Simple Pleasures....



S
ometimes when we get too caught up in our daily lives, we tend to take for granted life's little simple pleasures... I for one have kinda realized this the hard way. I had to go on an unplanned trip to Batam last week, work related...so duty calls, being it was my first time there, didn't really know what to expect at all. Little did I know how under-developed and over-populated it was...my living conditions were to a bare minimum...and I meant that literally. Looking past that I can see the people who lived there...were simple and content with what they had...something a person like me couldn't live without...like a stable internet connection. Regardless of their conditions, the people there are proud of the their heritage...their way of life. Having lived among them...I 've learned that 'being humble' can go a long way no matter where you are coming from and what you are made of. Coming back to 'civilization' has taught me a great lesson, something that cannot be learned...only experienced. For that I am now grateful for life's little simple pleasures...

P/S I know that this is just jibberish...so bear with me....
