The Wisdom of the Blue Potato

People are not to blamed if they are not born as intelligent as others. But it's the realisation of such inadequacy that can help you to be a better person in life. The hilarious part is when you're found to be a conniving person, instead of just losing trust, you will eventually become a joke.

I tend to be blinded with anger when some people try to get to me. The agenda is unknown or rather, it's not within a reasonable person's call to action for the most trivial of things. I ignore them till they blow it in my face. Leaving a conversation, looking like a beetroot and swallowing the flames wasn't the most easy of all decisions. But the Lord works in mysterious ways. He allowed me to see the bigger picture from a bigger person. He has blessed me with wisdom by giving me a hand to hold for life to guide me through the darkest of all roads.

Looking back, the people who calls themselves your friends, yet stabbing you beyond your sight, can enjoy each other's companionship as they grow old because with such narrow hearts, you will never be able to find space in the heart to accommodate someone else in order to love them beyond the way you love yourself.

Sitting here at Mcdonald's, looking at the Monopoly tab, it dawned on me that life is always about finding the Sentosa Cove tab because you're holding to the Marina Bay one. And so what if you had won the $80,000. It's being able to hold on to the wealth and let it blossom into something greater that really gives the prize winning some meaning. I may not have won the McDonald's prize but I found something even better.

Disconnect to Connect

When I found myself having issues with Blue Potato for using his phone over dinner, I forgot to check out the reflection on the mirror. During a recent conversation, we recalled on how I was t'apping' away on my iPhone and I felt really guilty for being a social failure. Soon after, I forgot how the phone disconnects us from life.

Just about a year ago, I was posting proudly on how much of a Crackberry I was. It is not that I was unaware that human relationships eventually relies on communication, the non-electronic sort. I was unknowingly sucked into the whole "the game is so interesting" or "I so need to twit about this" moment and I didn't care about the other diners on the table nor the rest of the people in the conversation. I was in my world.

Blue Potato showed me this video to prove a point and it was home run. Guilt has overwhelmed me but his patience was too warm to ignore. The understanding that I received was pure bliss.

Farewell Ascocendas

I won't pretend to say I know alot about the woman who has always been the one right behind the man who made a difference to my life and my habitat. But in my memories will be a woman who stood by her husband through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, with unprecedented poise and of Asian beauty. She will continue to live in my heart as a role model for the rest of my life. The basic lesson of simple contentment that will bring us round the ups and downs. Rest in eternal peace, Mdm Kwa Geok Choo.
