My Obituary In Reverse

My Obituary In Reverse... My Aunt suggested this idea to me to know how do I define a good life...here it goes...

Here Lies Chooi Ling, Beloved daughter of Mr & Mrs.....XYZ....
She always had a smile on her face, lighting up the world with sunshine, optimism and hope. Always trusting by nature, caring, considerate, kind and true to her character.
She always put people at ease whenever she can, being her true self of a warm and friendly person. She makes friends easily and is loved by many.....
As a daughter and sister, she has always brought life to the home with her intelligent remarks, her entertaining stories and interesting take and insight on life. As a good friend, she has always offerred to help whenever her close friends are boggled with conflicts...always offerring a fresh perspective to things...
Always humble, simple and unassuming character, she lived her life fully, pursuing to be the best she can be.
In life, as for anyone else, there are always ups and downs in life. She has loved wholeheartedly, she has fallen and hurt deeply too. She took chances, sometimes she won, sometimes she lost...But throughout it all, she lived life with no regrets. Because she didnt want to lie on her deathbed wondering "What If".
And today she can rest in peace knowing that she has left no room for doubt that she did live with a fierce passion for life.
May her soul & heart rest in peace, may her smile shine upon us like the sunshine and her tears from the past make up rainbows to remind us how beautiful life can be, if you have faith.

Taking things for granted?

Have you ever realised that you may have taken so many things granted.
Today after work I was having home cooked dinner, then after dinner I saw my mum peacefully surfing net on her FB page (yup! my mum is quite connected in the internet world), Dad reading newspaper, brother watching some movies on youtube, I realised that I have taken simple joys in life for granted. To have your family with you, and your supportive friends around you...how can one be ungrateful and complain about other woes of life when we have so much going for us in our lives?
And tonight, I am truly grateful for all that I have, my health, my family, my friends and most of all, my blessed life.

Live, Love, Smile.

Suddenly this quote came to my mind so I figured I'll put it here.

Today after the yoga class, the instructor told us "The practice as a Yogi transcends beyond the class. Sow the seeds of kindness, seeds of compassion and be non judgemental. That is the true essence of a Yogi"

Wow, think about it, feel it.

If we can approach everything and everyone in life with such love, compassion and light heartedness it will make everybody's life better.

So smile, live your life and love everything that comes along your way :). After all, life is meant to be happy and with no regrets.

Look back into your past with fondness, be present and aware in your current moment and be hopeful and have faith in tomorrow. :)

Have you ever realised?

Have you ever realised when things are going so badly, that you can feel the friends around you caring for you?

Have you ever realised when you thought you cant go on anymore, when your mind tells you you dont know how you can go ahead, your friends & family remind you of how special and awesome you are, how you are stronger, better than who you think you are?

Hugs to all the people in the world who needs a little bit of encouragement, a little bit more courage to shine and be who they can be in life. Leave behind the burdens of overthinking and the past, close your eyes, inhale and exhale.

Imagine yourself as the Lotus - never polluted by the water surrounding it, no matter how murky. Because inner peace and strength, purity, comes from within.

I Love this Song -still makes me tear up when I listen to it. Very touching

Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were softAnd their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
