HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND !!!

Christmas Tree ...

Autumn ....

The weather is so nice now, sunny day without sweat .. it's the most ideal weather. Somehow I'm really looking forward to Nov comes, then I can start decorating my Christmas Tree.

I have some sort of special feeling towards Christmas Trees. When I was young, I always fancy a Christmas Tree, but my home was too small to fit in one. So when I got a chance to migrate to Canada, I finally have a huge space for it. I remembered on one of the cosy street in my city, it has lots of different stores selling gifts and decorations, and there was one called 'the Christmas Shop'. This shop sells christmas decorations all through the years. I loved walking around the shop all the time, and I was always attracted by all sorts of ornaments and christmas lightings ...

There was once that I went along with my mom around summer time, I told my mom that 'Let's come again later on in the year and buy all these decoration for our first christmas tree in the family ...' and my mom said 'YES'.
Sadly .. my mom left the city and our family 2 months after ...

so ... eventually ... no Christmas Tree in that Christmas ... And I hated Christmas Trees ....

Few years later, I went back to Hong Kong. Things changed, and I have put down my stubbornness .. I started to enjoy Christmas time again, and even though I can buy myself a Christmas Tree, but I still insisted my mom to find me one. She didn't know why I insisted her to buy me the tree, but I just said I wanted one.

Anyways.. it's a little story between me and my Christmas Tree... Although now the Christmas Tree can no longer be surrounded by my whole family anymore, I still find good time whenever I'm looking at it.
The most important thing is ... I did learn to look at the bright side :)

Smile all my friends ~~~~~~ :>

~^*~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY ~*^~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND .....

Sudoku ....

Been playing Sudoku these days all the time... the world of math is so good. There is always just 1 answer! Either black or white, never have any grey areas.

It makes life so much easier if our world is like this ... or you will say we will have 'no life' if we are just livining the world of math ... too dull???!? What do you think? :)

For me.. sometimes I just don't want to think too much ... having just right or wrong answers will keep me away from lots of TROUBLES!!! haha Not too much hassel ..~

Happy Autumn .... ~^*~*~*^~

Today I can finally feel autumn is coming ... When I walked out my home, i can feel the autumn breeze .. so gentle and soft, loved it when i can feel the breeze touching my face.

Always think that Autumn is a melancholic season, it's when all the green leaves turning brown and falling down. Seems like it's reflecting the end of a cycle .. but today when the breeze come, I was thinking maybe it's just myself being melancholic .... Autumn can also be a happy season, as the fine weather suits us to go for hiking, enjoying ourselves with the nature. I just don't have to bound myself with the 'traditional' thinking all the time :>

And in Autumn, i can look forward to winter comes ... Christmas time is always a season for love.
So.. let's work hard in Autumn, and save all the energy for winter.

Wish everybody finds their love ones and share the happiness with each other!

Happy Autmn!!!

My Running Track ...

This is a park close to where I live .. I go there for a jog sometimes ...

It's a very nice park with a big football + baseball field. The environment was really good... very relaxing!! :)

Sometimes it's just nice to breathe some fresh air when you are so stressed out ....
 

Sitting Room ..

This is a place where i always hang around with my dear friends... nice drinking place for flower tea and to have a chat.

Hopefully my mood will become better after the exam! >.<

Enough for you??

Today I've read a good article from Apple Daily

歷 史 的 感 覺
2005年10月13日
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
遊 覽 北 京 ， 如 果 你 被 故 宮 的 人 潮 嚇 壞 ， 宋 慶 齡 故 居 該 是 個 療 養 心 神 的 好 地 方 。
宋 慶 齡 女 士 是 孫 中 山 先 生 的 妻 子 ， 一 九 六 三 年 遷 居 於 這 座 大 宅 ， 直 到 八 一 年 去 世 。 大 宅 原 是 末 代 皇 帝 溥 儀 的 出 生 地 ， 也 就 是 王 府 。
我 在 花 園 漫 步 ， 遊 人 稀 疏 。 雖 曾 是 王 府 ， 隨 時 光 的 流 逝 ， 少 了 華 麗 ， 多 了 優 雅 。 倚 小 橋 的 石 欄 ， 閒 看 秋 風 中 搖 曳 的 垂 柳 ， 想 到 三 十 年 前 ， 宋 慶 齡 女 士 可 能 也 站 在 這 個 地 方 思 念 故 人 ， 更 久 以 前 ， 溥 儀 可 能 在 這 個 地 方 跑 步 跌 倒 。 一 種 歷 史 的 感 覺 ， 油 然 而 生 。

走 進 房 子 ， 長 廊 的 盡 處 放 了 一 張 康 樂 棋 檯 ， 簡 介 說 宋 慶 齡 女 士 喜 歡 和 職 員 打 康 樂 棋 。 原 來 國 父 太 太 和 我 的 愛 好 相 同 。
宋 女 士 的 寢 室 ， 以 香 港 的 標 準 ， 是 超 級 巨 大 ， 可 是 那 張 床 ， 只 有 四 、 五 呎 寬 。
任 你 家 財 千 億 ， 擁 有 一 座 皇 宮 ， 甚 至 全 世 界 ， 當 你 躺 在 床 上 合 上 眼 睛 ， 真 正 需 要 的 ， 也 不 過 是 數 呎 。
不 禁 想 ： 我 們 日 以 繼 夜 努 力 追 求 的 ， 是 我 們 需 要 的 嗎 ？

I love the last line, we worked hard to achieve our goals, but don't overdo it.
知足常樂 doesn't mean that you don't have to be agressive. But there are always other things for you to look at beside longing for a materialistic life. Of course money is important, but how much is ENOUGH for us? I would say live 'energetically' instead of 'agressively'. Need to go forward and make progress, but not being ambitious. Work for a fine living standard for you and your family. Enjoy the love around us!

Present ...

Life is always full of challenges and sometimes with sorrow, but we shouldn't just focus on the temporary sadness, but to work for the future. Live for today and tomorrow.

We don't belong to the past, but the future. Our past gives us lessons that we need to learn from, such that we can live in a better day on the next day.

As per the old saying, "Treasure every moment that you have! Because Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!! ..."

Use our love to make other people happy, to help others. Live your life FULL~ :)

Be happy everybody!!!!

Work work work ...

The weather is always so good when it's on 'working days'. And always rain or having dark sky when it's on weekend.

I'm so stressed out lately and I really wanna getaway and relax. Maybe just go to somewhere else for a weekend, I just want to leave this chaotic mess for a while and refresh myself. Actually.. I'm quite happy these days, I have found my love, my focus, just that work is not going too well for me. Too much changes for me to handle, or I should say.. I don't want to handle.

I think work had become secondary to me, I just want to enjoy life, but then in order to enjoy a 'decent life', I need to have money to pay the bills, so I gotta work. Not that I have lost all my ambitions, but just the work that I'm doing is not actually what I'm looking for. How many more years can I waste on this? I know you may say I'm 'progressing', but the pace was so slow that I really don't know when I can really CLIMB UP?!? I just found no intention or motivation to work when the job nature is really not what I'm seeking.

Sounds like I'm whinning a lot here. I'm happy with my life other than work, that's why I really wanted to getaway to have a break. When I'm all refreshed, I'm sure I can get myself a fresh start at work, and can gain back my energy and motivation.

May our Lord bless all the ones that I love, wish they all have good health and happiness!

Finding Happiness (2) ...

After talking about "Tuesdays with Morrie" maybe I should talk about "the Five People you Meet in Heaven". I'll say it's not as touching as "Tuesdays" but it's a nice book too. The main focus of this book is everybody you had met in your life had more or less affected your life no matter you realise it or not. And in this world everybody is linking together. So we must be nice to every passerby in our lives and treasure all the friends around. Sometimes things are not just like as we 'thought', everything could be seen from 2 sides. We should try to look at things from different angles and not just believing on what we 'seen'. Sometimes we are just so easily being blind by our own perceptions, but not seeing the truth ..

So... look at things by our HEART but not by our EYES.

God Bless all the ones that I loved and wish they all have happiness!!
