April 15 How I wish....Few weeks back was talking to Jane on how I wish that we could go back to Korea again n how I missed the times we spent at the coffee house. Everday without fail, few hours after lunch, we will have a coffee break. The coffee house there all are decorated nicely with cozy ambience. Cool weather filled with nice aroma of coffee, relax and chatting while sipping coffee. My mind is just free from all worries and work. It was a very nice feeling that I wished I can just leave my work (during working hours) and find a spot in Penang where I can read and be surrounded by the aroma of cofee. I guess God heard me. During that weekend, I went to KL. Reached early and had to wait for Low at a mamak stall nearby Puduraya Station. Ordered a cup of teh tarik. I was there reading book and weather was just nice cos it was raining. It matches what I wished for. To be away from work, read books and sip tea/ coffee. But the feeling was totally different! I was in the middle of one of the busiest street in KL, it was wet and was breathing in the carbon monoxide from cars passing by and the second-hand smoke!!!!
I guess I have to be very careful in making wishes next time. I need to be clear n precise... hahaha September 27 ...How long do we need to know a person well enough to regard him/her as our friend? This is the question that I'm asking myself these days. Few years back, got to know a girl who i thought is my friend but to realise few days back that I don't actually know her well enough to call her my friend. She came as a very gentle and incontaminated. Someone you think has not been expose to the bad influence of the world. But these are all outer appearance.. I was quick to judge to make that statement above. Slowly after a year of 'friendship', she started acting strangely that I'm not able to understand. Why is she treating me like I'm a stranger to her? Why is she hiding things from me? Then I thought for some apparent reasons, she does not need me as her friend because she has someone special for her already. Few days back only I know that the incontaminated image of hers isn't real. She isn't at all incontaminated. She knows what she is doing and what she wants and what she needs to do in order to achieve them. Her real self is totally different from what and how I know of her. The thought of this really scares me. How can I have a friend when I don't even know her at all. June 12 Short or Long?These days everyone is going short... I mean their hair... so am I
 Went and cut my hair short and now missing my long hair...
August 15 A Chat with GodI received this forward mail from a friend 3 years back. I kept this mail and will read them when I'm down or lost direction. Here's something I would like to share with you all. Enjoy.. ^^
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No. Who is this? God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat. Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something. God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too. Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time. God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it. Me: I understand. But I still can't igure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat. God: 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. Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now? God: Stop analyzing life. Just lives it. Analysis is what makes it complicated. Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy? God: 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. Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty? God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty... God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer? God: 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. Me: You mean to say such experience is useful? God:Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards. Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems? God: 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. Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading... God: 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. Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: 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. Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated? God: 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. Me: What surprises you about people? God: 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. Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer. God: 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. Me: How can I get the best out of life? God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for
the future without fear. Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered. God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO. Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration. God: 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. July 23 Langkawi - July 2007We were all excited going on this trip... cos being friends for 10 years plus, we've never been to any trips before.. Ironic, isn't it. EeLing drove us to Kuala Kedah jetty and she was always on the accelarator.. we reached there within an hour! Though we were early but the early ferry tickets were all sold out... we had to take the 11am ferry.
Reaching Langkawi around 12 something, we went and picked up our rental car and off we go for petrol and lunch. We had our lunch at Barn Thai. The restaurant was in the middle of mangrove swamp, lead by a wooden bridge from the car park. The restaurant was nice but food is just so-so. We went to some beaches; Tanjung Rhu, Pantai Kok. It was a funny sight to see Ann using umbrella strolling along the beach.. hahaha. But she was very proud of it cos it's a gift from her aunt who bought it from Japan and also becos of the 'transaprency' the umbrella become. The umbrella is light pink in colour and when taking pics under the sun, it look almost transparent. Hence, we called it the 'lutsinar' umbrella... hahahaha At night, we went Eagle Square for dinner and the food was nice... yummyyyy Then we bought some drinks back to our room and had a fun drinking game.
The next morning we can hardly wake up. EeLing set alarm on her handphone but it didn't work.. hehe She ended up woke us up at 9:30am. Went down for breakfast and then go back to sleep... hahaha As our ferry ticket back to Kuala Kedah was at 4pm so we went on car ride to Pantai Cenang and had our lunch there. We reached the jetty at 3:50pm... for that 10mins, we had so much to do.... return the rental car, custom clearance (luckily they didn't open our bags to check, else we would have missed our ferry) and run to the ferry.
I had so much fun!!! Ann, May, EeLing, let's have another trip again  |
