I wish you enough

Well, CNY is about to be over in 2 more days. Valentine's Day was yesterday. Its been a festive 2 months that we have over here in Malaysia and I hope that many of you would have taken the opportunity to celerate some of the special occassions with people we love and care about.

I know I have. I'm lucky to have many friends and family to celebrate with. I'm lucky that I've been able to keep myself relatively busy catching up with all of them.

And yet, there are people whom I still wish I had the chance to catch up with. it's been a really long time but New Year's are a great excuse to catch up. I guess we always want more, hehehe.

Anyways, I received this very nice email from my friend; who plucked it from Paulo Coelho's blog. Yes it is the same friend that sent me the excerpt from Paulo earlier book from an earlier blog post a month or 2 back.

I'm reproducing an excerpt from that blog below. But read the full contents here.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more..

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting…
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.

********

While the exceprt itself is beautiful, read the story behind it, its truly touching...

To all my family and friends, I wish you enough.

5 Pictures #1

I've been running dry on ideas recently and this is something I thought of. I will, on and off, post 5 pictures which I took recently that I like. I will then tell the story behind the picture. So how about that? I can now combine my hobby of photography and blogging about recent happenings without sounding like a "this is what i did today" blog ;-p

The pics are of low quality cause I'm afraid of photo piracy issues, hehehe




Rain drops. It's always funny how the weather can affect how we feel.

Wait a minute, this isn't the story for this picture. I'll talk about that later in another post. This picture was taken after multiple times trying to focus with my new camera. As it only has autofocus, sometimes it wouldn't focus on the object I want. Hence the advatage of having a DSLR. But yeah, this camera gives me flexibility and freedom of movement.

I caught the picture I want of raindrops on my car window and bokeh lights at the right end of the picture =)




This panoramic shot was taken at the recent Floria 2010 Festival. Its a floral festival but the picture I chose to share has nothing to do with flowers. It's a picture of my 2 friends from high school, TJ and JL. After almost 10 years together, still going strong =)

Well, about the festival, most of the flowers are the same (the tropical weather kinda limited what we could see). Not much in terms of variety, but I guess a good photographer will be able to snap some really good flower shots anyway



Rev. Thats the new gym I've just joined. Kinda empty right?

Its not your typical gym, I can assure you. The gym practices a method of workout called Crossfit. Click on the link to see how Crossfit helps us in our daily lives. And Click on Rev's link if ur interested to find out more.

Love this place as the workouts are fun. The trainers are very friendly and eager to help.

Alternatively, you can always ask me =)




The World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Finally over and its back to the football withdrawal syndrome. Good thing is that next month is August and the European football season begins!

And oh, congratulations to Spain, for winning the cup. My tip before the tournament began won, muahahahah!!!



Angkor Wat. This is the view from the East Gate. Rarely taken picture. Hence you guys should feel lucky I posted this up ;-p

A place with wonderful history, culture and people.
Definitely a great holiday destination. Once again, you can always ask me for tips about this place if you are planning to go there yourself.

It's a place you gotta go at least once in your life =)

My money, your money, our money

This is my financial planning blog which I think I have written about last year. Well I finally got around to write a first post and I'm glad to say its finally up and running.

The reason why I have this blog? The blog header says it all:

*****************

I will share what I have studied in my financial planning course as well as other developments in the finance industry and maybe some economics. Please feel free to correct me or give your inputs to my posts. My aim is just to encourage awareness towards our own finances.

*****************

I've been inspired by some finance blogs i read which have imparted some form of knowledge to me. Then I thought to myself, if other people can find time to do this, I can do it also. So here I am today, gonna make my dream work. That dream started August last year and then sputtered to a stop. Now its Alive~~~~

Muahahahah!!!

Do visit and provide feedbacks as well. If you have anything topic which you would like me to cover, I can try to do it as well. Ideas are always welcome :-)
