Thought of the day..
Read through my own blog and realised dat I've been blogging for 3 years plus...
It is not a long journey of my life during these 3 years plus, but the miracle event happened..
Like I fall sick, having thyroid, I met a few guys, got involved into relationship and found the precious one.. I even got into different career and experienced different aspects of life..
I gain and lost alot..
In life, what do we ask for... if you're to ask me, I will pray for good health and love.
Love from parents, friends, spouse, etc.. If I'm not able to have a good health, I wun be able to enjoy the love from them... and den, to some pple, they tot money do wonder.. true. but money can't find u true love, money can't buy u good health. To me, money is really secondary.
I know my parents' love for me.. I know the care and concern they bring to me..
I greatly thanks them for bringing me up and give me education and educate me on human rights and wrongs. From young, mum will teach me not to steal, not to bully as such..
I'm thankful I've them in my life...
I'm having lots of difficulites right now.. the new job doesn't fit well for me, my health is still a hassle.. but I know I nid to relaz and let things meddle in a way.. Perhaps I shall listen to my hubby, juz tender and look for another one.. (he said not to affect my health as I can't really get stress up.) My parents agree.. and as for me, I shall see and monitor den I will have the key to the doubt...
Like I always says, hope things to be better...

Bath Tub Test!
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director: "How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?"
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor.
"A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

"It is a crow"
An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?" The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?"The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".
After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, What is this?"
At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff.. "It's a crow, a crow".
A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep askingme the same question again and again, although I have told you so manytimes 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born.On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa,when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what itwas, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 timesand when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look atthem as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the society today".

'GUARANTEE NO SPOILT'
A man went on a business trip to China and wanted to buy some gifts back for his kid.
He went to a shop and found a nice looking CD player.
Wary of buying inferior goods, he asked the shopkeeper, 'What would happened if this does not work?'
The shopkeeper quietly points to the only sign in English that reads, 'GUARANTEE NO SPOILT'.
Feeling assured, he paid for the CD player and returns to his hotel.
He tried to use the CD player after returning to the hotel but it would not even switch on.
He quickly return to the shop and asked for a refund or an exchange for another unit.
When the shopkeeper refused to give either, the man points to the sign assuring him of a guarantee.
The shopkeeper then said, 'Brother, you are in China. We read from the right to the left.'

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?
This is a very good article. read it.
Those who are still single may learn something from here....
Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage....
DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?
During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?' I
noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?'
In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.
Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle.
In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love...
Because it's happening TO YOU.
People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept of my feet.'
Think about the imagery of that __expression.
It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.
Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.
But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades.
It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.
Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.
The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.
This is when marriages breakdown.
People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. I
nfidelity is the most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage.
It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.
And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.
Because (listen carefully to this): THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND. SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience.
It'll NEVER just happen to you.
You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out.
That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy .
And most importantly, it takes WISDOM .
You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it.
Love is NOT a mystery.
There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love.
Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling .
