To be the bigger person

-
I find it to be such a challenge.
That is, to be the bigger person.
When your heart aches and your world yanked out from beneath your feet, it is hard to be generous.

I miss the girl I was. I was always unbending and relentlessly righteous. No qualms about doing what's right, even at the cost of a great personal sacrifice on my part.

Years ago, I lost something. Afterwards, it came back. There's a saying about letting go of something and it coming back means it's destined for you.

How about when it's wrenched away again.

I want to be the bigger person. Someone who turns the other cheek. It's just that I haven't been tough on myself for a while. I need the practice for whatever it is that's to come.

If anyone is reading this, please pray for me. Pray that I have the wisdom to see things as it is and the strength to do the right things.

The Good Virtues Co skincare set

Review untuk skincare set ni sudah lama dalam perancangan saya cuma pada hari ini barulah saya berpeluang untuk tulis . Gambar yang aa ialah gambar set skincare The Good Virtues Co cuma yang tiub kecil tu ialah serum dan bukan pencuci muka yang saya gunakan. Saya membeli skincare set ni setahun yang lalu semasa berada dalam pantang. Mula-mula beli memang rasa bersemangat nak review tapi buat keputusan untuk tulis review ni setelah saya habis gunakan set ini. Saya sendiri tak pasti syarikat yang keluarkan prosuk ni dari mana tapi saya rasa ini produk Malaysia. Rasa sajalah..tiada alasan yang kukuh pun. Jika kita lihat laman web skincare ni pun, nampak imej antarabangsa. Mungkin ini salah satu cara untuk mereka meluaskan pasaran mereka ke peringkat global. Dalam skincare set yang saya beli ada pencuci muka, toner sembur, pelembab siang dan pelembab malam. Kulit saya jenis sensitif dan mudah kena eczema jadi saya memang tak berani pakai sebarangan produk TETAPI saya amatlah ter

Our Arau - KL Central ETS adventure

We decided to take the ETS just so that the kids could experience a train ride. I thought it would be nicer than a bus because the kids could move around. We took a train from Arau and stopped at KL Central. From there, we took the KTM commuter service to Seremban.  My kids couldn't sit still so I took them to explore the length of the train.  The cafe coach offers a number of microwaveable selections that my kids like.  I ordered chicken lasagna. After I was full of lasagna, almost midway through the trip the train staff distributed free meals, biscuits and soy drinks, that my kids like very much. We didn't get much photo opportunity, we had our hands full with the kids.

Gunung Jerai

I was supposed to write a post about our Gunung Jerai trip right after that, shouldn't I?? Well,this is just one photo that I have available right now. This place is unbelievably beautiful. As you see in the photos, Hydrangeas are blooming everywhere in the resort. The Hydrangeas are the main attraction and I was tempted to go here because of the flowers. My sister went to Jerai a few times for work and she sent me her photos. The first time I saw Jerai was on a TV program in 2012 if I'm not mistaken. The hydrangeas made me oohed and aahed and I was saying "lets' go, let's go" to my sisters. I have not had the opportunity nor the time to go there until last Dec. We spent two nights there, which is good because we really get to relax and enjoy all the facilities. They have a nice restaurant and a game room, sports complex of sorts and activities such as archery. If you're in the civil service, ask for discounts when booking. If you like natur
