2012

The starting of year 2012 was with lots of love and gratefulness, then was bestowed with some hardship and problems. Life is so, up and down. No one stays on top of the world all the time and no ones will be at the bottom, be looked down by those on top all the time.

With gratefulness, I always get to remember the love that I used to receive from someone i love. Some unconditional love that given by parents. They used to tell us how much they wanted us to be successful in life. To a time that, they actually tell us they just want us to be happy.

I recollected some memory. When i was thirteen in age. I has been having some degree of obsession towards sports car and luxury car. Although i was only into their eye-captivating appearance, but i can almost identified them when i saw them on magazine or on TV.

Then there was a day. I received a thick letter from Singapore. I opened it up and i found that inside was nicely cut newspaper cuttings of some nice cars. It was sent to be by my dad who was working in Singapore at that time. He collected those cuttings that he got from local newspaper, fold it nicely and put them into envelops and post it to me. I was trilled, and i still keep those newspaper cuttings.

It is a memory i have, very clearly, with my dad. He was working in Singapore since i was borne. We had long distance father-daughter relationship. Then he came back to Penang. We only had a few years of family time before he past away. 3 years before he past away was the challenging time. I always wonder, even till today, whether that period of time, was the time that made me stronger or the time that made me more of a not-to-care person.

Now, i get more grateful everyday and i can't wait for tomorrow.
