Wednesday, October 17, 2007-ching- blogged on 12:55 AM Wednesday, September 19, 2007Life's not about money. Life is not about what sort of position or what sort of power you have. It's not about whether you are famous. It's not about whether or not you vacation in all the right places every year. Life's not about what clothes you wear and whether they have fancy labels that massively increase their price. Life is not about all these things. Life's not about who you've dated or who you are dating. Life's not about who your parents are or whom you know. Life's not even about what sort of grades you get in school; your parents and your teachers dont want to tell you that, but it's true. Life is not about these things. Life is about love. It's about whom you love and whom you hurt. Life's about how you love yourself and how you hurt yourself. Life's about how you love and hurt the people close to you. Life is about how you love and hurt the people who just cross your path for a moment. Life is about love. The opposite of love is not hatred. The opposite of love is indifference. Hatred is an extreme that destroys only a handful, but indifference destroys millions. Indifference destroys all energy and enthusiasm for the great pursuits of life. Where there is indifference, there is no sense of purpose. When we become indifferent to the passions and purposes of our lives, we begin to lead quiet desperation. Indifference separates; love unites. Indifferences doesn't care; love cares deeply. Indifference is hopeless; love is full of hope. Indifference is cynical; love believes. Indifference despairs; love rejoices. Indifference cannot be bothered; love get involved. Indifference is scarcity; love is abundance. Indifference is tired; love is energetic. Indifference represents soulless living. Love is the fruit of soulful living. Soulful living liberates us from desperation. Living soulfully means doing everything with your essential purpose in mind. Soulful relationships revolve around helping each other become the best-version- of- yourselves. And soulful relationships require soulful people. Soulfulness is a way of life, which once tasted becomes an obession. Soulful people have large and generous hearts, and they lavish their love without discrimination upon the people who wander into their lives. They live in a world of appreciation and abundance, they energize those who cross their path, and their love of life is contagious. Are you living soulfully?? Respect builds trust. We nurture this respects in two ways. First, simply learning to enjoy people. Taking the time to get to know them, listening more and speaking less, seeking to understand rather to be understood. By accepting other people for who they are with all their quirks, understanding thtat they have different experience of life and that those different experience have contributed to make them who they are today. With every encounter, seek to know people more. The second way we nurture respect is by taking time each day to sit in classroom of silence, to reflect on the true value of people and things. Some people spend time in classroom of silence by taking a long walk in quiet place, others spend time in the quiet of their church; some have a big comfortable chair in a corner of their home that serves as their classroom of silence. But one thing common to all of us: silence makes us take a look at who we are, where we are going, and the value we assign to relationships and things. We are all ignorant of the real value of certain relationships and things in our lives. Sometimes we are simply oblivious to it; at other times, we simply become a little self-absorbed and forget or disregard the value of things, people and opportunitis.We all lose sight of the true value of things from time to time, and as we lose sight of the true value of things we lose respect - for ourselves, for others, for the many talents, possessions, and opportunities that we have in life, and for life itself. -ching- blogged on 7:03 PM Monday, July 30, 2007Everyone seeks for perfection, wanting everthing to fulfill and fit in them nicely be it studies, love life, work and etc. But life does not always go well as what you desire for and its bound to have ups and downs along the way. The inevitable process of human life is full of troubles and troubles, worries and worries, unsatisfactions and all. All i can say is its never easy to stay focus in life and fight off the negative issues or perhaps its never possible. Moving on to another phase of life, whether i like it or not i still have to accept it. Always felt that i have lots of regrets back then but oh well they were all passe and i really dont hope for any in years to come. Anyway, some challenges that i threw myself to... Firstly, im gonna or rather i WANT to fast track my 4 years honours programme to 3 years, meaning to say having tighter schedule. Its seems kinda impossible as most people could is the most 3.5 years. Well, i could have just follow the schedule given to us by taking it slow and nice throughout the 4 years but why do i want to do it otherwise and go through so much trouble instead, people must be pondering. But im gonna give a damn try. On top of that, im so gonna take up a minor in business and finished it within the 3 years as well. The more impossible seems to be happening. Soooo my schedule need to undergo big revised, pray hard that it will be approved. Besides that, im aiming to go for student exchange programme which allows me to go for overseas studies for up to a year even.. tat's to strike hard and fight for it?? =p And lastly what i really wanna achieve end of the day is first class honours meaning CAP of 4.5 and above and at least A- in (Hons) thesis or final year project. Hilarious?? Impossible ?? or simple day dreaming?? =p Well, im clueless too.. But since i have given that a serious thought for days and i guess i just have to excute my plan and see how it goes. You will never know without trying. and to my dearest friends all out there... i believe every field or area has its own professsion, there's no such thing as silly or lousy job, so be contented with whatever course you are taking yea.. -ching- blogged on 9:17 PM Sunday, July 08, 2007New school life gonna begins in a month time, looking forward to it yet not...the thought of mugging kinda interest me in a way, yet i detest the feeling of going into a new environment and got to know people all over again. Super duper hate ice breaking this kind of stuffs and first week of school shall be damn sucky for sure man. Nothing fanciful lately except for a graduation cermony and my dear babe celine's birthday whereby she got kinda high that day and some towning over the weekends. Nothing to blog actually, here just to let u guys know that i haven been drowned by work YET. ( rite sheryl?? ) Another work week ahead .. Sighing big time Perhaps i got to learn from kenneth to be more optimistic in this area -ching- blogged on 11:24 PM Thursday, May 31, 2007But your dear friend here is super duper lazy to put in words, soooooooo pictures will do more of the talking alright. =) 8 days of life and death with 2 travel buddies, Bing hui and Jordan 16 May Nicety 2 buddies to make their way to meet me and off we travelled to airport for our noon flight to taiwan.   "Let's be friends" - which gave us lots of privileges being a youth  Off to look for a lodging  Metro train token, kinda cute rite??? =p  Hotel found!! And zoommm off for supper at shilin   That's what we do when we have lots of money to burn during the start of the trip.  After late night at shilin, headed back to our hotel. First night and hichew actually met this cabby driver who wants to gay with him... Almost couldn't take it laa.. " shui shou wo bu dong..." 17 May Moving off from Taipei to Illan and destintation of the day -> fushou farm    Whoaass..Guess what ?? We met a "gui ren". During our journey in the rail train, hichew asked me" the place we going is pronounce as fushou or fusou farm?" and so we talked across. And this lady who was sitting beside me turned out to be one of the staff working there... So.. Cool!!! She was our tour guide of the day and so nice of her to bring us for nice and cheap food and together we board the bus up to the farm.  See the lady infront? that's her and luckily with her around, if not we wouldn't have know the way to the bus interchange which was like 20 mins away from the railway.  Nice and cheap Xiaolong bao  After the quick lunch, it was the killing journey bus ride up the mountain. 4 hours of ride which caught us by surprised and with the turning here and there on the bumpy road, we were all on the verge of puking. Pathetic us with 3 people squeezing in 2 seats thanks to the jam packed bus.  Hoorraayy!!! Here we are finally... Something that caught us by surprised again.. The freaking temperature up there. Freezing cold with day time 10 degree celsius and night time as low as 3 degree. The most terrible night stay there, hell cold to death... And our hero hichew actually "survived" with just shorts and slipper during the 2 day there.  Our little hut for the night   Evening walk in the rain around the farm. See that guy there?? That's hichew's friend, who so happened was there on that day too. And the lady in red is a staff there who is also from Singapore and she was so contented to have same nationality visiting the farm.      Hot little steamboat for the chilly night  Whole Karaoke lounge to ourself. 5 dollars Sg per person from 8pm -1 am. Something hilarious happened that i must say. After 5 hours of singing we were on our way back to our little hut, and many a times we encountered the sudden gust of wind and the 3 scarily cats us have to dart and take cover here and there and then continued our walk in the hell darkness road back to our hut. 18 May Morning began with the friendly red lady touring us around and drove us up the the peak for sunrise.   Known as the heaven pond, whereby it will bring you luck upon walking around the pond 3 rounds clock and 3 rounds anticlock.  HiChew enduring the freezy chilly weather  1st taiwan president's house on mountain peak   Cheersss to the friendly people we met  The lady in black is whom we met on train, aka our "gui ren"  ALERT ALERT!! Beware of the 2 guys up there. They and their "Plsssss la" with the silly actions which can get you really irritated. Im the big victim of theirs throughout the trip. Noon set off from Illan to Jiu Fen. Another 4 hours bus ride down mountain and train ride to our next destination.   The stairs up to our "ming su"  Our logding at Jiu Fen.. Comfy and big room which we love lots, one of the best stay out of the trip.    My favourite " chou dou fu".. Fried and ma la!! 19 May Visit to this Gold mine museum      Shagged to the max ..  Long way ahead... kill me Pls!!! First time see Jordan so energetic, he's like way up while Bing Hui and I still lagging behind. Nicety hichew to wait for me =p  Gosh!!! best taiwan sausage ever .. After a day of musemum-ery and naturey, it was walk around at jiu fen street.   Fav grilled eel fish..Im so in love with it!  The hospitable host who arranged transportation to pick us up from the train station to his place and breakfast was prepared by him too =) It was goodbye to Jiu Fen and the nicety host.. Cab all the way to this waterfall called " Shi Fen pu bu" which was like located high up moutain too. Great laugh we had with this half deaf cabby and got to really shout right into his ear every conversation we made. And then way up, Binghui and Jor were like little kids entertaining themselves by squeezing here and there in the cab with every sharp turn the cabby made. Simply got to ignore them for that.  Guess what.. One of the guy got so carried away by the blue short skirt little girl. Who do you think the horny devil is??     Thirsty Hippo?? Nah...thirsty sailors..      Trekking we love??  Da lian shan?? Nah.. Da jiao shui By foot and rail, off waterfall to next town Ping Xi, which we thought it's like another happening night market place...   rail train mascot known as the good man. mascot Neo  mascot Low  mascot Lee  3 refugees WANTED!  Sooooo.... the so called happening night life Ping xi that we thought turned out to be like this... Deserted, rundown little village   Nevertheless, we get to put kong ming lamp and played with fireworks which we cant do it in any city area. So, highlights at Ping xi :   Hichew's trademark  Jordan flying his' Hichew's   Fireworks time!!   See how scare Jor was? The night ended off with catching the last bus to the station and train back to taipei. 20 May Visit to Taiwan Storyland and the idiotic things we did :       Love this cute bananaaaa boy     "Yes sir? Ticket for how many?"  Beware!! Chickens running out  Attendance for taiwan trip and so----> u can see for urself la       Good balancing Hichew.. Train down to Dan Shui which is located end of taipei . Shop and eat!    We aRe ASTRO boy!!! Ferry over to "Yu Ren Ma Tou" ( Mermaid Jetty??) haha    Chang shou appeared again      Main purpose here was to catch sunset and we were in time!   Back taipei to take the ferry wheel   Shilin for fav beefy steak  21 May Itinerary of the day: Sun zhong shan musuem and followed by shopping and eating at Wu fen pu    Taipei 101  Money running low .. so i was asked to beg on street. How pathetic  The moving FedEx, how amazed we got  Happiest man finally found his shopping center who has been harping even before the trip     that's what they will do almost everyday without failed 22 May Day shop at Ximending Like what hichew said, as days go by the enthusiasm in taking photos died down.   Patriotic Scout  How gay they can get when eating oyster mee sua  Sweetie buddies to carry my shopping stuffs throughout the trip. Thanks dudes! Last night in hotel, we were always "decent" as usual. So no need to elaborate. Tsk tsk! Before trip  & after 8 days  23 May 2 hours of sleep and we were up to catch super duper early flight back SIngapore.   And so coincident!! Actually met GC, my primary school mate at taiwan airport and we so happened that we took the same flight back and what more he sat behind me in the plane. well, he reminds me of Rao. Misses Rao big time!! Phew!! finally done with this super long entry. HAve tried my very best in putting the pics but all in all there's 700 pics taken in total( camwhore freak), so that's the best i can post. Above pictures proudly presented by Ching's cam, the only soul survivor in this trip. 3 cameras went and only 1 return with pics. Funny Jor's first day took 6 pics and memory full and as for BH's 2nd day battery flat and charger died on him.. And he was so persistent till everyday trying charging it given that he cant accept the fact that his charger was spoilt. So in conclusion, backpacking was like my first experience and MARVELLOUS, everything went all well luckily with homework done and many happening things and interesting people we met on the way. Pretty amazed by the fact that we managed to survive through despite no single hotels were booked beforehand. Every night we will just roamed around and checked out hotes rate and there we go. To my 2 travel buddies: Whoop!!! WE did it.. It was indeed my pleasure to travel with you guys though both of you really irritate the hell out of me but still yours effort in entertaining throughout were greatly appreciated. Eh, rmb our Y-M-C-Aaaaaaa ?? Hao Ziii ?? 30 bucks can go where ( whereby Jor and i really got to ignore bh for this, as it was really Arrgh.. you know la)?? Lolz lo?? Mlm la??? and the really irritating " Plsssss la", which i really want to smack the both of you.. So as promised, i will ignore you guys for 365 days ( and so far i yet to break it).. and btw, how come it seems like the whole world knew abt it with people coming to me" i heard that you are going to ignore bh and riv for 365 days".. But anyway, it was all great!!! And it was even greater that i FINALLY finished posting this entry!!! -ching- blogged on 1:25 PM Wednesday, May 09, 2007Night-out with kenneth on sat @ Timbre, finally managed to make the time out to meet him . It was a nice catch up and this dude here indeed talked much sense into me and many a times i got to agree to him. Had this conversation on the issue of commit suicide whereby it was also an incident that befell on a friend of his. Commit suicide is always due to a series of complications rather than just a single problem, some kind of disagreement between us?? But truly it takes lots of courage to take the first step out. Comes to reflect of what i've been going through this couple of months. Just one word " Wasted". Day and night filled with silly unnecessary thoughts, simply a useless bum slacking her way through without any goals in life. Seriously, i have no idea the used to have lots of passions and full of aspirations in life ME, where has it all gone to?? Does wealth alone makes us happy??? (many would think yes) But in fact money isn't everything ! money isn't the real key to happiness! If many feel so that 'we should be thinking not just about what is good for putting money in people's pockets, but what is good for putting joy in people's heart', how wonderful life would be isn't it?? Well, whatever choices we make individually and as societies in the pursuit of happiness, there's a good chance that they'll seem better in hindsight. Getting terribly afraid when nightfall, the inevitable happened and that's when the mind will go stupid, wild, crazy, insane, berserk, silly, emo , whatever you name it has it. Indeed, i agree everything is within oneself own control and yes babe you're absolutely right, i choose my own path. Kinda reflected on everything and what ken has said so too, be sure i will salvage my own situtation soon. I will indulge myself for a change and maybe just become a workaholic?? But on the other hand, im still not prepared for new school life ahead, simply don't see my future and in fear of everything. Cowardice!! Gosh, that couldn't have be me!!! -ching- blogged on 4:50 PM Saturday, May 05, 2007Two C for it. Cool and Classic restaurant i would say.. Highly recommended yeah! And the food they served is like whoaSss..  King scallops with Porcini Mushrooms and Truffled Taleggio Cheesse Fondue
Another * thumbs up* for Spaboutique Ps: michh, like i promise you i will have porridge all days. or maybe plain bread with no spread at all. So when we meet up next time, is only bread for me alright?? =p -ching- blogged on 5:01 PM |
