Yet when we put all colours together, we get white. Isn't it amazing?
What would life be if all we see is black & white?

So to show appreciation for our colourful lives :) would like to share a few colourful pics :)

for roosters
Yesterday was Chap Goh Meh .. literally translated from Hokkien as the 15th night.
It also marks the end of Chinese New Year celebrations.
Chap Goh Meh is also Chinese Valentine's Day. On this night, unattached ladies to throw 'kam' a.k.a mandarin oranges into the sea, rivers or lakes, hoping the other half will appear.
I've been to one of such occasion at Taman Tasik Permaisuri with a group of close friends.
Stop blinking ^^! hehe .. yah, I've been there and even thought of throwing 'kams' :p
To begin the year, a peek into what the piggy year offer to us roosters :D
Personality
Dramatic but a reputable person who works systematically Hardworking, resourceful, talented and confident.
Vivacious and popular socially, but may have a tendency to brag insensitively.
Outspoken and loves to attract attention. Always take good care of their family and can handle money well.
The Rooster, or Chicken as he is called, is the Don Quixote of the Chinese cycle. The dauntless hero who must look to the earth to survive, he is the most misunderstood and eccentric of all the signs. outwardly, he is the epitome of self-assurance and aggression, but at heart he could be conservative and old-fashioned.
The Rooster-born, especially the men, will be attractive, even dashingly handsome. The princely fowl is radiant and proud of his fine feathers and has an impressive carriage. You don't find any roosters slouching; they strut about with dignity. Even the shyest member of the Rooster family will cut a neat, trim figure and maintain a special bearing wherever he goes.
There are two distinct type of Roosters.
The rapid-firing, extremely talkative ones and the deadly solemn observer types with the X-ray vision. both are equally hard to deal with.
The Rooster has many outstanding qualities to crow about. He is sharp, neat, precise, organized, decisive, upright, alert, and most direct. He can also be critical to the point of brutality. Don't ever ask him his frank, candid opinion--you may never recover from his comments.
He loves to argue and debate, showing how knowledgeable and smart he is, some- times with little regard of the feelings of others. But when his feathers are ruffled in return, he is insufferable. He isn't cut out to be a diplomat. Situations regarding tact, delicacy and discretion will cramp his style. His way is to go about trying to convert everyone to his way of thinking with a missionary zeal. He shines when he is the center of attraction.
Tremendously imposing as a personality, he could well pursue any career that exposes him to the public eye.

The Rooster likes: Hard works, Fresh Air, Neat but Casual, Challenges, Nature and Control.
The Rooster dislikes: Laziness, Weakness, Technology, Illness, Practical Jokes and politics
Our luck in 2007
Overall Forecast
Everything seems to go against you. The environment will not be to your favour. Beside, you will also be troubled by your health or family. Black as the situation looks for you, and beware of outdoor safety. Optimize your social network and social activities. A careful living would make you healthy.
Career
You will not have a most happy and prosperous career under the influence of much inference, but good relation and hard work can make it possible to land on your feet. Your luck is so unstable that new ideas, such as starting a business or changing jobs, should be taken into consideration. Without full preparations, you would suffer loss even in golden time.
Love
A characteristic of Rooster this year is your numerous in love life. Arguments over different views with your family will bring tensions. There may be separations between couples or lovers, and you should keep your head and tolerant to enhance communication and understanding. Participate in a number of social whirls to make more friends. Heighten your vigilance, or you would into a trap. You will enjoy a routine family life by sharing the feelings of your family members.
Wealth Your wealth luck is average. Budget and management will be keys for this year since spending increases but not on the revenue. These measures should be taken as quickly as possible so that you could make preparation mentally and physically. There will be various temptations from investment, but your pragmatic on your decision-making before plunging into the market blindly. Your problems on capital turnover will be resolved miraculously

BABEL
BABEL ....
one of oscar nomination for best movie was an interesting watch (to me) although the person sitting next to me was half asleep :p
It reflected many realities in life. It reflected the many faces of human.
After watching the movie, I realised that ' jia jia you ben nan nian de jing ' literally translated as every family has their own problems.
And that as a part of the world community, each and every of our actions will have impact on ourselves as well as others.
I like the way the stories from different parts of the world are linked effortlessly by an incident that happen ... beginning with the naive'ness of 2 kids.
The world isn't a perfect place but we know our little effort can make it a better place for all :)

Dance
I used to dance to music and songs in my home living room when no one is at home or when everyone is fast asleep.
It’s when I relax myself.
It’s also when I learnt to sing all those Chinese songs.
However, with my hectic life these days, I hardly have the time or energy to dance to the music anymore. The time I have left was spent sleeping.
The second excuse I gave myself was the hi-fi set in my living room is no longer working thus I’m unable to dance to music.
Oh I missed mentioning, those were the time when I didn’t have to work on weekends, didn’t have to take care so much of household matters, wasn’t in a relationship, has nothing better to do :)
Lately, I miss dancing freely to the music all again all alone ... letting my body flow with the melody. Doing somersault when I feel like it.
No worry, I’m going to do it again… very soon :D wee……

Index
Yesterday KLCI index closed at 1237.08, a whopping decline of 35.79 points from Monday’s closing.
This is one of the biggest fall in a day’s trade since the days of 1997.
I do not know why but my heart felt heavy when I read the latest update online around 5.30pm. Some fear grip me.
There were expectations that the market will fall after it had been in the bull run since end of last year, however we were caught unaware by this big fall.
There were expectations for the market to continue bullish till it reaches 1350 points.
There were news that we(our country) are performing well fundamentally.
On the other hand, we do not know how long these foreign funds will help to accelerate or sustain our market.
Whatever happens and like in any market, there tend to be gainers and losers.

Bad morning good afternoon
During my early morning rush while walking towards Bdr Tun Razak LRT station,
I slipped and fell.
Tried blaming the shoes and the slippery ground but really,
nothing beats my clumsiness :p
Luckily the fall just left me some scratches with blood and blue black marks.
My things in the paper bag I’m carrying were clever enough not to scatter too far away
from their owner :p
However, in the afternoon, my good luck came back to me :)
not only I got a RM10 voucher through the lucky draw,
I got myself Nivea Visage Whitening Eye Cream for free too
(although I had never used one before).
What’s ironic … the salesgirl actually forgot to let me draw when I pay and had to get her colleague to call me back to draw.
If I had walked away with the speed I was walking like in the morning,
I may not have the lucky lucky draw :)
Sometimes when our day may not have a good beginning, never give up cause we may have a wonderful day ;)

Doc said
Of late, I’ve been unwell quite often. It’s only the beginning of the year and I’ve been to the doctors many times.
I’ve been receiving signals from my body as well. I think they are trying to tell me “Hey girl, you’d better start looking after yourself and stop treating us so badly, else we’ll show our true colours.”
Doc said : You need to exercise. Really exercise and sweat.
As much as I would like to include shopping as part of an exercise regimen, I was told shopping is not exercise. We don’t sweat in those air conditioned environment. ( Actually I do sweat when it’s time to pay or swipe my cards, thinking of the amount of money spent :p )
So once I’m recovered, I’ll be up and getting my butt off to sweat it out.
What the doc said was just way too important for me to ignore.
GO EXERCISE GIRL. YOU NEED IT. PLENTY OF IT.

最浪漫的事 translated
A friend was curious about the content of the song I posted some days ago as she doesn't read Chinese. So I told her I'll try to give a translation :)
Most romantic thing
by Chau Yong Hua
Back to back sitting on the floor mat
Listening to music, talking about hopes
You hope I will be more gentle (a.k.a caring)
I hope you'll always put me in your heart
You say you want to present me a romantic dream
Grateful that I lead you to find heaven
Not afraid that it may take a lifetime to complete
As long as I say, you'll never forget
The most romantic thing I can think of
Is to grow old gracefully together with you
Accumulating all the ups & downs laughters along the way
Keeping them so we can share slowly on the swing next time
The most romantic thing I can think of
Is to grow old gracefully together with you
Old till we are unable to travel around
You still treat me like a little precious in your palm
直到我们老的哪儿也去不了
你还依然把我当成手心里的宝
Especially this last two sentences.... very 'zheng' :) but I don't think I translated it well.

'Yan yeong ngor, ngor yeong yan'
Today is 'Yan Yat' 7th day of Lunar Chinese New Year and also everyone's birthday.
Happy Birthday to everyone!!! This birthday I would like to share with you a little story.
The other day, while waiting to bring the doctor to see my mum, I heard this conversation among a pair of younger couple and a pair of older couple.
The dispensary officer asked the younger wife whether she wants to have extra medicine for Chinese New Year since the clinic will be on long holidays.
The younger wife asked whether how much does it cost for the additional medicine as she’s tight on budget.
Old uncle : You can save on other things but not on health.
Young wife : But we are more tight on budget, especially for the kids and Chinese New Year’s coming.
Old aunty : We understand that our family always come first, but if you are unwell, who will take care of them? Especially small kids.
Old uncle : ‘Thai hoi di’ … be more open minded. The world is like this, in our life, ‘yan yeong ngor, ngor yeong yan’ … people take care of me, me take care of people.
The young couple agreed.
Old uncle : Don’t compare and make ourselves think we must have what material things others have. Catching up with the joneses causes more damages to our life. What’s important during new year is family reunion and not who has the most expensive things.
The young couple nodded in agreement.
I smiled because I had learnt a valuable lesson. The conversation took place last last Saturday but it still stay fresh in my mind.
But I do agree very much that in our life ‘Yan yeong ngor, ngor yeong yan’
No matter it’s our grandparents, parents, our children or grandchildren.
I’ve also always believe in ‘Pay It Forward’
For every kindness or help that we received, be grateful and let others also enjoy the kindness or help.

Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year!!!
May..." da fu qi "
" da fu gui "
" da tuan yuen "
" da fong sou "
be with you & your family every day of the year :)
This is one of the angpow collection that I love as I find it very meaningful :)
This new year is a little bit more special :)
I didn’t really shop for clothes this new year, instead my new year shopping were more family inclined especially items like cookies, household items & foods preparation for reunion dinner.
My first lou sang was with a group of close friends a week before Chinese New Year. This is a new head start as I usually have lou sang only after 1st day of lunar Chinese New Year.
For the very first time, I didn’t take any leave for Chinese New Year as for the past years, I took either before or after.
Since childhood days where my parents buy new clothes for me, this new year I received 3 new clothes which I treasure alot.
Today is only the 4th day of Chinese New Year... I believe there are more to come and good things are coming to us all year round :)
Foods of Joy
Ever wonder why there are certain things that we always have for reunion dinner?
All or most of the foods we have during Chinese New Year are very meaningful :)
Sea cucumber - Hoi Sum - happy
Hair-like weed - Fatt Choy - good luck & prosperity
Oyster - Hou see - good event
Prawn - Ha - laughter (hehe haha)
Pineapple (tarts) - wong lai - prosperity coming
Coconut - ye zi - togetherness
other foods include :
Peanuts symbolise long life
Sesame seeds sprinkled over foods to signify fertility
As for foods in candy tray :
Candied melon - growth and good health
red melon seed - joy & sincerity
lychee nuts - family togetherness
lotus seeds - for lots of offspring
tangerine - abundant happiness
read about this in The Star newspapers. I only knew a few but the article gave me a more thorough understanding :)

It’s not that difficult after all
I must admit I used to procrastinate and leave the most difficult task to last minute. I realized this is no good and decided to make a change.
Lately I force myself to tackle difficult situations immediately eg. picking up the phone to call customers facing problems as soon as problem reported, writing the user requirements / reports as it is requested, testing the functionally and raising error logs immediately...
Many at times, I just force myself and say ‘get over with it, the faster the better, then don’t have to worry so long’.
It works. I realized I get a lot of things settled and customers (both internal & external) are happy that you response to them immediately although you may not be able to solve the problem on the spot.
Sometimes it's just all in our mind.
Most importantly, it’s not that difficult after all =)

最浪漫的事
Lately, temperature at my blog has been very low :p in order not to let it frozen, me decided to include some 'control' measures to maintain the average acceptable temperature :p
Would like to dedicate this beautiful song to all lovers and soon-to-be-lovers and yet-to-be lovers :)
Happy Belated Valentine's Day! :)
最浪漫的事
by 赵咏华
背靠着背坐在地毯上
听听音乐聊聊愿望
你希望我越来越温柔
我希望你放我在心上
你说想送我个浪漫的梦想
谢谢我带你找到天堂
哪怕用一辈子才能完成
只要我讲你就记住不忘
我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢变老
一路上收藏点点滴滴的欢笑
留到以后坐着摇椅慢慢聊
我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢变老
直到我们老的哪儿也去不了
你还依然把我当成手心里的宝

There a little story behind this beautiful gift set.I like the fragrance of moonflower that I didn't wanted to use it. Then the day I decided to use the body lotion about a year later, I realised I was allergic to it ... started having rashes.
I told you that "my body is not used to expensive stuff" ... actually me didn't want you to spend so much unneccessarily, dear :) Johnson & Johnson or Nivea is good enough for me :)
Till today, whenever smiley 'nag' me.. I'll laugh with joy :DAt the Ferringhi beach front, I wanted to make a choice of taking either the small little kite or this 'nagging' smiley home. You didn't let me think too much. You just paid for both.
Thanks dear for making me to bring smiley home as well because it's one of the things that make mum laugh too.

The day you sew my backpack for me was the day I asked "What have I done to deserve someone so good & caring to me?"It was just last 2 months during our trip to langkawi that my new backpack (1st time use) was spoilt by a very 'chou lou' me. You actually found a sewing kit & sew my backpack for me while I was snoring away like a pig. I must admit that your needlework is much better than mine :p Somehow it's those little little things you did that touches my heart... I do not know why dear.
Yah, right.. it's just a packet of peanuts :p but it's a packet of peanuts that have flown over thousands of kilometres, travel with you from KLIA back to my palm. Sometimes it's not what you give me that counts dear, it's the thoughts that counts.
It's like when you just have a peanut in your hand, yet you still want to share it with the person you love.
This was what you did to my calendar dear :) I've always wanted to ask you why smiley on 2nd November got 'fang' wan? :p or was handsome smiley wearing bow tie on that day? :pIf smilies represent happiness that you've brought & will continue bringing to my life dear, can I have a request :)
Dear, can you fill each day of each year in my calendar with smilies? .... with or without fang also can :D

Please don't laugh at me :D I know it's silly but I was insecured during then I must admit.Remember last year when you're away for work in East Malaysia on 14/2/06, I acted as though I care less whether you are around for our first valentine's day but I was actually worried..worried that you may have someone else in your arms. Looking back, it was very silly of me.
I'm sorry dear for having such thought.
Every time when I see camomile tea at the aisle in hypermarket, I can't help but remember the camomile tea you insist of buying for me despite me objecting during our Cameron trip. When you choosed camomile from the few flavours available because it helps me to sleep better, I was touched. You actually remember I once told you I had difficulties having a good sleep.

I wish you know how happy I was flying the kite you brought for me at Awana Kijal. I may not be good at flying kite but running around the beach with you were happy moments. And I knew it's was tiring for you to keep helping me fetch the kite and keeping them away from the water. Let's go kite flying again and let me do the fetching ;) you fly the kite ;)

隐形的翅膀
what attracted me to this song initially was the LYRICs of the song..beautiful lyrics
the nice melody is a BONUS !!!
隐形的翅膀
每一次
都在徘徊孤单中坚强
每一次
就算很受伤
也不闪泪光
我知道
我一直有双隐形的翅膀
带我飞
飞过绝望
不去想
他们拥有美丽的太阳
我看见
每天的夕阳也会有变化
我知道
我一直有双隐形的翅膀
带我飞
给我希望
我终于
看到所有梦想都开花
追逐的年轻
歌声多嘹亮
我终于
翱翔
用心凝望不害怕
哪里会有风
就飞多远吧
隐形的翅膀
让梦恒久比天长
留一个
愿望
让自己想象

Successful
The other day, my colleagues were telling me about the wife of a Vice President of a bank. I was told that the wife is a capable young lady who’s slightly older than me but leading a very successful project in another well known bank.
My initial reaction was “Wah, I really envy these people who are so young and capable. ‘People’ around my age is already a project manager for a massive bank project while I’m still here just a small little prawn”
My senior colleague asked me : But are you happy where you are? Is ‘that’ where you want to be?
These 2 questions she threw me got me thinking hard.
Yah, I’m happy with my job & colleagues, although I’m not earning enough ;p
But is ‘that’ where I want to be?
I don’t think so. Never mind the amount of time, effort and youth sacrificed, the amount of stress and health issues that may follow … but all for the company… I will think twice (many many times actually)
Yah, money doesn’t come easy without efforts or works…this I know clearly but if it’s efforts & work, let it be for ourselves.
At many times in LRT, I see people bringing home loads and loads of work home even when they are going home way past office hours. I must say I’ve great respect for these very good employees and I bet they do earn a lot more. However, I never thought of being like them.
I’m just a simple girl who thinks in life, there are many ways to be successful and climbing to the top of the corporate ladder is just a fraction of it :)

meaningful..
A kindergarten teacher asks her students what love means to each of them.
Little Tim puts up his hand and answered
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you've left him alone all day"
Quote from 'Malaysian Women Weekly Magazine' - Jan 07 issue.
How meaningful :)

Now n then
Now..... I'm grateful that I'm part of a wonderful team. This group of friends gave a whole new meaning to 'collegues' this word.
They are simple & sincere people who happen to work together.
I've been with them less than a year and yet I feel so close to these people.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to join the team :)
ps. this is fern's wedding and the lady in black beside me is my boss ;)
then...... I have a group of younger collegues who taught me 'do first die later' :p
They taught me alot of things and fun which I didn't get to experience during my early days. There were actually more senior collegues who are camera shy :p
I'm sure you've heard of "If you can't beat them, join them".
Since it was an 'all expenses paid' for by branch ... I've got nothing to lose.
In fact, this is the first time in my 20+ years I was ever dressed and made up until I couldn't recognise myself. ps. this photo taking during company's annual dinner :)
Initially.... these are some of my closer collegues when I first joined this organisation. Working with them taught me how to be independent and grow up fast. They made me
realised that each of us have the path that we want to take, it just depend on whether we are willing to give up our comfort zone and change.
ps. it was then at Celest's wedding that I realised I wasn't that 'in' in the department of fashion.
V.I.R - Very Important Resolution
I must have left out something very important in my 2007 resolution that my body starts protesting.
HEALTH is screaming for my attention
It is no coincidence I believe. Things do happen for their reasons.
For the past 2 days, I was having a real bad backache.
I could hardly walk, sit for too long or go to loo. I couldn’t even climb up the examination bed at the doctor’s place. It was that painful.
It really gave me a fright. Anything to do with our back spinal cord is not to be fooled around.
I don’t know what’s happening to me.. why do me need things to happen before I can get myself to really take good care of my health. Why can I just take preventive measures and why can’t I just listen to other people’s advice? Why am I that stubborn?
I’m a darn stubborn & rebellious girl. I’m.
But let this girl know that she’s wrong, so wrong.
Scold her if you want.
Let her regret and change before it’s too late.
Don’t give up on her. Because that’s the very last thing she wants you to do.
Make sure she keeps up with her most important resolutions for many many years to come
That is : take very good care of herself
“ I want to have enough rest & sleep. Eat & drink healthily. Exercise regularly. See doctor when I’m not well. No bathing late at night. Cover blanket when sleeping. Have a good posture & comfortable shoes. No carrying heavy stuff. Don’t overstress myself.
And to this special someone
Thank you for taking care of me, dear.
You are always there for me especially when I need you most.
How could I not love you more.
Sorry for always making you worry.

Resolution 2007
Much had been said about resolutions.
Many theories have been derived from resolutions..
Some say it's good to have resolution..it gives us aims & directions
Some say 'what's the point of having & putting resolution in writing when nothing is done... It will only cause heart break, lower our self-esteem at the end of the day"
Good or bad, it's just how we look at it, really :)
call me 'old fashioned' but I used to write down my resolutions in my 'to do' book.
and I must admit I was so afraid that I may not fulfill my resolutions that I made them very general.
So much so that I was actually cheating myself, making me believe I've at least achieved some of my resolution when
in fact I didn't at all.
And now I feel stupid doing that :p
So this may be a bit late...it's already 15/1/07
however "yao sum mm pa chi" ho ;)
I intend to put my resolutions here
because I need your help & support
to ensure I do not stray too far from what I want
1. Recognise routes - must at least know how to go to TESCOs, CARREFOURs, GIANTs, MYDINs and JUSCOs in Klang Valley *wink**wink* Make it a point to stay awake and focus in car.
2. Spend more time with my family & loved ones - Talk to mum & dad when I'm home at night if they have not slept. Talk to mum even if she can't reply. Talk to dad even though it's already late because I know he always look for opportunities to talk to me and I come home late at times.
3. Be punctual, no procrastination - I only allow myself a buffer of 10-minutes late. Have the courtesy to give the other party a call if I'll be late. Else I should be 10-minutes early. Sorry dear for making you wait for me. In job, business and life, anything that needs to be settled today should be settled by today. I shall prioritise & handle the most challenging job first.
4. Learn cooking - At least 6 dishes for this year.. among which black pepper chicken and pizza is a must (because these are among dear's favourite dishes). Others will be brocolli & mushroom. Asparagus and prawns. Laksa.
5. Save $ - establish a fund for house. Save at least 30% to 40% of my monthly income. Managing my cashflow to ensure just minimal amount is maintain in low interest earning accounts. Have a more active and regular portfolio management. Most importantly, I really really have to stop my impulse buying..buying only what deem essential and with appropriate consideration.
6. Not to take things for granted. To be thankful & grateful with what I have. Not to complain with little little 'bumps' in life because besides those little bumps, my life is a smooth journey.
7. Learn more Chinese. I must at least able to read & comprehend a song when I hear it.
8. Stay strong for mum, dad, my sisters & dear.
9. Keep my room & things organised and tidy. No clutters and old newspapers on the floor. Bag not in use should be put into cupboard. My desk should be clutter free. Bedsheet to be changed once a month.
10. Improve my driving skills especially for parallel parking. Do not avoid parking else I'll never learn. Learn from dear as he's berry good at all types of parking :)

biar ikut resmi padi, makin berisi, makin tunduk
translation : follow the custom of rice plant, it bows lower as it ripen.
just as those who are more knowledgeable, they display greater humility.
just as those who are more knowledgeable, they display greater humility.
The end is only the beginning
Overall, 2006 has been a very good year, a busy one for that matter too :)
Me see myself mature and grow old gracefully ... plus many more strands of white hairs ... which I'm so lazy to dye :p
Looking back ....
1. Fought for what I want ... I dare to ask, seek and do what I want instead of just keeping numb.
2. Be my own boss ... ya I'm still working one too!!
3. Gained higher self-confidence & self-esteem. (I used to be the 'chicken little' that hides)
At least I know I'm capable in my very own ways.
4. It's great to know that I'll someday reap what I sowed.
5. It's good that I realised I have to take good care of myself first before I'm capable of caring for other people.
6. It's comforting to know that my best may not be the best but at least I know I gave my best shot.
7. To know that I have learnt to appreciate what I have and trying not to take things for granted.
8. It's relieving to know living life to fullest is determined by how we look at life and be grateful.
9. I've learnt to love ... to love everyone and myself. Learnt to choose who we want to be.

In My Daughter's Eyes
I remember hearing this song on the way to Bukit Tinggi last year.
It was the first time I heard the song and yet the melody stay in my mind till today.
This song moved me tremendously.
It made me realised how important we children are to our parents.
If you can spare me some time, please take time to read the lyrics of this song.
You will feel what I meant.
In My Daughter's Eyes
By : Martina McBride
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

This Christmas...
This Christmas ...
I wanted it to be a little bit different ... just a little bit will do :)
I've always been on the receiving end and decided that this year has got to be different :)
I have found that bringing joy to others is just as enjoyable as being on the receiving end, much more in fact :)
Christmas is a season for giving & forgiving
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

babyhood
If there's something that could bring back my childhood memories, it has got to be Johnson's Baby Lotion.
I was window shopping yesterday when I instinctively took a bottle of Johnson's Baby Lotion and smell.
At that moment, my mind shifted back to my babyhood
It has been many many years since I last applied this lotion but the smell is so so so familiar.
At that tenth of a second, I see my mum applying the lotion on little me.. and me giggling happily.
Blame it on the marketing strategy if you want but
me really miss those times when we were so protected, so safe, so warm, so cherished, so appreciated.
I really miss those feelings..very very much

Flying KICKS
Paying RM36 for that wrist band
It could be a mistake ... but it turned out otherwise ... glad to say :p
Armed with 'geng fong san' and 'gungho' look
* 'geng fong san' is the chinese dark brown tablet that parents give to frightened kids *
We marched into Genting Outdoor Theme Park with pride
vowing to conquer our FEAR ...
FEAR of Speed
FEAR of Height
FEAR of G Force
FEAR of thinking too much of what we FEAR
Started with 'CYCLONE'
Wanted to shout but no voice came out .. who says shouting needs no practice? :p
Or was it because my dear was beside me laughing? :p
On a scale of 1 (non scary) to 10(extremely scary)
Rating : 6.0
Right after CYCLONE as warm up,
we headed straight to SOLERO SHOTS
Well, the on-n-off rain didn't dampen our 'gungho-ness'
The best part was 'the DROP' ... caught us unaware
I really felt my heart jumped out of my body, diving to see who land faster
our butts was lifted from the seats when descending.
Rating : 8.0
.... actually, me felt a bit of chest pain after SOLERO SHOTS
it feels like something is pressing on my chest.
I dare not tell anyone especially dear,
because if I do, NO more games! :p
COCKSCREW
wasn't as magnificent as it look.
Harvey highlighted that they've done some changes to the ride.
True.. the ride wasn't smooth.
Behind us in line was a couple from India.. A doctor & his wife
but the best part is their about 70+ years old.
Now me ask myself... am I still capable of watching my grandchildren play??
Rating : 5.5
FLYING COASTER
From far it look scary
but hoh... from near, it look scarier :p
some more have to pay RM10 for a taste of this 'forbidden fruit'
When me found out that we can ride 5 times.. of course I didn't want to miss
I shouted .. that's all I can say
It's not as scary as it seem .. that was what dear said
sorry dear, I made you go another 2 more rounds in the cold cold weather.
Rating : 7.5
MERRY-GO-ROUND SWING
This is the killer ride :p
It looks harmless but it can make you dizzy and vomit.
1st round, I was kicking high & low like a monkey
2nd round, closed my eyes, enjoy the cool wind and the feeling of
'flying without wings'
*** Alamak, I'm very sleepy now. Can we continue next round? *****

just when I thought...
just when I thought ....
of sharing wonderful moments of my holidays
throughout this year,
my hard disk went 'kaput'
just when I thought ....
I get paid doing something I like,
I was 'kicked acround' like nobody business
just when I thought ...
I'll be at a slump financially, ( which I'm still at)
something crop up ( although I know how hard I need to work for it)
just when I thought ...
I'm not worthy of love
I've got much more than I ask for
just when I thought ...
Life is an uphill battle (as it indeed is)
Life seem to be kinder to me each day
just when I thought ...
It's unlikely of me doing the 'beauty' regimen thing
It's what I'm doing NOW!!! :p
Isn't it fun when life is full of suprises??

I've got much more than I ask for
just when I thought ...
Life is an uphill battle (as it indeed is)
Life seem to be kinder to me each day
just when I thought ...
It's unlikely of me doing the 'beauty' regimen thing
It's what I'm doing NOW!!! :p
Isn't it fun when life is full of suprises??

Dear Son, Dear Daughter
As you read, you may share what I felt.
I was a daughter who didn't have much patience
who didn't make an effort to understand my parents more
I left them alone when they needed me most...
the latest post at my buddy's blog
http://ncy.blogspot.com
prompted me to share this extract
from a powerpoint slides received from another friend.
dear son, dear daughter
the day when you find that I became very old,
try to be patient with me and try to understand me
If I get dirty by eating, if I have some difficulties in dressing...be patient!
Remember the hours that I spent to teach you any sort of things when you were small
If I repeat the same thing, dozen of times,
do not interrupt me, listen to me
when you were small, you kept asking me to read you the same story,
evening after evening, until you fell asleep. And I made it
If I do not wash myself any more so often under the shower,
do not reprimand and do not tell me that it is a shame
Remember how many excuses I have to give to make you take bath when you were small
By seeing my ignorance toward the new technologies,
please do not laugh at me. instead give me time to understand.
I taught you so many things indeed...to eat well, dress well, behave well and how to confront problems in life.
If I sometimes miss memories or do not follow conversation,
leave me the neccessary time to recollect.
If I do not reach there, do not become a nervous or arrogant person,
because the most imortant thing for me is to be with you
and to be able to speak to you
If I refuse to eat, do not force myself
because I know when I'm hungry or not hungry
When my poor legs will not allow me to move as before,
help me in the same way as I held your hands
to let you learn to make your first steps
And when one day, when I shall say to you that I do not want to live anymore,
that I want to die, do not get angry,
because one day, you'll also understand
that at certain age, we do not really live anymore
we simply survive
One day, you'll understand that in spite of all my errors.
I always wanted what was best for you,
I've prepared you the ground for when you've grown up
You do not have to feel sad, unfortunate and incompetent due to my old age and state,
you have to stay near me, try to understand what I live,
to do your best, as I did at your birth
help me to walk, help me to end my life with patience and love
The only thing I need
is a smile and lots of love from you
I was a daughter who didn't have much patience
who didn't make an effort to understand my parents more

I’m glad I found you
When ‘ah ma’(the grandma at my babysitter’s home)
passed away on my birthday a couple of years back,
I felt very sad and asked GOD
“why have to take away someone so dear to me on my birthday?”
Now me understand why.
Because GOD has been giving me many ‘someone dear’ to me on my birthdays
This birthday I didn’t ask for much
Just for those people I love and care (n those who love n care for me)
to be happy and healthy always :)
And to my parents … I just want to let you know I’m glad I’m your daughter
And to my siblings … T’m glad I’m your sister (although I always nag)
And to my friends … I’m glad to have you all
And dear … I’m glad I found you
just wanted to let you all know that I treasure each & every moment we had and will be having

Interview with God
I strongly encourage you to click on the link and enjoy the presentation.
trust me it's not something too religiously inclined.
trust me that you'll appreciate the presentation as much as I do.
http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/presentation.html
whose life can you touch today?
THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up,
and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”
"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them.
All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing
and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another,
but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?
"God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

fast ways to fast bucks ..
want to know fast way to make fast bucks? :p
wake up early, go queue at some immigration or registration departments, get the first few hundred numbers & offer to sell them at price ranging from rm40 - rm120.
do courseworks for students. If you are really good, you may let students bid for your services. of course the highest bidding amount wins.
I'm sure you've got more to add :p
It's nothing new really.
me got the ideas from newspapers. We may lose out in term of first mover advantage but who cares :p

birthdays
It took me about 1 minutes plus to remember this from
a Hallmark birthday greeting card that cost rm13.79 at SOGO
It says
" don't think of it as another BIRTHDAY "
" It is another year spent MASTERING the intricacies of a REWARDING & DEMANDING life "
fuiyo ... what a consolation :p
dedicated to birthdays boys & girls of May & June :)

simple things in life
have the courage to love who we love ..
i love this pic. got it from some emails
there she goes again ...
it have been sometimes since me last climb up the roof
I did it again last saturday
dad said "there are 2 trees growing beside the tangki (water tank)"
he wanted to cut them before they outgrow the roof.
dad went up
and me followed with the pretense of bringing him the saw and helping him :p
when all I wanted was just to take a look and have some fresh air up there :p
when i start sawing the tree,
dad said "mo sik fan" (never eat rice .. means no energy)
he then took over, so me help to clear leaves and twigs
when it's time to come down,
we had to go down backwards on the ladder.
i told dad "wo ke yi. wo hui xia" ... i can, i know how to go down
but dad hold my left upper arm while i turn to descend the ladder.
it has been sometimes since i felt my dad's love
although me know he cares alot for us all
