Perlu Ke Ikut Cakap Orang?

The other day, me and my group of friends were whatsapping during work.

Shhhhhh...

But then who doesn't nowadays?

I'm sure you have at least one work-related Whatsapp group right? The rule of no phones during work does not apply in our current work situation.

Another cons of technology is that it causes work to permeates our personal life easily. But that topic is for another day.

What I would like to poret about today is how we kill ourselves with social expectations or how social expectations kill us.

Depends on how you look at it.

Naturally, we were talking about marriage and weddings. Among the four of us, only one was married. Another 3 are modern, career woman who don't give an Ffff about being married by certain age.

But then, we are living in a "caring" society.

People around us kept asking when are we going to settle down like the rest of our friends.

"Bila nak kahwin? Umur dah meningkat. Nanti tak laku. Susah nak dapat anak. Nanti dah tua tapi anak kecik lagi."

Kenapa orang sekeliling sangat risau dengan status weols sedangkan weols tuan badan tak kisah pun.

"Ala, kalau ada, adalah. Kalau takde pun takpe."

"I will get married when the time comes."

Okay ni kalau untuk kitorang yang hati kental lah. Kalau diorang yang hati tisu, kebanyakkannya give in to social expectation, got married to anyone just for the sake of getting married and in most cases, become unhappily ever after.

That's marriage.

And now weddings.

Kalau ikut kewangan dan prinsip mengukur baju di badan sendiri, cadang nak buat majlis yang sederhana.

Tetapi kalau mengikut ego, air muka dan social expectation, majlis kecik nanti buat malu mak bapak. Nak lagi grand dari majlis kawan. Tak buat besar-besaran nanti orang kampung, sedara mara bawak mulut.

Majlis sederhana orang mengata, majlis besar-besaran pun orang mengata.

Kesimpulannya, tidak kiralah apa kita buat sekalipun, ada sahaja yang tak betul dimata orang, ada sahaja orang mengata dan tak puas hati.

Okay sekarang pasal anak pulak.

CPPS kenal beberapa orang kawan yang sudah berkahwin tetapi belum dikurniakan anak.

These group of people have their own stress.

Stress daripada masyarakat, saudara mara, makcik-makcik bawang yang memberi tekanan secara tidak langsung untuk mereka mendapatkan anak.

Lebih tertekan kalau soalan bertubi-tubi itu datang dari dalam keluarga sendiri ( mak mentua from hell).

Baru setahun kahwin, dah diasak dengan soalan kenapa tak mengandung lagi. Disuruhnya berubat ke merata tempat. Macam-macam lagi lah kalau mulut-mulut orang tidak berlesen ni.

CPPS tak paham kenapa orang kena sibuk sangat pasal hidup orang lain. Itu hidup dia, biarlah dia nak tentukan macam mana. Selagi dia tak menyusahkan orang lain, dia bahagia dengan jalan yang dia dah pilih, lantak dia lah.

It's our life, our decision and it's us who have to live with the decisions. Not them. So make the best choice for yourself. After all, life is too short.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus. Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit. Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE . So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed. Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket. Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island. We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island. They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us, then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants. I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date. Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date. 1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression. You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine. No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour. Use cologn...
