6 PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

1. No point using limited life to chase unlimited money
2. No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it
3. Money is not yours until you spend it
4. When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth;when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late
5. How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs
6. No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with

Seems like only yesterday...

"Life is short, break the rules,
forgive sooner, love with true love,
laugh without control and
always keep smiling.

Maybe life is not the party that we were expecting,
but in the mean time, we're here and
we can still dance..."

白人婦女教導孩子何謂黑人 ... 很棒...

這是發生在美國的真實故事。第一次聽到時，深深憾醒沈睡的心.........

在美國，有位白人婦女帶著 6 歲大的兒子出遠門，找來了計程車，司機是位黑人。

這 6 歲的兒子從未見過黑人，心中非常的害怕，就問媽媽：「 這人是不是壞人，為什麼會長得黑嚕嚕 ?」

黑人司機聽了很難過。

此時白人婦女告訴兒子：「這位司機叔叔，不是壞人，他是一個很好的人。」

兒子沈默半晌再問道：「既然他不是壞人，那他是不是做了什麼壞事，所以天父在懲罰他 ?」

黑人聽了淚水在眼眶中打轉，他很想知道這白人婦女怎樣回答 ?

媽媽說：「他是個很好的人，也沒有做壞事。咱們家花園的花，有紅、有白、有黃... 是不是 ?」

「是啊！是啊 !」

「那花的種子是不是都黑色的 ? 」

孩子想了一下，「對啊！都是黑的。」

「黑色的種子，開出色彩鮮美的花朵，讓這世界多采多姿，是不是 ?」

「是啊！」孩子恍然大悟地說： 「那司機叔叔不是壞人嘍！感謝司機叔叔，您讓這世界多采多姿，我要為您祈禱。」

天真的孩子在一旁禱告著，黑人司機的淚水奪眶而下，心想:「 身為黑人被世人瞧不起，今日，這位白人婦女如此溫婉地教導孩子，解除孩子心中對我的恐懼，為我祈禱與祝福。真得好好的謝謝她。」

此時，目的地到了，黑人司機趕緊下車為白人母子開車門，感激的說：「夫人，謝謝您，您的一席話，讓我的人生，充滿光明希望，不再晦暗，夫人，謝謝您 !」

很美麗的女子，是不是 ?

這是發生在美國的真實故事。第一次聽到時，深深憾醒沈睡的心。

不止一次的讚嘆這位美麗的女子那高度智慧的言語，教導孩子不要有分別心的同時，更溫暖了傷痕纍纍的心。

'God' and the unknown 'Me'

This is an excellent conversation between 'God' and the unknown 'Me'. I don't know as to who has been the composer of such an interesting and captivating conversation; but he/she has definitely put in good thoughts crafting the same.

Those who don't believe in God may also find it worth reading once. Enjoy and Think!

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 figure 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 live 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 able, 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 road 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 I am, 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 merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.

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.
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. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

Life is short

Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
kiss passionately, love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

十年前

逃避.不一定躲的過
面對. 不一定最難受
孤單.不一定不快樂
得到. 不一定能長久
失去.不一定不再有
轉身. 不一定是軟弱
看看現在的自己的生活條件，再回想十年後的自己
也許你現在所做的決定可以影響你的一生

The Padas Whitewater Rafting covers 17KM with 09 major rapids and stop for a lunch before continuing rafting journey with spectacular rainforest of Borneo to pull out point.

What an excitement trip!!!! (18/4/09)

FROGS!

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:
No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"

The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....
This one wouldn't give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally want ed to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out.... That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore, ALWAYS be.... POSITIVE!

And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:
God and I can do this!!

sushi, wagamama

My friends invited me to eat sushi during Chinese New Year. It's quite a long time since my last japanese food. 5 of us hanged up to Wagamama restorance, located at Lintas Square. We all ate like a hungry lion, as we were too hungry. I just manage to take some photos. See how many plates we ate? hehehe... and we used the RM50 discount voucher. Fyi, if you total bill is less than RM100, you will get 50% discount. If your bill is more than RM100, eg: RM120, you will get RM50 discount. Hope you can understand this simple explanation from me :)

What a difference a sad event in someoen's life makes

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

BELIEVE

I got this from my friend's email;

Although 'BELIEVE' , but in the middle still 'LIE'

Worth to think of it...

Mt Kinabalu Trip

Again, I climbed the Mt Kinabalu again.
However, this time I just manage to reach 6.8km out of 8.7km due to bad weather, RAINING~~~ and it was so cold.
The temperature showed 8 degree celcius at Laban Rata Quarter, about 6km from Timpohon Gate.
Well, great experience & alot of fun with my friends.
