Happy Momma's Day

"Happy Mother's Day!"
~ to all the wonderful women that proudly holds the title 'mother'
~ to my Suseela ( my lovely mother) who puts up with all my irrationalities
~ to Suja chechi , the proud "owner" of two kids
~ to my other 2 sisters , though the title is not there yet, your care and love is in par with mum's
~finally to me=)
( hey I really got the wishes , my friends claim that I scold like a mother and care like one as well, so fair enough, I accept the title , though I am not particularly sure when I do the scolding part, hmm..)

Anyways, lets spread the joy and love to all.Tomorrow , will be a brighter day, so jolly up! Smile or hug the person next to you, makes your day and theirs. Oh by the way, I want to share this poem that someone send me.Its about women, I love it!

A woman...
One of the most beautiful creation of GOD
You can feel her innocence in form of a daughter
You can feel her care in the form of a sister
You can feel her warmth in the form of a friend
You can feel her passion in the form of a beloved
You can feel her dedication in form of wife
You can see her divinity in form of mother
You can see her blessings in form of grandma


How true? Yet we are called the complicating ones???=)

You Tell Me

I read this phrase from a book today and I liked it immediately.You do the interpretation for it, I have done mine. Its from the book "Little lessons to live a big live" by David Avrin. I want to get this book very soon. I would have presented it to my dad if he was physically around, because with just flipping trough a few pages and reading it I fell in love with the writing.Its worth reading and meaningful. Once I get it and I am done with the reading, will pass it to someone who deserves it!

Clueless But I Think I Know Who...

Do you believe in miracles? When its plainly put like that you may say no, but what if you experience it? One thing for sure , I did experience and I do believe! I met with an accident last week (May 1 st).A bike hit my car in front of the temple. My already depressing day had just got worse I thought! Me ALONE and accident??? , even the thought of it shudders me! But ,life is not a smooth ride,right?Anyway,I cursed of course ( though how many of those self help books and motivating books you read, when you are put in the situation , you would definitely curse! Can you imagine me saying something like " Oh Angel!" or "Oh Love!" when I just got hit, you would probably think I have gone insane!) and parked Sylvia, and came out to confront whatever just happened.Oh by the way, the man fell off , with bruises and all in the hand and his side mirror was broken and yes, with at least 8 to 10 people gathering in the area. I walked up to him with the worried face of course and asked him if he was okay. He had the annoyed face on and looked beyond me as if he was searching for something. Infact all of them were looking for the car! Huh??? For a moment, I was kinda blur. All of them , mind you all, did not recognize me , it was as if I am not existing there. The only guy who knew I was the driver of the car just smiled and left.I was waiting for a good 5 minutes, thinking what is going to happen with these whole lot of people standing there , but one thing for sure they are on his side though it was his mistake.I had all sort of questions running in my mind, but with god's grace I faded in their vision.Probably,they all have cataract? I don't know, I could 't think of anything else. So I walked up to Sylvia and drove off, still with the thought that someone would come running after me but of course none of those happened! I just sat in temple and was still in shock of what just took place, not the accident per say, but the fact that no one sees me standing there! Well, Sham told me that I am gifted cause I have just met not one but 10 ghosts=) haha, had a good laugh! Anyway the other thing she told me could be the best possible explanation, it could have been my GUARDIAN ANGEL...

Bruce Lee Said So...

• Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own.
• Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
• Simplicity is the last step of art.
• A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst.
• When an opportunity in a fight presents itself, "I" don't hit, "it" hits all by itself.
• Empty your mind. Become formless and shapeless like water. When water is poured into a cup, it becomes the cup. When water is poured into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, my friend.
  
• To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. If you want to understand the truth in martial arts, to see any opponent clearly, you must throw away the notion of styles or schools, prejudices, likes and dislikes, and so forth. Then, your mind will cease all conflict and come to rest. In this silence, you will see totally and freshly.
• I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. ( Love this!)
  
• The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. ( Meaningful!)
  
• Don't think, feel! It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory. (How true!)
  
• A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough. (Absolutely!)
  
• I don't believe in different ways of fighting now. I mean, unless human beings have 3 arms and 3 legs, then we will have a different way of fighting. But basically we all have two arms and two legs so that is why I believe there should be only one way of fighting and that is no way.
• If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread over into your work, into your mortality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. ( Creepy but this phrase reminds me of my orthopedic lecturers!)
  
• There's no challenge in breaking a board. Boards don't hit back.
• Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one's potential.
• Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. ( My favourite!)
  
• Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
  
• Martial art is ultimately an athletic expression of the dynamic human body. More important yet, is the person who is expressing his own soul.
• I have always been a martial artist by choice, an actor by profession, but above all, am actualising myself to be an artist of life.
• A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at.
• The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.

Break The Rules

Dance your way to happiness! I don't know about you people , but dance is life for me ! I dance when I am happy, I dance when I am sad , I dance when I am angry, I dance when I am hurt , I dance when I am stressed, I dance for any sort of emotions a human can possibly possess! I am myself when I dance- some say I go into a state of trance=) It brings out the inner side of you- maybe wild, seductive , sexy- anything and everything that is kept locked in you. Its an expression.Every movement , every step , every curve is an electrifying feeling. For once in life you will be yourself. I feel good about myself when I move- I forget how I look and how I feel at that point of time- its like the "high" feeling after a booze ( not like I had any of such feeling, though I wanted badly to get a hang-over- it did not work for me, think the tolerance rate is high, plus the whole idea is out my mind for now!) Just dance and move to the music in your heart , so what if the steps are not right , what if you don't learn the right moves , if you do it with love, it will turn out just fine! Shake those hips, let loose those shoulders , and sway around-for happiness is something only you can create, none others would ( unless and of course you find the perfect soul mate- then I believe the musical tune that springs from the heart doubles , and so will the happiness). So get hold of anyone near you and start dancing now- its an addiction! As for me , I would love to learn a few proper dance moves , waiting for this" spare tires "to deflate=) before I start.

Butterfly Utopia

When I was 10, Chumi ( my 3rd sis) and I followed Suja ( my first sis) and her now husband, then boyfriend=) to the butterfly park. Out of the many many creatures that I saw there, which I don't remember now, only one butterfly caught my eye and the image of it has been locked in my memory for a very long time. It is the snake butterfly. Look at the ends of the wings and you would be able to see the head of a snake at both sides.Awesome! The most beautiful creature yet dangerous looking at the same time. Beauty and the beast in one frame? Maybe. Anyway, it is called the Atlas moth.The great Atlas Moth is believed to be the world's largest moth. The Atlas Moth is named after the Greek titan Atlas, who was punished with the weight of the Earth on his shoulders for eternity. Females are considerably larger than males. Atlas Moths are sometimes raised for their silk, known as "fagara". Their cocoons are used to make purses in Taiwan. And you know what's the cool thing , its only purpose in the world is to mate! Yes, you heard it right, only to mate. So, it only lives for a period of one or two weeks. Sadly, it does not have a mouth, thus it does not eat and survives off deposits reserved when it was a caterpillar.The part that its pretty with all the vibrant colours and looks fearsome sounds great but not the fact that it does not have a mouth!!! Aiks, I can't imagine not having one=)

Suffering in Silence

The wound is still raw.Feel like hugging you at this very moment. I want to feel secure in your hug. I want you to tell me everything is going to be alright. The memories of you came back today. I attended a friend's birthday party today, her mum and dad was there. And all I can think of is you. How we used to be like that as a family at one point of time. Just us. The same love and care. Missing your presence. Though mine did not last after my 2oth birthday. You have not only gone , but along with you I have lost everything else. I wish at times I was never closed to you cause the departure seems worse. I fake my smile, my happiness and I have got to be strong for so many people and for so many reasons. I cry myself to sleep and console myself. Its everything about me and on my own. No one else is there now. When you were around, my circle was complete, now its shattered. I am afraid of getting myself attach to anyone for the fear of being hurt again! At times I fall to my lowest point in life and there is no one to pull me up , how I wished everything was back to normal!
