I have been meaning to write this blog for a long time but I was too caught up with my work and house to really get down to it... Perhaps the best thing that ever happen to me in my new workplace is this new bunch of girlfrens I made. Usually girls hang out in cliques and one gang will not get on well with the other, which is why I think guys are easier to hang out with cos' they are slightly simpler and more forgetful. Anyway, I am blessed with meeting this group of girls who are around my age and the good news is... we click after going through some moment of awkwardness when we try to size one another up.
Little Miss Organic is the girl who I want to talk about in this post. The girl with the cherubic red cheeks and sunny disposition. She takes everything within her stride and her simplicity totally entrances me... It's amazing that someone our age can see the world through such untainted glasses... She exclaims with pleasure when she saw a little red bird on a tree and kept exclaiming "So cute! So cute!" in halting English like a young child who appreciates the simpler things in life. And she sees in the good side in everybody... even those we think chuiz till cannot chuiz... she still manages to say something nice about them. Even when she meets with problems, like her husband being retrenched and all, she is still cheerful and happy. And when we realised that her husband has flown to Canada to further his studies, and her having to quit her job to follow him there soon with no job and all, she took everything in her little stride, as if all the problems are nothing at all. Her famous quote (loosely translated from Chinese) " Job gone liao still can find. Husband gone liao much harder to find." Hiak hiak hiak... she cracks me up.
So I guess it might be easier to think and live simple, take the ups and downs in life with a big happy smile and be glad with the things you have in life.
Live Organically!
