Jigsaw puzzles of life

Life is like a board of jigsaw puzzles, with the hidden pieces everywhere..

Seriously, I feel that my current life is like a board of jigsaw puzzles..and the pictures are slowly drawn but the complete picture can never be seen

Finally, I've got what I wanted- after waiting and waiting for almost 1/2 year plus! Yay!! So glad to make it!! After planning for almost 2 years!!

Things just happens for a reason.. so, please believe it whole-'heartedly'..
It's weird but sometimes I feel that everything has its own momentum. It just cannot be rushed. For example, preparation for my exam. I was taking the last very minute and it's really the last minute to do it. Is it because of my lack of motivation or is it because I know it's just not time yet? Somehow, after this incident, I just believe that when it's time, it's just the time and will just happen?

Complicated yeah? And sounds insane and impossible and miraculous?
Probably I can't convey clearly the message here, but it's just something that has been on my mind for some time..

Now, next step, thinking of the future jigsaw patterns..

All the deadlines are rapidly rushing up.. Feel like a roller coaster at times
but kinda thankful and happy with most of it^^

I'm still looking for those missing pieces and slowly attaching it to the board!!

Life is an opportunity, grab it when you need to!!
So long~

Ganbatte!!!

Ganbatte to all that need it and to me also!!
Need to motivate myself, been lacking it lately..cham

This March month had been so hectic, and in a glimpse of time, it's going to end soon! I just can't deny how fast time flies. I think I've been long winded enough to mention this in my blog always (ya, always right?) and surprisingly, I've never uttered the opposing fact before- that time is so slowly ticking away.

So many things coming up, hopefully smooth smooth smooth..
Been rushing for many things since end of last year, it's like one after another lining up non stop. I predict (ahem!) that life will be as hectic as this months' bout 4 months from now on, or perhaps in September. Why do I feel so? I don't know, weird right? Let's see if my intuition is right again.

But I know there's plenty of plans during/ before that time too (but I'm sure not as busy as this month and since December 2010 happenings)- I'm referring to my work if you're wondering..loads of it lining up and i hope can produce it out soon!

Hopefully things are as expected- positive events lah:) so that all the plans will come in order. I have to rush up, time's flying.

By the way, as for the Japan's tsunami and nuclear plant disastrous event, it was something that really crushed my heart when I first saw it. Devastating, and it's telling us- life is short so treasure it to the max!! Do what you should do, want to do and most importantly, bear no regrets later.
The weather's getting very weird too. My colleague's hometown in Kunming, China was having a 24deg C a day before (last Tuesday) and snowed the following day!! So unimaginable is the weather, and it's just way too scary to think about it (I'm timid enough, forgive me for this..)
Before the Japan's tsunami on 11th March 2011, I was reading this article two days before only, and now that I get the updated news on this, I was not 'that' frightened/ superstitious anymore. Coz hor, the last time there were massive animals that died, something really bad happened after that. So it's just so devastating to read news like these..arrghh!

Anyway, my another message here is: Be courageous and bold enough, never turn back once you're determined- because life is too short to think over it and to waste time over it. Go on, keep moving forward because there might be a lot more of shooting stars out there waiting to be seen. Opportunities still come and go, so no worries.
'Kamparteh'!!

Better continue with my work.
All the best, buddies!!

No longer yesterday

~When you're in a prolonged state of denial, everything becomes surreal and it finally brings to a consequence- you never wished it had happened at all ~

Deep thinking today since the conversation yesterday

As more and more events take place
With more moments flying
It was no longer yesterday
No longer like that anymore
That's why, should never take things for granted..

How fast time flies, how fast people change hor?
I guess these are what we call time changes people
It was a good question asked- why feel like that when you're getting what you wished for?
Things happens for a reason, remember?

My long holiday at home also reminds me of something that I thought I'll never go through it
Somehow it was a relieve leh
=) Glad that it happened
I never thought I would have done it..

But another problem is still tailing up, have to finish it fast and that's it .. 

Anyway, keep moving on yeah!

Sorry- post-home emotions is always like this..need a few days to recover :P
Btw, I have a nice old song to share with you:




so long~ Happy collecting angpows!!!

Law of the nature

Seemed like when everything is in order, suddenly this and that starts getting more problematic
I'm reffering to many unlikely events that had happened in these past few days
really enlightening
but there's a balance, from what i've found
bad things and good things equally takes place
in the end= even events

i was applying for a visa
and at the same time some funds
both were problematic
i'm not going to disclose here until it's finalised..
so just let it be first at the moment

but i managed to try new things too=)
and it seemed to progress pretty positive at the moment
this would cancel out the negative effects of the week
i'm hesitating, but i guess this is the right way
i can't do much for the rest
i hope for that but it doesn't happen
should i?

feel so lethargic with all the uneventful events

weird as it may seemed
but it's just so.. unlikely right? anyway, don't want to think about it!
murphy's law, once again..
is just so true at times..

people say things happen for a reason, i don't doubt it because i still believe it strongly

happy Chinese New Year!!!! (in case i don't blog for the next one week)
Gong xi fatt cai!! Best wishes for the year, stay healthy, happy, prosperous and in good luck always!

Tzu Chi Love Charity Fair 2011

heya~

It's 2011 and Tzu Chi is organising a charity fair for 15.1.2011 and 16.1.2011!
The venue is located just right next to Pasir Ris MRT and I'm sure you'd be able to see it when you turn right from the MRT ticket check-out counter.
What I want to say is, I'm seriously impressed with this!

All the stalls (bout 50 stalls!) were sponsored, tables and chairs, whatever you find there, all were fully sponsored! You can find a variety of food (all vegetarian!) from sushi, chicken rice, rojak, lontong, to pastries and ice creams). I would say, many of those were really yummy~

They promoted  vegetarian food as less meat consumption could significantly harm the earth less. So, eating vegetarian is not only healthy, prevent animal cruelty but also being able to contribute positively to the environment! They have pledges around too, and I'm pledging 5-meals of vegetarian a week. In fact, I've been trying to pledge on this lately (bout one month plus ago, hehe) but I'm just trying my very best at the moment)

What amazed me more is with super high technology, those recyclable PET plastic bottles (those drinking water bottles that we buy now and then) were all fully utilised by the Tzu Chi volunteers in Taiwan to save the environment, by turning them into clothes! Can't believe it? Check this out!

Green colour comes from green 7-ups PET bottles

 

coffee colour from coffee

All from:

left (bottle) to right (thread!)

All these products were made from Taiwan's dumps by Tzu Chi volunteers (@ Taiwan based) through the following love and hard work: From those PET bottles that we recklessly dumped into recycle bins without proper cleaning:

1. caps removed 
2. ring removed (ring of the water bottles, which consists of different material/ colour) 
3. labels removed
4. washed properly (many people who have the 'heart' to recycle never wash their bottles prior to dumping those into recycle bins!)
5. sent for recycling

So, the message here is: Please clean your PET bottles before recycling! It saves much of their hardwork in doing these!
 Thank you!!

They also introduced the production of eco-enzymes.
In fact, my mom has been practicing this at home for more than half year and the product can be so multipurpose- from dish washing, floor cleaning, clothes washing, to skin treatment!!
My mom’s friends are also promoting this awareness among housewives to prepare these and dump it into rivers with high pollution.
Can suddenly feel that the love for the earth has increased tremendously eh?? :D

Well, if you’re wondering how to produce eco-enzymes:
This is it:
(very simple)

1. Stock up brown sugar
2. Throw any leftover food in the bottles (any fruits skin, vegetables leaves, etc, usually vegetables and fruits but not meat)
3.  Remember to have sufficient brown sugar to be utilised by the fermenting bacteria to produce eco enzymes
4. After 2 months, yay, you can use these!! They're odourless, non-sticky and trust me, really useful in anything =) 

It's so much better than using detergent which is harmful to our skin, and polluting to the environment too!

So long~
