pencil & eraser

Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm so...rry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on).

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

"All my life, I've been the pencil.. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day.

For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have..."

This is to all the parents out there...

a quiet sunday morning

is what I need most currently

to sort out my life,

to calm my mind,

to accept all the 'shocks'

to get myself back

to finish my 'unfinished business'

God, please give me the strength to carry on..

signing off, preparing for a solitude walk around the neighbourhood to clear my mind, body & soul.

my sky is cloudy, I could not see clearly

It seems that I'm being given big cloud(s) everyday and I'm not sure how long can I hold in the rain before the downpour.

and because of these big cloud(s), I really cannot see clearly.

will I be able to survive through all these and see clearly again?

why are there so many many mountains for me to climb, so huge oceans for me to cross? ... I'm really very very tired.

my RM1 happiness

when I feel like I'm living 1 day at a time,

even a RM1 happiness is worth it...

(RM1 for 12 design pencils from tesco)

when nothing seem right, there must be something that's right..

Of late, nothing seem right ...

so many things happening that I no longer know what's right and what's wrong.

I feel my life at this juncture can qualify for a good drama script.

Every night when I sleep I hope things will go away

only to realise that it will come back the moment I wake up.

I want to cry but I didn't managed to cry.

I think I've slowly learnt to detach myself from myself.

Thank you to FL who brave the norm to get a copy of this complimentary book. I've finished reading the book. It is indeed an informative book complete with discount vouchers.

I'll pass this book around (and many other pregnancy & childcare books) for sharing =) do let me know if you need any ..hehe

ps. FL, thank you for the SMURF badge too. Got it!

they are ready but I'm not ...

The fabrics are waiting but I just realised that superstitiously I'm not suppose to sew.

So my project got to wait.

maybe this more time is meant to allow me to get more fabrics leftovers =)

Don' t go breaking my heart + Secret garden

Thanks to CY, I now have many nice movies / series / dramas to catch up =) really got back the joy of watching again.
