Happy Labour Day everyone :) A break from work for most of us..yay!

A reason to rejoice

2011-03-23T11:34:00.000+08:00

There is always something to give thanks for everyday :) There are many things to be grateful for, which we often do not realise until we do not have them.

Food

Air

Family

Friends

Peace

and most of all, give thanks for the life God has given us :)

Life is a journey full of ups and downs, but we can continue to live life to the fullest as we persevere.

Life

2011-03-18T14:19:00.000+08:00

Life is really unpredictable, with the news headlines filled with news of earthquakes, strife and many other undesirable situations. We can plan, but no one but God knows what the future holds, or even what will happen tomorrow. Hence, live life with thankfulness, joy and peace and let us pray for the countries especially Japan that it will be restored as soon as possible.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

Dealing with disappointments

2011-01-03T20:52:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year 2011 everyone. For the first post of this year, I'll like to start off with a difficult encounter but unavoidable situation in life- Disappointment. I believe it is something everyone is bound to go through since life is not perfect and is of course never a bed of roses. After much observation, I think that disappointment usually arises when we have placed trust and hope in something or someone, and things do not turn out as expected. Since we cannot escape disappointment, the best thing that we can do on our part is to be ready and also be able to adapt to unexpected outcomes. Most of all, I believe that depending on God can help us avoid and overcome the many disappointments in life.

On the practical side, one simple way to avoid disappointment is to never expect things to turn out as planned. This is not meant to say that we are to be pessimistic, rather we have to learn to control our emotions and be prepared for any obstacles and failures. For instance, in study and working life, no matter how well we've rehearsed and prepared for our presentation, there's always bound to be imperfections on that day. Moreover, we may even receive unpleasant or discouraging comments before and after we are done with the presentation. At this point of time, we definitely tend to feel disappointed. It would be a lie if we try to laugh or pretend to be happy, but most importantly it is our ability to pick ourselves up from disappointment.

From the very beginning, tell yourself that there will be hiccups during the event or presentation, and certain things may not turn out though we've prepared really hard. Next thing is to not simply absorb comments especially those that are obviously an attack on your self-esteem. If you've put in your best effort, disregard baseless criticisms. Moreover, we would be a fool to try to please everyone and there is no necessity for it as well since we're not doing it for them.

So, whenever you feel disappointed..assess the situation objectively. Ask yourself what the source of disappointment is, take any appropriate action (if any that could rectify or ease the situation) and above all, move on in life knowing that every situation encountered is a new lesson in life :)

The New Year

2010-12-20T00:40:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since my last blog post. This year has been really hectic and I really thank God for giving me strength to overcome the obstacles. When I reflect and look back, I could never have got through this year alone :) A brief run through for this year-I have met new friends, learnt to work with different people, and learnt to be a more objective person. As this year draws to a close in less than 2 weeks, it is time to bid farewell to 2010 and welcome the year 2011.

Usually, at this time of the year, many of us would be busy drawing up resolutions and plans for the new year. I believe this is a good practice as it helps us to set an aim and direction for our life. However, it is undeniably easy to make a plan but to really implement it is another story :) We start off being enthusiastic in the beginning but other things can crop up and hinder us from achieving our goals. This sometimes causes people to be discouraged and lose hope in their resolutions. In my humble opinion, here are some tips which may be useful:

1. Be practical
When setting a goal, bear in mind it is something we are aiming to achieve. Hence, set a realistic target instead of a goal that may look good but is actually really hard to achieve in one year.

2. Don't push yourself too hard
Life is unpredictable at times as unexpected issues may be a setback to what we have planned to do. In fact, failing to achieve one of the resolutions on your list doesn't mean the plan has failed. For example, if you face a difficult situation and are able to stay calm, you may have achieved one of your resolutions which is to stay positive and objective. With this, it is easier to move on and continue to carry on with life. Don't kick yourself when a resolution doesn't turn out, focus on the rest which are attainable.

3. Be flexible
In this ever changing environment, things can turn around 360 degrees in a short time. Plans may need to be totally changed, so our resolutions would be affected as well. Be prepared to adapt and let your resolutions flow in nicely according to the circumstances. For instance, if you've switched to a new workplace somewhere during the year, you might have new resolutions like to fit in with a new working environment and get on well with new colleagues.

I wish everyone Merry Christmas and have a great new year ahead!

Wrong target

2010-11-18T21:12:00.000+08:00

A robber ends up getting killed by the victim instead. Read more here.
On one hand, it seems to be tragic as the robber is so young, a 17 year old teenager. However, it was out of self-defense that the victim shot the robber. Moreover, the robber was armed with a machete.
A lesson to be learnt is there is no quick way to wealth or success, when we do it at the expense of others. Humble beginnings and working hard are the real cornerstones to true joy of success :)

Reaching our goals

2010-11-15T21:15:00.000+08:00

Without us realising, we're drawing to an end of 2010 :) It means time to list down resolutions for the new year or simply continue on from what has been left out this year. Honestly, goals are difficult to keep at time as life is full of suprises, it takes us on an unexpected road which may cause us to deviate or lose sight of our aims. But, it's never too late to start again as long as we can stay focus and never back down. Just keep moving forward, be thankful for whatever situation we are in, and we'll be one step closer to achieving our dreams :)

Rudyard Kipling
If

This poem used to be something most of us had to read back then in secondary school for English literature. During that time, it was only a subject for the sake of exams and I never grasped the true meaning despite having to read it almost everyday..and I when I googled it up and read it once..today it is so meaningful and has so many lessons in here :)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

November =)

2010-10-31T23:07:00.000+08:00

Time really flies! Tomorrow we would be ushering in the month of November, which is also the 2nd last month of the year....

For at least the next 2 months, my main resolution is to just keep moving forward no matter how bad things may turn out :) It is undeniable that we get disappointed, upset, angry and any other unpleasant feelings at some or many points of life..but letting these emotions overwhelm us stops us from staying objective and seeing the bigger picture.

What's life without challenges..it is a fact that everyone goes through..the journey is never smooth sailing..but with all the tides and waves, we become a better and stronger person :)

Verse for the day..
Proverbs 3: 5-6

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Love :)

2010-10-29T08:50:00.000+08:00

This passage does give a lot of encouragement especially whenever we get upset or someone makes us disappointed, hurt or angry :) It also reminds us of the character to follow in our life..

1 Corinthians 13

Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The art of conversation

2010-10-17T16:09:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone :) Welcome to a brand new week and hope you are in the best of health.

Today's post is not really related to health, but rather how to engage in a meaningful conversation. Sometimes, when we are excited about something, we tend to talk non stop forgetting the listener has not said a word :)

A proper conversation involves two or more people involved and not just one person dominating and talking all the time. Hence, it is important to remember to give others a chance to express their views regardless of how much we have to say.

Listening more to others is also a great way to make new friends. As we let the other person talk, we learn more about him/her and they also feel really happy that we've lend them our ears :)

Lastly, how do we end a conversation? If we're not in a rush, just let the other person finish up what they are saying. On the other hand, if you're rushing for time, simply excuse yourself nicely, telling the other person you've got another appointment and will catch up with them some other time :)

We all do look forward to starting a great week..but sometimes things are not so smooth sailing. Nevertheless, it is a fact of life and it is up to us how we want to tackle the various issues.

Stay focus and keep looking forward :) It would save us a lot of energy as well as unnecessary frustration which would impact our health negatively.

When you feel down or discouraged, remember that the sun will continue to shine and there is always hope for life to go on :)

Obsession can be dangerous

2010-10-01T17:36:00.000+08:00

This was news in 2008, but one principle remains- to appreciate and be thankful of the looks we have. It is a heartbreaking video of irreversible damage done due to obsession with beauty. Of course, this is indeed a rare and very extreme case where the Korean model, Hang Mioku injected cooking oil into her face in hope of getting softer and smoother skin without paying for high cosmetic surgery fees. This incident happened about 20 years ago.

Every person has their physical flaws-no one is perfect. But one thing to bear in mind is that we should be thankful for the way we look. Besides, this is just one aspect of life and there are so many other things in life to look forward to :)

Obsession is dangerous because it causes people to act irrationally, hence making decisions which may have a detrimental or irreversible effect like in the case above. The fact that we need to dress properly and take care of our looks is nothing wrong-we should never try to be like someone else because each of us are unique and have our own strengths and weaknesses.

Too good to be true?

2010-08-28T14:45:00.016+08:00

This email basically states that you'll get a free laptop if you send the email to at least 8 people. It really sounds so simple and too good to be true. Sure enough, it turns out to be a hoax. In fact, the real Sony Ericsson has come out to clarify last year regarding this false email. There are many articles warning people about this, and some of them are as below:

Hoax: Ericsson Free Laptop

Sony Ericsson T18 Laptop for free?

Real promotions by legitimate companies usually won't carry out their promotions using chain email. They'll communicate directly with the public, or if not, they'll at least hire profession PR firms.

Tour guide scolds tourists

2010-08-14T21:17:00.000+08:00

Whenever you go on a tour, you'll most probably be brought to stop by certain shops to pick up souvenirs or some local health products. Logically, any shop would definitely wish to be chosen by tour groups as they can probably make a lot of money out of tourists. Of course to get to be on the list, the shops have to be selling something unique and be of reasonable quality. Nevertheless, the tour guides are usually paid some commission for bringing the tourists to the selected shops.

Well, nothing wrong with all those incentives but things might have gone a little too far if tour guides scold or force tourists to shop at those selected shops. About a month ago, this scenario played out in Hong Kong as one of the tourists recorded the tour guide scolding the tourists from China for spending too little. You can watch the video here.

As a result of this blow up, the tour guide had to make a public apology as it had sparked the anger of many parties including the China authorities. Indeed, there's always two sides of the story. Tourists can also be difficult people, having high demands and not being satisfied easily. Being a tour guide is also no easy job and the basic pay may not actually be very attractive considering the amount of work and time taken. However, tourists are still the customers and it is also their prerogative with regards to the amount they want to spend. Perhaps those products are just not to their interest or they find it to be of no use to them.

If you’re in the mood for all things glitzy and glamour, then Las Vegas would be the exact place for you. Casinos and hotels all in one stretch – don’t even think of sleeping on your weekend getaway as there are so many things happening at the same time. We only hope that you will remember what you did at the end of your city break!

Potomac River

On the other hand, if you want to soak in some culture and history, you should consider Washington DC as a city break destination. What better way to enjoy Washington’s many memorials and monuments than by joining a tour that will allow you to enjoy and experience the heart of America. Enjoy a cruise or rough it out on a kayak along the Potomac River to get a first hand view of the city skyline. For foodies, there are so many restaurants and cafes in the City that you surely do not have to worry about your stomach! You would probably only regret that you have such a short amount of time to do so much.

From New York to Las Vegas to Washington, the sky is the limit with City Breaks USA. So many things to see and do that you will definitely get out of your weekend getaway refreshed, rejuvenated and definitely looking forward to your next city break!
