Bliss or Shame?

Sometimes, when i am performing detail scan for patients, with the husband standing behind me observing and listening to my explanations, i can’t help but keep on thinking, her husband must be cheating her; they are so young, getting married at this age, will they survive?; will they be happily ever after? Etc, etc, etc.....my thoughts even become worse if the couples are so young and the pregnancy was a mistake. Why my thinking is so pessimistic? I should be more optimist.

Few days ago, i attended a friend’s daughter full moon dinner. Somehow, the scenario changed my perception. You see, the girl got pregnant before marry. She was wearing wedding gown with her 7 months belly. They are not ashamed of it. Instead it is bliss for them. Now, they are very happy. Sometimes, it is not what had happened; it is how u see the matters. Every time when something bad happened, i will convince myself that it is not bad luck, it is just another precious lesson to learn.

I must admit that, there were far too many bad things happened to me since i come to work in Ipoh alone. Mr Ang’s camera got stolen, my car tyre punctured, i locked myself outside with the car key inside the car, i left my car keys in KL, etc, etc.... but hey, i am still breathing smoothly, still going strong and healthy. I know things looked bad from the outside, but actually, they are not that bad. When something comes up, just find the solutions. Crying and anger won’t solve anything.

After all, what is the purpose living in this world? My answer would be simple and direct, to get “Happiness”.

Well, people from west and east Malaysia really have big difference. In Sarawak, during full moon, we have home-made red wine chicken soup with misua. But, in west Malaysia, they have black vinegar sour pork and yellow wine chicken. However, there is one similarity and that is red egg! hahah..

I had these during the full moon dinner.

Black vinegar sour pork, chicken curry, yellow wine chicken with ginger, beehun...

Here's the egg and ang ku kuih.

Well, according to them, round ang ku means boy, long ang ku means girl.

This was given by another friend during her own full moon. As u can see, it is luxury. Half chicken, bbq pork, and ku, egg and some ginger. Well, the ang ku is round, so u can guess she had boy or girl rite? The food last me for 5 days..ahaha...
