2011 Feelings

This week finally removed a heavy load off my heart at work. Hope no follow up need to require.

I have been thinking about will this yr be a brand good new year. Last yr was not smoothed sailing... job instability. Also looking ahead... I wondered when I would find my another half!!! Looking at Airu for her liking towards a guy for years n finally decided to let him know. I hope an outcome will bring her to her next stage of life. Looking at myself. Love life is so empty. Things come n go. I think i can be a good friend of a guy but never to the stage of gf. Another thing is if a guy likes you, how should I react? Esp. this guy is a friend of your friend's husband. Matchmaking?!? I really dont know. Pretty sure that our stage will not go beyond friends. How then should I react if he ask me out? Should I go or not? I really hope to tell him that i dont mind to be friend him but yet i dont want to give him the impression that he has chance. It is so horribly wrong. I dont like this feeling to be happened to me if someone i like, just try to be nice to go out with me. Would man think the same as woman? Please give me some direction. I wanted to ask my good friend n her husband for opinion but tot it was not right. How!!! Please show me!!!

Nice article

Great Work Comes from Solitude
Dan Miller
48Days.com

Many people are most creative and productive when they are secluded or left alone.
A common myth in clients that I see is the belief that if they are going to do something creative, innovative or entrepreneurial, they must become the outgoing, hard driving Donald Trump kind of person. Of course, this is often very much the opposite of their natural personality style. What do you think? Is it necessary to become the aggressive extrovert in order to do something exciting, unusual and profitable?

I trust you don't really believe that. The key to success is to find your authenticity and to be true to that. Shakespeare really conveyed a basic truth when he said, "Know thyself, and to thine own self be true, then thou canst not be false with any man." If you are an introvert who shudders at the thought of being in front of people, then allow your business or career to embrace that knowledge about yourself. There is no continuum of personal style that forces a person to become more extroverted, talkative, bold and aggressive in the path to success.

Here are some notable, quotable examples:

"Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words. " Carl G. Jung

"I hate crowds and making speeches. I hate facing cameras and having to answer to a crossfire of questions. Why popular fancy should seize upon me, a scientist, dealing in abstract things and happy if left alone, is a manifestation of mass psychology that is beyond me." Albert Einstein

"We have to remember that we look for solitude in order to grow there in love for God and in love for others. We do not go into the desert to escape people but to learn how to find them: we do not leave them in order to have nothing more to do with them, but to find out the way to do them the most good." Thomas Merton

Silence is not just a void space. Silence is often where God is, waiting to burst forth with the possibility of a creative solution or a miraculous thought. Out of the silence comes the next chapter in a book or the opening chords of a symphony. Out of silence comes the natural breathing rhythm of restful rejuvenation and healthy optimism

Workaholics and others addicted to frenetic activity miss the life-giving power of silence.


From the Bible:

"The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools." Ecclesiastes 9: 17 (NIV)

Direction for Today:

What are the ways you have violated being "true to thine own self?" How can you tap into the power of silence in your work and life?

Nice article from My Paper

安静享受生命

忙碌的生活让人习惯性把内心的问题丢置一旁，不去理会它。若静不下来聆听自己内心的声音，就很难知道自己真正要的是什么。

很多人常以为忙是一种自我肯定的方式，生活充实固然很好，但太过忙碌的生活容易使我们焦虑、失去耐性、没时间与家人沟通、没时间思考、品尝人生，或享受身边的一花一木，享受大自然。

安静，是学会承受孤独、独处的能力；安静，让我们有时间思考，面对自己，让我们变得更有智慧。

I took out some paragraphs to share. Hope you guys will like it too.

Remember to recharge and refresh your direction in life. :)

Loves this song

不喜歡懷疑什麼 並不表示我沒有感受 看你微妙的變化慢慢不同 我不是生氣只是心痛 最討厭被誤會了 但越解釋越覺得難過 你可以說人會變但不能說 你會這麼做是我的錯 哭過就好了 傷都會好的 這樣相信所以深呼吸著割捨 愛是為了擁抱為了牽手 不是為了爭吵為了調頭 哭過就好了 痛都會走的 記憶有限所以它會淘汰壞的 失眠聽歌想念雖然苦澀 還是謝謝你讓我長大...

A Love Worth Giving... Max Lucado

"Has he, knowing all your secrets, retracted one promise or reclaimed one gift? No, he is kind to you. Why don't you be kind to yourself? He forgives your faults. Why don't you do the same? He thinks tomorrow is worth living. Why don't you agree? He believes in you enough to call you his ambassador, his follower, even his child. Why not take his cue and believe in yourself?
Be kind to yourself. God thinks you're worth his kindness. And he's a good judge of character."

I loves this author. His ideas and thoughts are simply bought across in his books that are easy to read. I began to take notice of his book when I bought a music cd that was released together with the book title; "He chose the nails".

This time round his latest book; "A Love Worth Giving." Be kind to yourself, believe in yourself and I am worth his kindness. I always struggle in what worth do I have. I am not good at study, work or practically anything. But one thing I should remember is to be kind to myself and He found worth in me. I should get this book and read through it. Hee Hee.

Nice song of Fish Leong.. Pretty nice mv

Yes Man

Well, alot of things happened these few weeks; ups and downs, expected and unexpected events. Went for movie tonight with my friz although it supposed to be a family ktv seesion. "Yes man" i didnt expect it to be more than just a comedy. It comes with the tots about saying yes to all things. It was almost at the end after the car accident that jim carrey's character came to realise... saying yes to all things at the first place was due to his promise... but yes at the later part movie was truely he feels from his heart. It also remind me of saying yes to someone impt, but i am letting go of how He can change me. Life is like a process, if only u take up the challenge, then you will know how things turn out. I hope i will be as crazy as the character to take up anything, having the tots to say yes, I can do it. It sounds like positive thinking. But it is more than this. To me, it is really be open to anything and see how things can change in life. Be it wat happen, it is wat u think that counts. I really recommend this movie to all.

Christmas has ended pretty fast, next new year is coming up. Had a great dinner both with my family and friz. Gotten alot of gifts from my family and friz. Really thanks alot. Hope you guys have enjoyed this period too.

Keep having this song in mind...

Moody

Why have life can so much? Have I change or ppl ard me have changed? I think is both. I think for me, i become more n more reserve. My walls of protection is getting thicker than i can image. I dont like to speak to ppl. Although i know it is not right, i am not doing anything about it. My attitude towards family have also changed. Am I suffering from sydnome of XXX. I felt funny in every places; be it in a gathering of friz, work place or in public. Is something wrong with me? I cant get this question out of my mind. N it is killing me badly. Who can help me? Myself?

Different looks of ME.

Well, Piglet was added in because I really like it. It is a hand-made gift from YL and some of my friz said I looks like it. Hee Hee. So wat do you think?!?

Bored!!!

You must have wondered why I blog using such a title and add this girl pic right. Well, I am just bored at worked. So decided to look thru pics in my photo and saw this little girl I took during my trip in australia. I think she is from hongkong, coz her family were speaking cantonese to her. She is very adorable that I cant keep my eyes off her. She is very cheerful throughout the trip but when she realised I try to take her pic. She gave me a sulky face but after I removed my phone, she returned to her cheerfulness. So can only blog this face of her. Hee Hee.

There was a incident happened during the trip on her n her family. The coach we took stopped for toliet break along the way. As she was sleeping, her mum decided to go toliet alone. Funny was her dad also left his seat to chat with the bus driver. In the end, she woke up. At first, she just looked around. So I thought she is fine. Then suddenly, she started crying, but in a while she stopped. It went on and off for a while . Her dad just didnt noticed at all. Well, I try to help u to help with my limited cantonese but it just didnt really helped. Finally, her dad was back and she put on her smile immediately. I realised our nature instinct is our support always come from our family members since the day we r born. :)

Nice song by 林峯 泳兒

To all my beloved friz,

light rain in suzhou

It been almost a week for me in suzhou. Had visited quite a few places in suzhou. Walking around pretty much that my feets were so tired. Yesterday was a public holiday in china, if i am not wrong, it should be the dumpling festival. 

This place is like Kaoxiong, quiet and peaceful, except the residents here travel on battery-run bicycle instead of motorcycles. Btw, i am living in the Industrial Area of Suzhou and will need to take Bus 146 to the Ancient Town of Suzhou which is the city area. Traveling there is pretty okay and it costs 1RMB (~S$0.20) for the ride. But coming back can be very, VERY packed with people. Thats why the day before my sis and I decided to walk back home, which took us about 40mins. Abit crazy right!!! Hee Hee. 

One thing I realized about Suzhou is that it is really a water-city, with bridges connecting everywhere. One can see small boats in the river touring people around to see the places. The boatman/woman sometimes sing their local country songs while rowing the boat. It is a beautiful scene. 

For pictures, can take a look on my facebook. :)
