My humble farm

I am hopeless with any sort of gardening, ask those that has witnessed me kill a cactus!

But with facebook Happy Farm, I have become a happy farmer with plenty of veg and fruits to harvest. Seeing is believing, look at my cute little banana trees!

Happy farming!

两个月了

原本打算头发留多两个月才去剪，但是今早起身后，心痒痒，一直想着剪头发，所以做完运动后，拨了个电话，查询那个单眼皮发型师刚好有空，就去了。

距离上次剪头发，有两个月了。剪了头发后，比一比照片，呵，好像长了那么一点。你看的出来吗？

      

换着是老爸，他肯定看不出来，如往常一样，会问：“有剪过吗？哪里剪过。”然后会叽噜咕噜的说，钱用的不值得。

说真的，这里什么都贵，由其是把价格换回马币，更是让你不舍的花。但是嘛，这个发型师让我觉得值回票价。看着他时而像绣花般细心的挥舞剪刀，时而像交响乐团的指挥师豪迈的动作，真的不能让你不惊叹剪个头发也可以有这么多动作。当然，也要出来的效果让我满意。。。呵呵。女人嘛，要花钱，借口可以一摞摞。

Looking Beyond

Something good to read on…Most of the time, when we are in deep anger and frustration, the only thing that is poisoning us is the feelings we choose to have, not because of what others have done to us.  Is a simple and straight philosophy to understand, yet not easy to master as it is always human nature to be driven away by emotion.

Years ago I used to notice the differences among bus-drivers on the Indiana Avenue line in Chicago – a street often blocked by badly parked cars and huge trailer trucks maneuvering in everybody’s way. Some drivers would get steamed up with rage, clang their bells and shout at the car drivers. At the end of the day they must have been nervous wrecks, jittery and hypertensive, a menace to their wives and children. Other bus drivers, however, could sit and wait for minutes without impatience, calmly whistling a tune, cleaning their fingernails, writing their reports. In other words, confronted with same objective situation, some men lived a hellish life of anger and nervous tension; others had a nice, relaxing job, with plenty of time for rest.

There are times we feel betrayed by the very persons from whom we expected trust and support.
The betrayal maybe for no fault of ours.
Yet, in an instinctive reaction, we become angry, resentful and bitter.
By nurturing such feelings we kill ourselves – slowly, but surely.
We smother ourselves unknowingly, as anger and bitterness lead us to despair.
Because we refuse to throw out the poison that kills us slowly, steadily.

But if we look beyond, and be ready to forgive and bless those who betrayed us, the poison that inflicts pain will dry up and the wounds soon heal.
All bitterness and resentment melts into understanding and acceptance.

Instead of being crushed under the weight of negative and despairing thoughts we rise to face the new challenges of life.
Instead of giving up hope, by thinking that things will never work out, we make them work out from within.
Instead of carrying the fear of being dragged down we trust in our hope which can lift us up.
When we look beyond and face life in more caring, trusting and positive ways we get more out of life.
When we look beyond, to our comfort, we find many things, one by one, take care of themselves.
They are like the variety of plants in the field; we do not have to worry about gathering their seeds and planting them.
They seed themselves to fruition.

The $90 million OZ Lotto Jackpot

What is the headline in australia these few days? Definitely not the on-going swine flu and not the recent death of MJ. Is the OZ Lotto Jackpot that is worth $90 million for the Grand Prize….

$90 million, imagine having that many zeros in your account….

Read the following quotes made by people

-”The real Aussie dream is that tomorrow I miraculously pick seven magic numbers and live out the rest of my days sipping cocktails on my own private beach”

-University Prof “Jackpots of more than $50 million were mathimatically worth taking part in, although you were more likely to die from being struck by lightning.”

Haha…so when my colleague ask me if I want to contribute $10 for a share bet in the Lotto, I just say thank you. I know I don’t have the luck to strike by lightning….so I rather save that $10 and have a nice meal to fill my stomach
