Another Year has gone by

today is the last day of 2011...time flies, felt like 2011 just arrived not long ago and now, it's time to say good bye...don't think think we have to face the same thing every year? i remember when i was still in primary school, teachers made us write dates on our exercise books for every lesson we had...i remember how i always wrote the wrong year when the year changed...@_@ so i had to keep reminding myself to not forget to update it every time i put the date down.....hehe...well, after N yrs ago, i started not to have new year resolutions anymore? why? because i COULDNT achive anything i planned for in the beginning of year so i decided to let nature takes its course...hehehe...okie dokie, let me reminisce what i achieved and what had happened in 2011:

1. Left HK which i lived in for the past 5 yrs and moved to Shanghai...
2. Changed a job that i had been doing for the past 3.5 yrs and jumped into a job that i had not done before~~
3. closer to my family and friends

ah...as time passes by, my memory is also getting worse and worse.....i think i have done a lot more but couldnt remember... :p

Jane's home cooked meal~~

when i was back home in Oct, mum cooked many things for me...she made her delicious home-made meal and of coz, nutritious soup known as 炖补...i saw mum put in many good stuff in the soup...red dates, ginseng, expensive lean pork and some which i dono what they are called in English...i felt i had gained back all the lost nutrients for the past months....haha.. this month, i decided to do the same for myself so i called mum for recipe....because i was also sick, so mum asked me to make ginger wine + fried egg for a meal..so i did it obediently too...and i made something unexpectedly because i found 4 potatoes in the fridge @_@ ...made smashed potato with butter and cheese...yummy...really, i stored more nutrients in my body which can keep me warm throughout the winter... :) Love you, mum~~ i should learn more recipes from her next time~~

My Cozy Corner

my family, relatives and friends who had been to my place in Shanghai before love my place...they said my place is cozy~~well, i have many cozy corners at home :p but there is one corner that i LOVE the MOST...why? because the corner is for my love ones, it has many things that i love..aside from my family pictures, it has 3 handmade horse dolls that i bought in Xi'an during the trip with my sis and mum back in May and it has one clay horse that i bought in Xi'an 3 or 4 years ago when i first visited it...don't you think they are LOVELY?

Happy birthday mummy

Happy birthday my dear mum... I feel bad for not being able to celebrate mum's bday in person with her... But my heart is with mum and I know she will be happy to see her bday cake today when Jenn picks it up from Hilton.. Lucky Jenn is there to represent all of us.. And my dad is gonna take her out for a romantic dinner... But with a super BIG light bulb called Jenn... Hehe... Even though I'm afar, wanna give mum her cake online (this is not the real thing) and a big bowl of long life noodle... 祝老媽子年年有今日，歲歲有今朝。我愛您~~~o(^_^)o

Fruitful week

Went to shanghai technology museum with my nieces and nephew plus my sis' in law's family. Two more kids tagged along. I really enjoyed the trip because I found how lovely I am and how lovable I can be. There is an old saying - kids are honest and they can tell if you are nice and kind and like you as such... All FIVE kids LOVE me sooooooo much... So much that they all clang to me whole day during whole trip.. It was good fun.. Coz I kept hearing gugu, gugu..they got jealous when one kid was close to me, they wanted to outbeat each other to treat me nice *feel like queen* they gave me different lollies, gave me LOTS of attention an throughout the whole journey, I kinda feel that I could be a good kindergarten teacher.. They loved my stories. They listened to my lecture, they fought for my attention..I really enjoyed it. During resting time, my SIL's s and I were playing with a 2 yr old girl (stranger) who sat near us. My SIL's tried to ask for free food from the little gal but got rejected, even getting a stared from the little gal. Then i tried my luck, looked at her and asked for a share of her food, expected rejection too, to my surprised, she handed me her food!!! I said kindly she could have it, the little gal kept extending it to me *touched* i took it with a happy heart~~~but felt bad for stealing her food :p One thing I learned from this trip is: age is catching up with me.. I came home feeling exhausted... Most importantly, it's better to delegate your job or u would end up DEAD!! But I still love all five kids :)

online shopping part II

Another of my online shopping spree~~~i got myself a logitech webcam for RMB79 and got a free chocolate shape earphone for free~~ i love it i love it...freebie, i mean..haha...i think i'm really addicted...i'm gonna shop online again...no hassle, deliver right to your door and CHEAP!!

你快樂嗎？

我還沒看過那部電影 - “那些年”， 不過我聽說還不錯。老實說我不是太清楚內容是什麼，也只聽說是一部關於以前的生活的故事。今天，忽然想起自己的童年。為什麼這麼突然呢？想到這幾天，爸媽在國外旅行，Jennifer 趁他們不在家時打掃房子，希望他們回來時可以很舒服。還有，昨天也因為自己買了一個吸塵機而感到很高興和滿足。其實生活不就是這麼簡單嗎？就是趁現在好好的對身邊的親朋好友？不需要太復雜的人事物就可以很開心和滿足？為什麼現在的生活感覺大家都不是很快樂。。雖然有錢有權，要什麼就有什麼，但是卻不快樂。還記得小時候麥當勞和肯德基還不是那麼普遍的時候，只有過年過節和出薪水的時候才有可能吃到那香噴噴的雞腿和漢堡。那時候，我們高興的不得了。雖然現在要吃什麼，什麼時候吃都可以，可是我們快樂嗎？

記得小時候，媽媽生日，母親節或看到爸爸媽媽疲勞的時候，我們三個小的就會偷偷的商量第二天早上要比爸爸媽媽早起床來打掃房子，煮開水，把雞鴨狗貓都畏飽。看到他們驚喜和高興的模樣我們就滿足了。其實就是小小的關懷，小小的動作，小小的心意就可以讓身邊的人很開心。為什麼現在已經沒有人有時間為別人著想，為身邊的人犧牲一點點呢？為什麼我們已經不能輕易的得到滿足了呢？為什麼我們的快樂要隨著時間改變呢？

你覺得快樂容易嗎？

my vacuum cleaner

TADA~~ i got it today~~ now i can clean my place more easily..no more fuss over "flying" dust and nasty hair...yay..my place will be sparkling cleeeeeeaaaaaannnnn~~ i simply love it..small but powerful...gonna get more things from the storeeee~~~ simply love it...and most important of all..it's CHeeeaaaaapppp。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。好开心。我还蛮容易满足的。嘿嘿

My new hobby~

Recently, i have found myself to change from a 户外性的女孩 to a homely kinda-gal, 简称为宅女. After coming to Shanghai, i found myself staying at home more than when i was in HK...mayb because HK has more temptation - shopping, food etc...in Shanghai, it's kinda expensive to shop and i usually just go out for dinner and grocery shopping..BORING~ i know, but home is much nicer, much bigger than my "storeroom" in HK and i have everything i need in Shanghai (TV, computer, food etc) well, recently i found a good hobby for myself...it meets my current lifestyle because i still can be a homely kinda-gal and at the same time be the "outdoor" gal i was once been when i was in HK...it's relaxing and fun - online SHOPPING at HOME!! im addicted to online shopping these days...who knows China is such an advanced place...u can get all you need in one website..but being greedy, i got what i need in many online shopping websites!! last week, China celebrated 11/11 as Single People's day and there were HUGE discounts online...so being a typical shopper, i like bargain and surfed the web for bargain...guess what i got?

TADA~~ arent they adorable?

they are my new toys!! 8gb pendisks each..now i have 40gb for only RMB250~ isn't that a great bargain? i just ordered a vacumn cleaner online...i'm waiting for it eagerly to be delivered to me...oh, and i got a wool blanket too...lazy to take picture but it's also at 50% off...i'm gonna have a warm winter~~

birthday of the century~

HIP HIP Hooray~~ it's that time of the year again...xx yrs ago, mummy gave birth to a pair of adorable twins on 11.11...a day with great memories....baby crying sound filled the air but daddy and mummy were so happy with the birth of two healthy little babies...before we were born, doc told mummy and daddy that they were gonna have a baby with two heads...MONSTER they thought and adviced my parents to take us out...my parents didn't believe a two headed baby and went to temple....asked for peace and ask for protection ...and it turned out, we were all protected and peace was given to us and pair of angels landed. no two heads, only two small babies with curly hair~~they were touched and celebrated our birth...now, the whole world is celebrating our birthday with us...11.11.11 at 11.11am / 11.11pm is a rare number which only occur once every one century...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY~

Guess who is who? heheehe

my online shopping experience~

what's china like in your mind? cheap stuff? poor? modern? fake food? pollution? cheap labor? dirty? whatever your impression is, you never know how fast paced, fast growing china is until you actually visit or live here...after moving to shanghai, i realized how technological advanced it is...technological advanced in terms of online shopping!! it's much much more than HK!!! they have soooo many websites for online shopping and good service somemore..and cheap too..u can do grocery shopping online, buy electrical appliances online, whatever you can do of, u can get...well, after almost a yr in SHanghai, i decided to try the famous link "taobao" and after surfing millions of things they sell, i finally got myself some tops and jenn a skirt...im glad it's a successful purchase...will spend more money online next time.. ^^

the start of a terrible trip

As all of you know, i have switched from a pretended-air hostess job to a job which doesnt require me to travel anymore..yes, i agree, it was torturing in the beginning especially when i see my ex-team travelling to nice places, having nice food, stay in nice hotels and best of all, shopping and sight-seeing in different places without having to worry about how much airticket, food, transportation etc costs...all u need to worry about is whether you have enough space to take your purchases back home and whether you have enough money!! yeah, the good old times...

well, after so many months of not travelling so frequently, finally last month, i had the chance to go to Japan...ya, the place that i missed and the last time i went, it was 4 yrs ago~~something happened that made me think why i had so many travel disaster in the past...now i finally know the reason...here's how i know the reasons:

My flight was at 950am...because of how congested traffic was in Shanghai and especially on monday morning, so i decided to go at 7am...and i called taxi to come pick me up...taxi came on time....seem like a good start?! how wrong i was...the taxi driver called me and spoke to me in shanghainese..i kindly told him i didnt understand. when i got on the car, he was a formulae one driver....well...great too coz i was trying to beat the traffic!! when i arrived airport, the taxi driver didnt get off the car to help me unload my luggage like they usually do...instead, after he gave me back my change and sat there like a king. So i quickly took the money and unload my luggage by myself...it's ok, it wasnt that bad...

i arrived airport and tried to find my flight # to check in but it wasnt on the board...and i was told that i was in the wrong terminal...FYI, i checked online the night before which terminal but it didnt mention online..so i assumed it was Terminal two...now i needed to take subway to terminal one because it would take too long to Q up at taxi stand and be stuck in traffic :( looking at the brightside, there was a starbucks in T2 but not in T1...hoo hoo, my latte and bacon sandwich~~but when i was about to pay, the lady told me my RMB20 note was fake!! apalah, that was the $20 from the taxi driver !@#$%^ ..things get worse...i didnt know there was no lunch served on the plane (they only gave me 2 pieces of sushi) and i didnt know it would take that long to go to the hotel..so i ended up having lunch at 4pm...so starved...then, two days later in tokyo, i experienced the worse typhoon in Tokyo in 16 yrs and earthquake on the same day.....how lucky could i be?

so, the reason? ME, me me!!!!!

on the brightside, i got to experienced the worst disaster in Tokyo but i was well and safe. Even though i got the fake note, somehow it got spent without me knowing...

home trip

time sure flew by like rocket...my holiday in KCH just ended like tat...still remember very freshly in my mind the moment i landed KLIA and how i enjoyed my first teh C and double kaya toast at ipoh oldtown in KLIA...eventhough my holiday is now passed, i felt like i had accomplished so much in such a short time...this trip is for sure different, because i spent it wisely :) i remember the first time i went home 5 yrs ago, everyday was busy for me...meeting up with people till really late nightly and daily...mayb age is catching up with me...now i only spent quality time with people i love and know :) ahem...you know who u are...hahhaa..well, this trip, i was my mum's driver everyday...but i enjoyed every moment of it...10+ days later when i returned to Shanghai, i spent my time at ipoh oldtown in KLIA with a cup of teh C and double kaya toast....at the same seat where i sat 10+ days ago~~ :)

express food in 30 mins

Finally my long waited holiday is here again...it's national day in China and we get a week off..but as a communist country, fairness is very important..eventhough i get 5 days off, i need to work next weekend to compensate~~ which means 7 days of consecutive work days >_< anyway, i just took leave to make my holiday longer ^^

this time, i didnt bring a lot of things back..i found that there are not alot of things to buy here...i still remember the last time i brought some shanghainese tit-bits back and they werent liked, so i better save $...this time, i got my mum a machine made in CHina...九阳豆浆机 (multi-function soy bean machine)...it's like "i-phone" where every household must have one...now, my mum and jenn could enjoy a fresh, hot glass of soy bean milk in just 30 mins!! beside soy bean milk, it can make green & red bean soup, fruit juice, red dates with 5 types of rice, white fungus with red dates soup (taste kinda like bird nest) etc etc all in just 30 freaking MINS!!

this morning, i did a trial for my mum..i turn the yellow beans (without soaking) into 1 L of tasty soy bean milk...aaahhh, hot soy bean milk and the smell~~ don't u just love it? if you want some organic soy bean, drop by my place, one for 50 cents, cheap cheap

i made up my mind, i'm gonna get one when i get back to Shanghai...oh yeah, there were some little drama going on last night at the airport custom...i was unlucky enough to be asked by the custom to go through the x-ray and they found this machine and asked for duty. i told them it's used item and they insisted of taxing me...i pleaded and pleaded and explained and explained, finally, they let me go because i said they would make my mum very happy if they let me go, because this is her possession ;) aaahhh, it proves that malaysian still have kind heart :') i dono why they chose me but today, i found the reason. I went to a phone shop to get a sim card and the lady asked for my passport, but i gave her my driver's license instead...she said: "ah, i thought you are from China" (|||T_T)...is that good or bad?

Half way home

I'm in klia now waiting happily at the boarding gate. Eventhough I have to wait for 4 hrs in transit hall, I still feel sweet... Haha, I'm sure all of u know why.. If u have a happy heart and mind nothing bothers you... Well, before I went to the departure hall, I made sure I had my favorite for afternoon tea! You guessed it right, it is teh Tarik and toast from old town :) I'm so easy to predict :) in the mean time, I tried to use my time effectively by clearing today's email...in order to reduce after holiday stress and depression... And I also found this blogger app in apple store, which means I could update my blog more frequently...but out of china :) see u all very very soon Btw, I bumped into our plant general manager this morning at shanghai airport. Obviously both of us were shocked and what was even more coincidental was, i sat right behind them... Hahaha, lucky we were not doing anything we couldn't tell our mum >_<

my accomplishment in tokyo

am in tokyo this week...unfortunately this week, the weather isnt so great...it had been raining since yesterday and today, the rain became heavier because typhoon is coming...i'm sad because initially i planned to take shinkansen to go to our factory in Japan and can see mt fuji on the way there...so i woke up early and got ready only to be informed by my colleague at 615am that the trip had to be cancelled because of typhoon :( what a luck...was looking fwd to it...

anyway, abt my trip in tokyo...i arrived earlier on monday and went to shinjuku to SHOP....but this time, i didnt end up as what i usually did in the past when i travel...this time, i ended up with necessities...food, tools and gifts for our secretaries....haha...ppl change, i change..is it a sign of getting old?

TWINS

These are the typical questions Jenn and i always get:

• how does it feel to have someone who looks like you?
• Can you feel what Jenn / Jane feels? 你们的心灵相通吗？so 相通 that no need to talk, just talk with brain power and eye power?
• Two of you have same personality?

Well, i did think of these questions before....sometimes, i wonder how it feels to not have a twin? if i had a choice, would i rather not have a twin? i remember when i was small, my parents always dressed us in same clothes and everywhere we walked, people would stared at us and asked if we are twins? DUH? apa then? it was a bit annoying at first because i hated the attention and really wanted to be an individual...so we always complained about having the same thing and having to do the same thing...but as we grew older, we kinda enjoy the attention....i remember after i left home to a strange country called HK, i was all by myself...honestly, i really missed jenn....as young kids, i never had to feel alone...we were in the same class from kindergarten t0 primary 6, had same friends, went to piano lessons together, played together, learned together, fought with each other, bullied people together etc.... i remember very clearly that once we were small, we liked to play in the huge drain outside our home...we liked catching little fishes in the drain...one day, jenn fell into the big drain and couldnt climb up..she was crying and i was crying too...in the end, i decided to jump into the drain to be with her...we hugged each other and cried....after that, we decided to work together and climb out from the drain...that was a sweet memory which has been in my mind forever :)

well...today, i thought of this question again....i'm glad to have a twin sister...even though we are far apart, it just feels like i have never left her before :) and i'm glad to say that i love all my siblings because we always help each other....well...having twin is like the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me and i have to thank mum and dad for that :) i wish i would have twin forever and ever and ever~~~

Pets love

all my friends know that i am a cat lover....actually, i like dogs too and i know fish too, and i like rabbits and i love pets...it's been a while since i last have pets...it's nice to have tiger at home..really love him but i don get to see him often..he is still cute in my mind :) well, after moving to HK and shanghai, the idea of having pets did cross my mind...but i love pets so much that i rather not let them suffer because i couldnt even take care of myself properly, let alone having pets...it's commitment and responsibility...so i rather put the idea in my mind :) it's good to use imagination sometimes...

well, i think god answered my prayer...a few weeks ago, i saw a pregnant cat mummy in my home estate...initially i thought it was someone's cat...then i saw the same cat again not long ago but then this time, she was with some kittens!! oh dear, they were so cute..i wanted to play with them but mummy cat seemed to worry and was ready to scratch me if i went closer...i saw them a few times playing in the bush a few times so i concluded that they must be stray cats...oh poor kitties...and my motherly love suddenly popped up and i wanted to take care of them..so i went to the convenient store near my home and bought curry fish balls and mixed them with my mushroom rice and fed them...they were happy~~ hopefully not too spicy for them....im gonna have my own pets unofficially~~~ the thing is, sometime i dont see them around...i had a cup of fish balls in my fridge for a few days the other time and didnt see them until thursday night...MEOWWW~~~ guess what, it has become naturally to meow when i see cats...i think my neighbours think im nuts... ^^

Jane can cook

after moving to shanghai, i try to cook as much as possible at home...i didnt have a chance to do that when i was in Hk because i travelled too much and somemore, the kitchen was a lot smaller...plus, HK has far too many yummilicious food that i didnt want to waste every minute or second trying all the good food :p after moving shanghai, and after hearing so many "black-hearted" stories about food in china, i wanted to live longer and avoid hospital so better make good investment before something happened...plus, my place is near two big supermarkets and the fact that i spend much more time in shanghai and have bigger kitchen, so i wanted to fully utilise.....

didnt really have the strength to cook during week nigh

ts...coz by the time i got home, it was quite late...well, i have a strategy of my own :) i try to cook a lot of food over the weekend and eat them during week days.....gosh, after cooking for quite sometime, i really ran out of ideas of what to make...first, i made bak kuk teh, second, i made stewed pork, then pork chop, then ginger chicken, then fried bee hoon etc etc...*sweat* and still thinking...how does mum do it? well, a few days ago, i came across an old rec

ipe book i bought long long time ago...the title was "lazy bone cooking recipe"...hey, that's referring to me..so i ran thru the book and picked the easiest in the book..guess what is it? tada~~~

Steamed mushroom and asparagus rice....all i did was, soaked the mushroom, cut into small pieces, cut the asparagus..all dumped into rice cooker and added soy sauce and tada...something healthy...i added in a fried egg to add colours to the brown looking dish...next time, i will add more colours to it bit by bit...it was delicious...i think i inherited 30% of mum's talent *blush*

Thanks to "lazy bone recipe book"~~

Surprise

i'm sure all of you like to be surprised (in a good way) every now and then...well, i'm only human and i love surprises....hehehe...lately, because of some promotion and special holidays, our offices give out coupons or free gifts...because i'm always away from my desk, there are many times when i walk into my office to find something lying on my table...one day it was two free movie tickets coupons, the next are shampoo, detergent and body gel, one time it was free mooncake voucher...on Monday morning, when i first arrived, the moment i opened my door, i saw something bright blinking...huh? a box of chocolate? on a Monday morning? who put it there? how did it get here? there were many question marks on my head...all i could think of was, is this another free gift from office? oh well, don k and never mind, as long as it is free gift and i like surprise, especially on a monday morning ;p after a few hours, a colleague sent a note and said he put a box of chocolate he bought from US and put on my desk...hahaha..mystery solved...the chocolate made me hungry now... :p

My sunday morning

well, yesterday, i mentioned i went to redeem my mooncake voucher at hagan daaz...actually i wouldnt want to go through all the trouble just to redeem something..imagine the queuing and the waiting and worse of all, the crowd!! let alone it's a gift voucher from our office...but my decision changed when a colleague told me that this voucher will be put in my payroll!! so, u know me lo~~ wasting money to go all the way there twice and all the way back, luckily, the place is not far not close from my home...but still too far too walk...i decided to go on sunday morning...so this morning, i woke up early, went out for a BIG breakfast..so full!! i love the fresh orange juice...so original..unlike the orange juice at thompson's corner..it's more like orange plus lots of water...haha...so full after that...so i decided to walk to the mall....

after walking for 2 mins, i changed my mind because it was already 945am and it would take me 50mins to walk there...i made a mental calculation in my head...should i pay CNY14 or should i waste 50mins? then my instinct told me to just take taxi..so i did...by the time i reached there, there were already many aunties and uncles waiting at the entrance...the mall was still closed...there were many people "talking" (sound more like arguing in shanghainese) to me, some where banging on the entrance to ask the security guards to open the door, some where smoking in the line which i despised! so i took my book out and read...more and more people came, two ladies appeared in front of me unnoticeably...oh well, not a day to argue....i waited for quite sometime and got my gift set...tada~~

my first McD in Shanghai

last night, i wanted to collect free hagan daaz icre cream mooncake from parkson....it was a cool night and quite windy too...i like ^^ it was a bit late when i arrived parkson and was dead hungry so i went around the mall and didnt find anything i like so i decided to have McD...while sitting there having my unhealthy meal, i thought to myself, hey, this is the first McD i had during the 8 mths in shanghai...bravo bravo....i remember i used to have McD for lunch everyday when i first arrived HK...i almost vomitted after few weeks...and i also remember there was one time in perth when i had McD everyday because i wanted to collect the snoopy figurines which changed everyday~~ ahaha..i was so naive then....anyway, it was a good dinner~~

i was going round and round search for the store and only realized the taxi driver dropped me at the old parkson store in the area...btw, i would have used the search function on my iphone to locate myself but my 3G was cut when the phone company restored my phone line...hhmmm....interesting, this only happened in China...my line was cut because i didnt pay bill, when the bill was paid, i got my receive calls function back but i couldnt make any call, so i told the phone company and they restored my make calls function and now i realized my 3G was gone....why couldnt it be perfect in one go? oh well, this is china and it was my fault in the first place for not paying bill, what could i say?

anyway, i used the traditional way and asked around so i finally, i got to hagaan daaz....only to find out the redemption was closed!!

My cooking

As you all know, my mum is a fan of grocery shopping....when she was home alone in shanghai back in May, she did her best to entertain herself...i actually admired my mum's adventurous heart that she was willing to try anything and everything...related to food...when she watched cooking shows or ate something nice in the street / restaurants, she would come home and tried to imitate..i had to say, sometimes it was better, sometimes it was ok, sometimes i just hoped we went out for a meal...haha....but most of the time it was greeeeaattt~~~ i think we sorta inherited mum's talent in this area...*blush* SOMEWHAT, just to be fair to mum!! nobody beats mum's home cooked meal...anyway, yesterday, i was still trying to clear what mum bought back in may and i saw this packet of thicked noodles, so i came up with ideas of how to "get rid" of it...bought veggie, carrot, onion, chicken, eggs etc and i decided to try a bit with it...soaked the noodle in water, and turned it into fried bee hoon or kinda look like tang hoon...well..it didnt look great but it sure tasted great...hehehe....it had been my dinner tonight and gonna be my lunch tomorrow...yum

just realised something weird abt me..i remember back in kch, i didnt usually take overnight food...but somehow in shanghai, i kept taking overnight food..sometimes a week old!! of coz i put in freezer lah!! ohhhhh, ppl do chaaaaannnnggggeeee~~

a place i called "home"

After being in Shanghai for 8 months, finally i had another chance of going out of shanghai for business trip!! the last one i had was back in january for trip in Seoul...yay yay yay *clap clap* you couldnt imagine how excited i was when i first learned that i would be going to HK~~ i kinda miss HK...as my "home"...you wouldnt believe how i despised HK when i first went there!!! haha, it's been a loOoooong way...that day, when i was about to reach HK, i saw HK on the plane...a small voice in my head went..."home~~" it felt kinda nice to treat everywhere as home...im still learning..i called it home because i lived there for 5 yrs, i called it home because i began to see the good sides of it...there are many things i missed abt HK but things i could live without...kuching is still the best in my HEART :) well, it kinda felt nice to speak cantonese after so long..im glad ppl still understood me and guess what, they would start their conversation with me in mandarin~~~ hey, that's considered a prestige now :p

I didnt do a lot of things in HK...just meeting up with friends, bought some necessities and ate what i missed....now i realized how crowded HK is...gosh...i even felt like going home just after a few hours outside....i did have many good memories in hk and i'm glad HK was part of my life..without it, there wouldnt be the "me" today :) here are some the pics of what i had done in hk....btw, life is a lot of boring without the dramas in HK....pls refer to "drama in HK" section for more info :)

• above is the famous milk-tea and pork burger from the 茶餐厅

• these are evidence of what i did in hK... :p

• things are much much cheaper in hk.... i was happy to have bought the starbucks tumbler...saw it in Shanghai just now...it was 3 times more expensive than HK...on the right hand side, it is my new thermo lunch box with the works (chop stick, bag etc)...hot lunch coming up...the problem is, what to cook

it is that time of the year again

it is that time of the year again...APPRAISAL time...sigh..sometimes i wonder who invented this process because i sure hate it a lot...who says our bonus must be tied to our performance? who says we must have goals and strategies? sometimes, i think it's from someone who has nothing better to do....why? well...first, it takes time to think of goals, second, it takes time to think of comments, third, it takes time to discuss...some people cry, some people are happy, some people don't feel anything after the appraisal...well, for me, i always hate it...not just because of the 3 reasons i mentioned..but because everytime i need to appraise myself first, i somehow feel like i have not contributed much (even though i work my ass off) and that i will not have good rating :( sigh...oh well...i guess i just have to face the reality...pray for me, pleaseeeeee

my chinese accent

I went back to Kuching in May...it's been a loOOoooong time since i last went back...the last time i went back was abt a yr ago...havent been talking to my friends as frequently as i used to between now and then...and finally, thanks to technology, we are able to connect better without incurring too much oversea calls charges...hooray to skype and viber :) well, in May when i was in kuching, i was being told by my friends that my chinese accent sounds funny...it's not as smooth as kuching accent anymore...har? what? i didnt think i speak like mainland chinese but some ppl insisted i sounded like one..oh well, mayb because of some of the words i used are different...anyway, after a few days in kuching, i was 同化 and speak my chinese like native :) so i told this story to my taiwanese friends who think my chinese is crappy..they kept laughing and denying my chinese ability (@_@|||) there were reasons behind why they deny my chinese ability...look it this post abt my language usage and u will understand...haha...i admit my chinese is crappy!!!

so a few days ago, my friend in australia called me...we had a fun chat...when i first spoke a few sentence, her reaction was: hey, your chinese sounds different...your accent is not exactly mainland chinese accent but taiwanese @_@....well, i havent told my taiwanese friends yet but i could imagine, the answer would be: "your friend lives in australia and i'm sure she is not familiar with proper accent"...hahaha....hey, is my chinese accent really different?!

photos turned into memories

Just recently, i talked about how technological advanced it is these days and many ppl rely on smart phones, and i am one of them...i think my mum could remember more numbers by her heart than me...ask me and i will just be able to give you a few *feeling ashamed >_<* when i was young, i had a note book keeping all the important numbers and dates and when i grew older, i had numbers stored on phones but could still remember the dates and now, i stored all numbers and dates on phone and forget all (except some that i already knew by heart but nothing new!!) well, the other day, i thought i stored too many photos in my iphones and it's better for me to transferred them out in case i lost my phone (may be i think too much coz i didnt have anything as interesting as 陈冠x), but i still wanted to transfer them out just to clear some space...so one day, i finally turned on my desktop at home...yup, the one i bought when i first went to HK..it's still working but slower...it took me abt 1hour to make the transfer..for some reasons, i needed to do it manually one by one..sigh...eventhough it's technology, but somehow, it doesnt fit the description of advance....after a painful 1 hr, finally, i saw all the photo icons in my hard disk....so i proceeded to delete all my pictures in iphones :) i felt relieved and glad that i finally decided to do it *feeling light*

so yesterday, i wanted to use some old photos, i went to my hard disk, went into the folder called iphone backup and only to found out, the photo icons are all with 0 KB!!! what's that mean for my computer illiterate friends? it means, i deleted all photos without saving them!! i now feel like the picture below....

Oh well, look at the brightside, the physical photos might be gone, but the memories are still in my mind and heart :)

my index finger

i woke up at 8am this morning...it's gonna be a busy sunday because i will have class from 1030am to 5pm today and i wanted to make my sunday as fruitful as possible...i always like my breakfast time over the weekend coz that means i can cook something hot and have my breakfast while watching something i really enjoy...and with a cup of hot milk tea, of coz~~~ so this morning, i quickly showered, dried my hair and make my favourite...campbell mushroom soup with noodles...yum yum.

when i was trying to open the can, for some reasons, my can opener didnt work as well...and being persistent and the thought that there was already a hole in the can, i still wanted to open it...so i poked holes here and there, there and here..and the can open halfway without smooth surface...i had a thought in my mind, i know if i use my hand to open it, i would hurt myself...but i told myself to be careful if i wanted to use my hand...so i still decided to use my hand...slowly!! so, i used my hand slowly...the moment i touched the can surface...my blood stained the can...Sh*t....i was only touching it and i got cut??? anyway, it didnt diminish my will...in the end, i still had mushroom soup with noodles and a cup of hot milk tea...the problem is, there is a cut on my index finger....now i realized how important my index finger is...i cant type properly and i cant hold chopstick properly...oh well...i can only blame myself :p

just some random thoughts

感觉我好像自从搬到上海来之后，就不太有什么故事可分享的。是不是工作的性质不一样了，就没有空中飞人的故事可说啦？想想，也可能是因为我不太常出来逛，或者不太注意生活的细节啦。那天，去医院探望朋友。朋友不久前出了车祸。他的脚踏车被一辆小排辆撞到了，人飞了出来，脚被撞伤了，动了小手术。惊人的是，那22岁的小姑娘想推卸责任的说是我朋友骑车不小心，自己从脚车飞出来，脚被脚车压伤，以他无关。听起来就有点好笑。可能大家都慌啦，连借口都没什么理智。哈哈。第一次去上海的医院（从没想过要去，而且尽量避免去。。。）。。医院的环境不怎么好，让我想起在电视上看到的60年代的那种。护士不友善，环境破旧，一个房里有6个人。想当年，我在香港入院时，一房只有2张床，已经让人不能接受了。。。去完那一次，真的觉得人生无常啊。为什么这么说呐？有一个阿姨入院是因为早上不小心在自己家客厅跌伤，骨头断了。另一个阿姨是早上出来走走时，不小心踩到狗屎，滑倒的。。。真的什么事都有。小小的故事，大大的体会。。。

eeeee?好像有点负面ho?

Jane goes missing

it's been a while since i last updated my blog...it had been really busy for me...budget, month end closing and many many presentations and meeting etc...well...i thought of my friends and thought how much they would miss me, so im dropping a line or two :)

a while a go, i went back to my old posts and read them...guess what i found? actually, from old posts to new posts, you could actually tell how one person changed and how one person felt at the time....i felt in the beginning, my posts was full of fresh memories and thoughts...and sometimes very childish too..hahaha..well...and as time passed by, i found myself not as humour as before...mayb because i have been through more ups and downs...mayb i met people who changed my thoughts.....well, u tell me if u have changed or not lo :)

looking fwd to my comment box be filled up~~

mum's greatest love

Finally, after almost one year, i went back to kuching to rest...and it was really good to see everyone and ate what i missed :) mum came to Shanghai with me after my kch trip...it's actually the first time she visited when i moved to shanghai last nov :) mum stayed in shanghai for 2.5 weeks...during the first week, it was better for her coz my sister was here to accompany her...and my sis took her out for sight seeing...when my sis left, honestly, i was a bit worried about mum...i was worried coz she didnt really where i live (coz she was lazy to memorize), she didnt know how to work the spare mobile phone (coz it was a different phone than the one she normally used) and she wouldnt know where to go and how to go about...so what i did was, taught her to use the mobile phone, taught her to work the satellite tv, gave her notes on how to go home, wrote my number on a piece of paper, stuck the phone and tag to her bag just in case etc etc....well, my mum had been a good girl...she didnt go too far...luckily my place was very close to carrefour and a big HK shopping mall...well, these two places made her very happy and she visited supermarket everyday...what's the outcome? look at below~~

well, i really have no idea what are inside and she didnt know even....even 1 month after she went back to kch, i'm still clearing what are in the fridge...i just want to say to mum...mum, i love u~~im so touched that she always made sure i dont starve, always made sure i don't spend money...mum is the greatest!!

do you like your job?

Do you like your job? i'm sure all of us complain about it...be it the workload, the nature, the people, the buzi-ness, the stress, the treatment we get, the money, of coz...how could we miss that? well, we have all sort of reasons to hate or love our jobs..well...for me, when there is nothing happening, i love my job...when there are too many things happening, and when i feel stressful and feel like escaping, i'd hate it....recently, im busy with budgets, day-to-day matters, month end, adhoc meetings (which are too frequent than i'd like them to be) etc etc....everynight, i went home feeling exhausted~~sometimes, i just wish i had a job without having to use my brain cells...may be a kakak, mayb an office boy, mayb just a housewife...hiak hiak hiak...

one day, i went to our office toilet and when i opened the door of a cubicle, i saw saw something disgusting in the toilet bowl...well, obviously, someone relieved herself and made a mess of the toilet...it was really disgusting!! suddenly, i pitied the cleaner for having to clear someone's poo and urine...their "office" is surrounded by waste and weird smell...suddenly, i felt my problem has become so small and felt grateful for what i am now....

smart phone

Iphone~~the most popular "toy" in the world now....i still remember 8 yrs ago, if you don't have a phone with coloured screen, you were considered as "sua gu" and outdated...i still remember i had a nokia 8250 where the fonts were still in black and white, that, to me was already in fashion....then one fine day, i lost my nokia 8250 while i nap in the taxi and donated to the taxi driver as a gift...so i had to get a new phone...of coz i got a new phone with coloured screen and with polyphonic ringing tones...now, it was somewhere out there again...few yrs later all of these went outdated...gosh..time flies~~everyone is into smart phone now...the touch screen, cool applications, video etc etc etc...i love smart phones...why? coz they are so smart that they do auto correction for me...something that i love and hate at the same time....sigh....just look at the screen below and you know what i meant....

URINARY???? why would i want jenn's urinary, you may wonder...well...i dono either..coz i wanted her ITINERARY!!! hahaha...i couldnt stop laughing when i saw this msg....jenn must be scratching her head too..

my new toy

my new toy from kuching...that day, jenn showed me her mini radio which you could listen to radio and it could access USB too..wow, so convenient!! it's always been on my mind before i went back to kuching and also when i went to back to kuching..i was determined to get it...so, the day i left, jenn took me to the shop.....it seems the radio is quite popular...not much stock left...and i tried one, but it's not working properly and after searching up and down..finally, i got one...and in my favourite colour too :) i love you, mini radio~~

what have i done?

ooopps, i burnt my mum's pork leg soup when i was heating it up :( gosh, this is not the first time that i burnt food...in fact it was the 3rd time!!! OMG OMG...the first 2 times were in Shanghai....this time, it was my mum's cooking :( i felt bad for burning my mum's hard-cooked dish...i knew how hot the kitchen was, i knew how troublesome it was for her to buy the ingredient...i felt bad and started to reflect why this kept happening...when i started the gas, i told myself that i must remember to turn it off in 5 mins...but i didnt...and i know the root cause now...because after i turned on the gas, i went to my computer and forgot all abt it!! lessons learned!! i will not leave it unattended anymore...mum, please forgive me~~~

mum's organic veggie

mum's organic veggie... :) yummy....after being away from home for soOoooo long, i have learnt that home is still the best!!! mum loves to plant, i remember when i was young, mum has a mini farm...all she needed to do was pluck the veggie she wanna cook that day...fresh and no pesticide...after being in shanghai, i don't appreciate the nice looking veggie anymore...i preferred those with holes and even bugs!! that's how i know the veggie is good for you :) mum made a lot of home grown veggie dishes when i am home...thanks mum :) u r the best!!

pre-going home mood

i'm counting days now... 4 more days to home sweet home~~ well, i'm not sure if i should be happy that it's getting closer or if i should be sad that it is getting to finishing...life is always so difficult and has two sides...i was watching desperate housewives yesterday (yeah, im bored and i find it interesting :p), well, one episode particularly touched me....everyone knows how slutty eddie is, right? anyway, she died in this episode...before she died, everyone disliked her...and i have to admit, she did have a good body and very very sexy. that's my thought when looking at her...then in this episode, after she died, i just realized that life is really just an illusion, isnt it? one moment, i was admiring how pretty she was, how envy i was towards her body shapes, her life (coz she was always wearing nice dress and fitted in just perfect)...then one moment, she was gone (i know i took it seriously even though it was just a show)...but it struck me, isnt it the same in real life? we keep taking things for real when they don't really exist...money, fame, beauty, body shapes, belonging...they seem so important to us now, but when we die, we cant really take them with us, so why are we still hang on to these unreal things? the only reason i could think of is, we just have not realized they are not real...oh, seems a bit out of topic...hehehe... well, i also realized that life is painful no matter what...u feel painful before u go back to kuching (because u have this feeling inside wishing it could be here sooner, but still have to go through all those days before it's here)...then when the time comes, u worry that it's gonna be finished real soon and dreaded the end of the trip to come...i have a friend who shared his philosophy with us...he said, before the trip, just treat it as u have come back and u will be able to eliminate the hope and the depression before and after the trip.....hhmmm...something worth thinking...well, is it just me or what? wish to see u all soon~~

Going Home~~

It's been a LOoooong time since i last go back to Kuching...yes, i miss my bed (as if i still have it, jenn has occupied it for years!!), i miss my room (and it's also occupied by Jenn for years), i miss my parents (and they miss me too), i miss the food (and i graving for them, especially u-know-what - TEH C PENG, Laksa, BKT, Kolo mee, chicken rice, mum's home cooked food), and for sure, i miss my dear friends (not sure if they miss me)...haha... i couldnt remember the last time i went back to kuching...if my memory is correct, it should be last CNY? wow...that's pretty long ago...im sure all of u miss me sooOOooo much (>_<) After moving to shanghai last nov, this is the first time i go back to kuching from shanghai...what can i say? there's no budget airline, there's no direct flight...and flight is for sure longer and more expensive!!! sigh..what to do, i'm willing to sacrifice just for the abovementioned~~it will take me one whole day to fly~~~

well, this time, i will go back on May 13 (flight is at 10am, but i will only arrive KCH at 9pm)...taking leave just to take flight, so funny....oh well..cant complain...i just hope my flight will not be delayed...pray pray...so boys and girls, please get ready for my return and partay~~ hoo hoo

爱心水饺

these are the dumplings from my landlord...honestly, i was very very surprised when he showed up at my place last night...as always, tenants don't like to see their landlords showing up at the door coz it means trouble....it could mean the following:

1. Spot check! so if your home is in a state of hurricane, then u better beware coz you might be lectured / chased away / rental increase

2. something is broken and needs to be fixed...then he/she wants to come and verify first before he/she is willing to pay...it could be your own fault or it could be natural....so just need to know~~

the list could go on and on and on...so last night, when my landlord showed up, many things came to my mind..what does he want at this hour? what's the problem? does he want to discuss about rental? etc etc etc....then when i got down, he looked very happy to see me and told me these were handmade by him and contained natural ingredients like prawns and pork~ he did look proud of himself...of coz, i was touched *sob* *sob*...ever since i started renting 6 yrs ago, no landlord ever treated me this nice...i remember the 1st landlord refused to pay me back my HKD500 deposit because some toilet pipes was broken after i moved (fyi, in the contract, this type of repair belongs to landlord, not tenant) and they even took 6 months to pay me my deposit!! 2nd, my landlord didnt want anything to do with me.....email is much better~~ well, this landlord of mine is an older guy in his 50's...and he looks like 老粗， like some gangster from the movie....i didnt know he has soft side 温柔的一面。now i learned the word人不可貌相~~ thanks mr landlord :')

spring is here~

Spring is here~~i dont know if i should be happy that the freezing, cold winter is finally over and that summer is coming...the flowers are blooming happily and i can see cherry blossoms along the road...it's very good for early morning walk in such weather like this...but the thought of heat in Shanghai, the dust etc makes me dread summer...last time in HK, it is still ok for me...eventhough it is hot and humid in HK, it's mainly air conditioned everywhere that i don't even feel like summer is that long...

it will be my first summer in Shanghai...but my previous experience told me, shanghai's summer is like hell...so...i know what im going to expect soon~~~ wish me luck...i know my friends from kuching will go, what the, it's hot 365 days, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week there..what am i complaining abt? well, try 40'C+++ everyday and you will know what i'm talking abt... :(

My love for weekend

I love weekend~~~i have no reasons to hate it...i can give you thousands of reasons as to why...here are the main ones...it means:

1. i can sleep late the night before

2. i can sleep in

3. i can clean my pig sty place into tidy and homey place

4. i get to do my weekly exercise - ie taking early walk to the supermarket, enjoying the fresh air and no crowd :)

5. i get to watch shows in the morning while having my breakfast and a cup of coffee / milk tea

6. resting at home

7. go out and explore~~~

8. make dishes for the week (my lunches and dinners for the next few days~~)

the list can go on and on...here's what i made last weekend~~ yummy

coffee, tea or me?

it was a cold, , windy and rainy monday...woke up at 930am simply because it was holiday~~ went out and had a cup of coffee at starbucks ("SB") because the shop we wanted to visit was not open...after 30mins of 泡咖啡 there, we continue to walk to another place to do some chore...after lunch, we got nothing better to do coz it was rainy..wanted to visit flower expo but too wet...so, we decided to 泡more咖啡....we were at SB for 4 hours!! it was kinda relaxing, i always like the atmosphere in sb...i saw ppl gathering there, chit chatting happily..some were gossiping, some sat there quietly with a magazine / computer in front of them, some with their homework...they even have study tables for students!! how thoughtful :) after 4 hours, we decided to make a move...need to move our butt a bit....but, a friend called to say wanna eat something..so we went to another coffee shop next to SB...wow....i called that day 泡咖啡厅day...hehehe...it feels kinda good to do nothing sometimes....even just have ur mind blank and just feel what you have at that time...arent we always too busy to smell the flower that we don't even notice its existence...or we notice but never know how it smells like....we need to slow down...mentally

curly vs straight hair

I had curly hair since 2004 and year over year, i permed my hair so that i could stay in shape...imagine the long hours i had to sit up straight while waiting for people to "play" with my hair...honestly, that was painful coz my neck was sore, my butt was sore and my tummy always calling out for me to feed her~~ 8 HOURS per perm...crap, i just spent my valuable time like that?! well, finally, i changed my hair style from curly to straight hair...before the change, i kept having this impression that i wouldnt look good in straight hair...i felt that i'd look like ah sam...why? once upon a time, i had my hair straighten in kuching and turned out, i looked more like simba and village girl than fashionable young lady!!! so, i have 阴影。。。abt 6 mths ago, a hairdresser just changed my impression and now, i'm enjoying all the compliments and for sure, no need to spend money on gel, mousse and time blow-dry it the way i way it (in fact, i wasnt a good one when i had curly hair..so what's the difference?!) hahaha...

let's take a vote...you like me in curly hair or straight hair?

• This is my puffy, curly, long hair before the change....

• this is my long, straight hair....kinda look like 贞子 right now...ooopppsss

i'm loving it~

this is a McCafe coffee~~i am into coffee these days...my coffee loves me too~~~~

good things must share

A good passage to share with my friends~~ hope this cheers you up and gives you good input to your life~~ :) enjoy~~

提昇人品

1. 需要的不多，想要的太多。 2. 知恩報恩為先，利人便是利己。 3. 盡心盡力第一，不爭你我多少。 4. 慈悲沒有敵人，智慧不起煩惱。 5. 忙人時間最多，勤勞健康最好。 6. 布施的人有福，行善的人快樂。 7. 心量要大，自我要小。 8. 要能放下，才能提起。提放自如，是自在人。 9. 識人識己識進退，時時身心平安；知福惜福多培福，處處廣結善緣。 10. 提得起放得下，年年吉祥如意；用智慧種福田，日日都是好日。 11. 身心常放鬆，逢人面帶笑；放鬆能使我們身心健康，帶笑容易增進彼此友誼。 12. 話到口邊想一想，講話之前慢半拍。不是不說，而是要惜言慎語。 13. 在生活中，不妨養成「能有，很好；沒有，也沒關係」的想法，便能轉苦為樂，便會比較自在了。 14. 四安：安心、安身、安家、安業。 15. 四要：需要、想要、能要、該要。 16. 四感：感恩、感謝、感化、感動。 17. 四它：面對它、接受它、處理它、放下它。 18. 四福：知福、惜福、培福、種福。 19. 能要、該要的才要；不能要、不該要的絕對不要。 20. 感恩能使我們成長，報恩能助我們成就。 21. 感謝給我們機會，順境、逆境皆是恩人。 22. 遇到好事，要隨喜、讚歎、鼓勵，並且虛心學習。 23. 少批評、多讚美，是避免造口業的好方法。 24. 平常心就是最自在、最愉快的心。 25. 踏實地走一步路，勝過說一百句空洞的漂亮語。 26. 知道自己的缺點愈多，成長的速度愈快，對自己的信心也就愈堅定。 27. 多聽多看少說話，快手快腳慢用錢。 28. 唯有體驗了艱苦的境遇，才會有精進奮發的心。 29. 踏踏實實做人，心胸要廣大；穩穩當當做事，著眼宜深遠。

享受工作

30. 忙而不亂，累而不疲。 31. 忙得快樂，累得歡喜。 32. 「忙」沒關係，不「煩」就好。 33. 工作要趕不要急，身心要鬆不要緊。 34. 應該忙中有序的趕工作，不要緊張兮兮的搶時間。 35. 不要以富貴貧賤論成敗得失，只要能盡心盡力來自利利人。 36. 任勞者必堪任怨，任事者必遭批評。怨言之下有慈忍，批評之中藏金玉。 37. 隨遇而安，隨緣奉獻。 38. 成功的三部曲是：隨順因緣、把握因緣、創造因緣。 39. 見有機緣宜把握，沒有機緣要營造，機緣未熟不強求。 40. 人生的起起落落，都是成長的經驗。 41. 用智慧處理事，以慈悲關懷人。 42. 以智慧時時修正偏差，以慈悲處處給人方便。 43. 慈悲心愈重，智慧愈高，煩惱也就愈少。 44. 面對許多的情況，只管用智慧處理事，以慈悲對待人，而不擔心自己的利害得失，就不會有煩惱了。 45. 心隨境轉是凡夫；境隨心轉是聖賢。 46. 大鴨游出大路，小鴨游出小路，不游就沒有路。 47. 山不轉路轉，路不轉人轉，人不轉心轉。 48. 「精進」不等於拼命，而是努力不懈。 49. 船過水無痕，鳥飛不留影，成敗得失都不會引起心情的波動，那就是自在解脫的大智慧。 50. 給人方便等於給自己方便。 51. 甘願吃明虧，是仁者；受辱吃暗虧，是愚蠢。 52. 壓力通常來自對身外事物過於在意，同時也過於在意他人的評斷。 53. 用感恩的心、用報恩的心，來做服務的工作，便不會感到倦怠與疲累。 54. 隨時隨地心存感激，以財力、體力、智慧、心力、來做一切的奉獻。

平安人生

55. 生命的意義是為了服務，生活的價值是為了奉獻。 56. 人生的目標，是來受報、還願、發願的。 57. 人的價值，不在壽命的長短，而在貢獻的大小。 58. 過去已成虛幻，未來尚是夢想，把握現在最重要。 59. 不用牽掛過去，不必擔心未來，踏實於現在，就與過去和未來同在。 60. 智慧，不是知識、不是經驗、不是思辯，而是超越自我中心的態度。 61. 積極人生，謙虛滿分；自我愈大，不安愈多。 62. 上等人安心於道，中等人安心於事，下等人安心於名利物欲。 63. 你是有哪些身分的人，就應該做那些身分的事。 64. 在安定和諧中，把握精彩的今天，走出新鮮的明天。 65. 擔心，是多餘的折磨；用心，是安全的動力。 66. 財富如流水，布施如挖井。井愈深，水愈多；布施的愈多，財富則愈大。 67. 面對生活，要有「最好的準備，最壞的打算」。 68. 只要還有一口呼吸在，就有無限的希望，就是最大的財富。 69. 救苦救難的是菩薩，受苦受難的是大菩薩。 70. 超越生老病苦三原則：活得快樂、病得健康、老得有希望。 71. 超越死亡三原則：不要尋死、不要怕死、不要等死。 72. 死亡不是喜事，也不是喪事，而是一件莊嚴的佛事。 73. 每一個孩子，都是幫助父母成長的小菩薩。 74. 對青少年，要關心不要擔心，要誘導不要控制，用商量不用權威。 75. 愛你的孩子，與其擔心，不如祝福吧！ 76. 夫妻是倫理的關係，不是「論理」的關係。 77. 能不亂丟垃圾，隨時清撿垃圾，都是做的功德。 78. 眼光，是你的智慧；運氣，是你的福德。 79. 喜愛的就想佔有，討厭的就會排斥，患得患失，煩惱就來了。 80. 經常少欲知足的人，才是無虞匱乏的富人。 81. 心不平安是真正的苦，身體的病痛不一定是苦。 82. 明知心不平安是苦事，就趕快以持念「南無觀世音菩薩」來安心吧！ 83. 現在擁有的，就是最好的。擁有再多也無法滿足，就等於是窮人。 84. 不要用壓抑來控制情緒，最好用觀想、用佛號、用祈禱，來化解情緒。

幸福人間

85. 好話大家說，好事大家做，好運大家轉。 86. 大家說好話，大家做好事，大家轉好運。 87. 每人每天多說一句好話，多做一件好事，所有小小的好，就會成為一個大大的好。 88. 急須要做，正要人做的事，我來吧！ 89. 我和人和，心和口和，歡歡喜喜有幸福。 90. 內和外和，因和緣和，平平安安真自在。 91. 自求心安就有平安，關懷他人就有幸福。 92. 人品等於財富，奉獻等於積蓄。 93. 奉獻即是修行，安心即是成就。 94. 擁有的多，不一定讓人滿足；擁有的少，不一定讓人貧乏。 95. 現在所得的，是過去所造的；未來所得的，是現在所做的。 96. 好人不寂寞，善人最快樂，時時處處助人利己，時時處處你最幸福。 97. 若希望人際關係相處得好，就要把心量放大，多接納人，多包容人。 98. 只要自己的心態改變，環境也會跟著改變，世界上沒有絕對的好與壞。 99. 人與人之間的相處之道，需要溝通，溝通不成則妥協，妥協不成時，你就原諒和容忍他吧。 100. 大的要包容小的，小的要諒解大的。 101. 以全心全力關懷家庭，用整體生命投入事業。 102. 戒貪最好的方法，就是多布施、多奉獻、多與人分享。 103. 包容別人時，雙方的問題就解決了。 104. 學佛的人，有兩大任務：莊嚴國土，成熟眾生。 105. 要做無底的垃圾桶，要學無塵的反射鏡。 106. 煩惱消歸自心就有智慧，利益分享他人便是慈悲。 107. 用慚愧心看自己，用感恩心看世界。 108. 淨化人心，少欲知足，淨化社會，關懷他人。
