being romatic

2009-02-13T17:07:00.000+08:00

I have learnt that..most of the time, in guys..there is not much Romanticism in their life..perhaps..to them ..I think romanticism is not about doing something, but being together with someone he love and waking up to see her everyday..being with her..is a way of being romantic :D

hoat la..??!

2009-01-30T15:51:00.000+08:00

Maybe..

Maybe God put a LOT bad people in your life,

so when the right one came along you'd be thankful...

you'd be joyful for the happiness you going to get...

but in the mean time..get hurt..pick up..get hurt again...over n over again..lessons learnt..yet repeated..

take time for yourself..

The Mouse Trap

2009-01-20T12:17:00.000+08:00

A story I would like to share:

The Mouse Trap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a
package.
What food might this contain?"

The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the
farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a
mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this
is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a
mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,
but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The
mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap
in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my
nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's
mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house - like the sound of a mousetrap
catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she
did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the
farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet
to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around
the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral; the
farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
>>
The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you,
remember :
when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to
encourage and help one another.

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." - The Dalai Lama

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said,... 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger,
'What would you like to talk about?''Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. '
How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.
'OK,' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'
The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?

do we have a deal? :O

2009-01-14T14:57:00.001+08:00

Just a poem I wish to share..
Coz in life, with regrets, come the desire to seek frogiveness..but then..
Is it easy to do so....hmm

You ask for my forgiveness but I would like to seek yours too:

You forgive me for finding you so eye-catching,
And I’ll forgive you for not noticing me.

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I’ll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I’ll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for missing you so much,
And I’ll forgive you for being so cold.

You forgive me for raising you up so high.
And I’ll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I’ll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for wanting your attention,
And I’ll forgive you for being so indifference towards me.

You forgive me for praying and wishing you to turn to me,
And I’ll forgive you for being turning to her.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I’ll forgive your for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for wanting to know how you are getting on,
And I’ll forgive you for cutting contact with me.

You forgive me for being a victim,
And I’ll forgive you for being the initiator.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I’ll forgive you for crushing them.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I’ll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for being so desperate,
And I’ll forgive you for enjoying having the upper hand.

You forgive me for being so loss,
And I’ll forgive you for having known she is the one you wanted.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I’ll forgive you for never having latched on.

It seems that forgiveness brings inner peace, forgiveness brings serenity
So do we have a deal?

trust lil germans to tink of such eloping plans

2009-01-07T15:15:00.003+08:00

At such tender age, these little german kidos..actually came up with plans to go to Africa for wedding! The budding lovebirds, the 6-year-old Mika and his 5-year-old sweetheart Anna-Bell Mika put the dream that has been shared by lovers across the centuries – the chance to elope to exotic lands, into reality. They even had the presence of mind to invite along an official witness - Anna-Lena's 7-year-old sister. The three got only to Hanover railway station before police intervened and put their plan to a stop.
These children have proven something ,..that its never too little or too young to fall in love..and go for your dreams..hee

And when it hits you or any of the closed frens or love ones you know..
what will you do?
what can you do?
How will you react?
What can you do to help?
What is the next ultimate step one can take?

Retrenchment (删除)...indeed a word people are so afraid of!

a poem i wish to share

2008-12-30T09:28:00.000+08:00

Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace,
To have more faith
To plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

A poem by..William Arthur Ward on new year..

jus explaining on previous post >>

2008-12-29T22:16:00.000+08:00

With regards to the post on when.. my burmese blood calls on.. :
I actually have some explanation for it. Well, those who know me on a closer level usually find my love life puzzling. The first question they would always ask is why “BURMESE” buys, not just anyone but why the particular preferences for only Burmese. That is why I wrote to explain my thoughts and the call of Burmese blood in me. And I want to stress here that I am by no way desperate, I shall say again not desperate or anxious to find a bf or husband. If my posts have sent out wrong signal or have been meaning to portray such a negative side of me, then I must correct it here. Because on the contray of the message I am not trying to relay, I really would prefer and strongly wish for guys, in particular Burmese to stay away from me. This Dilo Bear me simply tend to attract the wrong type of guys who are in every way wrong for me. Of course the fault could have been mine entirely but whatever it is, the endings are still the same: they turn out to be in the category of true blue J-e-r-k-s!
So ya, I am just trying to be true to my feelings and baring what I feel pa.. ok?!?

2008-12-28T13:40:00.001+08:00

Some might not know, perhaps from the very Burmese.or Authentic-Asian-looking me, actually Dilo bear has a long Chinese heritage. Well, from paternal side; it would be 100% Chinese blood while there is a little tainted Burmese blood from maternal side. But whatever it is, my love for Burma (which is universally termed as Myanmar, still I rather this motherland of mine as Burma) is still growing strong. I don’t long for riches or wealth. Neither money nor gems appeal me. And education has neither destroyed my belief or desire to go back and help out my following countrymen.
To tell the truth, my love and strong desire to go back grows as the number of years I spent in this stressful and practical country of Singapore increase. I don’t know when and where this blood of mine calls for….
But if someone were to ask for my hand to grow old with him in his township, I would be more than willing to agree straight away.. and start packing for the journey. ..
Hee, so you see. Such is my strong passion…Anyway there are really..so so so much things to be done .. for the people, for the children, for the monks .. and most of all for the better of the motherland. ..
Well, I myself is a native of Bago(which is a small township, few kilometer away from the once prospering capital city of Yangon. I love Bago. For its smallness. For the pagodas. For the people. For the bustling crowds near the Train station…
When I was young, at a very tender age, I have been to Hin-thar-dah township when my mother was posted to teach at their local university for a year. Those were the happiest moments of my life. I found country side appealing and the honesty of the locals very attractive. From that time onwards, at such young age, I vowed myself to marry the local or if fate allows, would like to spend some part of my life there. Those moments I wish to paint out in words..but they are simply..beyond what I could ever describe. ….>>those happy moments with the sis..i can call as my own..in teh campus of Hin-thar-dah Colleage<<

Subsequently, I got the chance to visit Shan state which includes Inlay and Taungyi some years back. That experience was what I would like to
I believe somehow somewhen..i would be ..dear motherland..and take resident at your site..please believe me..
...Even though its a very slim chance..and I might never get to settle down with any local burmese boy..still..I will come..please wait for me..cause I believe that..somehow..we will be united..once again..my beloved Hin-thar-dah..my beloved Bago..my motherland..Burma....

although...then again..

2008-12-27T23:52:00.000+08:00

quoted from..Gilda Radner:
I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I've learned, the hard way,....
that some poems don't rhyme, and
some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity...

wow..!a quote that simply took my breathe away...

Often, the first step is the hardest, but then after that rest assure that things will get going..

when it rains..

2008-12-24T12:24:00.005+08:00

The weather here in Singapore is either raining, sunshiny or cloudy..
But then what is different from past years is that there have been a lot of rain in the month of November and December..
Rain brought with it, the coldness, the remembrance..and the missing feeling..although I quite like rainy days and it really is a good feeling when you are in the comfort of your house, with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book while the rain pours outside. ...despite that..,,somehow...i wishes..for that someone..to be with that someone..so that we can cuddle together on the couch and enjoy the warmth and fuzzy feeling together…. In warmth, in cozyness..in much love..

sharing a lovely song..i heard last night..somehow..it seems..this song is so suitable to hear during rainy days..

to think of the past..to be reminded of the losses..

Unlucky in Love (A chit a twat kan ma kaung khae thu)

- Yone Lay + L.Sai Ze

in deed...Life is like a rainbow. .we need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear...

cheers to the rainy days..before the approach of sunny ones..

Latest Christmas carol for 2008
(Rhyme: Santa Claus is coming to town)

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town
It's hitting you once
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town
It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake,
HEYYou'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town
Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake,
OHYou'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:Recession is coming to town

may all lovers apart be united

2008-12-22T17:44:00.003+08:00

Hope that all lovers..living apart..can be united..soon!

My favourite songs:
Enjoy..~

Chinese Version
Title : Tong Hua
Artist : Guang Liang

---------------------------------------------
English Translation :
Tong Hua (Fairy Tale)

I forgot how long was it
Since I last heard you
Telling me your favourite story
I have been thinking for a very long time
I m begining to feel paranoid
Did I make any mistakes again?
You came and tell me with the tears in your eyes
That fairytales are all lies
It's impossible for me to be your prince charming
Maybe you will not understand
After the moment when you said you loved me
The stars in my sky, are begining to shine and shimmer
I'm willing to be, in the fairytales
The angel you love
Open my arms wide
And let it become wings to protect you
You have to believe
Believe that we will be like the fairytale
With happiness and joy as the ending

Burmese Version
Title : Min A Nar Shi Nay Sin (Wishing you were near me)
Artist : R Zarni :

---------------------------------------------
English Translation :
Min A Nar Shi Nay Sin (Wishing you were near me)

Those times we have spent together in the past
Whenever I thought back of these memorie, I feel like being near you
Among the strangers, I am here..working hard towards our goal
I have to go far away leaving you behind
I hope that I can trust you and leaving u in peace
Please believe me, have faith in me, believe that we shall meet someday
And that our goal will be fulfilled
When I am far away from you,
my eyes are only filled with you, thoughts of you during those time we are far apart
If my feelings are true and sincere, I hope that my wishes will come true
And that you will be here with me by my side

keep on ...

2008-12-22T10:41:00.003+08:00

There's gonna be many things in life that are going to make it hard for you to smile,
but through all you see, all you feel,
all the rain and all the pain,
all the darkness and all the sacrifices,
you have to keep your sense of humor and
keep on smiling. ..keep moving on.. keep striving for better

After a while, there will come to a point that..you just can't cry anymore.
can't pine anymore, can't hurt anymore, can't regret anymore..
You just have to believe that what happens is what's supposed to happen,
and, well,
you can't change that, even if you tried. ..no matter how hard you tried..how much you wanted..
So just dry the tears, and have faith..
hope that tomorrow and days to come in future..will be better days...
letting go in a way ..is a good thing..afterall..!

the above is written by my bestie..thanks goes to her.!
Missy, u r such a sweetie pie...

some thoughts of mine

2008-12-21T20:48:00.000+08:00

Dilo bear wishes somehow that she has the capability of what most women have - - the art of seduction, which we call in Burmese as “MAYA”, or which we term as “诱惑 (you huo)” in Chinese. Nevertheless Dilo bear is proud to admit that she is a plain jane who neither knows how to dress up nor attracts the one that she likes. All she knows is giving what she can which of course many a times HE doesn’t need or wanted. She is willingly to do anything, anything to make him safe, healthy and most of all happy. Thus in her believe, sacrifices she have made are worthy to do so. Perhaps it is in her nature to give. And it was never in her character to force or drove people to desperation.
....But then it is hard to be a good person.. It is even harder …To take the blame and ask for forgiveness. To forgive in spite of being the innocent party. To give her blessing and wishes when she herself is in pain. To let go when all she ever wanted is just the opposite. To forget and live on as if nothing has happened.

>>these are what i often felt..its just that never really has the chance to pen down my thoughts...just something i wish to keep in this site forever so that even after many years later, i will be able to read and laugh back at all the sillyness and innoncent thoughts of mine :P

With remembrance

2008-12-19T08:29:00.003+08:00

Sometime, we can't help but get flashes of memory of the past..
When you love something or someone, there is no need to possess them, time and again, ...
Afterall..in my belief, Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you have had even for a little while, the things you never want to lose. ..
Everyone of us has a book of life..and in it, there

Enjoy this lovely song..on getting flashes back of the past love..
By:
LAY PHYU
from this new album "Bay Of Bengal" , CD mp3 version was released on 10 December, 2008 more songs can be downloaded from HERE
song title: "page 15"

And a poem (not sure of the original poet but it is DEfinitely not written by me)..this poem..I like to share..coz..in a way I could link to it ..much.....

No more dreams of warm hands and soft eyes,

No more reality of getting hugged and kissed on forehead,

No more hopes of gentle wishes or talks in the night.

The realization of losing you is slow sinking in.

I never wanted it to be my fault,

Neither do I want to blame you,

So why do I feel like it is,

when things turn out this way?

I always wanted someone who could make me happy,

I yearned for someone to make me feel loved.

I longed to care for someone,

To love him wholeheartedly,

Making him center of my life,

Give him the best I can,

And I received all these useless questions,

Which the answers to we don't know.

All left to this pointless wonder.

I don't mean this to make you feel guilty,

It's just that I don't know what to say.

I never expected to ever lose you,

Especially when I realise that love for you is there all these while,

It hit me like a slap in the face.

This reality which I have to face,

But I hope you know that I still love you. ..

connection..

I found this place by chance..A place to connect parents..with the child they have lost :

This site..offers jewelry to help mothers feel connected to their little ones, to have a tangible something to touch and give them strength when they need it most. When the rest of the world goes on like nothing has ever happened, sometimes the grieving mother needs that extra something special to hold onto that carries her baby's memory with her, where ever she goes.

More letters...
A Letter to the Child We've Chosen Not to Have
Learning to forgive myself
I am not sure if these are fiction or not..but after reading them, I believe that they give one a pause ..to think that every woman who has had an abortion has - at least - has given a thought to, all the "What if . . .!?"

how would they have felt??

2008-12-17T16:22:00.006+08:00

This post ss Dedicated To The Memory Of All The Aborted Babies Throughout The World. ...
I can’t remember from where and which site ..I found this letter but I post it to here, because ..it seems..that abortion is like double edge sword..which can be painful experience for both the mother and the child..
...It’s a fact that I am such a sucker for KIDs and that my love for children is so well known among my frens.. and when I saw such things..I cant help but wishing somehow that there is a way to stop this.. áll this pain and unnecessary sorrow and hurts..

because I believe that being a female myself..even after years have intervened, a woman cannot and will not be able to forget the life that her decision took..

Dear Mommy,

I am in Heaven now...
I so wanted to be your little girl.
I don't quite understand what has happened.
I was so excited when I began realizing my existence.
I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes.
I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings.
I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you.
Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry.
I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon.
I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day.
I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened.
A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in.
I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me.
Maybe you never heard me.
The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt.
I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore.
Then the monster started ripping my arms off.
It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying.
I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me.
I wanted to make all your tears go away.
I had so many plans to make you happy.
Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered.
Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter.
No use now, for I was dying a painful death.
I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you.
I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead.
I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place.
I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.
The angel took me away to a wonderful place...
Then I was happy. I asked the angel what was the thing was that killed me.
He answered, "Abortion". I am sorry, for I know how it feels."
I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster.
I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me.
It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you.
I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster.
Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful. Please don’t let what happen to me happen to you.Love,Your Baby Girl

Dear Baby,

Ten years ago yesterday, I carried you beneath my heart.

Ten years ago today, I stopped the beating of your heart.

I, your mother, the one who gave you life, also gave you death.

It's been a decade and still my blood runs cold and I catch my breath whenever I hear the word 'abortion.' There's an emptiness inside of me that can never be filled, a chill that has never quite been warmed, a grief that will never end.

To me you will forever remain an unfinished song, a flower that never bloomed, a sunrise clouded by rain.

Even during your last fragile moments of life, I wondered, 'Is my baby a boy or a girl?'.

The question ran through my mind again and again as I tried to block out the sickening sounds of you being suctioned from my womb and from my life. I seemed to have a burning need to know whether I would have had a son or a daughter, yet somehow I couldn't bear to ask such an indelicate question of the doctor who stood smiling above me. Instead, I simply nodded in defeat and sadness as this man in white patted my trembling hand and said, 'Now - aren't you glad it's all over?'
As I lay there drowning in my own blood, tears and sweat, I could hear the nurses chattering about coworkers, new cars and clothes.
To these people, the extermination of your life was simply a job - 'making a living by destroying the living.' To those gathered in that sunny room in Philadelphia 10 years ago, it was just another day. To me, it was the darkest day I had ever known.
'The Abortion' - the most heart-wrenching, terrible experience I had suffered through in my 18 years; certainly the most painful experience suffered by you in your three short months. It has taken me all these years to get over it.
Now - as my eyes fill with tears, I realize that this is something I will never 'get over.' That fateful April day has replayed itself over and over in my mind like a horror movie one forces oneself to watch, then can never forget. ...
Even in my distraught state of mind, I knew that there were other choices. I was simply too scared to consider the alternatives. Still a child myself, I 'wasn't ready' to be a mother. What I didn't realize then was that I already was a mother. You became my child at the moment of conception; my love for you began when your life began, and although your life ended, that love has never died.
Your silent screams have awakened me from sleep many times over the years, and I have lain in the dark and mourned the loss of the baby I killed. There have even been times when I've contemplated ending my own life as I ended yours.
It's been 10 years and still I haven't forgiven myself. Have you forgiven me? Has God forgiven me for destroying a being created by Him?
I've had many nightmares through the years. Scenes of a tiny fetus in a trash bag haunt my subconscious. I've awakened in a cold sweat, again feeling the excruciating pain of that long-ago day. I recall the intense physical pain of the abortion - but those 10 minutes of hurt were nothing compared to the 10 years of pain I've lived with since.
For years my heart has ached to write you this letter, but whenever I attempted to put my feelings into words, I found the blank pages covered with tears rather than with ink. For some reason, though, tonight was different. ...
Perhaps this letter was meant to be written in order to help others to avoid the agony I experienced, to help other young girls 'in trouble,' as I was 10 years ago, to realize that there are alternatives to abortion. ...
If this letter prevents even one abortion, it will have served a purpose. But Baby, my purpose in sending this letter to you is to let you know that I love you - whoever you are. And I'm sorry.

Love,

Mommy

high up in the sky

2008-12-15T14:05:00.004+08:00

hanging gloriously..with its bright and luminous light..is the FULL round moon.. on this month 12th and 13th 2008...
a rare sight indeed to be caught..
a fren of mine mailed me this pix which he took on the 14th...according to him, it seems that we can even see the lonely little rabbit on the moon, if we zoom in...

I personally prefer moon to sun..
coz the moon is more soothing and easy on eyes..
moonbathing is much better than being under the sun..
feel more safe and secure, with much comfort..

anyway here is a song about the moon which is a favourite of mine :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
La Min Lay (little Moon 小月亮) By Rzarni

I am going to sing a song of “without the little moon”
>
Little moon, I am missing you
Don’t you know, how I feel?
My love, every night u came troubling me
Every little second I can’t forget you
All these agonies are because of you
>
When you are not around, I am so loss
Your love is so puzzling to me, I really don’t know what to do with it
When you are not by my side, I don’t know how to pass time
Just like that, as simple as that.. because I love you
>
Little moon, I love you the most
Please don’t hide away or go away from me
My thoughts are tuned into loving you
I will always love you, my mind is so full of you
My love for you is so extreme that it drives me mad
>
When you are not around, I am so loss
Your love is so puzzling to me, I really don’t know what to do with it
When you are not by my side, I don’t know how to pass time
Just like that, simply because I love you
>
Put aside your hatred, and stand in my shoes, and look at me
Don’t say those parting words
What will you choose my love: Love or hate?
My little shawdow..
>
Always, …when you are not around, I am so loss
Just like that, Just like that, I love you the most..
Where are you.. where are you my love?
>
When you are not by my side, I don’t know how to pass time
Just like that, Just like that, simply because..
I love you..

when things change..

2008-12-14T13:33:00.001+08:00

How true is it that...
Sometimes the littlest thing in life.. changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be but you just can't because things have changed so much .. that nothing can be done to salvage or atone for them ..
Such is the cruelity in life..wonders..of ways of life ..isn't it?

when a baby die..

2008-12-12T11:53:00.000+08:00

..will he/she become angle in heaven? or..will they have to pay for the sins and mistakes of the two selfish souls who produced him/her?

Wonderful Temples of the World

2008-11-24T13:02:00.000+08:00

Here are the 10 Most Wonderful Temples of the World

1 - Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan
2 - Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Mai, Thailand is unlike any Buddhist temples in the world.

3 - Prambanan is a Hindu temple in Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built in 850 CE, and is composed of 8 main shrines and 250 surrounding smaller ones

4 - No one knows exactly when the Shwedagon Paya [wiki] (or Pagoda) in Myanmar was built - legend has it that it is 2,500 years old though archaeologists estimate that it was built between the 6th and 10th century.

5 - Temple of Heaven is a Taoist temple in Beijing, the capital of China. The temple was constructed in 14th century by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty
6 - Chion-in Temple was built in 1234 CE to honor the founder of Jodo (Pure Land) Buddhism, a priest named Honen, who fasted to death in the very spot.
7 - In the 19th century, Dutch occupiers of Indonesia found a massive ancient ruin deep in the jungles of Java. What they discovered was the complex of Borobudur, a gigantic structure built with nearly 2 million cubic feet (55,000 m³) of stones. The temple has nearly 2,700 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.

8 - The Harmandir Sahib (meaning The Abode of God) or simply the Golden Temple [wiki] in Punjab, India is the most sacred shrine of Sikhism.
9 - The Temple of Srirangam (Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple [wiki]), in the Indian city of Tiruchirapalli (or Trichy), is the largest functioning Hindu temple in the world (Ankor Wat is the largest of all temple, but it is currently non-functioning as a temple - see below).

10 - Last but definitely not least is the largest temple in history and the inspiration to countless novels and action movies of Hollywood: Ankor Wat.

so..how many of them...have u visited?

04th NOv..2008:

Congratulation to MR BARACK OBAMA, the NEW elected PRESIDENT of U.S.A ..

In his victory speech...he mentioned that..''If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible ... tonight is your answer.''!

This is the very proof of nothing is impossible..so long there is faith, believe and of course with actions and more actions with almost everyone playing his/her part..

No doubt .."The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America--I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you--we as a people will get there..."

Really hope too that MYANMAR too can follow suits in this footstep..and somehow..someday..there will be CHANGES..there will be improvement ...there will be more ANSWER to our prayers!!

Take 2 minutes and read through this..

2008-11-04T09:11:00.000+08:00

INVALUABLE advice
Take 2 minutes and read through this; you will be amazed at what you can learn!

Bed Sheets
After drying sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other pillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, you just take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case are inside. No need to look for matches.

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - the fibers catch ones you can't see!

Easier thank you's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mother sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!

Name tag
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static C ling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a c ling y skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that c ling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila -- static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?

Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope

If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner

Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

Good-bye Fruit Flies

To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2 with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

Take baby powder to the beach

Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you're ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin.

Have you learnt something today?

BinTan vs BaTam

2008-10-23T16:21:00.000+08:00

Since the two names sound so alike..and there are much similairities between these two places, it is easy to get mixed up between the two.
batam (take ferry from Harbourfront Ferry Terminal )is the smaller and nearer one while
bintan (take ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal)is the bigger and further one..

Due to easy accessibility, many Singaporeans have been known to visit these two places..

however for the SPRs..visa is needed and many a times it can be trouble :(

The 12 countries that do not require visa to Indonesia:
Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Peru, Morocco, Malaysia, Macau SAR, Hong kong SAR, Ecuador, Chile and Brunei Darussalam

The countries that can pay for visa on arrival in Indonesia:
click HERE for list
visa fees is US $10 for 7 days stay or US $25 for 30 days stay

while other countries not listed would need to go down to embassy to make visa payment of S$75 while if given to tour agent to apply would be S$ 90

Particularly babies..ewweeee..

I love being with them.
I love playing with them.
I love their way of thinking.
Innocence. Gullible. Frank. Trusting. Naïve. Funny. Cute. Sweet.
But at times, they can be naughty, weepy, tricky and so troublesome.

Despite all these, my love for them remains..
Someday I will have them. All of my own…
How many?

Confession of a Bear named Dilo (ONE)

2008-08-25T17:04:00.000+08:00

Ahem. In the name of ahem ahem, Dilo Bear would like to confess to the readers that she is incapable of doing the following things:

1. Writing posts in Burmese language or giving comments in Burmese

>> typing itself is a tedious process, not to mention having to remember the format of the letters and icons on the keyboard. If I were to type out one paragraph then I suppose it is better to kill me than attempting to make me go through such pain and stress! Actually the most important thing is that I am not really good with Burmese language although I can speak it fluently :P woahaha

2. Installing C-Box for readers to give comments

>> Well, the c-box is inaccessible from the place I am stationed for most of the time ! So what is the point of having it when I would hardly be there to keep up with the comments?
So if want to give me comments openly then can do it after the post or if want to tell me secretly (*roll eyes*) then can send to my gmail: dilobear@gmail.com or the more private gmail which most of my frens know of!

3. Changing the banner, blog skin or add addition features to the site
4. Sharing songs so that one click can simply lead to the downloading of the song
5. Sharing Pictures but with the logo of "dilobear" on them so as to prevent Copyrights
6. Installing Burmese fonts onto the blog site

>> Sorry, I really is an IT or pc Idiot! Lolz, will take me ages just to read the instructions, let alone trying them out step by step
So if you notice, I hardly do anything to the site even though I would like to change it according to the season and occasion. No doubt I have a few "experts" who are really pro. I called them the "Blogger- Agent". They knew where and how to go about "renovating" blogs.
Perhaps I should be their agent and help them find "business" on this Blog Renovation! Woahahaaha..well, its just a thought only eh..

So ya.
A thousand apology if I miss to reply your comments. Someday when Dilo has learnt the tactics she shall try out and upgrade this site :D

AVoid negative sources, people, places, things & habbits.

Believe in youself.

Consider things from every angle.

Don't give up and don't give in.

Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come.

Family and friends are hidden treasures; enjoy their riches.

Give more than you planned to.

Hang on to your dreams.

Ignore those who try to discourage you.

Just do it.

Keep trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.

Love yourself first and most.

Make it happen.

Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal.

Open your eyes and see things as they really are.

Practice makes perfect.

Quitters never win and winners never quit.

Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.

Stop procrastinating.

Take control of your own destiny.

Understand yourself in order to better understand others.

Visualize it.

Want it more than anything.

Xcellerate your efforts.

You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can replace YOU.

Zero in on your target and go for it!

reflection!

2008-08-14T18:39:00.000+08:00

often, we look into mirror..and look at our physical appearance..
if hair is out of place, can use comb to smoothen it
if attire is untidy, can change into a new set of freshly iorned one
if the face is dry, can use cream to moisten it

but then..have we really reflected the INNER self upon looking into mirror?

dilo bear also wonders if..

she has done a reflection upon...

the way of thinking, control of the uncontrollable heart, way of behaving..

i wonder..

this we often forget to see and reflect..

i wonder if u have done it..coz..

i realise inner beauty is also as important as outer one :D

The blue Books

2008-08-13T22:07:00.000+08:00

Piglet came running to Pooh and said breathlessly, “Me has something to show you. Guess what?”
Pooh was busy, as usual, so said half-heartedly: “I don’t know Piglet! Why don’t you tell me what have you got in your hands?”

“Öh, I have got your photo in my right hand and the Blue Books in the other!” in between breathes, Piglet continues, panting: “I got them! Finally I did it! Aren’t you proud of me Pooh?”

“As you said, I took you spiritually with me, all these while I am striving hard for it! I hope I did you proud! Hee..”

"Hug Hugs.."said Piglet with a jump and give a beary hug to Pooh!

Piglet was lucky. It took a total of 3 months of writing, 3 months of editing.. Handed in 5th of May and get confirmation on 31st July. Only took Piglet a total of 2 months time for the examination of it..! Handed in the final bound on 13th August..! Aint Piglet a lucky fellower :P..wiiik..weee..

2008-08-13T21:39:00.004+08:00

Its hard..when there come a time ..the time..to say goodbye..
here is a lovely song on this..
Perhaps it may not be soothing on first attempt..but at least it doesn't make goodbye..sounds so bad, so hurting...ahhe..

Time To Say Goodbye
by Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman

Lyrics in English translation (From HERE):

When I'm alone I dream of the horizon and words fail me.There is no light in a room where there is no sunand there is no sun if you're not here with me, with me.From every window unfurls my heart the heart that you have won.Into me you've poured the light,the light that you found by the side of the road.

Time to say goodbye.Places that I've never seen or experienced with you.Now I shall, I'll sail with you upon ships across the seas,seas that exist no more,it's time to say goodbye.

Andrea BocelliWhen you're far away I dream of the horizon and words fail me.And of course I know that you're with me, with me.You, my moon, you are with me.My sun, you're here with me with me, with me, with me.

Time to say goodbye.Places that I've never seen or experienced with you.Now I shall, I'll sail with you upon ships across the seas,seas that exist no more,

BothI'll revive them with you.I'll go with you upon ships across the seas,seas that exist no more,I'll revive them with you.I'll go with you.

You and me.

2008-08-12T09:28:00.002+08:00

Over heard this song in the morning.
Fall in love with it instantly..
I hope that I will get to sing this song to that particular someone..

if fate allows..someday..somehow..somewhen..

when he knows what love is, when he realises his love for me..
because despite everything, I am really thankful and grateful too..for the chance to know him..to have him come into my life..to fall for him, to care for him..to know what love is.. to learn the art of GIVINg..to learn to grow..
Although I have not watched the drama series, I hope to do so soon if my schedule allows.
So here..it is..just sharing..
Hope that you will like it too.

Enjoy:

paying tribute for the 8888..!

2008-08-08T15:58:00.004+08:00

In burmese, this very digit EIGHT is pronounced as "shit"..
hee.. ops..clash of culture!
To us, the true blue burmese, the digit "8" brings to mind the fateful event that took place in 1988...! This date "8.8.88" is known as 8888 to us. This was the RED day where pro-democracy protests erupted in Myanmar. The protests were initiated by the students demanding the restoration of a democratic government in Myanmar. Inspired by the students, government workers, monks and ordinary citizen also joined in the protests. The protests led to the fall of dictatorial regime of General Ne Win but the army took over the power immediately afterwards and ruthlessly ended the movement (quoted from HERE).

Indeed, it had been "shity" as it sounds to be.. I had been young at that time but still cant recall the call of students and the bloodshed shown on Tv and the gossips and rumor spread among the people at that time..
On this day...I will pay tribute here to the protesters who lost their lives. ..to those who participated in this demostrations..believe in JUSTICE..to our rights..and to freedom... In remembrance of and as an honour to students, monks and civilians involved in the largest demonstrations, bloodshed, the people of Burma have ever seen..and experienced before!

The number 8, 八!

2008-08-08T08:19:00.001+08:00

EIGHT is a digit Chinese like to associate themselves with..
The word for "8" (八) in Chinese (pronounced as “ bā ”). It sounds similar to the word which means "prosperity" or "wealth" (发 - short for "发财", pronounced as: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat"..
Hence the fondness for this digit by the Chinese population world wide!
Coincidently, there is also a resemblance between two digits, "88", which represent the shuang xi ('double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 (xi, 'joy', 'happiness')..
So the more the merrier for this digit, be it in car license, handphone number, house number..

ps:
unfortunately, this year 2008, 8.8.2008 is not a consider an auspicious date as this day falls in the month of the "lunar 7th month" where the ghosts and spirits from another world is let out to "visit" this world..so..till another 8.8.8 strikes...again..

8 million dollars toto jackpot! 08 08 08

2008-08-07T23:32:00.000+08:00

This friday, it will be the 8th of august 2008.
It is such indeed a special date (08.08.08), well, not wanting to miss out such a golden chance ..The Singapore pools had came up with an 8 million dollars toto jackpot!
Draws are usually held on Mondays and Thursdays. Although punters could have bought tickets for the draw from last Thursday evening but many are waiting until Thursday or Friday morning to do so. This is because under the system, punters who buy a Toto ticket before the weekly Monday 4.30pm draw must enter numbers for two consecutive draws, that is, Monday's and this Friday's. This would split their chances of winning. If they buy it after the Monday draw, their numbers will apply only to the Friday draw, so their chances of striking it rich will increase.

Anyway, the sales will close on the 8th august at 9 pm!
So there is still time to try your luck if you have not!

GOOD LUCK..You will have to wait until 3008 for another '08.08.08'. ..!

from-me-to-U

2008-08-07T23:19:00.001+08:00

Being a bubbly, talkative and too dependent DiloBear..who wants care and concern occassionally, remembrance frequently ..its really hard..
But
I have really tried... for this period of time..
Put in a lot alot effort and will power...
to give my understanding, silent and the peace you would seek to have..!

I hope you are happy and well

but it seems..sometime when given "ALL IN"...to mold into something that one can never be...it seem some character will have to go..to welcome for the newer ones..umm

how u wana c..

2008-07-29T18:10:00.000+08:00

It's all about perspective .

Its your view that counts..
if u think positively...no matter what the person does, you will like it..
However
Once you have negative opinion of him or her,
there is no way you can accept his actions or behaviors..
hoat?

when we say nothing at all..

2008-07-28T23:20:00.000+08:00

后来, There after,
我们甚至不再说话了, we did not say anything anymore
不再睁开眼睛, no more looking up
不再在乎对方在做什么，nor caring of what each other might be busy with
想什么？no longer caring to read each other thoughts
后来，Thereafter　
我们甚至睡着了，we gradually fall asleep
幸福的不知不觉的睡着了..... in happiness and contentment.. ~

Poem and picture adapted from Jimmy

Well, sometimes silence can be golden..
There is no need for more meet-up, words, phone calls or sms..
It become pointless to exchange words or keep in touch..
What is being replaced are those intangible things: understanding and the remembrance… missing, memories and those once-upon-a-time-good-old-feelings.. goodbye and see u..again ~

My childish thoughts!

2008-07-25T14:40:00.001+08:00

I want to be someone's last call of the night and their first thought in the morning. Likewise, he would be my last thought and first thing that came into my mind when I wake up. I want to be able to think of him beside me even after we parted. I want to look at him and see my future and destiny in him. I want those hour long conversations that end in 'no, you hang up first'. I want the heart racing, palm sweaty, 'what's gonna happen next moments’ feelings. I want the hugs that you never want to let go of and twitching and tinkling emotions during kissing. I want to experience those stolen kisses that are always the sweetest. But most importantly, I just want to know that someone considers me as his. I am his, for him to keep, care for and loved ..for now and always.

Perhaps once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life...love does give us fairytale one can dream of. Indeed, to love someone is to risk not being loved in return. To have hope and expectation is to risk pain and getting disappointment. To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest obstacle in life is to risk nothing.. maybe we should all try..for once..

congrats!

2008-07-24T09:00:00.000+08:00

I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulation for those seniors and friends who are going to celebrate on this day (24th July 2008) for convocation on their successful completion of graduation and convocation!!. Cheers! I'm so glad you guys had toiled through years of hardship for this day..!!

2008-07-23T13:12:00.001+08:00

“sometime, you may be physically near him but you can actually feel so far away from him..
yet at times, you may be continents apart but still can feel so close at heart..!"..
Indeed..in TRUE Love the smallest distance is too Great, and the greatest distance can be bridged..
May there be no distance between lovers..to pull them apart..to feel far far apart

A Way Gyi (So Far Away) by Myo Kyawt Myaing

Sam started using the most horrible language -- things I'd never heard before!
I mean all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to take me home! Please mama!"Sarah, Sarah", her mother said, "calm down!
You need to stay with your husband and work this out.
Now, tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?""Please don't make me tell you mama," wept the daughter.
I'm so embarrassed, they're just too awful! Come get me, please!""Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset.
