Happiness
What makes you really happy?
I realize that I find the real happiness in the small things that I do.
I find my happiness in reading the books written by my favorite writers I find my happiness in listening to the songs sang by my favorite singers I find my happiness in my clean and organized room I find my happiness in seeing my cute little niece talks I find my happiness in writing this short post for my blog I find my happinenss looking at the photos of my parents I find my happiness when I think I had made someone feel good about themselves
I find happiness when I am planning for my future, knowing that I have purposes in life
Finally, some people said happiness is only real, when it's shared. Thus... I am sharing it with you!
Wish everyone can find their very own happiness~

For (a lot of) Reasons, We Exist!
We all wanna be somebody.
Most people die...
Leave a name which is being mentioned from time to time...
Leave a story of their life which is being told from generation to generations, or...
There are some who make it big, real big; their name is written down, their story is then being published, or be part of the curriculum in the history, physic, or social classes...
Mother Teresa once said:
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." (Exactly! you can be somebody who is useful, helpful, being remembered for the good you've done, by just helping one who is really in need)
Then Dalai Lama loves to include the following in his prayers:
"So long as space remains
So long as sentient beings remain,
I will remain,
In order to help in order to serve,
In order to make my own contribution."
We all exist for reasons. We are all born to live with compassion, to help who are in need. We are all born to be Somebody.

扎西德勒 (Zha Xi De Le)
Greeting from Jiu Zhai Gou~
Zha Xi De Le! According to the people there, it's the best greeting that ever exists, in chinese it means ji xiang ru yi, which wish other good fortune and receive everything that they desire.
Back home is good, but it's always fun to see and experience, the culture, the life of others. In this China trip, half of the time were spent in the mountain areas where the minority of Tibetian, known as dong zang, lives.
I salute how most of them still keep their culture so strongly; their costume, the way they greet others, and their belief in the power of the earth and God.
Along the way of our bus ride to different places, I can see those small flags in red, yellow, green, blue and white colors which are representing fire (sun), earth (land), jungle (according to Wikipedia it symbolizes water), sky and air, respectively. It's the prayer flags.
I love to listen the story of every simple thing in their daily life. Most of the time, it's based on certain belief. It's just interesting =D
Anyway, my second night back in Singapore and my room still as messy as 14 days before, with an additional luggage of laundry to do.
Took about 1,000+ photos and 80+ videos... Let me sort it out this weekend~
Best thing about the trip is that Parents were enjoying themselves and we are all back home safely. :)
P.S. My niece (older one) is hospitalized, hope she is recovering soon.

The Peak
I wonder when was the last time that I ever have a clean page in my agenda. The last two weeks are the peak time. Today, I need to paste a sticky note to a page for 1 Oct 2010, as I am running out of space to jot down my to do list.
It's kinda fun, actually, despite the restless days. Time passes so fast, that I do not even realize that lunch time has passed, and not long after that it's time to go home. Best part, after wondering around, settling stuff, then I am finally home, bath, online, sleep, and everything starts all over again: busy day, slower evening, and quite night.
P.S. On my way to the airport, picking up mom and dad, and tomorrow, around the same time, we will be in the cab to the airport to Chengdu.
My first trip to China will be 'OLD' with aunties and parents and hopefully Good. Have never been to a family trip withouth my sis and her family. How I wish they can make it to this trip. Hahh~
