Like that lah
It's a fact. One can't have two good things together in their hands most of the time. It's either you gain one, or lose the other or worse still, you lose both. :) Hardly a time you can have both.
For me, it's either suffer a bit now, easy later; OR easy now, suffer later. Like the old Malay proverb goes, "Bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian".
It's so hard doing the latter...*sigh*.. I guess, life's like that lah.
Oh God, give me strength, patience and an understanding mind. Amen.
