A Donkey's Lesson

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

Dear friends...

This post is specially written for 2 of my best friends, Allie Tey and Grace Gui to apologize for my irrational thoughts and actions. I know I've hurt you all. I really don't mean it. I know you all always care for me.

I'm sorry...

But don't worry, I won't drown into the deep sea.

I will be rational. I will think properly. I will control myself. I know what is right and wrong.

And finally, I won't disappoint you all.

Dear friends, thank you for all your support and companion all this while. I truly cherish them.

Just give me some time. Time will heal everything.

Confused

I'm quite lost right now... Really don't know what to do... I'm always thinking of her and yet I don't want to put 100% attention in it because I'm afraid of being hurt again...

Home Sweet Home

And so I'm back to Melaka, my precious hometown. Feels like years ago since the last time I was in Malacca. So many things to do. But it is enjoyable.

Home is always the best place... ^^

Single is Better

Love isn't something wonderful all the time. Maybe I, myself have experienced an unhappy love story before, that's why I have not much confidence in it.

Although lately I have this special feeling towards this person, somehow I feel that I have more burden. It's really funny. When I'm single, I wish to have a partner. When that person really comes, I want to be single, not loving anyone.

All this while I was living happily with my single life. I think I'm getting used to it already. Suddenly when I feel that I love another person other than my family and friends, it became a burden to me.

I don't know why I would feel this way. Maybe my heart is already full with the love I shower to my family members and friends. There's no more space for life partner.

When something is already full, and we insist of adding more things inside, it would be a burden and maybe it would break into pieces.

So for now I think I shall remain single until the time when I'm ready to accept it. When my heart is no longer 100% full.

Finally, again...

After 3 years of being single, I almost forgotten how love is like. I enjoy my single life a lot although sometimes I would still feel lonely and empty in my heart, hoping that I can find my other half. But all this while, my life of being single surrounded by many friends was going very well. I'm happy of that. ^^

However, lately, I have this special feeling towards someone. This feeling is so much like those I have felt before during my first love. No one in these past 3 years has ever made me feel this way. She's the 1st one that make me feel so after so long of being single.

I'm happy to meet her and get to know her. Is really hard for me to describe how I feel now. But if she can make me feel this way, it shows that somehow she has attracted me and has special place in my heart.

This is just the starting...

Our story is to be continued...

I-Week 2009

Finally, I-Week 2009 has ended successfully!! Hooray!!! It was a fun and memorable event indeed. We had great time together with the accounting juniors. ^^

I-Week committee workshop

RIP

Feels like ages since I last updated my blog. The new semester has just begun and now I'm back to UM. Unfortunately, yesterday I received a bad news from a friend about the death of one of my friends in a car accident. At that moment, my mind went blank. I didn't what to do and how to response. It was so sudden!

Life is so unpredictable. Anything may happen anytime.

So please, cherish everyone around you. Don't wait till it's too late.

Tips to Stay Happy!! ^^

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love.
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health.
If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Something you should not do after meals

Don't smoke - Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meals is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).

Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruits 1-2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.

Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In reality this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
