I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

 I Heard This Song Today And I Thought Of You

Have you ever experienced this?

A whiff of scent or a song that you have not heard for a long time, suddenly comes on and immediately transports you back to a place, a time, a person, or a memory that you have long forgotten?

Like stepping into a time machine.

A memory that was so fresh as if it just happened yesterday. 

Or an emotion so raw and powerful that makes you wonder does time really heal?

It's astounding how one song can trigger so much.

Why does music evoke those specific memories and takes us back to that time?

I was listening to these songs the other day and it reminds me of this young girl who I haven't thought about for a very long time.

She was naive and stupid but full of hope for life and the future, for what the world has to offer. Always being open to new experiences, new people.

Mengejar cinta, cita dan harapan. Chasing love, hopes, and dreams.

She has so many hopes and dreams for herself, of things she wants to achieve.

You know, like most girls that age, she dreams of a perfect husband, marriage, and kids by a certain age. She even picked out names for her future children.

At one point in time, she really did think she has it all figured out.

How naive.

I miss her zest for life, her enthusiasm, her naivety. But most of all, her romanticism and belief in love. 

That love conquers all. That in her search for this love, she often forgets how to love herself first and broke her heart over and over again.

Where is this girl now?

I miss that young girl. I truly do despite her naivety and stupidity. 

I'm so proud of her. That no matter what happens in her life, no matter how many times she fell, she gets up and tries again.

Always hopeful and making the most of what life throws at her, figuring life lessons along the way, understanding and loving herself better one day at a time. 

The hardest lesson for her probably is learning to let go. To let go of the what-ifs, the could-be, the should-be. To let go of who she thought she should be.  

Where is that girl now?

    Ah! That little girl is in all of us (girls)! For me it is the smell of the flowers of a tree called Flame of the Forest that transports me back to my primary school days. Very evocative!

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?

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...

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 ...
