This post is dedicated to all my families and friends who in recent months has make me feel overwhelm with love...yes overwhelm is the word to use..."To affect deeply in mind or emotion"...

All the free lunches, dinners, gifts, lovely words of greetings offering encouragements, friendships, love, it just make me feel momentarily stunt and incapable of reacting to all these positive emotions/things...

I wish everyone will get what they want in life and for the one I love and those for love me for being just me, thank you, do take care of yourself. Keep in touch.

P/S: I'm missing some of my dear friends photos, however you know who you are and I do keep every photos of you in my mind and heart...

Thanks a lot for making my days!

Gone Baby Gone

This is a very good movie...

The tough private eye Patrick Kenzie was raised in a poor and dangerous neighborhood of Boston, and works with his partner and girlfriend Angie Gennaro generally tracking missing losers in debt. When the four year-old Amanda McCready is abducted from her apartment, her aunt Beatrice 'Bea' McCready calls the police and the press, and the case is highlighted with the spots by the media. Then Bea hires the reluctant Patrick to work in the case because he is not a cop and based on his great knowledge of their neighborhood. Meanwhile Capt. Jack Doyle, who lost his own daughter many years ago and is in charge of the investigation, assigns detectives Remy Bressant and Nick Pole to give the necessary support to Patrick. After interviewing the addicted low life mother of Amanda, Helene McCready, Patrick goes to a bar and discloses that Helene was on the streets with her boyfriend Skinny Ray Likanski dealing and using drugs on the day Amanda disappeared. Along his investigation, Patrick faces smalltime criminals, drug dealers, pedophiles and corruption, facing a moral issue to solve the case. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

福氣

鵑鵑原本在美國工作，公司給她的待遇很好，再加上單身，生活過得很逍遙。
前一陣子她住在臺灣的母親罹患腦瘤，開刀後復原得很慢。
鵑鵑立刻請調回臺，找了間公寓，把母親接到身邊就近照顧。

鵑鵑不是家中的獨生女，上有大姐，下有弟弟，但是只有她放棄原本的生活，承擔服侍母親的責任。
她大姐偶爾給她一筆錢，當作是孝親費，此外很少露面，更別談關心自己母親的現況，好像出點錢就可以心安理得的把母親推給妹妹。

我們這些鵑鵑的朋友看不過去，紛紛提醒她要找大姐和弟弟談清楚母親的事。
鵑鵑保持她一貫的優雅從容，靜靜的說：「照顧媽媽是我的福氣。 」原本為她打抱不平的我們，聽了這句話，頓時沉默起來。
難怪從來不曾聽她抱怨，自認享有「福氣」的人，怎麼會向人訴苦呢？
她總是耐著性子尋找適合母親的飲食配方和復健機構，珍惜與母親相處的時光，鵑鵑忙著張羅都來不及了，哪有閒功夫喊累叫煩哪！

在鵑鵑細心打點下，病情不大樂觀的母親，身體竟一天天好起來，母親想要康復的意願也啟動了，甚至會離開臥房到屋外走走。
原本令人覺得沉重的擔子，因為鵑鵑懂得惜福，居然化作豐盛的禮物。

現在鵑鵑成了大家的強心劑，每當我們遇到困難，或者受了委屈，習慣性的退縮、放棄、抱怨或指責別人時，總會想起她的話。
在我們這一群朋友中，開始流行一種句型：「 能多做一點是我的福氣。 」
「孩子不聽話，耐著性子引導他是我的福氣。 」 「擠公車沒位子坐是我的福氣。」

說這些話的時候，我們多少帶著點自我解嘲的意味，有時也是開玩笑，但不知不覺中，我們看待周遭人事物的態度有了明顯變化，原來好福氣也是會傳染的。

一句話

人生的成敗，常常因為一個人、一件事，甚至一句話而有決定性的影響。尤其對人有用的一句話，勝過千言萬語。

古今中外有很多人因為別人的一句話而深受感動，甚至豁然開朗；由於「一句話」而改變一生的事例，更是多不勝數。

美國著名的教育家和演講口才藝術家卡內基，小時候是一個非常調皮的小男孩。他九歲的時候，父親將繼母娶進門。
他父親向新婚妻子介紹卡內基時，如是說：「希望你注意這個全郡最壞的男孩，他實在令我頭痛，說不定明天早晨他還會拿石頭砸你，或做出什麼壞事呢！」
出乎卡內基預料的是，繼母微笑地走到他面前，托著他的頭，注視著他。
接著告訴丈夫：「你錯了， 他不是全郡最壞的男孩，而是最聰明，只是還沒找到發洩熱忱地方的男孩。」
此話一出，卡內基的眼淚不聽使喚地滾滾而下。
就因為這一句話，建立了卡內基和繼母之間深厚的感情；也因為這一句話，成就了他立志向上的動力；更因為這一句話，讓他日後幫助千千萬萬的人一同步上了成功之路。

「一句話」很容易說，但重要的是要能讓對方受用。
給人一句好話，讓人生命奮起飛揚，何樂而不為呢？所以，人要常說：

第一、給人歡喜的話；
第二、給人鼓勵的話；
第三、給人肯定的話；
第四、給人讚美的話。

多說好話，少說壞話。

不經意的一句輕浮話，有時會自毀前程，而一句關懷別人的話，卻能讓沮喪的人有生存下去的勇氣。因此人要經常檢點自己的口舌，以免破壞了好因緣。

原來你也很富有

有一位青年，老是埋怨自己時運不濟，發不了財，終日愁眉不展。
這一天，走過來一個鬚髮皆白的老人，問：「年輕人，為什麼不快樂？」
「我不明白，為什麼我總是這麼窮。」
「窮？你很富有嘛！」老人由衷地說。
「這從何說起？」年輕人不解。
老人反問道：「假如現在斬掉你一個手指頭，給你 1千元，你幹不幹？」 「不幹。」年輕人回答。
「假如砍掉你一隻手，給你 1 萬元，你幹不幹？」
「不幹。」
「假如使你雙眼都瞎掉，給你 10 萬元，你幹不幹？」
「不幹。」
「假如讓你馬上變成80 歲的老人，給你 100 萬，你幹不幹？」
「不幹。」
「假如讓你馬上死掉，給你 1000 萬，你幹不幹？」
「不幹。」
「這就對了，你已經擁有超過1000 萬的財富，為什麼還哀怨自己貧窮呢？」老人笑吟吟地問道。
青年愕然無言，突然什麼都明白了。

心靈導航

親愛的朋友，如果你早上醒來發現自己還能自由呼吸，你就比在這個星期中離開人世的人更有福氣。

如果你從來沒有經歷過戰爭的危險、被囚禁的孤寂、受折磨的痛苦和忍饑挨餓的難受 ……。
你已經好過世界上五億人了。

如果你的銀行帳戶有存款，錢包裡有現金，你已經身居於世界上最富有的 8％之列！

如果你的雙親仍然在世，並且沒有分居或離婚，你已屬於稀少的一群。

如果你能抬起頭，面容上帶著笑容，並且內心充滿感恩的心情，你是真的幸福了。
因為世界上大部分的人都可以這樣做，但是他們卻沒有。

如果你能握著一個人的手，擁抱他，或者只是在他的肩膀上拍一下。你的確有福氣了。因為你所做的，已經等同於上帝才能做到的。

親愛的：如果你能讀到這段文字，那麼你更是擁有了雙份的福氣，你比20億不能閱讀的人不是幸福很多嗎？

看到這裡，請你暫且放下書，然後非常認真地對自己說一句話：
「哇！原來我是這麼富有的人！ 」

Woman

Why Women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,

yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

Quotes

What is it that you like doing? If you don't like it, get out of it, because you'll be lousy at it. You don't have to stay with a job for the rest of your life, because if you don't like it you'll never be successful in it. - Lee Iacocca

Choices...

Everyday of our life is a choice...when we say we don't have a choice, actually we do...it's a choice we make to lie to ourself and console ourself that we actually don't have a choice while we can just admit that, either push or pull factor, we did make a conscious or unconscious choice...

We are who we choose to be...some people have shitty childhood and are still shitty now, because of what they choose to be...some grow up to be a shining star at their own field of specialization...

At work, when we don't feel like going to work, we choose the thoughts and the attitude/action or non-action come with it...considering when we go to work for the first day, it was all +ve energy, rearing to go attitude, so what happened now? Yes, we have gotten a hang of things being done, we are maybe a little expert in what we do, but if we choose to live everyday like the first day, the boredom and -ve attitude should not exist...

We choose to be single, intentionally or non-intentionally, consciously or unconsciously. The way our partner are is the choice we make, the way we react to them.

The relationship with our family is what we choose to be...I was mad at mum today...coz she calls me up at a bad time, but I could have choose a better way to handle it, instead of me feeling bad and hurting her emotionally, I choose to end it with an apology sms.

How 'successful or not we are, are the choices that we make everyday...or the way we react to the choices/opportunity that came...It's funny that whenever we let our emotion run, we are no better than an animal and words like "I have no choice, she make me do it" "She's a bitch, that's why I kill her" "I should have..."Human are different from animal as we are supposed to be able to think things through and make the choices on how we should react and control our emotion instead of the other way round...

Today, when I reached home early from work, I make the choices of eating nasi kerabu with sambal kerang and egg...which I have promise myself not to eat nasi after lunch...so i can't blame anyone else but me as this is the choices I make. I have myself to be accounted for when I watch the Dark Knight over the internet instead of preparing for my exam and I make the choice to blog about this while it's way pass my bed time...

Internet is such a powerfull thing...I wish I will have a better control of myself when I go back to study again...as from the way things are...I am regressing far more faster than what I hope I will not.

Random thoughts...

Amazing scenery....don't feel like sleeping now...
1. In a night like this, what's in your deepest mind...work, family, obligation, love, friends, memories?
2. Wind blowing...breeze on my face...
3. Sleeping people, sleeping town...sleeping city...sleeping mind...
Butterfly and apple...2 in 1....
1. Art...
2. food...
3. food for the soul...

Lemon squeez

Both of my roommates have been on craz with lemon...it was reported that lemon is really good...with all the indigestion, slimming down and detoxing purposes...for my visits to the refrigerator in our apartment, 1/4 of the fridge is filled with lemonade in various sizes of container...it does freak me out that everyone really has taken beauty into the next level...

I always wonder to myself, if there are no guys in this world, will the word slimming for beauty even exist in these women's mind? Sometimes I do get a little self conscious but not for long though...

Recently, got a spam from the some match making internet service, out of curiosity, I sign up...without putting my picture on and wah lah...someone send me an email...I really don't know about guys...what they have in mind when they sign up for these services...1 night stand? pardon me for thinking the worst but I can tell that from his email that he's quite genuine in getting to know me...so..I did what a honest person will do..I tell him everything about myself...blah blah blah...and he did entertain me by sending mail back...but later the mail become nasty and let's just say I don't really want to go through it again...

Ekkk....give me a lemon, think I need to detox....
