Looking forward.....

It's almost end of Friday. Definitely looking forward to the weekend. Needed the rest. It had been a tiring week, physically and mentally. Tapi every week pun rasa tiring, how? No excuse for this week lah. Anyway, still I would say, needed the rest, needed the sleep, sleep and sleep. Weekend plans? Nothing big, just the normal weekend chores. Marissa's dental appointment tomorrow morning and will have to be in Serdang to fetch Inessa in the afternoon (she balik every weekend!). Whenever she is around, it completes the 3d_tribe. And life will definitely be complete with these two bestest friends of mine! My plan with Inessa is to go for a nice lunch somewhere, but that would 'kill' Marissa because tomorrow she'll have two teeths extracted in preparation for her 'braces' procedures. She's got a total of four teeths to be extracted over two weeks. Ha, ha, I think we should go ahead with the lunch plan! Dah nak pakai braces sangat, let her suffer! A badddd mom... she would say. Will be meeting my sister, Seha on Sunday for lunch. She's back from Bangkok for two weeks, checking on her children, her cats, her plants, her house lah to be exact. Bet it would be a tiring checks! Whenever she's back, she is always packed with lunch invites, dinner invites, tea invites, macam-macam invites. So had to book her much earlier. Sunday afternoon will be a good time, other half will be off golfing. Therefore there's no need to crack my head on what to cook for lunch. Yahoo!!!

Had been talking on the phone couple of times this week with my sis, Sharos. We shared and talked about lots of things, from life to death, oppss... The normal ups and downs in life, I supposed. Sis, thanks for your time and sorry for disturbing you many, many times. Enjoyed our conversations. Dalam mengarut-mengarut pun, we did manage to have a meaningful conversations. Yes, we talked about sacrifices, about being here, being kind, being considerate...everything counts. This is interesting, about knowing what counts and what doesn't. Getting through each and every day in our life without seriously offending anyone or hurting anyone counts. Doing something useful with our life counts. Meaning focussing on what is important in life, making positive changes to ensure we are happy with what we are dedicating our life to. Also meaning knowing, roughly where we are going and what we are doing. Awake rather than asleep.

Some things in this life are important and also a whole lot that aren't. Yup, it doesn't take too much to work out which are which, we should know it. Having time for loved ones and friends is important, watching the latest soap isn't. Repaying a debt is important, what brand of washing powder we use isn't. Nurturing our children, teaching them real values is important, dressing them in designer fashion isn't. Got the idea? Think about what we do that's important, that counts - and do more of it.

Wish for a good weekend, and may Allah bless us always....
