Love Them Anyway

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin'
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love anyway

ANYWAY - Martina McBride

Puteri's Haircut Day

I took her to the saloon @ Mines today. Mom's says Puteri remind her of me. She's cheeky, chatty and playful.

She has passed her exam and interview to enable her to register at SRAB - Sekolah Rendah Agama Bersepadu. These days.. nak masuk darjah satu pun ada interview dan exam. Tapi kata Puteri 'senang je soalan nya. adik dapat jawab semua' ;)

Quote from Alfred Adler

“What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!”

but.. i still cant swim... so what does it mean? hahaha. good night!

A cup of coffee?

I stumbled upon this interesting anecdote. Here goes:

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed,all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups. “Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change.“

"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

now i need my coffee :)

Happy Birthday Malaysia

Saya terserempak dengan pak cik ni, semalam – di pasar batu pahat semasa menunggu. Saya snap gambar ini tanpa di sedari oleh nya (agaknya lah).

Teruja saya melihat nya.

Hampir sudah tiada lagi berita muka depan yang memberi senyuman di waktu pagi. Skandal, rasuah, pecah amanah sudah menjadi kebiasaan. Di tambah dengan H1N1.

It hasn't been a lot of fun being Malaysian lately.

Tapi saya memilih untuk berfikiran yang baik. Saya optimistic.
