Eeverything that irritates you about others, is your key to understanding yourself.
What angers you in another person is an unhealed aspect of yourself. If you had already resolved that particular issue, you would not be irritated by its reflection back to you.

Visit to Singapore

Had a visit to Singapore this Christmas. Just to visit my ex-roommate. Had been lost touch with her for more then six years.

She has a master degree, but became a house wife after gave birth her first baby boy. And just gave birth the second child - a baby girl this June.

Financially, the family just doing fine. Of course no luxury stuff like she used to buy anymore.

Priority for life : Kids
Center of life: Kids
Talk the most: Kids

Seeing her, I just wonder, can I be a housewife? I guess I know the answer.

Anyhow, I was amazed with her way of carry up the kids.

She always talk to the boy, "ok, 30 more minutes, I am going to switch of the TV"
"Ok, 10 more minutes, we are going out, please get ready"
She always tell the kids what's next before the action, and this will not giving the kids a shock.

Even for the six months baby girl, she will say: "oh oh, gal gal hungry, wait for 5 munites, mummy is preparing dinner" or " Mummy is going to bath you.

Compared to the "Chinese style" of "PARENT HIGH AUTHORITY" style, I really amazed by her way of parenting skill...

Bless you, my friend.

Untittled

Think back over the last few days, - how many times have we felt appreciation towards another? How many times have we thought about another: 'what a lovely smile', or 'she is so nice', or 'such a kind man', or any of a myriad of other appreciative thoughts. Did we express them? Did we come up to her and say: 'you are so nice'? And why not? Why did we stop divine grace from flowing freely from my heart? Do we want to change the world to the better? This is it, this is how we start

To be happy

Five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

Above five "simples" rules look easy hor...Still learning "hard"...

偷得半日闲

Made an excuse, escape from the office.
bought 2 jazz CDs,
just after rain.
back home,
nice coffee,
good book.

I feel so peaceful, so relax...
Life is so good.

All is going according to plan. Trust that there is a bigger picture. Trust that life is unfolding as it should.

Helping Hand

If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

I am only as free as I imagine myself to be. There is nothing ''out there'' that's holding me down, - I am limiting myself only with my own imagination. And my greatest limits are not even the ''cannot'' and the ''should not'', but the places where my imagination hasn't yet gone at all. There has never been a better time for me to open my eyes, let the imagination soar and see what more is possible.

All emotions grow in size when practiced regularly. Practice love to have more love, practice hate to have more hate. Practice kindness to have more kindness, practice depression to have more depression. The choice is ours as always.

Quote of the day: Hapiness

There is no way to happiness. Hapiness is the way. Happiness does not come from seeking new landscapes, but from having new eyes on the same life you've always been living.

50 Ringgit Notes

When we withdraw from the ATM machine, most of the time 50 ringgit note comes out.

I still remember, when I was a kid, my late father always get ready a bag of ceiling and a lots of small notes before he started his business for a day.

But seems the world had changed a lot. As a consumer we have to spare small note to buy things. “Business man” seems not keen to do business with you if you come with “big” notes like 50 ringgit notes…

I quite understand and I always keep some small notes but some time will run out of small notes too, Guess what had happened when I run out small notes?

News Paper
I wanted to buy news paper. I always go to that same stall to buy news paper, one of the mornings, I run out small notes and I ask the boss if they have the change, guess what? The “boss” ask me to buy news paper elsewhere??? I felt unbelievable, and as he wishes, now I buy me news paper elsewhere as he wish.

Sweet Corn
I love sweet corn, and I always buy at the same stall too every Thursday in “pasar malam”, yeah, come to this special day that co-incidentally I run out small notes again.
Hahaha…. The boss said: “you go else where to buy something first, get your note changed and then only you come and buy from me”. Hahaha….. I just laugh and left.

Lucky not everyone is like that. Another stall that I always visit in the morning for my breakfast, the lady boss said, no worry, you take it first, pay her later, doesn’t matter.
Hahaha… now I become a “loyal fans” for her.

Satisfaction

Came to the month end closing, we had achieved another sales target. We were performed well for the past 6 months. Hahaha... so happy. Just a short note to record my happiness, also to share my happiness with freinds.

Hm... Tomorrow is another month, got to set another target to hit. Achievement lead to satisfaction. Satisfaction lead to self confident, self confidents lead to another achievement. lol... The achievement was not done only by me, but by our team, from every one in the company. Yes, as a team, we can do it.

Have five days Holidays started tomorrow. Selamat Hari Raya to all Malaysians.

A simple world? Achievable?

I like to look at kids, I admire kids, simple world, less worries, less conflic (who knows, may be they have their problem that we "adult" always overlook or do not take it seriously). Anyhow, I am trying to live in a simple way.

But how do we define the word "simple"? Simple may means differently to diffrent person.

Can I achieve a simple life, but if I still want :
1. good career
2. cozy home
3. nice car
4. delicious food
5. Beautiful cloths
6. Good movie
7. soothing music
8. the aroma of coffee
9. passionate love
10 warm companions
11 challenging outing
12. green plants
13. healthy life
14. Calming yoga session
15. chatting with freinds
16. dancing class
17...

OMG, I thought I live quite simple but when I list down all what I enjoy, it is getting more and more hahaha...

I think what ever we do, the important thing is be contented and enjoy every single moment. Priority is peace in mind.

Tell you what, I do ever enjoy the moment cleaning my toilet... hahaha..

Have a good Sunday.

Diamond

A friend asked me, why I named my blog as "Diamond"??

lol...... May be only my "old" freinds know why... My "Kindergartenmate" & my "school mate" will know why... hahaha... sorry it is not that you are not my good friend neither I am materialistic, no, not at all, but is a task for you, for me to know and for you to find out? okay? hahaha....
