the story of ROSE

This is a great story... got it from a my sister thru email... hope that we'll be inspire by her story... Njoy!

Rose......

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said,

"I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."

(this cracked me up!)

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE


REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTION

Make a Living by what we get; We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

day out with Grace...

I went out with Grace yesterday to KL cos its a public holiday. She teman me to go Pudu and buy bus ticket for my Penang trip. After getting the ticket, we went for early lunch bout 11:30am @ Lai Fong restaurant... Grace ate beef noodle and I had chicken rice. *yum yum*
After our yummy lunch, we took a bus (yea.. bus! its been 4 years I've never sit a public bus) to Sg. Wang. Actually our next destination is to go Low Yat Plaza to search for mp3 player. Saw a mp4 player on the net which is quite good, so my purpose is to check out the features and see how big is the player but unfortunately, couldn't find it.
So we went walking around the level, continue to search and scouting around and comparing the prices. Saw a guy playing with a mp4, looks nice cos big screen (2.5inch), so I ask him how much is it cost.. he told me 256mb = rm429 and 512mb = rm499 or something like that. I got a shock and I straightaway brush off that model on my mind and continue scouting. Went to a shop that sells only mp3/mp4 player.. lots of choices and cool design. Saw the same model that the guy uses on the display, so I went and ask the lady. The model that she's selling is different price compare to the earlier one that I saw... well, its infact cheaper. 256mb = rm399 and 512mb = rm499. I didn't buy it immediately of course.. went scouting and comparing price again. Still couldn't find the mp3/mp4 that I want.. so I ask Grace's opinion. She said the mp4 player not bad. So we went back to the same shop and ask for the model but when we were there... lots of people crowding the shop. Something funny happen at that time.
There's a girl and a guy standing in front of me and she's holding a mp3.. like she's there for enquiry or needed services. So both Grace and I were just standing there waiting for them to finish with their matter.

The conversation goes like this... (both parties speaks mandarin)
Shop Owner: Can I help you?
Lady: There's something wrong with my mp3. Couldn't start and couldn't charge as well..
SO: (opens the battery compartment and got a shock)
L: (looking at him innocently)
SO: Miss ah... I don't think there's anything wrong with your mp3 player. The battery you use probably runs out.
L: Oh! Then how do I go about it? How can I charge?
SO: You can't charge this battery cos its not rechargeable. You're suppose to throw the battery away once its finish.
(people around witnessing the conversation trying to hold their laughter.. just smile away. even the retail sales girl was holding in)
L: Erm... then what should I do?
SO: Its either you buy a normal battery or (he went to get a rechargeable battery set) you can get a rechargeable battery like this one.
L: Oh! Then how much is the rechargeable battery cost?
SO: rm35.
L: How long am I suppose to charge it and how long can it last?
SO: Aiyo... it depends how much you use it lor... (showing abit of frustration) and for first time user... charge it for 15hrs.
L: (took the rechargeable battery and show to the guy thats next to her... discussing bout it..) Ok la... I'll get one. Thanks.

So, what did u think about this conversation.. I didn't make it up ya.. its real conversation between shop owner and the lady. hehe. Well, I think the girl come from those kampung kampung place or from China. haha. No offence for those people from China la.. sorry ya!
Oh.. btw, I bought the mp4 player from them. Pretty good. I like it alot.. haha.. converted a movie file to ASF. file and its in my mp4. haha. yay! happy happy!

MANUFACTURER'S RECALL NOTICE

Have an interesting article to share. Got it from a friend.

MANUFACTURER'S RECALL NOTICE

The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of Make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.
This defect has been technically termed, "Subsequential Internal Non-morality," or more commonly known as S. I. N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some other symptoms:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish, or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.
The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.
Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual: The B.I.B.L.E. (Believers Instructions Before Leaving Earth), for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on JESUS.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will haveto be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thank you for your attention! Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice!!!

WELCOME year 2006

WOW!!! Time flies and its year 2006. Been away from blogging for awhile.. not that I'm busy with Christmas and New Year stuff.. ^_^ Just wanna blog what I did during the whole week.
Went to Penang to celebrate Christmas with my BB. Went there on Friday 23rd Dec, 05. Didn't do much there but to swim, swim and swim. Went to visit my BB's grandparents who's staying in Butterworth (his uncle bought 2 condo there, so went there to swim) Been swimming for 3 days straight, even rain couldn't stop us... haha.. except for lightning la... Whenever we were in the pool, we swim for hours.. 2-3hours. geng leh..! I guess u'll say siau la. haha. but no kidding.. we did swim for 2-3 hrs. Haven't been swimming for a long time.. but I still know how to swim and it feels good. I stayed in Penang till thursday cos my BB have to work on Wednesday (3pm - 11pm), so my BB fetch me over to his grandparents place after lunch. Quite bored there cos nothing much to do and I forgot to bring my thumbdrive over if not I can still do some work using Filion's dad notebook. Thank God there's tv, at least I can watch the tv till 5pm. After that I went for a swim, from 5pm till 7pm... 2 hrs.. I swim the most on that day. Tiring. Then had dinner, ate some rice first cos hungry then they made steamboat. Was yummy. Ate alot. haha.
Hmm... what else... oh ya.. went for movie on tuesday, we watch Chronicles of Narnia. It was indeed a good movie. I think they should screen more, make it a 3hrs movie. Unlike King Kong, darn boring. That movie should have cut to 2 1/2 hrs or lesser than that.
What I did on Christmas Eve...? We went to Catholic Church for a midnight mass, which we have to stand for 2hrs cos too crowded, no place to sit. Was expecting a more lively carol but then it was ok. hehe. That's all I did at Penang la.. the rest of it.. normal la.. go hang kai, eat and swim. hehe.
As of thursday, we came back almost evening. Went dinner with my parents to Sam You. Then friday, I went back to work. To finish off some stuff for the weekend. Later in the evening, went out dinner with Filion's uncle for seafood. The food was nice. On New Year's eve, we went to Curve, left house bout 10:30pm. Jam all the way there. Saw the fireworks, was cool but then the place that we stop our cars... can't really see the whole fireworks la.. so sad. Well, wouldn't want to risk and drive all the way down to KL... it'll be freaking jam and crowded.
And as for Sunday, we went to 1 Utama. Go walk around and had our dinner there. They have this huge monopoly board at the new wing centrecourt (human monopoly).
After dinner, we go to church. My church have some event on for the New Year. Suppose to be on New Year Eve but it clashes with our Chinese Church, so we change it to Jan 1, 06 evening "New Dawn 2006". Saw different cell groups present their items and presentations.. it was indeed fun.. especially the youths. U guys are great! haha.
Thats all for now... here are 2 pictures taken during that night.

My beloved Cell Members...
