Blogging it, V

Went down to Muar for the day with Dad and Mom and met up with a pile of relatives. Found out that I have a really professional promoting agent for an aunt. A pity it doesn’t seem to run in the genes… she is GOOD o.o Almost had me convinced that I need more health drinks @.@

Didn’t feel well after the outing (travelled a total of 5 hours by car. Oh.My.God.). I doubt that I’ll be going anywhere tomorrow; just not up to it T.T

And, choosing to stay home today instead of following Mom to MV and shopping, I ended up giving the ‘usual’ been-there done-that talk to Kitty. Talked about Kuen Cheng and its changes and what being in Senior 1 is all about, talked about how we can’t decide what we want from our lives and what the best philosophy to take on it is, talked about friends and what they mean to us and what we want from friendships, talked about the role of education… etc etc etc. Gah. Now I feel old….

Pickled Thoughts for Tea, V

Just more words to think about (from a chain email from Ruth):

• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,
  you are more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation,
  you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.
• If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death,
  you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.
• If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep,
  you are richer than 75% of this world.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace,
  you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
• If your parents are still married and alive,
  you are very rare, especially in the United States.
• If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful,
  you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
• If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder,
  you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch.
• If you can read this message,
  you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
• You are so blessed in ways you may never even know. If you are feeling blessed, repay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others. A blessing cannot be kept.  If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people.

Any comments?

I don’t know about you guys, but this gave me plenty to think about. Unfortunately, I don’t think anybody wants to read about it XD so I’ll leave it at that. After all… you have your own things to think about after reading those lines.
