I went to Malaysia and

I think I’m moving =’[ .

I spent my weekend in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia where my Dad planned to meet his friend who’s helping him get a better job. According to Dad, he deserves more than what he’s currently getting so that’s why he quit his job. After writing the resignation letter and handing out his ‘Resume’, several companies have been calling to offer THREE TIMES as much as his current value. I WAS SURPRISED. Dad knew what he was worth and knew that he deserved more. ^_^

WORTH - The quality that renders something desirable, useful, or valuable.

Knowing what you deserve and what you’re worth are two different things that relate to each other.

Valentine’s Day is coming up! I don’t have a date. To be honest with everyone, I didn’t feel good at first when I realized I won’t be spending a day with someone special, I shouldn’t be expecting a love note or a card from anyone in particular and neither should I hope for a simple bar of chocolate from anyone.

I didn’t feel good until I realized my Birthday will be a few weeks after Valentine’s Day. A day especially for me and no one else. A day when I have the right to expect greetings, gifts and simple texts saying I lived another THREEHUNDREDSIXTYFIVE days! Even though I could expect gifts, I won’t be hoping for any.

After my trip to Cambodia, I learnt to appreciate the littlest things in life.

For instance, when I’m on the way to school,

I appreciate the fact that I have fully covered shoes,

I don’t have to walk for hours under the hot sun,

because I can take the air-conditioned MRT.

And as I walk to school, I carry a bag full of well printed books, several pens and pencils, a water bottle filled with drinkable water and the lists goes on..

Children are starving on the other side of the world.

Teenagers feel insecure.

Teenagers feel that they’re not good enough.

It’s scary to realize that there are millions of girls out there who think being skinny, having big boobs, large eyes, a pointy nose and a big bottom is the definition of pretty.

It’s scary to know that people on one side of the world afford to leave some food on their plate when the other side of the world has children DYING of hunger.

It’s scary to see children RUNNING to school without shoes to make sure they sit closest to the teacher because they want to learn,

while we see teenagers DRAGGING their feet to school and HATING homework.

It’s EVEN SCARIER to know the number of people who think that they’re not good enough, who aren’t satisfied with what they have!!!

[It’s getting late; I’m running out of words! My train of thought’s going bad.]

BUT MY POINT IS..

EVERY HUMAN BEING

SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT HE OR SHE HAS..

AND NOT BITTER

FOR WHAT HE OR SHE DOESN’T HAVE.

LOVE LIVING LIFE

AND BE HAPPY!
