愛是什麼?

外國有一組專業人士向一些4~8歲的小朋友提出了這個問題︰
「愛是什麼?」他們的答案超乎想像!

「當我的奶奶得了關節炎,她不能彎下腰塗腳趾甲了。
於是我爺爺總是給她塗,
甚至當他自己的手也得了關節炎仍繼續。這就是愛。」
- Rebecca,8歲


「當有人愛上你,他說你的名字時很不一樣。
你會很放心讓他說你的名字。」
- Billy,4歲


「愛是當一個女孩灑上香水,
一個男孩塗古龍水,然後他們出去,互相嗅著。」
- Karl,5歲


「愛就是當你出去吃東西時,你把大部分的薯條給他們,
而沒有叫他們把他們的給你。」
- Chrissy,6歲


「愛就是當你累了仍能讓你笑的東西。」
- Terri,4歲


「愛是當我媽媽為爸爸煮咖啡時,
她在給他之前先嘗一口,以確保味道是好的。」
- Danny,7歲


「愛就是你常常接吻。然後當你吻到累了,
你們仍希望待在一起,而且你們聊得更多。
媽咪和爹地就是這樣的。他們接吻時很噁心!」
- Emily,8歲


「當你停止拆聖誕禮物,而去聆聽時,愛就在。」
- Bobby,7歲


「如果你想愛得更好,你應該由你討厭的朋友開始去愛。」
- Nikka,6歲


「愛就是當你告訴一個男孩你喜歡他的襯衫,
他就天天穿著它。」
- Noelle,7歲


「愛就像…一對小老太婆和小老頭兒對彼此認識得十分透徹,但他們仍能做好朋友。」
- Tommy,6歲


「在我的鋼琴獨奏會上,我看著所有的人都看著我,
我被嚇壞了。當看到爹地向我揮手微笑,我不害怕了。
他是唯一一個這樣做的。」
- Cindy,8歲


「我的媽媽愛我比任何人都多。
你不會看到其他人晚上臨睡前親吻我。」
- Clare,6歲


「媽咪會挑最好的雞塊給爹地,這就是愛。」
- Elaine,5歲


「愛就是媽咪看到爹地一身臭汗的樣子卻仍然說他比Robert Redford還帥。」
- Chris,7歲


「愛就是當你的小狗舔你的臉的時候。
縱使你獨留牠一整天後,牠還會興奮地舔你的臉。」
- Mary Ann,4歲


「我知道我姐姐愛我,因為她把她所有的舊衣服給我,
不得不出去買新的。」
- Lauren,4歲


「當你愛一個人時,你的睫毛會上下躍動,
小星星從裡面蹦出來。」
- Karen,7歲


「愛就是當媽媽看到爸爸上廁所時仍不覺得噁心。」
- Mark,6歲


「你真的不應該說”我愛你”,
除非你清楚你真的這樣。
如果你是真的這樣想,你應該多點說。人們有時忘記了。」- Jessica,8歲



最後,
作家和講師Leo Buscaglia表示他曾獲邀為一個比賽的評委,去選出最有愛心的小孩。


勝出者是一個四歲的孩子。

他的鄰居,一位公公剛失去了他的妻子。
看到公公哭了,小男孩走進公公的院子,
爬到他的膝上,然後就坐在那兒。
他的媽媽問他跟公公說了什麼,

小男孩說︰「沒什麼,我只是讓他哭。」

World Vision - Sponsor A Child, Making A Greater Impact

        The first thing i did when coming back to my home after months studying at KL was checking the letter box whether there was any letter sent for me. Sadly, there was none :'(

        Start missing those days where we sent some greeting cards or letters to our friends by snail mail, where we picked those cards carefully by ourselves and wrote those messages with a sincere heart and corrected it again and again for the best sentences. Unfortunately, those real and touchable greeting cards are gradually replaced  by the technology, where people simply type in messages and press the button 'send' or even worse just 'forward' message wrote by others.

        But to my surprise the second day my dad passed me a letter. A letter by the World Vision Malaysia. FYI, i made some donations to the World Vision since i was in secondary school, so every year i will receive a letter for donation and child sponsorship.

 World Vision, building a better world for children.

Feel the warmness of this festive season with this cute design at the back of the envelope!

        In case you don't know, World Vision is an international Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. They serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. World Vision helps the poor to help themselves by working with them to build sustainable futures for their children, families and communities.

        I was always wanted to sponsor a child. But as a student, sponsoring a child is quite a burden for me (RM 780 per year for Asian countries and RM 960 per year for non-Asian countries), normally i will made some donations with my siblings, but together with 45+ course-mates we once sponsored a child during secondary school. Hopefully with this post, YOU can make a greater impact to the world by sponsoring a child or making some donations, especially during this festive season of Chinese New Year (with some money from your Angpau :D)!

        This festival is a time of family reunions and the sharing of good things with one another. In the same spirit of sharing during this Chinese New Year, you too can bring joy and hope to families in need, by sponsoring a child or sharing about the Child Sponsorship Programme with your friends and families.

森藏的秘密 --- 不达景




森 藏 的 祕 密 。


祕 密 藏 在 森 林 裡 。



我的心底森藏著ㄧ座森林。



森林裡長滿著祕密。

粉紅色的祕密,粉藍色的祕密。


天真的祕密,單純的祕密。


黑色的祕密,光明的祕密。




祕密,像藏在地窖的果實,暗暗發酵。



我以為我把祕密藏的很好。祕密卻神不知鬼不覺的偷偷開溜。



我隱藏很好的美麗性感,我隱藏很好的恐懼不安,漸漸漸漸的在心裡打結。



我只好曝曬祕密,邀請陽光進入我的心底。



像發霉一般的氣味,開始找到愛的祝福。

當所有祕密開始和好的時候,我的心也得到安靜的力量。




我 在 森 林 裡 繼 續 探 索 森 藏 的 祕 密 。



--- 我 是 不 達 景 , 我 繪 我 會 的 。


I Promise Myself

I PROMISE MYSELF

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person i meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best
and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and
press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and
give a smile to every living creature i meet.

To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,
so long as I am true to the best that is in me. 

--- The Secret

Let's get back the positive energy

Dear the lovely Universe,

I will pass all the four subjects in my professional exam.

        The professional exam was ended and i'm writing a letter to the Universe. Applying the Law of Attraction, i hope the Universe does receive my little request with my positive wavelength and my gratitude towards everything that surrounding me and happens in my life. Yes, i did encountered some miracles or unbelievable things happened in my life recently & i felt that it just happened to be so coincidentally. I shared some knowledge i know about The Law of Attraction to some people too, and are happy to share with them and i do hope that this awesome & incredible law that make some changes, in fact is BIG changes in their life!

        I brought the book "The Secret" by Rhoda Byrne back to years ago when i was in the secondary school and "The Power" before i entered into university and felt so happy that i was attracted to this awesome book and know the greatest secret in the book. I'm so lucky that among all the peers, i was the earliest one "exposed" or introduced to this law but back to that time i didn't applied it well in my life until recently i found out it did happened when i was totally in the positive mood. Basically the Law of Attraction is about the three main things, firstly, send your requests or whatever you want to the Universe; second, visualize your dream and feel like and believe that you're actually having them; lastly, appreciate and feel gratitude to the things that surround and happened to you and always in the positive mindset. Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about, so dream big, feel it and believe it!

        I downloaded the videos of The Secret in my mobile phone and watched them whenever i need some positive energy and before i go to bed. I feel so motivated and grateful after watching those videos and believe that our destiny are written by our own, we're the author or the director or the architect of our own life. If you need some positive energy or motivation, the video here are for sure the greatest source of your happiness. Enjoy!

p/s: Hope she'll meet her prince charming soon and hope he will pass his professional exam :)

Once is enough

Came across this quote today in the library:

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” ― Mae West


It was so true & meaningful,
once is enough if you do it right at the right place on the right time.

Life is short.
Just like a brief candle.
Make sure you live it to the fullest,
dance like there's nobody watching,
love like you'll never be hurt,
sing like there's nobody listening
& live like it's heaven on earth. 

I wish i always are.
