Question : Is Life Really That Boring ?

I always remember this sentence which my OC told me when I was still an NSF serving the army, " Smith, you know everyone says that my life is boring. They are right, but I like it boring. " My OC enjoy his life of not doing too much and not making too many friends as he just like his life as simple as it is.

What kind of life do you want ? A life which puts you on the highway and glamor parties ? A simple life where you just spend with your love ones ? A life where you believe in freedom where you can do whatever you like ?

Life can easily be so much better especially if you appreciate every lil thing in life isn't it ? It just hit me one day that local youngsters and the not so old nowadays are leading a very shallow life. The reason why I said so is simply because they can have all the best gadget around, they can have a comfortable life where they do not need to be stress over if they have money for meals but they are still putting the "My Life Sucks" at the side of their mouth. People around the world are having problems with riots, death, natural disaster and disease but we are worrying about things like which company will be telecasting World Cup, which telco sells a cheaper iphone and when will iPad be available in stores.

No, I am not saying that we should all live in a life of regrets or moan for the other part of the world but what I am saying is that you can be the person or rather the only person who can make a difference in your life.

For those who follow me on my tumblr page should know that I recently started cooking meals for the folks at home due to my mother's recent ops. As much as I like to eat I enjoy cooking and now I also enjoy sharing with people online !

I am enjoying my life now where I cook for the family and look at the happy faces of my family members while eating the dishes I cook. Playing weekend basketball and pushing myself to better skill. Doing weekday jogging to lost some weight as well as to train up my stamina again and hopping to get my fitness back and maybe even to conquer another 21km someday. Meeting new people and making new friends thru events and twitter. And soon my new part time degree course and attempt to pickup my driving again.

What I am trying to say is that there are so many things we can do and enjoy other than just entertainment like KTV or things like Mahjong. Make a difference in your life, pick up a course, learn a new skill, pickup a new sports, do something for the environment or even something just to make you a better person !

Stop being negative and let the positive energy flow in the body and in the mind !
