Dear readers,
I am so sorry for not updating my blog. Sorry.
For the past few months, my life has been interesting at first and then it got pretty numb and static after. I have always wanted to write something but I could not. I had no idea what to write although I have few stuff to share with you guys. The fact that I don't really have many followers made me realized that it is OK not to update. Besides that, I have been thinking on having a new blog which is only about travelling. My mum and I will join forces in doing so. Since I just came back from India, I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to have my first article debut on an official page for travel stories. Unfortunately, nothing is seemed to be moving anywhere at this moment. I am NOT busy but I am just LAZY.
Since India I have been such a Lazy bum-bum. After I had finished working on my chores at home, I do nothing else. Thats how lazy I am at home. I was supposed to write for a national newspaper regarding my trip but that did not happen and again I was supposed to write for a magazine and even that did not happen. So, I am really looking forward for our 'Travel Blog'. Even that seems not moving anywhere. Well, that is what happen when you are too damn lazy.
Moving on, my India trip was AWESOME! It was all I ever wanted and the experience is PRICELESS! I learnt one important thing while I was in India that is to appreciate every single thing you have back home cause looking at the suffering of the people there made me realized that I have everything that a girl could ask for (except for boyfriend :(..I'm joking) Looking at how difficult life is there changed my perspective on our country although not much but at least a little bit. I see why there are restrictions against free political campaign. I see why education is given for free and I see why we should be grateful for whatever that we have now. You can say that India has changed my love towards my country. When I was there, I was so happy to be there because of the experience and the beautiful and mesmerizing scenery but for the love of my life I would not want to live there. I am so happy that I am a Malaysian, for what its worth.
I always believe that you will appreciate your country more when you travel to other countries, a-lot. By other countries I do mean not just a developed countries but also the developing countries or even the third-world countries. You might not like Malaysia for what it is if you compare her with a developed countries, of course. Know why? Because we are not there yet. We are still in the process of developing our country and our PEOPLE. However, even if you experience a different scenario out there in a developed countries, you will still feel like your heart is still in Malaysia, for me at least. I have been to the States and Australia which are among the developed and 'respected' countries in the world and I felt happy there. I felt secured/safe but I still wanted to come back. You see how people live then you will appreciate your life. I always believe so.
On the other hand, if you have the chance to go to any other developing countries which are still considered as 'below' Malaysia (I am sorry for the term I used but I don't know what else to use) you will see how difficult their life is. Education is NOT free and never will. Poor people are becoming poorer. Children are forced to labor or forced to become beggers. In India for example, small kids and I do mean small are running around begging for money from tourist or locals. Not just that, where ever you go you can see at every street there will be people living by the roadside under the trees without any roof to protect them from sun or rain. They only had blankets to cover themselves up and thick clothes to cover the sand but sometimes they have only blankets to cover both themselves and the sand. Its heart-breaking to see all this but that is how it is there.
I still do believe that the people who are not grateful for that they have are among those who have not seen sufferings of others.
"You will not appreciate what you have until you have seen how other people suffer to get at least one quarter of what you have" - Yours truly.
Love,
MARL!
