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.

迷宮 joanne wang

看着你
看窗外
悄悄脸红的
夜轻轻的你的手
又握紧了一些

该不该让你到我的世界
let's 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
I don't care where we go
let's start from here

陪着我
喝咖啡
爱在空气里
暖暖的像你的笑
赶走心情的灰
我想我不在意你曾爱过谁

Let's start from here
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
Let's start from here

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

p/s: read it from my cousin's facebook.. how truth..

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..
