Had lunch with Winnie and Sy Biau and the kids, with Faith. After lunch i brought Faith back to her mum den i took a cab home, take my rollerblades and stuff, and headed to Clementi to meet Weiling...we headed to West Coast Park together...lessons were alright today, but was quite sad...cos i didnt manage to learn those nice turns...duno y i scared lor...scared to fall...and also dowana scratch my new blades and gears...wahahahaha....sigh...quite disappointed with myself...hmmm...sad...anyway after lessons i foned my dad, and luckily he was heading home from Jurong East, so he made a turn to come and fetch me home...heez...if not i have to take train man...will take ages...wahahaha...had dinner with my family, full force for dinner today...so dad is very happy...heez...yup...this is how i've spent my weekend...really tiring with all those activities and less sleep...heez...k will stop here...gotta do my assignment and work...tata~

Stresss Management!!!
>> A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a

> Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

> The lecturer replied, "the absolute weight doesn't matter." It depends on

> If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
> If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
> If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
> In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier
> it becomes.
> And that's the way it is with stress management.
> If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden
> becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.
>
> As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest

> So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

> Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you

> Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.

> Life is short. Enjoy it!

~2yrs liao~
oh yah...actually wana blog about this...but keep forgetting...now juz remembered. Today, 5th Oct 2006 is my 2nd yr in UOB as a perm staff doing management reporting...actually i'm in UOB for more than 2yrs...before being a perm i was a temp staff...hmmm...wow...times really past very fast...can't believe that i'm there for 2yrs liao...though pay still as little...and rank still the same...lowest...i really cant wait to graduate from uni lor...sigh...den still pondering whether to change job so as to achieve the position i should be getting (along with my experience) plus the pay i should be getting...cos i'm currently learning new things along the way...though is not a fast process of learning, at least ALOT faster and more things to learn than more than a yr ago before i came to this new dept...sigh...really in a dilemma...
anyway...though i did not learn much since i started this perm till afew months ago, i still wana give credit as to that i have actually grown alot and experienced alot...learning(though not alot) is a sure thing...i'm from someone who doesn't know what is and how to use Excel till now i feel i'm fairly good at it...cos i've been facing excel every working day lor...without fail! it's a benefit afterall i guess...love this job alot...dealing with the numbers and stuff (not accounting ar)...as for the environment...some are good...but some are really bad...however, ever since i've moved up and changed dept, i get to experience more of the ppl whom i think (heard from ppl) are ruthless or watsoever...but now i've got to know them, they are actually quite ok afterall...however, there are still exceptions...people here are super competitive...will try to push as much blame as possible so things will not look bad on them...but that's life i guess...cannot be avoided...cos it's due to each individual...i cant possibly change them...sigh...many will say this is the real world...but in the Christian context, this world we are living in now is just a temporary world...our REAL WORLD is in heaven!!! yay!!!heez...however, we are here so as to spread the Gospel and allow people to know of God's existence!and thereafter is their choice whether to accept Him or not...heez...yup...
k will stop here...back to work again...
Happy 2nd Yr Anniversary in UOB to mi!
take care n God Bless~

Hope Banta Singh's spirit will live on
Just for a laugh...
Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls in the police to tell them what has happened.
First body: "Frenchman, 60, died of heart failure while making love to his mistress. Hence the enormous smile, inspector", says the Coroner.
Second body: "Scotsman, 25, won a thousand pounds on the lottery, spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile."
The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?" "Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one: Banta Singh from Punjab 30, struck by lightning."
"Why is he smiling then?" inquires the Inspector.
He thought he was having his photo taken."

~exams over for this sem~
~WooHoo~ exams juz ended afew hrs ago...tired sia...a whole day of studying...trying to study i should say...have had my exams this week on Tuesday anf Friday...took leave on these 2 days to study for my exams...actually i should say these 2 days of revision before exams are the most fruitful (though most of the time fighting off sleepy monster)...i managed to study as much as i can...and guess what? i actually have not felt any nervous-ness during these 2 papers...just went in to the exam hall and write...trying my best to recal what i've studied...anyway for both these papers, i managed to attempt all needed questions, however, unsure about validity. tried to smoke through lor...no choice...but at least i tried to attempt all needed questions...guess that is why i i'm not that worried about how i will fare as compared to all other papers i've taken in the past. have always remembered i will keep on worrying and saying that i have high chances of failing...but not this time...actually when it's like that...i guess i should be more worried...y? cos in the past i'm always so worried, but i managed to pass all...but now i'm not worried...wat if...?haaz...duno lah...anyway i felt that i have did my best...studied hard though is last minute...all i can do is leave it to God...He will do the rest...heez...
oh yah...vomitted when i reached school today...sigh...vomitted the whole of my dinner...stomach was empty when i go into the exam hall...and kinda pain cos of the gastric juices (no food to digest since all vomitted out)...sigh...i had my dinner at about 445pm and thereafter i went to school...wasnt feeling really well when i'm in the bus...and was trying to hold my puke till i reach school's toilet...haaz...while walking to school, i happened to bump into Jason, baby Caleb, and Leon...kinda surprised to see them...however i juz said hi to them, and played with baby Caleb awhile and i rushed off...cos cannot tahan liao...haaz...
sigh...really wonder when all these puking and pains will stop...been taking med still no help...however, much inproved on the psycho side...anyway i guess 2dae's puking is cos i ate too much(no choice...only my portion was cooked n cos dowana waste food, i finished them)...wasnt supposed to eat alot at a time...now my portion of food got to be lessened and number of meals increased...if not my stomach cannot take it...sian...sum1 who used to be able to eat alot at a time gotta eat little liao...sigh...
anyway will stop here...sian man...sch starting on Monday...grrr...no rest at all...haaz...
take care...God Bless~~~

~sigh...vomiting symptoms r back~
sad sia...these few days keep vomiting after meals...lucky not every meal...if not i really dont know what to do...cos i'm really sick of vomiting...everytime after i vomited, i will juz squat down and cry...cos i'm really tired of all these...sigh...however, 1 thing that is puzzling me is that i thought my condition is getting better...i mean i prevented and avoided getting stressed already...but still...such symptoms r back...sigh...my colleague told me maybe i'm stressed about my coming exams...which i didnt feel it...anyway past few days i've been trying to study...i did...but...i totally forget what i've read/studied...didnt remember a single bit at all...very sad lor...this is the reason why i always cannot do revision...cos i noe i cant remember anything even if i did study earlier...and that is y i always have to study last minute (on the day of exam itself)...and really thank God that these past 2 yrs my results are ok...and thank God i have yet to fail any modules...and praying real hard i will not fail any for the whole course...but...i guess i have to accept it if i really were to fail cos i'm always last minute...sigh...if fail means extra 3mths per module and afew hundred dollars...something i've always been avoiding...i am really hoping that this whole deg course ends asap...anyway i will still do my best during my last min studying...even if i fail...i think God has a reason for it to happen...haa...guess gotta learn to take it easy...and accept what God has planned for mi! heez...
anyway these past few days have been noticing many people getting sick or something like that...juz hope these people get well soon...drink more water...get more rest...God will Bless u! heez...
take care...God Bless!

~sigh~
sigh...my health has really been very unpredictable these days...at one period of time, i can be totally fine, but at the next moment, i will go back into vomitting and feeling uneasy...sigh...juz really hate such things happening to me...at times i really cannot take it anymore and really hope all will end off...sigh...anyway my doc is back from reservist...so i went to visit him (at the clinic) on Monday morning...i told him what had happened during the 3plus weeks he's not around...really suffering man( at one period of time)...sigh...anyway, as usual, medicine increase...more to take...plus 1 more treatment - treating my mental health...sigh...guess i'm going mad...he asked me to list down all the things i think that affects me or stress me (more of unresolved matters)...have already get the list more or less done...will email it to him soon...which means 1st session's gona start soon...
guess what? actually my list did not include my work, cos i think i'm happy with what i am doing now and my new environment...but yesterday i added work in...really sad...been really bothered by itactually since i came into the new environment...but i thought it might get better...but did not...sigh...i'm happy at work now cos i learn alot and get to do afew new projects, one of which is doing up charts and getting it linked to powerpoint, thereafter put into a webpage for the different product managers(of credit card) to view...though webpage not done by me(cos i dont know how to), but i did most of the charts and linking of powerpoint. I really put in my best effort(even brought it home over the weekends to do) and really wana see it successful. This webpage will be launching soon and i'm really happy. But what i'm bothered about is that i feel i did soo much, maybe my hardwork is seen...but i feel i'm not appreciated...really sad abt it...keep wanting to cry when i think about it...my supervisor is really a nice person who taught me alot of things and the 1 who asked me to handle this project...but i feel whenever there's other things more impt about this project, he will consult or discuss with my other colleague and i really feel left out...totally...i mean i'm part of this project, but y leave me out of the discussion? i just feel i'm only being made to do those troublesome parts...i feel i can get any credit out of it...nobody recognised it...feel that i'm just visible when needed help to do the base work...but invisible when the light is shining...but not on me...sigh...i really dont know what to do...i really love what i'm doing...really wana do my best and excel to as high as possible...i think i'm doing well...but unseen...i'm really very sad...i really do not know what to do...these nearly 2yrs doing this management reporting, i've worked my best, there are worse times too...but...i do not get any credit...arghhhhh...really frustrated...and it's getting on my emotions...where it will hit my health...sigh...really sad...
cant continue liao...will stop here...think will cry if i go on...take care

~felt better~
the past few days i've been feeling alot better in terms of health...except at time abit of gastric pains...vomit once or twice...quite happy cos guess health is improving bit by bit...not only that...my emotional health is getting better...less of crying already...realy thank ppl around me...and most of all...thank God...He's the best...i've actually have been quite distant away from God for a period of time...really wana spend time talking to God...but just like now, am 'addicted' to distractive stuff like the computer...and by the time i stop using...i'm too tired for devotion time...really have been neglecting God alot...i only have super short talks with Him b4 i sleep or when i'm walking alone...and in church in too...but i've not done the most important thing which is to read His Word...however, now i'm reading some books given by some friends...these are all Christian books...though is still not a Bible, at least they are somethings that will in a way or other bring me closer to God...but still, nothing beats reading the bible...i really really need to have the discipline on this...
anyway, 2dae i OT till abt 8pm...was thinking of going out...but i think it's something God planned, i eventually went home...duno whether is something good or bad, i went home and had a 3hr quarrel cum talk with my parents...actually my dad has always been angry with me cos he doesnt like my current lifestyle...out early in the morning and home abt 10plus or so...he keeps wondering y i do not need any rest at all...and he's unhappy i'm not always at home n feels i dun love home and family at all...actually i really really do love my family alot...appreciated them alot for bringing me up...guess still...i do not noe how to express...the quarrel was kinda bad till he said he do not want to care abt me anymore...was really sad...the quarrel was filled with tears...for me...my dad, is sum1 who cares and loves me most in the family...without him and his strictness, i wouldnt be who i am now...actually i will really be devastated if he really were to not care about me anymore...love my dad whole lots...but...i guess i'm brought up in an environment where we do not express love for each other even if we really do...each of us family members are like that...how i envy friends whom i hear that they hugged and kissed their parents...say 'i love you' to them...would always wonder why not mine?but still, it is lived this way...guess it cant be changed much...been that man years already...but that doesnt stop me from loving them...only that the way i express is not what they want...that is why my dad is disappointed in me...how i really wish he understands my situation...ppl would say that i should tell him...but to me it's difficult...tried telling him...but his traditional thinking wouldnt budge...so it's kinda no use...and actually i all the while really wana work hard at work...show my worth...(which i felt that not many noticed)...study hard...and eventually earn much more so that i can provide more for them...but still...wat they want is me to be at home...really trying hard now though...
anyway the quarrel digressed...means its actually not really solved...i mean the problem...however, the other topic we talked about actually made mi understand them more...something good...it's on something about the whole big family...misunderstandings of the older generations and stuff...anyway these batch of people are old and mature enough to handle these problems...i wouldnt care much...but what i really hope is that all of their misunderstandings do not affect the younger generation...i really treasure my relationships with my cousins...they are the people who will grow old together with me...that's y i feel that our relationship should be close...i really hope things of the older generation will not happen...
sometimes i really wonder how God does the unexpected...u will really be amazed...although the problem with my dad is not solved, God planned it that i go home earlier juz to at least bring back the bonds with my parents(though it still includes the quarrel)...i noe my dad now feels alot better...cos we really sat down and spend time to talk(the digression part)...
anyway...i really gotta do some reflection on myself too...my attitude...been really too stubborn...whole family has been like that...really gotta spend time and talk to God to give me the strength and wisdom to handle matters esp at home...as for work and studies, He has always been constantly blessing me...good supervisor and colleague, good group members for assignments...i can reall admit till now i really duno much about what i've studied in these 2yrs...but i managed to pass...some even with fairly good results...all these are really God's blessings...i mean i will also have to thank frens around me who helped too...but still, wihout God, i guessed i might not have come till this point...but, i still have to try and do my part by doing revision and stuff...yup...hmmz...
aniway will stop here...take gd care...

~don't be mistaken~
hey all...dont be mistaken that i'm all out to say how bad my parents are and how they treat me...they actually treat me really really well...without them...i wouldnt be here i am now...they are just so wonderful in taking care of me and bringing me up...and i really love them loads even though i am always frustrated with them...but...they always think that i do not love my home at all...guess i duno how to express ba...that's me...yup... :)
~can't take it anymore~
AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
i just hate taking medicine...the thought of it makes me feel even more sick...every morning...when i get up and brush teeth and wash my face...at anytime...i will feel nauseas...even to the point to be vomitting..or even the action of it since nothing came out...first...when i wake up...my stomach will already be feeling uncomfy...den nauseasness takes place...after the process of 'vomitting',i will feel terribly uncomfy...to even the point of dropping tears...thereafter, the thought of having to take my medicine...i really cried...slowly...will take my medicines out...about 8 tablets or so...2 of which i have to chew...which makes me wana cry even more...every tablet into my mouth, my tear drops...usually...this will happen at home in my room where nobody sees...i do not even dare to show my uncomfortness in front of my parents...cos i know they will nag or scold mi...which will lead to lots of restrictions...
juz like yesterday...i called home to ask my mum whether they are going out for dinner...she said yes...i asked her what time and she told mi abt 630 to 645pm...i even told her i'm at bugis...she's the 1 who said will call mi again to see if will fetch me...(which is most prob)...so dat's y i didnt go home first...then 645 came...but still no calls from her...so i called her and asked...i told her that if it's too late den i will be eating out...cos i'm really hungry...but she doesnt allow...she wants mi to go along (partly cos if i dun go my dad will b unhappy)...so...i wait...she said wait another 5mins...in the end is abt 15mins...den my gastric starts to react...feel v pain...then my bro and dad arrived...he asked why i looked so serious...den i told him i got gastric pain...then he got angry and said mi...say if so pain y i dun go eat first?there's no need for mi to join them...(if not wrong the tone of his is that he thinks i dowana have dinner w them...dat's y give that excuse)...but...y doesnt he understand?i took the effort to call home and ask if they are meeting for dinner...but...what i received were unhappy voices...scoldings...they misunderstood me...guess now whenever i'm in pain...gotta vomit or even vomit...i canot let them know...what's the point? they will blame it on any other things they could think of instead of being concerned...i really feel so lost...i'm already sick of my medicines...now...i even have to act that i'm healthy in front of my parents...that's the best i can do...i guess...guess nobody understands my woes and sorrows...Except God...but...nvm...will not elaborate much...oh yah...altho i gotta go thru all these difficulties at home where no one will b concerned...i really appreciate frens out there who really take the effort to shower mi with care and concern...which i'm really happy abt...thanks alot all frens out there who are there for me...and oh...some of my dearest cousins and aunties and uncles too...thanks!...hmmm...k will stop here...gotta work...byeee

Hi peeps...more updates of me again...heez...
Hmm...time past very fast...and i've been at my new place for about 2weeks already...n i survived it and still doing well...heez...many of my colleagues in 18th floor kept asking how am i up there(25th floor)...the 1st thing i will answer them is " Wo An Jing Duo le"...which means i've become alot quieter already...the usual chatty and talkative and loud me has now become sort of quiet...why? cos i'm sitting near many big shots...so no choice...gotta tone down...but i find it better lah...haaz...and another thing is that i've slacked even lesser...always on the go with my work...chat less on msn...and surf less net...haaz...coz behind me sits someone...wldnt say who..but i muz be careful of my actions and what i do at work...anyway...i guess such arrangements for me at work is good lah...so that i can concentrate more on work..learn more...and excel...heezzz...
oh yah...about my title...yup...i'm slowly learning more and more things...today i've learnt new things too..and i'm really happy that i again have the chance to really sit down with people and talk and discuss about new things or even existing issues that needs to be raised and understood...although i admit i have short term memory(STM)...usually will forget what i've learnt...but i know if i keep trying to remember it...it will be beneficial to me...just now did OT...cos' doing month end closing reports...but after that i have some discussions with my supervisor...he wants me to do up charts for enhancement of the reports i've been doing so that the product managers will be able to understand the whole report in an easier manner...n guess what? i have to do up close to 100 charts lor...grrr...but nvm...learning process...he also taught me some tricks about doing up the charts...heez...after that...we had discussions on a part of the credit card biz...and i'm really glad to ahave such discussions...so nice to know more things...heez...now also got to understand more new terms which i do not understand last time...really appreciate him taking the time to sit down with me and another colleague(also another blessing from God as she's always keen to teach me when she can--a christian too :) )...and discuss work related matters...really thank God for all this...cos i've always been wanting to leave...cos not learning...n pay little(still as little now)...but at least now am learning lots...which helps a great deal when i look for job next time...as for my pay and position...i'm still working hard for it...
anyway...i used to think my 'new life' (in a bad sense) has started when i shifted up...but indeed my 'new life' has started...but...in a good way...n i'm glad abt it...hope nothing bad shatters my thoughts...heez...

oh yah...about my title...yup...i'm slowly learning more and more things...today i've learnt new things too..and i'm really happy that i again have the chance to really sit down with people and talk and discuss about new things or even existing issues that needs to be raised and understood...although i admit i have short term memory(STM)...usually will forget what i've learnt...but i know if i keep trying to remember it...it will be beneficial to me...just now did OT...cos' doing month end closing reports...but after that i have some discussions with my supervisor...he wants me to do up charts for enhancement of the reports i've been doing so that the product managers will be able to understand the whole report in an easier manner...n guess what? i have to do up close to 100 charts lor...grrr...but nvm...learning process...he also taught me some tricks about doing up the charts...heez...after that...we had discussions on a part of the credit card biz...and i'm really glad to ahave such discussions...so nice to know more things...heez...now also got to understand more new terms which i do not understand last time...really appreciate him taking the time to sit down with me and another colleague(also another blessing from God as she's always keen to teach me when she can--a christian too :) )...and discuss work related matters...really thank God for all this...cos i've always been wanting to leave...cos not learning...n pay little(still as little now)...but at least now am learning lots...which helps a great deal when i look for job next time...as for my pay and position...i'm still working hard for it...
anyway...i used to think my 'new life' (in a bad sense) has started when i shifted up...but indeed my 'new life' has started...but...in a good way...n i'm glad abt it...hope nothing bad shatters my thoughts...heez...
k will stop here...
take gd care...God Bless...

anyway...will stop here...wana sleep..tired...hope tmr will be a great day~

:: how to work in a hostile environment ::
HOW TO WORK IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
1. Understand that God anoints you for trouble.
Put on the armor of God before going to work.
2. Don't expect to be appreciated.
Your only expectation should be to get a paycheck.
Don't come to work to have personal relationships.
Don't allow what you do to affect who you are.
3. Do your job well, but remember your mission.
God put you there to be a light.
4. Seek opportunities to change the atmosphere without commenting on the problems.
You have a God to talk to.
You're on an assignment.
In quietness and competence shall be your strength.
5. Don't let your environment get inside of you.
You should influence it, not let it influence you.
Stop going to work to be fed - you didn't come to receive, you came to give.
6. Increase your capacity to work with different personalities.
God will often bless you through people you don't even like!
7. Remember where you are does not define where you are going.
This will deliver you from frustration.
God has a plan for your life.
Keep your eye on the prize.
When Peter did this, he was able to walk in what other people sank in!
8. Get the optimum results with minimal confusion.
Be effective without making the environment worse.
9. Don't be associated with one group or clique.
Labels limit your usefulness.
God wants you to work with everybody but be labeled by nobody.
Use all your gifts.
10. Always keep your song near you.
Hold on to your praise.

~Dinner @ Ikea~
Baked Salmon...taste not bad...
Swedish Meatballs~ not bad too...but not fantastic...heez...
a pic of me and xiao mei
hi peeps...yup...mouth-watering pics again?heez...forgot to take the chic wings though...haaz...met up with Leon's frens for dinner...nice bunch of peeps...heez...at first thought will be kinda paiseh cos do not noe them...but everything goes well...xiao mei is Leon's gan mei mei...interesting gal...especially the way she laughs...unique...hmmmz...oh yah...guess wat?it's like i think 2nd or 3rd time in my 21yrs of life that i visited Ikea...sua ku rite? mayb i dont travel that far for no reason..plus no purpose for me to go Ikea...at least this meet up is for dinner...haaz...hmmm...some comments about what are sold at Ikea...the soft toys sold there are really ugly...mayb don't use the word ugly lah...juz not really pleasing to the eyes...haaz...some are really weird...wonder will people really buy it...haaz...and i feel that the furnitures and other stuffs there are not as fantastic as i thought it was...i've always have the thought that they sell very unique and nice furnitures...but guess i'm wrong (own point of view though)...
anyway...giving comments time...how do you pronounce IKEA?
for mi, i pronounce it as I - K - Ee - a (each pronounced as its respective alphabets except for 'a' where it sounds like 'a dog' or maybe 'er' without the 'rr' sound...i used to pronounce it as EeKia...a language all singaporeans understand...but it is wrong...this is cos' it happened that my Australian lecturer brought in a video clip on entrepreneurs for us to watch...one of the entrepreneurs is the founder of Ikea...and he pronounced it as the way i now pronounce it as...but as usual...when i said it that way...most people became 'blur'...haaz...then i will have to use the singaporean language...anyway would like to know which is actually the correct pronunciation?
there's another word where people always mispronounce...Salmon...people always pronounce it as SELLMON...but IT IS WRONG! my GP tution teacher used to tell me that the 'l' should not be read out...i always correct people...but they just dont listen..oh well...i did help...but...haaz...
anyway...will stop here...hope this doesnt bore you...heez...
take care n God Bless~~

Nothing is Impossible...
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 _expression 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 asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times '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 it was, 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 23 times.
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 times and 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 at them 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".
Nothing in this world is IMPOSSIBLE , coz the word IMPOSSIBLE itself says I M POSSIBLE..
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 _expression 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 asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times '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 :-

A Story worth reading
Breakfast at McDonald's . Please read until the end.
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

Are u a Good Cook?
| You Are a Learning Cook |
 You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one. But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice. |

Importance of Friends...
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! " He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, ! Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "! Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.

They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! " He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, ! Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous.
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "! Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
