Should She Stay Or Should She Go

I was driving to work this morning, and as usual I switched on the radio to listen to Mix FM. And they always have this program known as "Should I Stay Or Should I Go". Basically, if you have a dilemma about whether you should stay or move on in a situation, you can just call up and talk to JD and Dilly and they'll try to get you advices from the audiences.

So today, this lady called up and mentioned her situation, that she's been separated from her husband for a year. And within that year, she met this new guy. At first it was just a fling, and after that, it got serious. And when she thought it's time to move on, the husband came back and said he wants to work things out. So now she's kinda stuck in between, deciding whether to try to work things out with the husband or just move on with the new guy.

What surprises me was this, out of 10 audiences who called to give their point of view, 10 asked her to move on. I mean, logically, yes, you should move on if you're not happy in a relationship...but my question is this: 

Does anyone still respect and understand the meaning of marriage? What happened to marriage covenants? What happened to "Til death do us part"?

I guess many of us would try to tell ourselves that we all have the rights to be happy.. and I don't deny the truth about it. Who doesn't want to be happy right? But marriage is not a game. It's not something you give up easily just because you're unhappy about it.  

Ask any married couple, are their relationship always smooth sailing? Is it always easy? I'm sure each and every one of them would give you a 100% "No" for an answer.

To the lady who called in this morning, if you're reading this, my advice may be slightly different from the rest of the audience. To be honest, if you were not married, I would say, MOVE ON!! But in your case, try to work things out. You married him for a reason, find back that reason and give yourself another chance to fall in love again. Good things don't come easily, it may be hard, but it'll be worth it someday. I'm not saying that it'll work out for sure, but at least you try. And you'll never regret when you've tried your best.

All the best. :)

The Golden Girl

The first time I noticed her was when I saw her super huge poster on 1Borneo's Adidas outlet. And I was like, who's that hot chick?? Then not long after that, I saw her Adidas micoach ad on Youtube, and she was no stranger to me after that.

Jessica Ennis:

2012 Olympic Heptathlon Champion and also 2010 World Indoor Championship Gold Medalist in Pentathlon

Some people are crazily good at one thing. It's like they were born to do that one thing. Take Usain Bolt for instance, his name is bolt for a reason..HAVE YOU SEEN HIS 100 METER SPRINT?!?!?!

Then let's look at Serena Williams; that super muscular arms that gives super powerful serves...Poooooommmmm!!!

But to be good at 5 to 7 different events?? I call that AWESOMENESS. And a little bit insane. Hehe.

I think Jessica definitely deserves the golden medal in the 2012 London Olympics. Imagine the stress and pressure she had to bear on her shoulder with a whole stadium of crowd expecting her to win gold for the country. It takes alot of courage.

So there you go! Jessica Ennis, with that well toned, sexy body and a really, really adorable smile. :) Makes me want to smile too.

Ma new role model. :)

Broken Chain

I'll never be the same after this.
You can fix a broken chain, but you can never fix what happened when the chain broke.
That consequences of a broken chain......
A cyclist might trip and fall because his bicycle chain broke;
A crane might drop its heavy load because the chain broke;
A dog might get lost and run away because its chain broke off.

You can get a new chain for all the above, but you just can't undo what follows.

Busy Busy Busy = Sick

Suddenly feel like 24 hours is just not enough. But I'm very sure even if God gives me 36 hours a day I'd still be complaining that it ain't enough. HAHA. :) So I guess it still boils down to proper time management.

Haven't been feeling well for the past few days. Thanks to the horrible hazy weather, caused by the peat forest burning in Sumatra. Sigh. It hits Malaysia every year without failure. Why can't they think of a better way to clear their forest instead of burning it?!?! I know it's cheap and easy to burn, but they gotta think for those who suffer from asthma or those who have weak respiratory system maaaaaa...pffft. :(

But anyhow, I'm getting better dy. Can take on a tiger dy. :P Hehe.

I've officially signed up for Penang Bridge Internation Marathon. Half marathon. *Dreads*

I LOVEEEEEE running. But to be honest, when it comes to a distance of 21km...it just spells...

SH*T. 

Haha. Well, what's done is done. Hope my legs won't cramped half way like it did last year. And maybe, if my body allows it, I'll try 42km next year. ;)

As for now, I've gotta concentrate on my floorball. At least until after Merdeka cup. 

Then after that, I'm gonna save this beauty from the GIANT Bike store and hit the road with it and run away together to some paradise...

...and then ride home safely each time. I hope. :)
Gonna go for a run now. Adios peeps! 

为你好

有一天，当你长大后，你会懂的。

A Letter to Myself

Dear Eeleen,

I hope you're reminded that the fact that you've come this far could only mean one thing: 

That you're special and you're meant for something great. 

Remember how many times you've cried? Remember all the times you've felt like you can't go on anymore?

Remember how you've got your heart broken so many times and didn't understand how can life be so unfair?

And the bazillion times you've failed yourself and those who love you? Failures after failures, mistakes after mistakes. And do you remember how often you told yourself that this would be the last time you'd screw up and realize that it's just a lie you tell yourself?

But look at you today, Eeleen. You're still here. Still pushing on. Still fighting. Still believing. 

That's how it should be. 

Life ain't a bed of roses. It ain't all smooth like pure yoghurt.

Things happen. Sh*t happens. Circumstances change. We meet people who drive us up the wall. And some eventually break our hearts though we gave them everything we have.

But remember one thing, the harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Everything you go through is a story that could help someone someday. Every mistake and teardrop is a lesson learnt. Or like how some people like to put it, there is no mistake. Everything happens for a reason. 

I believe that one can only understand if he or she has gone through it and come out of it with victory. How can you understand someone who felt hopeless if you've not been at that state before? And how can you say you've loved someone, if you haven't been at the situation where his/her happiness is the most important thing, even if it means letting them go? 

Keep believing, Eeleen. Have a leap of faith. His mercy and grace is always sufficient. 

So don't give up. When things get tough, look up. Your strength comes from above.

Do what you love, Eeleen. Don't let the world define you. Don't let them kill your dreams and destroy your passion. I know you feel scared sometimes. It's normal to be afraid. It shows that you're human and it gives you a chance to have faith.

And you deserve to be happy. Don't settle for less, or good enough. Your heavenly Father wants you to have the best of everything in life. So why settle for anything less than that, silly?

Be patient and wait. Let it be His time, His will, His way. 

Til then, always believe.

"A quarter of a century year old now". HAHA. But to be honest, it's just a number. Yes, it comes with responsibilities. But it doesn't mean you have to be all serious and boring. Be young at heart. Be crazy if you have to. As long as you don't get anybody killed, or break any biblical laws. ;)

And ALWAYS..always remember to appreciate those who have been there through thick and thin. Life is short. Make sure you remember to tell them about how you feel before they're gone. You'll never know when. Regretting over something you didn't do or could have done, it the worst feeling one can feel. Don't ever let that happen. Once again, Happy Birthday. :) 

Love,

Eeleen

Feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders tonight.

Can't breathe.
