It's Who You Are

IT'S WHO YOU ARE
--- AJ Michalka

It's not the price
It's not the game
It's not the score
It's not the fame
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are

It's not how fast
It's not how far
It's not of cheers
It's who you are

In darkest night
You make your sun
You choose your race
And then you run

It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not about seeing about who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are

You lose the moon
Then be a star
It's not too soon
Be who you are
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are

It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are

When you have found
How fast you can run
Ehen you have found
Your place in the sun,
It won't be just you that you'll find
Has made the run and the climb
It's everyone

It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
you'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
It's who you are

Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky

It's never how much you have
It's who you are

* Nice song from the soundtrack of this impossible true story "Secretariat" ... Gosh, only 1 week away from the gym, MooMoo's stamina really dropped and she feels so sluggish... really need to get back on track!! =p

* A beautiful song that MooMoo likes from this Taiwan Idol Series "醉後決定愛上你 - LOVE YOU" by Raine Yang, one of MooMoo's favourite actress.

Getting out of 'Comfort Zone'?!?

Reading an article from 'TINY BUDDHA' really set MooMoo thinking...  on being too happy and settled down in our 'Comfort Zone'.

"Do you do something because you want to?"

"Do you do it because you're scared to do what you really want to do?"

Sometimes, we just need to constantly probe ourselves with questions...  we do not want to do certain things because we do not really like to do it... or is it because we fear of certain things when we choose to do it?!?  Unless we are happy with the state that we're in... we do not need to ask further and continue to stay in our 'Comfort Zone'.  Else, we really need to do some thinking and set some actions in place.

Of course, trying to do something out of our normal routine really ain't easy at all.  MooMoo tested some of the things this year.... tried doing a few things differently and it's really uneasy and definitely not comfortable.  Well, some things turn out alright after some time but some just got a bit hay-wired.  Hahaha... guess changes takes time.  

Like what Einstein said, it's really insane to expect different outcomes when we do the same thing over and over each day.  Hahaha!  It makes sense to me.  ^=^


"Our lives improve only when we take chances and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves." --- Walter Anderson

Best Friends VS Lovers

The other day, MooMoo's friend posted this in Facebook and MooMoo finds it very interesting.  Everyone would love to have a beautiful relationship like this, where both can be lovers and at the same time best friends.  You can just be comfortable and be yourself at all times around each other and everything just falls nicely into places.  Of course, it's pretty rare but it's really not impossible.  MooMoo has known such a couple...  from best friends turned to best couple.  They are now happily married, very loving with 2 beautiful and lovely daughters.  

* Some nice quotes that MooMoo likes...

"To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world." --- Unknown

"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see and imperfect person perfectly." --- Unknown

"Having a heart and being afraid to love someone, is like having wings and being afraid of heights. Take a chance in life... "

There's really nothing to lose... ^=^

1st MC of the year... = (

One of MooMoo's new year resolutions is try not to take any unnecessary MCs this year but she just did today. * Sigh... Really lose to her aunty... 1st aunty went MIA for 2 months and suddenly decided to visit with big huge present.  MooMoo's poor tummy could not stand the 'War World II' in there.  Hahaha.

Today, it's the 1st time MooMoo went to visit her panel doctor around her new neighbourhood.  After zZz the whole morning, MooMoo felt better and decided to visit the doctor to get her MC.  When she reached the clinic, she prayed that she will not meet a male doctor.  How lucky of her... she got a young and handsome doctor.  GREAT!! Fancy meeting a young and handsome guy at the wrong time. =p

Doc:  Helo!! So what's the problem? (looking at MooMoo...)

Moo2:  Err... menstrual cramp?!?

Doc:  Ohhh... bla... bla... bla... (asked LOTS and LOTS of questions...)

Suddenly....
Doc:  How many pads you use a week?

Moo2:  Harrr?!? (looking at the doctor... a bit shocked)

Doc:  Ohh... I mean in a day... (looking at MooMoo again..)

Moo2:  Hmm.... 3 to 4... (MooMoo wanted to laugh but don't dare coz he looked so serious)

Then, Doc continued to interrogate MooMoo.... asking so many questions and it's kinda awkward when the one asking is a young and handsome guy... hahaha...  really sweat... usually doc would ask is the flow heavy or light but never up till how many pads you use... lucky never ask any further... how thick is the pads... etc...


* Hopefully this will be the last MC before welcoming the year of Dragon officially next Monday... LOL!!!  Must give warning to aunty to visit according to schedule every month and don't simply come knocking at the door anytime or go MIA all the time... = p 

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."
