I've well..been busy

I don't know what happened and when I've realized it, it has been 2 years since I visited my blog. Well a lot has happened ( duh!). I now have 2 beautiful girls

This is Kelly Grace Gituen Chen, she's 1 years old 

This is Khloe Ruran Chen and she's going on 5 in a few weeks.

Oh yes I've been busy and life is good. There are ups and downs, potholes here and there but who am I to complaint. I'm still struggling to control my temper and impatient. I'm trying my best but my mouth always get the better me. 

I've been working in this organization for the last 12 years or so and under 3 bosses now. I've moved from size L to XL and now to XXL.

I've tried to exercise but as usual I'm still on my lazy self and in denial that I need to loose lots of weight. 

Till next time.  

Gone

Today I lost a friend, we may not see each other everyday, we may not chit chat all the time but when our path cross, we always have a joke for each other. I've known him as a master student, then as a colleague then as a lecturer and I will truly miss him.
We can't say life is unfair since we are all given chances in life to change may it be our belief, our life style, our thoughts and so on. It's our choice to do the best that we can while we can. If we do it right we'll always leave a mark in people who have know us like my friend Kelvin Anom. May you rest in peace dear friend.

Target in sight

I'm fat more to over-weight but that doesn't give anyone the right to spread rumors that I'm pregnant. I'm a married woman so I do have the right to get pregnant not that I want to but I can if I want to. You get me?
So now bout my over weight thingy, I know I need to do something bout it. I'm sick of all these fad diets and over expensive supplements. I think I should try to cut down on all my food in-take and exercise more. That should be a good target. I want to proved that good eats and exercise is the key to weight lost. I'm not going to spend thousands on any more diet fads.
It's time to proved to myself I can do it.
What should I get for Christmas? A new dress? A must. New shoes? another must. Colour theme for this year? Blue? Red? Gold? I have to ponder more. hope by my next post I'll have that sorted out. *Hopefully next post means soon and not next year*

Christmas round the corner

It's already November and Christmas is coming soon. Christmas songs are already playing on my computer. This is Khloe's 3rd Christmas. Christmas theme is playing in my head. I want to teach my only child the real meaning of Christmas. Where do I start? I know it's never too early to teach your child the meaning of Christ birth to human kind and not just for the Christians. The foundation of a child starts not with academic knowledge alone but their religious knowledge. That's the most important and challenging task of all. I don't want my child to be excellent in her academic only but her knowledge of her Saviour is almost non existing. I want my child to be safe not only in this life but in the afterlife as well. I've watch many children who are excellent in their academic but with no moral value what so ever. How can I let my child out into this world if she is knows no boundaries and values. The very essence of a human is not what the eyes sees but what is in us. People will judge us not by what we've achieved materially but what we give back.
This is my goal for my child and there no better time to start than now.

  

Be original

Everyone wants to be an original but I wonder sometimes do everyone knows what being original means? People come out with copy rights because of wanting to be an original. Some got sued for ignoring the copy right issue. Most have forgotten an important part of being an original and that is ‘Ego’. Being original means being having such big ego till some calls it charisma. I give a good example, the late Steve Job; he has so much talent but has an ego so huge that only Atlas would have the strength to carry it. He created a great gadget for telecommunication and engages people working for him and made them sworn to secrecy. His company even sued another company for ‘copying’ and to think that his so called great technology was once copied from another. What sadden me is his talent is now buried with him. His knowledge, his skills all gone with him just like that. I was taught to share my knowledge and skills so I’ll gain more knowledge and sharpen my skills. My legacy will continue even though I’m gone. Something hidden will eventually be forgotten in time. So in generation to come, people will only remember a fragment of a great talent. What makes a man so talented and so into originality in the end lost so much? Ego!

There’s nothing wrong with being original but removed all ego and you won’t go wrong.

I'm Sherlock

Everybody watches television, it's the most common household activity. I only watch certain television series and I love all crime solving ones. Currently I'm hooked on Sherlock and Elementary; one British and the other US what else. I've always been a Sherlock Holmes fan. I read nearly all of Sherlock Holmes crime solving mysteries ever since I was a little girl. I still do now. After the ending of season 2, I Google immediately for season 3, only to read the word coming out in the falls of 2013. How am I supposed to wait? I felt a stabbed dagger in my chest * I know too much drama* But then I have Elementary and the only problem, it's not aired on Astro. Lets hope my good friend Mizie will continue downloading it.
Some say what I love watching is a contradiction of what I love to read. Well people, I may read a lot of love novels but I also read everything; I love all of Agatha Christie's, John Grisham's, Sir Arthur Conon Doyle (of course), I read  everything literally. I'm currently trying to catalogue my book collections online. You can find me on www.librarything.com under the name NoraHii. Now I've only add 1 book. Yes I'm that lazy.
Hopefully I can finish my Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Ok got to go, I have a hot book waiting for me. Chou 

What I learned from Pooh

I love Pooh, who doesn't right? he is so cute and the author is so brilliant. Every one of us is a child at some point in life and some of us never grew out of our childhood. No matter what, our childhood is always the best time of our lives. I didn't have a laptop or computer, I have no idea what internet was back then. I have no IPod; I only listen to music from a radio. Our televisions were no ASTRO but we still enjoy watching that few channels. We always welcome the rain cause it mean we can play in the drain *yikes right* making splashes in the puddles. My mother never asks me to exercise since I play the whole day outside; no over weight problem heh! *Can't say it's like that today* I have no problem with the world and my friends are many. Watching youngsters today with their gadgets, IPod, IPad, IPhone and their many ‘Is’. Not to mention their X box, and many other boxes. I still hear complaints of being bored, of not having enough. Then I look at my daughter, am I going to face that too some day. That is not something I anticipate with enthusiasm. 

Back to Pooh, he only have a few friends and Christopher Robbins (I hope I got his name right) but they sure have the best time playing in the woods, lying in the meadows and watching the days go by. I sometimes wish I was there and Pooh is my best friend. 

Sometimes I wish I could go back in times and enjoy another round of carefree life as a kid who has everything that makes her happy. Ok enough of my sometimes it’s time to get back to reality. Adios for now.
