A carrot, an egg, and a cup of Oolong tea…

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of Oolong tea…

You will never look at a cup of Oolong the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed Oolong tea. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the Oolong out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."

"Carrots, eggs, and Oolong tea," she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.

The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the Oolong. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

The Oolong tea was unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water color and taste.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a Oolong tea?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the Oolong tea? The tea actually changes the hot water,the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot,it releases the fragrance and flavor.

If you are like the tea, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?

Are you a carrot, an egg or a Oolong tea?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

(hmmm.. y oolong of all tea? i wonder. hehe.. anyway, hope this make sense to u. hepi reading, and have a greeeat, stress-free weekend, ppl! argh! the weather is making my system goin all weirdy! =( hehe...)

Bloggers warned of price to pay

(from the star online)

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government's policy from the start has been not to intervene in the use of the Internet by people, including bloggers, who are free to use cyberspace to do "proper things", said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

However, the Umno vice-president said that if irresponsible bloggers go overboard in their Internet postings, the Government would be forced to step in.

"If they go overboard and insult, slander and break the laws, they will not get away scot-free. No one is above the law.

"Whether in the alam maya (cyberworld) or the alam nyata (physical world), people cannot simply write whatever they want, especially if it touches on religion, culture, the Rulers' position or the Constitution. These will be monitored," he said.

The opposition parties were also free to set up their own websites and blogs, but the same rule applied to them, he added.

"We are a democratic country but it does not mean that anyone can do whatever they want, including break the laws.

"For postings that insult (religion and the King), there are laws that can be used against the culprits," said Muhyiddin, who is also Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister, after launching the four-day Malaysia International Machinery Fair 2007 at the Putra World Trade Centre yesterday.

it's complicated.

(stil cudnt sleep! the result of bathing in the middle of the nite la!)

anwy, why do some ppl chose to put their stat as "it's complicated" in frenster. haha... it sometimes made me wonder (especially when im too overly free or moody) how complicated can it be? hehe...

but im sure each has their own COMPLICATED story to tell.

and, (forgive me, its gona be long again, this post). and it reminded me of how when i broke up with my ex yearS ago, i was in my 1st uni year then - i wrote my 'story' to a magazine. and if ur lucky, they mite just chuz ur story as the winner of the monthly prize. neh, the section where readers write stuffs related to the mag's previously-discussed-topics and if chosen, will be featured in a page.

NOTE: the editor will choose SOME letters that they thought is worthy and published em all in ONE page. so, the writers will get a tiny lil space for their stories, eg. 5 or 8 SHORT letters in 1 page? somehow, mine DID NOT manage to win anyting, meaning to say, my letter a.k.a. my story wasnt good enuf to win their heart for that month's prize (what was tat, i cant remember tho. din expect to win anywy).

but my intention of writing in wasnt to win anything la.. duh! was 'fresh-from-the-oven' break-up, and was just writing in to tel SOMEBODY whom i do not know, and vice versa of my feelings then. (cudnt trust a single soul to share my story with! heheh... very secretive ler me? hehe...)

anyway, when i was reading all the stories in that page, i was dissapointed cos mine wasnt at all featured. wad more to say win! LOL... cos its USUALLY all-in-one page kinda thing nia mar.

that page, i did not win antg, was not featured in any of the 5 to 8 short letters there, BUT! to my surprise, haha... when i flip over to the next page, my letter was published in ONE FULL PAGE! haha... single page only lar. but full page leh! with my oh-so-simple manglish! i was soooooo shocked! (AND I ONLY KNEW ABOUT MY LETTER BEING PUBLISHED WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME DESIGN REFERENCES FROM A STACK OF OLD MAGAZINES KEPT IN THE OLD CUPBOARD IN MY PORCH! magazines which were bot by my elder sis some more! LOL! so u can imagine how shocked i was wen i came across that FAMILIAR LOOKING letter!!)

so, wen the letter was published, the incident was wayyyy over already. was sooo lafing my head out reading it then (in my car porch)! cos i was the one asking for the break, yet i cud stil come up with a 'story to tell'?? haha. i amazed myself! haha... many many many ppl din know about tis, i gues, only 3 person including myself knew about it then. haha... tol 2 very close pals about it - but only wen the mag cudnt be bought from the market! haha. so now, everyone who reads this knows. haha... and many of whom, din even know about me having a bf then! hahaha... LOL> no big deal la.

surprised huh? how a stupid lil story can be featured full page! haha.. but too bad, i kept my email in my previous mailbox, which is no longer active (was sent to the editor via email). my sis (elder sis) wud 'kill' me wen she reads this! hahaha.... sorry la, i myself oso wish i can read the letter now, but cannot be retrieved liau. hehe. too bad.

guess this showed 2 things.

1. i am a "sweet" person, aint i? who on earth writes their break-up story n get published, rite? (LOL... I AM seriously JUST KIDDING!)

ok ok. seriously. i guess it showed 1 thing.

~ i am good at writing... (SUPER long, broken-english stuffs like this one too), aint i? hehehehee....(ya, i know that! LOL) ~

* many wud feel like cekik-ing me now, im sure. hahaha... LOL. cheers, ppl! and take care!

(had a few of us googled for its pronounciation! LOL)

3. a fren asked me, "What's LOVE and What it means to you? Define it to me from a woman's point of view." my gudiness, if i were to answer this, i'd be writing another essay of my own. haha... and nobody, i am VERY SURE nobody wud be interested to read. so, gues i just have to say, it meant different things to different ppl. so, i am not in the right shoe to comment? hehe (to define it from a SINgle girl's p.o.v... hmmm, not so wise, dont u think??)

4. aiyoooo... im reaching office later than late everyday (from 9am to 910am to 920am to 930am and record, 940am) and im sleeping 'earlier' day by day! chamm! gota change this habit la!

AIR PURIFIER INSIDE TAXIS

(from a fwded mail. pls read).

No matter the taxi driver is chinese, malay or indian, PLEASE BE AWARE!

If you notice that there is a sound of spray of perfume or air purifier inside the taxi, PLEASE GET DOWN from the TAXI IMMEDIATELY!! It just happened to me just now. It was about 12.45am.

I got into a taxi driven by a malay man. I was in the taxi for a few minutes, I suddenly heard of a sound of spray and there was a smell like air purifier. I felt wierd as to why the driver put two types of air purifiers in his taxi. The smell immediately reminded me about this forwarded email that I read.

I started to be aware of my surroundings. But the puff of the purifier kept appears every few minutes. I was very worried and scared. Gradually, I sensed that my body started to feel weaker and weaker. The purifier kept puffing from the back seat, just right behind me. As I really felt my whole body is weaken, I asked the driver to let me get down at the side road. But he kept trying to talk to me and ask me why not dropping me off at my destination. I think he was trying to drag the time.

To my horror, I felt both of my hands and legs got numbed and no energy, almost could not move. When I talked to the driver, I could not even speak properly, not to say to shout for help, 'cos I was really too weak.

Immediately, I opened the door and ran to passer-by for help. I really thank God for saving me. If not, I really can't imagine what would have happened to me. I am traumised by this incident.

This is TRUE case. Please do keep in mind! IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!

I feel the need to share with you guys, no matter you are men or women 'cos it is NOT a LIE , not a made-up story. It really happened. Do let your friends, family members and relatives know about this case. I believe you are just like me, don't wish anybody to be the victim of this case. "Pls be aware when aboard to a taxi, especially the ladies."

I received a email some months ago about a lady getting into a cab and felt uneasy and become faint when she smelt something like incense being burnt. She was smart enough to order the taxi to stop immediately and after throwing some money at the taxi man quickly get out of the taxi. She later got to know that if she had not stopped the taxi and gotten out, she would have fainted and raped by the taxi man (or a gang of rapists)!

After reading this, I thought maybe this was one of those emails that you would read and just forget about it, but I was wrong!

Few weeks ago, a visitor to our Chinese church who stayed in Puchong got into a taxi driven by an Indian man. When she sat into the taxi, there was a little burner and she could smell incense burning in the taxi. After awhile, she felt weak and unable to speak or shout. The Indian taxi man drove to a lonely road where there was hardly anyone and raped her.

Before she was completely knocked out, she was told by the taxi guy that she was his number six victim. She was not only raped but also robbed! When she was conscious again, she quickly went to see! a doctor.

The sad thing is, the doctor knew she was raped but did not advise her what to do. The doctor just let her make the decision to make or not to make a police report. Since she does not know the rapist name and also the taxi number and in great fear after this trauma, she told the doctor that she would not dare to report to the polis.

The doctor said since she dare not make the report, he would just have to destroy the medical report! Because the rapist took her whole bag with her IC in it, he got her address and even has the guts to come straight to her house and try to be funny with her.

Please remember not to get into a taxi that smells funny and if possible don't get into a taxi alone, and if you have to do so, give a call or sms back to your friends or relatives and let them know the taxi registration number and if possible, the name of the taxi man.

AND OPEN THE WINDOW!

through a rapist's eyes

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1) The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed . They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2) The second thing men look for is clothing . They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly . Many of them carry scissors around specifically to cut clothing.

3) They also look for women on their cell phone , searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5:00am. and 8:30a.m.

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store parking lots . Number two is office parking lots/garages . Number three is public restrooms .

6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged>because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9) These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands. Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following>behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: "I can't believe it is so cold out here", "we're in for a bad winter." Now you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.

11) If someone is coming toward you , hold out your hands in front of you and yell STOP or STAY BACK! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would>not be afraid to fight back . Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes), yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and>holding it out will be a deterrent.

13) If someone grabs you , you can't beat them with strength but you can>by outsmart ing them . If you are grabbed around the waist from behind,>pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit OR in the upper inner thigh VERY VERY HARD . One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore>out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it hurts.

14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN . I know from a>particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he's out of there.

15) When the guy puts his hands up to you , grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down>on them as possible . The instructor did it to me without using much>pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any>odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!! You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

King Arthur & the Witch

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

Arthur would have ayear to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?

What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged. The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified.

She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered.... is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered agreat truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened? The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?

The moral is.....

If you don't let a woman have her own way....Things are going to get ugly.
