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  July 19 Short SightedThings you borrowed from friends... what will it usually be? For me, are normal stuff like clothes, pants, toothbrush or ... But recently, I've come to an extend that I borrowed specs from my friend.. hehe.. I was not prepared to stay overnight at her house.. Taking out my contact lenses turns my world into a very blur sight... To help things up, I ended up wearing her glasses while she was without one... Though I wore hers and yet it don't seems to help much cos her power for both eyes are low compare to mine. I'll still have to go near the things that I want to see.. looking like an old granny... hahaha Thanks Jane!! April 11 Weekend.. fully occupied :PExhausted, ache but fun is all that I feel on Monday after a fully occupied weekend I had. It was a spontaneous plan to go to Taiping with Jane. When we reached there on Saturday morning, we do not have any plan of where to go or what to do. We gave Shu Huey a call and up we go to the ticket counter of Maxwell Hill. We were lucky that we manage to get tickets as it was usually fully-booked during weekends. The journey up was very 'exciting'... the driver of the jeep was stepping hard on the accelerator making us feel like we were on a roller-coaster ride. Reaching up the hill, the happiest moment was that we get to see tulips. The tulips at Maxwell Hill usually blooms during Chinese New Year. It was already April and there are still tulips around!!
 We took plenty of photos and when I reached home... I was so tired but was very happy.My weekend doesn't stop there. It continues on the next day... paintball at War Museum. During the first game, I was so excited that I kept moving forward to attack the opposition team... but was spotted by Choo Pooi's bf. When bumped into him face to face, I was blank and do not know what I should do; return to my hiding spot, shoot him or run away... Within that seconds, I got shot by the leg and fell down when trying to run
 ... wound on my knee and 2 big bruises - memory for paintball activities... hahaha.. We ended the game with my team losing because Choo Pooi's team was at the benefit of having 5 ppl while we have only 4... hehehe On Monday, I can hardly walk.. cos of the wound and muscle pain..
