a few words to share

July 31, 2008

and man, Red Cliff’s one awesome show!!!!!!!!!! i highly recommend it (but it’ll be very tiring to follow the subs if you don’t know mandarin). great acting by tony leung & takashi & the girls & the the guys who acted as Cao Cao & Zhao Jin Lang… overall great show.. can’t wait for the part 2 of it!! when will it be released???? hate cliff hanger like that…

and today hasn’t been productive… why??? my computer (office’s) was infested with spywares and adwares and whatever wares… so i can’t surf the net, can, however, go on MSN… and i spent the whole morning trying to install the anti spywares and do system restore and such, and now, it’s finally up and running…… awesome!!!!

and that’s it for today..

i know, lame post…. but what more can you expect from a lame person? oh, i need to wash my car….

when you’re like me… following the xiaxue vs dawn yang saga…

it was interesting at first, and then the interest fizzled because if you truly want to follow the whole thing, man, there was way too much materials to read… a lot and i do mean a lot…

but so far, most that i read (or should i say all) is rather anti dawn and pro xiaxue.. but it’s entertaining lar, if you’re really bored and have nothing on your plate…

so now, after drowning myself in lots and lots of brow beating articles, it’s time for me to work harder…. geesh…. numbers, people!! numbers!!! gotta hit my target and meet my quota!!

got faith the size of a mustard seed, and hoping to plant it and one day it’ll flourish into a full blossomed tree.

it’s always easier said then done, putting the word “faith” at the corner of your mouth. whoever you see discouraged, you encourage with two little words:”have faith”. but yet, when it comes to your own personal difficulties, can you tell yourself to have faith?

maybe you can tell yourself that. but telling and doing it are two different actions. taking the step of faith, often requires a lot of trust and courage. have i trusted Him enough to completely let Him take charge of things?

have i finally learned to trust Him? to submit to Him my plans? often we prayed only when the worst strikes us. and even after we pray, have we the faith to know that our prayers will come to pass?

unfortunately, for myself, my faith fluctuates. high and low. at times i have great faith in certain things (probably matters with higher probability of success rate). and other times i just couldn’t have that courage to believe things can be done for and done with. whatever happen to my overcoming spirit?

doubts are no doubt a game that the devil plays. maybe what i should really tell myself is to set foot in the truth, and the truth will set me free. nurture my faith, that it may be a full grown tree ripen with fruits. and that my prayer will be that whatever that i had prayed, i will know that it will come to pass.

faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole staircase

latest obsession

July 25, 2008

i know… i have a LOT of obsessions… yes, that i agree….

and my latest is none other than these two:

Schubert’s Sonata in A Minor, performed by Diane Walsh:

and Mozart’s Sonata in D Major for 2 Pianos, performed by Gerwig & Gonzalez:

and, i’ve finally gotten hold of Schubert’s Sonata in A Minor D845 off the internet for FREE!!! (yes, i’m cheap i know, but why buy when you can print off the net, right?). and i’m still looking for the sheets for Mozart’s Sonata in D Major for 2 Pianos.. and i’ll probably be the only idiot playing both primo and secondo for that piece…

and yes, i know i still have yet to complete my Ah Vous Dirai Je Maman… i’m almost done with that, just needing to polish up the last 2 variations (which sounded horrendous when i played T_T)

nevertheless, i’ll take my own sweet time n practice whenever i lay my hands on a piano!!! *with determination*

I HAVE NO TIME

July 24, 2008

to answer questions as to storing seaweed in the fridge or let it die outside (but i have time to blog)!!!!!!

in a very pissy mood now. ROAR!!!!!!!! no, it’s not PMS!!! it’s just very very old fashioned lack of sleep.

and a little of depression

and a little of retardation (not me, mine you!!)

and a little of irritants

and a little of annoyance

and it all adds up to a pissy blogger… .

and no!!! we don’t need to cook one vegetable + one chicken dish + one seaweed soup + one leftover chicken…. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there’s only 3 of us!!!!!!! for goodness sake…. why all the hassle just because the worries of seaweed not able to last ??????????

anyways.. seaweed is dry, so, i shall be able to store it for a relatively long period, right???? any ideas???? to my rationalization, seaweed can be stored in cool, dry, place for long period of time, as long as i don’t wet it, it’s fine, right!!!!!!

4 dishes is really too much for 3 persons…. even 3 dishes are killing me…. i’m on a diet, u know….. and i thought you’ve put on weight and wanna cut down some??

but nevermind… cooking is just a small matter… just no need so many dishes lar….. I HATE WASHING UP YOU KNOW!!!!

dream catcher

July 14, 2008

the Ojibwa native americans believed that if you hang a dreamcatcher above yourself when you sleep, then only sweet & good dreams will come to you, and all bad dreams will be filtered by the dreamcatcher…

rather tacky, you say? well the natives believe heavily in this little cultural remnants of theirs, and today, the dreamcatcher is a popular souvenir..

however… aren’t we all, as homo sapiens, capable of being an animate dreamcatcher? rather than relying on an inanimate, ornamented traditional memorabilia to “catch” your bad dreams, why not, instead, be the active party and press forward to capture your own good dreams…

are we to succumb to our environment and stay stagnant? are we to forgo what we want to pursue just because the society tells us that it is of no use? do you give up your dream because the society tells you that you will gain no success into it??

do you dare to dream? do you dare to catch your dream and live your dream? not all of us have the courage to forgo the norm and be outstanding, pursuing their own lifelong dream and be outstanding. rather, the timidly self will often succumb to authority and had to let go of his/her dreams in pursuing an idealistic world.

but aren’t we all capable of living up to our dreams? then if so, why don’t we all do it?? why submit to the norm? why be indifferent? why not go full swing and jump at the opportunity of being different??

maybe of security? financial security is very much needed, true. but hey, you only live ONCE… why not do something different? who knows, you might regret not pursuing your dreams.. and even if you did live your dream and find it totally ridiculous, you’ve got the wisdom in telling, i’ve been there done that and it’s not worth it??

why not give it a try? be a dream catcher. catch your dream before it passes by and hid at the back of your memories… live life to the fullest. have no regrets.. catch your dreams, live up to it, and be the dream catcher.
