損人不利己

I really really don't understand why anyone would do something that is 損人不利己. Recent news and events have told me that people like this do exist. It's very disturbing and disappointing. Sigh. Natural disasters and accidents already ruin a lot of people's lives, why add to that through man-made means? Why ruin someone else's life when it really does you no good? I don't get it. What has this world come to?

Time management

People, well me in particular, seem to always talk about crappy days they've had and bad things that happened to them but hardly never about good days and good things. I've always wanted to change that behaviour. I think it's very unhealthy. But when I talk about happy things I'm scared I'll somehow jinx the situation. Oh the dilemma. Oh well, I've decided to try this out. Here goes. I'm happy and proud to say what an awesome weekend I had! I didn't know that so much can be done in one weekend. I used to think, no I don't have enough time to do this and that. I finally realized that if you can manage your time properly, you can do whatever your heart desires (to a certain degree)! So don't procrastinate, get your work done efficiently and then you can play!

Happiness

To find happiness in life, I think we first need to know who we are and what we want in life. What do we want our careers to be? What type of person are we? Does our personality fit with the careers that we want? Does our values fit in with the company's that we are working for/want to work for?

For me, doing something that I love that also covers the basics of living (food, shelter, clothes) would be ideal.

How would you be happy?

What is your choice?

Have you come across an obstacle that is very hard to jump over?

What did you do to overcome it? Did you:
1) avoided it
2) faced it
3) left it alone and let it solve itself

What do you do when facing stress and obstacles?

知足

最近的一切一切和我的各種觀察讓我知道做人要懂得知足。想開心要常常懷著感激心。很多人因為有太多慾望，對自己有太多的要求，所以天天都過得不快樂。最 後會發現浪費很多時間，很多光陰。有些人， 天天都在批評自己，批評其他人，常常抱怨。這習慣不只影響自己的自信和健康，還影響別人的心情。最後害了自己，還害了別人。請細心想一想，你真是那麼慘 嗎？其實你已經很幸福了，你身邊有很多很多值得你珍惜的東西。不要要求太多，才能找到快樂。

Asian Entertainment Review: Khalil and Gary

It is yet another snow day, which tends to make me appreciate music even more than I usually do.

I've recently been listening to Khalil Fong (Wonderland) and Gary Cao (格格Blue, Superman, Super Sunshine). They're both very strong singers with quite the talent for song writing.

Khalil's Wonderland
Looks like Khalil decided to change his look with the new blue appearing on his cd cover and on every shirt in his wardrobe now. It's pretty funny since he used to only wear dark/dull colours. Enough about aesthetics, the songs in this cd are wonderful as usual. Must listens: Track 1: Love Song and Track 4: 爱在. I instantly fell in love with both and both are included in the playlist on this blog. The other songs are great too but just doesn't have the umph factor.

Gary's 格格Blue, Superman, Super Sunshine
He's been around for a while but I just recently discovered this talented Malaysian singer. Very strong voice with quite an impressive range. His first two cd's were very well done. Lots of great songs like: 數到五答應我, 燭光晚餐, 情人節快樂, 妳是我的寶貝,天使忌妒的生活, just to name a few. His latest album, Super Sunshine, is not as great. Similar to Jay Chou, he seems to be experimenting with new styles and I'm not really feeling it. For example, Qi Chuang Ge. What is that??? Sorry, but it's too bizarre for me. I don't really have a favourite in this album. Maybe Ai De Hu Du because it's jazzy but still not a must listen.

Bad day 2

Ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go your way?

It sucks...

Especially if you had a whole two week full of those.

Hopefully today's the climax.
