life and life's minute musings...

It's really astounding to find out that someone as energetic and kind-hearted as her has left us... it's no wonder it took so long for them to contact me... though having someone new in the organisation shld be a good news, however, circumstances prevent it from being so, with them having to cope with the abrupt chaos and crisis...

Life's really a fragile matter... no matter how healthy one appears, as they say, looks can deceive... people can have heart failure and pass away just like that... even active sportsmen can die of cardiac arrest whilst jogging... a sudden illness can take away one's life silently and rapidly, deteriorating whatever health one had previously, slowly disintergrating the body and the soul...

Which makes me think how we shld really take good care of ourselves... what we eat, our activities... and really learn to enjoy life... doing things that one really enjoys and hanging out in good company... friends and all play an important part in one's life and colour can be brought in with the existence of others... like they say, what's the point of having all the money in the world and have no health? if you spend most of your life trying to make money, and make that as a priority, then what is the meaning of life? does your life revolve around material matters? we shld really spend life enjoying ourselves, doing what we want to do instead of working ourselves all the way till our last breath...

Which reminds me... i went shopping today with Aisyah in town... we saw these really nice shoes in Far East... and we were kinda pondering, thinking whether we shld get them and which ones to get... we ended up not buying anything after spending half an hour or so in the shop... but we met up with Fazli and had a snack... before going on to shop a little while more... and suddenly, i realised that i haven't bought anything that costs above $20 for myself ever since i've been back frm Bangkok... such things just seem so expensive... haha... but i did break the chain and bought myself a pair or really nice shoes for $30+... but i guess it's worth it cos the satisfaction of getting a pair of shoes that you really want... it's amazing... like i said before, there's no point spending all your life making all the money i the world and not knowing how to enjoy spending it, rite? if buying a pair of shoes can bring me such joy, then i guess i shldn't bother so much abt the cost and think of how it 'heals my soul' and makes me feel so ecstatic...

Thus, comes the theory of 'retail therapy'... only women tend to see the joy in purchasing clothes and accessories and shoes for themselves, making themselves feel better when times are down... bags and shoes... that's my method of retail therapy, thank you very much..
