Quotes to Ponder On...

Some random "QUOTES" for MooMoo to ponder on...

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” --- Carl Gustav Jung


“A belief is only a thought you continue to think. A belief is nothing more than a chronic pattern of thought, and you have the ability -if you try even a little bit- to begin a new pattern, to tell a new story, to achieve a different vibration, to change your point of attraction.” --- Abraham-Hicks


“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.” --- Unknown


“Never argue with ignorance. It only leads to frustration.” --- Unknown


“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.” --- Ann Landers


* Sigh... MooMoo waited so long to go to gym and do all the classes that she missed out the whole week... But ended up not able to go and it's long weekends!!! Arrgghhh....  Change of plans... #$@%*  =p  = ((

Lost Generation

LOST GENERATION
--- by Jonathan Reed

I'm a part of Lost Generation

and I refuse to believe that

I can change the world

I realize this may be a shock but

"Happiness comes from within"

is a lie, and

"Money will make me happy"

So in thirty years I'll tell my children

They are not the most important thing in my life

My employer will know that

I have my priority straight because

Work

Is more important than

Family

I tell you this

Once upon a time

Families stay together

But this will not be true in my era

This is a quick fix society

Experts tell me

Thirty years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce

I do not concede that

I will live in a country of my own making

In the future

Environmental destruction will be the norm

No longer can it be said that

My peers and I care about this earth

It will be evident that

My generation is apathetic and lethargic

It is foolish to presume that

There is hope

*  This is one of the Insights that MooMoo like to share with all...  In case, you're wondering if this is a song... it is not.  It's a poem, wonderfully written by Jonathan Reed for a competition and he actually won 2nd place with this piece and MooMoo find this poem really very interesting.  First, please read this POEM and let MooMoo know how you feel... Then, please read the POEM in a reverse format, which is from bottom to top and let MooMoo know how you feel.  Don't you think it's cool?!?  Things can be viewed so differently and be interpreted differently when it's done differently.  It's Amazing when you can look beyond what you actually see, hear, think or feel... ^=^

The Big Letter "C"

I'm Gonna LOVE you Through It
--- by Martina McBride

She dropped the phone and burst into tearsThe doctor just confirmed her fearsHer husband held it in and held her tightCancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38With three kids who need you in their livesHe said, "I know that you're afraid and I am, tooBut you'll never be alone, I promise you"
When you're weak, I'll be strongWhen you let go, I'll hold onWhen you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyesWhen you feel lost and scared to death,Like you can't take one more stepJust take my hand, together we can do itI'm gonna love you through it.
She made it through the surgery fineThey said they caught it just in timeBut they had to take more than they plannedNow it's forced smiles and baggy shirtsTo hide what the cancer took from herBut she just wants to feel like a woman againShe said, "I don't think I can do this anymore"He took her in his arms and said "That's what my love is for"
When you're weak, I'll be strongWhen you let go, I'll hold onWhen you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyesWhen you feel lost and scared to death,Like you can't take one more stepJust take my hand, together we can do itI'm gonna love you through it.
And when this road gets too longI'll be the rock you lean onJust take my hand, together we can do itI'm gonna love you through itI'm gonna love you through it

* Lately, the BIG letter "C" is such a common thing.  "C" is not for "Vitamin C" and not for "CUTE" but for "CANCER".  People around MooMoo, near and far, is hit with the BIG letter "C".  It's pretty sad but it just happens... Sometimes, when you're sick or at your worst moments, you will just realize who is actually true to you and really cares for you... you will need LOTS and LOTS of LOVE, CARE and SUPPORT to fight the BIG letter "C".  To ALL who's fighting CANCER out there, "KEEP FIGHTING and NEVER GIVE UP!!!"  May GOD Bless you all... ^=^

For Better or Worse...

For BETTER or WORSE...

---by Debbie Gibson

[VERSE1: ]
You could walk behind me 
Or you could hold my hand 
You could know me fully 
Or never understand 
And you can drive me crazy 
Like only you can 
Life's blessing, life's curse, 
For better or worse 

[VERSE2:] 
You could leave me stranded 
Or hold me with your eyes 
Come home empty handed 
Or with a brilliant surprise 
And you could sing me love songs 
Or just make me blue 
Life's blessing, life's curse, 
For better or worse 
I'm with you 

[BRIDGE:] 
Sure there are plenty of fish in the sea 
Flocks of birds on the rise 
Baby, not for me 
'Cause I live in paradise 

[VERSE3:] 
And if harm's way found you 
You know I'd be there 
To wrap my love around you 
To let you know I care 

And when the angels came down 
I'd say don't you dare 
You know not what you do 
May God take me first 
For better or worse 
I love you 

May God take me first 
For better or worse 
I love you...

* Wow... didn't realize that "Debbie Gibson" is already 41 this year.  MooMoo still recalls one of her big hit last time, "Electric Youth".  How time flies ya...  MooMoo feels like going somewhere for a LONG Holidays...

I Got You...

I Got You...
--- by Leona Lewis

A place to crash, I got you
No need to ask, I got you
Just get on the phone, I got you
Come and pick you up if I have to

What's weird about it
Is we're right at the end
And mad about it
Just figured it out in my head

I'm proud to say, I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to

For better for worse, I got you, I got you

Ain't falling a part, or bitter
Let's be bigger than that and remember
The cooling outdoor when you're all alone
We'll go on surviving
No drama, no need for a show

Just wanna say, I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse, I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye (go ahead), 
I'll be alright (say goodbye)
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse, I got you

'Cause this is love and life
And nothing we can both control
And if it don't feel right
You're not losing me by letting me know

Go ahead and say goodbye (say goodbye), I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse, I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye (go ahead)
I'll be alright (say goodbye)
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse, I got you

A place to crash, I got you
No need to ask, I got you




* sigh... beautiful weekends always passes so quickly... but luckily, next week, MooMoo only work for 1 day... ^=^

Addictions... can K.I.L.L.

Lately, Piggy have been so into "Killing of her Buddies"!!!  She is sooo "ADDICTED" to the "ANGRY BIRDS" game.... turning into PRO already.... telling MooMoo about the what each different bird in different stages can do... some comes with boomerang function, some comes with bomb-dropping function, etc.  Piggy even bought a whole family of the Piggies.  Ain't they cute all lining up together?!?

* MooMoo is also recently out of control with her iPhone4 too... spending so much time with her new Toy, downloading and exploring all different types of Applications... so unhealthy... she had to basically keep charging her phone.  Plus, too much "HANGING".... LOL!!!

Less Exercise, More Food = ?!?

Lately, MooMoo have not been doing her usual routine of workouts but keep eating like crazy.  MooMoo feels exactly like 'POOH' in the picture above.  Plus, MooMoo have not been running since August.  MooMoo really wonders if she can complete her Half Marathon in one piece this December.  Hahaha.  Now, even Piggy runs more than MooMoo. 

* A "FAT" Quote...

"I am in SHAPE. ROUND is a shape." --- unknown

Singapore River Amazing Race

Thanks to "Singapore's National Population and Talent Division (NPTD)", MooMoo had a GREAT outing this morning around Singapore River.

MooMoo was invited to this event "Singapore River Trail".  Initially, MooMoo thought it was just a leisure fun walk going through the Singapore History along the Singapore River.... BUT it was MORE than that...  It was like a "MINI Amazing Race".  It was pretty tiring running here and there along the Singapore River under the hot sun but it was lots of fun.

We were all divided into 5 teams of 5 to 6 persons and each team were given 3 mobile devices.  Each team is suppose to go visit 15 destinations as specified in the map given, within 2 hours solving the puzzles, quizzes and doing certain tasks.

We had lots of problem with the device trying to connect to the GPS and load the quizzes and information.  Therefore, a lot of time was wasted here and there.

MooMoo didn't really manage to capture a lot of good pictures due to running around and there were dark clouds as you can see in the picture.  Hahaha.  MooMoo missed her 8Mb phone camera.  

We went to visit a lot of bridges... such as Read Bridge, Cavenagh Bridge, Andersen Bridge, etc... and also landmarks around the areas, such as the The Merlion, The Fullerton Hotel, Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, The Parliament House, etc. 

Some random pictures taken along the journey of the race.  MooMoo's team consist of Piggy, one Vietnamese guy whom is pretty quiet and a friendly couple from Brazil.  The Brazilian guy was quite cute and his wife is really funny.  She is so sporting, energetic and going all the way for the race.  LOL!

We ended the day's activity with a Singapore Boat Cruise along the river and had a scrumptious lunch at TCC on Singapore's NPTD.

MooMoo snapped some random pictures while on the cruise along the river but the pictures didn't turn out that great.  Here's the "Marina Bay Sands" building...

And the Merlion as well as the famous Singapore's Durian... "The Esplanade"... look at the amount of clouds hanging around... kekeke...

Although MooMoo's team did not win the prize, we had lots of fun and made some new friends.  We even took lots of funny pictures and videos in order trying to win the team some points.  =p

Oh yea... along the race, our friendly facilitator actually point out to us that there's this vending machine that sells shoes.  It's flats for women.  Cool huh?!?  In case, any woman who's tired after a long walk in her heels, she can just go get a pair of flats for $20.00.  

MooMoo ended her day with a "GOOD" stretch at Balance class in the gym.  It was the instructor's last session today.  No more afternoon Balance class for MooMoo on Saturdays... = (

* Gosh, time really flies... it has been past 3 months since MooMoo last shaved... 2 more months to go and MooMoo will welcome another fresh New Year... Nov & Dec is just so very packed with LOTS of stuff... hope everything will falls in place nicely... ^=^

HAPPY ( * - * )

HAPPY
--- by Leona Lewis

[Verse 1:]
Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can't have everything
Don't you take chances
Might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain
Cause love won't set you free
I can't stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah

[Verse 2:]
Holding on tightly
Just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear, ohh
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me out of here
I can't stand by your side, ohh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cause i'm just trying to be happy, ohh, happy, ohh

[Bridge:]
So any turns that I can't see,
like I'm a stranger on this road
But don't say victim
Don't say anything

[Chorus:]
So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me

[Outro:]
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, yeah, happy, ohh, happy
I just wanna be, ohh
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, happy

A Different Day... ^=^

It's AMAZING that MooMoo didn't go to GYM at all today when there's her FAVOURITE special STEP classes the whole day.  MooMoo's gym mates was wondering if MooMoo had gone NUTS.  MooMoo would usually spend a whole day Gym-ing during Public Holidays when there's special classes.  Well, guess sometimes doing something different is good for a change.  It's not that bad after all.

Well, MooMoo had FUN whole day....
1. Lazying on her Comfy Bed;
2. Nice Breakkie with Piggy;
3. Eating Yummy Chicken Wings;
4. Shopping@DAISO;
5. Sinful Supper@Xin Wang.

And not forgetting "Playing with her Evil Monster iPHONE" which poisoned MooMoo badly as it ate up majority of her time.  LOL!!!

Anyway, MooMoo wish a very "HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!" to all who celebrates out there... ^=^


* MooMoo so looking forward to the weekends.... 2 more days to go... Yippee!!!
