3 leaves clover. 三叶草。

Sth for u to ponder over... Luck or HAPPINESS? 值得思考的一件事。。。 幸运还是幸福? Haru 的一天之三叶草:- 大部分人都在寻找有四片叶子,代表《幸运》的三叶草,可是三片叶子的三叶草,她的花语,却鲜为人知。 三片叶子的三叶草,代表《幸福》。 是不是为了苦苦找寻《幸运》,我们才对一直停留在身边的《幸福》视而不见了呢? From the book of a day in Haru's life, I'm sharing this interesting article on 3 leaves clover:- Most ppl are searching for the four leaves clover which represent Luck, however most ppl do not know what does a three leaves clover represent. A three leaves clover represents HAPPINESS. Have we spent too much effort in searching for Luck till we neglect the HAPPINESS that has always been with us all these while?

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!

My favourite character in the cartoon, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" got to be the Cheshire Cat. I remember this part where Alice asked for directions from the cat. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” asked Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the cat. “I don’t much care where,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the cat. - Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.- Isn't that very much the same in life? If you do not have a definite goal in life which you want to acheive, then does it really matter where you go or what you do NOW? Do not forget, "Failing to plan is planning to fail!"

Take a look at the sky! 望一望天空!

Image
Anor extract from the book I'm reading. . . The original text :- 望一望天空 不论你现在正在做什么,暂时停下来,望一望天空。 上面或许繁星点点。。。或许乌云密布。。。 或许正飘着细雨。。。也或许。。。彩霞满天。。。 偶尔,望一望天空吧! 虽然日复一日。。。虽然天空依然。。。 但是,你是否曾问过自己,最后一次仰望天空,是多久以前的事? 所以。。。就在这一刻,就在现在。。。 抬起头,望一望天空吧! Take a look at the sky! No matter what you are doing now, stop for awhile & look up at the sky. The sky may be filled with brightly lit stars, dark clouds, drizzling rain or even beautified by a rainbow. Do take a look at the sky occasionally! Days go by, the sky may still be the same sky. But ask yourself, when was the last time you take a good look at the sky? So, right now at this very moment, lift ur head & take a look at the sky! This is the sky I was looking at in the morning of CNY Day 1 which was also V-Day! Somehow, the sky ALWAYS seem so much nicer from the patio of Gpa's hse. Of coz, the kampung air was much fresher there as well. Not forgetting the peaceful feeling & chirping of the birds, all worries & troubles just evapor

Ohana's CNY!!

As usual, we went back to Gpa's hse for CNY celebration!! I'm always looking fwd to this day, it's 1 of the most impt occasion of my life e'yr. Growing up in a BIG family, I love the warmth of us doing every big or little things tgt. It's the companion that counts! Outside 5th aunt's hse with her own self made 桃花树. This yr, we forsake 情人桥 for a dock nearby. The dock was closed; so in the middle of the bridge, the floor was lifted up. We have to climb over from the outside of the bridge. Check out below pic for the "dangerous" acts & a scared face. =P Next, we went to a bean curd place; svc was lousy & over priced food suxs. But that was 1 of the few places which was still over at the wee hrs. Beggars can't be choosers. It's definitely a good place to chill out & chat though, coz the food take hrs 2b served. =P 2nd night of CNY was BBQ night! Gpa long requested for us to have a BBQ night. Of coz, his request is an order. We're gl

HAPPINESS helps the heart!

Read this on Today Papers, so here to share with my dear readers. =) LONDON - You've hear it before: To avoid a heart attack don't smoke, eat right and exercise. But it may also help to be happy, a new study says. Even if you're grumpy by nature, just try to be cheerful. Researchers at Columbia University rated the happiness levels of more than 1,700 adults in Canada with no heart problems in 1995. After a decade, they examined the 145 people who developed a heart problem and found happier people were less likely to have had one. The study was published online yesterday in the European Heart Journal . The paper's lead author, Dr Karina Davidson of Columbia University Medical Centre, said happy people were more likely to have a healthier lifestyle. It could also be there is an unknown genetic trait that predisposes people to be happy and have less heart disease. Other experts said happiness itself could result in a healthier heart compared to emotions such as stress or

Let him/her paint your world! 让她/他为你描绘!

Grade A friend lend me a book & highly recommend that I shld read. =) For those who knows me well, I take the longest time to read a book, watch a show on VCD/DVD. (I still owe Sy her book titled, "He's not that into you." & Miao Chin her DVD on Buddha's teachings; but I did tell them I would take a SUPER LONG time to finish with it & return to them.) So, 1 fine day, seeing this book, "Haru 的一天" slowly becoming a PR of my study desk, I decide to flip the pages & start reading it. Came upon this chapter which I find it pretty meaningful & the next day saw my cousin blogs abt the different thinkings of a guy & a girl. So I decided to share this chapter with my dear readers as V-Day is ard the corner too. Let me show you the original text of the chapter/article:- 让他为你描绘 在跟一个人真正相处之前,我从不知道,对两个二十多年在不同环境中长大的男女而言,相遇后,一起生活并照顾彼此,竟是如此辛苦的一件事。 有人说,男人不擅长表达自己,而女人虽然擅长表达,却欠缺宽容对方的能力。 女人都希望在亲口说出自己的想法之前,男人已经猜出了她的心思,但事实上,男人根本搞不懂女人到底想要些什么。 就这样,男人跟女人,常常会有摩擦

Lyn's 2nd baby gal has arrived!!!

Mummy asked, "Why are you always so excited over the birth of your friends' babies?" My answer was, "Coz it's a new life; 1 addition to the earthlings' population. And I feel that it's a GOOD thing 2b happy abt." At that moment, I have a secret wish, "Mummy, one day I'll find a gf & get married. Then we (my wife & I) would make you excited & happy over the birth of our baby too." Look how soundly this little one slps in the arms of Aunt Stace. . . Coz got cushion mah! wahaha *lol* Den when Uncle Ivan carries her, they(the aunties) tried to wake her up by disturbing & pulling out her pacifier! Poor baby cried so loudly & till her whole face went red like tomato. ( o ~_~ o ) As I carry her in my arms, I felt a sense of warmth. In fact, it should have been the other way round, my hug should provide warmth to her little body. Perhaps, it's the calling of Fatherhood which gave me that sense of warmth. Age has caught u

Hotel Michael-ed!

A BIG Thank You to Diane for inviting us to stay over at Hotel Michael!! =) It was a GREAT night talking crap, playing games & laughing till mad. Welcome to Hotel Michael!! Are you ready to see the interior? Eagle Ivan welcomes you to our room!!! Simple & nice decor. =P The only downside was, the bathroom door can't be locked.

Changes. . .

Like what I've told afew persons ard me, this yr wld be a yr of changes for me. BIG changes & small changes. If u were to ask me, I wld say, these changes are positive to me in one way or another. So, wat are the changes expected? 1) I've quited 4D. (Simple reason, I've finally signed up a life insurance & I'm using my mthly 4D $$ to pay for this.) 2) Next, I quited mj. (My mj kakis are so gona be disappointed to hear this, I noe.) 3) I quited alcohol. (This sounds unbelievable & disappointing to some as well. But yah, it's true. For the sake of my own health plus to speed up the process of shedding that beer belly, I just hafta do it. I can still go Lunar & watch Qiqi but strictly no alcohol, pls. =P) 4) I'm "forcing"/motivating myself to exercise at least 3 times a wk. I definitely hope I keep to this resolution myself. Coz I'm gaining mass & if I don't exercise enough, these mass wld become fats. So, it's either fats
