The Last Lecture from Randy Pausch

I've finished reading this book. And I would really recommend it to everybody. The word used is simple and easy to understand. Easily you will be going through a few chapters without knowing. Randy Pausch really keep it simple for the readers. The most important thing is, what he shared with the readers.

He's a professor in Carnegie Mellon Uni and is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His doctor told him that he would have 6 healthy months if he's lucky. This would be the saddest thing to accept and yet he took the chance to hold this presentation - The Last Lecture.

He talked about his childhood dreams, doubts that anyone of us would have faced, the life and the right attitude towards anything in life. I think I would not be able to describe how inspiring and how I've changed my thoughts over certain things, but one thing for sure, it has affected me in such a positive way.

Life is short that you might not even realised that you did not appreciate the gift, which is time. "Stupidly", I always reminded myself yet I admit that you and I do sometimes let it slips away too, right? But the most important thing is, we have the courage to take the effort to make things better. :)

To myself and everyone that I care about,
Take away the ego, cause it's not going to do any good.

Appreciate life, cause that's what we have at the present.

When you feel your life has no meaning, think about people who struggles to survive.

When you're giving up yourself, think about the people who never give up on you.

Take away the negative thoughts, cause it's not going to do any good.

Love yourself, cause that's how you pass the love to others.

When you feel troubled, put the trouble in the trouble bucket. Cause it will only pulls you down. Switch your attention to something you like. Only conquer it when your mood bar has gone green.

Be happy, cause that's what makes the world beautiful.
Cheers!

Nostalgic

I guess I would consider myself a little bit nostalgic. Are you? Sometimes you just heard a song, read a book, saw a photo and suddenly it seemed to have taken you back to some place, some time or some moments. It might be something that make you laugh, make you feel sad, or make you feel so happy that you wish that you can go back once again. But what we can do is, sharing the happiness, the story with someone. :)

Thai songs, they got me nostalgic. :P

Don't worry if you get nostalgic over something. At least it proves something. You're still remembering things.
You have been through time of your life.

不一定

昨天吃午饭的时候，朋友说到“一定”这个话题。之后我们就说到“世事无绝对”。
还记得还在读书的时候，有好多时候，都会用到“一定”这字眼。
出来工作了，发现原来好多事情，是不一定的呢。有好多事情，都谈不上 Absolute.
在这里，我指的不是挑战法律的事情。

出来工作的也谈不上长，但是也看过及体会过一些事。有时候，并不是你不想让它变得“不一定”，而你在不同的阶段，不同的情况，身在其中的你会对某些事做适当的调整。
不是说你失去坚持，而是时代的改变，年龄的增长，经过的每件事，让你对某些事也可能会改观。

不一定每件事都要一个解释
不一定天堂里住着一位天使
不一定要大哭才能诉说心事
不一定小心翼翼就不会走失
不一定某件事都有某个方式
不一定他就是你的白马王子
不一定要无聊才一直看电视
（戴佩妮 - 不一定）

Orangie

Three little kittens. Orangie, Blackie, Stripie. They were the newborns of my neighbour's cat. Have been waiting for the moments to be able to take some close up pictures of them. They have grown up so fast. These are the moments to be able to play around with them. Wait till they are big, they will no longer that active. Just managed to capture photos of orangie, as it seems to be more active than the other two. The look that he gave was so cool, as if he knew how to pose like the models.
