You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her daughter, she asked, 'Tell me what you see?'
'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile.Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat?Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials! are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches . When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. -courtesy of ryosuke7 -

Once again,Gavin Degraw is back with his 2nd album,the self-titled "Gavin Degraw".
His debut album,"Chariot-stripped" back in 2003 caught my attention when one of his hit singles " I don't wanna be " was made the theme song for the popular US hit-TV -One Tree Hill.
From then onwards,Gavin has been enlisted in my top ten favorite artists list.
Gavin,not only a singer,but also a song-writer blew of my mind with his extraordinary performance. The way he assembles the music and lyrics,and the way he perform the song...it's just gorgeous.He's that kinda singer that will make your knees weak and float on cloud no.9. What else can you ask for when a decent young lad plays the guitar,the piano and sing tremendously well.
If you don't know who Gavin Degraw is, if you haven't heard of his music, it's not too late to know him now.Go grab his CD,and I'm sure you'll be thrilled,and falls in love with him simultaneously.
What's more, you'll be humming his song the next moment.  Posted by Carmen on Apr 12, '08 10:14 AM for everyone If you meet a guy (especially Indian) who rides a motorbike with bloody hand knocking your window demand you to stop and asking for tissue paper to clean the blood when you are driving a car, remember DO NOT stop the car at all. Even how he damages your car or holds the side mirrors tightly also DO NOT stop the car but directly drive to the nearest police station. This kind of criminal tactic had been reported about 40 cases in Seremban police station (actually around the whole country also happen). The guy is mainly Indian, he was dare to commit this criminal even in the crowded area whereby no body will dare to stop the car to help you. The main purpose of this dirty tactic is to rob you and even commit rape if you are female. Please forward this message to the people you care about at your best.

如果你正在驾车时遇上有人 (尤其是印度人) 驶摩多举着血淋淋的手敲你车窗，叫你停车，向你讨纸巾抹血, 记得千万别停车。就算他怎样破坏你的车或抓住车的侧边镜不放也千万别停车，直接将车驶去警局。此类案件在芙蓉警局已接获40 多宗投保 (其实全国都有发生), 匪徒是一伙印度人，就算在人多的地方也敢造案，因为没有人敢停车帮你。这些匪徒最终的目的是男的就抢劫和女的就劫财劫色。尽量将此讯息转发给你关心的人。 Posted by Carmen on Apr 12, '08 10:09 AM for everyone Dear friends,
I would like to share a real life story of a friend.
This incident happened on today evening (1 April 2008). I went to the PJ State (Also known as PJ New Town) Maybank to withdraw RM500. Unfortunately for me, only 9 RM50 notes came out instead of 10.
What happened was, one of the RM50 notes was folded exactly in half and placed at a corner of the stack (Please refer to the attached pictures showing how two RM50 notes can be counted as three).
I was so upset because I have no proof that the ATM did not give me the correct amount. After much hesitation, I finally decided to call Maybank to complain about the incident knowing that I may not get back my money. But at least I can caution them of such incident. When I told of my situation to the Maybank Customer Service Representative, to my surprise, I was informed that I'm not the first victim. It seems that similar cases have occurred before. The lady explained that it is the malfunction of the ATM and the money may accidentally get folded in half. However when questioned, she was unable to explain to me why the money can be folded exactly in half and placed nicely in the corner of the stack.
I believe this is the new technique of cheating money, done by the people who are responsible of placing the money into the ATMs. In the stack of money which is to be placed into the ATM, one RM50 note is folded nicely in half, for every one note taken out of the stack of money. The folded RM50 notes are then placed at the edge of the stack and positioned in the ATM where the money would be counted. With that done, every one folded note would be counted by the machine as two notes.
I may be wrong about how and why it happened, but I would like to warn everyone about this incident. Please be careful when withdrawing money from the ATM (it may happen to other banks as well) and do count your money to be sure. If such an incident really happened to you (*touch wood*), please do call up the bank to complain about this. If everyone keeps quiet about this, the bank may be unaware of such incidents and the people responsible may just continue doing what they do without getting caught! Even if it is actually because of the ATM malfunctioning, the bank should know about this and there is also a chance of you getting your money back.
Regards,
Jean
Posted by Carmen on Apr 10, '08 4:00 AM for everyone | Category: | Music | | Genre: | R&B | | Artist: | Boyce Avenue |
So you think you've heard Justin Timberlake singing Lovestoned. But what about the acoustic version of Lovestoned? Recently i stumbled across a new band on youtube.If you are a frequent suffer on youtube,you might have heard about them. The group being known as Boyce Avenue comprises of 4 talented guys.The lead singer plays guitar and piano.The drummer plays base and drum-from a wooden cube that he sits on. The group is now singing quite a plenty of popular songs like Umbrella-Rihana, Lovestoned - JT, Take you there - Sean Kingston, With you - Chris Brown, Apologise - One Republic.... Sometimes when he's singing, he smirks a little.And i think that's pretty cute. But i think being cute is not enough to be a singer.Cause singing is like telling a story.You don't just make your audience hear you,but you make them listen and feel it too.Something is missing from this group.They sing well.But they are just merely singing...i can't feel the "something". No offense to fans of Boyce Avenue. Click on the link below to watch Lovestoned being performed in an acoustic way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9wNAj2NToIHope you guys enjoy it. Posted by Carmen on Apr 6, '08 12:35 PM for everyone  Something triggers me to write this down.
I was watching One tree hill season 5 episode 11 & 12 moments ago.
And tears keeps pouring down, haven’t have this kinda feeling for quite some time, I don't know what triggers it, the acting or the music.
Peyton - dying to get back with Lucas but has to send her blessings for his wedding.
Hailie - loves Nathan but couldn't accept infidelity.
Nathan - dying to get back with Hailie
Lucas - What's wrong with him?Peyton or Lindsay?You're marrying Lindsay but you're writing a book on Peyton?
I love these parts best. It's cruel but it's great.
-By the door,(Nathan's house)Hailie opens the door to see Nathan and Lucas there. And awkwardly, Nathan says Hi.
-I seriously don’t like the part where Nathan apologises to Hailie and Hailie turns him down. The look on Nathan’s face reminds me of someone.
- Nathan with Jamie in the bedroom having some father and son time while Hailie is standing outside the room overhearing the whole conversation.Poor Nathan and Jamie.
-Skills and the gang hanging out by the car right outside the church. “You know I love you P.Sawyer rite,but baby girl you are so far from ok~,man you aint even from the same area code.” As he finishes his line,check out the look on Peyton’s face-So disappointing and heartbreaking.
-In the church, Peyton "imagining" that she stood up and pour out her feelings for Lucas.
I know it’s stupid to feel like this over a drama. Come on~…I admit it..it’s EPIC LOVE DRAMA ok, it’s OK to shed a few tears. That is what the director wants ok, tears~.. Some beautiful quotes that I would like to share with yall; “Don’t give up on it, and if you don’t get it, you might get something better.” - Karen “If there’s no breaking, there’s no healing, and if there’s no healing, there’s no learning. And if there’s no learning, then there’s no struggle.” – Lucas Posted by Carmen on Apr 4, '08 11:39 AM for everyone  | Category: | Music | | Genre: | Pop | | Artist: | One Republic |
I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Bridge (guitar/piano)
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

Posted by Carmen on Feb 13, '08 12:26 AM for everyone I was reversing the car this morning when i saw a huge colony of ants by the fence.I saw something sticking out by the fence,but i thought it was just a leave or something.Out of curiousity,i went down the car to catch a closer look.I thought it might be some interesting subject for me to capture. Indeed,it is a great moment not to be missed. A snake being torn up by a huge colony of ants. I quickly parked the car by the side and jump off to grab my camera. I think it's really a tragic way to die like this.>fire ants bite~  Have you been bitten by a fire ant before? Lemme tell you,it's freakingly painful.You'll actually jump off the ground when the ant take it's first bite onto your skin.As you shake your hand in pain,the ant will not let go for your tasty skin,it will cling on to it. Then your skin will immediately turn red,and you'll feel the itch and pain rite away,you'll start scratching the spot vigorously.Within seconds,a red n heaty bump will appear.Then,you'll start crying for mama. Posted by Carmen on Feb 7, '08 12:21 PM for everyone well...Chinese New Year EVE.The time now is 23:26,and i'm sitting here in the living room writing this blog.The rest of the crew are stuck in the TV room having karaoke.Songs from the 90's>80's>>>30's.Oh My...can you imagine how many generations of ppl we're having here?
From james blunt to backstreet boys to all 4 one to carpenters to beatles to patti page....etc...
As the number in the age increases...the anxiety towards chinese new year has lessen throughout the years.It's no longer a "hot shot" celebration,instead it's more like a time where friends and family gather up,sharing and updating gossips.
i didn't join the countdown crowd this year,cz i was fast asleep after i wrote this blog.I think i was OUT at 23:50.Too tired perhaps.
I put myself to bed after a glass of red wine and a glass of bailey's.
Good night sleep.
Posted by Carmen on Feb 2, '08 12:26 PM for everyone Been cooking alot lately.Don't ask me why,i just felt like COOKING.
So...what's for dinner tonite?
Let see...hmmm...i made grilled chicken served with mashed potatoes and fresh salad.
And it taste good.
My bro (the great chef) gave me a 8 over 10.And i'm happy enough to get a score above 7.
Grandma and grandpa "wallup" 80% of the salad. With Mayonnaise and mustard.
Bro took 60% of the mashed potatoes.
And everyone had an even slice of chicken.I think that's not enough,i might need to increase the portion next time.The chicken taste just as good, with or without the gravy.
Preparation time : 1 hour
Cooking time : 30 minutes
Eating time : 15 minutes
Food served : Grilled chicken + Salad + Mashed potato + vege soup
Food left : 0 %
I think it's pretty cool and healthy to have this kinda food every once in a while, instead of just rice riCe RICE~!!
Mashed potato replacing the rice, fresh salad replacing the fried vege.
Instead of having chinese everyday,it's good to have some western,italian,arabic,brazilian food every now and then.It's something refreshing and it keeps the cook creative.And of course,it keeps the taste bud adventurous and more exposed.
A quote from my bro, " When the east meet west,where did north and south go?"
Check out photo album for tonite's dinner.
Posted by Carmen on Feb 1, '08 8:02 AM for everyone Posted by Carmen on Jan 14, '08 1:18 PM for everyone  | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Drama |
Everybody knows Keira Knightley, i supposed.
The only lady on a pirate ship - Ms. Elizabeth Swann.
After her great performance on the trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean, Bent it like Beckham, Pride and Prejudice, I am so eager to watch her next on screen performance.
So, i went online googling and you-tubing for her stuff. And guess what have I found?
“Atonement”
The movie –Atonement, directed by Joe Wright, is an adaptation of a novel written by British writer Ian McEwan. The book “Atonement” has won Ian McEwan many prizes including the LA Times Book Prize, National Book Critics Circle Award, WH Smith Literary Award and the Santiago Prize. Therefore, I truly believe that it is a book worth reading and keeping. I wonder if anyone has seen it on the shelf of MPH or kinokuniya, please let me know ya~.Thanx
The movie itself has got numerous nominations and awards including Best director , Best performance by an actor / actress / supporting actress, Best screenplay, Best original score. And guess what, they’ve won the Best Motion Picture and Best Original Score for the Golden Globe 2008. It’s kinda pity that there isn’t a red carpet Golden Globe this year due to the WGA strike. So, fancy dresses and expensive jewelries won’t be able to walk the red carpet this year..Aw~..what a pity.
Back to the movie.
I would say, if you enjoy classical, true epic love story, English, this is a movie not to be missed. And to be enlisted in your must -watch-list.
It’s a story about a 13-year-old girl who made a false statement. A serious lie that changes the lives of several people. Being accused for a crime he did not commit; being apart from her lover moments after they express their love towards each other; In guilt, she confronted her but it was too late.
Starring : James McAvoy, Keira Knightley
Genre : Drama/Romance/War
I’m not too sure if it’s ever been in the cinema before, but somehow I’ve watched it already. =p And now, I’m waiting for the DVD.[original]
It’s definitely a great movie not to be missed. The cinematography and the music are just great. I specially like the rat-a-tat-tat of a typewriter strafes and the way it kept repeating at the background. Somehow, it makes me feel on the beat and how the writer is trying to convey her message. With great directing, great acting and great scores, a good movie is produced.Bravo~!
Oh, and not to forget, Robbie Turner –James McAvoy did a great job. If you still remember who he is. He was the faun [half goat half human creature] in The Chronicles of Narnia – Mr.Tomnus.
Imagine a Faun in the previous movie, and a heartthrob in the next? I would say he’s definitely a great actor. Way to go James~!
Posted by Carmen on Dec 31, '07 11:42 PM for everyone A very Happy New Year 2008 to all my fella friends.

Posted by Carmen on Nov 29, '07 12:41 AM for everyone Thank You For Your Time
A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last ! night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
"Jack, did you hear me?"
"Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.
"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many da! ys you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.
"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.
"You know, Jack, after your father! died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said
"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.
As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
The nigh! t before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.
Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.
"The box is gone," he said
"What box?" Mom asked.
"There was a small gold box th! at he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most,'" Jack said.
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
"Now I' ll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep! . I have an early flight home, Mom."
It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read.
Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting! was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside.
"Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life" A small key was taped! to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.
Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved:
"Jack, Thanks for your time! -Harold Belser."
"The thing he valued most was...my ! time"
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked.
"I need some time to spend with my son," he said.
"Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time!"
"Life is not measured by! the num ber of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,"
Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

Posted by Carmen on Nov 26, '07 12:02 AM for everyone Wondering why i have been M.I.A for quite sometime? Well..the truth is, my office in Kubang Kerian (Kota Bharu,Kelantan) was broken in last week (15 nov 07). The heartless thieves took away my 2 computers,external hard disc,2 units of aircond and a handheld vacum cleaner. I'm so so sad, cause all the work that i've done and produced through out the last 6 years are all GONE! GONE! GONE! Like what Justin T sang in Gone. "But the truth remains,you're gone~"  All the hard work,pictures,songs,movies.....GONEEeeee  What about backup? Well..i did back them up in my external hard disc,which i left it in my office,WHICH were also TAKEN AWAY.Sad sad~ Total lost : 440GB of datas For that idiot son of a bitch (&$%^&*( who took away all my hard disc,i hope you will burn in hell.What on earth is wrong with you?If you're too free and have nothing better to do,go jump off the building then,or maybe you could go clear the mines.Go...blast your self up.Nobody will care.Infact,it will be great if you can get your head blast off.But who am i to judge you?I'm not god.And definitely not trying to play god.I just hope that you'll get what you deserve SOON. And friends...thank you for your support.Appreciate it.<huggies and muacks to all of you> Since this incident,i've learnt to be more careful and have more respect for technology.Also to treasure and appreciate what i have for every single day. Things come and go,so just be thankful. Be thankful Posted by Carmen on Nov 9, '07 3:38 AM for everyone here i am..sitting in a cybercafe in Sg.Wang (Kuala Lumpur) I don't know whether it's a trend or it's already a trademark that everyone come to cybercafe to play online games.I have no issue with that,but it's the environment which i don't like. I am "forced" to use the cybercafe cause i still don't have my own laptop,and i have some urgent stuff that requires me to use the internet. Of course i chose an open concept cybercafe cause i don't want to be in the papers. I was seated next to the counter,with a "No Smoking" sign rite in front of me.So i thought i was pretty smart to have chosen a NON SMOKING cybercafe. But I WAS WRONG.SO WRONG. 10minutes later, a groupd of kids of 15-17 years of age came in.(Boys n Girls). What for? Play Games..!--that's ok. what else.... Smoke. And i was like~.....Shit~..Air polution. Then 10minutes later,another group of poeple came in.-Shopkeeper's friend. I overheard their conversation and here goes... "How much are you going to buy?" "How much left?" "How many are you buying?" "What's Cheong buying?How many he bought?" "Earn how much?" "Good ar?Reliable?" Well...it definitely sound like shares to me..or some other product that they are buying in for their "company". After like 15minutes later,only i realised they are buying "Weapons" online.For their games. And i was like OMG,because swear to god,their conversation was so freaking serious.Who would have thought of that~?! Just as i was trying to understand what strategy they are using... "$%^&*(_" " cxxxx" " txx xx x mx " *&(&(%*_#(*%%#% and more of the 4 / 5 letters foul words came from the back.It was that bunch of kids. OMG,what's wrong with these kids? I think i am the only one who felt offended by those words cz the rest of the users have no reaction at all.I really hated it when they say those words as if those are very elegant words.Damn~...what's wrong with this teens?? Shit~...Sound polution. Advice : Don't use Cybercafe.

这部电影100%是在槟城拍摄的。从历史到电影银幕上，故事讲述孙中山先生在槟城的时候。 在1906年到1911年之间孙中山先生一共来了槟城5次，槟城华人支持他策划一个策略性的革命起义运动.，黄花岗起义。这个轰轰烈烈的革命运动虽然失败却唤醒了中国导致後来的辛亥革命的成功，并成功推翻了满清帝皇政府。 这部电影是叙述孙中山先生在1910年7月到12月之间在槟城所发生的事。历史上，这段时期，孙中山先生的元配卢慕贞夫人，二夫人陈粹芬夫人皆两个女儿和 哥哥孙眉先后都来到这里。这部电影《夜。明》是专注在鲜为人知的孙中山与陈粹芬夫人在槟城的事迹。这部电影是依据一些史实来编写，有部分虚构的人物等。自 从这部电影的开拍，越来越多马来西亚人也开始兴趣有关孙中山先生在槟城的事迹与马来西亚华人参与支持中国1911辛亥革命的运动。 我们希望这部电影会吸引许多人来槟城，追随孙中山先生的足迹。。。  宏愿开放大学《夜．明》未演先轟動 9月27日至10月3日檳城獨家公映

I miss blogging.
Been busy for quite sometime.
Although I have been sitting in front of the computer everyday ,from day till night.But i don't quite seem to be able to get the time to go blogging or chatting.There has been so much work that kept me occupied.
Yeah..I would say that it's tiring,but it's definitely satisfying and enjoyable.YES~!! I'm a workaholic.I enjoy working my ass off.
Been working with different people from different fileds and different levels lately.
I learnt alot. In terms of professional ethics,experience, business strategy and etc. I would say that..it's a nasty nasty world out here. People aint that naive, people aint that sincere. It's all about money, fame, advantages.
A 9 year old wrote : " My ambition is to become a doctor. Being a doctor, I would be able to help those who are sick and suffering from illness.It's great to see them recovering from illness and be happy and healthy again."
Infact in real life : being a doctor is no longer due to the reason they love helping the sick.
Doctors no longer love their patients. Why? Because they are sick and numb seeing patients everyday.But the pay is good and the name Doctor is glamorous.Come and think about it,which job do you get people calling you by you profession? Dr...you can even put it as Dr. John Smith when you fill up a form.
A 9 year old wrote : " My ambition is to become a teacher. I like to teach and educate kids."
But now, teacher no longer loves to educate.They became teacher because, by being a teacher, they only need to be in the school from 7:30am - 2pm.They might only have 3 - 4 periods a day. They leave home after school and get to spend time with thier kids & family.They have the most holidays compared to any other profession.If one's hardworking,one can even give tuition classes, which infact is a very good side income.
A 9 year old wrote : " I wanna be a businessman. I want to make lots & lotsa money.Then when i have enough money, i would like to donate money to the charity to help those in need"
Well,becoming a businessman yeah...sounds great. But soon, one will take what ever it takes to get his/her hands on a project.They don't really care if it's right or wrong anymore, as long as at the end of the day,they get the money...that's it.
Good Business~.Picture this~(During a press conference) 2 happy large scale businessman,shaking hands, exchanging agreement.They got themselves a deal.An understanding.
But the question is...HOW DID IT ALL HAPPEN?
Doctor Vs Patient
senario : Sick patient seek for medical assistance.
Patient : Doctor, I am sick.
Doctor : What's wrong with you.
Patient : headache,cough,flu....
Doctor : Got money to pay?
Patient : I don't have the money now,but can i pay you later?
Doctor : Sorry ..no free service. NEXT~ (calling for next patient)
Teacher Vs Student
senario : teacher teaching in a classroom
Teacher : Ok class.. Brownian motion is either the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid.....uderstand?
Student : Er~...teacher......why......
Teacher : You don't understand? Go read it yourself.If not,you can come to my tuition class.Available every Monday and Tuesday from 7-830pm at (-address-)
-continue teaching-
Businessman Vs Worker
senario : in a warehouse
Worker : Boss,the chipset that we are going to export later ,i found 100pcs malfunctioning.
Boss : It's ok, don't worry.You just distribute them evenly to other boxes.People wouldnt know.
Worker : But boss...
Boss : What~?! Who's the boss now? You or me?
So there goes,in everybox,you'll get a malfunction piece.Don't be the "lucky" buyer.
Why did this happen to our society?
Izzit because everyone just wanna get rich?
Nobody care anymore.
The greatest ambition ever wrote when you were young, the achievement that you'd dreamt of, the utmost vision...<yada yada yada> well~..that were all lies and stupidity. That will never work in the real world.
When something goes wrong,everyone seem to be pointing fingers at each other and wouldn't want to take the blame. Less work,less responsibility.ATTITUDE~
"My boss only pay me 2.5k, so why work so hard.I work for 1.8k ok d la."
"My office hour is 9am - 5pm.So i come in at 9 sharp and i leave at 5 sharp la.Why stay?Boss wouldnt give me extra money either.No gain no pain."
"So many extra stationaries in the office,nobody would know if i take a rim of A4 paper back home."
What's wrong with us?
Selfish minded,self centered
I would say...we've been CONTAMINATED !!
