What I learn from the Unpleasant Business in Toilet 🚽

I can't believe going to toilet doing my business will lead me creating this post:

        Yesterday at 2pm, I got hangry (hungry + angry) since I hadn’t eaten anything since morning. So I ordered my first meal of that day - Mcd nasi lemak ayam goreng spicy. Frankly speaking, it tastes fantastically delicious. I enjoyed and savored every last bit of that nasi lemak. However, here comes to the burning point.

         Recently, my body has transformed from a bad bitch to a good girl. My body couldn’t withstand anything more than moderate-level spiciness compared to my glamorous university time where I killed every eating-spicy-food challenge thrown upon me. I even managed to conquer the Ghost Pepper Instant Noodle without drinking in between. But now, haha. 

        Since COVID-19, it means one thing: more time at home = healthier food. Since mummy in the house, there would be no worries of how much nutrients and vitamins that I need to take as it is well cared of. There are steamed fish, braised chicken and hot-water-boiled vegetables on the dining table. Every single day. (Of course, I am definitely grateful and thankful for the wonderful dishes, also free food!)

            Back to the topic, the end of my spicy story was that I had a rather unpleasant experience in the toilet for a while, or quite longer times than my usual’s. Speaking of unpleasant experience, in the hindsight, I shouldn’t go for that spicy MCD nasi lemak just for that short pleasure eating when I was in a dark mood. It made me to go through unnecessary nasty pain in the toilet.

My creativity juices no doubt rushing to me if able to sit on this golden bowl.

            This experience in toilet has me thinking of how often people will strive for temporary pleasure but suffer in the long term. Normally, people easily get swayed by the evilness of shortcuts to get instant gratification that eventually it will just lead you to disastrous shitload in the long run.

            I am not suggesting that you could not get your favorite nasi kandar for lunch everyday when your weight result hinders you so. It’s just that sometimes we ought to remember that what we are going to decide should align with our core values and living of lives.

            Like me, I have been eating healthily and taking care of my physical health since year 2020. I want to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I want to look AND feel physically well. If so, too spicy food is not my thing anymore as it does not align with my healthy lifestyle now, more so it could ruin my mood feeling the burn holed up there (pun definitely intended).

            At this particular example, my body suffers the most but how about when it comes to important decisions in our lives? It won’t be just about our bodies directly affected, but it will be about our families, relationships, jobs and etc., because decisions made couldn’t be revived when they involve more than just one party - ourselves.

            Hence, step back and think ahead. Don’t let the emotion sway us away too much. We can always stop and take a breath for what we are going to do for our lives, even though my efficient way is just looking at my bank account balance before I made any reckless purchase decision. Yeah, I am a definite cheapskate. Period.

Always remember the lesson. We learnt from the lesson, so that we won’t make the same mistakes again. Unless you are a daredevil who just loves falling down again and again, by all means, be my guest.

            No one guarantees that you would not make the same mistake. But keep in mind that if something had happened before, yet you drop into the same pitfall, then it is absolutely your fault so time to rethink yourself and reflect on your actions.           

            As one says, “People forgive but not forget”. We forgive the mistakes but do not forget the consequences it results. That is how human beings can innovate from the previous mistake and evolve around it to make greater resolves. We would and should not forget those shitty moments. Learn from the mistakes and change the actions.

LIT!

            My final advice: don’t fall for the same pothole if not your asshole (literally!) will be on wildness mode. MY conclusion is that since now, I will just opt for the normal MCD McChicken on the go… yet still yummy and fulfilling. ;)
