Meeting

I'll be having a meeting tomorrow. It's Kumon Completers Club meeting.

We will be also having our annual dinner. It's at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

I guess my whole day would be taken up.

Well I guess this is considered an update. :)

Have a beautiful evening!

Happy Diwali!

I would like to wish everyone a very HAPPY DIWALI!....

Little Announcement

Hey, the original A-levels cert is out. Can go and collect it.

Disappointed

Yesterday, I got to know that I will only leave next year August.

Why?

It seems that they want to see the original A-levels certificate to issue an elgibility certificate. Only God knows when will I get the original certificate.

Anyway, I will just wait. That's all I can do for now.

Beautiful

Give Your Best!

It's the hand we clasp with an honest grasp

That gives a hearty thrill;

It's the good we pour into others' lives

That comes back our own to fill.

It's the dregs we drain from another's cup

That makes our own seem sweet;

And the hours we give to another's need

That makes our life complete.

It's the burdens we help another bear

That makes our own seem light.

It's the anger seen for another's feet

That shows us the path to right.

It's the good we do each passing day,

With a heart sincere and true;

In giving the world your very best

It's best will return to you.

By the way, Selamat Hari Raya!

Observe

Everything around is so beautiful. But we don't realise it.

Why?

Because we are too busy focusing on our future. I am not saying that we should not think about it, but we spend most probably 99% thinking about the uncertain future.

What we certainly have now is the present. So stop living in the past or dream about the future. Live for today!

Be grateful for the seconds we have. Because in one second anything can happen.

Enjoy every moment by observing this beautiful Earth!

Earth is the place we trully call home.

Hence, stop destroying it.

Enjoy the magnificent around us and live with the Earth!

Happy Vinayagar Chaturthi

Today is Ganesh Charturthi or Lord Ganesha's birthday.

So, how this day came about? The story goes like this.

It is believed that once, while Parvati was bathing, she created a human figure from some unguent and balm, gave him life and asked him to guard the door while she bathed.

After a long period of meditation on Mountain Kailash (Lord Shiva’s abode), Shiva chose that very moment to drop by to see his better half, but was abruptly stopped by the man-god Parvati had posted at the door.

Outraged by the cheek of this stranger, Shiva cut off his head only to discover moments later that he had killed Parvati’s son! For fear of enraging his wife, Shiva immediately dispatched his ganas (attendants) to get him the head of the first living creature they could find.

Well, the first living creature happened to be an elephant. As instructed, the head was chopped off and brought back to Shiva, who placed it on Parvati’s son’s body, bringing him back to life.

This elephant-headed god was welcomed into the first family of the Hindu heavens and named Ganesha or Ganapati, which literally means the chief of the ganas, or the attendants of Shiva. Ganesha is the foremost god of the Hindu pantheon.

This brave guardian of the door to Parvati’s bath is beheld today as the most auspicious God of new beginnings.

He is worshipped during every festival and before people undertake a journey or embark upon a new venture. You will also see him carefully guarding entrances to temples and homes, peeping out of calendars and happily gracing marriages and other such occasions.

Hence, that is the story behind this day. Don't think I know all this stuff. I actually took this from this website : http://www.theholidayspot.com/ganesh_chaturthi/history.htm


Ha...ha..anyway Happy Charturthi once again!
