.....Just Unclogging # 3.....

Yes, I have to admit that I'M TIRED.....I'm only HUMAN after all. Being a full time Maid cum Chauffeur cum Grandson-minder cum Untrained Tutor is slowly but surely beginning to affect my sanity and general well-being. All my life I've never tasted the luxury of having a maid to help lighten my 'burden'. So, I can only sum up my predicament with this one word.....SIGH!!!!!

.....JUST SHARING # 11.....

.....'LES MISERABLES' is my middle name.....

'Les Miserables' has been my middle name, of late. Well, actually it has been since the late '70s. I've been trying my utmost best, all these years, to quell the highly depressing thoughts and feelings, but time and time again, they keep on re-surfacing.....to haunt me, no end! Most times, I'll be questioning and questioning, "Why me?". Why must I be the unfortunate one to cross paths, and to contend with the highly s........ and b........... specimens? What do I gain by it all, at the end of the day? Yeah, what? It's no thanks to certain stupid and unfeeling beings, that I've landed myself in this mire. May these stupid nincompoops rot and get their just desserts in hell!

     Sigh! I jolly well know that it's utterly pointless for me to entertain these unhealthy feelings and thoughts, but then, I'm only HUMAN. I can't help but feel defeated, most times! Sob..sob..sob..!

.....Sharing Hamdan Ibrahim's Thoughts.....

 EVEN FAMILIES ARE DRIFTING APART

"True friends are like gems, they are hard to find. But fair-weather friends are aplenty who are with you when times are good but will desert you when you are down and out.

Times are changing, people are busy with their own lives and hardly have time to interact with their friends since schooldays.

I notice too that not only are true friends difficult to find but even you tend to lose touch with your own flesh and blood after your parents are gone.

Parents, especially mothers, are like glue who keeps the family together as more often than not all the children will visit their parents during weekends to foster good bonding among family members.

Once the glue is not there, everyone seems to be preoccupied with their own  families.

The only time you see them are during festive time, weddings or funerals and as you grow older, you tend to see them during funerals rather than weddings.

Gone are the days when you kept in touch with your siblings, cousins, uncles and aunts by visiting them from time to time.

For the younger generation, their close "friends" are the smartphones, Facebook and the Internet where cyberspace rules without physically meeting face-to-face.

HOW SAD, BUT TRUE."
