Aidiladha

       Sacrifice comes in many shapes.

Eidul Adha or the celebration of the day of sacrifice. What do you sacrifice yourself?

I believe there's something in us we should always sacrifice. As when I studied Economics at IIUM, to gain something, you have to forgo something. That's the rule. I believe that applies well in our lives too.

As SPM examination is coming in a couple of months, what a student should sacrifice? What about sacrificing 5 hours a day for your revision?

As a person, living our daily lives, what do we sacrifice to get something we badly want? For me, I'd rather put on hold buying that shiny Mac (sigh!😪) just because I long the warm feeling of the Maldives sand.😍. Well, I call that sacrifice.

These are just some instances. What about you? What are you willing to sacrifice to get something you really want? Or should the question be, are you willing to sacrifice, if at all, in the first place? Forgetting all the comfort for the sake of something you have been longing for?

The answer is yours! 

 Eid mubarak everyone!😍

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

At Pantai Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Merdeka! What about it? What about independence are you talking about?

For me, it's getting myself out of the old paradigm. I mean, I'm going for a paradigm shift. After all, people say life begins at 40. Well, I'm not yet at that age, though it's bot far away. 😉.

So, I guess I should prepare myself to begin an amazing, interesting and enjoyable life at the pinnacle, huh?

At least I thought so.

Whatever interpretation of independence or Merdeka to you, go for it, let go of those negativities surrounding you all these while.

Happy 60th Merdeka peeps!

Crazy

Life sometimes can drive you crazy. You can choose to go with the flow or to just go against it. Whatever your choice, do it to the best of your interest and your loved ones.

It's easy to say, hard to do it. Yet, never stop striving for the best.

Regrets

There are things in life, you regret doing them. Yet, at another time, you would do it, the same thing happens again.

When will you not regret of your doings, then? The answer remains yours.

Until then, live life to the fullest.

Do you find me

                       I am here.

Hey! Do you find me?

Here?

Do you see me?

As busy as a bee.

Do you find me yet you lose me?

Do you lose me, yet we are together?

Do you find me, in your heart?

Do you find me in your soul?

You have the answers.

I have them too.

Yet, choices are laid before our eyes to be chosen from.

You choose what you longed for,

I will do mine.

😍

A tough life ahead, indeed

Every day, life gets tougher.

Yep! True enough when they say,

'when the going gets tough,

the tough gets going'.

The question here,

how tough can we be?;

how tough can I be?

At times, I feel like 'enough is enough'; yet at another,

I feel like fighting it back,

with whatever it takes,

no matter what comes my way,

with all my might.

Well, no matter how;

no matter what;

THINK and ACT!

The decisions to life is in our hands!

Let's do it now!

Until then, I am Rozanne. Bye! 

I'm tired

           Time may heal, or so I hope.

I'm tired of living on people's expectation. 

Tired of being very cautious that this person will say this, the other one will say that about me.

Doesn't matter what I do, I never ask for their unwanted sarcastic opinions.

Live me alone!

You will regret if I have to resort to vengeance should I can't contain what's inside me anymore.
