Will this matter in a year from now?

In facebook, there is an application called "Message from God" that each day there will be different meaningful message from God delivered to us. Today's message is truly match with my queries that God sent out a message :

''On this day of your life, Lina, we believe God wants you to know ... that your remedy for anxiety is the question: 'Will this matter in a year from now?''

All the while, i have always think too much even to a little problem. I worry a lot till tonnes of another worries or anxiety existed in my mind. Some people will call it 'being too sensitive'. Sometimes, anxiety is just depend on how we cope it.

Many times i look at my life like a microscope. Keen on focusing at a small problems or issues and enlarging it to see the reasons or other possibilities behind the small problems. I thought it was a necessarily to find out every possibilities for the occurrence.

However, this morning, God's message to me that 'Will this matter in a year from now?' The question makes me stuck in a moment. Does this really matter after a year? Sometimes we need to put down the microscope and imagine ourselves a year from now looking back at today. 'Does this really matter?'

My MSN Display Name

))**((&&%%^^$$##@@!!!!!!!

ehem, yes, above shows my current display name in my MSN (Windows Live Messenger). What is your first opinion towards the name? =D

Actually, i got this display name by copycat a friend's display name. I found the name 'special' and purposely copy it to 'kacau' her. muahahaha.....

Well, the first feedback i got after the change of display name was....

"Ah, you copy me! I thought i was talking to myself" by Miss Tang a.k.a. Miss Durian

"Your name is so cute" by Miss Jen, a great swimmer in future

"Lina, is that you? I thought it was virus. Almost want to delete you." by Mr. Chung, a good MC

In the end, before all my friends thought i was an 'msn virus', i change back my name to my actual name. Muahahaha.... xD

Vegetarian Fish

Have you ever eaten vegetarian fish (素鱼) before? At my working place, my colleagues and i having vegetarian fish at least once a week.This is due to that my boss are vegetarian.  The fish is made of tofu, bean curd and seaweed.

Below is the raw look of the fish when it is not cooked:

Inside are the tofu, which is being frozen in the fridge for one day. After that, the frozen tofu is being wrapped by seaweed followed by the bean curd.

Here is the outcome when the fish is cooked:

The fish is cooked by my brother Justin Yong. Normally, the fish is cooked with tomato sauce (with some spices) or it is cooked with curry. Yummy! It taste nice and crunchy!You may try to make this dish too!

Teachers' Day

During the previous three years, i used to be a part time tutor at tuition centre and it was my wonderful memory during teaching - mixing with the students around and doing what i like to do. It was fantastic when we are able to share our knowledge with the next generation. "It is more blessed to give than to receive". ^.^

This year i am having a unique Teacher's Day. I thought i wouldn't receive any wishes due to that i am no longer in teaching profession. It is blessed that i met my old students back in facebook. Thanks for my former students wishes and thanks to a friend for brighten up my days with Teacher's Day gifts. =)

Email

Believe it or not, i've never used email system to chat with friends although i had my email address since year 2004. Most of the time, i use email to forward emails sent by friends, formal communication such as communication related to work, school, or club matters.

 Until this year, i have a friend who is very used to email chatting, and there.... i start to chat using email too. I slowly fall in love especially into google email whereby we can chat instantly when see the person online. The good thing about google chat is 1st:  it is convenient (instant chatting just like windows live messenger - msn), 2nd it is not easily visible (especially when we want to *snake around during work... hehehehe.... let's keep this quiet, okay? hehehe)

I've also found out the yahoo email also has similar function whereby we can chat instantly as well, but it does not look too user friendly for me. Therefore, i go for gmail.... and yeah! Gmail is a good email system, not much spam and big space for us to store our mails!

It's Time to have a Spot Check!

Gotcha! Does it bring back your memory during secondary school life on spot check by the prefects? ::D
I was a prefect during secondary school and yes, i spot check students' bag when received orders. And today, after few years of my secondary school life, im back to spot check, this activity, not to spot check students' bag again, but to check my resolution list set early in January. Let see.......

I have set nine goals in this year, and among the nine goals, i have achieved three!
(1) Getting CL in Toastmasters - Finally, i received my CL pin in last workshop and my CL certificate post by today! Hooray!

(2) Learn Photoshop - There is a slight change on this goal. Instead of learning photoshop, my teacher has suggested to learn Swish Max 2, which is another software for learning computer animation and arts. The software is slightly easier to use compared to Photoshop. Still in learning progress. A lot to pick up due to my slow learning in this.


(3) Getting myself a shoes cupboard - Yes! I got it during CNY. A simple and nice for me to hold my shoes.

There are still seven months to go for me to catch up for the other six resolutions. Glory to God for all the above resolutions achieved.
