How to be happy?

I don't have anything interesting to share with you this week. Unless you wanna hear about GST which I doubt anyone is interested in haha...

My friend sent me a meaningful quote yesterday. I really like it and wanna share it with you all...

【緣深多聚聚，緣淺隨它去】
2015-02-23星雲法師智慧

人生，不過一杯茶！
滿也好 少也好，爭個什麼！
濃也好 淡也好，自有味道。
急也好 緩也好，那又如何？
暖也好 冷也好，相視一笑。

因為在乎，所以痛苦。
因為懷疑，所以傷害。
因為看輕，所以快樂；
因為看淡，所以幸福。

我們都是天地的過客，很多人事，我們都做不了主。
“心”字三個點，沒有一個點不在往外蹦。你越想抓牢的，往往是離開你最快的。

一切隨緣，緣深多聚聚，緣淺隨它去。
人生，看輕看淡多少，痛苦就離開你多少。

人人都怕自己不清醒，希望自己心明如鏡。其實人生何必太清醒？

做粥要放三分米，七分水。
處事要三分為己，七分為人。
對朋友要三分認真，七分寬容。

對家庭要三分愛，七分責任。
看文章，三分在看，七分在品。

三分或七分，不過是人生的掂量。

看的是書，讀的卻是世界；
沏的是茶，嚐的卻是生活；

人生是一張有去無回的單程車票，沒有彩排，沒有重來，多珍惜眼前的，現在擁有的，好好把握 ，活在當下！

Indeed!

Hot topic

The very hot topic lately is GST.

We do GST implementation at work everyday. Talk about GST everyday. Think about GST everyday and even have GST dream every night.

I need a break from GST. Really 

不能過年的心情

最近常聽電台的‘幫到你’單元~

很佩服大家的勇氣因膽小的我，不敢讓全世界聽到我心裡的慾望或愛恨的表達。我...我...真的很保守低調！呵呵~

有次有位年輕人請DJ打電話給他主管，問他為何批准了其他同事的假期卻不讓他拿假。機票住宿行程都弄好的說~ 結果主管說這位員工手上的工作沒做完，做事態度不佳所以不能放假。哇，全國都聽到，這樣很拍謝吶~

過年前，他們有個新春版的"幫到你"~ 就是幫在國外不能回家過年的遊子打電話跟家人表達愛意。聽著遊子們在遠方訴說不能回家團圓的難過心情，我也想起了我自己以前在國外沒得過年的心情~

我記得那是14年以來第一次沒跟爸媽和弟弟一起過年。當時媽媽的好友很好意請我們3姐妹去吃團圓飯。看著2桌不認識的人家開心的團圓，我的心裡突然酸酸 的。好想念我的爸媽喔~ 年初一還得去上課，心裡也很不是滋味。為了彌補失落的心情，我們週末到唐人街去~ 雖然新年的裝飾不多，但看到同樣是黑頭髮黃皮膚的人們，有一種說不出的親切感！

有一年，我們的洋人數學老師還說，聽說今天是華人新年喔，祝亞洲的同學們新年快樂~ 既使只是聽到簡單的一句，我的心裡也是暖暖的。呵呵，原來快樂可以這麼簡單！

也因為有了這樣的'心酸經驗'讓我更珍惜跟家人好友一同團圓的時光~ 大家千萬不要等到失去了才懊惱， 也不要因為擁有而不珍惜。從現在開始一定要好好珍惜每個身邊的人事物喔~

CNY Activity

CNY holiday is over. Am now back to reality, back to work.
The end of CNY also means weight gain T___T
Never mind~ I will deal with that later...

For the past 6 days, my only activity is eat and eat and eat.  Hahaha, life has never been simpler! 

I love looking at a few corners of my home. I simply love the festive feel! The pomelo fruits are from the backyard. Not only do they signify peace and health, they look so pretty in the house too~ Of course, after being combined with some CNY deco :P

Jenn's creations :P

I'm ready for CNY!

I think I'm super... i know you may think i seem boastful but go on and read, u will agree with me hehe... :P

Years ago, i did a big clean up for my room. It was a pain but the result is so wonderful that I sort of forget how i almost gave up and was tempted to just shove everything back inside the cupboards, underneath my bed and pretend they don't exist... :P

Since then i have been wanting to do the same for the rest of the house but  I always have reasons so I could push it aside (i'm a procrastinator remember? hehe). After so many years, the long outstanding project finally kicked off. At first, I only wanted to do a simple clean up such as throwing away the rubbish, vacuuming the house, getting the CNY glasses & containers washed... However, one thing led to another, I decided to do a thorough clean-up for the house to give the house new life. I know! I'm such a perfectionist! haha...

I cleaned from 11 am til 11pm yesterday (i did take breaks in between la hehe) and I'm so happy with my progress! I did not just clean the area AROUND the items, I actually took everything out, washed them and put them back! So that the house is clean inside out hehe...  I apologised to the spiders and ants for I had destroyed their homes during the cleaning... so sorry~ 

With my high efficiency and determination, I am confident that the I will be able to complete it before CNY which is in 3 days time~  Wish me Luck! I must say, it feels great to live in a sparkling home :P

My great helpers this year~ 

CNY is just around the corner~

CNY is 1 week away. I didn't realise until I checked the calendar!

Because of my oversight, I have not decorated my home and I haven't bought CNY tit bits and soft drinks T____T

Yes! I can't believe that I am so unprepared! :(

Actually, it's not surprised since I'm always a last minute person :P

Anyway, there is no use crying over spilt milk. No matter how frustrated you get, how much you complain, things will not get better. So instead of whining, I take rectification actions. I know! I am such a practical person! :P

I completed 90% of the tasks in 2 days. I know! I am such an efficient person, when I want to be :P Well, you should only be a procrastinator IF you possess this special quality! hehe...

• CNY tit bits - Bought (although i still keep buying. Hmmm.. i think i have inherited mum's buying habit ;P)
• CNY soft drinks - Bought
• Put up CNY deco - Done
• CNY songs - Bought
• CNY must-have honey mandarins - Bought
• House cleaning - 50% completed

I have even gone to the wet market to get stuff requested by my mum. Although she is in France now, she is still able to participate in CNY preparation. How amazing is that?! haha.. I wish she could give me a complete list though coz after i've bought what she instructed, she gives me more things to buy. Which means i have to keep going to different places or back to the same place to get new things T___T

I have never known that buying CNY stuff can be such a time and money consuming task! My mum has always been the one to make sure that the house is cleaned, well-stocked and nicely-decorated. I just contribute here and there. I gotta salute my mum for being such a superwoman!

This year, I wanna thank my colleague for making my life easy. really easy because I ordered almost half of my CNY tit bits from her. All I do is sit back, relax and wait for her to deliver everything to me! :P

My mum didn't think I could clean the house without getting any outsourced maids to help. Well, with my secret weapon, I'm able to clean the house by myself (my dad is in charge of washing the floor :P). Thanks to my taobao purchase last December （more about that later), hehe...  I plan well right? hehe... 

HaPpY GoAt YeaR!

雨天的心情

喜歡雨點打在玻璃窗的旋律
喜歡雨點留在玻璃窗上的圖案
喜歡雨天喝一杯熱飲料
喜歡雨天和好友聊過去現在未來
喜歡雨天看著矇矓的世界
喜歡雨天帶來莫名的安全感
喜歡雨天可以庸懶不內疚
喜歡雨天睡覺無所事事

雖然雨天也會帶來很多不便之處，但還是不能改變我對雨天的喜歡。 “情人眼裡出西施”，這裡可以用上嗎？呵呵~ 

你雨天的心情是什麼顏色？

雨點的創作~
