Sweet Things, Bitter Things.

Assalamualaikum. 

It's the second week of the semester break 

and I'm a part time worker now. 

Typical me during holidays. 

I just don't like sitting around doing nothing 

even though for this semester break 

I do have some other plans 

but I figure out to keep the money flow coming in

so yeah 

here I am. 

Trying to find some clean income. 

May my efforts be blessed. 

Alright, so... 

I've been working here for three or four days 

and I observed a lot. 

Yet there is this one main thing 

that kept on dragging my attention. 

It's the nature of customers 

I've been dealing with. 

Of the favouritism 

for something sweet, nice, & good-looking 

over the bad, not tasty & ugly things. 

Let it be food & beverages 

clothes & apparels 

or even delicate things like memories & happenings. 

Humans, they just love keeping things sweet 

while despising its bad twin. 

Not my pic.

I come to realize 

that even though it's a common thing 

and sure, it's good to cling on to sweet things 

Nonetheless

This nature itself 

makes men mislead of the fact 

that most medicine is bitter 

and sweets are one of the cofactors of diseases 

that sweet things pamper & bedazzle people 

while bitter, sour or even tasteless things 

become the best teacher of men. 

To heal from a particular sickness 

we need to consume antibiotics & pain-killer, whatever they are 

and they aren't sweet. 

To move forward in life 

we need to put a lot of effort 

and that's not a sweet thing, as per say. 

Thus, I believe 

while the nature itself 

isn't a flaw to begin with 

we should also not let ourselves 

be mesmerized by them sweet things 

for they are just illusions 

keeping us clinging around 

failing to scale it higher 

towards a better human in us. 

For that, I'm still relieved 

that I can't find a highly frequent customer 

JUST YET. 

Like, awat makan donut hari-hari ni? 

Nak jadi bulat macam donut gak kaaaaaaaaaaaaa? 

That will be my first thought if such customer exists. 

Ceq yang baru kerja sini sehari dua pun dah muak makan donut tau 

and I can't believe it if there is a kind of people 

who eats them doughnuts 

macam makan nasi. 

Mohon dijauhkan. 

Till then. 

To let go off the sweet, nice & tasty things 

and to accept the awful, bad & ugly side of them 

is the secret to get over the bridge. 

Probably. Who knows? 

Ja ne~
