My All

March 7, 2011 by Enida

Kitreena: Mom, when we go to Atuk’s house this weekend I wanna give him money.

Mommy: Huh? Why do you wanna give him money?

Kitreena: So Atuk can get more food and stuff.

Mommy: Oh okay. But I think Atuk has enough food and stuff, Monch.

Kitreena: Yeah but there’s gonna be a lot of people at Atuk’s house this weekend. Maybe he won’t have enough money to buy food and stuff for everybody.

Mommy: Oookaaay. So… how much are you gonna give Atuk?

Kitreena: I found 50 cents by the pool the other day and I have one ringgit from the Tooth Fairy. One ringgit and fifty cents altogether.

Mommy: Oh… what a precious thought you have, sweetheart!

.

There are times when I have soooo much more than RM1.50 and feel like it is never enough, let alone feeling like giving. With this girl, though… I must have done something right somewhere. For, to her, it is better to have little and give all, than to have much and give none at all.
.

Thank you, Lord.

His Sis

Kitreena: Mom, yesterday Edrick said I was the worst sister in the whole world!

Mom: Oh yeah? Do you believe him?

Kitreena: Huh?

Mom: Do you think it’s true? Are you the worst sister in the whole world?

Kitreena: No! He just said that because he was angry at me.

Mom: Uhuh. Angry people say things they will regret.

Kitreena: Yeah! Like beep does!

Mom: Well! But you know, you become what you believe.

Kitreena: I know already. You told me.

Mom: *believes she is the best mom in her own world*

Practical Principle

March 1, 2011 by Enida

Everyone in my family wears their watch on the right wrist. But the only lefthanded one is Edrick. It was just a matter of preference, at first. And when we realized that many of us have been doing so, all of us somewhat decided to make it sort of a ‘family thing’ kind of thing. Like, yeah! Let’s all wear our watch on our right hand, Supian Clan!

.

It once became a discussion between myself and Brother Jay who looked at it from the practicality point of view. Well, I do understand why a watch has to be worn on the left wrist if one is righthanded, and vice versa. Nice and practical, yes. But all I go by is comfort. I like wearing my watch on the right wrist and I don’t know why. I don’t have to know why. And since my siblings, my dad and mom felt the same way, we just did it and now keep on doing it just because.  We don’t have to have a reason. Or do we?

.

I guess being a practical person like Brother Jay, everything has to adhere to a principle as well. As practical as not getting one’s watch shaken too much by the superior hand, one shall wear the watch on the subordinate hand. Fine and dandy. And that’s the way it should be, eh?

.

Hmmm… patutlah!

Jodoh Mampir

February 27, 2011 by Enida

Bibik and I talk about anything, everything. Yep, including what is ‘down there’. So I bet you can imagine how much we share about jodoh. There are times when I lose my faith not just in jodoh, but in cinta as well. And those are the times when Bibik convinces me that those tombol-tombol pintu in my life are nothing but my Jodoh Mampir.

Saya pun tersenyum kembali.

Love, Clarity and Conviction

February 23, 2011 by Enida

Speak your truth and speak it quick!
—Michael Cornelius

.

Saying what you really think, feel or believe is often difficult. Usually you don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings. Even when they infuriate you, you don’t want to make someone mad.

.

The real truth of the matter is, somewhere deep down inside, you don’t believe your feelings are “right” or that you have the “right” to feel the way you do.

.

When you hold on to the feelings you become angry, fearful and confused. When you don’t say what is on your mind you will be prone to gossip, rebel or commit acts of betrayal against yourself and others.

.

The only way to free yourself from the stress of not saying what you think is to speak the truth with love, clarity and conviction. And to speak it quickly with a conscious tongue.

.

I speak my truth from my heart.

Entirely You

February 22, 2011 by Enida

The entire 11.2 kilometers drive this morning, I was grappling for distraction. The entire 11.2 kilometers, yes. I didn’t want to tune in to Sinar FM or 89.9 BFM. They would just make me forget what I was trying hard not to remember. You.

.

And then the entire 11.2 kilometers driving home, you came to my undistracted mind. The entire 11.2 kilometers, yes. And I realized that all I needed wasn’t distraction. I needed some direction. And just as I was going to give the steering wheel to you, you held my hands instead.

.

.

Thank you for driving me home.
Hanya cintaMu yang terbaik untukku.
