life's greatest lessons

like they all say, life's greatest lessons are not learnt from textbooks but rather from observing and experiencing. these past month, i learnt so many new lessons. and i dont intend to ever forget.

1. tell that someone you love them today because tomoro might be a day too late.
until now i regret not telling my late grandmother i love her when i came back from kl that day. she passed away that night. i intended to tell it to her the next morning over breakfast. but it was too late.

2. do not speak too soon, lest you want to eat your words with a fork and spoon.
this is a classic. dont you all know that whatever you said or do will come back to haunt you? last time you said this, and now you said this. singing a different tune altogether. oh the furore!! you may sing a different tune now but its still off-key. sumbang tetap sumbang, beb.

3. thou shalt not comment on other's size unless thou is a size zero. NOTWITHSTANDING!
yes, the REAL reason why i am going on a diet and doing hot room yoga thrice a week. of all the people in the world, i honestly dont think you are suitable to tell me that i am fat. hello, i just had a baby, but what do you care, right? and i dont appreciate you giving me relationship advices on 'How To Keep Your Man' when you yourself is not in a relationship and the last one you had, had ended on acrimoniously. the bitter irony.

4. whoever said 'nothing will change' to their kids after a divorce are just bad liars.
of course things changed! who are you all kidding?! and no matter how long you have been divorced, the bad taste will forever linger in your mouth, hence the term bad-mouthing your ex. and guilt-tripping your kids will never you anywhere, unless what you want is resentment from them.

5. skeletons in the closet will come back to bite you in the ass.
do not disguise your past by claiming they do not exist or better still, calling her a psycho. thats just plain cruel. like russell peters would say, "YOU! Be a man!" (in a chinese accent)
