Why God Made Little Girls

God made the world with its towering trees,
majestic mountains and restless seas,
then paused and said, "It needs one more thing;
someone to laugh and dance and sing,
to walk in the woods and gather flowers,
to commune with nature in quiet hours."

So God made little girls
with laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
with joyful hearts and infectious smiles,
enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He completed the task He'd begun,
He was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world, when seen through a little girl's eyes,
greatly resembles Paradise.

Xiaxue got conned by fake China-made iPhone, thinking that it's the real iPhone. Hahaha. After they PUNK'D her and had a good laugh, and then gave her the real iPhone to try out.

Xiaxue actually dissed the iPhone, using harsh words like as "sucks", "mediocre" and "shitty"(sounds like a certain guy in yellow swim wear) to describe it. Gizmodo, a US tech blog picked up her video and featured it, calling it "either the best or the worst iPhone review ever".

The video pissed off an entire community of Apple lovers, resulting in a flame war.

What is good?
~ All that heightens the feeling of power in man, the will to power, power itself.
What is bad?
~ All that is born of weakness.
What is happiness?
~ The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

Art of War [[谋攻第三 | 其次伐兵 ]]

故用兵之法，十则围之，五则攻之，倍则分之，敌则能战之，少则能逃之，不若则能避之。
故小敌之坚，大敌之擒也。

It is the rule in war,
if our forces are ten to the enemy's one, to surround him;
if five to one, to attack him;
if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two.
If equally matched, we can offer battle;
if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy;
if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.

Hence, though an obstinate fight may be made by a small force, in the end it must be captured by the larger force.

To All My Frenz

Especially the ones you trust
It's when you find a true friend
that you know what you've been missing
someone to laugh with
someone to cry with
someone to joke with
someone to understand you
someone to accept you for you
someone to be there when the chips are down
someone to always be there for you in times of need
no matter what the problem
true friends are the ones that never let you down
they are there for you always
thats what friends are for
to be on your side and there for you, always....
The best way to honor your friend
Is to be the best friend that you can be
What you give you will get back ten times over

(Following Text is From JD)
A son asked his father, ‘Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?’

The father who, despite having a heart condition, says ‘Yes’.

They went on to complete the marathon together.

Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying ‘Yes’ to his son’s request of going through the race together.

One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.’

To which, his father said ‘Yes’ to.

For those who didn’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86km) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 km) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 km) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.

Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Random Joke

Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.

    His parents had tried everything... Tutors, Mentors, flash cards, Special learning centres. In short, everything they could think of to help his math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and

    started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.

To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on    for some time , day after day, while the mother  tried to understand what made all the difference. Finally, little Zachary brought home  his report  card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his  room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise,    little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no  longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it?  Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. ' Well, then,' she replied, 'Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?'

Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to  the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

我不生不气

DEDICATED TO ALL WHO ARE ANGRY & LOST IN THIS POINT IN TIME.

他人气我我不气，我本无心他来气。
倘若生气中他计，气出病来无人替。
请来医生把病治，反说气病治非易。
茶不思来饭无味，通宵达旦不入睡。
倘你伸腿离我去，撇我一人活受罪。
奉劝老伴想开点，千万不要再生气。
气是杀人刀，装进没法掏。
气是杀人贼，装进撵不出。
如果把气装肚里，就是喝了敌敌畏。
气字危害真可惧，诚恐因病把命弃。
如今尝够气中气，我不气不气就不气。
现在是敬权敬钱不敬老，
心胸开怀莫烦恼，哈哈大笑学个傻吊。

Random Inklings

I was doing my usual morning intarwebs rounds. I found the below article.
Guess somehow it relates to our society and me. Do take a breather today to tink if it is u in the story.

And Uncle Fong, KNS ur that sg story.......

As I've mentioned a handful of times, during a recent squirrel rescue attempt in my attic, a friend put his foot through my bedroom ceiling. It was not me that technically broke the attic, but the blame is still largely mine.

So now, when my daughters spill something at dinner or break a cup, they have been instructed to instantly say, "Daddy broke the attic." It's a simple statement that kind of puts spilled juice in the right context. "No big deal," they say, "Juice is just juice, my dad knew I might spill and break things even though I am trying my hardest."

They enjoy the freedom of being able to say that and it made me think, do I ever do the same thing with God? That is, when I fail, do I ever instantly lean on the truth and grace of the cross? Why can't I in a moment of failure, call upon a much greater promise than just "daddy broke the attic" and say, "Christ died for me?"

Not that my sin or failure is not a big deal, but it has already been paid for. The cost has already been paid. And saying "Christ died for me" when I break something might help me remember that I too am a child at a very big table. I too have a father who loves me and cares for me. And I too have been provided an out from the sin I commit.

Christ died for me.

Catching this Tonite

Synopsis:

Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. Will hopelessly attempts a "gentler" version of his story for his daughter and changes the names so Maya has to guess who is the woman her father finally married. Is her mother Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)? As Maya puts together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle, she begins to understand that love is not so simple or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps him to understand that it's definitely never too late to go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy ending.
