Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Being always grateful for each new day and for the blessing you have.

... seen through it and moved on.

Okay, my history and knowledge of my roots sucks BIG time. What a shame.

I don’t even know who’s who and I always thought Cao Cao was a noble hero. His name sounds like someone noble and after all, JJ Lin composed a fantastic piece about this historic warrior right? So I guess I can be forgiven for thinking that he was a good person.

And thank God I watched the movie, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Can’t wait for the sequel! Every actor/actress is right for every character. I thought everyone portrayed the roles like they were in fact like this all their lifetimes, especially Tony Leung (I agree with what the editor of i-magazine said that perhaps its all fated Chow Yun Fat rejected the role of Zhou Yu) and Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Good that I didn’t let the weekends pass without doing something meaningful. =p

True friends make your day no matter what you do together =)

Chilled out at the airports with Shikin two Saturdays ago. We visited all 3 terminals but stayed longest at T2 and T3 cos’ T1 was downright boring.

Right place + right food + right games + the right person = amazing company.

And yes, do remind me to pass you that book the next time we meet!

Darling Joseph, Mummy is so sorry…

For the past few days I have been feeding Joseph dog food that contains maggots – of course without me realizing it since I’m always in a rush during the morning. I am so bloody blind. I promise from now onwards I will be extra focused on every thing I’m doing!

So in the end I ordered home cooked food from a doggie bakery to compensate for the horrible meals he had been taking for days. The one week menu consists of:

- Grilled Cheesy Lamb
- Chicken Tomato Casserole
- Steamed Chicken Pattie with Veggie Rice
- Grilled Giant Meatballs with Cheesy Pasta
- Braised Lamb With Grilled Peppers

Results? Joseph couldn’t resist the savory delicacies!

Don’t take ‘I’ve got no time’ as an excuse to forsake your favorite pastime

I have finished reading the Shopaholic series by S. Kinsella~! At least I manage to relive the passion I used to have for reading. Several months ago I have been feeling like a loser partly because the word ‘reading’ sounded like an alien term to me. I think the magic here is we have got to ‘find time out of no time’ to do the things we like. It’s really worth the effort.

Murphy’s Law – Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong

1) Every solution breeds new problems
2) Problems multiply as the deadline approaches
3) Everything goes all wrong at once
4) If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway
5) If everything is smooth sailing, you probably don’t know what the hell is going on
