Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

my first megasales

It's certainly not Malaysia's first megasales but it is my first... first time joining the crowd on the first weekend itself... and actually spend one and a half days just to shop in one shopping mall...

But even second day of megasales is not good enough. I went on Sat and presales started on Fri. Couldn't find my shoe size for that 50% discount items, had go choose 30% discount... and there were so many people queueing up to try on clothes... so I went early on Sunday, and managed to spend hours in the fitting room before the crowd starts to come in... hehe... but I'm broke now... :(

Maybe I should exercise more cause now my body is actually aching after walking and trying on clothes? Oh... this is also the second time I can ask for a "smaller size" than what I have in hand... finally Malaysia has a few of these shops catering for larger sized women like me...

Seems like I'm excited to shop... something which I never really liked last time... well, maybe it's now straight from my own account, and I haven't been spending too much in the past year, so it still feels ok to spend a bit...
