Peaceful, unassuming village life you say?

Ahli Mesyuarat Tingkap

When someone mentioned about village life, we think of friendly, kind and helpful people or peaceful and stress-free life. When we mentioned city life, we thought people are rude, selfish and life is too fast-paced and stressful. It used to be like that but not anymore. I’m an observant person and people told me stories. Over the years, I have concluded that it is definitely bad for the mental to be living in the village.

You would think people are generally more materialistic in the city but those in the village are worse. The first thing they ask if someone wants to be their son in law is “What is his job? How much he earned? Does he have a house, a car and if he does what kind of car?” Somehow they don’t think kindness, responsible or being hard-working is important. Families quarrel over money. All they talked about is money.

Competition is also fiercer in the village. Usually about whose house or car is bigger. Those with small, unfurnished house with no latest plasma TV or fridge will be ridiculed and talked about. When a neighbour or a relative got new flashy furniture, they feel they need to compete and upstage their neighbour, even if they can barely afford it.

Speaking about competition, they also like to compete whose children got married first and it’s almost like an honour to be a grandparent at a younger age than other neighbour/relatives. It’s a shame to have unmarried children over the age of 20.

“How old are your children? Why are they not married yet? I’m only 45 and already a grandparent!”

What they didn't tell was their children can barely support themselves so these proud grandparents need to work their ass off to support both their children and their grandchildren. Their idea of nice retirement I guess.

Some of them have this sense of entitlement. They feel people owe them something. If people are more successful or richer, they'll say, "If it's not because of me/my parents who helped them when they are in need, they would not be where they are right now." or if someone did not invite them for a wedding, they'll say "lupa saudara".

Somehow those in the village also tend to be more nosy, judgemental and vicious-mouthed. They see a girl with different guys and concluded that she is a slut. Someone quiet and shy is a pretentious snob. Their life is probably too mundane and unstimulating that they feel the need to spread lies, gossip and talk bad about others.

I’m not saying all villages are the same nor all of them are like what I mentioned. These are just stories from my side. How about your villagers/village you came from?

Kelebihan Supplement Magnesium Untuk Kesihatan

Pada pendapat peribadi CPPS, magnesium ni adalah satu mineral/ supplement yang agak kurang diketahui kebaikkannya. Magnesium ni tak mahal. Dalam banyak-banyak supplement , magnesium ni kiranya dalam kategori murahan je. Tapi tersangatlah banyak kelebihannya. Selain vitamin C, magnesium adalah antara supplement yang CPPS nampak dan rasa perubahannya. 1.

Goodbye For Now Dear Friend, We Shall Meet Again.

I don't really share about my personal life but today, I lost a dear friend. You know that kind of person that never really leave your life? That friend that no matter what happens, will always gravitate back into your life especially when you are having a hard time? That kind of friend that says they miss you and then googled your name to see what picture of you that might come up? Yes, he is that kind of friend. And now he has left me for good. Our path first crossed many-many years ago, at a time when I was at my lowest. We were from a different world. Mine was rose-tinted, safe, and secure. While his world was shadier and truly complicated. Our personality was also of the polar opposite. I was the serious and disciplined type and he is free-spirited, just kinda breezing through life. Carefree, funny, and a soft-spoken guy. Sometimes things just clicked. 7 years ago, we dated briefly and in that short time, I learned so much about life outside of my bubble. Of all ...

Sikit Lagi Mau Jadi Hulk

I always consider myself to be a mild-mannered person. Sometimes people, especially those who doesn't really know me that well said they never saw me get angry. They described me as someone cool and calm. Most of the time, i don't get angry that easy but i'm human okay, i do get angry. When i'm annoyed, angry or plain moody, only those close to me knew, especially my dear friend, Anne I don't have to say a word, she only need to look at my face. I used to think that i have a high patience-threshold but lately, i think something shifted and lowers the threshold. Last week i find myself super irritable, angry and snapped at those who annoys me. I don't know why of all the days, those friends all choose the same day to test my patience. I'm sorry i raised my voice at you guys :p Maybe i should do yoga or something to calm myself down . Or attend anger management courses. Or something like that... Ya, i look like that when i'm angry. All o...
