Good Day for you!

Ups and Downs of Life.

i'm sure i have not seen the highest Ups, and the Lowest Downs of my Life.

Of Course, we should always aim very high, but should not forget that we might fall really low as well.

Hey, why am i talking about this.

Well, it's just that as time pass by, and as we are all getting older and older each day, you tend to understand more things.

we experience more, we see more, we hear more, and we feel more, for ourselves, and for others as well.

sometimes i tend to understand alot. sometimes i tend to fall into others' trap.

most of the time being angry or upset about what other have said,done, etc,etc.

and i feel so glad when i suddenly automatically become wiser, and think that all these are not important afterall.

but it's sad to say, these so-called wisdom does not last really long. it is always overshadowed by my negative thoughts again.

how many times, i say, i want to start a new life.

how many times, i have promised to myself i want to sleep early and rise early.

how many times, i told to myself that there should be no more room for negativity.

how many times, i tell to myself, respect and love my parents more no matter what they have said or done.


sometimes i am so disappointed in myself.

Chinese New Year is approaching, so fast. i thought we just celebrated our ang moh New Year Eve several nights ago?

time is really catching up fast. really fast. i don't know what it is chasing.

but what i know is, if i don't start appreciating it, and stop all the procrastinations and laziness,

doing unproductive and useless tasks,

i will regret sooner or later.

afterall, just to make it clearer, another 3650 more days, i will become 31 years old.

what do i expect of myself at that time?

Crossroads. Left or Right?

The Road Less Taken?

i am here for quite some time already.

pretending everything is okay.

my plan is, i have no plan.

The Tea Cup

Love this story or not, you will not be able to have tea in a tea cup again without thinking of this.

There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."

As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "Don't do that."
"I don't like it!" "Let me alone," but he only smiled, and gently said; "Not yet!"

Then WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. "Stop it! I'm getting so dizzy! I'm going to be sick!", I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, quietly; 'Not yet.'

He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. "Help! Get me out of here!" I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, 'Not yet'..

When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully took me out and put me on he shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good!

"Ah, this is much better," I thought.

But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Oh, please, Stop it, Stop, I cried. He only shook his head and said. 'Not yet!'.

Then suddenly he put me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give up.

Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited and waited, wondering "What's he going to do to me next?"

An hour later he handed me a mirror and said 'Look at yourself.' And I did. I said, That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!!!

Quietly he spoke: 'I want you to remember, then,' he said, 'I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried

up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled.

I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life.

If I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you.'"

The moral of this story is:

God knows what He's doing for each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make us and expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will.

So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed almost beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control; when you feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink", try this.

Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and think on this story and then, have a little talk with the 'Potter'. . .you'll be glad you did.

Last few moments of 2008...

oh yeah.

it's that time of the year again. :)

like one more day before the year 2008 elapses.

New Year Resolutions, Anyone?

i have not done mine.

Never really had them for quite some time.

wanted to do this, for how long.

i feel that i am even more busy during the holidays :P Proscrastination la.

And because everyone is going to be so so so busy tomorrow at work or whatsoever,

i will be the one going out to get the New Year Eve preparations done.

get that Big tub of ice-creams, duck, party packs..... all that. preparing for tomorrow's night.

Yes. All will be here! except for dajie who is so stupid at Langkawi.

wei, who is going to open our Sparkling Juice for us!!!

oh yeah. talking about New Year Resolutions,

u had any?

to save time.

i think i better think of them while blogging.

not much time left for 2008!!!

1. control the intake of my food. not calories, but try to take in good and healthy food.
less oil, less frying.., siham, lala...
(cancers are just like flu nowadays! its so scary ok, everyone please take care and i belive it's time to start a healthy lifestyle.)


2. sleep early, rise early! (very very extremely difficult for me but i will try, really)


3. drink lots and lots of water. (pimples must go away!! i'm already 21! still young i know but...)


4. cultivate deeper patience. i admit i have really low EQ. but sometimes i do think that people with high EQ are actually not that genuine afterall. but whatever, we all need that stupid fake EQ at the corporate world if u actually want to survive in there! And of course, it comes in need too when facing some relatives and family members!

(for instance, menopause parents, problematic sibblings, bad tempered whoever, and those who are very small gas, dont kacau lah. just smile and smile and go! don't simply talk! hehe! *just some eg. readers don't be so sensitive*)

5. i slowly recognize that being too real and honest is not a very good thing in the social world.
people just want to hear nice things, positive remarks, and nice things and positive remarks.
Beautiful lies? ok. easy job. i just dont talk lor...


6. Don't just get Angry or upset so easily!
breathe in 123,321.... and... S-m-i-l-e..... slowly.. and deeply from the heart. :)
( seriously i want to be very +ve, +ve and +ve already! no lie! no more tears no more!! )


7. Love my parents and the elderly more!
( They are always right....... just like customers are always right......)

8. Be true and be a friend to everyone! :D Welcome, if u are sincere too!

9. Be more decisive! Lamb Chop or Chicken Chop? Barley or YuenYong? Pink or Black?
( Stop caring too much about others! Listen to your heart, and just do what u feel like doing!)

10. Visit My Gong Gong and Po Po more often. i reckon that i have neglected them alot this year.
Very hectic third year of Uni. ( I mean, how often can we visit them in the coming future?
Show them you do care. They are actually very important.
Without them, Where is your dad and mom, and where art thou?)

11. Sense of Directions. Sense of Directions. Sense of Directions.
( If there is such pill, i would be the first to get it)

12. Buy things only when i really like it, and when i really need it, not just because it's Cheap! or
got discount.... sweat. =_="

13. Love Everyone more. Less distinctions between You and I. Be happy for everyone :)

14. Sit up straight. Good Posture. No hunching.

15. Stop all the Negative thoughts, and Welcome to the Year of Positive 2009!! :D

16. Read and learn more on anything and Everything!
Know at least abc of everything! and try to know the xyz of those which are useful and
those that i'm interested in ! ( Life is a never ending learning path, u agree with me?^^)


17. Be more passionate and enthusiatics and also pay more concentrations and be more
serious in every little or big thing that i'm doing! Be it brushing teeth or making my bed!
Try to aim for perfections! Nobody says being Perfectionist is wrong!

18. Listen more and Talk less.
Say more good things, and let go the evil thoughts.

19. oh yeah i better go to bed earlier, it's already 12.46. and they say when the clock strucks at 12am tomorrow, whatever you are, will be whatever you are going to be for the rest of 2009!
so will you just welcome the lovely 2009 with the warmest heart??

Hope Everyone has a fulfilling and great year ahead!

May all wishes come true :)

May Happiness, Good Health, Good Fortune, and Positive Companies surround you always

May Faith, Strength, Strong Determination, and Patiences accompany you during your hard time.

but most importantly,

May it be a Smooth Sailing 2009 for all of us!! :D

好久好久没听的

想不到，他的歌， 疗伤力不俗。

阿牛的歌，小 时候常听的。

现在再听，简简单单 的曲子，依然 韵 味不 减。


"什么时候才能 对这世界没有怨言 啊。。"

"周围的车子怎么越跑越快，周 围的房子怎么也越起越快，童年的足 迹都已经被取代。。"

如果有一天，我消失了。。别担心，我会过得更好的

心情不是很 稳定。。

我终于明白 电视上常 说的 :"我想要一个人静一静"。

不否认，有时的我是个很悲 观的人。。悲 观到你也无法相信。。

陈年旧事，不能说我还记得一清二楚， 但 别休想我已把 它们忘得一干二净了。。

不可能的。

越想越多。。

越来越多的伤心回忆就渐渐的一一浮现在脑海中。

他们说，别为了小小的挫折而 伤心绝望。。

我从来就不是 电视迷。

自己扭开电视 更是罕事。

但，今天的我。。足 足 对了电视一整天。。

似乎逃避著什 么似的。。

天时地利人和

家人们都出去了。。刚好我可以一个人静一静。

一直都弄不明白。。

好多好多的人生道理。

别人对你不好，

你怎么能笑嘻嘻地，一脸无事的任由他那 样亏待你呢?

我从来就不大喜欢在大家面前笑 嘻嘻， 整天摆 出一副 讨人欢喜的模 样。。

但背后却高谈阔论别人是非的人。

假兮兮， 我不喜 欢。

做人太多的原 则，

我不喜欢。

其实，可以大哭一 场是件好事。

现在的我，

欲哭无泪。

那种感觉，真的不好受。

我也想每天都开心的笑。

但，你想见到我伪装出来的快乐吗 ?

说真的，

有时很想到深山去隐居。。

与人世间隔离。。

不需与任何人沟通。。

人与人之间的复杂关系。。

我好烦。。

好闷。。

好无奈。。

不知所措。。

不想与任何人说话，

因为，

现在的我，

是赤裸裸的。

不想 说给谁 听。

Twilight

WEeeeee!! so handsome! :P

i want to be your Bella too >_<

No Twilight ok =P

i kinda know every character.

你是怎么飞起来的？”我问的是他那令 人 难以置信的滑翔。

“我想象自己是一 只 鸟 。”他在海 滩上快乐地奔跑。
