When Schnappi Smiles

When Schnappi smiles, my heart just melts, when Schnappi smiles all the worries in my heart just vanish, when Schnappi smiles, I know the sun is smiling back.

I can only continue to kneel down to Him, praying that He will make this world a better place for my smiling Schnappi. I am pining for you Schnappi, missing you each waking moment. You stay healthy and happy always for Tokma ok.

I love you.

Bad Stench Of A Human Body

The summer weather is not quite the same as the first time I was here, back then the heat was more tolerable, and there was no rain at all during the summer season. However, all this has changed, summer now is a mix of super high heat, and lots of rain. But there is something about summer and the people here, which got me thinking.

Admittedly we do not shower daily in the winter season, but my gut feelings told me that they also do not take regular showers in the summer. There are times when you walk into a shopping mall, you just feel so suffocated with the bad stench of a human body, so much so that you nearly puke, and would turn and just walk out of the store.

Can you imagine when you are seated in a closed up train or tram coaches that were more packed than a can of mackerel. The super bad BO so intolerable, yet you have no choice but to ride on. I really cannot explain how bad the smell is, I can only say that it simply kills you…………….. so so bad indeed.

During one of my doctor’s appointments where my little angle was accompanying me, after the registration we were to wait in the waiting area. As we approached the room, we could smell the dreaded smell of a human stench yet again and there was only one lady waiting there.

She was seated directly to an open window with one of her arms on the window seal; I bet this is where the smell must be coming from. I was swearing under my breath making sure that both my little angel and I keep looking at her. This was done intentionally so that she at least knows that we were referring to her as we gasped for air and closed our nose with tissues.

Go take a shower people…………….. will that cost you so much? Or would you rather deal with the embarrassment of being scorned by others?

Mess, Mess and More

Mess, mess and more of it………………….. we are hyperventilating every single day.

Waiting

There is something about waiting that changes a person from nice to nasty, from smiling to frowning, from alert to sleepy, from sitting to standing, from reaching out for the phone to totally ignoring it. So, what is it about waiting that can very quickly alter the mood swings?

I can only speak for myself, truth be told, I HATE WAITING, simply not cut for that, simply cannot tolerate that. I keep to timeliness, appointment is a must for me, and if in some situation first come first serve, you will see me waiting at the front line and not the back. My adrenalin sky rockets if I were made to wait more than ten minutes from the appointed time.

There were times that I just walked out of the place or ditched the people that I am supposed to meet. In fact couple of times I left an interview because I was made to wait, too bad to me if they cannot keep to this simple timeliness, therefore, they can never be a good employer. I realized that this is not a smart attitude on my side, but I just don’t wait on time.

Look at this picture; I took this when I was waiting to see my doctor. I don’t know what goes inside this poor lady's head, she must be so bored from waiting that she started to fall asleep, a deep one (I would have just left and come back again later). My little angel and I were afraid that she might fall off from the chair that she was sitting on. Waiting must be that miserable!!!!!!

Anyways, at this point of time, I am still waiting, waiting for something that could have been, yet still far fetched. Ahhhhhh………………………… well, it must be a message for me to learn patience in waiting.

Endurance

Anyone who has gone through this process will appreciate and understand the meaning of endurance.
