Today is my 21^st birthday… Guess who the first to wish me Happy Birthday… is my dearest Xiao Wei, She wish me at 1.48am using message… Second is Kent who wishes me at 9.56am using message too... Anyway Happy Birthday to myself… So fast 21^st year old, soon or later will reach 30^th year old… For this year my birthday wishes are wish my family, relatives and friends stay happy always and have a good health always… Second is wish I have a prospects ahead… Third is secret…

Today will be going to watch The Dark Knight with two of my colleagues… Hopefully today will be a pleasant day for me… Just receive an email from my colleague, Gary about our life… Is very meaningful to see it… A professor uses a mayonnaise Jar to describe how you can handle your life… I like the way he describe it, is so meaningfully for those people who don’t know how to cherish their surrounding… If there is no family, friends, relatives and those passer-by, your life will be so black and white… Because of them, our life is full of colors… Will upload the story in here for you guys to see… Is always not full in our life without anyone… So people out there, this is my don’t know many times of advice to tell you guys to cherish your loved one.. Don’t wait until you lose it then you will regret…

For my past few weeks, have keep watching those movies that the lead actor/actress will lose their loved one without cherish them so nicely… First is the Ten Promises To My Dog, the lead actress, Fukuda Mayuko acted as Akari who is the owner of Golden Retriever named Sock in this movie. Second is the Money Not Enough 2, is about a mother who had three sons and their mother fall sick when the three sons started to bankrupt and their family had turn upside down and they can’t look after their mother because of money and no enough time to stay at home as they have to restart again to earn back those money… In the end their mother died because of wanted to save her granddaughter… That why people always say mothers are always being there for their kids whenever they need her… But their kids will always forget about their mothers… So I told myself, I have to be more filial to my mum from now on and also to my dad too… As they put a lot of effort in to watch us grow up… We can’t be so selfish that they should give us money when we are growing that time… We must also think that they always have their problems that they won’t tell us one as they don’t want us to worry with them and they want us to concentrate in our studies or works until we are stable in… So parents are super hero and three cheers for them… Got to go back to work again… Will write in the next time…

Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem
almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar
and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
And proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students
if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked
the students again
If the jar was full.
They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand And poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded
with an unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced
two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents
into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor,
as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that
this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things - Family, children, health,
friends, and favourite passions -- things that if everything else was
lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and
car.

The sand is everything else --
the small stuff'.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,'
he continued,
'there is no room for
the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time
and energy on the small stuff,
you will never have room for
the things that are
Important to you.

So...
pay attention to the things
that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Take time out with your friends.

There will always be time
to clean the house
and fix the washing machine'.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
the rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand
and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'...

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Finally I have the answer from someone... Before the person gives me answer, I already know the answer and I don’t feel sad at all as I know the answer he gives me is the answer I want.. As I want him to be happy with the person he love.. May you and her be forever and more loving… Give you and her all my blessing… What I told you guys are that after he gives me the answer, I will concentrate in my works and studies now on.. Will not find any guy to be my boyfriend but if someone do appear now, I will still be friend with him first and know him more before we start the new life of us.. Hopefully my life will be smoothly from now onwards…

Friday, I see the Olympic opening and was so grand.. I love the opening so much and especially the fireworks… So nice, if I was at there, the feeling will be different from now… Saturday, didn’t went to see the fireworks as this year is different.. I was alone as this year is me myself without any partner… And I don’t wish to go as all those years I went to see is with him.. My mouth did say don’t feel anything but for this particular fireworks, I mind as fireworks to me is a promise for a guy to a girl… I love the feeling of someone being there for me when I was at the fireworks… Now me and him as become friends… He will ask me out to accompany him to go to Sentosa for sun-tanning or send me all those blessing messages… I love the way he now treat me as not like that time, we two are in relationship but as become so stranger to each other… Hate that feeling…

Saturday, we went shopping with Donavan, Sandy and Xiao Wei.. Actually Joyce and Lionel should be coming too but we never go to see the fireworks so in the end they also never come and find us and watch the fireworks too… That day we have fun… Donavan spend around $97.30 for clothing and Pizza Hut for our dinner… Sandy spend around $37.90 for shopping and Pizza Hut too… Xiao Wei spend around $32.70 for a pair of jeans from E-base and Pizza Hut for dinner… Me spend around $95.60 for my shopping and Pizza Hut… Yummy… Spend until so much I also never notice it… So fast, this coming Friday is my Birthday Chalet and tomorrow is my 21^st birthday… Hope my wishes will come true this last quarter of year and have a great year ahead… Today is two of my friends’ birthday which is Kent and Gary… Happy birthday guys.. May all your wishes come true and stay happy always…
