If I could stop something

If I could stop something

I would not stop the time

I would say,

"Stop asking"

"Stop asking why did I lost much weight"

"Stop asking about her"

"Stop asking about him"

"Stop asking about me"

"Stop asking about this"

"Stop asking about that"

"Stop asking me questions"

"Stop asking altogether"

Reunion Dinner

Last Sunday, February the 11th, I had our reunion dinner with my extended family (all first, second, and third degree relatives) of paternal side. As usual our family dinner is held at the Damansara Palace Restaurant. Since my cousins have gradually expanded our Lim's family, some will 'sub' and have their own reunion dinner on CNY eve. So prior to CNY, there we are gathering and feasting together.

Took a few snapshots during the dinner:

my 'sort-of-nephews' (i think)

Actually, they are my grandfather's brother's wife's sister's grandchildren, so what do I call them? ...and yeah, the one in red is one of his twin brothers.

my mother and I

One of the twins took this picture for us, after me teaching them. Lovely isn't it :)

fried rice, the 2nd last dish (before dessert)

One of the twins, who sat beside me, forced me to take this picture. How? He kinda like threatened me and refused to eat unless I snap a picture of his bowl of fried rice and show it to him.

Didn't take much picture and that's about it, our 'dog/pig' year family reunion dinner.

Hair loss- reasons & cure?

Quite a considerable amount of people are turning bald or experience 'hair thinning'. Alopecia is not really a favourable condition one would want to experience, especially at a young age or a not-so-old age. Who are prone to have this problem? Why does these people loose hair?

I came up with my own hypothetical 10 reasons:

1. If you have (more) testosterone. I noticed it is more common in men. It seems that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a chemical produced by the male hormone testosterone is a cause to this problem.

Experts believe men with high levels of testosterone are more likely to lose their hair, especially if baldness already runs in the family.

2. If you have a stressful, easily frustrated job. eg.having 'writer's block' when reaching dateline to hand in the article. 'Hair-grabbing' action may occur.

3. When you read/ study a lot. Hands may feel too 'free' when reading. Perhaps then, fingers will run to the scalp, scratch, doing 'pick and pluck' actions or maybe run down a feel strands of hair and twist them up, or maybe start pulling hairs.

4. It is in your genes.

5. When you load too much of chemicals on your scalp/ hair.

6. When you 'over-treated' your hair. eg. hair rebonding, or maybe some 'hair growing' treatment, etc

7. When you are on some drug/ treatment that may give this side effect. eg. chemotherapy

8. Or maybe you have suddenly withdraw from drug like minoxidil

9. When you have some diseases that can give rise to alopecia. eg. vitiligo, lupus

10. When you have not been drinking 60 cups of coffee a day. (haha) Read on to find out why..

Coffee could hold the cure for baldness

(Daily Mail)


The new study, published in the International Journal of Dermatology, found that caffeine works by blocking the effects of a chemical known to damage hair follicles.

But drinking plenty of coffee may not be the best answer.

Scientists estimate up to 60 cups a day would be needed for significant amounts to reach follicles in the scalp.

Instead, German cosmetics firm Alpecin has developed a caffeine-rich solution that can be rubbed on the scalp.

Trip to National Zoological Park

Last Sunday (week before), after the church service we went to the National Zoological Park, or the Zoo. It was few years back when I last been to this zoo. There sure is quite some changes like:

• The KFC in the zoo is no longer operating. It used to be so packed with (zoo) visitors.
• Some of the animals have sponsor(s). e.g. the 'harimau' (tiger) has Maybank as their sponsor.
• there are less Zebras (comparitively)
• there are even lesser penguins. You'll only get to see a few pity little penguins in the aquarium like tank
• there is a new baby hippo

My trips to the zoo are usually by 'rombongan sekolah' (school trip). Schools like to organize zoo trips, don't they. hehe.

wisdom teeth?

My lower right 3rd molar started growing last month. It was uncomfortable. It is still ok because back then I still have the left side to chew and grind my food. Now, my lower left 3rd molar is growing. Because of the thinning of the gum due stretching, ulceration happens more frequently when one's wisdom tooth starts sprouting out. And lucky me, I have ulcerations on my gum (left side). It is freaking painful. I can't even open my mouth too wide like when i'm yawning. Especially yesterday, the pain got pretty bad. I paid a visit to the dentist today since the ulcers and pain has been there for more than a week and it is not improving. If you ask me, am I feeling any wiser now? No. But i do feel more uncomfortable. I wonder why are the third molars called wisdom teeth? I don't see any good these teeth are bringing me.

They are generally thought to be called wisdom teeth because they appear so late—much later than the other teeth, at an age where people are supposedly wiser than as a child, when the other teeth erupt. The English wisdom tooth is derived from Latin dens sapientiae. Dutch also share the same root, verstandskies. There exists an interesting Dutch folk etymology that the Dutch word verstandskies is derived from "far-standing molar", and that mistranslations of the Dutch word (in which verstand translates to wisdom) are the root for corresponding words in other European languages.

ref. source: Wikipedia

Alrite, so that is why it happens to be called wisdom teeth. I am still finding it hard to agree. I can hardly consume hard edible stuffs now. There are two ulcerations found on my gum (left side). One of the crater is almost reaching 1cm big!!! Imagine a 1cm ulcer along your gum and another one near where the new molar is trying to poke its head out. It is pain + uncomfortness + troublesome. I see no wisdom in it. Calling them stupid teeth somehow seems more appropriate.

I have a new roomate

Being in the hostel for 2 years, I now have my third roomate. My third roomate is a friendly, young, pretty girl from Chongqing(重庆), China. The moment I open my door when I got back to the hostel yesterday, she was there sitting on her bed. We stare at each other under the awkward icy silence for a microsecond. The ice was however quickly broken. I did not manage to do anything yesterday because she was practically talking to me almost every second since I step into the room, arranging my stuffs, books, till I cover myself in the blanket and finally sleep. We talked, and talked, and talked vast variety of topics yesterday. I guess she hasn't been talking much to anyone these few days (she arrived last Fri). haha. Although i was feeling rather tired but she was so enthusiastically talking and sharing yesterday and we ended up sleeping around 2 something in the morning. She is cute and interesting though. Well, that is my new roomate, Takki =)

Peter Pan treatment

Is 'Peter Pan' treatment right?

Jan. 5: A severely disabled girl in Seattle suffering from a rare brain condition known as static encephalopathy can't walk, talk or eat. So the parents of the 9-year-old have decided to keep her small.

Following a request from her parents, doctors there surgically removed her uterus and newly-forming breasts and began treating her with high doses of estrogen to ensure that Ashley would forever remain a child. Why would Ashley’s parents and doctors decide to have their daughter, like Peter Pan, never grow up? And why would doctors agree to use their surgical skills and drugs to stunt a child’s normal development?


The doctors said:
If she remains small then her parents can move her easily from place to place. By remaining small she can interact more with the rest of the family who can take her around the home and to outside events. She won’t have to deal with monthly periods. She may have a lower risk of getting raped and pregnant. She will not have breasts that might make it uncomfortable for her to lie in one place for long periods of time.


Ashley's parents said:
By keeping Ashley small, they can bathe her, move her about in a stroller and help her avoid developing bed sores. With no breasts she may be a less tempting target for any future male caregivers. And she obviously will not face the risk of breast cancer. The key point the parents make is that they decided to keep their child permanently as a child for her own good.


Bioethicist, Arthur Caplan said:
I believe it is true that it is easier to move Ashley about if she is the size of a 6-year-old. But I also believe that a decent society should be able to provide appropriately sized wheelchairs and bathtubs and home-health assistance to families like this one. Keeping Ashley small is a pharmacological solution for a social failure — the fact that American society does not do what it should to help severely disabled children and their families.

The problems Ashley and her parents face are terribly real. But permanently freezing a person into childhood is not the solution. Families like Ashley’s need more help, more resources, more breaks from the relentless pressure of providing care and some hope that their daughter can be somewhere safe and caring after they are gone.

America has not yet made that promise to Ashley or her parents or the many other parents and kids that face severely disabling mental illness and impairment. We should.



Who is right? Who is wrong? Everyone has their own say, their own points. It is always difficult to judge on ethical issues and especially when it is concerning one's health; one's life. Ethics to me is always an endless debate. "Peter Pan treatment", it is the first time I am hearing this. The more advanced we are, the more alternatives and discoveries we make. How are people accepting the "new"? It depends. It is all subjective and debatable. How far am I accepting this? It is new to me and I'm neither accepting nor rejecting. I've just saw another part of the 'world' and still digesting.

Pangkor I come~!!

In a few hours time I will be in Pangkor Island. Yippee~~!!

I'll only be back in KL next year.

So, till then Happy New Year to all!!! =)

Christmas Candy Cane

Yesterday we had a steamboat cum CG at Pe Shen's place. The food seems little initially so, the host went and dumped like 5 packets of noodles in. Finally, again...there's food overflow. Anyway, it was a good gathering yesterday evening. The ten of us sang, ate, laughed, shared, listened, and prayed together. It was nice. And our birthday boy, bro Ralph even gave us a candy cane each and shared with us the story behind the Christmas candy cane :



A candymaker wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ.

He began with a stick of pure white hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and the firmness of the promises of God.

The candymaker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.

Unfortunately, the candy became known as Candy Cane-a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear."

'07 overseas mission?

I was telling parents about the electives next year. They happily suggested that I go to travel and work somewhere; self-support it means. On the other hand, it would really be fun to take a glimpse of the outside world. Explore, see and experience I shall go. *hooray* :D

No exact plan, no exact destination, and most importantly no exact financial source to start with. I'll have to do some research on this before i can move on with this idea. Any suggestions, ideas, resources, contacts, links...etc please do share it with me. Feel free drop me a mail, message or some comments. I need them if I were to make this mission possible. Thx! =)

4th anorexia death

Brazil transfixed by 4th anorexia death
By PETER MUELLO
AP

"The most recent victim was Beatriz Cristina Ferraz Lopes Bastos, a
23-year-old teacher whose death Sunday at a hospital in Jau, 200 miles northeast of Sao Paulo, was reported by national television news programs.
Local media reports said she was 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed just 77 pounds."

"Anorexia became big news in Brazil last month with the death of 21-year-old
Ana Carolina Reston, a successful model who died of generalized infection caused by anorexia nervosa. She reportedly carried just 88 pounds on her 5-foot-8 frame."

"college student Carla Sobrado Casalle, 21, died in the southeastern city of Araraquara, also with symptoms linked to anorexia. She was just under 5-foot-9 and weighed 99 pounds. "

Whoa..honestly it is scary to be that thin; not pretty.

OK, I may be thin..but not that thin and I am not anorexic. And as i've mentioned before, I am honestly trying to gain healthy weight. As what the creative director of Sao Paulo Fashion Week, Paulo Borges said, "Beauty and fashion is about health in the first place."

So, girls...EAT =)

chasing time & counting down

It is already the 28th of Dec 2006. I am so not ready for the new year. Year 2007; that is when my one week holiday spells an end. I seriously need to start using my small, pathetic brain and study through and revise, revise and revise because my 2nd Proffessional Exam is haunting us soon in year 2007! Year 2007 also means I am leaving for K.Terengganu year! Year 2007 is when everybody turns another year 'more mature', including me :(

I have so so so much to be done and I've constantly felt that i'm chasing time; I meant almost all the time. If your (I don't recall having one) '06 resolution list(s) is/(are) not all checked, then I shall gladly announce that the dateline is nearer than just around the corner. geez..I am so not ready for you, 2007.

hmmph,lets see..Jeb is leaving on the 10th Jan to Aus; I need to meet up with her. The Nz ppl are leaving soon as well and I have not really met up with any of them yet; I need to meet up with them too. My CNS is still not consolidated in any part of my brain yet; I need to study and brush up. My place is a mess; I need to clean up. I felt so far back,there is much that need to be done. I am constantly trying to chase the time. Will I be able to?

Maybe there is a bright side for me to look at. 2007 can't be that 'un-inviting' afterall. There is lots to expect too i suppose. ermm..maybe like getting a touch of dissecting the cadaver? (hopefully) Well, perhaps I should start counting down for the arrival of 2007... "three!"...

New Diseases In Malaysia

By Palmdoc

The Malaysian Ministry of Health is now asking the public to be on the lookout for symptoms of the following new contagious diseases.


ASSMA
Severe rashes around the mouth caused by kissing too much ass. The number-one disease in Malaysia amongst civil servants.


DIALARRHOEA
Uncontrollable urge to continually dial friends on mobile phone to share with them such important information as “I’m now on the monorail”or “I’m walking towards the car.” Victims can be recognized by large, twitching thumb.


MEESLES
Blotchy skin condition caused by eating too many packets of instant noodles.


MULTIPLE SPOUSOSIS
Affliction whereby victims make frequent trips to Vietnam,Thailand,Indonesia, and China to take on additional brides.Middle-aged men are at significant risk.


YELLOW FEVER
Compulsion to date Asian females. Very common affliction amongst foreign celebrities and caucasian expatriates working in Malaysia. Also known as Pinkerton’s Disease.


EKOR-TOTONUS
Flushed complexion, high blood pressure and sometimes depression at finding out one has not won any gaming numbers and lotteries.


HEAVYTITIS
Excessively large breasts. This disease comes in several variant strains…….. Heavytitis A; Heavytitis B; Heavytitis C, and sometimes Heavytitis DD.


CYBERTENSION
Feelings of stress and panic caused by lack of internet access.


DYEBETES
A compulsive need to colour one’s hair. Reddish brown tints are the most common symptom, but health authorities have reported a new strain of blond highlights.


CHICKEN TOX
Victims exhibit a great need to tokkok. Highly contagious. Spread by ordinary conversation, and may be exacerbated by good food and alcohol. Politicians and lawyers are especially susceptible. Incurable.

Dear Patrick,

Dear Patrick,

I needed a hug tonight. Thanks for being here. The room was awkwardly quite earlier on and I have to replay Grey's Anatomy disc1 as a compensatory sound to fill the atmosphere. I have a lot to study; a lot to stuff into my pea brain. On the other hand I need to arrange for tomorrow night's gathering which I dreadfully reply all the incoming texts. The stressful point came. I am very worried. I really needed company, someone to turn to. I turned around and I saw you. Thanks for being there.

Oh, Patrick... do you know that he is sick, and she is sick? It's sad, Patrick. I'm sad. I wish I could go and comfort. I wish I could go and relieve. I wish I could go and make company. But, I can't and I did nothing. I felt sorry and it is sad to just do nothing.

Patrick, I was quite delighted when it is not April that I have to leave. Eventhough I sighed for the time delay, my heart still leaps for joy cause I can't wait to tell you that I can travel to Sri Lanka, India,... I am happy as you can hear because of this news, which I presumed is good in a way. However, 'you' did not seem to show any signs of joy. In fact, I sensed another dose of worry emerged.

Reflecting...and thinking,.. why did I find that I've not really make you happy, as if you never were. You are worrisome, you are lonely, you felt sad...

Patrick, thanks for being here. At this moment I really need to hug you tightly and pour it all out. For now, I could only turn to you. Thank you, Patrick softie.

pain, pain...

I learnt something and my quote for today:

Even if you are in pain, life still and has to go on; and that's pain.

I am not feeling well. I am in pain. It paralyzes me pretty much; so much so that i have to put a halt in everything. The frust is similar to when you are given tonnes of things to photocopy, which is due very soon. The manpower available? You and 2 photocopying machines. And as if it is purposefully coincident enough, one of the photocopying machine breaks down for some reason and the other one keeps coming up with an error- paper jam. The boss will still come anyhow and expect to collect the products when the time comes and who exactly care for your sick machines and other constraints? None. (well, besides God of coz)

Likewise, I am in pain. So what if the pain makes me handicap and put me into a paralyzing halt? Who cares. Life goes on; time still fly. And I have to somehow get myself prepared for this coming Friday's clinical assessment- theory, PBL presentation a.k.a horrifying Q n A session with our respectful prof, and also the weekly joy-our friday assessment. yay?

argh... that's pain~~

=(

Whatever

By saying "whatever", it means you couldn't care less. It consequently flags that you are entering the IDC mode ( "I Don't Care" mode). If one spits out, "Well, fine.. whatever" , it is fine because the connecting relation is growing into dark ignorance. "Whatever" trumpets out voices of frustration as the whisper of giving up creepily sips into the bone. Also, it blares loudly a three-words-phrase, "As you like". It is disastrously poisonous. When thrown at you, it truly pierces you through madly,..and deeply. At the end? It shatters.

So, beware. Coz a word it is but when uttered the story that follows is unammaginable.

ugh..whatever.. Good night~~

i am sexy

Saturday 02 Dec 2006

ГΘЯÐ СЯØИU§ says:
Jolyn is sexy

;)

take me for who i am; love me as who i am..

As we seek for a partner in life up and down, east and west, north and south, we look for the good qualities in him or her. If someone is beautiful, kind, lovely, patient, gentle, caring, sexy, etc etc.. that certainly makes her a likeable person, likewise if a 'he' is smart, caring, stable, wise, romantic, etc etc.. it is then also a norm to like that person. Of course, we still have to take into consideration that love is not merely of a mathematical logic. There is still the "feel" in us. Anyway,putting that aside, do we love someone simply just because they are good enough?


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

~ 1 Cor 13: 6-7 ~

Loving someone for the good, positive qualities is acceptable. But loving someone despite the things that he or she lacks; loving someone also for the negative qualities embedded in him or her; loving a person despite all the reasons that makes him or her imperfect... away from own personal ideal picture of 'him' or 'her' ; that is the magnificient of love, that is how sweet love can be.

... take me for who I am; love me as who I am.

I know of one who love me as whole despite how and who I am; and He is God, He is Christ.

And, I still ask, "please... take me for who I am, love me as who I am.." and perhaps thats my dream.

I am freaking tired.

Been out for whole nite with the "sisters" yesterday after coming back from uni.

Out of the blues, two buddies of me called me to chat with me coz they felt "mou liu" enough to call me. Been on phone till around 2 something in the morning.

Been up since 7am today; Out since 8am. Being "sisters", then helping in church with the wedding etc.. Running all around, occupied with this and that... then, grandaunty's birthday dinner... came back only now.. around 1030pm.

I am tired. Very tired.

Been having assesmentS for 3/5 of our weekdays and because last friday's assessment was postponed to monday... and yeay~! I have test on monday too.

I did pretty badly in my last assessment, and I have many corrections to do. Each question 5 times. Its the answers to SAQ ( short answer questions ). Thats is no joke. I am procrastinating. Have not done any of it yet.

I am tired. Freaking tired.


p/s: ok, it seems that a lot of people have been commenting i've gone thinner. By that I really meant a lot... so, i've decided to go on a weight-gaining target. Yes, you got me right... I hereby announce that i am going on a weight-gaining target; to achieve a healthy weight.

stupid crapz me do

Had my second assessment today; the clinical examination on cranial nerves. It was a total crap. AAaaaaaahhhhhHHHHH~~~!!!! I feel like slapping myself and knocking my head HARD. It is still ok if i were to miss some details of any cranial nerve exam. Alrite, I was panic & nervous but that does not give me reasons why I should be stupid enough to miss some MAJOR, OBVIOUS stuff.

• I had the ophthalmoscope in my pocket BUT i totally forgotten about performing fundoscopy! *smack*

• forgotten about jaw jerk.. ok, acceptable.

• I TOTALLY forgot about checking cranial nerve VII; the facial nerve~... oh, dear.. stupid-nye! *SMACK*

• I was taking a moment to think about what to test on the hypoglossal nerve, mumbling to myself a little.. and then.. the examiner exclaimed, "What about 12th cranial nerve?"My bulb was lighted up. "Oh!" I go and I continued with the examination. BUT he gave me a stern look and tell, "You forgot about the 12th cranial nerve". A blank look i tossed back. I didn't know what to say. It just took me a bit of time to recall. I think he assumes that I've forgotten about it, which means no marks for CN XII as well.. :'( *please shoot me..*

Unforgivable stupidity... sigh.. I hope I'll pass?..

Gonna study for tomorrow's assessment now...; the 3rd test for this week.. sigh

when you say nothing at all

when you say nothing at all,
i felt the night quietly seals my soul...

when you say nothing at all,
i try to search near and afar for what it may be...

when you say nothing at all,
i felt the handicap in me...

when you say nothing at all,
the distance almost spells it all...

when you say nothing at all,
i realized i know nothing afterall...

makan @ Annaletchumi

Dinner @ Annaletchumi, Mid Valley. [10-11-2006]

We (about 17 of us) had an interesting indian vegetarian buffet. Besides the hot currys, I noticed they have a lot of yoghurt like stuff. Dun ask me what are they called, I just eat =)

Well, I thought the most interesting discovery was the concept of this restaurant. Their buffet runs on a "Eat all you can, & pay whatever you want" kind of concept. Never have i heard of that before. I was like "huh?! really?!"..erm, its cool though.. Basically this restaurant operates on a charity basis for the temple, well..that explains.. Though it is a buffet, it is not advisable to take all you can. Be sure not to waste your food at a solemn looking place like this.

A small, dainty place, though not with lots of variety, it is still a pleasure to dine here.

my food.

their table..

Swee Im & me.. (our table)

finished ny food, cleaned my plate

..(plus dessert summore) :)

信义 & 书琴 are getting married ~~!

Another pair of couple from youth fellowship (MYF) is tieing up knots next saturday. Saw their wedding pictures today. Their wedding photos are great; really sweet couple they are.. =)

geez... here goes another wedding, another holy matrimonial. There has been quite a number of weddings that took place during the recent years. It is truly a joy to see the blessed couples to come together as one. However, on the other hand I have not come to enjoy attending wedding dinners yet..

well, oh geez!... 信义 (Leinad) & 书琴 (Jesselyn) are getting married next week~~ God bless! :)

destiny

What did Napoleon gave Josephine as their wedding gift?
He who had great dreams for their future, and his wedding, presented to Josephine a gold medallion inscribed with the words "To Destiny."

What is my destiny?
What am I meant to be?

These phrase from "The Broken Bridges" is still singing vividly in my head.

"Destiny", everyone has their own... and what is our destiny?

..to our destiny we head; a place where our destiny today becomes a reality tomorrow.

选择

长长听人说，“没办法。。我没有选择"

也有人说，“选择真的很难。。”

你喜欢作选择么?
我不是很喜欢。。

你喜欢没有选择的时候么？
我也不是很喜欢。。

其实，有选择好呢还是没选好？

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, youc hoose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny

开学了...

希望與失望

人因为有期望才懂得什么叫做希望. 有夢想而去努力與付出. 但是有人说, "希望越大,失望越大 ". 就因为怕失望,我也不敢的去抱着任何的希望. 就因为怕会跌到受伤而不敢的再 take another step. 请告诉我..该敢敢的去相信與希望好还是该好好的保护自己好..

Beautiful tomorrow

She said...

Nothing is as beautiful as knowing there's always hope for tomorrow. Smile and everything will be fine.

Every day we encounter different things, walk through different journeys, immersed in different touch of experiences. When the sun sets again in the west, the whole day loads might just sets down together, weighing us down into the gloomy valley. And even before the sun make its way up to rise again, we are already worrying about tomorrow.

No matter how bad your day may seems; no matter how ruined things are; and no matter how worrying the bleak future may seems... I've come to realize that till the end of the day, we all still need a reason to smile.. So, smile and everything will be fine. Coz nothing is as beautiful as knowing there's always hope for tomorrow..

For the beautiful tomorrow, we await...

had a haircut

I had a hair cut today. My hair is short now. I don't enjoy looking at the mirror anymore especially when i'm out from shower with all my hairs poking up like porcupine. I don't look good.. i miss my long curly hair. Its so sad looking at the mirror now. I'm sad :'(

What are we searching for in life?

What are we searching for in life?

Are we looking for perfections in life?

Or are we after the basic simplicity of life?

Perfections if you have it, what else do you expect more? But if you don't have it, what is it to lose actually?

Yet isn't the simple basics of life that makes you complete? It might be the simplest thing in life but it is yet the thing that comfortably kept you sustained over all. And it could also probably be the hardest thing to achieve in life.

...what actually are you searching for in life?

Bobby & Boobie

Bobby: Do you really want to know?

Boobie: If its not too much to know.

Bobby: Well, it might.

Boobie: Then let the blind be blind, and let the deaf be deaf.. :)

hv fun with maths (hahahaha)

=D hahaahhaha...

Happiness is a voyage

I've received an email that ask me to think and try to:

1. Name the 5 richest people in the world.
2. Name the last 5 miss Universe winners.
3. Name the last 10 Nobel Prize winners.
4. Name the last 10 winners of the best actor Oscar.

...and also to:

1. Name 3 teachers who contributed to your education.
2. Name 3 friends who helped you in your hours of need.
3. Think of a few people who made you feel special.
4. Name 5 people that you like to spend time with.

the latter set of questions seems easier to tackle isn't it? Conclusion for these questions? Well, the people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best", don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes.

Upon reflection, here comes a simple poem dedicated to you...

You need not to be perfect,
You need not to be labelled the best,
but you certainly are one in a million,
that I consider a priceless gem.

Don't know how is it all linked up in that email but as the tittle says,

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination.

你骗她表示你在乎她

I was reading and commenting on a blog and something caught my attention..

"你骗她表示你在乎她"

ni pian ta biao shi ni zai hu ta

which in other words, it means.. you lied (to her) because you care.. or you could also say that.. you lied and that means you care. However, i think the former interpratation is more accurate.. while the latter one is more of a literal translation. Anyway,..

"You lied because you care"?

Will you lie to someone because you care for him/her?.. just because you care enough..

I'm still trying to appreciate the concept that i've just perceived from that phrase. To lie because one cares enough.

Well,ok.. I understand that a liar is different from a cheater. But come to think of it, how actually does it feel to have someone that care enough to lie to you?

Yeah, i know that sometimes truth really hurts. We often hear people saying truth hurts rather than lie hurts. And we sometimes even use adjectives like 'cruel' and 'ugly' to describe the truth. But hey! What about a lie? Does a lie not hurt?

Maybe they both hurt.

Actually, does the truth hurts more or a lie hurts more? I wonder.

bombarded feelings

The world is talking,

and I am spinning;

Silently I am digging,

A place where I can stop living..

禱告 I pray

禱告 因為我渺小
I pray because I'm 'little'

禱告 因為我知道我需要 明瞭 你心意對我重要
I pray because I know I need to understand how important Your will is to me

禱告 已假裝不了
I pray because I could pretend no more

禱告 因為你的愛 我需要 你关怀
I pray because I need Your love, Your care

我走過你都明白
You know all that I've been through

有些事我只想要對你說 因你比任何人都愛我
there are things that I only want to tell you because You love me more than anyone

痛苦從眼中流下 我知道你會為我擦
as the pain overflows from my eyes I know You will wipe it off for me

在早晨我也要來對你說 主耶穌今天我為你活
in the morning I want to come to You and say, "I'll live for you today, Jesus"

所需要的力量你天天赐给我

You provide all I needed everyday

你恩典夠我用
Your grace is sufficient for me

Everybody lies

I've been watching Grey's Anatomy Season2 lately and a familiar concept apppeared. "Everybody lies." In the drHouse series, he said the same thing too. And now, I hear Meredith saying that again.. "Everybody lies". Is it true??

Well, I suppose so. Yeah, everybody lies. And that makes everybody a liar, whether past, present or future. What happens to the golden rule that says "Honesty is the best policy" then?

Truth telling, is it necessarily good? Despite the fact that truth telling can avoid harm; truth telling could also be a source of harm. Adding on from here, it is sometimes even a neccessity to lie.. because the truth freaking hurts.

I am obviously not a fan of liars or lies. Hence, it is only right for me to admit that I lied; I tell lies. So what? Because strictly speaking, everybody does lie. Just take a simple example.

"Are you ok?"

How many people actually answers that they are NOT ok when they really ARE NOT ok?

Now you see, everybody lies! (but of course, this may not be a serious lie.. still a lie though.)

Anyhow, i think and i hope the golden rule is and could be uphold. I certainly do not like the picture of me being lied.

But the cruelty that lies beneath the truth sometimes makes me to want nothing, and just be ignorantly deaf and blind. For if there's no need to know, i rather not... if there's no need to face it, i rather procrastinate and shut myself off in a coconut shell.
