16 Things That it Took Me Over 50 Years to Learn (by Dave Barry)

I love the hilarious little signs that hang on the walls of Jimmy John's sandwich shop (Mmmm, Jimmy Johns), and I took my son there tonight for dinner. One sign that always really tickles us both is shown below --- it was written by my all-time favorite writer, humorist Dave Barry on his 50th birthday. Although it is very funny, there's a lot of truth and some good advice in there, too. Hope you get a chuckle out of it (my son's favorites are #1, #10, and #15. I'm quite partial to #2, only because it's so true!). :)

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
3. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Final thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it’s up to the women to stomp the snot out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I believe most iphone and Android users are not unfarmiliar with the cost saving app called Whatsapp.
Some might have also used this other app for quite some time.

So... what am I talking about??

It's none other than LINE by Naver!

They have even released the desktop versions for Mac & Windows, plus tablet version too!
Download it here!

When you use it on phone, its tied to your phone number and detects/links your contacts (you've gotta add them manually/import it into LINE contact list).

I just downloaded it to my netbook and it looks similar to how MSN pops up, but the same interface as how it looks like on your phone! It can make calls, one-to-one chat & group chat!

The same goes to the available stickers, emoticons and emoji! Which is my FAVOURITE feature of LINE!

Their selection of emoji, emoticons and specifically stickers are my FAVE!!!! SOOOOOooooooo CUTE! And many of the expressions and actions as portrayed by these emoticons/emoji/stickers are very much related to our daily life! Hence the ease of not using much words over a messenger, yet achieve the objective of sending the intended messages across.

I've captured some screenies of these cute stickers/emoticons/emoji below: 

Conventional but pre-set facial expressions made of traditional symbols on keyboards!

Super cute actions-represented stickers are found in this series!

This white little guy series of stickers can simply get you bursting into laughter just by viewing it; you'll sure find 1 that's able to express how you feel, what you're doing or wana do from this series.

This girly stickers also provide many actions / activities and expression for you to express yourself 

My favourite feature: Emojis that are SUPER CUTE!!

Tell me now, AREN'T YOU LIKING IT ALREADY?? Say yes!! I bet you do!! hahaha

*eh-hem* Too excited already~ XD

Get yours now!!! Start exressing what yourself with all these cute little emoji/stickers/kaoji now!

Finding Happiness instead of waiting for Happiness to find you!

I just wanna share a quick post while I'm on the go.

Now and then, I will have my thoughts "let-loose" and it will wander from the north pole till the south pole. Sometimes, it simply went out of the world.

Of course, at some point in time, I will be reflecting (its an in-born habit that's been there since I'm ever having a conscious thought process).

I will think about what I've done recently, and perhaps until i'm super young and memories are now a fuzz. No matter what I reflect on, somehow or rather, my thoughts will find itself at home with happy thoughts & recollections.

This kind of set a good state of mind for me, especially when you are having days / moments that just doesn't wanna be kind to you. When this happens, most of the time it not only reset you r state of mind, your feelings, it also does this thing I would call, your "static field". This change always bring about positivity in you, and around you, and definitely brings about a "happy cycle" as I would like to call it.

I used to be rather "emo" before I was 12, although I was cheery, but many times emo. I believe it was hormones at work during puberty. But as life gets tougher as you grow up, it gets harder to steer clear of being emotionally down.

So how do you stay happy? You can expect nature to take care of that but sometimes things just doesn't work out. I think that its easier to rely on yourself to find happiness than for you to sit around, complain that life's never easy, or you've try to appreciate the little things in life but everyone and everything is going against you.. Blah blah..so on..

What I do is, like I shared earlier, allow your thoughts to take a stroll, You could maneuver it to your mist precious memories that you've been ever so delighted and high-spirited. Or, just start by truly appreciate what you have instead of what you dont have.

The chinese saying goes: 比bi 上shang 不bu 足zu, 比bi 下xia 有you 余yu

When you compare yourself to those whom you think living a much better life than you, obviously you felt like yours is miserablr. But look at it differently, comparing yours to those whom you think are unfortunate, how do you feel?

Lastly, (as its getting too long and typing on hp is tiring too) I love the chinese saying that goes:

知zhi 足zu 常chang 乐le，笑xiao 口kou 常chang 开kai

It means to be appreciative of what you have, happiness & laughters will always be with you.

Ok, time to stop.... Haven't done such a long post on "thoughts & sharing".. It's sure gonna be interesting when I read it again years later. Xp

Cheers,
FS.Rain

Wow~ It's the day of the year where retailers sends out the hype and increase the prices for simple things which we can also indulge any other day.. but then for today, it is so special that everything will be priced and viewed differently!

When I was single, I used to enjoy the hype and the romance in the air while wondering what's it gonna be like when I have my better-half..

Hmm.. ever since last year's V-day, I think it does makes a different when you have a special someone who celebrates this day with you.

For me, it was very random, unplanned, surprised.. coz we simply went to our neighbourhood park to have a packed dinner (from some food retailers of coz), and enjoy a sip of drinks or two..

When he sent me home, he was just playing with the guitar and initially it was just some random pieces and his made-up lyrics (coz he's bad at remembering lyrics?? not sure..).. I was just enjoying the moment, admiring him while he strummed, and thinking that he is talented with musical instrument (yea, I know many plays a guitar, but I prefer to think that my guy is pretty talented XD).

Before I realised, his humming & made-up lyrics to some pieces suddenly became a song for me.. a song he sang about me, for me!! At the moment when it hit on me, I was so overwhlemed with emotions, the warmth was astonishing!! Apart from the surge of emotions, I was also wondering if I shoot start filming him!! hahaha.. but my senses got better of me to simply enjoy this exclusive performance and allow our hearts to rejoice~ It moved me so much that before I knew it.. tears well-up and flowed as he sang to me his love and his feelings.. Definitely Unforgettable~ My first V-day... Thank you dear~!!

What about yours?

Heh heh.. I'm wondering what's up-coming for this year's but I am also trying hard not to anticipate too much as whatever that I have now on a day to day basis.. I believe is more than enough to last a life time. XD (I know I know.. MUSHY TO THE MAX!! )

I came upon this website which organized a conference in UK for employees' benefit. Being a HR professional, I am very interested in the content of this conference, hence I went into the listing where the presenters have allowed their slides to be downloaded.

Here, I came upon these set of slides by

It is quite an interesting presentation which also inspires me on my plans for myself and what I can do for my organization in the future (hopefully new future).

Check it out!!

Inspired~
