I still haven't found what i looking for

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found
what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongues of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one

Well, yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains

Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

there's always something good in bad stuff that's happening.

In 1939 the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who was posted in Lithuania during one of the most dreadful periods ever known to mankind, saved thousands of Polish Jews from the Nazi menace by granting them exit visas.

45 years after the Soviet invasion of Lithuania, he was asked his reasons for issuing visas to the Jews. Sugihara gave two reasons: one, that these refugees were human beings, and the other, that they simply needed help. As Sugihara stated in a conversation with a visitor to his home near Tokyo Bay that year:

" You want to know about my motivation, don't you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He cannot just help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.
People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people's lives....The spirit of humanity, philanthropy...neighborly friendship...with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation---and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage."


When asked why he risked his career to save other people, he quoted an old samurai saying, "Even a hunter cannot kill a bird which flies to him for refuge."

p/s: It's sort of heartening that not everyone is consumed by madness in WW2, there are still logical & courageous ppl..

A very meaningful lesson about life

A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.

He held it up for all to see & asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?''50gms!' .... '100gms!' .......'125gms' ......the students answered.

I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor,

'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'

'Nothing' the students said.

'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.

'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.

'You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?'

'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured another student & all the students laughed.

'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?' asked the professor.

'No'

'Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?'

The students were puzzled.

'Put the glass down!' said one of the students.

'Exactly!' said the professor.

Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you.
You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.

That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh & strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

'So, as it becomes time for you to leave office today, Remember friends to'PUT THE GLASS DOWN ! '

A Dreamer Lives For Eternity!!!

Love of my life - Queen

Love of my life, you hurt me,
You broken my heart, now you leave me.

Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life dont leave me,
Youve stolen my love now desert me,
Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

You will remember when this is blown over,
And everythings all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there by your side,
To remind how I still love you, I still love you.

Hurry back hurry back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life,Love of my life.

p/s: i can like listen to this song 100 times and still thinks that it's wonderful =)

Recently i went to bukit merah library, suddenly just remember abt this novel and so i did a search on the NLB search site, there's 10 books available for loan! So glad!
******Strongly recommended to all************

These great masses will have turned their backs on the grave insult to human dignity which described some as masters and others as servants, and transformed each into a predator whose survival depended on the destruction of the other.

Thus shall we live, because we will have created a society which recognises that all people are born equal, with each entitled in equal measure to life, liberty, prosperity, human rights and good governance.

Such a society should never allow again that there should be prisoners of conscience nor that any person's human rights should be violated.

(Nelson Mandela, who for 28 years was a prisoner of conscience, on receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, 10/12/1993)


A man can obey others for two reasons: for fear of being punished, or for love. Obedience that comes from love of others is a thousand times stronger than fear of punishment.

(Mahatma Ghandi, 1869–1948)

“When You Come Into My Room,” by Stephen A. Schmidt.

“When you come into my hospital room, you need to know the facts of my life

that there is information not contained in my hospital chart

that I am 40 years married, with four children and four grandchildren....

that I love earthy sensuous life, beauty, travel, eating, drinking J&B scotch, the theater, opera,

the Chicago Symphony, movies, all kinds, water skiing, tennis, running, walking, camping...

that I am chronically ill, and am seeking healing, not cure.”

Work matters.

It was my turn to work again on saturday, 27 september. It was a pretty peaceful morning but we received a case near knocking off time and we had to treat this gentleman that day so a group of us stayed back to help him.

He suffered from prostate cancer which have spread to the bones, and the tumour is now compressing on his spinal cord and he had lost sensation & power over his lower limbs for the past 48hrs, we called this cord compression.

To help him, the doctors will have to give radiation to the affected area, hoping to shrink the tumour to relieve the compression and hopefully this patient is able to regain sensation.

It took abt 1.5 hrs to finish treating him.

Upon completion of his 1st treatment and on his way back to the ward, he said to me,

" Thank you nurse. You have a good weekend ahead of you, be sure to watch F1, it's a big event for S'pore. I'm in the hospital and will have to miss it, wat a pity."

I almost said, " Not to worry sir, there is still next year." But these words didn't come out cos i suddenly remember that he might not survive till next year =(
He can't watch it in the TV room in the ward cos he can't walk. At that moment, I felt so sad.

This incident lingered in my head while i was watching F1 this weekend.

I really hope the radiotherapy treatment will work for him.

The Rose - lyrics

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower,
And you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It’s the one who won’t be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.

thoughts

' We do not stop playing because we are old;
we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success.
You have to laugh and find humor every day.
You've got to have a dream.
When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older.

That doesn't take any talent or ability.

The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.

The only people who fear death are those with regrets.'


p/s: hmm.. my blog is starting to sound pretty heavy recently.... My tots are pretty heavy too for the past few days..

the worse thing is one knows that one is walking around dead and don't know wat to do to improve it... gosh... tat's worse rite? now.. tis is really heavy.. lolz..
**** just my tots ****

Love

By Paulo Coelho

Love is an untamed force.

When we try to control it, it destroys us.

When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.

When we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused.

Friday, September 19, 2008

important stuff

To be true to oneself.

To always look on the bright side of life.

To learn to listen, really listen to others.

To have at least one good laugh everyday.

To have empathy for others.

To have confidence in oneself but not be proud.

To treat others with respect.

To treat mummy nicely.

To treasure love ones.

To care more for friends.

To have a little fun everyday

:)

To Live

To rejoice over others' happiness

To cry over others' misfortune

To love, To get angry.

Isn't that what it means to 'live'


喜怒哀乐 & 爱

Orange days

Kai Yuuki (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is in his senior year at university studying social welfare psychology. At present, he is in the middle of job-hunting season. He is finding it difficult with no job offers so far. One day, he meets a girl who is playing violin in the campus. She is Sae Hagio (Kou Shibasaki). In marked contrast to her beautiful tone and attractive looks, her personality is somewhat impertinent. And to top it off, she communicates through very vulgar sign language. Four years ago, she lost the most important thing for a violinist - her hearing. As a result Sae closed off her inner self from the outside world. Kai finds himself on a date with Sae, in place of his best friend. Unexpectedly, he comes into contact with Sae's private side. Love, job-hunting, friendship... Setting a campus in spring as a dorama`s backdrop, it's the start of a glittering youth drama.

Review : Simply Heart-warming =)

Someone

I just want one person

Someone who will love me, and only think of me

Someone who'll die with me when i die

Someone who'll be sad when i feel sad

Someone who'll cry with me when i cry

Someone who'll laugh 0.5 seconds before me



p/s: Know that it's almost impossible, but one can always hope ;p hahahaha!!

Self-reflection

Some stuff happen at work today that cause me to brood for awhile & came to the conclusion that i should try not to judge other ppl so soon.

Everyone is trying the best to their own abilities already, I'm was just hoping a little more effort & sincerity can be shown by each individual, there are 2 kinds of ppl;

1. Those who cares & think when they work
2. Those who don't give a damn, it's just work, no thinking process required. *&*^&%
( i hate this kind, but i must learnt not to judge them cos i got no rights to)

But after pondering wat happen, I realised that i am perhaps expecting a little too much...

No matter how I may wish things can be different, there is really not alot I can do to help and that makes me abit upset.

Then again I know that things will not change so easily, and rather than complaining abt it, I decided a better way is to do the ultimate best that i can and complain a little bit lesser. I must believe that ppl can be influenced to be better. It will not be easy, but it's a challenge.. haha.. the greater challenge for me is not to get affected, and in the end grumble too much. I hate my grumbling self..

*Actions speak louder than words, hope that things will be better. Important thing is not to get demoralised*

The heart never lies ~ Mcfly

Some people laugh
Some people cry
Some people live
Some people die

Some people run
Right into the fire
Some people hide
Their every desire

But we are the lovers
If you don't believe me
Then just look into my eyes
'cause the heart never lies

Some people fly
Some people fall
Others pretend
They don't care at all

If you want to fight
I'll stand right beside you
The day that you fall
I'll be right behind you

To pick up the pieces
If you don't believe me
Just look into my eyes
'cause the heart never lies

Whoa x2

Another year over
And we're still together
It's not always easy
But I'm here forever

Yeah we are the lovers
I know you believe me
When you look into my eyes
Because the heart never lies

'cause the heart never lies
Because the heart never lies

Through and beyond - from paulo coelho's blog

A warrior of the light notices that certain moments repeat themselves.

He often finds himself faced with the same problems and situations as before.

He becomes depressed. He begins to think he is incapable of making progress in life, the difficult moments having returned.

“I’ve already been through this”, he complains to his heart.

“It is true, you have been through it”, replies the heart. “But you never went beyond it.”

The warrior then understands that the repetition of experiences have one single purpose: to teach him that he has not yet learned.

He begins to seek out a new solution for each repeated struggle - until he finds a way of conquering.

Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World.

Read this in Paulo Coelho's blog and is way cool.. have to put it in here.

1. Change

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.”

2. Control.

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

3. Forgiveness

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

4. Action.

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

5. The present moment.

“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

6. Everyone is human.

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”

7. Persist.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

8. Goodness.

“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

“Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.”

“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”

9. Truth

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”

10. Development.

“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

A waltz for a night ~ julie delpy. Before sunset

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night
Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you're gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing
But you were much more to me
Just so you know

I hear rumors about you
About all the bad things you do
But when we were together alone
You didn't seem like a player at all

I don't care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day
I just wanted another try
I just wanted another night
Even if it doesn't seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I've met before

One single night with you little Jesse
Is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet
I'll never forget this one night thing
Even tomorrow, another arms
My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand

Banana walnut muffins

Haha.. the baker in me is calling for me to bake.. so today i try out the banana walnut muffins!!

Muffins is one of the easiest thing to bake and one can hardly go wrong.. for those 1st time baker, i will recommend u to try out muffins ;p


Banana-walnut muffins

235g all purpose flour
185g sugar
90g walnuts, coarsely chopped
1½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
125ml walnut oil or canola oil
1 large egg
2 – 3 medium to large very ripe bananas, slightly mashed to yield 315g
3 tablespoons buttermilk


Preheat oven to 190 degrees. Grease 10 standard muffin cups with butter

In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, chopped walnuts, baking soda & salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, mashed bananas & buttermilk until blended.
Add the dry ingredients and beat well until evenly combined and creamy.

Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling it level with the rim of the cup.

Bake until golden, dry and springy to touch ( 20-25 mins) Transfer to wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Unmold the muffins serve warm with butter.

***Walnut oil – excellent for baking, very nutritious and high in unsaturated fat. Do not use toasted walnut oil. To prevent oil from becoming rancid, store it in the refrigerator, keep up to 3 months***


P/S: i didn't buy walnut oil, just used the oil that i have at home which is canola & sunflower seed oil.. keke.. the result turn out good also, and i read from alot of website cautioning the baker not to overmix the batter when u are combining the dry & wet ingredient together, around 12 -15 strokes will do, don't be too disturbed by the lumpy mixture or traces of flour, cos over-mixing will cause the muffin to be very hard.

爱一个人
怎么开始啊
像街上走过那些人们
转一个弯也见美好
start from here
无所谓
慢慢来
迷宫一样的未来
转一个圈回到哪里
我喜欢爱情有点神秘

无所谓
就算累
像空沙发在等待
拥抱着是不确定
我喜欢爱情多点惊喜

I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
hmmmm....
Let's start from here
oh, Let's start from here
Let's start from here

From before sunrise ~ David Jewell

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes

I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore

You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you, You'll carry me

That's how it could be
Don't you know me?

Don't you know me by now?

-- from W.H. Auden's "As I Walked Out One Evening" (1937)

The years shall run like rabbits,
For in my arms I hold
The Flower of the Ages,
And the first love of the world."

But all the clocks in the city
Began to whirr and chime:
"O let not Time deceive you,
You cannot conquer Time. . . .

"O plunge your hands in water,
Plunge them in up to the wrist;
Stare, stare in the basin
And wonder what you've missed."

After awhile

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning.

And company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead.

With the grace of a woman/man, not the grief of a child.

And you learn to build all your roads on today.

Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and the future has a way of falling apart in mid-flight.

After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

And you learn.

With every good-bye, you learn.

--- Veronica A. Shoffstall

Excerpt ffrom ' The ballad of Reading Gaol' by Oscar Wilde

Yet each man kills the thing he loves

By each let this be heard,

Some do it with a bitter look,

Some with a flattering word,

The coward does it with a kiss,

The brave man with a sword!

Braised Noodle


Found the receipe of Braised noodle on www.wokkingmum.blogspot.com and decide to give a try as it was relatively easy.. but realised halfway if i followed the exact recipe, my dish will turn out quite bland so did a little adjustment here and there and it turn out okie, can still improve but it's alrite.. hmm... wokkingmum is really very healthy, cos she uses lesser amount of seasoning..

Quote of the day ~ paulo coelho

Whenever we need to make an important decision,
it is best to trust impulse and passion,
because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream,
saying that the time is not yet right.
Reason is afraid of defeat,
but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.
