nein nein..Leben ist kein ein Bett von Rosen..

yesterday..while sending he/she back we met a lady in the train..from phillipines,she migrated here after marrying her husband, a German guy..the blissful(erm,i don’t know blissful or not,but can last 25 years should be good i guess)..me,sufen,PC were talking to each other and suddenly she asked us,are you all chinese?

then..she continued,’i just got divorced recently..married to a german guy for 25 years,next time you want to marry,marry a guy from your own country.*They*<–referring to her husband,won’t understand..different culture and all that..they are workaholic..’

and off she went,after bidding a brief farewell..that set me thinking..we don’t know her..but she was telling us how she felt..does she have anyone here to confide into?i feel..i can see the sadness in her eyes..her eyes are watery as she talked…

life..is not a bed or roses….

  1. “Life is not a bed of roses” says a famous saying..then is life a bed of thorns? No that is also not true. Well..Life according to me is a bed of roses and roses obviously come with thorns. That is a fact. Hence life comprises of happy as well as sad moments. If there were no sad moments..the importance of happy moments couldn’t be realized.

    ps: i have many theories about life anyway, and this is only one of them.. most of the time i’ll just tell ppl life sucks~

  2. hahaha..life can be so smooth-sailing for some people and not for another..why is that so?well..life sucks!but i think we should be happy to get to experience life!but somehow..life still does sucks!

  3. hey , the phrase “life sucks” not applicable to you okay!.. you can adopt something like “life as a princess”..

  4. life as a princess?so..you think my life is like a princess huh?haha..

  5. obviously u can’t be a prince right? ….. ermm, can you? lolz~

  6. haha..well..i can if i want..lolz..because of my height, i always had to act as a guy in my school if there was a COMPULSORY play..as Romeo from Romeo and Juliet before…horrible!

  7. haha, so did you end up kissing another gal? I won’t mind being Juliet if mr.Romeo was you.. lolz ! But too bad, won’t happen.. cuz i think i am taller than you! muahaha

  8. erm..nearly did,but i did not..laughing all the way..haha..that girl happens to have the same birthday as me..we had to die on the same day in the play!haha..ironic huh?

  9. hmm.. even though i dint see the lady, but i could sense her sadness.. im sure none of us will wish to face this kind of problem.. may she be well.. may she be happy after this..
    God bless.. Amitabha…

  10. haha, i had a friend, same birthday as me too.. he was my first friend in primary school.. grew up together as good buddies.. but he passed away when we were in form 2 (it was in form2 rite kev?) .. sad sad, every year during my bday will think of him.. and thats not very pleasant.

  11. owh..i am so sorry to hear that,death is always hard to be accepted,especially when it happens to one that is so close to you..accident?

  12. nah, some cancer on the leg i think. was to young to understand the details.. only knew that he was very sick back then.. skipped school for the whole year in form 1..

  13. wow..so sad..i also got a friend who passed away..a malay girl..she also had bone cancer..a strong girl..when the doctor said have to amputate her right hand,she did not shed a tear..just asked the nurse for a pen and writting pad,so she can practise using her left hand..strong huh..

  14. wow, thats some story.. conclusion, life sucks~ lolz.. well, not applicable to u

  15. hmm..ya..i think it is not applicable to you too!because…we are healthy,with legs and hands,eyes and nose and a mouth to eat and crap!lolz~

  16. news flash.. i dont have a nose.. scared? lol

  17. haha..u don’t have a nose?no worries..you can grow a nose on a mouse,then plant it on your face..yucks..

  18. Life is unpredictable. I have three friends passed away during my life. Two involved in accidents and one was the one that Angie mentioned. They might not be my closet friends but they were part of my life. May them rest in peace.

  19. mouse? why mouse? lol..

  20. sorry to hear that..yah, life has its ups, downs, curves and straight paths, and sometimes it goes sideways..its very unpredictable

  21. chill man! somehow..i read on today’s “DEAR THELMA” section..and there’s a story of a wife who chose a poor man to be her husband over other better candidates..she persisted and supported her husband when he was out of job..and now that he’s doing slightly better….he goes out and find a new gf! WTF! what’s happening to guys nowadays? like male prostitutes…DAMN!

  22. joshua–>hahaha..well..i read it somewhere before,or was it some show thta i watched,they grow nose on a mouse,after it fuly developed they plant it back on the human..gross right?

    OWEE–>yalo..sad story..may she rest in peace..and she will always be remembered..

    jackie–>lolz..male prostitute!jackie..you are a guy wor,condemning guys?

  23. lol thats really weird.. a human face with mouse nose? haha..

    well, guys like that don’t deserve to be call a ‘guy’..aside of having that extra ‘stick’ down there.. he is a disgrace to the male species.

  24. haha..gigolo!why can’t they just be loyal to one person?and poor woman,she doesn’t deserve that type of ‘species’..

  25. The same can be said to the female species~
    The art of seduction by a female is as evil as, if not more, than the flirtatious technique by the males.

  26. lolz…the art of seduction is not evil..it is one of the merits of the females..as the flirtatious skills by the males are the evil ones!

  27. how can the flirtatious technique be evil when the art of seduction is not? both prove to be an act of disloyalty. are you trying to say that its ok for females to seduce other guys, while its wrong for the males flirt with another gal? nonono~ ppl should stop this biasness against men, the world has changed and today whatever the men can do..women can do as well, the root of disloyalty need not always be by the males.. women are equally responsible for their acts as well. i’m sorry but the traditional qualities of femininity are rarely seen in our society today~

  28. hahaha..debating with me?yes..whatever that can be done by males can be done by a females as well..and it never occurs to me that whatever a male does,a female has to accept it with open heart,be it disloyalty or things like that..have it ever occurs to you or anyone that maybe one of the reason the art of seduction practiced more widely today by females is one of the consequences of males’ disloyalty?=p

  29. not exactly debating with you, just standing firm on my point. some guys can be the biggest scumbags ever, i’ll be the last person to deny that, trust me~
    disloyalty by the men are one of the reason the art of seduction is practiced more widely today? Well, that could be one of the factor, i’ll give you that.. but all in all, it still doesn’t water down the unhealthy nature of seducing~ nor does it make the act any better than flirting, right? “An evil caused by another evil, doesn’t make the latter any less evil..” get what i mean? Hence, it could be our(male) fault for resulting this wild feminine evolution, however our mistakes still will not justify the act of seduction~

    Females are no longer just supporters, hiding behind the back of their spouses. Cut it short, they are a lot more independent.. they have the resources, ability, right, power and knowledge to endure and survive by themselves. And as the famous saying in spiderman, “With great power comes great responsibility”.. women today must hold more responsibilities and obligations for their acts. and that includes disloyalty.

  30. yup. i agree. if guys can said that traditional qualities of femininity are rarely seen in our society today, same goes to the qualities of manhood. you have a point there, angie. =p i used to see the fact that guys always put the blame on women, but did they ever figured out maybe they themselves have a problem too? Cheating men always leave signs, which are quickly figured out by the rarely wrong woman’s instinct. but cheating men will be fast enough to lie so that they think they will not get caught and simply cover their tracks better. in the end, exactly, female has to accept the damn consequences and suffer in the end. and guys, they’re as carefree as ever and again back to square one, they will put the blame on women.
    i give u guys a scenario…if a young girl had an affair with a married man, who will the people blame? people will go like “oh, that girl is a slut!”…how often do people will go like “oh, that man is an asshole!” [pardon me :P]

  31. lolz..good one,whoppeesoul!if the art of seduction or the skills of flirtations causes any infidelity,maybe both the male and female species is at wrong..human should not only look at things and make any general conclusions for there may be more underlying reasons that none of us know..:)

    for d case of the young girl and the old man,obviously the man wants s*x,and the young lady over there wants money..lolz..

  32. i am getting ganged up here..where’s all the other guys? LOL..anyway i will be leaving to back to pahang now, will comment further when i get home k. ~ hehe

  33. lolz…leaving?bye bye..have a safe journey..and..hmm.’i will miss you..your presence i mean!’…haha..

  34. haha i am back..just reach.. miss me? :-p

  35. i am not trying to take any sides here..to me both the men and women have to be responsible for their actions, “it takes two hands to clap”, you can’t just put all the blame on the males..

    Like what angie said regarding to the scenario given by kareen.. The man should not be the only one at fault for having an affair with the younger gal, everyone are gifted with a brain..a tool to distinguish between the rights and the wrongs, simply saying that she fell for the sweet talks by the man is a lame excuse. females today are not dumb, thus they should bear the same responsibility as the men for their mistakes..

  36. haha..ya..very true!so next time joshua,or angie..or anyone..if ever we make any mistakes..we better not hide it!lolz..

  37. oops..forgot to greet u!halo joshua..ya..indeed..i missed u!hahaha..
