laughing matters...

i was reading muddy's blog the other day, "laughing matters" and i came across one part of his entry on the fact that he like to laugh a lot and people often commented on that..

my say on that.. suka hati lah!

my best friends and i dearly loves a laugh..sometimes at just the first word "hello" we'd already started giggling and hence you know the direction of the conversation already :p and believe me, we've got comments like that all time "you like to laugh a lot huh?" or the malay version "u nie suka gelak ek?" or even worse "wats so funny lah?" and they say it like its a bad thing!

what can i say, we are easily amused and over the years we have matured enough to learn to we laugh at ourselves as much as we laugh at other things too and life gets funnier and funnier each day..ruginye if u cant see the funny side of life!

whenever i make new friends i would first judge them on their sense of humour and their ability to judge and separate between the funny and the plain stupidity..and the collection of close friends that i have all shares the outlook at the world as i do and thus we can sit down and have a decent conversation and a good laugh together and those will be some of the simplest and bestest time u have spend together..

i think people who likes to makes this comments are people who dont get it, they dont get the joke or what is it that amuses us to no ends..and that feeling of not being part of the laugh, its pretty sad actually and can be quite intimidating..but dats why u have to go and find yr own group of friends that shares the same views as you do, after all one thing that amuses you may not be amusing to another..dont go and spoil other's people's mirth just because you dont get the joke!

a quote from the great George Bernard Shaw,

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

so go on..see something funny today, and laugh till your stomach hurts and tears are rolling down yr cheeks..its the best therapy there is (^_^)
