I Promise Myself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person i meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just enthusiastic about the success of others as i am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater

achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at tall times and give a smile to

every living creature i meet.

To give so much time to improving myself that i have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,

and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of myself, and to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,

so long as i am true to the best that is in me.

George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!'

You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!

And then the greatest day of your life . . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21 YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.
Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!' May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.


6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.


7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER :Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.


'It's not the power you have, it's the power you have to spare '
' If at first you don't succeed, just do it again and again in different ways until you succeed!'

havent been blogging. basically lots of things happened. both pleasant and unpleasant. so i went to splurge my hard earn pay from IT fair. went reds for hair treatment + shampoo + conditioner + hair rebuilder + hair serum which cost me $240++. then walked to CK tang intending to use the $50 voucher mom gave me. wanted to get make up remover and base. but these 2 added up till a 100 plus already. =/ so i ended up getting another toner and in total it was $196. became a lancome member on the spot as well as ck tang member. (-.-") oh! bought a top from forever 21 too. felt like spending more but no $$ already. silly me spending so much money but when things just go wrong suddenly for me, my brain wont be functioning properly. i havent been the happy-go-lucky me for months. even keng swee was able to tell. =/ i feel like shutting myself from everyone. isolation. YES! but i know i wont be able to take it. in fact it will make me more emo. i do not know what to do now. i'm lost. where's my guardian angel?

sat was cousin wee meng's wedding. woke up early for church, then tea ceremony at his house, then dinner in the night. church was the usual. however, its not as grand as the past few church weddings i went. perhaps budget problem. =X i was anticipating on the buffet since the ceremony started. didnt had breakfast at home. thus, i became a hungry ghost. bo bian k~! st marg's are all like this. we live to eat. we dont eat to live. =X "food is life!" yes baby! okok~ so the flower girl and page boy are so cute that i have to take a photo with them. they are my nieces and nephews. haha. felt old beside them. in fact i look damn old in the photo i took with them! gosh! dinner was great! cause i was sitting at the VIP table. woot! it was my virgin experience on VIP table during weddings. =D i want more wedding events!

met bryan on sunday night for dinner. supposingly to head over to lucky plaza's rabbit for dinner. unfortunately they do not open on sundays. so we headed over to chatterbox for chicken rice. not very good food. =X chicken quite dry. not tender enough. i guess its their sauce that is good. no idea. went to a more quiet area in chatterbox after dinner and sat there to relax, sip tea, enjoy the good view and classics. its been years since we last met. 4 to 5 years i guess. haha! anyway, i missed this way of relaxation. once in a while feels really good. we so dig the embience there that we sat there till closing. LOL! i wanna lead a tai tai lifestyle everyday. =X however, that's impossible. as what bryan said, "to make a living in singapore is easy. But to live well is not."
