spruced up guitar and the start of jetsetting days

Yeh...Success!

I didn't get a picture of the Canadian-made blue guitar so you'll just have to imagine it.

Jimmy was STUNNED to receive it.
Haha.
I bet he didn't expect anything of the sort at all.

My cg is very generous and it's a wonderful thing. :)

I'm off to Hong Kong tomorrow!
Wheee!

happy plot

I'm so excited!!
My cg has a big, "no-reason" surprise for one of the members.
Can't wait to see his/her expression!
Hee hee.

aquarium phenomenon

Occasionally, the fishes gurgle to each other stuff like:
"Let's go for a drink and chill out"
or
"Let's go cycling!"

About a month or two or three later, we eventually see it coming to pass.
It's not our fault, you understand.
It's all thanks to our varied working hours and commitments.

But here you go, another time WE MADE IT. :)














Then after that, we all adjourned to

to undo all the exercise we had done by guzzling down













And while I took off to meet Mum, the rest stayed on to continue their crime spree by tantalizing their taste buds at lagoon hawker.

Oh, for a bowl of the tastiest fishball noodles with extra vinegar.
It is late at night and I am hungry.
I will not put any pictures of this lest I succumb.

YES!
Inuyasha overcomes his weakness and emerges with the power to wield his weapon!

The principles of battledom are the same across the board:
Victory is administrated in everyday life when there's victory in your own heart.

kindness part 2

As you can probably tell from my last entry, this one word "kindness" has been floating around in my mind (especially active in the wee hours of the morning when i am trying to sleep).

Struck me that sometimes we can be trying so hard to be "real" and honest that we forget to be kind.

I remember someone once told me that telling the truth must always go hand in hand with mercy. I wasn't impacted with the deeper meaning of it back then, but it's starting to make itself known to me now.

It's not about lying, but it's about choosing to say the other, more encouraging truth.
Neither is it about the past, but about choosing to live in the present and see into the future.
Sometimes it's about ignoring the upfront question, and choosing instead to answer the unasked question.

Do yourself a favor, be kind to others and you'll realise you're being kind to yourself.
And sometimes, the converse is true: As you're being kind to yourself, you'll learn how to be kind to others.

kindness

When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.
Abraham Joshua Heschel

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Constant kindness can accomplish much.
As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
Albert Schweitzer

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness.
Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
George Sand

Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
Confucius

My Ah Ee sms-ed me this in the morning:

"Instead of your shame
You shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion
They shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land
They shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs."
Isaiah 61:7

It's awesome to have a friend among family.

The Golden Compass

Finally, someone does tribute to the polar bear and gives it a talking part in a movie!! :)

just the thought of it...

Thanks y'all for praying for my granny!
The scope came out all clear...and there's no apparent problem.
She's going back for a check up on Tuesday, but it should be all okei!
*big happy grin*

Met up with the trailblazing (okei, the first) Melb gang for lunch today, and it was good and happy as always.
We're planning when to fly over for Lani's wedding in Dec.
Woo hoo ... Weddings are always happy.
Now, I need to start looking for clothes, and accessories, and shoes, and ... more accessories?
Cos apparently, the dressing up at Indo weddings is a BIG DEAL.
But oh, can't wait to catch up with everyone else! :)
And the thought of flying ... anywhere ... is almost always a nice one!

what do you remember?

Memory is a powerful and mysterious thing.

The person we grow into is often a result of the memories we allow to remain in us.

Forgetting the mistakes.
Remembering the lessons.

Forgetting the injustices.
Remembering the kindness.

Forgetting the disappointments.
Remembering the rescues.

Forgetting what was taken.
Remembering what was given.

Forgetting the regrets.
Remembering the hopes.

Forgetting the fears.
Remembering the dreams.
