a story
12:05 AM After work today, met up with eileen to get my beloved birkens. So pretty. fit my feet totally. grins*  WE went for pasta mania. finally got the chance to eat it. my creamy chicken. hmm i still have the taste in me now. heheees... sat there right after dnr all the way till 9 before we left home. spent the night yakking away. Eileen updating me with what has been happening this week so far and the usuals catching up. And as i sat and listened to her irritating voice talking (=p), something crossed my mind suddenly. i began to wonder "why do human beings exist? who do we live for? for ourselves? for the people we love and love us? if so, why are there so much unhappiness every day? so much unhappy events?" guess i will never find the answer behind each indivdual existence. and somehow, after we left J8, i went home with a heavy heart. its odd for me to think that way i guessed coz after all, i have been living on this planet for 2 decades. 21 to be exact. yet i looked back at my life and wondered to myself what I have done these past 21 years. why do i even exist in the first place? will there be any differences if i be gone? weird hor? to end off, a short story to welcome the weekend. A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee....you wil never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her bout her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up., She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. soon, the pots came to boil. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and paced them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked "tell me what you see" "Carrots eggs and coffee" she replied. Her mother brought her close and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off from the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. THe daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked "what does it mean mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside become hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. "which are you?" she asked her daughter. "when adversity knocks on your door how do you respond?" Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?" Think of this: Which am i? Am i the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do i wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am i the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? did i have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup a financial setback or some other trials, have i become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same? but on the inside am i bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? or am i like the coffeebean? the bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragance and flavour. IF you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. WHen the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or coffee bean? May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people dont necessary have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along the their way. The brightest future will always based on a forgotten past; you cant go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and the people around you were smiling. Live your life so at the end, you will be the one smiling and everyone around you is crying. You might want to send this message to those people who man something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life. IF you dont sent it, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message! Its easier to build a child than to repair an adult. This is so true - may we all be COFFEE IF GOd brings you to it, He wil bring you through it....... signed off with love*
