Simple Thoughts

I guess we do complain too much~

This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don’t
always manage to do.

I am thankful…

1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep
with me and not with someone else.

2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes,
because that means she is at home & not on the streets.

3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.

4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have
been surrounded by friends.

5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have
enough to eat.

6. For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the
sunshine.

7. For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning
because it means I have a home.

8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it
means that we have freedom of speech.

9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means
that I can hear.

11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have
clothes to wear.

12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it
means I have been capable of working hard.

13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it
means that I am still alive.

So I guess this is human nature, that when spring comes, we all just want to clean and tidy up everything, or why would there be something called “Spring Cleaning” no?

Well, I’ve been cleaning, procrastinating. Just a few days ago I was cleaning my inbox and hard disk and came across a few quite meaningful emails/forwards/stories/whatnots so just so I will post them here soon, but I am not posting them just for the heck to get more posts, I just really feel that those stories are really meaningful and worth reading ^^

I know I had already posted this on my xanga already, so I apologize to all those who have to read it again…  and for the repentant for the redundancy and yes, I am showing off I know, just because… well… I know

To my fellow curious Chinese friends,

I have finally found where the new word “hea” comes from.

happy + 一下= ‘hea’

happy + jat haai take the ‘H’ from happy and ‘e’ from the Chinese pronounciation of ‘happy’ with a twist and ‘a’ from 一下’s 下. And there you have it “hea”

^^ cheers

So I finally managed… after days of pondering, I have finally decided to change my msn password to get rid of all those … virus (? you call them?) The fact was that they used another server and hacked into my msn and used it to send messages… but I just missed that password I had for about 10 years! its been a habit, like something apart of me… but I know I must…

After I changed my password, I had to mood to even remove my email from that newsgroup… which use to be active, but now… it has become a place for spammers to go…

it is time for some change, something I should do for myself ages ago…~

I guess… as I titled it… Look towards the beautiful bright future.

So I found this email I received almost 8 years ago, This is what was written:

Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before scrolling down to the answer of this one.

Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates: Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He’s had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening. Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn’t had any extramarital affairs. Which of these candidates would be your choice?

Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.

Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt Candidate B is Winston Churchill Candidate C is Adolph Hitler And by the way: Answer to the abortion question if you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Somehow, I chose Candidate A… don’t ask why… 6th sense? And for the abortion, I said… not sure… if there is still a slim chance, it is still a chance

Something to reflect on about

“Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased.
Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken.
But it is inscribed on a heart, and there it shall remain forever…”

So true~

Today, I was on Xanga and Facebook and came across a friend’s profile, it was a sweet picture of him and his girlfriend. His girl friend for almost 3 years

Reflecting back 4 years ago, he asked me out, he asked me for a total of 5 times and asked me to be his girlfriend for a total of 4 times in 3 years, but each time I said no, because:

1. I didn’t have feelings for him

2. we didn’t know each other well enough

3. …?

Now looking at the pictures with him and his girlfriend, I thought, if I had said yes than, could it be me in those pictures?
sadly, I don’t know, perhaps it was fate, maybe just maybe, if we did attempt to go out, perhaps we would have already broken up, we perhaps cannot even be friends, maybe our hearts would have been broken into tiny pieces.

OR, we could have been as happy as he is, now with his girlfriend, yet I don’t regret the decision I’ve made … they look sweet, right here, right now: (if you are reading this, please understand I just want to wish them all the very best in their relationship. yet, it is in the past, since it is unchangeable try to change the future instead

Chance is important, yet, fate is even more.
