geez... another sob sob episode of "You Fu" came to an end tonite.... i felt there were many stuff that actually opened my mind apart from the constant reminder of the cancer is not incurable message that keeps being repeated by the actors....
today's episode touched on quite a few stuff....which come to think of it all the episodes so far have also subtly portrayed.....and they are:
1. to keep oneself optimistic and be happy (easier said than done and though easy to understand...this is the toughest to achieve but once successful...the reward is pure happiness)
2. giving without expecting anything in return is the noblest... i felt this actually works for me hahaha in a way ... i mean not tat i want to do for show or anything but it can actually feel very "warm" and sunny inside when one does a deed from the heart instead of expecting something in return....(well FYI the donations tingy where pple approach you on the streets... the other day a lady approach me with these coupons of discount and stuff like that and asked me to buy them for like 10 bucks for the elderly charity well i told her i din want the coupons and then i put 10 bucks in the donation tin and said i just want to donate.... hahahaha i surprise not only myself but also the lady... she was like oh no no take the coupons... i declined and she left smiling with lots of "god bless you" directed at me... small act but like i said i din need the coupons or anything so might as well leave them to her to sell to another person...)
3. the one you love and frens are not forever...the only people who will care for you all your life and theirs too are your family..... no matter how nad an argument is ... as long as it is with your family it will tide over.... afterall they are the ones we have been living together for so long....that is why i finally start to appreciate the Chinese way of promoting family and filial piety... it is how we stick together in bad times and how we can share our joy in good times... sounds like i m preaching hahaha but until you really count your blessings today, you wun be able to appreciate... so do those counting now!!!
.... well i was actually complaining so much recently about my work and wanting to quit and all that.... watching the show helped be think things throung more deeply... there is no end to achieving more and getting more pay.... a job is a job unless one feels that he or she should live like an ant in a colony.... i believe now that taking a job AS a job is more important, it already takes up like 9 to 10 hours of our time in a day and so why must we still think about it, do OT for it and worry about it for the rest of the 14 hours???? It is so silly right??? heheh.... nowadays i keep telling myself to take things in a more open manner.... as long as i tried my best i will stop and if the result is good its great... if not than too bad... i will not let other people push me to the extreme ... i will not be a slave to my job... LIBERATION!!!!!
ok... now to go play my PS2... more fun and enjoy life rahter than to wallow in despair....

that's what i have been reminding myself these days: as long as i have tried, had done my best and the results are not what i have expected, there's nothing to be unhappy about.
Just found this while surfing... "Anticipation can often lead us to have unrealistic expectations about new people or experiences. Do yourself — and others — a favour by approaching with an open mind....forecasting is one of the characteristics that distinguishes man from animals. We should nourish this gift of being able to make some attempt to see what is ahead in life.
The best way to deal with this tendency to prejudice is not to suppress it but to give it full rein, let it flow. Have a point of view; guess what you can about a new acquaintance. Make up stories in your mind about the people sitting at the other table in the restaurant or across the aisle in the bus. Be creative.
And then put all these guesses to one side and approach the new contact with questions, with genuine interest, with care for his personality and with a determination to learn as much as we can from him and give as much to him as he would like.
Once you have got to know him, it's a good idea to compare your predilections with reality and see how they match up. That will help your forecasting as well as your ability to preconceive but remain unprejudiced. "
