I've been searching for a book that can make me feel content, happy, and has guidance to a better me. My friend gave me this book two years ago as my Christmas present. Didn't get to read it until lately, coz I was searching for a motivational book. The bookstores had recommended this book and many people had said that it's a good book, so I gave it a try.
When i first read it, I felt that it is somehow different from other materials that you can see online, books or any references that teach you to be happy. Most of them will ask you to find a talent, hang out with friends, don't stay bored, bla bla bla... this book has taught me a very different perspective since the first chapter already! I wanted happiness, I don't want to stay moody, get angry for no reason and feeling lifeless and bored. This book has taught me to LIST and LOVE everything that I like, even the qualities of people that i like! and you must really feel LOVE for that. after that, keep feeling the frequency and leave those things and people that make you produce bad feelingfar far away. what it means by far far away is that you give no feeling towards it, not hatred, jealousy or anything - NOTHING. just remember, good things attract good things;and bad things attract bad things.
i would recommend this book to my friends if they feel like reading a book concerning happiness. i think it doesn't only make you a better person, it also indirectly teaches you to love your body as good feelings need to come from good mind, good words, good deed, and of course, good body. to those who already read the book, keep applying what it teaches and have a good life, wait, a very very good life! :)
i wonder why people say that Christmas eve is a silent night. but, it is not at all as we were all so loud and you could heard our voices on the street! so, finally after a weekend of holidays, finally it is Christmas! as usual, every Christmas eve i'll have dinner with my family and relatives in my aunty's house. and she will cook a lotttttt of nice food to serve us. everyone was busy on that day, some busy setting up the living room and dining table, some were busy cooking at the kitchen, and some were busy wrapping Christmas gift (you know, everyone loves to be santa =D ) after all the work, the Christmas eve party has finally begun. everyone was already hungry, so talk less eat more hehehehe
we had many food on that night, like turkey, speghetti bolognaise specially made by my aunt, nasi briyani, salad and many more. yum yum yum! oh ya and not to forget wines wines wines! every year people will buy red wines and we'll all try them.
a very big Gingerbreadman. bought from a hotel. it's very hard and spicy!
how can you forget me?? i'm the cutest kid in the family.
our Christmas trees and the presents.... they filled up the under tree.
beautiful gingerbreadhouse.
after all the dinner and talking, present-giving time was earlier this year. we all get our presents around 10p.m. usually, the whole living room will be very crowded as we will swarm to get our presents near the tree.
trying their christmas gift. so happy!!
this is cassandra with allllllll her presents.
angry face. why do we still get angry birds as a present at this age? >.< hahaha
i love having gatherings like this at my relative's house every christmas. good food, good feeling and we all get presents! and it's the time where cousins meet, for my family. hmm, it's late, so we ended our christmas eve by going to The Library for beers. only for 18 above of course. hehehe. Happy Christmas!
i just saw this video few days ago. i like it very much. these girls have very nice voice and the song sounds just as sweeeeet as them :) of course! they're Jayesslee.
i'm a BIG fan of Jayesslee hehehe...
ok so, Christmas trees, sales, and songs are up everywhere. some churches have been doing events to celebrate it earlier. yesterday morning, i went to the City Harvest Church KL with Ginny, Angela, and Adeline to watch their Christmas production. i don't really know what is that, but i guessed it's a drama kind of thing since Angela acted in a drama in her church last year. it is called CHROMEHEART. after all the singing and praising parts, it's finally the time for the "production"! haha vampires swarmed in the place from everywhere, and they started giving out annoying sounds. soldiers holding their bows and arrows preparing to shoot them. villagers were dancing and singing in the drama. there are still soooo many characters in the drama but most importantly, it was just because of the stone that gives forever life to anyone that has it. the drama was really good, and out of my expectation! i was quite interested with their behind-the-scenes, so i pre-ordered their DVD.
photo taken from the City Harvest Church KL Facebook page. these are the casts.
after that, we went to Taylor's Lakeside Campus to have lunch.
oh ya, i was supposed to help my cousin out with the last batch of Gingerbread man baking. but, she finished it early, so finally!!!! the shop is closed now. i could only say, the baking process is really tiring. not even sure whether we are getting profit but hopefully everyone that buys it from us like it and buy again next year.
ok back to church. after lunch, Ginny said she wanted to donate blood. and Adeline donated too. but her veins was too small so the nurses stop her from donating that day anymore coz her arm was swollen. unlike Ginny, her blood filled up the whole packet in just 15mins!!! my gosh!! that's like water flowing. then, i drove them back coz they were tired.
the left 1 is Adeline - the birthday girl as well
the right 1 is Ginny - the girl that wanted to donate blood for the 1st time so badly hehehe
it's nearly 5 p.m. and i promised my cousin to go to another church's event with her. the event is called "NowIsee". they were all so excited on the buses but i'm already a bit tired. we have to sing too in the bus. and introduce ourselves. but i was just too tired. it was held in New Era College in Kajang. they had a lot of dances, songs, drama, fashion show, and gifts to give out. my cousin get 1 extra gift for answering their question correctly :) i was really tired, so i couldn't enjoy much of the show. plus, sometimes i don't really understand coz my mandarin is not very good. it's a mandarin-speaking event. the event finished around 11p.m. and we reached Kota Damansara about 12 midnight. when i went home, i just had some hot drinks and slept until today's noon. but overall, the 2 events i went makes me happy and WHHOOAAA although i'm tired.
sing songs to praise the god. can you see Daniel Lee the 2nd Malaysian idol playing the guitar?
haha, and i saw this when i was standing up.
so, that's all for the Pre-Christmas Celebrations! God Bless!
hmm i'm actually halfway revising for my final examination, but i was too bored. so i stop for awhile and write about what i see this week. firstly, it's study time. haha it sounds a bit impossible but yes, i studied in Secret Recipe. they have nice environment and i get to eat my favorite moist chocolate cake as well. 2 in 1, so why not? :)
i was trying to stretch myself so i lied back on the sofa and look up, such a beautiful lighting they have!
so, last weeks' exams end on Tuesday. i went home after that to do my assignments at home. LOVE going home very much, because the washrooms in my hostel are being renovated. i couldn't get to bathe with hot water, so i caught flu until today. i really dislike bathing with cold water! so COLD~~~ on weekend, of course it's a shopping day! Chinese new year is coming and SALE is everywhere. i decided to go KL with my roommates to see what we can get for ourselves. (and to see the christmas decoration as well). it sounds silly but i just enjoy going to malls and take pictures of their decorations every year.
the girls were dancing salsa with their santa claus' hat, so cute! - Sg Wang Plaza
the biiigggg xmas tree surrounded with biiiiggg present boxes - Berjaya Times Square
of course, not to forget me! :)
well, shopping the whole day was really tired. walk from malls to malls. but think of buying clothes for chinese new year and xmas presents ! our legs become stronger when we thought of shopping. hahaha... not to say that we are shopaholics, but the feeling of buying things during sale is really fun, and it saves us a lot of money.
the next day, i went to bake gingerbreadmen with my cousins again. this time, we gotta back about 250 pieces. i was really shocked. but, we didn't get to finish baking it too as it takes too long. so we managed to bake about 150. i gave out those who had ordered with me since last night, and i was really happy that they said it is nice! some even order extra today!! i'm so glad to see people happily eating our gingerbreadmen :)))
okayy, it's 2a.m. now. and i supposed to sleep and study again tomorrow. so, i'm gonna stop here and good night!
