Butter or Margarine

An interesting lesson i have learnt in Food Technology lecture today. 

Butter or margarine? Which one you'll choose? I think most people used to choose margarine because it's more healthy. Don't you? Hmmm.... Is WRONG! Is it actually for you to choose which way you wish to die. Die fast? Or die slow? 

Butter vs Margarine  =   Die slower vs Die faster

Polyunsaturated fats in butter caused cancer. Margarine also contains trans fatty acid lead to stroke and heart disease. Cancer = Die slower. Stroke / heart disease = die faster.

The ending for either choice is still the same. So now, your choice. Butter or margarine? xD

我找到了 你們肯定的目光


在每个人的人生旅程当中，总会有一些人会在背后一直默默地支持我们。因为有了这些人的支持、肯定，我们在奔往梦想的路上少了点顾虑，多了份勇气。这些人的目光，就是我们的太阳， 对我们放射窝心的光芒。我们用满满的温暖和感激，脸带微笑地拥抱这些驱使我们努力的人们，并且感受他们给我们带来的一道道将我们包围的幸福光芒。更用我们努力换来的成果给予他们回报。

这些用生命爱护我们的人们，就像闪烁我们生命的星光，照耀我们的世界。在生命里，有这些人的目光照耀，不就足够了吗？=)

时间足以改变一切

人家说：时间可以证明一切。 何止？时间，它也足以改变一切。。。 两年后的今天，一切已经有别于昔日。今时不同于往日，时间证明了我们根本经不起考验。时间告诉我，要重见两年前那温馨的画面可说是蛮困难的。。。 我们从陌生到无话不谈，再从无话不谈到仅仅是合作的伙伴；久而久之，会再打回原形成为相见不相识的陌生人吗？我自己也不敢去预测太多。。。 就让时间将就一切吧。

或许，从一开始我根本就不需要如此投入。现在，此时此刻我所在的地方根本就不是我的世界，不是我的理想国度。时间到，我就会离开，回到一个属于我的地方。此时此刻的我，只希望时间可以过得快些。。。 让我快些回到我该存在的地方。。。 。。。

Don't Give Up in You Life!

PLEASE READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO.

It is a real story happened in real life. In a Chinese modern dance competition on TV, one very unique couple won the top prizes. The lady, in her 30's, was a dancer who had trained since she was a little girl. Later in life, she lost her entire left arm in an accident and fell into a state of depression for a few years.

Someone then asked her to coach a children's dancing group. From that point on, she realized that she could not forget dancing. She still loved to dance and wanted to dance again. So, she started to do some of her old routines, but having lost her arm, she had also lost her balance. it took a while before she could even make simple turns without falling.

Then she heard a man in his 20s who has lost a leg in an accident. He also fallen into the usial denial, depression and anger type of emotional roller coaster. But she determined to find him and persuade him to dance with her. He had never danced and to "dance with one leg... are you joking? No way!" But she didn't give up and he reluctantly agreed thinking, "I have nothing to do anyway." She started to teach him dancing 101.

Both of them broke up a few times because he had no concept of using muscle, how to control his body and knew none of the basic things about dancing. When she became frustrated and lost patient with him, he would walk out. Eventually, they came back together and started training seriously.

They hired a choreographer to design routines for them. In the competition, you'll see how they dance and won the competition. It's really amazing. They are the excellent example for all of us. They proved that they can make it even they have disability on their body. What to say for us who are born perfectly without any disability.

Such a touching video isn't it? I have watched it for few times and it never fails to make me cry every single time when I watch it.

After the story and the video, the main point to tell is still APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, DON'T GIVE UP IN YOUR LIFE!

Hence, it is very hard to gather all of us for a friends or family reunion. CNY is the only chance among the whole year for the whole family reunion and also friends gathering.

11 Life Lessons to Learn

Year of rabbit was a past, it's already the 6th day of dragon year. Everyone of us are getting older. As what idiom said, "One year older, one year wiser" and I'm going to share some tips on how to be a wiser one. :)

1. Always out God first

"When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place" -- Pres Ezra Taft Benson (May, 1988)

2. Life is too short

"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop ever analyzing, all emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. LIFE IS SIMPLE. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. So go out and start creating. Life is live your dream, and wear short. Your Passion." -- The Holstee Manifesto, 2009

3. Live in the moment you are in

"If you are always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in?

Enjoy the Ride."

4. Best things in life are never things

"The best things in life aren't things."

5. You MUST learn to step outside of your comfort zone

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" -- Neale Donald Walsch

6. Be grateful... for everything

"Thank you God fro blessing me much more than I deserve."

7.Forgive... otherwise you are only hurting yourself

"Forgiveness is not something we do for other people. We do it for ourselves to get well and move on."

8. Laugh... every day

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."

9. Always believe in yourself

"Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think."

10. Love like there is no tomorrow

"Love is patient; love is kind. It does not envy; it does not boast. It's not self-seeking; it's not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS. -- 1st corinthians 13: 4 - 8

11. Have faith and trust our God

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. -- hebrew 11:1"

Be Careful of a THIEF with NEW Toyota Vios (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah)

Are you a Sabahan? If so, please beware of this new Toyota Vios car. If not, you should still be aware of it. The house owner in the video was very luck but you will never know that you might be the next victim. This reflected how seriously is the social corruption in the society today.
