My Favourite Spot

Yesterday, I helped my mum to clean and organise some parts of my house. I helped her to clear the books and some unused items. It took me all the morning to clear one of the rooms of my house. As there were many things in that room, we almost could not see the surface of the table. The table looked so untidy and make me eyeshore sometimes. I took me few hours to clear the items. Finally, we can see the surface of the table. But, some books, bibles, bags and laptop bags have to put on the desk also. As there are no space to put them. But, at least we still can see some part of the desk and it looks tidy.

After taking the lunch, I start tidying the shelf behind of my house. Before that, I like this spot as my family and I put the books we buy there. The shelf is full with books. There were many school magazines, reference books and old books on the shelf. So, I decided to clear them out. Then, there are more places for new books.

After clearing the unused books out, there are only dictionaries, magazines, readers' digest, novels and so on. Now , this is one of my favourite spot in my home. I like passing by the shelf to have a lookk on the shelf. It looks more tidy and clear to see.

This is the whole view of the shelf. Three level and I think is full already.

This two levels just contain chinese and english books. I just finished half of them only.

This is the best part. The authors that I like the most. Jodi Picoult, Dan Brown and Mitch Albom. I want to collection the books that they write. Make it a collection for the three authors.

I have a dream and wish. I dream of having a room filled with books that I like. Like library. Then when I'm free, I can sit down in the room and enjoy my free time. Hope that this dream can come true.

Thought For Days

Happiness
It is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.

Be Content
Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.

Integrity
When the thoughts we think are the same as the words we speak, others will feel our integrity.

Treasures
All human beings have a place inside which is filled with treasures; be still and you will find it.

Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

Start Early
The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. It is not surprising that you will find all experienced meditators and yogis up with the dawn, inviting the sun of spirit to shine into the heart of their soul. The first half hour of conscious awareness will be the foundation of your day. Make an early start. Meditate, set the switch of your consciousness and calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be surprised the difference it makes.

The Virtue of Sweetness
Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain sweet attitude, sweet words and sweet actions.

Every Thought‏
Fill every thought with determination, every step with courage and every word with love.

Thought For Days

Acceptance‏
Acceptance is the secret of contentment. Appreciation is the secret of happiness.

Jewel Of Happiness‏
You are a jewel of happiness who sparkles with the wisdom of knowing that all will be well.

Wisdom
You are a wise soul who unlocks the mysteries of life by beginning with the self.

Virtues
Sweetness is the taste of all virtues. Patience is the fortress of all virtues. Cheerfulness is the evidence of all virtues.

Detachment
Detachment does not mean we don't care about what is going on in the world. Detachment does not mean coldness or hardness. It just means we learn to stand back and observe for a moment. Detachment gives us that 'space of time' to create a measured response and not to be overruled by habitual reaction.

Enthusiasm
Those who are fired with an enthusiastic idea and who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts find that new worlds open for them. As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities.

Change
When there is growth, changes are automatic, if I fear change, how can there be growth?

Positive Thinking‏
Positive thinking and optimistic outlook will never produce bad results. Negative thinking and pessimistic approach will never produce good results. Positive thinkers will never fail. Negative thinkers will never succeed.

Generosity‏
Generosity of spirit increases everything we have and gives us everything we need.

Live Fully
They say 'only fools live to the full'. Because only fools go where most of us fear to go, only fools do what many of us spend our lives avoiding. You don't have to climb Mount Everest, or cross the world in a hot air balloon to live to the full. Simply enter each day with a commitment not to avoid anything or anybody who comes your way. Then your Everests will come to you, in the form of difficult people and challenging situations, and the only thing you will need to conquer is our own fear and evasions. And when you do conquer, you will know that you have lived fully, for there is nothing more exhilarating than overcoming our own obstacles which, if the truth were known, are always only in our own minds. When you turn to face these inner obstacles and challenges some people call this real courage and you certainly are no fool.

Be Gentle
Non-violence is a very deep philosophy. Not only does it require me to harm no one physically, but also to avoid harming anyone's self-respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitivity. When I have learned to be gentle with myself, I can be the same with others.

Clear Vision‏
If you miss an opportunity, do not cloud your eyes with tears; keep your vision clear so that you will not miss the next one.

A Caring Heart
I express my care and concern by responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart. If I remain aware that as fellow human beings we are all part of one family, and that even the smallest of gestures can make a difference in people's lives, I am always blessed with a caring heart. It takes so little to show that I care yet it can mean so much.

Faith
When I am continuously being battered by the storms of life, and my very spirit is ebbing away, then all I need to do is hang onto that gift called 'Faith', that one support which will weather the storms. Faith does not depend on a clever head, only belief: belief in the self and the strength that lies within. Faith is the seed of victory and the foundation of making the impossible possible.

The Spirit of Generosity
Generosity means more than just giving. It also means to cooperate with others. The greatest act of generosity is to see beyond the weaknesses of others, helping them to recognise their innate value.

Wishes

Few weeks later, it will be christmas. This is the first time I celebrate this day with my family since I studied in KL. Besides, my brother and sister are coming home for their holidays.

This year, I really have some wishes for my christmas. I can make it a list, I think.

One of my wishes is to pass my acca exam and get a good job. Hope that these wishes can come true.

I'm here to wish my family and friends 'MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR'.

Thought For Days

Riches
The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches with them, but to reveal to them their own.

Harmony
Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony.

Less
A rich person is not someone who has more, but someone who desires less.

Your Own Truth
To follow someone else's truth is a trap. The best strategy is to know your own truth, face it and live by it. Others may inspire, guide, give you directions, but ultimately you have to cut your own way through the jungle. You could always be asking others where North is, and they will tell you. Someone will say North is this way and someone else that North is that other way - and both would have been sincere. But you alone has to find your true North.

A Long And Healthy Life
There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry, use time in a worthwhile way, keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

No Task Too Difficult
If you do everything with the feeling of happiness, there will be no task too difficult to perform.

See Only Virtues and Specialities
An ant is tiny beside an elephant but as soon as an ant enters the ear of an elephant it goes crazy. The elephant’s ears are so big, the elephant itself is so big and yet a tiny ant makes it go wild. In the same way, if I allow the slightest defamation of anyone go through my ears, I lose all my spirituality. I lose all my value because I start interacting with others on the basis of what I have heard about them. Pay attention to this! We have to be very, very selective in what we allow to enter our ears. Let me learn to see only virtues and specialities. Let me not concentrate on anyone’s weaknesses.

Thought For Days

Coincidence?
Nothing is just coincidence; every tree in life's garden bears significance.

Determination
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

Finest Qualities‏
Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only the best and finest qualities.

Age Gracefully
There is nothing more inevitable than the greying of hair and the crinkling of skin. Resisting it is like trying to hold back the tide of the ocean. Accepting it is the way into a graceful life and the possibility of true Leisure! Our lives are mostly without leisure as we succumb to the marketing men and their determination to convince us that the tide can be beaten back, at the very least, kept at bay. As a consequence we count the greys and measure the length and depth of the wrinkles. We spend our time and attention on the surface of our forms, and create the habits of anxiety and worry as they inevitably deteriorate. But when we truly know ourselves as spirit within the form, all those subtle tensions are dissolved. We never age, never grow old, never die - only our bodies do. Knowing ourselves as we truly are is the doorway to freedom and to the graceful acceptance that we are destined to inhabit and play many roles in many bodies. Is that not both a liberating and a relaxing insight? If you play with it, explore it for truth, meditate on it, seriously give it 'house room' in your head, you may actually experience yourself as a free spirit. And when you do you will know true relaxation.

Appreciate The Gift
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Thought For Days

Lighten Up
When someone lightens up your life just by their presence, you can be sure they are emitting a very positive energy. When someone puts a damper on the meeting or a conversation, you can be sure there is some hidden inner baggage which contains sorrow and darkness. Which do you bring to the party? A little light or a little dark? A lot of optimism or a little pessimism? In olden days, before one switch could illuminate a whole city, one candle had to be lit by another. So if you are aware that you are carrying a little darkness, perhaps it may be useful to spend time with someone whose inner light is already lit, and stays lit in all circumstances. Eventually we may learn the art ourselves, and then serve as a candle to others.

Bright World
Remove the darkness of the mind and the world will be illuminated.

Wellbeing‏
The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness, the more my own sense of wellbeing rises.

Intuitive Intellect
Intuition is the discerning of a refined intellect. We all have the capacity for intuition, but we find it hard to cultivate and exercise this capacity as we are mostly encouraged to keep our awareness focused on the surface events and activities of life around us. Intuition is that voice of innate wisdom which can speak to us at any moment. It is the core of our self, of our consciousness, a touchstone which is always true and trustworthy, as long as the voice is not distracted or disturbed by the many voices of our ego, or others egos, which we allow to reside like ghosts within our consciousness. Learning to listen to and trust our intuition means we must be able to recognise these voices and ruthlessly ignore their deviations and temptations. This is why we need to spend some time each day in some form of contemplative process - call it meditation, reflection or just listening to the self. When we give time to restoring our inner peace and quiet, we will learn to discern the voice of our intuition from the cleverness of our ego. When meditation becomes a regular exercise we rebuild that trust in ourselves to be able to ignore the machinations of ego, and follow the wisdom of our inner tutor. Gradually there comes a time when we never do not know what to do, when every event reveals something deeply significant to our awareness, and we can sense the deeper needs of those around us. These are the inner subtle skills of intuition and the sign of our intuitive intellect at work.

Truth
The power of Truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it. You need only be concerned with being it and living it. Truth is always revealed, at the right moment, at the right place.

Happiness
There is no nourishment like happiness - it's an elixir. There is no sickness like sorrow - it's a poison. The experience of true happiness cures the sickness of sorrow. A cheerful face goes a long way towards making everything better!

Yes 'X' Can!!!

Exam really coming soon. It only left almost two more weeks for me to prepare for my ACCA exams.

Last Friday was the election day for US president. I still remember on the three words that Barrack Obama, the new US president, always used during his speech in the election campaign.

YES WE CAN!!!

Now, I'm using these three words to encourage me..

YES I CAN!!!

So the others who are having your exam soon. I give these three words to you.

YES YOU CAN!!!

I like the Obama song by Will-I-Am.. Below is the lyric..

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. (We want change.)

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea: Yes We Can.

If you wanna have see the video of this song, you can go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY

Hoping that these three words really can encourage me to study and pass my exams. Good luck!!

BATH, UK

I like Bath. There are many historical buildings to see. Some buildings amazed me as I can't imagine how the ancient people built the buildings with the technology they have at the time of building them up. Hard to imagine.





Especially these three photos below. The buildings are half round. It really amazed me.




Before looking at this very clearly, at first sight, I thought is a statue. But, it's a real man. Swt~

The following photos were taken in the Roman Bath..












These were taken when I walked round the city.


Look these two photos carefully. You can see three design of the roof top of the building.








I had taken many pictures in Bath. But, I would like to show you all the pictures that I like.

Hope you all enjoyed reading my posts on my trip when I was in UK. Enjoy it~

BELGIUM

Belgium, which was the last place I visit during the trip. So anxious to go back to Sheffield but, my friends and I had another trip to Bath.








This was taken in Paris before we went to the ferry to go back to UK. We took this in front of the bus.
