I wish......

I wish i could build me that dream home, then i would fill it with my favorite people and all my happiest memories
I wish i could take back all those times when we hurt one another, then i would exchange them with words like "i love you" or "im glad we are family"
I wish i could guarantee that we can have all the tomorrows we ever want but i can't change the past or more predict the future
So i will just say "i love my family and am glad to be your sister."

I believe...............

I believe there's always hope when all seems lost,
I believe in dreams and plans and wishes can all come true
I believe in miracles and in magic too
I believe in family and seeing happy smiles
I believe in turning negatives to positives in life
I believe in looking farther up, the farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us we should forgive and forget ( but this is hard to do because MAN remain trapped in a cycle of hurting back whenever they are hurt)
I believe love should prevail at any cost
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
I believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on and looking at our troubles as another stepping stone
I believe that everything in life is what its meant to be and that there is a GOD somewhere although He's hard to see
I believe that i am me therefore i should do all that i can to be a better piece in the puzzle of God's plan
I believe that we should learn even one new thing about ourself everyday
I believe we should handle one situation with another person a little better than we did before, it will then be a successful day
I believe we should resist indulging in an old, unhealthy pattern of behavior and instead choose a new one
I believe learning to love and respect ourself means beginning to see ourself through God's eyes
I believe we should be grateful for the gift of being alive and for the opportunity to learn and grow
I believe we should do all that we can to make this world a better place to live in and if all seems lost just reach out to the Lord for he is your guiding light when you are in darkness and a strength to be reckon with without any doubt !

Hugs---(3)

Thanks for visiting my blog...But before you leave accept my HUG.

Let us not forget to embrace and to utter the words "i love you" my son/daughter/papa/mummy etc (and the list goes on and on) to those that we love. To that one person who have brought pain/suffering into our heart make an effort to forgive him/her and give that person a
HUG. It will surely heal the pain that is within you. As the saying goes, forgive and forget but to forgive and forget is simply divine.

Remember, if you need a hug just ask for one. :]

A poem by Dean Walley

HUGGING

It's wondrous what a hug can do
A hug can cheer you when you're blue
A hug can say " I love you so" or "I hate to see you go..."
A hug is "welcome back again", "great to see you !" and/or "where have you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain and bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug, there's just no doubt about it--- we scarcely could survive without it !
A hug delights and warms and charms
It must be why GOD gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, sweet for sisters and swell for brothers
And chances are your favorite aunts love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them
Heads of states are not above them
A hug can break the language barrier
No need to fret about your store of them;
The more you give, the more there are of them
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today !

Hugs---(1)

Having a hard day, or maybe feeling a bitty lonely then you have come to the right blog. Come on in , relax and allow me to put that smile back on your face.
A hug makes you feel good, like ntv7 my feel good channel. They say we all need at least four hugs daily for survival, eight hugs for maintenance and twelve hugs for growth. A hug is a form of communication. It says things that you have no words for. The BEST thing about a hug is you can't give one out without receiving one back in return.
To hug another is healthy activity. It promotes the body's immunity system, thus keeping us forever healthier. It reduces stress (much that we need in our lives today), it induces sleep and its rejuvenating.
Hugging and actually being in physical contact with others, and it makes a difference in a person's frame of mind.
Hugs are not only nice but they are much needed by everyone. Children and the elderly are the ones who need hugs the most. A hug can ease the pain and overcome all fears. It makes happy days even happier days and all impossible days possible.
I am giving here insight to the types of hugs that we have all entered into sometime or other in our daily lives:

(1) The Bear Hug---great for two individuals

(2) The A-Frame Hug---just a brief embrace ideal for new intrductions that requires a bit of formality

(3) The Cheek Hug---this can be executed in a sitting or standing position, and

(4) The Group Hug---meant for feel good friends sharing a common activity. It spells support, unity and universal belonging.

In conclusion i hereby leave you with a heart warming poem and some cute and fun information/quotes about hugs. Give it some thought for it's something the world needs more of.

A hug is two hearts wrapped in arms......

A hug is a handshake from the heart......

Check out Hugs (2) for the poem. Don't forget to view my blog again tomorrow for more heart warming stories.

Ramadan the fasting month and Hari Raya the celebration of muslim New Year in malaysia

The fasting month of Ramadan is a good time for all food lovers to visit beautiful Malaysia. Hotels throughout the country serve various menu buffets simply referred to as Buka Puasa, to break the fast at dusk (maghrib) of each day. These buffets feature an irresistable variety of malaysian dishes, including many that are not prepared at other times of the year.
The end of Ramadan--that is Hari Raya signals the end of the fasting month and the beginning of the muslim new year celebrations. In Malaysia we have basically 4 different new years mainly Hari Raya(malay new year), Deepavali(hindu new year), Chinese New Year (buddhist new year) and Merry Christmas (christian new year) all marked with open houses to which everyone is invited to participate.
Ramadan begins with the sighting of the moon and continues for a full month (30 days) until religious leaders sight the new crescent moon, Syawal.
During the month of Ramadan muslims will fast from dawn to dusk. Muslims are forbidden to consumed food, drink, to smoke and to indulge in sexual activity until after the break of fast.
Hari Raya Aidil Fitri marks the beginning of the muslim New Year.
Malaysians and visitors to the country are invited to Hari Raya open house gatherings hosted by
the King and Queen at their official Istana Negara and another open house hosted by our Prime Minister. Open house gatherings is a popular and common sight so be prepared for the long queques. One can eat the lemang with rendang, the satay and other curries and kuih muih.
Our departed ones are not forgotten too. Many make way to cemeteries to pay respect to their loved ones.

nothing can bring you peace but yourself

all of us spend our time here on earth searching for happiness, longing to discover the secrets for living a fulfilled and peaceful life. from our very first moments of existence as an infant until the day we die, we are motivated by the search for what we believe will make us happy.
'we want our kids to do well in school....we want our daughter to marry a nice boy ....we want our investments to perform well so that we will have enough money to take on further generations'....
these are all wonderful things to wish for but what happens inside of you when what you hope for in life doesn't happen?
the answer is we suffer. we feel betrayed, angry, hurt, confused, insecure and definitely not happy.
we go through this silent process of evaluating our happiness many times daily starting from the moment we wake up. and the list goes on and on...
life is unpredictable. like it or not but "shit happens" always.
happiness is a decision that we make to experience a situation in a particular way. likewise unhappiness isn't something that is inflicted upon you-it too is a choice that we make.
