I never know i can dance~~ haha....touch trainin process..but fun and exciting!

 

Thanks for dear carograher Angela and her dear make-up artist for my make over for the event.

 

 

If my boss is not on business trip, I wouldnt have left office on time =>

If my colleagues wasn't heading towards the same direction with me, I wouldnt have crossed the road =>

If I did not cross the road, I wouldnt have met the couple friends in Lau Pa Sat and wouldnt have talked with them =>

If I did not stop by Lau Pa Sat, I would have crossed the zebra crossing earlier =>

If i crossed the zebra crossing earlier => I wouldnt have been shocked by the huge truck....

 

The scene was still flashing in my mind, the braking sound, my scream, other pedestrians' shocking sounds.........

 

The truch was turning right from robinson road to a narrow road. Rather than reducing the speed, appareantly,  he enjoyed too much the companion of the lady sitting at the passenger seat , I guess, OR tried to impress her by his wonderful turning skills, he speeded up when i was in the middle of the zebra crossing.

 

I could have died...or injuried.....but i was happy that it was not true. I am still intactly alive....then i decided that today is a bad day for me and i really should go home quickly and safely and stay home. I tried to walk firmly, watch out cars carefully and tried my best to reach home fast yet safe.

 

I couldnt stop asking me, will i regret accompanying the colleague for the short journey if anything bad happened to me? will i regret being really hash with a friend whose bday is today just becos i dont like his attitude? will i regret forgetting saying I love you daddy mummy last nite when we were having video conference?will i....?

 

I realize that i couldnt know and wouldnt know the answers. But, i do know that this didnt happen and i do have my chance to continue my happy life. However, it did remind me that "DO treat ur everyday as your last day, and ENJOY every single second of it -- being quarreling with friend (at least u hv a friend who u can be angry with), struggling with your work (at least u have a job to struggle with) or whatever suffer u thought you are having (at least you are ALIVE to suffer) haha!

 

YEAH! Happily LIVING everyday!

昨天和一个很久没有见的朋友吃饭，一个我心目中的传奇人物。我没有想过一年多不见，人的变化竟然可以这么大。到底什么变了，我到现在还没有体会出来，可是那种变化渗透在他的举手投足之间，难以言喻。

 

本以为一位朋友很久没有见面了，聊聊天会是件很开心的事情，可是不知道为什么总觉得心里闷闷的。回家的MRT上，我终于知道了，因为今天的主人不快乐。是的，坐在一个精致的餐馆，吃着昂贵的美味，空气中的快乐细胞却不成正比。

 

其实，我也许过于主观了，快乐本身就不是个什么东西，定义也随着不同人的追求所变。他现在有的也许是很多人正在追求却得不到的。又也许，他现在想追求的正是我们每个人都拥有的。

 

真不知道下一次见面会是什么时候，而他又会变成什么样子。忽然之间，很想对所有以前认识朋友们问候一句：你们好吗？快乐吗？

 

My first time in Chinese Garden since i have come Singapore. Partly the ticket is not as cheap yet it is so far away and so crowded on the day. Finally, this year, under the "special" arrangement of Mr Brandon Ong, I visited Chinese Garden. HaHa....Not too bad....though it was really hot and i was in my office dress which made the climbing thing difficult.

Six Tips for Happiness

Advice from Tal Ben-Shahar.

Tai Ben- Shahar is a lecturer in Harvard University. Twice a week, he gave classes to some 900 students who attend his class on what he calls "how to get happy." He achieved personal happiness by taking himself off the tenure track -- because not having to publish makes him happy. His class offers research from the relatively new field of positive psychology, which focuses on what makes people happy, rather than just their pathologies.

1. Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions -- such as fear, sadness, or anxiety -- as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Rejecting our emotions, positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness.

2. Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable. When this is not feasible, make sure you have happiness boosters, moments throughout the week that provide you with both pleasure and meaning.

3. Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind, not on our status or the state of our bank account. Barring extreme circumstances, our level of well being is determined by what we choose to focus on (the full or the empty part of the glass) and by our interpretation of external events. For example, do we view failure as catastrophic, or do we see it as a learning opportunity?

4. Simplify! We are, generally, too busy, trying to squeeze in more and more activities into less and less time. Quantity influences quality, and we compromise on our happiness by trying to do too much.

5. Remember the mind-body connection. What we do -- or don't do -- with our bodies influences our mind. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy eating habits lead to both physical and mental health.

6. Express gratitude, whenever possible. We too often take our lives for granted. Learn to appreciate and savor the wonderful things in life, from people to food, from nature to a smile.
