Love at first sight~

When I was during Form 4 and Form 5 secondary moment, I always fallen in love on anything which is in blue color. I love the feeling of serenity and peace that the blue color giving me. It was one the ways I chase for life peaceful during that moment.

There are many time when I laughed at my friends for their “stupidity” to love at first sight on something or somebody. Because I feel that love at first sight is something not logical and unrealistic. But for that round, I completely lost. My thinking towards “love at first sight” this stuff completely changed.

The moment when I start to change my mind was the time when I went to seaside to calm myself, after I went through the biggest storm of my life. During that time I suddenly realized that how big and beautiful is the sea and sky and I am such a tiny person comparing to them. But ever since that moment onwards, blue color gave me a feeling of comfortable and peace. I love at first sight towards blue color!

At one point of my life, I was so crazily collected all the things and stuffs that are in blue colors. My shoes, my blouse, my hair decorations, etc are in BLUE! That’s the reason why when I went out with my friends shopping together I will be teased by them that I was so crazy, psychotic and looked little bit outdated to have full fashion in that color. But still, I was just smiled at them and told them that I hardly forget and “abandon” my favorite colors.

Many people would refer blue color as the color of sadness and depress. Is it true? But for me, blue color not represent the symbol of sadness, instead it gives the peace in my heart, the supports that I need in my daily life.

For those 2 years, I was completely addicted to blue colors. There were no any other colors that able to shed its place from my heart.

Perhaps that’s what people always called as addiction?

For current moment, I am addicted to RED~!

My friend sent me this article to my email lately.. I found it is very interesting and wish to share with everybody...

有人扯后腿,怎么办?
  
假如人与人之间,彼此因不了解而产生碰撞、磨擦,也要将别人当作磨炼我们的石头来感恩。因为良玉未经粗石磨炼不能发光、发亮,钻石亦然。然而石头会因碰撞、磨擦而磨损,所以要感恩石头的牺牲而成就我们的发光、发亮,我们要从内心发出真正的感恩。

看到病人做复健,发现可学习可启发的地方很多。有一位阿巴桑在活动的走路机上练习走路,她的脚上绑着伸缩的弹性带,弹性带的一端绑在墙上,虽然脚被绑着,她还是要用力的举起踏出。

问复健师为何要把脚绑上?她说:「用来复健━━练脚力。」我问阿巴桑:「这样需要比较用力哦?」阿巴桑回答:「这样已经增加力量了」。这让我想到静思语中的一句话:「若有人扯后腿,要心存感恩。没有人『扯』,就练不出腿劲。」。

人与人之间相处,不要太计较,否则做事会很辛苦。不要把人事当是非,要把是非当教育,这就是待人处事最好的方法。要常心存感恩,哪怕是扯我们后腿的人,也要感恩他让我们练脚力,若能如此,就能克服一切。这就是我们修行的道场,道场有这些障碍,才能修心养性。

A Garden of Hope, Joy and Love~

Thinking back when I was some year during secondary school… Hope to dedicate this blog to my students or those teenagers’ readers perhaps? Let us share all the joys of beautiful life together…

Growing up is all about the learning. It has never been said to be easy, never declared a bed of roses. In fact, we have not truly blossomed into mature and deep thinking adults without experiencing a certain degree of hardship and struggle. We grow through experience and through experience we gain hope, self confidence, and most significantly – strength to go on the living.

At one stage of my life (some time during my secondary moments), I woke up from my slumber every morning dejected and dispirited. I would gaze at the shriveled and wilting plant mourning at my windowsill and lament.

“Another day, another disappointment, another failure…”

So pessimistic huh?! At one point, I found no joy in my life. I felt akin to an insignificant flake in a blizzard of success and confidence. I thought I was alone in this unpredictable world with no one who could understand how I felt. I blame everybody around me. In my blindness, I allowed myself extremely distorted anger and hurt to surface, encasing my heart in bitter, cold ice.

Life is a garden of hope, joy and love.





If we delve deeply into our hearts, we will ascertain that we process such an infinite capacity to love, to touch the lives of others and to make a difference in the world. Many among us conclude that we are powerless against the invisible forces in this world, as we are just tiny flocks of colors in a canvas of adversity. Yes, I have to concede that we may not able to change the world to what we envisage but we can make it a better place to live in.

As Mother Theresa once quoted,

“We are each a drop of water in an ocean of need, but a drop of water that would be missed if it were not there.”

bLue BluE ChrisTmaSS~~ LifE~~ dECemBeRR~~

Now already December... Less than one month to another new year... Everywhere can feel the Christmas happiness... Time passed very fast... Suddenly, it's going to be another year already... All of the sudden I get reminded neither to take life nor friends for granted... More often than not, we always think that we have endless tomorrows... But there are many times when life is unexpected...

Friendships are formed through sincere effort and long precious time... A bond bound by love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness... Friends are the ones who have accompany me through this long windy journey of life... They all make me feel less lonely when I need someone the most... They share happiness and joy, making it all the more meaningful... True friendship goes more than that..

Friendship offers us their understanding hearts, open-mind and also that shoulder to cry on... They make us failure less painful by giving us encouragement, spur us on when the ebb seem the lowest... They bring out the best in us and accept the worst... They are always there for us though the thick and thin, constantly reminding us how fortunate we are...

I am proud to say that I am endowed with many friends, all of whom mean so much to me and have touched my love my life so greatly... They have enriched my life in more ways than one, colored my social circle and sprinkled my life with joy and laughter... One thing is for sure, friendship is like the wine the older the better... If I were to explain what friendship is in one world... I would say "MAGIC"...

Too many times, we allow ourselves to get so immerse in our present, planning and paving our future that we simply get side-tracked from the journey of our life... We tend to forget what is closest to our hearts, and bury ourselves in a whole load of confusions, anxieties, worries and troubles... We simply let ourselves get swept forward by the current of life... Such, is a never-ending cycle of life... We can only move forward, carrying with us the hope that we have learnt well from our past for us to face what is ahead of us with our heads held high...

Sometimes, taking a brief glance at our past does somehow make us feel proud of ourselves... In spite of ourselves, for we know that we are better person today than we were yesterday, we know that we have done our very best...

Life is short... So many things to do, so many lives to touch... Racing against the unbeatable enemy which determines humanity- TIME... Frantically, grasping the sands for what we want out of life, afraid that we might not able to find it, scared that we might have missed it...

Today, coming face to the end of the year of 2008... It's less than a month of time to go beyond another new year... Kind of gives me reminder everyone needs... More often than not we forget our priorities in life, thinking that there are no important things in life than love... Think too much... Plan too much... Making a fuss out of pretty and trivial matters, harboring hatred, letting ourselves be ruled by rationality, pride and not love... By the end of this long and winding road it's just you and memories... NOTHING ELSE...

落枫

勉强的最后一股劲力 坚强地忍受着
脱离母体的痛苦过程

是秋夜 是悲愁 是惆帐。。。
别离的思绪 象喜怒无常的潮水
汹涌的波涛 无情的敲击着冰冷的峭壁
毫无定律地起舞 毫无目标的怒吼

它抖动着 那欲枯萎的叶身
随着 昂首仰望 深秋的夜晚
它无奈地体验了分离的忧伤

多情自古伤离别 更那堪冷落清秋节
枫叶已触摸不到 君那昔日的柔情
干枯的叶身眷恋着 奉献出如繁星般的初次
那缠缠的一刻
旋起了生活中的涟漪 彩绘出缤纷般的一幕

如今 冷酷的秋风将落枫与枫红 越隔越远
它越觉得本身已化成了一叶轻舟 毫无目标地 飘荡而去
而枫红带来的蜜意 渐渐地
被寒风拭干了 被大地舔干了
最后 遗留下的 只是烟霞般的漩忆~~~

My Cartoon World~!

I very like to watch cartoon since I was small. Even until current, I still love to watch different types of cartoon from time to time. Sometimes before I come to work in the early morning, while taking breakfast, I sit in front of TV to enjoy the cartoon shows. One of the reasons I like about the cartoons is those characters in the cartoon can never die. Either they fall down from a very high place or “run” over by big vehicle or lorry, but still they can turn back to their original look and shape. Sounds little bit childish and unrealistic, but cartoons bring lots of joys to me.

The Simpsons
My most favorite cartoon since I was small until current is The Simpsons. The Simpsons are a typical family who live in a fictional "Middle American" town of Springfield. Homer, the father, works as a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant—a position at odds with his careless, buffoonish personality. He is married to Marge Simpson, a stereotypical American housewife and mother.

They have three children: Bart, a ten-year-old troublemaker; Lisa, a precocious eight-year-old activist; and Maggie, a baby who rarely speaks, but communicates by sucking on a pacifier. The family owns a dog, Santa's Little Helper, and a cat, Snowball II. Each family member has different character and behaviors and they always do a lot of ridiculous and sometimes “unethical” stuff in their normal lives, but most of time certain values are conveyed through the shows. The series is a satirical parody of the middle class American lifestyle, set in the fictional town of Springfield, and lampoons many aspects of the human condition including American culture, society, and television. I have collected 10 seasons of its shows but in fact the 20th season already been released during this September, 2008.

Tom and Jerry Show
Another classis cartoon show that I love is Tom and Jerry show. The plots of each short usually center on Tom's (the cat) numerous attempts to capture Jerry (the mouse) and the mayhem and destruction that ensue. But Tom rarely succeeds in catching Jerry, mainly because of Jerry's cleverness and cunning abilities and because of Tom's own stupidity.

Interestingly enough, many of the title cards show Tom and Jerry smiling at each other which seems to depict a love-hate relationship rather than the extreme annoyance each displays towards the other in each cartoon. There are also several episodes where both of them display the genuine friendship and concern to each other’s well being. Not so sure the episode title, but there was an episode where both of them co-operate together to fight against a fierce dog in their house. Jerry was the one who giving the idea on how to escape and fight back the dog whereas Tom was the one who actually implement Jerry’s idea.


SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob SquarePants is a sea sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea, while his octopus neighbor, Squidward Tentacles, lives in a moai. SpongeBob's other neighbor and best friend is a pink starfish named Patrick Star, who lives under a rock. SpongeBob and Patrick live on either side of Squidward Tentacles, much to Squidward's despair. Squidward is constantly annoyed by SpongeBob and Patrick's antics. SpongeBob, who is absorbent, yellow, and porous (according to the title song), works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a fast-food restaurant, with Squidward as the cashier. SpongeBob’s ambition is to succeed in his career -- “PROMOTION” but always most of time the promotion was given to Squidward instead of him where this makes SpongeBob’s life a suffering.

At a glance, the cartoon show may looks very childish and only suitable for small little kids, but for me it is a long line of cartoons that is designed to appeal to adults too. This has a lot to do with the absurd way underwater life and situations are represented, and with the situations, references, and words used, which younger viewers might not understand. Certain innuendos also are intended to go over younger viewers' heads. For example, SpongeBob tried to show his grandma that he was a mature adult by wearing sideburns and a derby, and listening to 'free form jazz' are jokes that most children may not able to understand. Numerous marine biology in-jokes are woven into the show. There are also many water jokes made. The most common one is the one in which you set a fire under the sea. There are also often complex ironic scenarios that need close attention. But still, I love this show very much!


Popeye
“Popeye the sailor man...”, “Popeye, help~ Help~!!”… Popeye! My favorite!!! I even have a small little game bought from Singapore which is based Popeye that fight with his biggest enemy, Bluto that always think of kidnapping his lovely and skinny wife, Olive Oyl. But sadly to say that, my game was broken when my small little brother “dived” it into the water. GONE! How sad was I!

The story actually is about a buff sailorman Popeye arrives in an awkward seaside town called Sweet Haven. There he meets Wimpy, a hamburger loving man, Olive Oyl, the soon-to-be love of his life, and Bluto, a huge, mean pirate who's out to make Sweet Haven pay for no good reason. Popeye also discovers his long lost Pappy in the middle of it all, so with a band of his new friends, Popeye heads off to stop Bluto, and he's got the power of spinach, which Popeye detests, to busk Bluto right in the mush. Meanwhile, the cute baby boy that we always see in the show, Swee’pea is the abandoned baby boy who is adopted by Popeye and Olive. It is a very cute baby boy.

Someday sometime I hope I can walk into the cartoon world to stay in those fantasy world for temporary... Heeeeee! Just a stupid dream only!! :P

Life, Music.


music
Originally uploaded by sharonkee10
I recently came across to get to know that I have a male student who currently at Grade 8th of Piano lesson. GOSH! First time in my life I know someone around me (I mean those male friends) very good in piano playing. He is the second person after my husband that I get to know who knows how to play piano (my husband played organ, but not complete all 11 levels).

I love music since I was small. Even though my family financial background not able to send me to piano lesson, but still I love it and participated in school band to learn those different types of music instruments. I learnt to play flute, drums, trumpet, and saxophone. But frankly speaking, among these few music instruments, I only manage learning the flute and drums successfully. For trumpet and saxophone, so pitiful that I was too thin (my own assumption) and not enough energy (or air?:P) to play them. The most vivid experience was when I learnt playing drums until my both hands are bruise as the frequent times of hitting drum’s sticks onto my hands during the process of learning. But still I love them.

I more talented in flute. I listened to songs and most of time I able to play out the song straightly without even referring to the music notes. After many years I left school band, I still playing flute (the most common type one that we used to play during our music period in primary school) myself at home sometimes. Whenever I was in bad mood or sad moment, I will play my favorite songs. It helps me to release those unhappy feelings from my hearts. It cheers me many times when I was having those blue moments.

Some people said life = music. Life can be described as music rhythm, uncertain and unpredictable. It sometimes can be rock and roll, sentimental, emotional and sometimes very peace. I personally feel that music is the only means whereby we can feel the emotions of sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, and love that belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Don’t you agree?

Love & Marriage


Marriage
Originally uploaded by sharonkee10
Hope to dedicate this blog to all my friends who are going to marry…

What is the meaning of love?

Love is when you looking into someone’s eyes,
And he/she able to sees everything you need.

Love is when the moment both of you,
Prepare to share the life through the entire thick and thins,
Whether the day is rainy or shines.

Love is the moment when you see and love an imperfect person,
As somebody who is completely perfect.

Love is living in everybody’s heart.
Life without love is like a sunless garden when all the flowers are dead.
It shines and showering everybody’s colorless life.

************************************************************************

How about the marriage? What is a good marriage developed on?

Marriage is a promise of love with our love one...
Marriage is a path for both loving couples to walk through their whole life together, hand in hand, highlights and downs in life...
Marriage always needs both parties to work out together, to make it grow.

Marriage is a love bank for both couples.
Both couples are keeping depositing their love into the love bank from time to time.
If either one of them keep on withdrawing the love units from the bank,
Bank will turn into imbalance and overdraft.
Marriage will turn into disaster where affairs, divorcing cases will happen.

Different people always have different perspective towards marriage.
Some ladies treat the affection as one of the most important emotional needs in her marriage but her husband not necessary having the same thinking.
How about yours? What is your thinking?

Even if divorcing cases are increasing in our society nowadays,
But still I have the strong belief in my own marriage.
So do those couples who are going to marry.
May everybody’s marriage is a wonderful and joyous path~!

To those who already getting married, or those who are going to marry~~

The moment we promise to each other for marriage
You will be the one that I laugh with
As we share life’s wonderous zest,
You are the one I live for
Because the world seems brighter,
You are the one I love with every fiber of my soul.

I promise you with all my heart’s devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
I wish to promise you a life of sunshine;
To brighten your colorless world;
I wish to paint the stars in the evening;
Draw the touch of love and grace
Softly fall on your moonlit face;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow;

Love binds the mystic tie,
Blest is the bridal hour~~

Yesterday are only memories...
We never have the chance go back to yesterday..
Whether right or wrong,
No matter good or bad;
Everything has flew away with YesTerDay already...

Today is our present...
A present that we should grasp,
To appreciate every moment and live in passion...
A day where we have always to take it as granted,
To live it to its fullest..
Live, love, and grow

Tomorrow is another chance, another day
A day to do what is right;
A day to correct the wrongs of yesterday;
A day to make someones day bright;
A day to spread kindness;
A day which brings us to move further away than our sadness;
But most of all it is another day to love....

So take yesterday
and Make today
A better day tomorrow..

For our better and brighter tomorrow, let's cheer~~! =)

Coffee, tea Or me??!!


Coffee, tea Or me??!!
Originally uploaded by sharonkee10.

It was a memorable day when we were used to have tea time together;
in a lazying evening...
I would say that I like the tea time the most,
as it gives me a time of relaxation from all the workload and troubles of the day..
Sitting together with a group of close friends,
enjoying the evening's sunshine and slowly take in the coffee...
I would say I was very lucky as my previous working place allowed us to have this kind of 'relax time';
Some of my friends who are working in some places not even have the chance to taste the sweetness of evening,
sitting together with a group of friends,
and chat together...
My friend once told me before,
When we are feeling cold in the office,
drinking tea can help to warm us;
When we are too heated,
tea will help to cool us;
And when we are feeling depress,
the tea might able to help to cheer us up....
People who are having tea time together with me changing all the time...
When I was undergraduate,
I was having my precious tea time with a group of course mates or sometimes my best friends,
Sitting in the coffee shop and chatting until we forget our class..
That was yesterday when we were young...
A moment of sweet memory...
However, after I graduated,
Those people who are used to have tea together with me are seperated...
WE all coming from different places and we need to go back where we are coming from to go on with our life...
That's the life...
People said friends are changing every seasons..
Each seasons we might having different groups of friends...
Friends may come and go..
But the memories that we all sharing together once before might not fade easily...


Tea Time
Originally uploaded by sharonkee10
And now my tea time is always surrounded with my teaching workloads,
my students...
Sometimes,
the tea time makes me think of friends who are sepearated from me...
I had a friend who was used to have tea time together with me most of the time...
But she is now staying in US, a far far place...
Where we can only contact to each other through emails and phones only..
However,
the friendship still there as long as we always have the faith to each other.. =)
So, it is tea time again now...
I need to decide whom I am going to have tea with today...
Coffee, tea or me??
