Adik...adik..
aku geleng2 sambil terus potong sayur.

~~syukur~~

salam.

dah berapa minggu tertangguh nk tulis entry ni sbb kekangan masa..
masa cuti term seminggu yg lepas,
riuh mulut aku bercerita pada mak tentang abg jual kerepek di station LRT masjid jamek..

sebenarnya aku tak boleh lupa..
teringat betapa gigihnya dia mencari sesuap nasi..
abg ni kurang bernasib baik..

tanpa kaki dan sebelah tangan dia meniaga kerepek yg di bungkus dlm pek pek kecil..
dari jauh terdengar laungan bersemangatnya "kepek! kepek!"
betapa kuat iltizam dalam diri dia nk mencari rezeki yg HALAL.
menyedarkan aku yg hidupku sebenarnya penuh dengan rahmat dan limpahan rezeki..
membuat aku bersyukur.

terima kasih abg kerepek.

Beautiful. Are you?

Fair, flawless complexion, slender and elegant proportions, thick curly eyelashes,

Pointy shoes with killing heels matched with tight, revealing and damn expensive dresses.

Why do many women succumb to the modern stereotype meaning of beauty when really it’s themselves that they are hurting?

Honestly, having a mud of cosmetics slapped on your face literally feels a Royal Doulton dinner plate is sticking on it. The time you spent on putting them on and removing them away… Not mentioning how much money you spent on them… It’s just ridiculously expensive. And what with shoes, handbags, dresses, the Apocalyptoic accessories, the sunscreen lotions, night lotions, daily lotions, moisturizers, toners, hydrating cream, various types of essences…

Aren’t they all invented to make us spend more time in front of the mirror than reading a good book, improving ourselves, or making more money?

Don' get me wrong, I'm not against taking care of appearance, being smart and looking nice...

But hey... to what extent are we willing to go?

What is the yardstick to measure the beauty in a person?

Every year in any beauty pageant, one of the answers from the beauteous will state that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that beauty comes from within, and that internal beauty is eternal. Yet, they all come in fancy, stupid-looking dresses, hair and make up all done to the finest perfection.

Any idea why?

Because the internal beauty is less appreciated nowadays.

Because it’s invincible.

Because it’s left unnoticed.

Because it’s easier to be a plastic toy.
