Simple Woman Simple Dreams

Do you have a dream?
What is your dream?

Three years ago, someone asked me during our 2nd date out..
"What is your dream?"
I told that person my humble little dream of being a housewife.
He encourages me not to give up and pursue this little dream of mine.

That was the first time in my life, someone sincerely asked me about my dream and sincerely accepted it and even to a point encourages me.

That nite, I kept pondering about his question and was touched by his sincerity.
The next day after church, I received an email from him telling me, he couldn't sleep missing me..This sparks up my in hope in this man, thinking maybe he could be the one.

Not sure if the world changes a person or a person changes the world...
after 3 years..thing changed...everything was left behind..somewhere..

My little dream of being good housewife, creating a warm and cosy place for my hubby to rest and look forward to after a busy day..went in vain.
All I wanted to be was a simple housewife with a husband who loves me deeply..appreciate me and my hardwork...
doing up the house, cooking nice meals for him....
go to church together..
bring up children in Christ...
Building a Christian family.....
spending our free time together.....
resting on each other's shoulder or lap as the other does his/her reading...
enjoy the quiet moments together...
with a word or two such as "I love you" "Thank you honey."
That simple..

I am contented with all these simplest things in life..
however, sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to achieve.

At times you after you put in all you have...
you realised that all is in vain...

If you ask if I still keep this little dream of mine..
I guess...I don't know anymore...
or I should say..."I gave up." cuz I did my best..but it didn't work out...

Is the future hopeful for me?
Yes it is..in terms of career and other stuff...
but in term of relationship..or being a simple woman with a simple dream..
I left that in the past..
till maybe if really a man who truly loves me..comes knocking at my door again someday and stays with me forever...

Maybe..

(p.s. I missed him..but..well...life goes on..)
YOu know I love this song which I place here "Way Back into Love" Its exactually how I feel...
:) still finding my way..its really a looooooooooooooooooooooong way...............
I know I am still struggling with it..
each time I think I have done it..
it came back again...
just have to keep trying...
WAY BACK INTO LOVE...

Hopefully my new love will come really soon...
that will probably get me out "immediately" since I am a devoted person.

Entering Memory Lane

Travelling down the Memory Lane in bus 147 today after my class at UniCampus (Stirling Road) today, brought back lots of tough yet sweet childhood memories.

Remembering the tough time, my family & I went thru during my childhood days.
Passing by ABC Market brought back memories of us after having a tough day of work closing for the day at 11pm, my family and I often found our way to this market for our late dinner. Ordering a few small dishes, having lots of rice covered with plenty of gravies so that our stomach will be filled even by eating the rice.
There are even times where we had just pickles with porriage.
Those were the hard times and sweet ones.

Passing by Bukit Merah Swimming Pool, I recall my sis and myself meeting our cousin at one point of time for our early morning swim even before the smimming pool was open for the public.

What was the 1st time you had Mcdonalds?
Mine was when we were still living in a one-room flat in Holland Close (Now that building has been demolished). I can always remember that unique experience of having to live in a flat right infront of a chinese graveyard. Each time I had to dash thru the graveyard as I made my way to the kindergarten right at the other end of that graveyard. Back then, I wasn't a Christian..thus I often find it spooky...hee...

Okie back to where I was... the first time my family & I had our burger was when my dad striked Lottery back then. We were so excited as we waited to taste our first burger from Mcdonalds.
Often seen in tv huge Papa & Mama hamburgers...we longed to have a bite of that..
and indeed we finally did.

However, that first experience wasn't that good as we were not used to eating hamburgers. Thus, we ended up giving away lots of those burgers to our neighbours.
That's indeed some kind of memories...

What about you?

Conclusion: Life can be simple yet filled with warm & sweetness when contentment is the key. Even if life seems difficult, the more hardship you have, the closer the bond it builds up. This happiness is priceless. (From my humble aspect.)

开心的笨女人

有人说：“我想当个开心的笨女人。”又有人或者会说，“才不！我要当个凶悍的女强人！”
我说，“我想当个善良的漂亮女人。”这信心是从神而来。因为当上帝造完人以后，他看一切都是美好的！只不过后来人陷入罪恶之中被罪丑化了！

你呢？是否想过你想当个怎样的女人或男人呢？

不妨花一点时间去思想一下。

祝：梦想成真！

Just for laugh.. (M18)

Just checked my tons of email..found this piece of interesting article which is kind of funny..so I thot why not put up here to share with you and laugh together..cuz its friday after all...

Sit back and enjoy...
(Have a happy weekend!) Cheers! :)


Lesson 1:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow
dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.


Morals of the story: (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep
your mouth shut!


Lesson 2:
A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the
turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'
'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top
of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there... for long.


Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to
lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'
'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'
Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii,
relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of
Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'


Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and
do nothing?'
The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.

Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that
towel.'


After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked
in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.


The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbor,' she replies.

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?'


Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure.

Persistent

Angeline is one who is very persistent if she feels and believes what she does is right. One who dares to voice out what she wants to people she cares.

One who doesn't enjoy hiding. One who opens up like a book for all to read, becuz there is nothing to hide if one does nothing wrong.

That's me!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion..
and most of the time, these opinion are self-interpretation of what one reads or says..will cause one to react in a way which is not truth or any point near the truth.

This is where interaction places an important role.
Refusal to communicate only allows rooms for misunderstanding and destroys whatever that has been previously built upon.

All in All...the basic to all is TRUST!

Travelling on the Road

Have you ever driven a car? How was it like driving a car?
Its been years since I last drove a car.
I remember each time I drove on the road, I got nervous and very awake...

This illustration suddenly came to me today...

Life is like travelling or driving on a road......
sometimes...you travel on a smooth highway...
sometimes..you travel on rocky path....
And sometimes...you may even hit the Kerb...along the way.....

And on this journey...
there are times whereby you are alone...
there are times...you picked up a passenger or two along the way....
Some travel with you for a short period of time...
others might be slightly longer....
And eventually one day...you might pick up someone who will travel with you till the very end...

There are many people who God gave us at different time....each is a form of experience, be it happy ones, sad ones, touched ones, hurtful ones, memorible ones..
and each of these helps to make our journey more interesting and fruitful.

Sometimes, we meet people who we think will travel to the end with us...and eventually find out that they are in fact dropping off somewhere unexpectedly...
Sometimes, we meet people who we think might not travel with us...but eventually they are the ones who will travel with us till the very end.

Life is a road or a journey which is filled with surprises awaiting for each and everyone of us.

With hope & faith one travels on till one reaches the final destination.

With faith & on faith I travel..
waiting for the next passenger to get onboard and enjoy this journey with me :)

Come on, join me as we travel & discover the beauty of this wonderful journey!

Hope you have a pleasant journey!

Little angel little sketch....

Little angie wants to share her little sketches of life with you today :)

Just spend a little time with her as she flips thru her little sketchbook...

Title: Little sketches

Sketch 1:
Life reveals its bright colourful beauty only when one takes off his/her shade.

Sketch 2:
Life is not about how others response to you but rather how you response to the reponses of others to you.

Sketch 3:
Life will always be the same unless you start the changes within you.

Sketch 4:
How one sketches one's life depends at the angle one stands. And that also determines how one dance with one's sketches later on.

---------------------------------------------------------

So...are u ready to dance with the sketches you made today?

If not, don't worry.... cuz life goes on...so does sketches...

Come on everybody, let's just take off our shades, get out there & enjoy the colours of life in the bright sunny day!

:) "Cheers to Life dearest!!!"

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Today before Class, 'Luffy' 'Cat' & Me met at Cafe Cartel in PS for dinner to celebrate my belated birthday as well as 'Luffy' passing his driving last week.

We had a quick yet enjoyable dinner at Cafe Cartel. As usual the food at Cafe Cartel was great! Its blessed to have new Kakis esp in our Uni.

Today's Quantitative Methods of Information Management (Statistic) is really tough..
After slacking for two weeks or so...I totally lost track and went totally blank when we were asked to work on the question papers given in the class today.
We were told to finish each questions in like about 5 to 15 mins..
very stressful...its as if exam..very tense up..
We were all feelings sooooo stressed up....

Suddenly all these sums and formulas seems so alien to me..Oh God help me...
I felt so 'hopeless' and started to worry about this subject.
There is soooooooo much to study yet soooooooooo little time to practice..and understand....
Our lecturer teaches like bullet train.............
Super-fast....
I realised that I am not the only one who can't catch up............
Really praying hard that all of us will pass this semester....

'Luffy' managed to do all the sums pretty fast....
I guess he did his home-work...
Must ask him to teach us............
He is very helpful actually....
A very kind guy.
He even proposed for us to start a study group together one month before our exam..which I agree...but I better start revising so that I won't be a burden to them. Hopefully I can get all the formula and key words right really soon.

This sat is the last class for QMIM then comes Accounting...which I hated most..
Once Accounts starts..its gonna be worst...having to cope to accounts and practice QMIM and Socialogy before our Exam in July...

Btw...Thanks Cat & Luffy for the wonderful birthday dinner treat... :)
Hee..thanks to these two friendly scorpions..

Season Of Love

Its been a loooooooong time since my bestfriend and I had our coffee session together..

Joyce suggested a really nice comfortable place with great ambience for our coffee today. It was such a relaxed and wonderful feeling which I long missed...

Both of us didn't feel like leaving that place...Oh..how I wish I could have a week's vacation just sitting here enjoying coffee everyday...

As we were chatting..
I told Joyce that this seems to be like a Season Of Love..
I am happily enjoying my singlehood freedom and at the same time looking forward for a new love to start anytime...

People around me seems to find their love recently...and I am really happy for them.
Its such a wondering feeling to be loved.

I told Joyce that all I want for a partner is just someone who can share moments together happily...feeling relaxed sitting around...enjoying a cup of coffee like this...and doing some relaxing stuff together...yet...giving each other the respect and the space we each need..Not forgetting to learn to accept and respect our difference...I guess then will we find the simplicity of a genuine love.

Love is not to enforce one's thot onto the other but rather to know and respect that even as a couple, we are different in many ways..
We learn about each other...and respect the uniqueness of an individual...avoiding any conflicts if possible.

Many times, even in my past relationship...I find it tiring and exhausting for each other...as we tried to enforce our thots onto each other...thinking if only he/she can sees my point and change his/her view to be like-wise..
This is really tiring...
Love is about accepting each other as who each other is. Not trying to change that person to suit us or the image we created or wanted for our partners.
In my humble opinion...this is what true love should be...
Of cuz, its always easier to say than to be done..
But I guess after being thru so-much...
I have learnt my lesson.

Now, I am ready for a simple true love of contentment and respect.

So......come on, let's get ourselves into this Season of Love.
Cheers everyone!
