New Born Diary - Damai Lama

Received a email from a friend... which contains a really something meaningful to share about.. but it does not means everyone have to accept this 'concept', but to me i would like to share it out to my friends.. a bit long but try to be patient :)

p/s: First of all, i got no any intention to offend any religions... just sharing.

This is a conversation between Leornardo(Brazilian theologist) and Damai Lama.

Leornardo asking Damai Lama : "Your holiness, what is the best religion?"
(He thought Dalai Lama would say 'The Tibeton Buddhism".

Damai Lama paused, smiles and looked into his eyes and answer
"The best religion is the one that gets you closest to God. It is that one makes you a better person".

Leornardo : "What is it makes me better?"

Damai Lama : "Whatever make you
more compassionate,
more sensible,
more detached,
more loving,
more humanitarian,
more responsible,
more ethical...
The religion that will do that for you is the best religion."

He continued :"I am not interested, my friends, about your religion or if you are religious or not.

What really important to me is your behaviors in front of your peers, family, works, community and in front of the world.

Remember, the universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts.

If I act with goodness, I will receive goodness;
If i act with evil, I will receive evil.

Been happy is not a matter of destiny,
It is a matter of options."

Finally he said :
Take care of your Thoughts because they become Words,
Take care of your Words because they will become Actions,
Take care of you Actions because they will become Habits,
Take care of your Habits because they will form your Character.
Take care of you Character because it will form your destiny
.... and your destiny will be your Life and.....

"There is no religion higher than the TRUTH."

The title of this article is 'Your religion is not important'

New Born Diary - 七年之痒

This morning took out a old movie to watch... by Carina Lau, Lau Cheng Wan...七年之痒. If i am not mistaken, i watched this movie few times already, which is the combination of comedy and love story.

Lau Cheng Wan really a good actor, as well as Carina Lau.. I especially love when Cheng Wan act in a comedy.. he really got the talent on that...

The process of Marry is EASY. To hold and maintain a marriage is NOT EASY! Every couple is learning the techniques EVERYDAY!

If both not putting any efforts in their marriage, it will end up very bore as got to repeat the same routine everyday, same conversation everyday ... If only one party is contributing ... it will not work out as well... as 一个手掌拍不响 (Clap one hand will not have any sounds). In order to maintain, need a lot of tolerant, understandings... of coz LOVES.

Learn to love the one you had chosen... He/She is definately not PERFECT, as you have to remember that you are not PERFECT as well :p

New Born Diary - Angel Name

Phew~~ finally, we manage to get a name for our little angel before due date.. remember, 14 days (2 wks) is given ... after due, kena fined oh....

Thanks to Master Lee on his extra efforts.. as need to double check as we chose other 'word' but same 'pi hua' .. thought is ok, but is actually NOT.. so make sure you all don make the same mistake ya..luckily last minute i double chk with him, and he got to squeeze his time to check for me with so short notice.. :p

My little angel name is 鄔欣霓 (Voon Xin Ni).

Before that, we thought of Xin Tong 欣彤 as Tong is the same number of 筆畫 as the option words given. But too bad ... 彤 is fire element which is not needed by my little angel... so got to choose other name...

To me and my hubby, we not superstition 迷信, name is very important that reflects a person life.. as this is a type of 'knowledge' that ppl had done a lot of research to come out... is not just pick from the sky... I do wish my kids will have a healthy and happy life, which to me is the most important thing in compare with other things..

New Born Diary - Oprah show

What do you do during confinement time? Well.... Since i had recruited a confinement lady, once she get used with her routine job (after 2-3 days). You can arrange yr time on planning your own routine as well.

I had start watching Oprah Show, which started at 10.30am on every thurs/Fri. It's really Good show.

Today she talked about the thing that I felt everyone will encounter, soon or later.. on and off ... First of all, ask yourself one question. "What you really want for yourself??"

We tends to forgot one thing 'Love yourself!'. We love our parent, our kids, our hubby, but we used to forgot ourself. You must slot some times in your tight schedule just for yourself to do the thing that 'love' yourself.

For a working mom like me, times is really 'tight' for me... Early morning wake up for preparation (bfast, dinner stuff, kids school stuff, laundry). After work, rush back, cooked dinner (sometimes packed from outside, but I still prefer to have home-cooked meal), bath, fetching the kids from bb sitter hse... son's homeworks, get them to sleep.. tat's all about so called A DAY. Is there time for myself. The answer is NOPE! I believe is not only happened to me. Right?

The result will be, it will be a day where i suddenly felt so exhausted, tired, frustrated.. coz i lose my directions, the meaning of life ... as I been ignore 'myself' for too long...

So.. try to ask yrself "What you really want ?" ... For me, I wan to be healthy and a balanced life. Once you got yr answer, you have to plan it and IMPLEMENT IT !!

Give yourself 30 min or lesser to read the book you like, to practice some exercises, to eat more healthy ... You MUST Plan something to love yourself MORE!!

While in hosp for the 2 days.... there are few times while she is crying loud, i sing the 'ku ku' song (Farewell ku ku song in the movie "The Sound Of Music"), she immediately stop crying and looking at me.... till i finish the song.... Yes, I sing this a lot to her sister (Qin) when she is still in my stomach, proved that she listened as well... and can recognised this song ....

New Born Diary - Con Lady

Not sure what to say about my lucks.... i had a bad experience with con lady on my 2nd confinement ... Qin time..

This round, i got another 'bad' one... damn bad lucks...

I discharged on Friday, my hub had picked up the con lady on that morning, took my lunch from my mil hse, and straight to SJMC for 'check out'.

She is very young look, told me 55 yrs old.... not so thin or not so fat.. medium size... short hair. We reached home around 2pm++. At 7pm, when she served me dinner time, told me she will get replacement for me. Reason is my house too hot, hot till not even got 'air', she cannot tahan hot, so she quit!!

I am staying in a double storey hse... not to say anything good, but so far my hse air circulation not bad. To me is not a reason, must be caused by other reason, but since i got 'experience' in dealing bad con lady before...i told her 'OK, you can leave once yr replacement arrived'

she keep calling her frens, then told me no one... then said she will contact agent, told me sure got. The next day, Saturday morning as my hub went to wet market to buy food , she pass me to talk to agent directy, agent told me need to extra RM 100 as need to cook for my hub and mom for wkday dinner + wkend (lunch + dinner). well, this is their 'rules', i said i will settle the RM 100 with this lady.. I told her that she need to bear watever extra cost, she disagree... and said 'cannot be i pay u for confinement mah'. I am already mad, so told her 'Now, you r the one caused me so much problems, once u arrive, u keep on complaninging this and that, I am paying you and I am the one who need to listen to all kind of complain from you.. You did not tell me you need a fully - air conditinoed envrioment only you can work. You should tell me earlier before you accept the job. Now you said u quit and if you go get a 6k con lady, do I need to pay the extra 3k for your false??"

She keep quiet and say 'I did not say i wan all air cond, ok, i pay the RM 100, and i wan to leave today'.

i said "fine, once yr replacement arrived, u can leave'

she go call agent, said she going to bear the RM100 (actually agent need to pay her if she intro agent job, so i assume the rm 100 is her commision that she give up). Agent told next day onli can arrived as the replacement is Ipoh lady, only can arrive on Sunday. Later she told me she had called taxi, as i said the lady onil can come sunday, she start tok again 'you wan me to bear 100 then now said tomolo onli can leave'. Before i talked to her, i had chk ith my hub, as in wkend, i can get my mil to come to help me coo k.... so i said to her "fine, u go and pay me back the balance'. After she left, 1 hr she called back, my hub said not sure she sendiri 'leong sam gua yi pu chu', then tell me 'the water in yr room is for u to wash hand, the one for bath is in kitchen'. I said 'ok'... then she say ok and off the phhone... Me so good, i even give the taxi driver direction on how to come my hse to ftch her GO!!

The new one arrived on sunday 3pm +. So far so good as i monitor, but dare not comment much as too early to judge, really 'met the ghost, scare the dark'...

Luckily als, my mil knew liao, she came to help me cook and take care bb....

I got her fullname but think of not to really spoil her name...just give you some hints, for those really want to know her name, can email me... she stay in cheras, she got a big
mole' on her face... some where near the mouth (not sure right and left)... she will need u to deposit rm 500 once confirmed. Agent told me, she only work in a very good condition , like hse got a lot of air cond, got maid, etc...
