A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes.

Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated.

Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.

Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally
ended.

The teacher asked: “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?”

The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the
trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart..

The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it
with you wherever you go.

If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???”

Moral of the story: Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so
that you will not carry sins for a lifetime. Forgiving others is the best attitude to take!

I can’t believe I havent written for sooooooo long. well, i guess i was a bit frustrated coz I’ve been trying soo hard to change the look of my blog but nothing seems to work. I cant see those changes. It’s very very very frustrating!!! Maybe I should put back the old standard template, i dunno… maybe i’d better do that.

And I just dont know what should write. I shouldnt have named this blog “Let’s talk about me” in the first place coz i rarely talk about me. No idea at all… I’m afraid that if i talk too much about myself here, sooner or later, people will find out who i am and that’s doesnt sound great – at all. the air of mystery around me will be lifted and i’ll be exposed to the whole world and who knows.. maybe people will make fun of me.

A lot has happened for the past three months or so – since my last entry. our office was renovated and we got to choose a new color for the partition. I got a big desk now – more place for rubbish 🙂 and… I’ve been here for about… hmmm let’s see… ooo… coming to 6 months and it feels so good to be here. I mean… I get along very well with all my colleagues and that makes me feel great. actually, i dont know how to express/explain/describe my feelings… it felt like a great sense of happiness fills my entire being…hehehehehahahaha…. sometimes, i do have bad days but compared to what i’ve been through before… it couldve been worse.

and i do have some bad news… my wedding was postponed to may. i dunno, in a way, i felt sort of relieved but then, deep down inside, i feel quite disappointed coz i cant marry on valentine’s day :-(. but guess i’ll just have to see the brighter side of things… like…emmm… ok, that’s allright, I’ll have plenty of time to save more money so that my wedding will be a blast! 🙂 that’s one. emmmm…. ooo… so, i’ll have more time to slim down. emmm… what else????? 🙁

a few weeks ago… i think i had accidentally forwarded an e-mail to one of my ex-colleague and to my surprise, he replied and asked how am i doing… awwww… he’s so nice. but the thing is, when we were colleagues, he seldom talk to me. it’s so nice of him to send me an e-mail… i remember there’s this one time when i was surfing the net, I stumbled upon his online diary and he had written about my last day at the office, my simple farewell party. It’s quite strange coz he never said a word to me during that day and i thought he never cared. In that online diary of his, he wish me everything… hope u enjoy your new place, good luck, dont forget us and wishing me all the best. I was really touched. but i dont know what ever happened to his diary, I either forgot the correct address or… the host is down or…. i dunno….

actually now I’m on yahoo messenger, chatting with my ex-classmate. sooo… i think i’ll write again… soon.

I haven’t blogged in anything for quite some time, I mean, I haven’t really “talk about myself” so much lately other than posting what others have e-mailed me. It’s been a very busy week for us. I wont even have a weekend this week. Have to work on Saturday and Sunday… 🙁

I’ve just got complain about some server down problem somewhere… 😛 And nobody’s here to check on the thing. I dont want to go coz I dont know anything about it. I dont know a single thing… :-(((( what am I going to do… 😛

Sometimes, it’s very hard for me to write something coz there’ll always be some busybodies trying to see & read what I wrote. It’s so uncomfortable…

to be continued… but dunno when 🙂

Sometimes, you have to admit that kids are too smart. They know just when to give you cute answers… so never ever argue with a child…

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah”. The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you ask him”.

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. “Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer; she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘that’s Michael. He’s a doctor.” A small voice at the back of the room rang out, “And there’s the teacher.
She’s dead.”

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, “Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.”
“Yes,” the class said. “Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary positions the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”
A little fellow shouted, “Because your feet aren’t empty.”

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.”
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, “Take all You want. God is watching the apples!”

A kindergarden teacher at age 30 was talking tothe children seated on the floor around her, absentmindedly she removed her glasses to clean them “wow, Miss Collins!” one child exclaimed. “You look really different without your glasses on !”
Another child piped up, “I bet she looks different when she takes her teeth out, too!”

A three year old walked up to a pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctors office. He inquisitively asked the lady, “Is there a baby in your stomach?” she answered, “There sure is.” Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked, “Is it a good baby?” she said, “Oh, yes. it’s a real good baby.” With a look of shock, he asked, “Then why did you eat him?”

*lol*
Kids are sure funny…

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won’t survive the week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.

If you attend a prayer meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the ****** ******.

If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.

If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God’s healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

One evening a young woman went alone to walk barefoot by the ocean after the sun had set. She stopped in her path and turned so she could see the footsteps she had left in the sand. But they had already been washed away by the waves. When she turned to continue her walk, she was startled by the presence of an old woman wrapped in a blanket who, out of nowhere, appeared sitting by a fire, slowly paging through the leaves of a leather-covered book.

She walked up to the woman and asked, “Where did you come from? I didn’t see you here a moment ago. And how did you start this fire so quickly?” Her questions went unanswered but there instead met with a reply in a serene voice. “Sit with me, child. I have something to show you.”

As the young woman sat down beside the fire, the mysterious stranger handed her the book. She curiously turned the pages one by one and was amazed to discover they contained the story of her whole life from the early days of childhood to the present. She then came to the page telling of her encounter with the old woman by the fire during her walk on the beach, but upon turning to the next page, she found it empty. She frantically began to turn the rest of the pages in the book, only to find that they too were all empty. In bewilderment, she looked to the old woman and pleaded with her to explain.

“Does this mean my life ends this night?”

“No, my child. It means tonight your life begins.”

At that moment the old woman took the book into her own hands and began to tear out each of the pages that had words, throwing them one by one into the fire until all that was left were blank pages. She handed the book of empty pages to the young woman.

“You see,” she said, “just as the waves washed away your footsteps in the sand, your past is forever gone, never to return. The only moment you ever truly possess is here and now. Each moment is the beginning of the rest of your life and is to be lived to the fullest, for you will not have a chance to live that moment a second time. Most important of all, each new day brings and opportunity to love – one that may never come to you again.”

“As for your future, you are free to shape it as you wish, for it has not yet been written.”

Then, as mysteriously as she had appeared, the old woman stood to walk away and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
