part of my world

When you wake up in the morning with a red, itchy, teary left eye and starts to shudder at a mere 25 degrees of air-condition, you know you are screwed.
Then later in the day, you discover that your nose is pouring and your throat is burning. It must be the dust. Afterall, I've not dusted the room for awhile since I am only home during the weekends and spring cleaning is usually not in the agenda. Hey, I am short of time to fulfill my KL food cravings over 2 days (collectively) to even bother to sleep let alone think about spring cleaning?!? I need to eat!
Did I digress?
Neway, yeah.. it's the dust. An allergic reaction. And noooo.. it didn't go away. It gets worst and you have a buffet (food food food!!) to attend later. So what you do?
Time for my prophylactic regimen~
You realised later that all your prophylactics are 126km away, it then dawned upon you that you are really screwed. No loratadine, no menthol crystals, no CMC ointment, no eye drops, no cetrizine, no chlorpeniramine, no papase, no vitamin C.... no getting well!
Of all places, I have to succumb to those pathogens HERE!
Now I know why I like it there so much. It means you are generally well all the time or be well in no time.
I think I've developed dependence.

How come it is short lived?
How come it wasn't as full as before?
How come I am beginning to wonder?
Is expectation the devil? Stealing away the golden nuggets of joy?
Is mundaness the thief? No excitement because you know what to expect?
Or is rivalry the culprit? Silent tug-of-wars to be called champions?
What do they see?
Why are they doing it?
What is wrong?
Expectations.
Oh, what a destroyer it is.
Happiness in its absence
Disappointment as it dawns
Often times, it is so difficult to find those that could understand what the heck you are talking about and let alone stumbled upon those who know how to react to it. Angels they are, sent only by the One above for you...
Many a times, you wonder if you are the only soul out there who speaks human-ish or is it the other way round, where the rest speaks human-ish and you don't. So am I the weird one or the world is weird?
I prefer to think that I am weird and the world is weirder. I am just trying to adapt.

How much things can change over time and how much more things can change when you are met with different circumstances.
Things changes when we are in a new environment. Wants, wishes, desires, needs and expectations will somehow over the course of time, through adaptation, will change pretty drastically. It's very much like Darwin's evolution theory. When placed in a new surrounding, one will learn to adapt and develop characteristics demanded from them for survival. The weak will learn to find the quiet strength in them and fight; the timid will learn to be bold and stand up; the quiet will find the voice to speak up; the arrogant will learn humbleness, realizing it's a symbiotic world we are living in, depending on one another to meet each other’s needs, that no man can be an island; and the naive will learn to ripen up and face the world.
Molded according to the die so that one could fit in and not be left out, one will develop or perhaps find in him qualities and manner that he never knew existed in him or could possibly possess. At times, it can be surprising and amusing, learning and rediscovering yourself again.
So Darwin is not entirely wrong... if the theory is applied to emotional characteristics instead of physical characteristics (proves again that man are shallow...sigh). A new environment DOES bring out a different person. A different environment can change a person. It can make you happy if you just shut up, stop complaining and look at the bright side. You will survive. If you choose to complain, feel depress and DECIDE to hate it, chances are that you will STILL survive (humans are actually made of pretty tough stuff) and STILL be happy... as happy as those flies dining on cow dung.
So lesson of the day, shut up and live with it! Others have it worst than you and yet they are not complaining simply because smart people knows that by babbling on and on about it will not change things. Learn how to accept changes because changes will not adapt to you. Changes can be your friend or your enemy depending on how you see it.
Oh how I wish i could stuff that apple in that big gab..
