Life in trouble

As a student, an early to bed and early to rise is one of the inspirations that keep you fresh, active and healthy all day long. But the saying also becomes a mockery when you stop following it. Who doesn’t want to tie a knot with positive thoughts? It is a wish that every person wants to work out things the right way in their life. It however doesn’t happen the way it should and trouble starts to knock you when you are in the wrong direction. But then you can’t do anything about it as well. This is life, a life filled with happiness and agonies.


It is NOW that I happily stay late because facebook won’t let me go and sadly wake up early because I have a lecture to attend and I don’t want to miss it.
At one point, life is so much about enjoying yourself to a new level with social networking site despite the friends who is near cheers you up. You go with your friends; watch a movie, take a walk in the beach, go to clubbing, and go for shopping, do the cooking and etc all together. Then, you have friends online who listens to you while you are sharing the happenings. You can exaggerate about everything that is happening around and you know how girls’ conversation never stops. Once we start talking about one thing, we prolong the conversation and add on another topic to gossip. Isn’t this fun? Totally, it is fun.


At another point, your life is a complete misery. The massive time spent on the social net working site starts worrying you. Because you have an unfinished work that patiently waits for you to complete it without delay. As a result, tension starts to occupy you and it continues until you make it through. It doesn’t matter whether you have done correctly or not, the aim is to finish it. This is funny! The tension is not over yet. You start worrying later because you have no idea what you have written in the paper. Isn’t life such a trouble? Did I not just blame ‘life’? I think you are to be blamed for it and not life. When I am in trouble, so is my life.

On reading the news about Rupee Crunch, it was in a flick I couldn’t believe my eyes. Upon hearing about the murders and criminals from my friends, I went berserk. On seeing the unemployed graduates, I honestly felt useless studying so hard for the job. On keeping up to date about Bhutan, I am unsure about how I am going to live my life. Being a student and hearing all of it, is such a load of news to take in.


Folks, it’s time you understand the duality of life and live by understanding the limitations inside your life. Whether your life is submerged in the mud or whether you are high up the sky, you are going to suffer the living.
The short and simple example above is going to help me live my life a little better. Self consolation works!!!

My Taste Bud

So, let be begin by asking you one question. Have you ever mingled your love and hate together and got the end result a satisfying one? Sometimes, people are too ignorant to accept what they dislike and then they just dump it away exchanging for the good ones. It is a universal fact that we would obviously opt for what we like and trash what we don't like. But how about you bring some changes to your eating habits?

Recently (yesterday night), I was making a potato salad mixed with egg and a lettuce leaves for an additional taste. Tell you what; I love potatoes but I hate eggs and especially a fried and scrambled eggs and also a boiled one. I even hate the lettuce actually. I feel like I am a cow eating grasses. No offense here, I am just saying. In contrary to what I thought, I really liked the salad and I felt so happy it turned out a delicious one.

Let me tell you, I was "one" among those people who was so choosy and determined not to take anything that I found unwelcoming. I was always so particular about the food while I was at home. My friend do quote the same, "You are so particular." This would make me think twice. Anyways, I normally don’t like green vegetables such as nakay, broccoli, bamboo shoots, lady finger and Sag. I swear I hated them all but sag, I liked it a little. So whenever I see those curries as an afternoon or evening meal, I secretly got annoyed and I won't take meal telling them I am not hungry or sometimes, I tell them, I hate those curries. But who will stop cooking it when these curries are favorites of some other family member. Call me stubborn for not taking my meal on time with my family but I really had a different taste. Perhaps, you are one among them. WHO KNOWS!!!

My taste has somehow changed to liking those green vegetables and I am way too blending myself with broccoli, boiled eggs and some other green vegetables. I guess, I am improving to some extent and simultaneously adding vegetables in my list as my body builder. I then tell myself, “Green vegetables are good for health, it is nutritious" as if it is a new thing. Funny! But going round and round with new friends, learning to cook new curries, I am able to adjust with curries I come by while I go to other places as well. I am happy about it. I will not be a problem to my family when it comes to curry now. EVERYONE, EAT HEALTHY AND STAY HAPPY!!!

Did you have the same problem as me? OR Do you see changes in your taste bud as a child and as an adult?


P.S, Trying out something new is really a fun experience and you enjoy it. SO GO FOR IT!

In Search of Honey...

Dear honey,

Apparently, I am missing you
I have been thinking about you since yesterday
So this morning, I went out looking for you
Because I was feeling worst
And I missed you even more then
I wished you were here with me
To ease my pain
But you were just hiding somewhere
Frustration crossed my mind
I went to meet Doctor
He said, "Sorry, we don't have the honey you want"
I sadly turned away to chemist shop,
There wasn't a sign of the honey I want
Once again, I was doomed and tired of walking,
... But I gotta find you and I won't give up
I went to another shop yet again
Then there you were –Finally!
You were smiling to me
Sitting in the corner waiting for me to pick you up
It was the wonderful feeling ever, Sigh*
I picked you up, my honey in a little bottle
I Love you
I am terribly in need of you
My throat needs you the most
Cure me soon honey
I shall be grateful to you
With Love

We are same but different

Today I came across a woman in the library who was so busy browsing her book titled, “Gays and Lesbians” to which I have come across this topic whilst in the class. She was no stranger but one of my classmate. It was a casual conversation and we were talking about the legalisation of gays and lesbians in United States of America and eventually in Australia where gay and lesbian tradition was also legalised some months ago.

With all these conversations and keeping my boundaries between her and my tradition, I openly enquired if it is religiously legalised as well here in Australia. I don’t know why I asked that. I felt stupid for a while. Because I know, there are lots of religious conflicts coinciding with legalisation of Gays. I guess, she noticed my face turn red and confused. Definitely, I felt uncomfortable sitting near her. For once, I felt like running off to the rest room and breathe some air, calm down and talk to her again.

I was waiting for her to answer anyway. Then she came closer to me. I saw her, she was anxious to answer me. I expected some kind of an explanation or say, a statement to what I wanted to hear about ‘religion and gays’. The only thing she said to me was, ‘Dear Darling, no question is stupid.’ I smiled and then I stopped her for answering me. I thought may be I wanted to hear from some Aussie talking about it.

So keeping my mind and face relaxed, I was skimming through her notes about Gays and lesbians during 80’s. I will say, it is our mind that is creating whole of us as men and women. Whatever and whoever we become, we should respect the way the people are. Everyone is not born same and that is why, all of us are different from one another.

My Leap Year, 2012

I was half dreaming and through my clouded eyes, I saw my roommate awake. It was early morning, a rainy morning as predicted by the weather forecast. I lazily stood up from my room to the loo and back to my bed again. My bed is always so inviting. I love it and I hate it too. Lord knows why. Actually, I know it myself.
As excited as I was, I reached to my computer that was left open in the evening .What do you think, I would click on to? FACEBOOK, of course! I caught you smiling here, didn’t I? This life is normal for some while some might find it like What a facebook freak!
Anyways, as I signed in to my facebook account, I scrolled up and down to see the updates and an hour has passed already. My time flys so fast, it was almost one hour. Shit! I have a class to attend. I hurriedly checked my timetable and then sat back happily again. My class was after the lunch only.
As happy as a little kid with an ice cream on a sunny day, I dancingly opened the blogger homepage. I thought it would be a fresh start for the day. I was busy clicking from Rikku Sir’s, Langa’s, Leo’s, Sogyels and lot’s more blogger’s updates, my room mate suddenly and silently called me, “Miss Norfe, look outside the window near you.” I blankly looked out and I noticed two beautiful green bird lying outside. It was soooooo close.
Awww, they were so cute together. I immediately grabbed my phone and took continuous snap shot. For ones, I felt like a photographer trying to get a clear picture of them together. They were lovely. We assumed they were after the shelter because it was raining heavily. I and my roommate tried hard to resist the joy and enjoy their visit outside our window.

Aaaah! Those two little birds really made my day. The longer they stayed, the happier I was. The pictures weren’t that clear and good. I excitingly started to open up the window fully. Funny, they flew away as I started to pull up the window curtains.
Nature has it! And I love it! My Leap year, 2012, I WILL NEVER FORGET IT!

My One is to Three Ratio New Year Resolution

The closing of 2011 flashed everywhere-in news, in facebook, in twitter and other social entertainments. Everyone started to wait for the new day and to make a new motivation in their life. Like everyone else in the world, ever since the last month of 2011,I started to bucket list my New Year Resolutions that particularly connects with my hygiene. Accordingly, as excited and sad I was, I came up with three tops most resolutions. They were;

1) Quit the Drinking
2) Stop eating chillies
3) Become a Vegetarian

I am looking at my above resolutions again and wondering whether I have really succeeded in fulfilling the above resolutions.

Firstly, as a friendly gesture and as a company to my friends around, drinking wine became a casual stuff. With days going by, too many birthdays and the celebrations blew my heads off and honestly, I felt like I have more liters of wine than water. I enjoyed the blurriness when drunk, I liked the dizziness, when drunk and took joy being talkative when drunk. But for how long am I going to rejoice over drinking? I thought it would be a good idea to stop drinking and see how my life goes with it. I made it my first priority among the resolutions then.

Secondly, as for the chillies, I have my usual habit of eating hot chillies. I am Bhutanese and a sharchokpa girl, nothing makes my tummy happy like those hot chillies. But this hot chillies really made me suffer and ended up going to hospital for check up and then finally, taking medicine to cure the nail pinning pain on my stomach. That’s how I stopped eating chillies and at the same time, I included in my New Year Resolutions.

Thirdly, becoming vegetarian as my New Year Resolution just happened to click in my bucket list. I somewhat wanted to go back to my old times when I was a vegetarian in Bhutan and then see how my life works outside my country being a vegetarian. I have seen my other vegetarian friends complaining about meals from the restaurant and they would usually eat it from home. Or sometimes they take vegetarian burger. Their life seemed quite hard not getting to eat other delicious non-vegetarian meal. Despite all these, I challenged myself and just go through and survive without meat.

It is almost a month now that I really see the progress on my above resolutions. Well, there were occasions and I didn’t drink. There were meats laid on the table during my meal time with frends, I didn’t eat the meat. How about the chillies now? I stopped eating chilies for four to five days. I lost my appetite and every time I take my meal with less chillies, I started to get annoyed to myself. Isn’t this crazy or say, is it funny to get angry at myself? I even started to barf off the meal right in the meat.

Then, I realized how I made the terrible mistake of eating too much of chillies despite my friend’s acknowledgement. Mistake was a mistake and I need to dump the mistake in the bin and continue eating chillies. Irony, I am eating it all over again. This time, I am eating with precaution not to eat raw chillies alone and eat with the food only. At last, my three to three new year resolution didn’t work out and for one thing I am sure, I can never stop eating chillies. If anyone of you have any solution to this, help me out!!!

Now that Chunipa Losar is so close knocking your door to yet another family and friends gathering and celebrations, you all must have bought meats and drinks. Wish You All a Happy Chunipa Losar tomorrow and Enjoy your day at the fullest.

5th November, 2011

This day, 5th November made me cry happy tears. It was my birthday. What should I say about it!? The day comes once a year and it happened beautifully and memorably. It is at this moment where everyone wants to know our age and we reciprocate by telling them the wrong age.

Anyways, to my surprise, Kezang, who has been my roommate since our high school time in 2007 and also my best friend, made my midnight an unforgettable one. Kezang and all my other friends had a fare share of cakes, chips and drinks.

I want to thank Kezang for arranging such a lovely birthday eve and also my other friends who came to wish me at this hour in the cold evening. You all made my night an awesome one! I can wish for just one wish and I had my wish wished for another time. Kezang,  you are the best.

With my Mates

Had a really dry day but my friend who came all the way from Sydney to Wollongong made my day. 

Me and my roomie stalking those young Aussie boys.

It was fun and I had a good and a fun time with my friends. Thank you all my friends for wishing me.
