The title of the post might sound a bit misleading but yea, my mum did think I was a robber, literally.
I stayed at home as I don’t have classes today. Woke up a bit late, close to 12 noon. So she and my brother thought I went to college already. Well, they were both in the master bedroom when I opened my room door(which is on the same floor). At that instant, I thought I heard them unlocking the door, but in fact, they were locking it! I couldn’t differentiate cause it sounds the same.
So I went down, sat at the dining table and started reading yesterday’s newspaper. After around 15 minutes or so, my mum’s hp which was in the living room rang. I didn’t pick it up cause it’s not my hp and I wouldn’t like other ppl to pick up when my hp rings too. When it stopped ringing, my mum opened her door and shouted, "ADRINA!!!!!" I was so shocked by her loud piercing voice and I screamed in fright(and in shock). Then I shouted back, "Why did you scare me for??!"

Mum: Dim gai lei gam sui ge? (Why are you so bad?)
Me: Mat yeh? Lei ge din wa lei zhi gei thang la. (It’s your foncall. Answer it urself.)
-Apparently, I thought she was talking about the phonecall.-
Mum: Mm hai a, dim gai lei mou hei college lei mm thong ngo gong ge? (No la, why didn’t you tell me you’re not going to college today?). Lei zhi mm zhi lei hak sei ngo dei liong go? Ngo dei lam zhu lei hai cak lei ga! ( Did you know you scared us both to death? We thought you were a robber!)
Me: Ceh, gam yong yi hak chan. Ngo mm hei college bat lao dou mou tong lei gong ge la. (Ceh, you guys get scared so easily. Usually I also never tell you wan la when I’m not going to college.)

And then my cowardly brother came down the stairs.. Well, that was it. I was mistaken for a robber early in the morning! Haha, quite funny la, since I’m not the one who was in fright XD

Something just occurred to me yesterday. Will human beings ever be truly happy and satisfied with what they’ve got? Think about this; Usually we crave for the things that we don’t have. And rarely give thought to the things we already have. Does this mean that what we have doesn’t matter as much as the ones we don’t? And the level of happiness we get when we acquire the things we don’t have easily surpasses the level of happiness when we get something we already have. Well, of course everyone want things that they do not have right? Who would be crazy enough to yearn for something that is already in their possession? That’s the point exactly; If everyone only want stuff that they don’t have, is there anyone out there who would be truly satisfied..?
A beggar might be happy when he gets RM20(and the odd cents) a day. But that will only make him yearn for more the next day. He is still not satisfied. And all he would want is more the next day; and more more more the day after the next.
That’s bout a beggar; and basically it’s easier to understand why he wants more. But what about the rich folks? Think they’re satisfied and happy with everything in their lives since they’re so filthy rich? Well, think again. I’m sure stories of people who own goldmines yet still searching for something that brings them happiness is no stranger to most of us. Indeed, there are many real-life stories out there about people like that. But what more could these people want? They already have all the money needed to buy any material stuff. So why are they still not satisfied? Yea, surely money can only buy stuff, but not love and friendship and bla bla bla abstract thingamajigs…
So yea we know that material stuff and money itself doesn’t bring happiness and satisfaction if love and friendship are missing from a person’s life. But still, most(and many) people are still not satisfied with the love and friendships they have. For instance, a girl who’s single(with loads of good friends and a loving family) might want a boyfriend very badly; And a lady who has a decent boyfriend wishes to have a husband instead; And a woman who has a husband wishes that she could have married a better guy who can make her happier! Why can’t they just be satisfied with whatever they have? Is it human nature to never ever be satisfied?
Ask anyone you know, "Is there anything you would want to have?" and surely the answer would be "Yea, if only I have……" Even I myself am not satisfied with what I have. Yea, I have great best friends, loads of good friends, a loving family, good grades(eventhough I didn’t actually studied hard for it) and a decent life. Yet, I still feel that something is missing. A boyfriend maybe? But that’s easy; Just say yes to the next fella who asks me. No, I wouldn’t want it that way. Even then, I wasn’t truly happy and satisfied when I was with my boyfriend then. No, there was still something that stopped me from being truly satisfied. More money maybe? Yea, that would make me happier for a short while. Once I get accustomed to the fact that I can buy anything I want, it would no longer be a thrill to me.
Sometimes, people who have everything in life would just give up everything they have(family, riches, fame) and devote their life to charity and helping people. Only by then I have heard them say that they are truly happy and satisfied. But that is just the minority, people who find a sense of happiness in giving others a helping hand. What about others? Surely the things that make everyone happy aren’t the same in every case..
Maybe we should all just give up all the things in our life and help the needies(crazy, you might think?). Who knows? By doing that, we might find the happiness that we have never had… (Yea, I heard some of you saying that I’m crazy again XD)
As for me, well, let’s say I’m still searching. I haven’t reached that point in life where I can give up everything and be happy. (I think I would be even unhappier to give up my stuff..lol)
O yea, if there’s anyone out there who’s truly satisfied and happy, please oh please stand up. Because, right now, no one knows of your existence.

My hp got stolen….again!! Second time in less than 6 months. At the KTM station again. But this time I knew when it was taken but not who took it. I accused the person right at the back of me but of course it wasn’t him. Who would be so stupid to steal and then stand there waiting to be caught? But I was so mad that time I didn’t have time to think rationally.. And the real thief got away!I went crazy because no one was there to help fast enough. Those KTM staff were as slow as turtles!! They saw one Malay guy running towards the tracks and gave chase.. but they gave up not soon after that. I mean that son of a bitch thief was just running away on foot.. those Ktm guys could catch him if they didn’t give up so fast. But of course it’s not so important to them because it’s not their hp after all. Damn it I’m so angry. I hope the thieves who stole both my hps will rot in hell.. Be damned!!
