It's been two weeks since I've last updated.

In the office at the moment and as per usual, pretty slow here.

So how was your day?

Mine was a little tiring, i guess. Finally got to fix my K on my car license plate. Was long over due..

My mum and me went to the old SCR in Gadong and it turns out, that was our first visit in three months, which is kinda surprising considering that we used to visit the place a few times a month prior to the renovation (that's how we found out. we asked the lady how long the renovation took and she said "tiga bulan"). Can't say this enough: where did the time go?

I feel like life's a little too.. short. It's the whole "so much to do, so little time" kinda theology and it's kinda true, somewhat. I think it's because i spend most of my day bumming around and when I'm not bumming around I'm doing nothing in particular and it leaves me a little unfulfilled. Sad, no?

I got my nose pierced earlier in the week. And no, not really. Didn't hurt that bad. Sakit for a split second saja and then after you get over the initial shock that something pierced you, you become ok again. Then you spend the next three or so days being so very careful especially when blowing your nose.. Mine's almost healed so it's all good. Can go back to the nose digging soonish. It's getting so clogged up there who knows what's awaiting my finger. Bats kali.

Anyway. Yar...

Terah.

The most beautiful things are the ones that are simple.

I think that most of us today are a little blinded by the material things the world offers us and we become so consumed by the shiny things in the window that we fail to see the dandelion growing on the side walk.

I don't know many people who stop to stare at the flowers; to just engulf the naturalistic beauty that has been bequeathed to us by a Divine power.

It seems like we've almost forgotten the one true satisfaction life has to offer - simplicity

The greatest thing's in life are free.. and this is true..

Nothing else in the world can make you feel the way you do when that certain someone tells you how much they love you or to hear a baby giggle at the silly cat as it is chasing it's tail (i mean, the cat chasing it's own tail.. not the baby chasing the cats tail. Heh).

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and again, this is true..

What is beautiful to you is created by you. In another sense, your own opinion is unique to you and no one else can tell you otherwise, because, you know, the other person's opinion is a little absurd. (Kidding.) But you get my gist.

We all have the capability to "rattle stars" and move mountains and inevitably achieve the impossible. You may think what I'm saying now isn't true but think about it..

The impossible, like beauty, is unique with each and everyone. My mum used to say "If someone else can do it, why can't you?" and of course, she was referring to Math. I used to say that Math equations are impossible but in reality I was just too lazy to bother but now that I think about it, now that I have grown-up some what, it wasn't impossible.. I could've if I had taken the time to try .

There was once a time where the greatest minds could only hope to fly. But today, flight has escaped the imagination; and now it is real.

Machines designed to look like birds and hover like bees have become an intricate part of our lives and we can now travel to the stars; we now have the capability to visit other planets and witness other constellations as they evolve and give birth to new stars; we can now gaze at other galaxies and are given the opportunity to explore far beyond our reach and further expand our knowledge on the mysteries that have yet to be discovered and revealed.

To be honest, I just finished reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. Kinda explains my gibberish..

Good book. Very insightful.. Has the capability to open one's mind to the almost impossible..

As a Bruneian, I am truly grateful that we are geographically situated sheltered from the natural devastation's that have rendered our neighbours helpless, powerless and heartbroken.

We, as Bruneians, we need to start appreciating the gift's and the many blessing's that have been bestowed upon us by the Almighty; that we are still protected by his grace; that the worst we have ever received so far are just sightings of tornadoes not so long ago and strong winds that have torn off roofs, toppled trees and cut off electricity (which are subsequently fixed in just a couple of hours/days).

Just like remembering death after life, we need to remember the plight of others so as to remember how good we have it, how blessed we are, how pampered we are and how easy we have it. We need to stop and say, "thank you" and remember that we, no doubt, have it good here.

It is heartwarming to know that millions across the globe have contributed whatever they can to help the families that have suffered in countries like Indonesia that has been hit by earthquakes and in the Philippines that has been inundated by typhoons, flooding and landslides.

As you are sitting comfortably in your chair right now and reading this, please, if you can't spare change or blankets or clothes, please do spare a little prayer to the individuals out there who are sheltering in broken down buildings or in tents huddled with other individuals just like them for warmth.

Please do remember to ask the Almighty to help give them strength, to hold them in His heart, to love them the way He love's us, to protect them and keep them safe..

They are as human as you and I. They need the prayer's of others more than ever..

Please do..

A's are coming and it isn't so exciting and I'm sure loads out there are feeling the same way too..

So, the blackout is back. Wonder how everyone else is taking it. On a brighter note, we're cutting down on emission and we're saving the planet! Even if it is involuntarily. Good though, No? Don't complain =). Planet Earth has been so good to us we might as well return the favour. Maybe it's karma for those of us who didn't join in on Earth Hour? Possibility.. or maybe there's a conspiracy behind all this. We may never know *queue X-Files theme music.

Chatting with Amal Nabilah at the moment. I miss her bah =(. and she's so kambang i feel like sitting on her. Hahaha.

Anyway..

Take care lots.

A long over-due Hari Raya to all..

Nothing much to say, really..

Just the same old, "Sabar saja.." as wisely phrased by a very wise person.

Heh..

Much Love,

Siti.

At the end of the day, just before we all go to bed at night, we think of one person and from here, as we drift off and shut down.. we ask ourselves, "Is this one person worth it?"

The next morning the answer will either be, "Of course" or "No. Not today".

Sometimes it's a little bit of both and your at the edge of your bed, pulling on your hair and going, "WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!"

Heh.

The thing I'm trying to convey is a little hard to say because there are no words to express how I feel and that's hard because writing is the only medium I find helpful in releasing all this.. suppressed whatever, you know?

Gahh.. Sigh..

It's like, feeling your heartbreaking piece by piece and realising that you need to walk away but, you just don't have the strength to.. because you can't let your heart break any faster.. so, you wait for it to break slowly to the point you become engulfed in fatigue..

But then again, you need to ask yourself, "how long will it take to heal?".

Sigh.

Spent sungkai with my old friends back in PDS last night and it was great..

It's been awhile and am really grateful that we've managed to finally catch up.

Missed you.
