the irony of my cherished belongings
now and then, unexpected things happens, and when it happens i feel like crying all my heart out, shouting till it echos to the swiss alps or smashing everything that meets my eyes to the wall but unfortunately i'm not capable of doing so and even if i did, it wont help anyways. when things happen, i'v gotta learn to live with it, accept it.
so here i'm sharing with my fellow bloggers "the-kinda-stuff-that-i-loved-so-much-where-buying-them-for-the-second-time-won't-give-me-the-excitement-i-had-when-i-bought-them-for-the-first-time" being taken away from my life in split seconds.
i shall call them my very own series of unfortunate events.....
case #1
the nike shoes
i had this one cute blue-grey-white nike shoes not so long time ago, loved it so much, coz its my very own first sports shoes...( i used to only have schools shoes, those extremely bright white ones) and like every average normal adolescent, i took care of it like as if it was some kinda 24 carat engagement diamond ring. i wore it for my classes, wore it during my chillout sessions. everytime i wore it i felt happy, 1st coz its so comfortable, 2nd coz its NIKE. well i'm not that so branded freak, but at times i am. honestly. that particular shoe has gone places ( oh how can i forget, i was wearing it while climbing on rocks white shooting pics of waterfall motions, tripped, fell hard where my chest just crashed to the rocks bumpy suface, my goodness i can still feel the pain reminiscing about it. hmmmm come to think of it , this shoe never gave me protection after all). what really bothers me is that, i used my eid angpow money to buy it. all of it. just imagine now... on a dreadful night just a few minutes more before my wonderful microeconomics paper was about to begin, i left my shoes outside the corridor of my house in a hurry to grab something ( i swear it was not more than 20 minutes) i suddenly felt my subconscious mind trying to tell me that the shoe is not safe to be kept there. i felt the urge to rush outside my house and when i opened the door, looked down....there was nothing. the floor was empty. i looked around. still nothing. my instincts were absolutely right. my heart started to beat so fast, my bloods began boiling inside. i couldn't stop cursing the thief. and the rest was history... reported but never managed to find it back. so there goes my favourite nike shoes. till now i havent replaced it yet.
case #2
the calvin klein: contradiction
this was my very first branded perfume. all these while i wasn't a perfume freak till i got this one. i was so in love with this particular perfume, it's the kinda perfume which was so sensual, so rich, so exotic and i wore it for only special occasions. and i really mean special occasions. you don't wear this kinda perfumes for lectures. i don't want to be labelled being exxagerator in any ways when i'm in campus. i bought this with my personal cash too. i seldom use it, still got lots more left in the sophisticated looking bottle, say three quarter waiting to be sprayed on me. this perfume reminds me of my past memories, so how can i not cherish this perfume. so happens one day while i was cleaning up, well actually packing up my belongings to move in a different apartment, i reached for my perfume and lifted the box container up ( i've always kept the bottle with the box too, this really shows how much i appreciate what i own) and to one of my greatest astonishment.....the box was so light... i knew something was wrong. i didn't have to wait to open the box to discover it was gone. i felt so sad, my heart crushing to pieces. i looked around again, negative results. asked my friends, still no news of the whereabouts of my perfume. so what does a normal girl like me would think? yes you are definitely right, a culprit in the house most probably have taken it. till now i couldn't relocate my contradiction, and to actually think of the stories that came up while investigation, oh man...it's sickening to even think of it. so i'll save you people from reading about the crap i've heard.
case #3
the silver ring
the thick silver plated rings with fake diamond studs on it. nothing so special about this one though, but it was given to me by my mummy, when she went to the holy land of Mecca to perform her Hajj. i loved this ring coz it was priceless, coz it was a gift from my mom. it came all the way from such a far country and it got lost. everytime i wore this ring, i will go to dreamland, i don't know why. coz it was a magnificient ring. the kinda design that gives the people wearing them feel they have a strong personality and confidence in themselves. i still can't recall when it got lost, how it got lost...but all that i knew, it was always there in that cute jewellery box i had on the dressing table..just suddenly like magic it went mising. the truth is not only that ring was missing, all of the rings too. the other rings along with the memories were gone.... amazing, just the rings are gone, bracelets and bangles still left for display. one of it was a pure thin gold ring. i feel so heartbroken, why oh why...my valuable things are missing again. and it ain't my fault.
case # 4
the ricky martin: sound loaded album
this was the kinda album to die for, well for me it was. back then even till now, martin' s a great latino phenomenon.. and i am still a big fan of his spanish beats. i had this album after graduating highschool if i'm not mistaken and i took care of this album with great care since it's one of my favorite. so happens one day, someone decided to borrow the album and of course i allowed to lend it. like usual, when a person borrow's something from you, they intuitively would give sweet promises of taking good care and promising to return it back to me as how it was originally. now you don't have to guess what happened... the simple fact is that the album's gone...it's whereabouts are undetected. that person had the nerve to even pretend to be cool about it, i mean...i can't be pestering somebody to return something which belongs to me...you gotta have a sense of responsiblity right? what the heck, it's lost and i have to intention of replacing it with a new one though. so nowadays, once in a while, i would take the album cover and flip through the pages of the cute little song booklet of the album and sit back and relax while reminiscing the good old days where i used to lay on my bed while listening to martin's sultry voice...... hmmm, wondering where is my album this very moment.
case # 5
the pashmina black hijab
the most recent case, and it was today. this scarf i used to adorn them for several occasions. why is it my favorite, coz it's black and i kinda feel i look elegant wearing it. i felt a sense of intense pleasure since the material was so fine and it's totally comfortable wearing it. i've even took many photos wearing it, so you know it's my favorite. so on a lazy, calm saturday as usual i did the laundry, i ignorantly dropped the scarf in the machine too. when the machine stopped, i took out the scarf...but it was stiff, the softness of it was gone. how silly of me, i rewashed the scarf but this time around, i poured the fabric softener into the softener dispenser and gave the scarf another good rinse. so guess what happened inside the machine. you've guessed right, it ruined my lovely scarf. tore the ends of it and even some part of its sides. but this time around, suprisingly i didn't panic, i didn't scream ( i was really screaming my hearts out inside my head actually) i just felt so useless and helpless. this has resulted trough of my own negligence. it was my own fault. i was lazy to handwash it, so serve me right. hmmm, there goes my black scarf but i still took the effort to dry it outside. i decided to keep it, at least i didnt lose it, it's still with me.
case #6
the man on fire vcd
alright, this movie, is one my best fav movie. the kinda movie that made me cry first time watching it, second time watching it still made me feel really touched with the storyline. well its after all another denzel's movies...when he acts, he really portrays his versatility, real top-notch performance i must say. by the way, there's ms dakota fanning too in this movie, oh how can i resist her! she's totally adorable and so talented for a young girl as she is. so what i'm trying to explain here is that this is one great movie i would always want to cherish and add it into my movie collections. and then again, the unwanted and unexpected thing happens again. sigh~ i would sometimes just sit and ask myself.. "why me?" i mean if anybody wants to borrow it, you can ASK me. actually i don't know if i had misplaced it or it's been stolen. point is it's just gone. undetectable. how sad can this be... the whole chronology of losing my beloved possessions is just getting really ridiculous and it breaks my heart simultaneously.
it kinda hit me in my brains now that you tend to lose the ones you love the most than the ones you care less about...and usually, sad but true, it even happens in human relationships too. i've learned to take things easy now,to just go with the flow.
