On another note;
Today I visited my friend's place, chit chatting with his mum and grams.
Brought over Nasi lemak to have with them since I arrived quite early. I've known those two ladies quite long time ago. Almost 8 years I guess.
So there we go having breakfast at the kitchen. And the grandma offered me laksa Johor, saying that they have some laksa paste made earlier, just need some heating. I thought that it would be rude to decline their offer.
So while I was having the laksa (mind you, we all ate Nasi lemak I brought, and they cook me one portion of laksa just for me, one people, ONE), the grandma mentioned about one thing that struck my conscience, about rizq.
She was saying that I'm so lucky, Murah rezeki as we Malays call it.
She said that, it's my rizq is in abundance, I came to their house, they can offer me the laksa with all the condiments, they said that they have the cucumber in the fridge, they just got a pineapple, and they have some daun kesum still in the fridge. Meaning that, they can serve me with a complete set of a laksa Johore could be.
On top of that, the grams mentioned that, even the pineapple they had was sweet.
Then there was this ripe mango on the table, and once again, they peeled it off, served it to me. And once again grams said, "ha, it's really your rizq. Sweet pineapple, ripe and sweet mango for you today. ". She mentioned that, if the rizq set and given from Allah is not there written for them, at times when people visit their place, they might have nothing to serve, or incomplete ingredients to make any dishes or even not having energy to serve their visitors.
It struck me. Struck me twice.
I think I may have not really thought or ignore these small signs of the Almighty.
I guess I'm too absorbed into looking at those materialistic pov and forgot that rizq comes in so many ways, resulting in me not realizing I'm sooooo blessed in so many ways! Be grateful people. Grateful for all the small things in life you got to enjoy. And don't forget to have fun!

Yup, sometimes we tend to overlook these small things in life. Always have to remind myself too, to be thankful for even the slightest thing. I like your blog name, btw.
