I may be smiling, but.....

It's EXTREMELY STRESSFUL and such a big hassle to drive my car (even in my own vicinity), these days.....what with the never-ending heavy traffic, the nerve-wrecking traffic congestions and the 'sickening' inconsiderate drivers! You wouldn't want to hear the expletives that are uttered by me (most times!), whenever I'm in the driver's seat. God forbid! AND the excruciatingly painful cramps that I sometimes feel, when I'm behind the wheels, almost always serve as the 'bitter pill which I have to swallow', so to speak. This is the main reason why I'm opting to be more house-bound, of late. Sigh! How I wish I could employ a chauffeur, to relieve me of my woes. Fat hopes, Hasnah! Fat hopes!

Yeah, they do come easy to me, of late. (^_^,)

.....Gone, But Never Forgotten.....

The month of April sees the anniversaries of the passing of two persons, who had made a great impact on my life. First, there's Mrs Dawn Parry, my beloved Headmistress in SIGS (both Primary and Secondary schools) from the year 1958 till 1967. Then, there's my BRF (Best Radio Friend), the late NND, who did bring joy to my life in the late '60s, the early '70s and also in the mid '80s. May both their souls rest in peace.....

 The late Mrs Dawn Parry (05.11.1932-19.04.2010)

Allahyarham NND (27.08.1945-25.04.2007)
-AL-FATIHAH-

     Hmmm.....Loneliness with a capital 'L' seems to be my middle name, of late. It always has been actually, but the intensity seems to have magnified itself manifold, as time passes by. Oh, I don't know! I seem to have lost all my friends and relatives since my retirement in 2001, and more so, since August 2002 and the 'blessing', which I received in June 2009 really put the icing on the cake, so to speak. I seem to have withdrawn more and more into my shell, no thanks to certain sickening beings! I'm a recluse of the first degree now! Sigh! I seem to be getting solace only from 'inanimate' things now, rather than from the 'live' ones. The wise often say that "Things Happen For A Reason", but to date, I've simply failed miserably to identify the so-called 'reason' for my being in this indescribably stinking mire. Double sigh! To me, the days just seem to be drifting by.....very slowly at times.....with no one to really talk to and no one to joyfully laugh with.....absolutely no one! It's sad, honestly! Yeah, it's honestly 'damned' hard to be, to stay and to remain positive. It really is 'damned' tiring to be bugged by this 'damned' predicament'!!!!!

" I fall, but I always rise.

I screw up, but I look for the lesson.

I've been hurt, but I'm still here.

I'm a person who is far from perfect,

But I'm always, always thankful.

Because I've learned to recognise the beauty

In the struggle...in the journey. "

( I can definitely relate to these powerful words, Jim. Thank you for the inspiration.)
