A Story to Live by

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I wil lmarry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including herboyfriend. He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.' This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today:

1. before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
2. before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someonewho has nothing to eat.
3. before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someonewho's crying out to GOD for a companion.
4. before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
5. before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
6. before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
7. before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
8. and when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
9. but before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
10. and when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

Well Done, Bambz!!

I went to the GYM :)
I ran/brisk walked for 15min, then another 15min with the equipments which target mainly on my "pregnant-like" tummy & "butterfly" arm.

Finger cross.... I'll be determined to workout for at least 30min daily!!

All the best BAMBZ!!

March School Holiday

HOORAY!! is term break :)
I hope my kids will get enough rest during this 1 week break although their schedule is packed with lots of activities.... not forget the comming common tests.

While for me, there is a long list of tasks to be completed before term 2 start. Thus, I won't be going back to Kuala Lumpur :( My last trip home was during Chinese New Year, hope to be back during Good Friday long weekends in April. Brother will also come home from Macau, long time didn't have dinner together, all 5 of us (also + our the other half)...

Too Clean?

It has been a super busy term for me -- teaching, administrative work, boarding duty etc etc. At this moment, I decided to take a short break (while waiting for the laundry) & update my blog.

I'm happy & glad to announce that my girls (16 of them) & I won the cleanest cluster for February:) Seriously, it brighten my day when the boarding master announced it last Sunday. We (or maybe just me, as the cluster mentor) set the target in January (after winning the cleanest room for January) & really excited that we (again, is only me) manage to achieve the goal in such a short period of them.
Thank you all for doing your part i.e. keeping the compound clean.

I'm so proud of cluster 2B...

Something terrible happened about 2 weeks ago...
My lovely & kind hubby wanted to help me with the house chores, he offered to mop the floor on one Friday night.

~ Cut the story short, go straight to the main point ~

Suddenly, I heard a loud BANG. First, my heart sank. Next, I saw darling lying on the toilet (shower area)!! His head hit the wall, so he felt dizzy, can't stand up... It took a while before he can walk to the living room & take a seat. The HUGE bump on his head is really scary, not forgetting the blue black on his knee.

At that moment, I asked myself
"Am I cleaning too often?"
"Should I employ an hourly paid helper?"
"Why should I bother hubby to do all the chores?"
"Am I the cause of this accident?"

Anyway, Thanks God that darling is alright.
I'm now more considerate as in I clean less & nag less... heehee!!

Thousand Apologies

Dear FANS...
