| Being YOU |

Hey.

Its been awhile since I last spoke because I've finally recovered!

Yeeeeaaaayyyy!

And today, I just thought of...

Hey look!

LIFE, I GOT YOU, YOU, YOU!

I've got so many lemonades that it seems like its my everyday drink and energy - no longer Redbull!

Boo YOU!

So...

I received DM's on Instagram from ladies who asked how I manage financially now with 4 boys.

You okay?

My baby already turning 2 this year!

Wuhooo!

We made it baby! We really do!

Just like the quote above,

"Things work out Best for those who make the Best of the way things work out"

Crap!

I don't get it but somehow I do, I think. Do you?

Hehhh.

I think it means, take those lemons and make lemonades like I do every single day!

And, how did I do it?

I set an excel template of how much I wanna pay my bills monthly from my BASIC SALARY only!

Do not add your extra incomes or side incomes into the template under earnings.

Crap!

I will blog another on this soon when I have them all ready okay?

It does help though because back in 2016, I did help a colleague clear his debts.

Wow!

Noraini, did you just become a Financial Advisor already?

Naaaha!

Nope. Just helping others out and hopefully it does work for them just like how it helps me out.

And then, there's others who ask why I seem happy and easy all the time.

You crazy? You think? After all the craps and lemons I have gone through, why shouldn't I be happy about it?

I got free lemonades daily you know.

But neeeh, some people are not happy seeing me happy though.

And if you're reading this,

Hey YOU! I know, I definitely do.

SMILE! You're on candid camera for my wall of blessings of Happiness.

So here's another one for you who's curious on how to achieve that happiness.

"ENJOY LIFE NOW. This is not a rehearsal."

I pray to Him that each one of you reading this will be blessed with all the strength I am given by Him to be happy always with your love ones and always take everything positive instead.

People, stop whining!

Narrow down your circle to those who are always there for you and those you wanna appreciate for everything they have done for you.

Stop making the circle bigger and invite more heartaches.

Stop inviting those who make excuses to make time for you - "Hey, I am working shift." or "Hey, I have another invitation before I receive yours."

Damn! You telling me you can't come before your shift or after your shift?

Everyone is tired though. Everyone is working to make a living too.

You telling me you're spending the WHOLE freaking day at the other event and can't spare at least 15 minutes or even 30 minutes for mine?

Strike these people out from your invitation list in future.

Be there for them virtually instead of physically.

What I mean by virtually is give them the positive words they need if they need it.

Don't have to be there for them physically or financially.

You're not their ATM machine!

That's how you narrow down your circle and you'll find happiness in that small tiny little circle!

I know I did, when I stop cracking my brain thinking about how to please all these people in that big circle when they don't give me even nuts!

So okay.

What's next?

Alright! So this is it!

This is what you all need!

Don't dwell on the hardships you are facing.

Don't ask why you are given such a hard life despite all the good deeds you have done or did.

Don't, just don't ask Him "Why ME?"

All He wants you to do is to always remember Him despite everything else you have done and did because He doesn't want you to be astray with your achievements and the easiness He provides you with.

He doesn't want you to forget him when you have achieved your goals and aims.

Because above all that, He Loves YOU!

He wants you to be strong each day.

No matter how hard life knocks you down or how much life have been easy for you, always be strong and think positive.

When you think positive, you're able to think right and straight.

Remember that "You don't have to be Perfect to be Amazing."

Stop trying to please everyone else by not being yourself.

Start being YOU and you'll see who's truly proud to have YOU.

They are the ones you need in your small little circle.

They are the ones you need in the long run.

They are the ones who will be there for you when you need them in every little way.

Trust me, they will.

You know, every single day, the #kbrothers will always remind me of the Rainbows and the Stars, the Sun and the Moon, the Warmth and the Rain.

They teach me more than what I am able to teach them about LIFE!

And all this time, I always say...

"Remember the RAINBOW (and now I shall add UNICORNS) after every rain fall."

For every hardship you face in life, there's always a bright side after its all over.

Its okay to restart.

Its okay to fall.

Its okay to feel low.

But its not okay to give up.

Because life is not a story book you can rewrite.

Life is how you pave your story into a better and fun journey till the end of time.

Reach and aim for the stars because they are not your limits but the universe shall now be your limit!

I've gotten my Rainbow.

I've reached the Stars and Moon.

Now I'm aiming for the Universe because I have hopes that all these shall be for my boys' Stars and Moon for them soon to reach.

Have you watched "The Sorceror's Apprentice"?

If not, here's what is Rule #1 ... CLEAR YOUR MIND.

Yup.

Clear your mind.

Living healthy is not about your diet or exercise daily. Frankly, I don't exercise because I cannot sweat else I'll faint.

Sad!

So I watch my diet - NOT!

Hehehe.

I eat what I want, but at the same time, I think positive.

Healthy Life, Healthy Body, Healthy Mind is all you need for a Happy Life.

You don't have to be slim to be Happy.

I cannot go down under 60kg because I will be sick, thus for the long hiatus.

Neeeeeh!

I tried to lose weight because I have a bulging tummy that the boys notice and asked "Mummy, why your tummy so big."

What is this!

How can they ask me such questions!

But then, I still love them!

For all the love, please have this always!

Wishing you all the best and I pray for you to get the same happiness like I do even if its just me and my boys, but I am contented.

I love you for reading and sharing, may my love for you spread to others who need it too.

Last but not least, start BEING YOU!

PS: I know some of what I speak of won't be accepted because to some, I have no rights or am in no position to speak of it because of the sins I have made, but I really do hope, for all the sins I have made, it makes you realize that I make mistakes which you shouldn't follow but for the mistakes I have made, I rise up above them all and that's the positivity you should pick up from me.

Lots of Love ALWAYS,
