Good News ...

...

Nowadays good news are hard to come by.

Believe it or not why don't you just glance at the everyday newspaper from wherever you are and you will surely catch some news that will make you worry and sad.

I used to think that people will be more excited to know about good news than bad news but apparently it is always the bad press that catches the eye. And for the papers this makes money for them.

Come to think of it, it is so true that we all are intrigued and even fascinated with bad news. Our ears would open up if we hear some rumours or gossip that put people down.

I think the majority of us would be more interested to know what's wrong rather than what's right with someone. Especially if that someone has been in a limelight and a well known someone.

But I am not discussing about news, media or press here.

I want to talk about how hard it is nowadays to make oneself happy - unless that person already has everything that they need and want.

As for me, I need to think of something and at times even create something that would bring a vision to my mind and then a smile to my face, to make me happy. Yes, sometimes jokes and funny stories do just that but it rarely last.

So? Okay here's the deal - I am thinking out loud - what if from today onwards I will make myself happy by posting something good and cheerful for all to see - here in this bloG.

This would be a good start. Maybe a couple of pictures and light hearted stories. Perhaps this will do good not only for me but for all to see. Maybe it's a picture, a story or even a joke.

Now, just thinking about it makes me smile already while I write this posting and it makes my brain start working. Really!

So for a start, I think I want to share these photos below with all of you and see whether it makes you smile or not ...

Where Are You Now?

...

I am not looking for an answer for the above question. I am merely sharing with all of you a great website which I called a network tool for everyone who is internet savvy and for those who love to let their voice heard across the world.

Nothing serious but to me it is just a happy go lucky network tool for anyone and everyone without any agenda and it's simply called WAYN - a shortform for Where Are You Now?




I have subscribed as a member which is free and I would like to share this network with all of you.

So, hope to see some of your here.

Light at the End of the Tunnel.

...

I am still waiting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today as I was driving out to fetch the kids and as I was stuck between cars waiting for the traffic to move on, I looked up at the sky above which was getting dark and gloomy showing sign of rain to come.

It was just after 12 noon and as always it was supposed to be hot and humid. But not today it wasn't.

As I was looking at it I was telling myself that the formation of the dark clouds in the sky above resembled all my trials and tribulations that I have had to endure for the past months. I told myself that the worst has happened - or has it?

Just like the clouds above me, I really felt that I have not passed this dreadful stage yet. I was fully aware that I was not out of the woods yet, so to speak.

I told myself that if I were in a plane above those dark gloomy clouds at that time I was certain the plane would be shaking hard experiencing turbulence as the plane flew hitting those clouds. Yes, I knew how it would have felt and I could imagine me strapped in my seatbelt and praying hard for the worst to be over.

But then among those dark gloomy clouds I suddenly saw a small opening that looked like a hole in a doughnut. In that hole there was a vision of a clear blue sky. And suddenly it struck me. To me it was like a sign or a message to remind me that if we believe and we hold on to our faith in no matter how bad the circumstances be - I would surely see the light at the end of the tunnel. And this light will guide me to escape from the darkness of the tunnel.

Wow! I know the above may sound too dramatic but considering that today is Friday which is the end of the working days for the week I could be forgiven for doing so that is being alittle dramatic.

Yes. I do believe in the light at the end of the tunnel because I have seen it. Many times before when I was stuck in a predicament I kept telling myself to relax and wait for the light at the end of the tunnel.

And I always believe that the light at the end of the tunnel, when you see it and follow it, it will lead you out of the tunnel. In other words it could not be worse than where you are which is in a tunnel.

Come to think of it, I think our life is a journey through a tunnel and as a Muslim I do believe that at the end of the tunnel would be the entrance of the Hereafter where it will be an eternal place for me and not this world.

However until and unless I reach the end of the tunnel I must ensure that I am fit and able to progress further to reach my final destination that is the very end of the tunnel.

Come to think of it, we all come from a 'tunnel of love' and especially for men when we are big enough our desire would be to look for another 'tunnel of love' where through it our offspring shall be produced and they too will reproduce through another tunnel of love.

Wow! Life is great and if you don't get what I am saying above that's okay because I am doing this writing just to pour out what I have in my mind and heart.

Have a nice weekend!

Laugh Out Loud !

...

Time and time again when sorrow caught up with me I would always quashed it with Laughter. Not that I am crazy or anything like that. But I just believe that when we laugh it will generate positive vibes in our body. I always believe this.

We all laugh when we are happy. Occasionally we do laugh when we are sad. Yes it does happen, especially after you have been in tears and suddenly when you realised how silly it was to cry you would then laugh. To me this is good. It is an indication that we are humble and real person with real feelings.

Those who don't cry I do feel pity for them. If you haven't done so in a long time; try it once a while. Then after the tears subside try to laugh at yourself for crying. And try to laugh it out loud.

There are times when people told me that they miss my laugh (or laughter?!). I do get that sometimes. If you do know me I am a person who don't hide my laughter (or laugh?!) Hehehe...

I remember when I first came across this word LOL in the internet. I couldn't make out the meaning. I thought it was a shortform of a Malay word 'TOLOL' - LOL - which means Stupid Fool. Then when I realised what it really means - that is it an acronym for Laugh Out Loud - yeah I did just that! I really laughed out loud.

Imagine I was very angry when people chat with me and said LOL thinking that what they meant was You Stupid FooL. But in fact they were just laughing out loud!

And if you do know me, I am sure you will laugh when you hear me laugh out loud. Of course I don't do that on purpose and all the time. Once it happenned to me that I got a 'shoosh' from a client who thought it was rude for me to laugh out loud in front of food before eating! Yeah it hurts when people do that.

I laugh when I find something is so funny. Remarks or stories but most definitely at Jokes. I love Jokes - all kind of them and once in a blue moon I do get creative by making up a joke on my own. And I really love stand up comic. If ever I get to live this life again and I do have bigger 'balls' than what I have now (I mean it in a proverbial way!) I would want to become a standup comedian. Yeah really. But I suppose that won't happen.

Okay then, let us start exercising our right to laugh and let us Laugh Out Loud. To help you do that, just take a look at below which I got from a buddy of mine from an email (meaning, No. I didnt create this on my own. I wish I did though): -

Wife: You always carry my photo in your handbag to the office. Why?
Hubby: When there is a problem, no matter how impossible, I look at your picture and
the problem disappears.
Wife: You see, how miraculous and powerful I am for you?
Hubby: Yes, I see your picture and say to myself, "What other problem can there be
greater than this one?"

..

Girl: When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten
your burden.
Boy: It's very kind of you, darling, But I don't have any worries or troubles..
Girl: Well that's because we aren't married yet.

...

Wife to husband: "What's your excuse for coming home at this time of the night?"
Husband to wife: "Golfing with friends, my dear."
Wife to husband: "What? At 2 am ?!"
Husband to wife: "Yes, We used night clubs."

...

Father to son after exam: "let me see your report card."
Son: "My friend just borrowed it. He wants to scare his
parents."

...

A teacher asked her class for sentences using the word "beans".
"My father grows beans," said one student.
"My father cooks beans," said another.
Then little Johnny spoke up: "We are all human beans."

...

Interviewer to Millionaire: "To whom do you owe your success as a millionaire?"
Millionaire: "I owe everything to my wife."
Interviewer: "Wow, she must be some woman. What were you before you married her?"
Millionaire: "A Billionaire"

...

Girl to her boyfriend: One kiss and I'll be yours forever.
The guy replies: Thanks for the warning.

...

A husband was asked: Do you talk to your wife after sex?
He replied: Depends, if I can find a phone.

...

Man to wife on wedding night: Are you sure I'm the first man you are sleeping with?
Wife replied: Of course honey, I stayed awake with all the others as they never allow me to sleep.

...

A wife asked her husband: What do you like most in me - my pretty face or my sexy body?
He looked at her from head to toe and replied: I like your sense of humour.

...

Doctor to his lady patient: You look terribly weak and exhausted! Are you having your meals three times a day as I have advised?
Lady replied: Doctor, I thought you said three MALES a day.

...

So there you go. And if didn't laugh out loud after readng the above, I guess something must be wrong with you.

Say cheese!
