At this time of the day, middle of the night,
Feeling hungry...
Though it gives me a thought, maybe I should upload some photos..
Photos of something I like doing apart from being a nurse, which is cooking...
Well, basically it is just something I enjoy, and still learning on the way..
Trial of Chocolate coated cherry  trifle, and  it was not  bad  ^^


Chocolate cherry cupcake, which one of my friend always ask me  for more...

Gateau Napolean, looks a bit rustic, but  there's always one of my friends favourite.

Chocolate Orange Meringue Cake, for one of the  gathering ...

Another year has passed.
Dragon year almost finished and The year of Snake is just around the corner.
And, always this time of the year, I will get super homesick as I miss the younger days,
That I celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with my family, go house to house visiting,
And of course collecting red packets, as a best wishes from our family, relatives and friends.

Well, having to celebrate Chinese New Year by my own,
I learnt how to make Chinese New Year dishes and little snacks and treats.
There's something called BBQ pork or as Chinese people say "long yuk"..
Well, I tried asking and seeking opinion from lots of people,
So I finally tried it today, and of course, nothing taste better like what I had for the pass 20 years.
Sometimes, makes me wonder, something can never be replace and something will always stay as our memory and it will be cherished as long as we live.
Playing Chinese New Year songs in my computer makes me thinking of the atmosphere in my country.

Well, what we always do, the day before CNY, have a family reunion dinner, and go for late night market to get all the things for CNY. And after that, the most exciting part, is to go over my grandparents house to stay for 5 days of CNY, and all my cousins will be there, and that is why CNY is one of my most looking forward festive.

All this thing makes me realize, if something broken, you can easily fix or buy a new one to replace.
But things like memory and the taste that you once had during childhood, will never be able to replace.
I like Chinese dumplings a lot. I remember one of my auntie is very good in making those,
And I will never forget how it taste. Although now I might not be able to taste it anymore,
I will always remember.

Well, looking forward to the Year of Snake..
Hopefully its a good year for me and to others too ^^

Hey peeps,
Last hour of 2012.
How's your day been?
I had a tough year.
Gone through tunnels, up in the air and also down to the sea,
which I'm glad and proud of myself that I survived.
Achieve lots and fail to achieve.
Well, guess what people, 2013 is here, which is time for me to continue to achieve what's left.

New year wish,
Which is simple,
Be a better nurse, improve myself,
possible to study more,
stay happy, stay strong while going through tough times.

2013,
New year, new life,new page,
wonder what will I write on the new page?
Have a good new year ahead everyone ^^

Well people,
It has been awhile I last updated my blog.
As everyone in the world was saying,
The world is going to end and non of the human being will survive.
Here we are,
still survive, still have to work, still have bills to pay and life still goes on.
So, be happy, because at this time of the year, its time for sharing and caring to others.

I grow up in a Buddhist and Christian family.
I celebrate Christmas as a festive season.
Like any other household, I still have my Christmas tree,
wrapped presents are under the Christmas tree,
Thank you my dearest uncle for the lovely childhood memory which I much cherished till now.

Other than Christmas just days to go,
I also did something today, which I haven experience before.
Well, went out with one of my client,
and I do appreciate the other nurse who come along.

Happiness is just something simple and easy to achieve.
My client look so satisfied after fried chicken strips and a beer,
which not often seen in many rich people.

Happiness is,
not having toothache today,
not feeling sick,
its just having sweets.
Many billionaire always says" money can buy happiness".
And in the real world is, money can buy everything in the world,
BUT happiness. Maybe a there's heaps of people out there will disagree with me.
My happiness is just simply a little space for me to read my books, with my music, accompany by cup of tea.
I know it sounds very old fashion,but this is what happiness is.
Keep things simple and you will find happiness.

By the way, have a blessed and Merry Christmas to everyone out there.
Stay safe ^^

谣言止于智者,人言可畏,
欲加之罪,何患无辞?

这几句谚语,每天都会在电视剧里听见。
当你听见别人再讲的时候,
你会说别人老土。
可是,如果这几句话在现实生活中上演,
你又会如何处理得妥当呢?
是否继续把谣言传,还是尝试当个智者?

谣言本来就不会遇见智者,
人的嘴巴本来很美,笑起来,就会带给别人温暖。
可是,嘴巴说出来的话,是否还能带给别人温暖呢?
当以上的三句加起来,就算你坦荡荡的,
比清水还要清,也会被越描越黑,百辞莫辩。

如果嘴巴不能选择词语来表达,
不能说好话,那沉默就是金。
所有智者的你们,
是否有问问自己,如何分辨谣言是否真与假?是否是褒义或贬义的批评?
是否让自己的耳朵选择什么应该听?什么不应该听?
是不是从别人身上听回来就是真?还是以自己的眼睛为标准?
是不是能够分辨与接受别人所谓的批评?
不是每个人可以接受批评。不是每个人肯听实话。
因为接受批评需要勇气,从批评中学习需要智慧。


There was once,
one of my colleague told me,
" If you can't say something good, don't say it at all. "
Well, it is so true. Why say something where you know you will hurt someone's feeling,
where you know you will have to pay the consequences later?
And when everyone is discussing what you have just said hurt people's feeling,
and here comes rumours.
And this will change how others see you.
You might be a very good person, good and caring nurse,
good attitude, however, when rumours hits you,
what can you do about it?
And it spread like lighting, quicker than you thought. 
And you start to explain yourself to the world, 
where no one remembers, you were once,
have a good attitude,
you are a good person,
how good were you caring for others.
Doesn't matter how many good things you done in the past.
" Accept Criticism takes courage, need wisdom to learn from criticism. "

So, lesson learnt,
When you can't say something good, and if you know it will hurt other people's feeling,
just choose what your words. Remember, sometimes, 
silent is golden.

Understanding is something that takes time,
However, it is also the hardest thing to achieve too...

When someone understands you,
You don't have to say anything,
You don't have to explain how you feel.
They just need to sit beside you,
offer their shoulder, and give you a warm smile.

When you understands someone,
You just need to look them in their eyes,
You just need to pat their shoulders,
and let them cry in your arms.
It's just simply understanding.

How many people around us,
understands you,
When you are happy, sad, or angry?
And the most important thing is,
Do you understand yourself?

风有情,雨有意
这是我师公讲座的题目。
师公简单的说了,
“世界上,没有什么是能够独自生存。
就好比医生需要病人。”
说到这里,看似很简单,
却需时间深深体会。
这一句,

听到师公说到这里,
我的眼泪不禁,不停地往心里流。
突然让我想起,在我工作的地方,
有一位老人家。
背景是,无意间发现自己有了癌症。
从此,只要是吞什么东西,
都回咳嗽,像食物去错管道。
我每天陪她一起吃药。
坐在那里15分钟,我的泪就留了15分钟。
她,当兵30年。军人生活就是她的一切。
现在,需依赖年轻一辈,
来照顾她。
她自己几乎都在放弃自己。

我很努力的在用不同的方式,
扰乱她,意图对话能够让她,不知不觉地把药吞完。
但不是每次都行得通。
每次问我,吃了药也不会好,为什么要吃?
护士,不是万能,我能力能做到的,
我使劲地做了。

我最近常常对自己说,
要不是过去的十年,
受过法炬训练,有一颗,
给人希望,给人方便,
一切随缘,乐观满足,
体会别人的感受的心,
我也做不了我现在在做的工作。
