when i lost my Mp4, i realized...

My next trip was to Madiun...a city in indonesia...and guess wat.. i lost my Mp4 at indonesia... haiz..wat to do...
when my mother & I took a train from madiun to Surabaya, i was in a rush to alight from the train and hence, i am not aware that my Mp4 is still at my seat.

i was so upset when i realised that my Mp4 is lost. becoz tat Mp4 is a special gift by my brother when i get to passed all my 'O' level subjects. it contain sentimental value..

My mind was having so many bad thoughts about what had happen to my Mp4..but somehow, i felt that i should accept the fact that i lost it.

why...why is this happening to me? why must it be that Mp4 that I lost?...

then i started thinking and recalling back the past...

Life before i lost my Mp4, i always wanted so many things...such as latest hp, new earpiece..want this and that...things that i dun really need.

becoz my hp is still working even though it can sometimes have problems texting msg. and i still have a earpiece tat is still working. but it's juz tat it's a bit old.

but now, i realise i dun want any of those but just my Mp4 back.

this is wat happens when you are ungrateful to the things we have or to the situation we are in now.

ppl always complain about...life is hard...hard to get a job...no money...always family problems..

but it's just obstacles tat everyone in this world have to go through. everyone have problems but it's juz how they handle it.

when we are facing difficulties, actually there are ppl who are worse than us. maybe some are fighting for food, water...or maybe can't even go to sch..

whenever, we face a difficult situation, juz think of the good side and be grateful with wat u have now.

becoz if we always think our life is full of problems, we will never improve ourselves..and will nvr get to improve our endurance level when facing obstacles..
and just by thinking too much about the problem and not solving it can cause us to ignore many little things in life that we ihould be grateful of.

(And to 'batu chick' : pls dun tell ur mum tat i lost my Mp4..coz she might accidentally blurt it out to my mother on the phone...:) )

i did not tell my parents that i lost my Mp4 coz they will get worried and after tat pity me...
which end up buying a new mp4 for me. i dun want this to happen coz it will make me feel guilty. and i lost my Mp4 is all due to my own carelessness.

but
there must be a reason why things/events happen...
if i have not lost my Mp4, maybe until now, i wouldn't realise how grateful i am suppose to be to many things i life.

from now onwards, i have to live without an Mp4. i keep humming every where i go coz i am so use to listening to music most of the time. but i am grateful tat i can still listen to music from my laptop... :):)
