mmm, so i went lifting today..........

hahahahaha.........what?! nah....... Not lifting weights... just some spirit lifting.. :P

Always when someone is down, you be there listen and encourage.. ( i sometimes suspect i am a bit blunt and direct, but sometimes, i am quite creative in comforting ppl too! ) hahaa

And remember to give thanks.......appreciate.... tell from your experiences.....

Give them a real heart....no matter how reluctant you are.. how SMART you are.. (always think we r the smarter one right..haha)... Just make sure you DON"T PRETEND!, Give them your REAL heart.... ppl sense that!

mm.. So 2 stories today:
1.) Soon-to-be-diver-though-failed-this-moment
ok, so she failed her diving license. she is sad, she cried.
I shared to her my diving experiences.
I told her about learning step by step.

I told her about we need to refine our skills as we dive more and more.. it's a PROCESS. Not a 1-day thing. Even til today, i logged 26dives.. (err, not a lot i know), i still got sick many times.. i still feel cold and scratch my leg when lose balance and hit the corals... i still failed to have neutral buoyancy sometimes... So what?? I can only IMPROVE..with my TIMING. ...

32years staying on LAND and with JUST 4DAYS(not even FULL 4days) under water and you can't get used to it.. you feeling bad?? COME ON!!!!......

mmm.. :D show her video on Team Hyot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJMbk9dtpdY

His needs..

mm, so on the way back to ipoh.. i talked to my darling.

"Question.. what are the 5 things that i have which make u think that i am suitable for you?"

1. Spiritual Maturity.. Not perfected yet but there are some. :E
2. Can relate to my family.. ( ha! that's my strength ok.. :P )
3. common interests.. as in sports, do things together...etc..( i will take that as Recreational partnership)
4. Can take care of family, children.. can cook, can clean up sometimes.. ( ha! clean up... haha... well, anyway, acceptable to him.. :o )
5. matured in handling finances.

"Question.. what are the 5 things that you want to see in your life partner.. as in i am not suppose to be taken for example.. and you have to think yourself.. generally."

1. Spiritual Maturity. I think this is the most important one.
2. Physical appearance... ( hahaha! men will always be men )
3. common interests..
4. domestic support
5. faithful

"OK OK.. your turn to ask me... "
"ask la ask la.."

he smiled. ( as predicted)
" ok.. what are the top 5 characters/criterias you want in your ideal life partner"

1. Integrity. He say and do. Say less, do more.
2. The way on how he handle extreme pressure. As in, financial crisis, family problem, others problem, etc etc.. whether he is the one that got bitten easily and give up, or he will rise up once he adjust himself.. never give up.
3. Family commitment. Committed to bring up the family.. take care of children as in children's education, how to bring up children..etc.
4. Responsible.
5. Honesty and Openness, as in he will discuss his problem with me.. willing to listen to my opinion and discuss thing through.. Not ego and always want to be strong in front of me, but just to be himself and sometimes understand that there are moment where a man is weak too..

"ok..2nd questions?"

"What is happiness to you?"
"what??.. as in what will make me happy?"
"wow..that's a lot man............."

hahaha..and i bla bla bla............. as if filling up a blank cheque. haha, Amen to the things i said first.. :D

:D So quite a wonderful conversation and get to know my darling more today. :D
Girls.. we likes this type of meaningful conversation, don't we?

3years 4 months and 19days

after so long.... today, it's MGC outing at Sg Batu.

I saw a familiar figure. One of his friend..
and then.. i saw a familiar car.
and then.. i saw another familiar girl.
and... i saw him.

Can't describe the actual emotion within me.
No emotion detected.

Weird. Thing has changed.
Perhaps, TIME really does heal.

:)

some thoughts

I suddenly found out the reason of why am i often get pissed off with people.... from the book.. "Don't sweat the small stuff at Work" by Richard Carlson.

So i would like to note down some of the extracted paragraphs from Chapter 2-become less controlling..

When i talk about being "controlling", I am referring to unhealthy attempts to manipulate the behavior of others, having the need to control your environment, insisting on having things be "just so" in order to feel secure, and becoming immobilized, defensive or anxious when other people don't behave to your specifications-- the way you think they should be. To be controlling means you are preoccupied with the actions of others and how those actions affect you.

******
What hurts the controlling person is what goes on inside--his feelings and emotions. The key element seems to be a lack of willingness to allow other people to fully be themselves, to give them space to be who they are, and to respect--- really respect--the fact that people think differently. Deep down, a controlling person doesn't what other people to be themselves, but rather the image of who they want them to be. But people aren't an image of who we want them to be-- they are who they are. So , if you are tied to an imagined image, you are going to feel frustrated and impotent a great deal of the time. A controlling person assumes that he knows what's best, and by golly, he's going to make other people see the folly of their ways. Within the need to control, there's an inherent lack of respect for the opinions and ways of others.

*****
When you can make allowances in your mind for the fact that other people see life differently than you do, you will experience far less internal struggle. In addition, as you become less controlling, you will be a lot easier to be around. You can probably guess that most people don't like to be controlled. It's a turnoff. It creates resentment and adversarial relationships. As you let go of your need to be so controlling, people will be more inclined to help you; they will want to see you succeed. When people feel accepted for who they are rather than judged for who you think they should be, they will admire and respect you like never before.


Wow, the highlighted part really speak right straight to me!!!!!!!!
I think i must admit sometimes i feel this way especially to a lot of talkers! Ha!May be i already assume they are talkers.. prejudice!!

Mm, i need to improve in this area...

So i want to thank this book to help me to be self-aware. :)

A FULL for the Bridge Marathon

A good reminder

mm, i was not really in a good mood today.
Pressure preparing for SLN trip...
Passing of jobs from a colleague...
Irritating comments from friends.. zzz!
Being force to like something even though i don...
Seeing people making progress in many things...

Ah, i wonder, am i stagnant?.. I felt bad..... Should/Should i not... What if... What would it be... imagine... etc etc... many things go through my mind...

And i came across this from daily bread.. mm, it reminded me something.. :) Great~

While visiting a US Civil War battlefield in Virginia, I was struck by a story about an army unit that arrived too late for a major battle. The troops had stopped to loot a camp abandoned by their enemy. By taking what they felt they needed, they could not accomplish their mission.

That seems to describe the failure of the prophet Elisha’s servant Gehazi, who sought money and clothing from Naaman, a Syrian military commander (2 Kings 5:20-25). Elisha told Naaman how to be cured of his leprosy, but he refused any gift or payment from him (v.16). Gehazi, however, decided to get something for himself (v.20). In a stinging rebuke, Elisha said to Gehazi: “Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing . . . ? Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever” (vv.26-27).

The desire for personal gain can be a snare in our service for the Lord. It may be the subtle lure of recognition or the fatal attraction of financial reward. Any motive that changes our focus from giving to God to getting from Him poses a real spiritual danger.

Greed makes us believe that we deserve what we desire. That leads us down the wrong road. May God give us the wisdom to avoid the sin of Gehazi. — David C. McCasland

God’s riches fill up our supply,
Whatever we may need,
So we can then be generous,
And not controlled by greed. —Sper

Live to give.

Working on site..

hahaa.. some ppl snap my pic on site...haha, cool ar? :P

i like to think

i think i am someone who like to think quite a lot.
and lately, i learned something about doing, and keep doing.
And as i move along doing it, i feel more and more alive.

it does not feel good at all knowing that not a lot of people like me in some place.
it does not feel good either having somebody disappoint me.
it does not feel good facing rejection.

and i remember the "anyway" rules i posted some time ago.
Be succeed anyway! :)

Having the thoughts of how should i spend if i really earning $120K monthly.
The first thing that surprise me is, i used to think that's not possible, but now, i think there might be chances that i could have that capability. It overwhelmed me. Regarding on how should i spend the $$, I think i need to ask Him.

I still remember my prayer 3years ago, "God, no matter what happen to me, one day, i might leave you, but please, Don't ever let me go, Hold me back."

I need to always remind myself of that. The request i asked from Him. mmmmmm...

yupe, i like to think.

Cute puppy

hahaha, first one is our ah bee!!!
