stay

I was looking through websites on ideas for homes the other day.
And some designs were really to my liking.
Of course i started to picture what id like my house to be.
And then, i realized it take money and quite a bit of it
to make a beautiful home like the one portrayed in my mind.

Anyways i started to think about how to buy anything at all, we need cash.
And how 'money makes the world go round'
Then i wondered if the career i wanted to pursue would would allow me to
afford things i need, want, or like in the future.

I always thought that as long as your doing something you love and enjoy, its fine.
Its not about the money. Well, to a certain extent of course.
But yeah , then i realized how we are tempted by
so many materialistic things in this world.
Things that look nice, or pretty.
Like, A mountable flat screen TV, branded clothes or an iPad for example.
Im sure everyone falls to these temptations including me.

I love shopping and when i see something nice i like, i feel like getting it.
And when i cant i dont feel satisfied.
But actually, alot of us chasing these materialistic things.
In fact, all our life. Working hard so that we can afford those things.

Then i decided.
I dont need a big beautiful house.Just something affordable and cosy.
I dont need a big house, just a house i can call a home.
And yes i like shopping, but i guess i can suppress my spending
and settle for cheaper alternatives.
Id to see my future where I focus on my
family and the other more important things in life.

I want to be rich alright.
I want to be rich in happiness, experience, love and more.
Dont get me wrong, we do need money to survive in this life.
But we just need enough, to be comfortable.

So theres more than enough food on the table, so that you can afford your
children's education etc etc.

I know the Lord wants to give everything and more to us cause he loves us.
But i guess im saying, when it comes to materialistic items
I can learn to live with just enough.

somewhere out there


,,

Once upon a time there was a monk and his master.
The monk would always go to his master with his problems.

One day, the monk came to him and told him
how he always seemed to be angered
and displeased by others and how he was recently
hurt by a certain somebody.
The monk felt angry at them.
His master then told the monk to do this,
Take a potato and carve in the name of the person who hurt you.
Get a bag, and put the potato inside.
You must then carry it wherever you go.
If there are others who hurt you.
Do the same thing, carve their name and carry the potato.

After some time, the monk came back to the master.
The bag the monk was carrying was huge.
Then the monk said,
Master, i have done what you said.
But now the bag is so big and heavy.
Some potatoes have even gone rotten and the smell is unpleasant.
It is a heavy burden and i can hardly put anymore potatoes inside!

The master then smiled to him.
And told him to empty the bag and throw all the potatoes away.
The moment the monk removed the bag, his burden was lifted.
The master then told the monk.
When you carve the potato, after some time, you should throw it away.


It is not asked of us to forget only to forgive.

just keep swimming

Peeps, I remember once or twice my dad told me
that the Dory fish is bad for your health.
And yeah,commonly, its the fish they use to make fish and chips.
Its cheap and they sell it in supermarkets and
restaurants such as Manhattan fish market.
I hardly ever order fish and chips, but i never really investigated.

Anyways , i just did. And people don't eat the Dory fish !
Its contaminated with poisons and bacteria.
If you wanna know more heres the link.

Cheers :D

FTW will never mean 'F*** The World' to me.
How can you say such a thing to the only planet we call home.

this post is dedicated to voon suyin

Does nobody want to hire Samantha Tham?
Do i look under-qualified or incompetent??
Perhaps :(


Its been a week since i applied for a job at coffee bean
which i was told would get back to me in a day.
And 2 weeks since i applied for a job at Boost.
Sigh and sigh.

It would be lovely to have a job esp. with the amount of time i have
and of course earning some cash for myself.
Though, someone did ask me if i could tutor primary 4 math
and with pay too. So i did not hesitate,
but i of course doubted my ability with maths at first.
Sad how i did even if its just grade 4 math .
Hah.

Anyways, im on the worry wagon these days.
Results are coming out real soon.
And theres even a bigger chance now that i might not be heading
where i want to be.
But, nobody is to blame i guess.

I just hope God is with me on this one.
I really want to go.
I made plans.


near, far, where ever you are.
