know that it's not your forte and being told that you could either take it or leave.

It is certainly the same as you are being told that he doesn't love you anymore and wants ton leave you. Same sickening feeling as if the air has been punched out from your body.

A woman can succeed in her career. Another may succeed as a mother. But can a woman really excel in doing both things at the same time? Juggling job and love? You may be able to do it with lots of patience. Maybe.

Luxury,nowadays, is no longer being seen as able to buy an expensive jewelery or a the latest pair of designer clothes. Some would say that luxury is spending the time at home, baking cookies, reading magazines and hanging out with the kids. Sundays have indeed become precious.

So, girl, you would better believe it that you are luckier than cat to have time to be back at home and able to cook dinner from scratch. You are one of the privileged.

Do not envy Cat who seems to be wearing chic clothes, staying late at the office and seems to be traveling here and there. You know, it could be lonely and tiring at times. No special someone waiting or coming to meet you at the end of the day.

When it comes to the subject of living a truly successful life, there are no clear answers. As good old teacher always say: The grass always look greener on the other side of the fence. Cat is grateful..even if life is not a bed of roses at the moment, it's still something to write about and something to be grateful of..

Still, wouldn't it be nice to take off the high heels and just spend an hour or two lazying around on the sofa, and then baking one of those tasty cakes from the various collection of recipe books on the shelves?

Baloons In Tube

When people say balloons, you would automatically think of those that were made of rubber type that you used for parties and games. However, there's also 1 more type f balloon : Balloons in a tube.

How does it works? The balloons have a solvent mixture in the tube. Each tube is sold with a plastic straw for blowing. To form a balloon, you just need to dip the short straw into the solvent and blow through the straw.



In the old days, it costs only RM0.20 per tube. We would buy it from the bread man who always came riding his motor cum stall every evening. Nowadays (2010), they do not sell it in individual unit. They sell them by packages: 1 big tube + 2 small tubes at the price of RM 1.00



I prefer the normal rubbery balloon. The tube ones just do not last long. It gets deflated easily as the material is thin transparent plastic. If you blow too hard, it get holes here and there. Me, as you know, is not a person who can sit still for a long time.



Still, kids seems to like the tube balloons. And anything that makes others happy, is fine with me. At least it builds up their imagination on what more they can do with the balloons: join a big balloon to 6 smaller ones to make a flower, the head of mickey mouse.



Memories and lots of memories from yesterday. A sign of getting much older, perhaps.

Someone Who Cares

Love the song lyrics :

Someone to care
someone to share all your troubles
like no other can do
He'll come down from the skies
and brush the tears from your eyes
You're his and he cares for you

When the world seems cold
and your friends seem few
There is someone who cares for you
When you've tears in your eyes
your heart bleeds inside
There is someone who cares for you
Someone to care...

When your disappointments come
and you feel so blue
There is someone who cares for you
When you need a friend
a friend till the end
There is someone who's a friend to you
Someone to care...

********
Wouldn't it just makes the heart glad when you know that someone is thinking of you.
All the woes and worries just seems not so important .. when at the end of the day there's someone who wishes you the sweetest goodnight,,
And again wishes you a very good morning before you go to work..
