life is like "a PIECE of cake"

Just wanna share this story.

Somehow, it did helped me to "woosah woosah" & to think of the bright side of "feeling lost" situation that i'm facing now.

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

"Yuck" says her daughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?"

"Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

"Mom, those are all yucky!"

To which the mother replies:
"Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

girlfriends

One of my gf send this to me ... i find it very meaningful which is why i feel so lucky to have some close gfs with me. heheheh .. though seldom keep in touch and worst, i forgot to wish them on their birthday!!!! there's still a sense of closeness there. :P


A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned to her daughter in a clear, sober voice.

"Don't forget your girlfriends," she advised, swirling the tea-leaves to the bottom of her glass.

"They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you'll have, you are still going to need girlfriends. Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them. And remember that 'girlfriends' are not only your friends - but your sisters, your daughters, your daughter-in-laws and other female relatives too. You'll need other women. Women always do."

"What a funny piece of advice," the young woman thought.

"Didn't I just get married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake, a grown-up, not a young girl who needs girlfriends! Surely my husband and the family we'll start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!"

But she listened to her mother; she kept contact with her girlfriends and befriended more each year.As the years rolled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mum really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, girlfriends are the mainstays of her Life.

After 52 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:

Time passes

Life happens

Distance separates

Children grow up

Love waxes and wanes

Hearts break

Careers end

Jobs come and go

Parents die

Colleagues forget favours

Men don't call when they say they will


BUT girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girlfriend is never further away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley - and you have to walk it for yourself - your girlfriends will be on the valley's edge, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you. Or come in and carry you out. Our daughters, daughter-in-laws, sisters, mothers, sisters-in-laws, mothers-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, extended family and friends bless our lives! The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would we. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.

Comment to the Monkey Story

After reading http://hongfee.blogspot.com/ 's Traditional Habit - A Monkey Story .... i think i will be like the other new monkey that will not attempt to get the bananas but will ask the reason-lah (but then, if there're no more old monkeys around to pass down the reason, where can i get the reason-leh :P )

Just like my first experience in Jkt / some new place ... i will definitely listen to the advice passed down by my seniors. Partly also due to the fact that i'm not the "brave" type and thus, anything tends to scare me easily. But then, the are the "Seniors". In other words, they do have more experience than me and buat apa i question them on the advice??

Back to the above monkey story ... i think my bf's thought is totally different ... he will actually think that the monkey shld find the way to get out from the cage such that there's a higher chance to get other bananas ... hehhehehe

WoW

War of the World (that was the above title) :P

Just watched it .... while watching it, was wondering how the story will ends as the earth is being attacked by alien!!! Watched it yourself to find out the ending.

Next ... F4 (Fantastic 4 :P)

Care Bears

This is my favourite cartoon .. i got this from a Philippine children magazine.

Nothing more to comment on this ...
Just need to upload some picture coz i haven't upload any pictures for a very long time ...
:P

finally ....

the end is finally near ... i can't wait to go back home ...
after 1 trip here, i've learned that i was way tooo lucky during my previous project as i was working in a somehow rather harmony working environment coz i'm practically just concentrate in my own job scope. Here, somehow, the scope is so wide. And, to realise that there are many pariah management ppl outside from my previous project.

To have the team to strive & respect you, you have to learn & work to gain the respect from them!!!

And ... i cannot expect someone whom i respect so much and not acting professionally when i needed the professional advice just because of not having the mood to answer my question!!! Even if it's Stupid or Funny question from me, if i don't understand the reason you are asking me to do it, i can't proceed with a blank mind. DISAPPOINTED!!!

working like a shit ... and ... does it worth it???

some ppl ... just to avoid responsibility and "ma fun", pushing everything to a person like me who actually know so less ..
either "these ppl" are trying to make me feel so stupid (giving high hope to other person who think that i might be able to help them when in fact, i can only try my best coz i don't know much) or "they" are just avoiding troubleness.
nvm ... i can't bother much either ...

i hate it when my safety is like being jeopardized!!!!!!!!! (this is another story...tell more when i have the chance to online) ... am i wrong for being scared and less courage than any other ppl??? NO-MAH
