Would you do my Eulogy?

Inspired by D-Guy next Door, his expression towards current news & affairs is so natural & in his own style that it makes me ponder " If I were to express my thoughts like this, who wld b my target audience? I mean, Who wld want to know or Understand my thoughts & views?

And then, a couple of mths ago, I finished a book called "HAVE A LITTLE FAITH" by Mitch Albom.

The man of God asked the writer to do his eulogy.
He insisted that he had to know him better.

Yess...EULOGY...this is when people would want to know what kind of person I am. if that's the case... maybe this place would be a good source for the person who would be doing MY EULOGY. I have started inserting some personal thoughts / recently if one notices... hee hee

On the writer, Mitch Albom, I actually like his earlier book "Tuesdays with Morris" better.

I read it twice. It's more touching...I even thought maybe I can do some sharing from the contents... but..haiz... seems like my standard is not there yet.
Give me some time... I'll come back to it again one day.

Sandwich Making Competition

How does this photos look to you? appealing ? Is it talking to you " Come and have a bite "
Well, this is the 1st runner-up in Healthy Sandwich Making Competition.

It's INCREDIBLE !
Us? coming up with something of this standard.

But guess what, I actually self-blamed myself that day after the competition ended.
I thought ... my presentation really...(#(#*$(@&#^*@
Quite a rubbish. So happen I have a record.

The self blame didn't lasted longer than a weekend.
I have accepted me as ME. This is my standard now, and I can't possibly thought I would be standing on the stage blowing pple off, right?

So I reflected on Areas for Improvement ...
1) The part on the MC, ya, that guy knew me and he sending regards to both my boys -- caught me off guard.
From now on, shld someone ask "how do u do?" OR "how are u doing"
I wld reply "(singing) VERY WELL, I THANK U~"
2) I did my homework, BUT I just can't say out the NuTRIONAL BENEFITS of the ingredients we used. ARGHHH ! We used wasabi and I knew pple was scare of wasabi ... in a sandwich. So what is wasabi good at? IT PREVENTS CAVITY !
All these add on to my experience "folder".
And I'm still proud that I was courageous we took part in the competition and EARNED ourselves $100 NTUC vouchers each. *grin*

Flute Fingering Practise

ohh Yess ~
today is ...Wednesday and after delaying for 3 days, I finally pushed myself to take out the flute and start on the fingering.

Memorizing and getting familiar with them - the 1st step is always the hardest isnt it?
I had to make friends with them ~ and obviously I needed some help here...

pasting yellow stickers to mark the buttons which need to be pressed.
and then I went "c...D...C...D...C...D...........D...E...D...E..."

And my accomplishment for the night is... Note C, D & E...

Surrounded by Inspirations~

The 1st point of Inspiration.
Recently I noticed a young, good looking guy from my company.
He always take the same train as me on the way home and alight at Khatib.
My 1st guess was that he stays in khatib.
And then, I cant help but ponder "How come a guy with such fine qualities would head home everyday after work? should'nt guys his age be partying somewhere instead?"

I may have learned to become more out-spoken over the years, but I still find myself SHY when face with guys ard my age. haha... Serious. I'm still introvert in many areas. Give me a uncle, or auntie in the same situation, I wld hv approach him/her long ago.

But I have nothing to lose ma, since I'm already a auntie with 2 boys le.
So one day, I started a conversation with him and now we are friends. *smiles*
see... Another proud moment for me. Ok, 说重点.

重点is as I got to know him better, from him, he reflected that a family oriented guy of our generation still exist because mummy & granny is the reason behind heading home direct after work. A person who is not afraid of standing for what he believes is morally correct. Well, in chia liat world today, 道德堕落的社会， this fellow earns my respect already.


The 2nd point of Inspiration.
I attended a talk By Mrs Ching on 2 Sep @ HQ and I'm so glad I made the choice to go that morning.



From her, it's very obvious that they are practising 爱的教育.
爱的教育...this sounds so familiar to me. All the positive educating tt brings out the good of even someone whom everyone deems is good-for-nothing.

Turning "impossible" to "I M POSSIBLE"
turning capturing bad acts on CCTV to ONLY captures the good acts 24/7.

After attended the talk, I had the impluse wanting to make a proposal to have all XTY levels & abv to arrange a learning tour to NorthLight.
It really remind us the real purpose of having all these classes in FT.

I also had the impluse wanting to go back to DJB again.
Wanting to take up the heavy responsibility of educating the kids.
Sure, it would mean EXTRA Effort to think of POSTIVE ways to communicating w them, how to conduct activities to them, and making them learn what's MORALLY Right which wld benefits them LIFELOng learning.如何做事 - usually can be learn in sch. but 如何做人 - hard to find a good teacher I would say...

如果可以，那我希望明年我可以出来了愿-回去读经班。
因为我相信。。。I believe I can make a difference.

Changes : A confession + new directions + New Look

Ohhh...omg
just realized the last time I post blog was on 19 July!
And that is like 1..2 mths! W/o new postings?!?
