Your choice!

During 1 of the lunch time, i went to Golden Bridge at Shenton Way to tabao my lunch. The rice stall uncle was serving me when a china construction worker walked in front of me wanting to buy a plate of rice only ( he spoke very softy i couldn't hear) but before the uncle could finish packing my rice, he put down mine and cup a plate of rice with sauce for him. But he did not accept his money! In times like that and in place like shenton way, i can still come across such kind soul! This is a mixed feeling. One kind soul and one poor man. Never thought that this uncle is such a kindhearted man! Glad! Working at construction site and yet just can afford to buy a plate of rice for lunch! Sad!

The stall uncle choose to be generous towards the poor.

You Have 2 Choices

You have two choices

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply:

"If I were any better, I would be twins!"

Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs, so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant

Why？

Because Jerry was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him：

"I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood."

I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life."

"But it's not always that easy,” I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said.

"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.

You choose how you react to situations.
You choose how people will affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
It's your choice how you live your life."

Several years later,

I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business.

He left the back door of his restaurant open

And then in the morning, he was robbed by three armed men.

While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.

The robbers panicked and shot him.

Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.…

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.

"Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live."

Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.

But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.

In their eyes, I read
‘He's a dead man’.
I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything."

'Yes,' to bullets, I replied.

Over their laughter, I told them: “I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”

"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

I learned from him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.

The only thing that is truly yours - that no one can control or take from you –
is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

Now you have two choices to make:

1. You can delete this message or
2. You can forward it to someone you care about.

I hope you will choose #2. I did. (To share with everyone visiting)

Bryan

My cousin came from KL last week and stay with us for a few days. This is the 1st time little Bryan came to our house. I think he has great time with my girls....but too sad it was too short a stay. We went to Downtown East and thinking of going to the EXPLORER KID, but it was too expensive. 1st hr per kid is $22, and this fee exclude play @ Ball'O'City, Adventure Highlands, The Mound, Slumberland & The Rink! Now I wonder this $22 is only the entrance fee? Terrible! I asked the girl, I have 4 children, how much will that be? $88 excluding ...... So end up we just went to the mini indoor flyer. So sad, now ALL the attractions in Singapore is so expensive! How to go? :(

My recent enzyme

Grapefruit enzyme

Cucumber Enzyme

Grapes Enzyme

Strawberry Enzyme

These are my recent work on enzyme, sometime i made more, sometime less, because the fruit i want to make may not be available or fresh. It has been a year since I started to make enzyme and really must thank Aunty Irene, who is the 1st person to share with me the receipt on enzyme and her blogger i get to know like Eileen, Michelle, mamiwu who also share with us on the enzyme book and many others.

I personally feel that, i have gained from taking enzyme regularly and my daughters too. At least, her long long cough of 1 year plus has stop...and my gastric problem also din return so frequently, properly if i m careless, would be 6 month once.

I really feel that this blogging is really one of the greatest invention (if people dont abuse it). In the past, we get to know information only from newspaper, TV, books, very limited source and could be outdated. But now not only we can get 1st hand information, we get to learn many things and experiences.

Recently, I went to read abt "wearewonderwomen", is about cancer patient (Molly) passed away in May and her experiences b4 death and many other cancer patients' blog also. If there is no blog, we will not know what they actually went thru the whole process ( unless we have close friends or relative encountered), is really sad... Some of their ideas of having a blog is to leave a memory for their love ones after they leave, which is very different from us of creating a blog.
