Last day of Tiger Year 2010

Every year, MooMoo would look back and see what she have achieved or not achieved so far throughout the whole year and most of times, she would end up complaining that she have not done enough. As usual, human are never satisfied... or should I change to cows also are never easily satisfied. Kekeke....

Well, let's do it differently this time. Instead of complaining, MooMoo will start counting her blessings for the Tiger Year 2010 and hope it would be even better for the coming Bunny Year 2011....

1. Promoted after 2 years in the Company... of course it comes with MORE work as well. haha.. Hope to get a FAT Bonus next year!

2. Happy to have GREAT supportive and loving family especially MooMoo's mommy. And the latest addition to the family, Cutie Pie is always super cute and very entertaining... now the little one (not so little actually...) is the most loved...precious jewel in the family.

3. Learnt a lot (both good and bad) when doing a good cause for the 'Hair 4 Hope' thingy. And hair still growing slowly after 5 months... and had some li'l surprises along the way....


4. MooMoo had tried to be a better person from last year... working on her 'ATTITUDE'... though had not been the best but has changed quite a lot.... and this would be an ongoing learning process...

5. Had great roomie and housemates to keep the moo-ing life interesting and keep her going all the way... plus the li'l chicky pie who cheers up our days all the times without fail.

6. Had lots and lots of FUN gym-ing and 'STEP-ing' all the way with great gym buddies that I've met in California Fitness. You guys really make working out extra fun!

7. Won a Macbook during lucky draws in Company D&D, which falls on her birthday. Had been winning lots of stuff this year. Never been so lucky... ^=^

8. Completed all her races (except for the Penang Bridge run, thanks to Tiger Airways) with injury free and managed to run her 1st 30km race this year. Working towards 42km...

9. Managed to donate blood during the Christmas season after 3 failed attempts. Hope this will not be the first and last donation in Singapore.

10. Reduced weight from 150lbs to 140lbs which is about 65kg. Not the ideal weight of 60kg but at least there's some achievement there. Look not very much different but at least still looking healthy and fit. Hahaha...

Thank GOD for everything! Well, there are also many other things that are missed out terribly... which needs LOTS of attention next year. MooMoo should not be looking backwards and should be looking forward.... MooMoo will try to plan things out and work on it... Wish her 'All the Best' and hope for a better Bunny Year 2011!!! ^=^

Wish everyone of you out there a very "HAPPY NEW BUNNY YEAR 2011"!!! And may everyone be healthy and happy always.... * Hugs & Kisses * from MooMoo

MooMoo's Races from Year 2008 till 2010

It's pretty amazing when MooMoo looked back and realized that she had done so many runs within these 3 years. A fat MooMoo who used to hate exercise and can't even run for 1km ended up running more and more each year. Hahaha. Guess pretty much thanks to her good buddy, Ms. Mo. If not because of Ms. Mo, MooMoo would never have started running and some more have to pay to run.

Well, MooMoo thinks she didn't do that great this year on the running but she had enjoyed each runs in different ways. Each run was a different experience and gave her different challenges. Hope it will be better next year 2011, which is just a day away. ^=^

What do you see from a 'CRAB' picture?

Everyone of us have different views and perspectives on things we see each day.

What do you see from a 'CRAB' picture?

To some people, it may mean 'FOOD'. To some people, it may mean 'Pain' looking at the size of the pincher. To others, it may mean 'Itch' due to seafood allergies.

Meaning from the WEB....

1.A crab apple tree or its fruit.

2.A quarrelsome, ill-tempered person.

v.crabbed,crab·bing,crabs

v.intr.Informal

To find fault; criticize someone or something.

v.tr.

1.InformalTo interfere with and ruin; spoil.

2.InformalTo find fault with; complain about.

3.To make ill-tempered or sullen.

Well, it can simply mean 'CRAB' = 'CRAP'...

To chinese-ed fella, it may mean "HENG XING BA TAO".... (read in mandarin) - simply could mean unreasonable-always saying and doing things in own ways without regarding other people's feelings.....

Does the expression of the 'crab' actually counts or affects the views? hehe.... ^=^

It's Not Easy to be Me

It's Not Easy to be Me by Five for Fighting

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird…I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'bout a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd…but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed…but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away…away from me
Well it’s all right…You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything…

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
inside of me ...... inside of me ...(x2)

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet

It’s not easy ... wu.. hoo.. hoo..
It’s not easy to be me...

* It's the SUPERMAN song... even super heroes does not lead an easy life... ^=^

Thank you so much!! ^=^

Thank you very much for all the lovely wishes and wonderful gifts!!! ^=^

Presents all nicely wrapped...

All the lovely presents revealed... ^=^

Merry Christmas ^=^

MooMoo wishes everyone a very HaPPy "MERRY CHRISTMAS"!!! ^=^

Lucky Lucky...

MooMoo just won herself $100 Robinson vouchers at her IT Dept Nite. Guess her lucky streak this year is still not over.... Time to go shopping!!! Hahaha...

Crazy Christmas 2010

MooMoo enjoyed the 'Crazy Christmas 2010' show tonight with Piggy. It was the last show today. The whole Dream Academy cast were great. There were people like Selena Tan, Pam Oei, Sebastian Tan*, Denise Tan, John Lee, Robin Goh, Michaela Therese, Karen Tan, George Chan, RJ Rosales and vocal ensemble Vocaluptuous. Supposingly, MooMoo had free tickets to go watch but there were some technical problems. Therefore, she ended up buying the tickets to go instead. Anyway, she had a great time.

Pocketful of Sunshine

"Pocketful Of Sunshine"

I got a pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love and I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh, oh

Do what you want,
But you're never gonna break me,
Dticks and stones are never gonna shake me
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Take me away (take me away)
A secret place (a secret place)
A sweet escape (a sweet escape)
Take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
To better days (to better days)
Take me away (take me away)
A hiding place (a hiding place)

I got pocket,
Got a pocket full of sunshine
I've got a love and I know that it's all mine
Oh, oh, oh

Wish that you could,
But you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you can to control me
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
There's a place that I go
That nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there's no more lies
And the darkness is light
And nobody cries
there's only butterflies

[Chorus 2x]
The sun is on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright
The sun is on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I'll be alright

* I like the way she jumped out of her office building with the parachute... haha...

Crazy Love

MooMoo was reading this book she randomly picked up in the library called 'Crazy Love' by Francis Chan.... and MooMoo come across this interesting phrase to ponder on.

"True Faith is loving a person after he has hurt you."

It is a pretty interesting book which gaves MooMoo some insights after reading it, though it is still a long way till she can practise the above phrase. Hahaha...

Cinderel-Lah!

MooMoo really enjoyed 'Cinderel-Lah' musical on Saturday night with Piggy and the gang.

It was really very entertaining and we laughed non-stop from the beginning till the end. Wild Rice cast are great and we really enjoyed ourselves, though there were delay due to technical errors and 1st half of the show were without the sets. Overall, it was still great! ^=^

Rapunzel

Thumbs Up for 'RAPUNZEL'!!! ^=^

Love it so much... really cheered up my day today. Had been a bit 'EMO' today.... God knows why... but after watching this Walt Disney's 'Tangled' more known as the old classic 'Rapunzel'... MooMoo just felt better after all the non-stop laughters. At some part of the show, it was pretty touching as well....

The animal characters like Pascal, the chameleon and Maximus, the palace guard's horse is so cute and damn funny... especially the horse, which behaves like a doggy. Piggy loves Maximus so much. The songs were great too. MooMoo really enjoyed the show.

If you haven't watch it, go watch it!!! Highly recommended.... Watch with no regrets.

1st Blood Donation in Singapore

It's been 3 years 3 months since MooMoo came to work in Singapore and today is the 1st time she donated blood here. It's not MooMoo's 1st blood donation but she can't recall when was her last blood donation in Malaysia.

MooMoo tried to go for blood donation a few times in Singapore but got rejected due to low iron level and low blood pressure. It's pretty strict here that if you have low iron level, you are strictly not allowed to donate any blood.

MooMoo still remember when she was in Malaysia, they took 3/4 pack of her blood though she have low blood pressure. Hahaha... And she had bad experiences back then... where they keep poking both her hands with needles many times coz they could not find the vein.

Today things went pretty smoothly. MooMoo's iron level hit the borderline of 12.5, which made her eligible to donate. ^=^ After trying for many times, at last she is allowed to donate her blood. Hope this will not be the last time. Just gotta keep my iron level stable.

They were very professional over here. No pain at all... haha... coz they had injected local anaesthetic. And they plaster me with colourful plaster, which you can choose your own colour. Ms. Mo loves it so much coz there's heart shapes all over it... but it didn't tempt her enough to donate some of her blood.

Giving and Receiving

Giving and Receiving

We are taught that it is better to give than to receive.

How can there be a giver if there is no receiver? Allow for the flow of both in your life. This is an abundant place in which we live and the Universe is waiting to offer you the gifts that have your name on them.

When you are feeling rich (emotionally, spiritually, materially), it is so easy to overflow into the lives of others. You are worthy to receive!An allegory to illustrate the beauty of this concept.

Two Brothers.

Once there were two brothers who inherited their father's land. The brothers divided the land in half and each one farmed his own section. Over time, the older brother married and had six children, while the younger brother never married.

One night, the younger brother lay awake. "It's not fair that each of us has half the land to farm," he thought. "My brother has six children to feed and I have none. He should have more grain than I do."

So that night the younger brother went to his silo, gathered a large bundle of wheat, and climbed the hill that separated the two farms and over to his brother's farm. Leaving the wheat in his brother's silo, the younger brother returned home, feeling pleased with himself.

Earlier that very same night, the older brother was also lying awake. "It's not fair that each of us has half the land to farm," he thought. "In my old age my wife and I will have our grown children to take care of us, not to mention grandchildren, while my brother will probably have none. He should at least sell more grain from the fields now so he can provide for himself with dignity in his old age."

So that night, too, he secretly gathered a large bundle of wheat, climbed the hill, left it in his brother's silo, and returned home, feeling pleased with himself. The next morning, the younger brother was surprised to see the amount of grain in his barn unchanged. "I must not have taken as much wheat as I thought," he said, bemused.

"Tonight I'll be sure to take more." That very same moment, his older brother was also standing in his barn, musing much the same thoughts. After night fell, each brother gathered a greater amount of wheat from his barn and in the dark, secretly delivered it to his brother's barn.

The next morning, the brothers were again puzzled and perplexed. "How can I be mistaken?" each one scratched his head. "There's the same amount of grain here as there was before I cleared the pile for my brother. This is impossible! Tonight I'll make no mistake - I'll take the pile down to the very floor. That way I'll be sure the grain gets delivered to my brother."

The third night, more determined than ever, each brother gathered a large pile of wheat from his barn, loaded it onto a cart, and slowly pulled his haul through the fields and up the hill to his brother's barn. At the top of the hill, under the shadow of a moon, each brother noticed a figure in the distance. Who could it be?When the two brothers recognized the form of the other brother and the load he was pulling behind, they realized what had happened. Without a word, they dropped the ropes to their carts and embraced.

Build a life made of love. When we are born, we are sent to this Earth plane with a bag of tools for the purpose of constructing a life. We might think of them as standard issue.

The good news is, they can be used as often as needed and they will always be available.

They come labeled with name tags that might read "ENTHUSIASM, CREATIVITY, INTELLIGENCE, STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, WISDOM, INSIGHT, LOVE, JOY, TALENT, RESPONSIBILITY, SUCCESS, PLAYFULNESS, COMPASSION, FUN"

How, when and where you use them is solely / soul-ly up to you. Have you looked into your tool bag lately?

"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live."

How do you choose to live?
