Faith in Family and True Friends

I do not envy those with many acquaintances. The relationship is just too loose. They slip away when you are falling.

I envy those with a few or even only one close friend. The relationship is stronger. They back you up when you are falling.

I envy even more those close to their family. The relationship sticks! They let you fall, they feel the pain, they go through it with you, they prepare you so that you are stronger even when they are not close by your side.

Double-edged Sword

Internet can make someone a star overnight, but there are times when it goes unhealthy and causes harm than good.

I was browsing through internet, and watching parody video on nighahiga channel. The latest was on Rebecca Black's song, Friday. People are saying that the song was ridiculuos - the lyrics, the voice, the whole video clip. Some posted hatred comments, asking her to just die. Gosh...

Another video is on the bully in school in Australia. Casey and Richard. In the video, Richard was seen to bully and pick up a fight with Casey. It has been going on for 3 years, and when everything piles up, Casey then brutally smacked Richard down. The video goes to youtube, and Casey gets the support, while Richard is hated as if he is Gadaffi, hated by the world.

I am not saying that Richard is right, BUT.. come on... they are kids. Right, that they need to learn their lesson, but WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? Posting your harsh and hatred comments. In the long run, it will never be helpful, not to Casey nor Richard.

Internet provides information. Information is Power. Power is double-edged sword - use it right and it will do you good and vice versa.

Dreams

"Dream big and you will have big problem

Dream small and you will have small problem

Do not have a dream, and you will have no problem"

We all have the right to choose :)

Happy Birthday, Mom...

Last year, around this time (lunar calendar: the exact same day), My family and I were in Bali. I was diving, and later at night, we were going to have dinner in Jimbaran beach side.

That was all planned for Mom's birthday =D

Another year, she and dad are celebrating it at home, my sis in Medan and Me, here, in Singapore.

No matter how far we are.. Happy Birthday, Mom :)

Love you~

Linda

Gratitude

"Thank you for all your kindness all this while. "

That's one of the line in the message. Gosh... It made my day!

It reminds me of a saying:

"In this life, it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that make us happy"

I am grateful that I have been provided with the opportunity to help.

I am grateful that I have the ability to help.

I am grateful that there is still gratefulness in human kind.

I am most grateful to know that in someone's opinion there is still kindness in me.

2 Years of Good Job

Today is exactly my 2 years with the current company. Here I am at home on Medical Leave. Aiyooo....

Anyway, it's 2 years of doing good job, which I know there are always rooms for improvement. But still so far I deserve a pat on my back.


Some dates just stick forever I think. Because they have meanings. The day when I started my first day with real job, I cannot remember what I expect. With time, I sort out my life back, life with goals...

What's wrong with March?

Gosh! This month is not really a good one for me. Let see...

Losing swimsuit in a cab, which never made its way back to me. How can I? Because I was feeling crappy on that day, and my little brain, like pooh-bear's, cannot think of anything else...

The crappy feeling took my two weeks away. Yeah, that's making me losing half of a month joy.

Then... I woke up one Sunday morning with fever! Gosh.... I know that I am feeling tired, low-energy, but fever??? 'Wo'-man~ It has never crossed my mind. The next thing I know, I spent two whole day sleeping, and not getting better.

When I saw doctors, they only have one advice for me. What's that? "Don't get too stressed". Last time, I can easily say that I am not stressed over work. Long hour work does not mean stressed, no? Now, since every doctor tries to convince me that I am down because of stress, I am not sure if I am not stressed.

Best of all~ I thought I am facing so called relationship problem. Not man-woman kind of relationship, but it's more like you-you-me-me kind of thing. Ah~ I can never understand why I cannot satisfy all people, when I know that I do not have to, but I am trying to, at the end the same result still I am not able to. It's mouthful.

I can only say I should treasure those friends that I have fought with and talked it out and befriended again. Yeah... I know friends that I hang out a lot with, but unable to straight things out. So I just leave it 'curly and crumpled'. Learn and move on with my life, with all cautious act whenever dealing with them. Difficult life? Oh yes, it is... Thus, resolution of the months to come is "Be Kinder to Myself".

I just hope March can end faster, which I do not know I feel that it will solve my problem. You know... time heals me~ And to think it out of the box, out of Singapore, Japan has more serious problem than me, and they are hanging on, why can't I?

This post is easy... No thinking and everything is just sort of blurt out... So don't confuse if you cannot get the meaning of some phrases or words, and wondering why the hack that word appears there, etc. Just move on... don't have too take it too seriously. :D

Eh? Why am I feeling a curve up at both ends of my lips? Feeling better~

Prayer for Japan

Let us pray for Japan!

Give them the Strength in difficult time

Give them Hope so they can see light, a Better tomorrow

Give them Love, so that they can continue to Live on

*For People whose area are affected by the Earthquake, Tsunami and the Leaking Nuclear Plant - March 2011

Cooling down~

I realize I had posted a harsh post! Phew... Life is hard on me lately or it's me who is hard on myself. I am no strong lady and as weak as jelly~

I know myself, when I am angry, I am going to blurt everything out or it's just shown on my face! But... give me time and I will heal!

ALL of us, need a time out from time to time! Why some people could not understand this?

We need it when things are not going so well in life! We need to stop and reflect!

We need it when we are angry! We keep ourselves away, so that we do not hurt others even more~

We need it when we feel exhaused! It's about balance!

Nothing lasts! Happiness don't last. Sadness and Anger won't last either!


Crappy Feeling that is Slightly Better~

PLEASE NOTE!

I do not have to say anything from now on...

You can stop pretending, because you will always be the 'goodie-goodie' for everyone, while I am starting to act like a bitch!
