how not to love you more?

I just doesn't know how not to love these bunch of small animals.

They just make us want to protect them so much.

(or is it just the maternal instinct in me playing a fool on me ?? )

Thinking back, I always wonder

Why in the world would I had tried riding a big dog at my grandpa's farm many many years ago? Sorry doggie, it may be a tad too late but now I know, you are all meant to be loved, strictly not for riding :p

ps . thanks foong ling for forwarding me these pics

anything anyone?

timid little animals

I've always wanted to rear little animals at my home but my parents wouldn't let.
Reason being they say 'I can't even take care of myself what more take care of small animals'
But I really can wor... really really can :)
Next time my home will have many small animals running around :p hehe
For they always bring me happiness ;D

Fulfilling holiday

Today, I decided to stay at home become a 'guai guai lui' (which is almost impossible)
and finish all my 'pending' in tray at home.
will start with cleaning my messy room ... please remind me to segregate 'can-be-recycled' items
if still have time, may be catch a movie or few series ... i miss watching movie
if still have time, learn to cook a dish ... most probably I'll end up eating more =p
if still have time, do facial ... before I turn 'beyond repair' and let's hope I'm not fast asleep putting mask =p
and if really still have time, update blog :D

and oh...did I mentioned I had my breakfast this morning without having brushed my teeth... =P hehe ... wah lau ... such a great way to start a holi-day

crayons

This picture says :

Like colours, we'll be outstanding if we work alone. But like colours too, we'll be much much more outstanding when we work together.

ps. actually I took the picture because the crayons are colourful & they make me happy...that simple only =p

重来

重来

歌手：无印良品

词:王裕宗 曲:品冠 主唱:品冠

曾经的你是我全部
在朋友面前常爱提起的名字
最喜欢你笑的样子
彷佛一个单纯快乐的孩子

如今一切历历在目
你已成为我伤心的往事
那段有你有梦的日子
我真的很想可以再开始

虽然过去都已飘逝
我仍期待重来一次
好好将所有感觉从头收拾
再回到我和你的昨日

我真的很想让我和你
回到过去重新再来再爱一次
我会在乎我们的故事
改写我们的历史
为你轻轻擦去眼角的泪珠
真的很想让我和你
回到过去重新再来再爱一次
我会珍惜我们的最初
不想看你为我哭
让你陪孤独说不尽心事

another of my all-time favourites :) beautiful lyrics & melody... used to know how to sing during guan liang pin guan time ... forgotten ... learning again now :)

motherly love

21/4/07
They say we always appreciate what we don't have and take for granted what we have in abundance.
I knew this is true but realised this is very very true from what I've encountered on Saturday.

people change people grow

People come people go
People change people grow

Yesterday was the last day of work for a close collegue of mine at my workplace.
Sometimes... although we are happy for her, we still wished to have her here at the office.
It is a little bit selfish but that's because we are human... where relationships with other human is among the core of life.
Whichever is your decision YY, you have our full support.

I've got a call last night..
from a friend ..
She told me 2 things .... and my heart felt heavy (as though the earlier blow is not enough)
one...she's leaving Malaysia to Singapore to work today.
second... she and her childhood sweetheart is no longer an item on 31 December last year. I know both of them.

YY & YW, all the very best to both of you :) shine and continue shining wherever you go :)

it reminds me of the malay version of 'Auld Lang Syne'
It sings...
'Bertemu dan berpisah adat manusia biasa'

TIC - 'TAG' - TOE

Last time, we play TIC-TAC-TOE
This time, we play TIC-TAG-TOE (n oh.. it's so much more complicated & challenging than SUDOKU)

How to play ah?
according to my sifus... haihh & wewewawa

a) each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 idiosyncrasies (abnormal behaviour, habits etc.) as well as clearly stating this rule.

b) after stating your 6 weirdness you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their multiply id at the bottom of your blog.

c) lastly, don’t forget to leave a comment that says "you’re tagged" in their comments and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means".

but the problem hoh.. sifus only teach me how to play
didn't teach me how to win.... so this game goes round & round with the numbers of players growing fast...u know like SUDOKU ;p

answer for part (a)
sleep - nothing unusual except that I sleep anywhere, anytime, anyway (even at time & in places I'm not supposed to)

watch - currently I'm very into Discovery Channel (which I have no idea why) although I have no ASTRO. I'm addicted to it like those television series & even went to the extent of downloading whatever Discovery Channel episodes I can find.

toilet - toilet & reading makes a good pair..to me :p but only during 'big business'... I just don't know what else I'm supposed to do or can do beside reading. At times, I may be sms'ing. So if next time I say my handphone dropped..you know what happened la :p

Chou-lo (unladylike) - chou-lo can be my second name :p not only 1 or 2 person commended but easily 10 times of that...sigh. You know it's serious when people close to you tell you so.
There were countless times when dad & dear had to remind me that I'm wearing skirts so I better not sit with my legs wide apart :p 'You're supposed to eat like a girl' that was what mum told me when I was younger but very pai-seh when dear repeated the same words now :p

Language - I've never studied Mandarin / Chinese formally before but very much attracted to the beauty of this language. At some point in my life, I bought children pictionary and try to learn all the words in the dictionary (which I obviously didn't succeed). I tried writing Chinese with all the wrong strokes during my college days (yah..college days). I was not even shy writing in square exercise book in college class and bug my friend Wai Peng to teach me read those words I'm writing. yah...I'm the tak tau malu type...kekekek...

unclassified - like how i stick my tongue out when naughty, like how I always do my crying in the shower, like keeping 'future' rubbish only to throw them away, like being perceived by others as career-driven when what I want is happy families :) like being good at wasting money on unneccessary items ... and bla bla bla...

A friend who knows I appreciate good things in life got me this from a photocopy shop.
It's an A4 size scenery background with these wordings in Chinese and English... will post the pix when camera comes back.

It says :
LIVING IN A GRATEFUL WORLD

Be grateful to those who have hurt or harmed you,
for they have reinforced your determination

Be greateful to those who have deceived you,
for they have deepened your insight

Be grateful to those who have hit you,
for they have reduced your karmic obstacles

Be grateful to those who have abandones you,
for they have taught yuo to be independent

Be grateful to those who have make you stumble,

Be grateful to those who have denounced you,
for they have increased your wisdom & concentration
