Do me a favour. Look around and locate something that’s green. If you’re in the car, you may see a
green light or a green car. Whatever the cause, I’ll bet you didn’t have much
trouble, did you?
I read an article on this topic, the writer wrote something like this; his two good friends, Les and Leslie Parrott, often used that experiment in their seminars and their point
is, it’s not hard to find something if you’re looking for it. They explain that that’s true in marriages as well.
Everyone has flaws and couples often tend to look for the bad in each other. If you think your spouse
is lazy, you’ll find yourself looking for actions that prove your point. If you think they’re
deceitful, you’ll find ways not to trust them. Whatever you have in your mind, you’ll find evidence to support it.
The key to building a strong marriage is to focus on the good, instead of the bad. You’re bound to
find whatever you look for, so why not look for something positive? And don’t forget to
praise them when you find it.
FISH SPA
July 5th, 2008 by chungfiona
On 5 July 2008 at afternoon, my fiance and I went to try fish spa at Chinatown. It was a promotion package. They provided 30minutes for foot and hand fish spa with addition 10 minutes on shoulder massage. Both of us decided to try the package. We cleaned our feet with a basic of clean water then stepped into the pool with ‘Doctor Fishes’. I could see the fishes (Garra rufa) swam towards my feet. I began to squirm and giggle. These tiny toothless Turkish spa fish, of the Garra rufa species, nibble
off the dead skin on your hands and feet, leaving healthy skin to grow. What is the feeling like? Something between hundreds of tweezers and tiny suction cups gently pecking at your feet.
According to enthusiasts, the feeding sessions by these 9cm- to
12cm-long fish can leave you feeling massaged, glowing and with
improved skin. Many people also believe that the Doctor Fish therapy can cure
problems like psoriasis, a disease that causes red, scaly patches to
appear on the skin.
Well, this was true. My leg and sole are smoother and lighten. My hands are soft, dedicated and smoother too.

To stay or To accept offer
March 8th, 2008 by chungfionaTo stay or To accept offer to another Dept.
Being an front liner wasn’t my aspiration however I take it as learning experience in my 3 years stint in ground experience with interaction with member of public.
So, what is my aspiration in the line?
I want to be in forensic IT of the field and as well as forensic psychologist.
Humm, can it be reach to that stage?
I have no idea and neither I had planned or foresee it.
In these 3 years, I achieved many praises and award in my career. Fom a small fry to a group leader. Then, become elite person in the team but it lasted short. As, I was ‘forced’ to accept new challenge in next step to my high career. I did refuse the offer to the new Dept as commitment may hinder the unfinished business. They poured me with reasons of, U are different from the rest, best achiever and have high potential for the career.
Undauntless with reasons, I slowly accepted the offer in my current job scope. I see wider scope of people. I pen my ultimate reason for the wrong-doing to ‘temporary’ no freedom with ultimate penalty.
There’s a saying: A pen fight mighty than sword.
Well, not fallacy.
angels brought me here
December 21st, 2007 by chungfiona
It’s been a long and winding journey
But I’m finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces
Walking back into the light
To the sunset of your glory
Where my heart and future lies
There’s nothing like that feeling
When I look into your eyes
My dreams came true
When I found you
I found you, my miracle
If you could see what I see
That you’re the answer to my prayers
And if you can feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
Standing here before you
Feels like I’ve been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name
My dreams came true
Right here in front of you
My miracle
If you could see what I see
You’re the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
Brought me here to be with you
I’d be forever grateful (oh forever grateful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle
If you could see what I see
You’re the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
If you could see what I see
You’re the answer to my prayers
If you could feel
The tenderness I feel
You would know
It would be clear
That angels brought me here
Here comes the sun
November 13th, 2007 by chungfionaHere comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say
it’s all right
Little darlin’ it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little
darlin’ it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here
comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Little darlin’ the smiles
returning to their faces
Little darlin’ it seems like years since it’s been
here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun,
sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes
Little darlin’ I feel the ice is slowly meltin’
Little darlin’ it
seems like years since it’s been clear
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
It’s
all right, it’s all right

20 tips to happy world
July 23rd, 2007 by chungfionaTip 1
Make happiness a priority. If happiness is not at the top of your list
then other things will take precedence. If other things take
precedence, they may well interfere with your efforts to feel good.
Tip 2
Make plans to be happy. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Just like
in any other life domain, the successful pursuit of happiness requires
planning.
Tip 3
Set happy goals. Following on from Tip 2, planning requires effective
goal setting. And don’t forget to make sure your goals are SMART
(specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed).
Tip 4
Do things that make you happy. Although this sounds obvious, many
people simple forget to do things from which they gain pleasure. And do
them as often as possible.
Tip 5
Set yourself tasks from which you’ll gain satisfaction. As well as
pleasure and enjoyment, satisfaction is also an important part of
happiness. So make sure that when you’re planning your tasks and
activities you include things that might not be fun, but
from which you’ll gain a sense of achievement.
Tip 6
Play and have fun. Don’t take life too seriously. Although we all have
responsibilities there’s no reason why we can’t approach much of our
lives in a playful manner. In fact, those who do so will undoubtedly be
happier.
Tip 7
Identify where your strengths lie. Know where your faults and
weaknesses are to avoid problems. Know where your strengths lie to be
really happy and to succeed in life.
Tip 8
Utilise your strengths. Although we all can and should endeavour to
improve in areas in which we’re weak there’s just as much, if not more,
to be gained from focusing on the maximal utilisation of your strengths
(including all your positive qualities and attributes).
Tip 9
Be curious. Constantly search for new ways to be happy. Keep a look out for new ways to approach life and to have fun.
Tip 10
Be grateful and appreciate what you have. We all have many choices in
life one of which is whether to focus on all the things we don’t have
(of which there might be many), or to focus on all the things we do
have. There’s no doubt, that gratitude and appreciation will
significantly increase your chances of experiencing happiness.
Tip 11
Learn to like and ideally to love yourself. We must love before we can
be loved. To love others and to be loved by others is a key component
of happiness.
Tip 12
Invest time and energy in to your key relationships. Happy people spend
more time working on and in their relationships. Happy people tend to
be more supportive of other people in their life. Happy people are more
generous and altruistic.
Tip 13
Socialise and interact with others as much as possible. Happy people
have both more and better quality relationships. So as well as working
to improve the quality of your relationships (as noted in Tip 12) it’s
also worthwhile working to improve the number of your
relationships.
Tip 14
Weed out unhelpful thoughts. The Dalai Lama has been quoted saying that
“The central method for achieving a happier life is to train your mind
in a daily practice that weakens negative attitudes and strengthens
positive ones.” Learn first to identify your
thoughts and then begin to challenge those that are negative and unhelpful.
Tip 15
Plant happier, optimistic thoughts. As noted in Tip 14, there are two
parts to developing helpful, optimistic thinking. The first is to weed
out unhelpful negative thoughts and the second is to plant more
positive, optimistic ones. This is essentially a skill, and like any
other skill becomes easier and more effective with practice.
Tip 16
Live a healthy life. Eat well and keep active. Exercise regularly.
Although not impossible, it’s difficult to be happy if you’re
constantly sick and not very healthy.
Tip 17
Ensure you gain adequate sleep and rest. Consistent with Tip 16, it’s
difficult to be happy if you’re constantly tired and struggling to find
enough energy to get through the day. To assist with this, regularly
practice relaxation and/or meditation strategies.
Tip 18
Manage your time and priorities. Happy people tend to believe they’re
more in control of their lives. In doing so, they’re more likely to
take an active approach to solving problems. If something’s not quite
right in your life, do something. And further, make sure
that what you’re doing is important. Put first things first.
Tip 19
Control what you can control. Accept what you can’t control. And learn to be wise enough to know the difference.
Tip 20
Live in the present moment. The author, Henry Miller once said “Every
moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognise it as
such.” The only moment in which we can truly be happy is the present
moment. The only moment over which we
have control is the present moment. So be happy now! Because if not now, then when?
Tip 21 – an EXTRA tip to make you happy!
Make happiness an integral part of your life. Develop happiness
routines and make them a part of your every day living. Remind yourself
however you can to do what you need to do and reward yourself as often
as possible for doing what you’ve done.
