Be thankful always...

i should be studying now, but... i guess i will like to write something here to share with every reader of my blog..was juz checking my bank account through the net a few moments ago... and suddenly i was like loaded again!!nono this is not my point.. actually it makes me think deeply... how wonderful our parents is to have provided us with everything i would say...when we are lack of money... nah!here is the money...when we wan food we will get it... but how many of us will actually think before we spend?a meal of MCD will cost around Rm10 if u wan to get ur stomach filled..a meal in Kenny Rogers will cost rm20 per meal... have we ever think before how long it takes for our parents to earn dat sum of money.. it may seems to be a small sum... but it takes our parents a few minutes to earn the money... and there it goes...a meal of MCD... the money is gone...imagine how much stress the need to just earn a living for the family... anyway, it is not that we cant spend with friends or wat... but it is the matter of thinking before spending.. and this could not be the case everyday!.. even if our parents are loaded or what.. it is not at our discretion to spend the money like flowing water..i always thank God for my wonderful parents who is always there to provide everything that i want... notice that, the things I WANT... not the things i NEED...well, in a nutshell.. be thankful always!

Happy and sorrow

When we are happy or when we are blue,
God is aware of whatever we do;
All of our sorrows He takes as His own,
And he will never leave us alone....

To You

I phoned,
and get to know u r leaving,
in just half an hours time,
i asked myself,
shd i go ?
the answer in me was a yes,
i dunno why,
but i just did.

I doubted,
that i will reach in time,
cos it seems to be so near,
but yet so far.
Off i headed,
to the station but the train just left,
i doubted again,
but i insisted that i want to be there,
i waited and another came,
boarded in, out , in another, and out again,
i knew i could make it.

10 more mins,
i knew i can,
walk and run a little,
getting closer,closer,closer.
yet i cant find YOU there,
but it was juz a slip of my eyes.

The next moment,
it was YOU infront of me,
delighted, happy, and thankful.
YOU were still there.

5 more mins,
that is the only time i have,
i tried to cherish every moment,
and its time for YOU to leave,
hope YOU are not, but YOU are.
umpteen times of byes,
till YOU went up and the bus starts vrooming,
i wish i could stop YOU,
but its getting farer and farer,
i can chase no more,
at the end it's all worth while,
even it was juz a few mins,
at least the previous 15 mins was not wasted,
and not in vain..
it's all worth while,
because it was YOU....

Another trip to penang for sis's convocation

17/8/2007
before the journey started, while waiting for my parents from muar, goliku actually sang a few songs which suprises me...nice voice but lack of feelings.. haha.. and he was rewarded with a bouquet of flowers..unfortunately, it was juz for the sake of acting..my idea..

My dad drove till tapah, and i take over and drove up to penang.. it was quite challenging... as the roads are winding in some parts...had KFC for lunch...nowadays i prefer to drive rather than to sit as a passenger...we reached penang at about 5 something, aunty alice and the others went to a beads shop @burma road while i went to the hotel to check-in...we stayed in Laurel Evergreen Hotel...it seems to be the shortest from the outlook of the building but in fact, it was quite nice inside and worth the price..went to macalister road for dinner..and here comes the GREAT FOOD EATER... that's me....haha ....i ate"kuey chap", fried kuey tiow, fried osyter,ikan bakar, and a little bit of wan tan mee...





As we were quite tired on that day, we ve decided to sleep early and make full use of the hotel bed...:P ......

18/08/2007
mum,dad and sis went to uni early to get prepared and register, while i continue to sleep like a pig till 8 something until goliku call me to go for breakfast, i rush to have a quick bath and went to his room....and off we go for dim sum..it brings back some of my working memories few months ago..still remember.. there was once jessica went to visit me n henry in the dim sum stall with some other youths from muar and pahang..she complaint about the food thr and she saw how we work, and she thinks that is was quite easy..did she laugh at us?forget alr..:P..well it was nice to work and gain some experience..So when my uncle call me to pick variesties of dim sum, i know which 1 to choose..Off we went to USM after that and this was the main agenda of our journey all the way to penang...





Took lots of pictures until we were all tired...me n family went for famous penang pan mee and then headed to the hotel to sleep again..... went to foodloft for dinner in Gurney Plaza...

19/08/2007
went for bak kut teh along Gurney drive...the food was not bad.. but it was expensive...went for swimming, jacuzzi and sauna after that .... check out at 1p.m and its time to say bye bye to penang...i guess we wont be going to penang any sooner anymore...as it is far and also no point going anymore.. unless i miss the food there... haha

lessons learned

after receiving our assessment results..esp law paper..all of us is like so tensed and stress out...everyday study study study..but i ve decided to relax a bit today.. as i'm a marathon runner rather than a sprinter.i cant pecut all the way and in d end, cant even finish the race..i will go straight into the point ...after reading my best friend and bro-in-christ's blog only i realised that his grandma juz pass away few days ago...his situation actually brings back memories to me and also reflect the situation i'm facing few months ago..both of us fail to see our loved ones for the last time before they pass away...As for my situation, my uncle had ask me whether i wan to follow him back to muar as my ahkong is admitted into the hospital again,as i dont wan to skip my class,i procrastinated and decided to go back the next day..as a result,i dont even get to see my ahkong for the one last time at the very last few moments...So,it's important that we don't take situations and people for granted as we wont be able to know what will and is going to happen next....If u feel like meeting or talking to someone, do it immediately, dun wait!!
Through real life experience recently.. i've also learned that treat and accept ur friends as who they really are and not treating and changing them according to ur likings... as this is what makes them who they are!

A wooden bowl

" I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, aw eek from now, a month from now, a year from now. The Wooden Bowl A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor." So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl! When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.! I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about. I just did.

dillution of the word SORRY

Sorry is a word,obviously, use to apologise for the wrong doings we have done towards an individual and even a group of people...it's a strong word in nature in the sense that to let other people know that we are remorseful for the things that we have done.In a lot of situations this word just come out so quickly from our mouth and even thoughts without us noticing it.. in other words, we say it without meaning it .well, it will be dilluted if this word is being ultered countlessly from our mouth.... it will soon lost the sincerity of the word... Sincerity can be said as an important essense and critiria in the word SORRY... So, do ponder for a while and mean it when we ulter the word sorry.... a strong word which can turn the situation better and tightens back relationships and gaps....
