My weekend
Finally, i had a good weekend. Had a good time meeting friends and just relaxing and chilling.
Fri: I left work on the dot at 6pm. Headed to taka to do a lil shopping. Met up with marcus and jared, and we just headed about town to have dinner, window shop and then supper, chit chat and had tau huey.
Sat: Rested the whole day. I really missed my sleep, so glad to wake up late. It was raining the whole day, and i just had no mood to do anything. Anyway, i went out in the evening to meet gracia. Was suppose to meet diana, but poor girl was so tired from her work, she didnt meet us in the end. Anyway, Jared, Marc, Jasmine and Daniel met up with Gracia and myself. We headed to settlers cafe to play board games. It was rather fun. We played management, family business (MAFIA game) and Taboo. I think Taboo is still the best game to play... so much laughter and jokes. heh! We played about 4 hrs till the place closed, then headed to Lavender for pork soup..yummm. After, go home.
Sun: Went church. I wanted to cut hair today, but the shop recommended my charmaine didnt pick up the phone. So I decided to skip today and go cut hair next weekend. I was thinking of cutting at shunji matsuo, the main branch. I thought, spend a bit more for a good hair cut. But I'm not sure who to look for at shunji, hmmmm unless i try my luck and get someone randomnly to cut my hair. I feel i need a new look, but then again.... not sure if i'm ready. Anyway, I just got back from a concert by this swedish lady. She was borned with no arms, and have her right left leg shorter than her right. But she is an unbeliveable and inspirational lady. At 18 years old, she was a champion swimmer, breaking records and representing sweden in swim meets. Not only that, she's a brilliant singer and a person full of faith and hope. She does not see herself as a handicapped but a normal human being, she did not let her disability stop her from leading a normal life. She writes, cooks, sews, type, bath, etc.. everything with her right foot. It's amazing on how agile and flexible she is. Simply amazing. Anyway, she's in town for a 2 night concert organised by a elderly welfare group which my grandma partcipated. The event was a free concert. She can sing hokkien songs... very well in fact. the tien oh oh song... and some other taiwanese songs. She's really a role model, in the sense that she is contented and happy with life, and has devoted everything to GOD. Her strength and contentment and appreciation in life is tremendously admirable. Maybe we shld start feeling contented and happy with what we have then continously complaining what we dont have. She gave a very good example: She has no arms, and a shorter left leg, but yet she still do alot of things like any human being. We, .. we have arms, a pair of good legs... we can do much more than her. How true.. how true. She said.... it's good to know that you can wake up each day peacefully. We shouldn't be influenced with all the bad news we see and read everyday on the news, rather, we should see what was given to us and know that we are actually living in a wonderful world. We always see the macro in life, that we miss out the mirco in life. No wonder.. the simpler things in life are the more precious of all. I like to believe in that... and i like to live with that philosophy. I feel, we've come to an era where complications are arising and troubles are everywhere, we shouldn't let such negative things dampened our lives. In fact, we have to look the other side of things, and always remember, we have someone guiding us, whether we believe it or not. The fact that somehow things will run smoothly.. is because... someone is guiding us everywhere we go, in whatever we choose to do.
I should lead my life to the fullest by being happy and not following trends that make me think will make me happy. I'm glad of what i have now, and i feel i shouldn;t complain. Contentment.... fight for contentment in life.
Peace people.... smile.
