Monotonous Days

Say Monotonous Days! Ouch, the title sounds like a torture, but, never a torture for these 4 young women from Asia.


KUALA LUMPUR

I'm Grace, working in a camera shop in one of the biggest malls in KL. The other day I met a girl name Cindy. She asked whether I study in college like her. I said I am working in this shop to earn money, so I can go to college. Cindy said she studies at night and works in the office in the daytime. I don't think I want to rush like her.


HONGKONG

I'm Lynn, a researcher. Today is just like the other day, cooking, working and waiting for my hubby. My hubby is a police officer, so I always prepare his meals daily, and I do enjoy cooking for my husband. Today I BBMing my Indonesian friend. I met this girl when I was on holiday with the other researchers in Bali. She was enjoying her lunch alone in our hotel beach club. I started a conversation with her, practicing my English. I remember that day she drove me around Seminyak and back to Kuta. She is in the real estate business but working in other field too, sounds too busy and complicated, but she seemed like she enjoyed it. Her name is Cindy.


BALI

I'm Ayu, working in a hotel restaurant. The other day, I got a shift in our outdoor café near the beach club. I met this young woman, Cindy from Jakarta. She said she was celebrating something and always comes to our outdoor café every time she wins something. Looks like she enjoys her work. She asked me if working in a five-star hotel in Jakarta ever came to my mind? I said never! I like hotels in Bali. I like the happy faces, the beach, sunrise and sunset. Big cities are not for me.


TANGERANG

My name is Cindy, a homemaker. I do enjoy writing a journal, and recently I have been blogging. However, my son is my priority. My hubby works overseas, so I just cherish my time with my son. I live a monotonous life and I keep telling myself how lucky I was and am still lucky. Once in a while, I call a taxi to Jakarta, the capital city. Sometimes the driver asks whether I am heading to work. I said no, I'm with my son. We're not going to work. I'm a homemaker and a good consumer, so we are heading to the mall in Jakarta. Maybe I just felt a little offended, but I love this quote,


"Even when your life seems most monotonous, what you do is always of real value and importance to your fellow men."


Queen Elizabeth II

'Oat' and 'Out'

By
"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

Born to Create

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer:Welcome to All ! ツ ) Yes, it is our nature to fight It is our nature to conquer It is our nature to love and hate  It is our desire to find the meaning of everything We build and destroy We burn things and we grow things We initiate war and declare peace We always compete in everything We were born to create  Create a tower that reach the heaven and look for its Creator Create monuments for ourselves Create the skycrapers to see from above We were born to create Create songs to lift up our praises  Make music to worship The Lord and move the heaven's army Build houses for The Lord and gather up to pray together.
