Small Things, Great Love

This is a very nice one ..
"We can do no great things - only small things with great love." Mother Teresa (1910 - 1997)

My Life Angel

My Life Angel - A Very Real Angel Who's Just The Nicest Person Anyone Could Meet .. Filled With All The Best Things In Life With The Best Of Hearts - Truly Happiness Within That Spreads To Others Without Any Conditions

That's my life Angel ------ though we are miles apart now, hearts apart too but to know you have a life Angel who is so pure, kind and real - makes you wonder, heaven does exist .. and I treasure you with the deepest of my soul, now and more in the future. Thank you for all the good you have given others so unconditionally.

My Big Angel

My Big, One and Only Brother - My Childhood Angel - Ever Kindest Person Who Simply Owns Happiness From Within

Yeah, that's my big brother. We don't see or talk much to each other but he is definitely very dear to me, and I'll always be there for him no matter what. Always praying he is doing well and happy and hopefully he gets enough help, sleep and rest! Many things I don't understand - esp. the silence but I have always known you and I know you only mean good to those around you, taking good care of your little family - which you deserve a big big STAR! Take good care bro!

You're Beautiful

Another one of my fav. fav. song...

James Blunt - You´re Beautiful
My life is brilliant. My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that,'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place and I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye, as we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was .. And I don't think that I'll see her again,But we shared a moment that will last 'till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place,And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.La la la la la la la la laYou're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face,When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you.

Look What You've Done

I like this song somehow... bought it through iTunes, can't wait to have it in my iPod.

By JET - Look What You've Done
Take my photo off the wallIf it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to prove
Oh, look what you’ve doneYou’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such funUntil you lose what you had won
Give me back my point of view
‘Cause I just can’t think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
‘Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Good Habit - Read Papers

I am starting the habit of reading papers everyday now. Something I never usually would do! But I am loving it ... it's good to have dicipline and be more 'well-informed' of what's happening! So yeah, made it a point to subscribe and home-delivered! Cutting out relevant articles and feeling like, I am growing - learning things, rather than the stagnant-ed feeling!

Power of Our Influence

Let's try to remember and be aware.. we have the power to influence (often sometimes have authority over) another person .. esp those close to us, our loved ones - our spouse, children and parents. So what must we do then? Even if we do not influence them to do the right thing, be aware not to let yourself influence them to do the wrong thing. Usually, we dont think about this, but everyday without fail - if we do not think about this, we are making mistakes day in day out, influencing our loved ones in a negative way simply because we never knew how to influence them in a positive way. One must also be cautious not to be 'influenced' by our loved ones in a negative way .. and often we think we are pleasing them, but humans just like you and me, are full of flaws - which we often do not realize. It would be wise to look up upon a higher authority, one that if filled with mercy and goodness as the source of our guiding life, than to look at our other half (or friends and families) as role models.

Happy For You

Its so enlightening.. and its really true.. seek and you shall find answers. Ask and you shall receive ... I truly believe in that. In anycase, I feel so much at peace these days. This morning, before leaving the house, I was drying my hair and then suddenly thought of WG. I concluded (in a short period of time), no matter what's going on with his life and his mind, I am very happy for him for he has a family. I now choose to want to say "blessings for him, over him and over his family" rather than trying to understand why things didn't work out well for the overall broken family relationship issues with MM and DD so forth. I've DECIDED, this is only gonnna get better and better =) So nevermind all the things he 'didn't do', or 'couldn have done' for MM & DD and hey sometimes call me up? Ha, so nevermind all that .. I would just pray for his happiness!

Receiving All Goodness

For the last couple of days/weks or so .. been getting this strange but not so strange - continous happy feeling. It's like, I am really expecting it, expecting to be happy, and there I am, being happy! Kinda overwhelming but I would embrace it! Everything seems to be happening - coming in place for a good course and I am seeing all the good things - nice people and nice acts by others.. I suspect surely there are alot of not so nice pple or not so nice things happening around but its a little strange, but what I see all seems so good. Yet I am not going to doubt it, but just receive all the goodness with open arms! I feel something is happening within and its all for the better. I trust that this can only be better and better .. and I attribute this success to my dear JO! Its unimaginable that one could help another though so many miles apart across the Pacific ocean pass the deep deep Marianas Trench ....

Happy Mothers Day

What a lovely day. Oooops not yet call MM, so I better do it right after this! Didn't get her anything this year but sent her a card.... she got it on time. We didn't plan anything special this time, sort of like just go-along the flow .. surprisingly had a gooooood massage from both DD & ANA! They were sooo good, hehe - oil btw! Had dim sum lunch @ DDF, met everyone else there, what a popular place! Got home, took the usual nap, did some work - house still clean so no need to clean so much :P Didn't plan for dinner either but last minute JL and I chat about HK TV series and such, one thing led to another, we had JL and STP over for dinner! They brought a lovely yummy cake and we had a very good time together -- precious times with family and friends, no money can buy for sure!

Laters in the night: Called MM & DD and ANA did a great job, sang many songs for Poh-poh! She must be real happy! She even sang very very loud - as though 'bo gam guan' (hokkien) hehe.. but, overall yeah MM is definitely happy to her from us and LG wished her too and chat with both MM and DD. I am so happy! Too bad, I think WG didn't organize anything for MM and so far no call too, last mth also never wished her or take her out on her bday .. poor Mama .. but I will help in other ways to see how to make her feel better although I know, it will never be the same! --- On the other side, we kept dialing for MIL... hey why phone engaged for so long! :P

Msg to everyone out there, including myself: Don't forget to wish you OWN Mom and your MIL ... for they have done so much and sacrificed so much, esp if you're a Mom or Dad yourself, you should know how precious they are, and if it wasnt for your Mom you wouldn't be where you are today and if it wasn't for your MIL, you wouldnt be able to find so much happiness with your other half now who took care of him/her with tender loving care! Show them you love today! Do you really think there's such thing as 'Oops I didn't know.., oops I was too busy'.. Its the thought that counts and if the thought isnt there, it isnt there. But you can always rectify thing if you have the heart. You can always say sorry, ask for forgiveness and make it up to her, but if you can even celebrate with other mothers and forget your own Mom and MIL, its really time to reflect on yourself. Even if you dont want to take them out, buy them something, at least - give her a call, for goodness sake!!! Phew! -- I hope that would help some 'busy, and stressed out people' out there who's very busy with their own life. Too bad I dont know how else to say it any nicer or better ... May sounds abit harsh but even if I was 'clouded' I wish someone would knock some senses in me! I also happen to notice that if we stick around with considerate and thoughtful people, after a while we too will be considerate and thoughtful - maybe that'll help! Thought its best we try to remind ourselves and beat all the negative influence around us hehe..

Remembering Quality Life

Dropped by at JC's place this afternoon to drop off some gifts and had some nice chats. Overall, came to a conclusion that no matter how good things would go, we should never forget our original goals and intention about doing the home-based thing - more quality of time and basically, happiness. I totally agree and this must serve as a reminder to me that eventhough I may get very busy soon (whether I am doing well or not, ha!) I should remember to spend time with family and loved ones :)

Love Is A Decision

It occur to me that "love is a decision" is such a powerful sentence. Just 4 words.. but since thinking about it, and applying it real life.. I am beginning to feel it a very powerful source of happiness. Used to always think (in my sub-conscious mind) love is a feeling with all the associated feelings .. but when love is a decision, it is a commitment. When we make that commitment, everything else seems easy - well at least for me! I felt like a big burden lifted off me.. perhaps bags of confusion. As I extend my thoughts, that if love is a decision, if I decide to love God, decide to love my family and relatives, friends and anyone for that matter .. then I would do this and that .... all the good things for them, to them and with them. It all starts from there! Scary thing is, I realize many of us in this world are stuck in this confusion-bag because we never dare to make that decision in the first place. But all in all, I am happy to have found a way ...

Counting Blessings

On the way out to GPO - no garlic .. somehow, it occurred to me thinking, life is good! Truly feel very blessed to have a nice home and everything else is in order (this week our place is extremely clean and pretty!) - and everything is in control. Starting to fall sick again this afternoon, maybe coz of the early morning conf. call, so I slept all afternoon! ~ Still, thinking, how nice and good life is, without much traffic at all! --- Counting more and more the blessings, its a good way to go through the day! Looking forward to make dinner noodles tonight with those yummy minced meat - just like noodles store back home!

Thanks For The Favor

Things are definitely firing up! Looks like things are looking better and better, but I am all prepared for it. Thanks for The Favor..... Meeting all the nicest people - infact as I said before, I dont think there's anyone really not that nice here on island .... I feel they are all around - sometimes I wonder if I am in Happy-Land or something.. This week is an important one too, with the finances to be in place and on our way to our dreams - somewhat dreams.. for a better life! :)

New Sleep Schedule

Perhaps its time I consider working on CST time zone - its really not too bad come to think of it. To catch up with the normal office hours 9-5pm, I should start work 11pm/12 midnight through 7am in the morning - then I could have breakfast, get ANA ready, send her to school. Come home by 9am, wash up and get to bed! Get 8-hour sleep - wake up at 5pm, prepare dinner, watch some news, pick-up ANA, wash her up, do all the dinner-thingy and settle down by about 9pm. Between 9-11pm I may have some free time - obviously I cant go play tennis but its OK! I think I'll give this a try so as to prepare myself for May 15 pre-training. Must have a must-do attitude!

Second thoughts, 05/06: Let's just wait for training to start next week, I need my beauty sleep!!!

Splendid May!

What a brilliant morning! Though been sick and runnning a fever yest, but I managed to get some rest, get up early, take a morning shower and get things ready in time, no rush rush. I still am going to make May a splendid one! ;)

Monster You Starve !!!

Ive managed to give May a good start. Infact, very happy yesterday and today. But later in the day, I was invited to feed the monster inside.......... selfish people who only thinks about themselves ( I dont blame or condemn them, even me, I am human too, sometimes I dont realize it if I was selfish too).. the world circle around themselves, if they didn't like something, other people cannot enjoy it too .. but at the cross-junction, do I let this attitude create the beast in me.. or do I let the monster starve? Starve yes!!!!!! Though I didn't get things my way - I tell myself, there will always be a next time, I will have the patience and next time I know better how to deal with situations. Most important, we improve to be better and better in dealing with the situation rather than let the little monster inside us be our representative! Still, I do like people who are not-so-nice, I stil think they are very precious people, coz erm.. well, usually not that many around us... so, its good for growth! But I notice one thing though ... people on island are generally very nice and warm... I can't even think of anyone not-so-nice here on this island ... maybe coz its an island :)
