THIS BLOG IS WHERE i STARTED MY WRITING ...

Image
THIS blog is where i first started my writing journey at the encouragement of a former colleague and friend who has a background in journalism. We met and from colleagues became friends working in the same department of a local NGO. How it began? We were both asked by the department head to write a short article each for submission to satellite meetings at the Annual International AIDS conference in 2009. i was a nervous wreck and the fact that we had ONLY 2 days and limited stringent word count further escalated the tension and stress. My friend assured me that i'd do good as according to her i had a flair for writing. Imagine my utter suprise and elation when both our submissions were selected as approved entrants from Malaysia!. Submissions were from other NGOs in the country and the world over. i was overwhelmed by joy and a sense of achievement and accomplishment. It was a boost of confidence to continue writing and my friend suggested i start a blog. THIS blog ONLY came to be

Treasure Box of LIFE.

Image
 i am remembering ... A time of unbridled JOY playing with mud cakes for hours on end i recall being buoyed ... by endless wonders All around me i am reminiscing ... The countless hours of play filled with laughter Where did those care not about the hours GO?! Why am i counting minutes now?! i need to return to those moments of JOY To enjoy being in the present minutes ... THAT bring me pleasure and bliss THE carefree pockets of happiness Simple, serene escapades i do not want to know the time for it matters not It is the captured camaraderie The memories made Experiences encapsulated In the treasure box of LIFE ... ONE that i can open To let out, all over again Precious "gems" in my heart An elixir to fortify myself A nectar to blanket me My safe haven of warmth, LOVE and HOPE.

To take the plunge and do what i want to do .... It's easy to blame current conditions and circumstances in life but upon deeper reflection, i've realised that i've ONLY myself to blame for all those lost opportunities and missed chances. THIS reflection had occurred before whenever i let go of what could have been .... Accompanied by anger at being a coward and not taking risks. However, a niggling voice would temper down the feelings and thoughts with practical reasoning and justifications. We always find a reason to feel better after we have lost what could have been life changing in good ways .... S
