Song Sharing Sunday #255 - People Like Us ~ Kelly Clarkson

This week is a very rewarding week for me......
Not that things happen to me....
Rather it was good news which my 4 friends shared with me.....

A friend who struggled parenting alone in a foreign land, has finally found the power to overcome the odds.
A friend who struggled with a broken marriage, finds confidence in love once again.
A friend who almost lost hope when the doctor sent bad news, is seeing hope now.
A friend who was in great financial difficulty, finally emerged from the heavy burden and could once again feel the breath of stress-free air.

I was there with them when things seemed like they were going down in flames.
It was a treacherous journey.
I was glad they brought me along.
That's what friends are for, isn't?

When they celebrate, my heart is filled with happiness for them too.

As for those of you who are still trying to find that gleam of chance for things to turn-around, I hope this song will give you encouragement for the new year.

Let the sorrows in 2013 be gone when 1st January 2014 comes.
Let the tears shed in 2013 be dried when everyone says "Happy New Year!"

So chin up now!
You are stronger than you think.
You will pull through............

Song Sharing Sunday #253 - Story of My Life ~ One Direction

Watched the latest 2 episodes of a Hong Kong drama over the past 2 days and it dawn onto me that there is greater meaning to what Life is.
When I am gone,
how would people remember me as?
what impact did I leave?
..........what was the story of my life.........?

Perspective - What Do You See?


Let's have some fun.



What do you see in the picture above?
An old woman on the left and Two friends smiling and chatting with each other on the right?
Well, you are right.

However........................



How you live your life is all about your perspective.
How you see every situation.

Remember, there is always 2 sides to a coin.
Standing on one side alone, will not help you to see the full picture.
Always need to put yourself on the other side and view from a different angle too.

This is something that I constantly remind myself to do.
It helps me to calm my anger.
Reduces my fears.
And eventually enables me to make wiser decisions.





Alright, let me rotate that SAME PICTURE above.
Now, what do you see?



 Two people quarreling on the left and a young lady on the right?
Yup!

All it takes is a tiny effort and a little more time to look at something differently, yet it makes a world of a difference.
*smile*

Song Sharing Sunday #252 - Let It Go ~ Idina Menzel

Went to watch the movie "Frozen" on 3rd December.
I TOTALLY RECOMMEND this amazing movie to all!
There were so many meaningful messages inside:
Family Love
Siblings Love
What is True Love
What Fear can do to anyone
What Trust and Belief can change all things
and not forgetting....
Positivity, fully displayed by Olaf, the cutest snowman I had seen!
(I shared Olaf's hilarious song on my parenting blog HERE.)


I LOVE ALL THE SONGS in the movie!
Especially........:
  • Do you want to build a Snowman
  • First Time in Forever
  • Love is an Open Door
  • Fixer Upper
But my favourite among the FAVOURITES had to be "Let It Go" sung by Idina Menzel.
When Idina Menzel sang it, I felt my heart singing it too.
Some things are just so tightly locked in my heart that really needs to let them go.....only then can I be free and be who I truly am.........

Demi Lovato also sang "Let It Go" for FROZEN, but I prefer Idina Menzel's version.
Listen to both below and tell me if your preference is the same as mine?
*wink*

Fear is NOT Real

"Fear is not real.
The only place that fear can exist
 is in our thoughts of the future.
It is a product of our imagination,
causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist.
That is near insanity Kitai.
Do not misunderstand me,
danger is very real,
but fear is a choice.
We are all telling ourselves a story and that day mine changed"

~Cypher Raige, from the movie "After Earth"


Had been feeling lost in recent months, over several different things.
Watched the DVD of "After Earth" today and his words struck me like a lightning.

It was the story that I had been creating in my own mind, about the future, about what MAY come, that is giving me the sense of lost, the sense of fear.

ITS TIME....TO CHANGE THAT STORY!
This time, it shall be.....
A Story Of HOPE!

Since its all in my head, I should create a story that is worth living for.... than a story that gives me the negative vibes the whole time.
Since we have to live this life anyway.....why not live with happy thoughts in the head, than fearful ones.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Cheers!

Your True Aura Colour - Personality Test



I love to do personality tests every now and then, but I hardly post the results.
This is THE ONE test that gives me the big push to login to my blog.
'Cos the result is so So SO ACCURATE!

Oh Well, that's how I feel.
Maybe I should ask the people around me..... 
IS THIS ME (to you)????!!!


Blue
Your Aura is Blue!
Personality: Blue’s are very loyal and can be the truest friend any aura could hope to find. On the inside, blues tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that other auras depend on you, so you put on a strong front. 
They tend to live a quiet but enriching life. Blues are very giving of them and is hard to let go of relationships. They believe the key to living a good life is simple: Be as honest with yourselves and others as possible. They value the truth over everything else. Blue will remain loyal to those who are honest with them, even if their honesty hurts. 
Compared to most other auras, blues handle the truth very well. They take every event into stride. Blues are the calm spot in a sea of chaos. They think that the solution to most problems is open communication; they wish that people would be more real with each other. 
A Blue personality uses its five physical senses to access information. An emotionally driven personality, you need to be liked and accepted. It is one of the "needs" that can cause apprehension in your personality. 
You are a polite, cooperative person who seeks to create conflict-free surroundings. You possess highly developed powers of observation. Family is important to you and you sometimes find yourself in the role of being a caretaker.  
You are conservative, reliable and trustworthy - you are quite trusting of others although you are very wary in the beginning until you are sure of the other person. You are not impulsive- you always think before you speak and act and do everything at your own pace in your own time. 
You take time to process and share your feelings. You are genuine and sincere, and you take your responsibilities seriously. You have a deep need for peace and harmony in your everyday life. You appear to be confident and self-controlled, but may be hiding your vulnerable side. 
You are generally fairly even-tempered, unless your emotions take over - then you can become either moody and over-emotional, or cool and indifferent. You are sensitive to the needs of others. 
While you are friendly and sociable, you prefer the company of your own close group of friends. You are a rescuer and love to be needed. You can be rigid - you like to stick to what is familiar to you- you stubbornly do things your way even if there is a better way. 
Untidiness and unpredictability overwhelm you. You don't like to draw attention to yourself. While you don't like to have discord or conflict in your life, you are often the cause of conflict with others; you can be quite manipulative but in a very subtle way.
 
You make a loyal and faithful marriage partner and you are an honest, trustworthy and sincere friend. You are aware of others feelings and sensitive to the moods of others. You are approachable and friendly, always making people feel welcome in your life. 
You have a thirst for knowledge in order to gain wisdom and appear knowledgeable in whatever area interests you. You can be too cautious and worry about every little thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love Life: Relationships are your top priority, and this includes love. You are most happy when you are serious with someone.

Song Sharing Sunday #251 - 《OnCall36小時》主題曲 part I & II

This week is going to be a very special week.
For the first time, unless my memory fails me again, I am sharing a Cantonese song.
Ooops!
Correction, its TWO Cantonese songs!

I am NOT the chase-after-drama kind of person.
Yet, by chance I happened to watch 《OnCall36小時》, a Cantonese Drama, last year and fell in love with it.

Recently, 《OnCall36小時 II》 was launched and hubby managed to find a link whereby we can watch it 'first hand' each time every episode is released in the weekdays.
We watched it whenever we have time to spare.
I called it "Our Little Drama Date"
*giggle* A little romance added to our married life.

Love BOTH the theme songs because I am BIAS!
*LAUGH*
I love songs with Piano Prelude.
Gets me in the Right Mood.....the relax mood to quieten down my ever-so-busy-mind that works like a 24 hour expressway.

Enjoy!
