Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

            Why did the chicken cross the road?? Haha. Don't get yourself overstress with this tricky question. I have an idea of why did the chicken cross the road.
            In an old village located in the land of Madagascar, there once lived an old farmer who owned about 200 chickens in his farm.He was a very hardworking man and really concerned about his work. Every morning, he would feed the chickens and clean his farm.He would also make sure that all his chickens are safe and remain in a good condition. He loved them very much untill he could even cry when some of his chickens died due to sickness.
           He felt very happy with his life because to him, the chickens were his lovely companions. He had his own house, car, farm and even his own money. But something was missing to the puzzle. But what was it?? Ahah! A beautiful wife! He had been single for about 52 years. Yet, he wanted a wife so much. He might be happy with all the chickens around but was he felt lonely without a lovely wife. And he needed children to take over him in maintaining his farm. He had been praying for a good wife. I mean since he was 25. But he wandered why he still could not find one.
           Though it was kind of sad to be in his position, he never blaimed God. Not even a complaint he had made. Because he was all alone living in the village, he had no other choice but to talk and share stories with the chickens. During his free time, he would spend his time talking to the chickens, from one chicken to another. He was never bored of them. But the chickens were bored of his long-lasting topic.He kept telling them how sad he felt without having a family. He also told them that if he had a family, he would still care about the chickens. And even his children can play with them.
           The chickens somehow felt pity for him. The wanted to help him so much. But the problem was how was that possible?? What can they do? So, one night, they held a meeting. During the meeting, each of them voiced out their opinions on how can they help their owner. Suddenly, they had a brillliant idea!
           The next morning, they decided to work out the plan. Their plan was that all of them suppose to go out of the village and croos the road to get into another city. But wait! If all of them were to get out of the village, what about their owner?? He would be pretty worried about them. So, they made their final decision. The smallest and weakest chicken would work on it. Because with this, the man would not realise that it was missing for she is the smallest!
           They smallest chicken quickly ran out of the village. Finally it reached a small road. At first, it hesitated to cross, but it had no choice but to do so in order to get to the other city. After been walking for  hours and hours, he reached the city. He started with Plan B. He walked in the middle of the town and shouted at the top of his voice. That made everyone turned around and stopped and stared at her. Then it said, " I need only single women aged above 50 to be here please! I have an important announcement! thank you!" The people were puzzled because of his action. Some just walked off. But there was a lady aged about 19 approached it. She was curious to know what the chicken wanted to say. But the chicken said that she was too young for it. The young lady refused to leave. She said she would do anything as long as the chicken tell her about it. Finally, it said " will you be my owner's wife?? He had been waiting for..." Before he could continue, the lady ran away.
           HAHAHA. Dear readers, the little chicken crossed the road because it wanted to get a wife for his owner. Oh. What an understanding chicken! But he failed! The lady ran away before he could explain further. But why did she ran away??? Its because it was her first time talking to a chicken:) obviously she was scared!

An Experience When I Have Read Someone Wrongly

           This incident happened in Kuala Lumpur when I was 12. It was during the school holidays that my family had planned to enjoy ourselves after the whole long year of work and school.
           After about five tiring hours walking from one shopping mall to another, we felt really exhausted and every step we took was hard. Like a toddler learning to walk.
           It was 1.30 in the afternoon. We went to The Seafood Nasi Lemak stall for lunch. As we reached there, I was the first one to grab the chair. Huh! Finally. We ordered five plates of nasi lemak and can drinks. While waiting for the orders to be served, my family was talking about our plans for the following day. I didnt talk much as I was too tired. I looked around. Looking at the people and surrounding.
            A few minutes later, a waiter came to serve us. While he was putting the plates on the table, I realised something. His eyes caught in one corner under the table. Okkkkkkayyyy.... In my heart I was like, "Why is he staring at my legs??" I felt awkward when he started to smile to himself. What is happening??! But I remained calm. Oh. Maybe my legs are just too attractive. haha. But I really got to know what is wrong with him. Without wasting my time, I quickly looked under the table. Oh my goodness!! Guess what?! I was wearing a slipper on my right leg and a high heel on the other side! This actually happened when I was busy putting on a pair of fabulous and wonderfully made high heels. I wanted to get that. Unfortunately,  my family was so hungry until we had to rush for lunch. So, meaning that I was walking out of the shopping mall with this condition. What an embarassing incident! And the worst part was that not even my parents, neither my brother nor my sister realised that!
           As the waiter left, I told my family about it and that I left one side of my slippers at the mall. They laughed at me! hmph. Luckily, the shopping mall is just behind the stall. So, my sister and I had to get my slipper back and return the unpaid high heel. On our way to the shopping mall, I saw an old man sitting down by the roadside. His clothes torn and dirty. He had this sympathetic look in his face. I didnt know why I just felt pity for him. He seemed to have no one to take care of him.
          I slowly approached him. He was sitting down in a position where his head was half bowed. I wanted to talk to him, but I didnt. I looked for a container around him for me to put some coins. I could not find one. My sister kept on calling me to be fast, but I ignored her. I didnt want to leave the old man without giving him anything. So, I put the coins on his lap and walked away.
          Suddenly, I heard a voice calling. I was shocked. Is he the one who called me?? Without hesitation, I turned back. Yes! It was him. He was laughing. hah??! What did I do?? I kept quiet because I didnt know what to say. It felt like I was dreaming. Can you imagine an old and sick looking man can laugh loudly?? Finally he spoke. " Young lady, Im not a beggar even though I look like one." He could not continue. Again. He laughed. My sister and I were standing there as if we were dying! Then he said, " Girls, look at the camera behind you. We are actually having our shooting session for the new upcoming movie which is 'The Mysterious Beggar Part One'.
           I was really SPEECHLESS! What have I done! I had ruined their movie's shots! Fortunately, they were not angry at me. I apologised with the most innocent look ever! And quickly ran into the shopping mall. I could not believe what I've just experienced. And because of that, I lose my appetite. I ended up skipping lunch. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
          Dear readers! The next time, think wisely before doing something. If you can't decide what to do, look around for an answer!

What I Like Best About Myself?

               I would consider my characters to be the thing that I like best about myself. Firstly, character here means the qualities that make someone or something different from others. Im an easygoing person. I can adapt to new environment as well as making lots of new friends. Meeting and knowing more about people from different backgrounds inspire me to be more socialise. I consider myself as an amicable person. It is very interesting to have lots of friends around. A good friend suppose to be someone that we can rely on because he or she will always be there for us in good and bad times. I look at the positive angle of being friendly. When we learn to respect and understand others, we will be treated the same. Being an optimistic person is also one of my characters. In life, there will be time when things do not go according to our plans. But I believe that everything happens for a reason as the saying goes " Every clouds has a silver lining". I agree that it is not always easy to accept and let go. We need a little faith. Keep in mind that life is not complete when tears never get the chance. With the positive characters that I have in me, it is going to be easier for me to face challenges in the future. For example,when I fail in doing something, I will never give up. I used to think that everyone was born with different talents and abilities. So it does not mean that when we fail on some commitments, we will never be good because we are unique in certain things. Last but not least, my major principle is to make sure that everyone has the characters like I do. This is because when we try to be as positive as possible, we will naturally realise that life is still worthwhile.
