MooMoo's 1st own luggage ^=^

This is the 1st luggage bag that MooMoo bought for herself.  All the time, she have been using the luggage bags that are free or any luggage bags that she found from home.  This time, MooMoo decided to get one of her own since she likes to travel so much, plus there was 50% sale.  It's in her favourite colour, Purple!!!  MooMoo didn't really like the 2 beige patches at the side though, but Ms. Mo loved it... saying that it looks like doggie ears.   =p  Whatever that Ms. Mo end up liking... is usually what MooMoo dislikes... and it goes the same the other way round.  A funny thing... coz despite all these differences, we still end up being B.F.F.s.  MooMoo can't wait to go travel with her new luggage bag.  Next, MooMoo would like to look out for a nice Backpack for her next backpacking trip.

* Some interesting 'TRAVEL' quotes that MooMoo likes...

“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” --- Tim Cahill

"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." --- Aldous Huxley

“When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money”. --- Unknown

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."  ---James Michener

“Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.” ---Mark Twain

Feels Like HOME

FEELS LIKE HOME
--- by Edwina Hayes

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong




* Beautiful song from the soundtrack of 'My Sister's Keeper', which is also a beautiful touching story written by Jodi Picoult.  Another week to go and MooMoo will be back home for CNY... so looking forward to it... counting each day... ^=^

Put your arms around me

PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
--- Natasha Bedingfield

That original feeling never went away
That's why I’m standing here today.
Whoa Whoa
So many up and downs
And nothing has changed
That's why you know I'm here to stay.
Whoa Whoa

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way
You and me together

So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they’re easy words to say
But I mean it more then ever

Yours is the kind of love
makes nothing else feel good enough
And I’m never gonna give you up, Oh no, Oh no.

That original feeling never went away
That's why I’m standing here today.
Whoa Whoa
(Ain’t nobody gonna take your place
Only you made me feel this way)

So many up and downs
And nothing has changed
That's why you know I'm here to stay
Whoa Whoa
Ain't nobody gonna replace
Only you make me feel this saved

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way

You and me together

So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they’re easy words to say
But I mean it more then ever

Yours is the kind of love
makes nothing else feel good enough
And I’m never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no)
[Repeat 2x]

It can’t explain what's the glue that holds us in.
Whoa Whoa
I can’t refrain if I had a chance to do it over again.
Whoa Whoa

So put your arms around me
And then stay there forever
Let it always be this way
You and me together
So put you arms around me
And I'll never let go
I know they’re easy words to say
But I mean it more than ever
[Repeat 2x]

Yours is the kind of love
makes nothing else feel good enough
And I’m never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no)
[Repeat 2x]

[Outro]
Yours is the kind of love
makes nothing else feel good enough
And I’m never gonna give you up (Oh no, oh no, no no no)

* "To give and not expect return, that is what lies at the heart of love."... that's one form of "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE" which we rarely finds nowadays...

This reminds MooMoo of her "FAVOURITE QUOTE" by Helen Keller... "Sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the HEART."  It's beautifully quoted... ^=^

1st Challenge in Year 2012

There's no more turning back... After much thinking, MooMoo had signed up for her 1st Full Marathon of 42km in year 2012.  This will be one of the items in MooMoo's list of new year resolutions.

She will need to work hard to train for her run in order to complete her 1st FM in one piece.  MooMoo had signed up a couple of runs in between for her training to build up her stamina.  A friend will be helping out to train as well as running the race together with MooMoo.  MooMoo really appreciates that as she really needs someone to motivate her along the race.  It's all about 'Mind over Body'.  

Wish her lots of luck!!  GANBATTE!!! ^=^

"Our limitations and success will be based most often on your own expectations for ourselves.  What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon." --- Denis Waitley

Jesus to a Child

Jesus to a Child
--- by George Michael

Kindness In your eyes 
I guess You heard me cry
You smiled at me 
Like Jesus to a child

I'm blessed I know 
Heaven sent And Heaven stole
You smiled at me 
Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned 
From all this pain
I thought I'd never feel the same 
About anyone
Or anything again

But now I know 
When you find love 
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss 
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved 
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed 
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness In my eyes 
No one guessed
Or no one tried
You smiled at me 
Like Jesus to a child

Loveless and cold 
With your last breath
You saved my soul 
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned 
From all these tears
I've waited for you all those years 
And just when it began
He took your love away

But I still say 
When you find love
When you know that it exists 
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved 
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed 
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

So the words you could not say 
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made 
I'll make it for two

For every single memory 
Has become a part of me
You will always be My love

Well I've been loved 
So I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed
Is always by my side

Oh the lover I still miss 
Was Jesus to a child
(return to top)

* Beautiful song with nice lyrics by George Michael.  After much thinking, MooMoo had just signed up for her very 1st Full Marathon in year 2012 doing the Adidas Sundown.  MooMoo will make it an effort to really train to have a beautiful completion in one piece.  The very 1st challenge of the year set and must be achieved!   ^=^

1st day of work in year 2012...

MooMoo had a quite a good day at her 1st day of work in year 2012.  She started out by waking up super early for a 5km run at the gym and reaching her office before 8:30am.  She felt energetic after her morning run and it's amazing that she didn't feel sleepy at all the whole day even though she didn't sleep well the night before.  

She had been a good girl today coz she only had 1 cup of 'HAPPY' drink today during dinner as she substituted it with Orange juice.  It really felt kinda weird but she just gotta try to get to use to it.  May it last longer than a week and more.... Hahaha...

MooMoo got this article sharing from a friend and she really likes it.  She felt a little push after reading it.  So she would like to share with all who read her blogs.  Enjoy!!  ^=^




ONE ATTITUDE


Heavy rains remind us of challenges in Life.  Never ask for a lighter rain.  Just pray for a better umbrella.
That is ATTITUDE.


When flood comes, fish eat ants and when flood recedes, ants eat fish.  Only time matters.  Just hold on, God gives Opportunity to Everyone!


Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship, it's not how we care in the beginning, but how we care till the very end.


Some people always throw stones in your path.  It depends on you what you make with them.


A Wall or a Bridge?  Remember you are the architect of your life.


Search for a Beautiful Heart, but don't search for a beautiful face coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.


It's not important to hold all the good cards in Life.  But it's important how well you play with the cards you hold.


Often when we lose all hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, "Relax dear... it's just a bend, not the end."


Have Faith and have a Successful Life.


One of the basic differences between God and Human is, God gives, gives and forgives.  But the Human gets, gets and forgets.


Be Thankful in Life! ^=^

* "Life isn't Fair, but it's still Good."   May MooMoo have a great week ahead!!!

Happy New Year 2012!! ^=^

MooMoo had bid farewell to year 2011 last night and welcomed the new year 2012.  It wasn't a very good last day of the year as MooMoo fell sick with headache, fever and tummy upset.  Anyway, MooMoo had a great 2 hours Step class, which is the last Step class of the year.

May all the bad luck be gone... and all that had passed be history... all the unhappiness stayed where they are and not be brought over to year 2012... MooMoo just wanna be good this year and try her very best in all that she does, no matter what comes by.  It's gonna be tough but MooMoo just gotta work on it.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 TO ALL OF YOU!!! May all be blessed with great health and happiness throughout the year."

* "Life isn't tied with a bow, but it is still a Gift."

A Thousand Years...

A THOUSAND YEARS
--- by Christina Perri

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

* One last song for year 2011... 3 more days to go and it will be another brand new year... MooMoo just shifted to new home... looking forward to a brand NEW year in 2012 in new home... and hopefully a brand NEW MooMoo too... ^=^

Quote of the Day

"You have your way.  I have my way.  As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." --- Friedrich Nietzsche

TOUCH

TOUCH
--- by Natasha Bedingfield

I was tryin' to cross the street
When I tripped and spilled my coffee
On a man who yelled at me
And then walked off in a hurry
Now he's gonna be late for work
So he called his secretary
Said to cancel his appointment with the guy in the lobby

Who's been waiting for a while
And talking on the phone
Got invited to a party and thought he couldn't go
But he's here right now
Standing in my house
And someone turns the music loud

So we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Yeah we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Gonna party all night till the sun comes up
Cuz it feels like the world dissapears around us

When we dance
When we laugh
When we touch

I was planning out my party
Running errands 'round the city
Grocery bags full of alcohol
And chocolate chip cookies
Saw a dress that was amazing
In the window of a boutique
So I went across the street
Then my heel broke and it threw me
I tried to catch my balance
But I was supposed to fall
It seems that spilling coffee
Was no accident at all
Cuz you're here right now
Sitting on my couch
Funny how it all works out

So we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Yeah we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Gonna party all night till the sun comes up
Cuz it feels like the world dissapears around us

When we dance
When we laugh
When we touch

Every choice we make
And every road we take
Every interaction
Starts a chain reaction
We're both affected
When we least expect it
And then when we touched
And it all connected
Every choice we make
And every road we take
Every interaction
Starts a chain reaction
We're both affected when we least expect it
And then when we...

When we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Yeah we dance
And we laugh
And we touch (touch touch)

Gonna party all night till the sun comes up
Cuz it feels like the world dissapears around us

When we dance
When we laugh
When we touch

Ooo oo oo ooo
We touch

Ooo oo oo ooo
We touch

Ooo oo oo ooo
We touch

Ooo oo oo ooo
We touch

* Do you believe in 'DESTINY' or 'FATE'?!? And always looking forward to 'Serendipity'?!?  Or just accept whatever you get out of the daily 'Unpredictability'?!?  Well, MooMoo believed that everything really happens for a reason and sometimes we could be the one that is directly or indirectly contributing to how our future paths are... whether good or bad...

Some nice quotes to ponder on...

"The best subjects are always people, who never fail to amaze me by their unpredictability" --- Ronnie James Dio

"We humans are full of unpredictable emotions that logic alone cannot solve." --- James T. Kirk

"Life is too unpredictable to live by a schedule." --- Unknown

"In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love.  The other 99 percent is due to our efforts." --- Peter McWilliams

"Life consists of what a man is thinking about all day." --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Serendipity.  Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for." --- Lawrence Block

"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it." --- Jean de La Fontaine

"Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you.  You have to persevere, you have to insist." --- Andrea Bocelli

"Destiny is no matter of chance.  It is a matter of choice.  It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." --- William Jennings Bryan
