Found-ed: Prince Charming

This blog post it will be titled "Wanted: Prince Charming" , if it were to be posted 3 months ago. Maybe, with a long list of what I wish to have in MY fairy tale ?

Well, let me tell you that this princess has finally found her prince charming AND is ready to live happily ever after together ....

That doesn't mean that she will never have to work hard for it, both of them will need to.

Thank you for giving me a chance to live in my fairy tale, or should i say , our fairy tale =)

To my one and only

19 years ago, he was born and i'm no longer the only child in the family.

He came and brought along so much laughters, happiness and joy into my life.

He might be a bit disobedient at times , sometimes rebellious, but I believe he is clear of what he wants.

On this blessed day, I wanna wish you a happy 19th birthday !!

you know i love you =)

loving you always,

Che che

the world will never be the same without you

Yesterday , we celebrated the birthday of one of my favorite inventors of all time.

‎"I will not say I failed a thousand times, I will say I discovered there are a thousand ways that can cause failure."

THOMAS EDISON

If he is still alive today , he will age 164.

The invention lighted the civilization of all earth links.

Gone were the days has to end before the sun sets

or even burning midnight oil, desperately.

So tell me , will the world ever be the same without him ?

Its finally coming to an end

YAY!

Shall I say , I've been waiting for this day to come for so long!!!!

The last day of year 2010 is finally here.

Since I've make sense out of what happens around me , I never liked years which have even numbers.

And today I shall wave goodbye to 2010.

You've brought out the worst and the best in me, thank you for all the challenges that I've went through, without knowing that I could breakthrough those limits.

I'm grateful for all these to happen , but still

2010, you SUCK TO THE CORE !!!!

SO LONG FOREVER ! =D

I'm really looking forward to 2011!

I wish that its going to be an awesome year ahead, with lots to happen, learn and celebrate.

Wishing you a great year ahead too !

New year resolutions anyone ? =D

P.S.: have been slacking alot in helping to reduce global warming. Hope I'll get to be more aware about it and to help more in 2011. A new year resolution ? Join me lah! =P

one year and still counting

A year ago, on this very day I was in Taiwan.

It was a great jamboree where all the people of my age was gathered there to share what they've done to make the world a better place or perhaps what they've learned from it.

I was inspired and grateful be part of this mission. My decision to have this trip there as my 21st birthday present was never more right. Also on this very blessed occasion, being inspired and grateful I took a big step in life.... to not eat meet anymore!

Its been a year since i started my meet-free diet. Thank you everyone for the support!

Especially my family , my parents who are willing to not have any meet on the dining table (most of the days when I'm at home). And all my friends who are willing to choose places with vegetarian on the menu whenever we share meals together.

A year passed.

My brother asked me yesterday, " so? do u feel the world is a better place to live now?"

I was speechless.

Come to think of it I may not even have an answer to why did i decided to go on a no meet diet, vegetarianism? I remembered when I was 15 , I knew that this day will come. For health? For the animals that were sacrificed to be the delicacies on the dining table?

haha ,I still cant tell.

For the past one year , I must confess that it wasn't easy.

There were nights when I had dreams about having my favourite dishes e.g. sweet and sour crab, and then waking up feeling weird. Or looking at the latest KFC advert, tempted, sometimes drolling over the latest tomyam fried chicken. And after all of it , finding myself in a bliss of guilt =\

hmm.....

BUT STILL i'm glad that I made it through the year.

I may not have a very solid reason for all of it, but i still strongly and "solid-ly" believe that its the right thing to do for myself. A year passed and i think the coming days will not be that hard.

Hopefully, in days to come, I will find the reasons to all of it and then chase those "evil" thoughts away!

Would you wanna join me ?

Have a Happy Christmas and a blessed new year everyone!

its time for a new beginning =)

a lil bit of Christmas

Despite all the classes and projects going on lately , its time to rub some Christmas mood in here!

heard this song in the mall just now and I finally found it.

Its MY Christmas song of the year!

Happy Christmas everyone ! =)

through the lens

From 20 to 27 November the world will be celebrating the WEEK OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN.

The trend on facebook is to

" change your profile picture on Facebook for a cartoon of a hero of your childhood and invite your friends to do the same ... the target? These days will celebrate WEEK OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN! For a week we will not see a single face ... "real" on Facebook but it is an invasion of childhood memories! Come back to us kids!"

Ironically, I came across a clip also on facebook, may the clip speaks more of the celebration:

I was touched after watching this video, feeling very grateful to grow up healthily , now a young lady. I have a family who loves me , completing my degree in less than 12 months time and most importantly I never had to worry about my next meal and where to hide my myself to be safe, just like the little girl in the clip.

The cruelty of the man firing and the willingness of the photographer to allow all of it to happened, does this innocent little girl deserve all these? Whats wrong with adults nowadays?

As we celebrate the WEEK OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN. Maybe its not all about following the trend on social networks , watching clips, giving out donation and all. Maybe its time for us "grown ups" to think about the essential.

For the past 22 years, some of the very short years of life, I've came across some of the extreme in children. Bare in mind, the some of examples bellow may not be found as far as places like Afghanistan, Bosnia, China etc, most of it are actually as close as some of the kids next door :

• Bruises on their little hands and feet, from where?? Mom and dad? or even some uncle that stays with them ? - kindergarten kids
• sexuality abused by the "uncle" in the welfare home that i stay.- by a 4 years old girl
• "I heard daddy have a girlfriend , mommy shouts at daddy. " - by a 6 years old girl
• "After Chinese tuition , i have to go to English tuition , then i got swimming class, i also got Ballet class, speech and drama ..... i eat my lunch in the car and i nap at my mommy's office" - by a six year old girl
• " You stupid girl, why are you so silly? how many times do i have to tell you...." a mother shouted at her 4 years old girl.
• 10 year old girl got rapped by her bus driver - Quite a big news on the newspaper not too long ago . I remembered in primary school, the bus driver is some of the best person to trust.
• Child labor, a day of wage lower than 1 USD? Also forced to stay together. Do they still remember their parents?
• Increase in obesity in children? People are too rich? food company making money of out children?
• Increase in depression and suicidal cases in children as young as 10 ? Sorry mom, i didn't get the A that you want..
• Young girls are forced to stop schooling after the age of 10. For what? to get married and be "productive"
• Remember all the scenes in the movie "slumdog millionaire" ?

Of course, the list will go on and on and on and on till next year. So, when it comes to next year, will there be new entries and the list will still go on till the following year? Maybe explaining to a child of "what is your right ?" will be a bit hard, but ask ourselves, do they deserve all this treatment? Do they need to go through all these to to become a better person?

Or are we "grownups" just too selfish to use them for fame and profit? Just like the adults in the clip?

Remember when we were kids, we hated so much when adults forced us to do things that we seriously dislike? Looking at other kids and wonder why do i not have as much fun they have?

Worst still, some "grownups" even subconsciously influence kids that "doing this or that" is actually wrong and doing "what i say" is actually right. I'm sure you would agree that if you were a kid, getting all these from the "grownups" is terrible. Having the maturity you have now, you would fight back. So much so that time has changed, i'm sure kids nowadays would still think the same.

Hence, my concept of celebrating this year of WEEK OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILDREN is simply just to give them what they deserve, the rights will come next. They deserve to be loved, healthy and to be educated, they shouldn't be worrying like an adult at such young age.

Remember that we were once a child.

And look at us now, all grown up and well off.

Maybe its time to be nice to the kids now, so that later they'll be as good or better than what we are now.

Tell me, What is your concept for this year??
