The girl i brought home

Found this in myspace which i wrote 2 years ago. Not in the mood to write PC acting funny again been that way for the past month plus but really gotta put this one up here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last saturday went for sahur in D'sara Jaya. After sahur about to go back home, i saw her sitting near the stairs. Knew she was of mixed blood so i cant help not to say hello to her, i mean with her beautiful hair and her cute face who could have resisted. When i 1st approached her she was a bit shy. Malu-malu kucing they say. Spent a few minutes chatting her up and getting friendly with her. When its time to say goodbye, she ran down the stairs and i thought to myself that'll be the last time i ever get to see her. I didnt even get a name out of her much less knows where she lived.

Walked towards my car, i noticed that she was following me from a safe distance. Unable to contain myself, i went up to her and took her back with me. Next destination, home!!! As i neared home i came to thinking, what will mom say if she knew i brought a girl home moreover let her spend the nite in my room. I'd be in hot water i tell ya! Well guess thats the bridge i hafta cross when the time comes. Just hope that it wont crumble under me. As for now while driving i just couldnt keep my hands off of her. Gerammm!!!!!!

Pulled up in front of the house, the lights were off. Good, just my luck everyone is still asleep. Not discounting the fact that its 5am in the morning, but still, mom could have been up having her sahur. We sneaked straight into my bedroom and i went to the kitchen to get her something to eat and drink. After eating she shied away from me. I tried to hold her she would back away towards my bed and have a worried look on her face. At last i gave up and just lie there on the floor whle looking at her.

She just laid there near the bed never taking her eyes off of me. If i tried making a move towards her she would back away as fast as possible. So trying to gain her trust i just didnt do nothing, until after about 10 minutes of having staring at each other she came up to me and nudged her nose against my cheek while i laid there.

It was already 9am and i havent even slept a wink, ever so slowly im begining to feel the effects of it. Decided to wake my sister up and i told my sis about our 'guest'. Ask if my sister cud keep our 'guest' in her room for awhile and figure out what to do with the guest later. My sister said mom would not allow our "guest" to stay because she doesnt like her kind. Told my sis i'll send our 'guest' back to the place i found her and we'll have to part ways then if so.

Woke up that afternoon found that mom had a fit about the 'guest'. But luckily somehow she didnt object about the 'guest' staying with us. She even gave an idea on what to call her. Im suprised because she is afraid of cats but i guess she cant say no to this one. Well my sister already spent alot on her cage, toys,foods and de-worming her and all, she wouldnt want to dissapoint them. So right now Maggie a.k.a Cek Mek is a proud member of the family.

Been 2 wonderful years she's been with us. The vet told us when we found her she is about 3 months plus so that wud make her 2 years and 3 months old now. She has her quirks perangai n sombong as ever but still cant keep my hands off. GERAMMMMMM!!!!

Yes Man

I had the pleasure recently of reading something that literally made me put the book down and just laugh out loud. A gem of a book entitled Yes Man by Danny Wallace. Its about the author who was so down and out, plus he just got out of a relationship. He's been staying home a lot saying no and making up excuses from hanging out with frens, watch a movie or whatever. One day coming back from work the tube wasnt working so everybody had to catch a bus. So our poor author struck a conversation with an old guy sitting next to him telling his tales of woe and the old guy just said 3 simple word :Say Yes More.

And that was it. He had an epiphany of sorts. Those 3 simple words struck a chord and he took the old man's advice a bit to the extreme. He started saying yes to EVERYTHING and i mean everything. He adopted 3 grannys, sign up for a few credit cards, bought a penis enlargement patch from his email, won 25,000 pound and lost it, adopted a kid in africa for his ex, join a peace rally, went to stone henge, being the 3rd wheel on his ex-gf 1st date (how awkward is that!), went to singapore from reading an advert.

Basically all the things that he or anybody for that matter wud normally say no to, he had to say YES. At the begining it was liberating for him letting go, losing control like that not able to say no. But as things went on he find it tiring and emotionally draining not having a choice. Also later he encountered his arch nemesis, if Superman had Lex Luthor then the Yes Man had the No Man. Trying everything to make him say No. No man posed all sorts of challenges to break the author's resolve.

One of the challenges for example was the Yes Man had to say No for a day which off course he had to say yes to that challenge. And during the course of the day when he had the power to say No, he felt like he was falling to dark side. And said it with much enthusiasm thruout the whole day. I laughed when he said no to the 1st person, not becos what he said but how he said it. Can imagine how he'd say it. But from all the yeses he went from being a part time radio producer to being involved in television with BBC and getting a 5 minute show on TV called "Danny's Path of Enlightenment". It brought him some interesting adventures.

The moral that i got from the book is that to approach life in a positive way. You dont have to go out there and say yes to every single thing, but to turn a negative into a postive. There's always another way to look at things. My fren told me this and i remembered it till this day.
When you feel so down and out that u think u cant go down anymore, SMILE cos there's no where else to go next but up.
P/S: someone dear to me said that there's another lesson to be learned as well, the freedom of choice. Some may take for granted the ability to choose, to have an option, saying yes or no. Some doesnt have that luxury to say yes or no to certain things. Others take it lightly saying yes/no to things without a second thought. Choose wisely and u dont know what the future may bring. If it turns out alright good on u, but if it took a turn for the worse, than one just have to roll with the punches and move on.
