TRIFLE – Appreciate Everything…
Trifle carries many meanings, it means an English dessert
dish made from thick (or often solidified)
custard, diced fruit interwoven with
sponge fingers or more delicate sponge cake thin layer.
Or it also carries the
meaning of a thing of very little value.
Remember
when we were kids, how happy we are? We didn’t have any money, but we live our
life. Woke up early and smelled the new brewed tea and the spicy taste of bihun
goreng or the delightful nasi lemak prepared by our mother.
As our stomach full, we grabbed the towel and ran and chased the cat on our way to the bathroom.
Yet we pour it, washing ourselves when the water dews still dancing on the leaves. We played with the soap bubble, creating many shapes as our imagination flourished in the fantasy land. I used to image the bubble is like the cloud where we could touch and feels it.We stare
at the water for hours. We fear the cold of the water in the kolah as we fear
the burning of the fire.
As
we stare out of the window while raining, we used to watch how the water drop
on the surface and become excited to when the droplet break when it hit the
floor.
We used to watch the ants marching in a series of organised lines to the
anthill for hours.
When we heard the motorcycle
sound followed ringing of bells.
Present
In
weekend, as the Subuh past, the dawn caught us quickly without us realising few
hours already passed since that day. We grab our breakfast. Walk lazily to the
cushion and bed. We lay back and start pressing the remote control watching
till noon, and interrupted only by the lunch. Or we stick our hand with the smartphones
until the batteries sign started to show indicating it need to be recharged.
And
the same routines keep repeating during our free time.
Working
When
we grow older and move on our life in the working age, it all changed. We do
not care at all about this sweet little thing. We wake up, take a bath,
dressing, drive to work.. Work our ass off. We come back home, feeling tired, and
miserable, and wouldn’t care much about what's happening in the world. You just
want to sleep after those long, exhausting day. We have plenty of money yet we
do not feel anything around us. We do not enjoy things.
As I read from a person said
about the life of our generation are facing. - You see, we often get so caught
up in our busy lives that we tend to forget just how important it is to actually
live in and experience each and every moment in its simplicity.
We live for the
big things, the exciting things, instead of too, always appreciating the little
things. We live for the weekends, the holidays, or the vacation we’ve been
dreaming of for years, instead of too cherishing the days we spend in bed with
a pint of ice cream watching “The As time goes on, so do we.
We forget this trifle things what
used to make up our life rather the current fixed robotic life
