Be Careful What You Wish For...


Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Here's a story from my roommate:


The words of my roomie (translated from Bahasa Indo):


When I was young, I would pray to God every night. And I would pray:
"God, please grant me a good life partner,
one I can love, one my parents would approve of.
Really, it's perfectly all right even if beauty is not her defining quality,
as long as she can make me happy,
as long as I can pour out my troubles to her,
as long as I can enjoy beautiful moments along with her,
as long as she would always dispel my boredom,
as long as she can put up with the shortcomings of my personality,
and shall not part with me for a long time.


Six or seven years later, I can't remember, I was brought somewhere along with my dad, and then she caught my eye. I could feel it. Well... it was... love.
My dad looked up from his business for a while, chuckled to himself and I, and said:
"Son, in my opinion, she is best suited for you.
She isn't that elegant or stylish,
but she can make you happy.
You can pour out all your troubles into her receiver,
Her camera can help you capture all those good times,
She can play music for you, and dispel your boredom.
She is tough, and will no doubt be able to withstand your roughness."


And so, with my father's blessing, I was united with her. We've been together for three years now, and I don't think we're going to part ways anytime soon.


Yup, me and my beloved Nokia 3330.


Well, who am I to complain? My prayer was answered.


God has a wonderful sense of humour, doesn't He? And as he made my roomie laugh in retrospect, I too am continuously inspired and motivated by the Creator of Laughter, to continue to find a reason to smile, everyday!!!
