Blues & Butterflies

Everyone wants a happy song,
Nobody likes a sad tale.
Must i then lock my sorrows
and put my pen away?
Do i need to only talk of blue skies
and picture perfect tales?

Happiness & Sadness
Two sides of the same coin? or
as different and not related as chalk and cheese?
Sadness consumes me sometimes...for no reason.
Some say it is age related
When i am happy,
i just want to bottle it as future balm.

Things can and do go wrong,
Find a friend...you are not alone.
Happiness does 'bubble'...
enjoy the multi coloured bursts!.

Generosity And Goodness Exists...Anywhere,From Anyone.

In a world full of frivolity and falsity, generosity of spirit and graciousness prevailed in the most unlikely place.... i was invited by my Burmese friend who is a Buddhist to visit her Burmese Muslim friends. i was also told that lunch was prepared.

Both my friend and her friends are refugees from Myanmar. They have a hard life here, making ends meet the best they can, making do with what little they have and living with dignity. My friend and i had to take a train, a bus and walk a little before reaching our destination whereupon, she announced that i had arrived at a different country. i have never been to Myanmar but i was among the few Malaysians in that place at that time. i was looking at them and they were staring at me. i was curious and asked endless q...

Conveniences That Are Inconvenient

Sometimes we choose conveniences because it is easier, faster and available but when you really sit and think about it, the suppossed conveniences turn out completely inconvenient. Take for instance, a newly opened central bus station for outstation travel that is located far from the town bus station. Although a feeder bus service is available to travellers, they still need to travel quite a distance to catch another bus at the town bus station from or to their intended destinations unless they decide to take a cab which would cost dearly for some. Imagine; having to sit for 2-3 hours at a stretch only to alight and wait for another bus ride that might take between 20-30 minutes depending on traffic to reach the town bus station. Then, waiting for another 20-30 minutes for a particular bus to take you where you need to go. Altogether, a journey that only takes about 2-3 hours becomes a 4-5 hours exhausting, roundabout, inconvenience which many especially the elderly would rather avo...
