Appreciate life...

Disciple ask Master: " Can you elaborate why you said human race is strange?"

Master reply:

" They are overly eager to grow up, rushing themselves prematurely to maturity."

" Then they lament that they have no childhood."

" They give up their health to pursue money."

" Shortly after, they try to use money to regain their health."

" They are constantly worrying about their future, yet fail to appreciate what they are currently blessed with."

" Therefore, they are living neither in their present or future."

" They live life like they will never die, yet when they are about die, they then feel like they have never lived before."

Trees

Take some time to read this story. I thought it is noobcake story but it turn out to be a meaningful one.

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow.. he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by.. the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. ‘Come and play with me’ the tree asked the boy. ‘I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more’ the boy replied. ‘I want toys. I need money to buy them.’ ‘Sorry, but I do not have money.. but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.’ The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.


One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited ‘Come and play with me’ the tree said. ‘I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.’ So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. ‘Come and play with me!’ the tree said. ‘I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?’ said the man. ‘Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.’ So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.


Finally, the man returned after many years. ‘Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you’ the tree said. ‘No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite’ the man replied. ‘No more trunk for you to climb on’ the tree said. ‘I am too old for that now’ the man said. ‘I really cannot give you anything.. the only thing left is my dying roots’ the tree said with tears. ‘I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years’ the man replied. ‘Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, Come, come sit down with me and rest.’ The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears..

--The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad.. When we grow up, we leave them.. only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents. Appreciate all they do for u before it’s too late. Love your parents, no matter where they are.

Setting New Year Resolution For 2012

You know why you should set a new year resolution for yourself?

There are many reasons for it like setting a goal, so you can work towards to. Something that you can look back at what you have done for this year. It can be a kind of motivation.

And there are some things that I found at wikipedia: Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, (a system where small measurable goals are being set; such as, a pound a week, instead of saying "lose weight"), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends

For the year 2012, the top 5 resolutions, as identified by a SlideShare survey are:

• Be financially-savvy
• Read at least one book per month
• Eat properly
• Get enough sleep
• Keep a journal of awesome moments

Woah. All these are exactly what I wanna do for the new year.

So yeah, let's set it now on my own with specific goals:

1. Save 2 bucks per day
2. Sleep at 11pm-12am
3. Read at least one book per month, every free moments. And every Saturday and Sunday morning. For 1 hr
4. Less game time, only 2 hours and less for each day.
5. Keep a journal of awesome moments
6. Bike license
7. Taiwan Trip

Positive positive

NS have to chiong sua, go for officer, cause it helps in your resume.
Remember what kor kor said,
Imagine a swimming pool, it's length is 50m.
At some point of time, you are facing difficulties andYou have swim half of it, which is 25m, and yet if you are giving up, you will have to swim another 25m too.

So might as well just swim finish the another 25m since it is the same.
It is the same as life,


You know the more things you that you know you can do, the motivated you are. The more you will find life is more interesting. The more positive you are. I guess that is how you keep yourself positive. Don't think about bad stuff.

I think sometimes people are negative thinking is because they don't know what they should do, I guess to help them is just telling them what you know, it could be a simple stuff to do, but when you are thinking negatively, you actually forgotten the most simplest stuff that you should do.

So Wenda, JUST CHIONG SUA FOR THIS NS!

Yeah man.

I also remembered clearly that my brother want me to take PHANTOM, can you imagine? He usually don't want me to do this kind of stuff one, cause what I know bike is dangerous and he don't want me to get a bike. But now, he want me to get a bike. Phantom, omg I love it, because I like harley davidson style.

Now I have to keep my mind always clear, things are always not finalized.

I do have to keep up my physical. I need to always keep myself fit. It is not a period thing. It is a always thing.


One more thing, Korkor actually tell me that, having a car is like having legs. It is important to have license.

Reality?

Motivation

Attitude

Attitude to life is important. Having a good attitude will bring you far in life...

I feel that some of the things fall under attitude, that's why I wanna share this with you all.

1. Learn from mistakes.

2. Plan your path

3. Listen to people

I gonna be like this in future

During my Ns days, I have to read and read to keep my brain working and don't let it rot. Must keep my mind think creative and i can continue to study for uni.

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.


SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'


MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.


SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'


MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.


SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make $20 an hour.'


SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.


SON: "Mummy, may I please borrow $5?"


The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'


The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door...


The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?


After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn't ask for money very often.The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'
Are you asleep, son?' She asked.


'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'
I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $5 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.


The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.


'Mummy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'


The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.


It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love ♥

Another inspiring story

One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip. Wanted to show him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family. On the way home, dad asked, "Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?".

Son said, "We have one dog, they have four, we have pool, they have rivers, we have lanterns at night, they have stars, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have encyclopedias, they have Bible." Then they headed, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.."

【 MORAL LESSON: 】It's not about money that make us rich, it's about simplicity of having God in our lives. ❤

A CHAT WITH JESUS CHRIST...

Jesus: Hello. Did you call me?

Man: Called you? No.... Who is this?

Jesus: This is Jesus. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

Jesus: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.

Jesus: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

Jesus: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

Jesus: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?

Jesus: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

Jesus: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

Jesus: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

Jesus: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?

Jesus: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?

Jesus: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.

Jesus: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

Jesus: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

Jesus: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Man: What surprises you about people?

Jesus: When they suffer they ask, “Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.

Jesus: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Man: How can I get the best out of life?

Jesus: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

Jesus: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration.

Jesus: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Man: Thank you so much.

Jesus: You are always welcome. Have a good day my friend. "Always remember, God's Word is the Word for YOU ."

Himss Conference 2011

Me at Himss Conference Melbourne.

Handsome anot? :D

This is sex. I wanna get this new obsession. I find it really cool and recently I fall in love in this kind of shades...

I always wanna get this man.

HAHAHA I am back to blogging!

First thing that I really want to say is that I have read through my past posts. I find it kinda embarrassing and want to delete them. But I think that I shouldn't, cause they are my past, all I can do is to just laugh it off and move on.

I been really very isolated to the world, but I keep having this thoughts behind my head that I had to do well again, I cannot be so slack and so anti-social. I have learnt that if I want to my current life to change, I have to change myself, because it is my actions that causing the things around me.

I learn to be more encouraging, this is one of the good point I have in the past, however, I stopped it because there was once my gf prefer to be comforting than encouraging. You know when you love somebody so much, you would do what they likes. Yeah that's what I did.

I not saying my gf is the cause of this, it is me who is the cause. I chose to be like this. I chose to walk this way.

I have learnt that I cannot be like a girl, I cannot stay my life open only to gf. Open to one person only is not good, it only made yourself more anti-social and more reliant on your gf.

My dear gf, if you are reading this, once again I am not making you are wrong. Listen to me first, I am sharing my experience and learning during this journey. It is not good to close all the doors and open to one person only, I know you don't want me to do this and this is not your intention, but because I am too extreme already, when I know I cannot talk to girls, I just close all the doors. I don't do initiative in chatting, even with guys. I also don't want you to be like me, that's why I need to give you freedom to talking to people.

As always I need to be holistic, I need to step back and look the picture. I need to give constructive feedbacks. Positive comments. Understanding words. Be mature.

I was thinking, the man who have been silence for so many days, have the most words to say.

Yes it is going to be a new semester. The last semester in my rp life. I am going to move on to next stage soon le, National Service. Yeah man, I gonna miss rp life. So much freedom, you can do whatever you like, not really that stress.

Always do with a good reason in your heart.

I realized that if you focus on the virtue that you want, you have it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05VLY8XvZmk&NR=1

This parents is more of respecting to people. That's why they are very polite people.

I have to know what I want to be. I need to write them down, so I know clearly what I really want.

Yeah, this sound stupid, I already what age le still figuring out myself. But it is always never too late.

-Polite

-Trust (Giving people for them to trust you)

-Be nice (Believe in everybody have a kind heart, it is just a matter of time they show you. Be nice to everybody, they will naturally show you their kind heart)

-Be sincere (Mean your words)

-Be concern (Knowing your gf life, what she is facing in school, is she doing good. If she is facing problems in school, encourage her in her next day, telling her that what she can do. If she is doing good in school, be proud of it. This applies to my mum too, ask her how is her business. My brother too.)
