It is 1.46pm NZ time currently. I could see the reflection of the strong ray of the sun on my bedroom's medium-sized windows. As usual, I woke up late on my non-working day and hoping to do something productive. What I have done so far: practised one song (Jay's Qing Hua Ci) on my keyboard, marinated slices of chicken with ginger, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and a bit of sesame oil. One hour before I start stir-frying it, I am going to add a bit of corn starch and probably sprinkles some oats too. I don't know how it would turn out but we will see. Adding a bit of chives or 5 spices may accentuate the taste a bit I suppose. Did my laundry as well including my fleece blanket. The most rewarding one was finishing off my monthly diaries. Yes! I finished writing April and May's. As for June's, I will get it done at the end of this month. I might just fill in some evidence forms after I have finished blogging. As a matter of fact, I don't see the point of documenting primary healthcare and prescription intervention materials. It is really a pain in the neck to do so. Only the diaries are the enjoyable part if I have things to write which I usually do. I believe that if my English is good, I will enjoy writing more.
What I want to share about the principles of life today? Hmm . . . there's always two sides of things - the good and the bad. Trust me people, be patient, understanding, focus on the good and forgive and forget about the downside of people. At certain times, it is one's weakness that make him/her stands out and different which you tolerate. Turn the weakness into strength. This will make your life easier and hence put more smiles on your face. I myself have experienced one case recently but the strength one possesses will always outshine the weakness, isn't it? When he/she does something awful towards you, it might be unintentional. It is true that you might feel aggrieved or furious at that very instance which is understandable but at the end of the day, you will learn to forgive. Be forgiving always is one of the characteristics to live happily every day. As for me, when I get maligned by someone, I will stay quiet and take it as part of learning but if it is too obvious, I will stand for myself but mostly the former applies. I believe that as long as God knows, I am all good. =) It is better to be maligned by others rather than I myself accusing people allegedly. Finding the best person to talk about it is also a good way to seek for second opinion, preferably someone who knows you inside out. Of course, do not go around telling the whole world what has happened especially to those who don't know you well as they might think you are spreading rumours. (My guilt conscience always attack me after I told my friend about being treated unfairly. Yeah, I feel guilty very easily) Always be wise to select the people who you open up to. I am very fortunate to have 2 friends whom I can confide in comfortably. You know who you are. *wink* Thanks a lot babes!
2 days ago, I was watching tv and saw these unfortunate children who don't even have a blanket to keep them warm at night in Africa (and I have 3!). It was saddening to see this scene. Some have a will to strive for a better future. There was this girl who had a very simple dream. She was only 8 years old and her wish is to own a bicycle so her grandpa can take her to the doctor when she is sick. Such a simple dream compared to our complex aims. I feel very fortunate to receive proper education and live a simple life. I feel ashamed of myself when I complained about studies but the poor children in some part of the world don't even get the chance to go to school. Oh, go back to this 8 years old girl. At that moment, I planned to sponsor her but sadly, she died at the age of 12 due to malaria. Sad huh. My message here is the little things you do could make a big difference in someone's life. You don't have to sponsor a child or donate a huge sum of money to achieve this. Just do what is within your abilities. Even prayer counts. =)
It's already 3.05pm. Live your life to the fullest! I shall stop now and go back to do some more work.
