Who, being loved, is poor?

~Oscar Wilde

Most of us are suckers for happy ending (for deserving people). That explains why cerita2 like Pretty Woman, remakes of Cinderella, & other cerita2 which features poor girls saved by dashing, rich men, are such hits.

We love it that handsome, filthy rich, Gere fell for Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, & saved her from the lowest part of her life (how lower could one stoops? She earned her living by selling her body - and I say this without trying to condemn anyone), and gave her everything a woman could ever possibly ask for: endless wealth, cute clothes, posh lifestyle & of course, trophy perfect boyfriend.

But could these two very different people ever be happy together? What about then, the after tale, where Julia later meets his circle of friends, his family, his everyday life - could she ever fit in?

Still, we love happy endings in cerita. Apa lagi could explain kemarahan anak2 nongkrong di India when of the Hindi movie ended in tragedy, & so anak2 nongkrong telah bakar cinema. Some people lack happiness in reality, & crave for such hopes in cerita2 wayang & celebrity romance etc etc.

Speaking of happiness, a friend of mine told me that I am 'diuji dgn kesenangan' & he on the other hand, 'diuji dgn kesusahan' kununnye. So I asked him to give 1 example of kesusahan die, to convince me. And he told me die pernah tak makan bebrp hari back in high school sebab takde duit. This surprised me sebab die budak boarding school ok. Boarding school makan 5 kali sehari ok. Cane itu berlaku ye? And so he said, die fly dari skolah ( a term for curi2 keluar). Heh, makanya itu tak boleh salahkan org lain ye, tak boleh juge kata ujian Tuhan bile sendiri look out for the trouble.

Contohnyelah ye, mereka yang amik dadah/ bergaduh dgn parents/ tak cukup makan/ dapat result terok gile mase exam/ jadi pencuri/ etc etc, jangan nak salahkan orang lain or justify diri sendiri dgn kata 'diuji dgn kesusahan'/ takdir Tuhan. Betul takdir di tgn Allah, tapi itulah sebabnye Allah kasi aqli, untuk guna dengan seelok2nya. If not, you only have yourself to blame. (Ini subject to manusie2 berpenyakit dan bermusibah ye)

And speaking of happiness lagi, exam result was out semalam, and alhamdulillah I did much better than I expected. And so did he (",) I hope my other partners did ok as well. No failure from our batch, but no Dekan either. Never mind, Hons 1 was very very hard & hope we will all do better next semester, which insyaAllah will be our last semester before kami terbang ke dunia luar.

And this is for my dear friends:
(1) King who is currently having a good time in Boston. Tamau gaduh2 dah ye, because I don't want you to be depressed (altho u like the roller-coaster emotional ride. I don't). I wish you & she-who-need-not-be-named happiness always. I do (",)

(2) Ba'dina a.k.a Tootsie. I had a lovely time talking to you yesterday, and Tootsie dear, I hope you are feeling better because you are one of many people who truly deserve love and happiness. & please put up your blog back. I miss my daily dose of good laugh.

Much love, peeps (",)
