Microbs Tomorrow

Its Microbs exam tomorrow, and yea,

Microb Microb Microb Microb Microb

all night long.

Somehow suddenly I wondered,

wow, I'm studying quite hard now, for what?

A full mark in tomorrow's exam? Thats all?

Nope, I'm aiming not only the full mark, but the satisfaction of the victory I will get later.

It just feels great when you know that all your hard work pays off.

HELL YEAH..

But I dont know why I've been thinking more than this tonight. I'm starting to imagine things that will happen further than tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or this week, or this month..

Big house, big cars, great workspace...

and yea, of course, a wonderful wife, and cute childrens..

I grinned..

Microbs

Ah.. I'm late for prayer meeting tonight..

Been eye-ing myself on Microb book for some time already, until I didn't realize time had already went passed 10 o'clock.

It should be me who will be sharing tonight, but Chia Zhen told me that he will replace me up for today so that I can focus more on my upcoming exams.

Thanks Zhen! I owe you one! =)

Our Lifetime

My Mom

a touching story........... 

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.

There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.

How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one eye!"

I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?"

My mom did not respond... I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.. 

Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.

When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children!" GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"

And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight. 

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.

My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"My dearest son,

I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. 

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.

I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother.

Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own.

Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace...

No Need to Shout

Why do we SHOUT?

One day, a professor asked his students
'Why do we SHOUT instead of speak when we are ANGRY?' 

All the students thought for a while. One answered 'Because we lost our cool.
That's why we SHOUT.'

But the Professor asked again, 'But the person is just right next to you,
why can't we talk softly but have to SHOUT?'

Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.

Lastly the professor explained 'When we are ANGRY, our hearts drift apart, to mask the DISTANCE we felt, we instinctively SHOUT instead of speak so the other party can hear us!'

'But as we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we felt we drift apart further.
So we SHOUT even louder...'

'It is the opposite when we are in love. Not only we do not shout, we whisper into each other ears.
Why?'

'This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart.
As our love deepen, we reach a state of communication where there is no need for words.' 

'We understand each other well enough just by exchanging look,' concluded the professor'

'Therefore, when we are arguing, DO NOT speak words that will make our hearts drift apart.
WAIT a few days.
When you feel your hearts are no longer far apart, pick up the conversation and continue from there.'
