Finally!
Dear 忠實讀者
Blogspot has been down for past few occasions when I tried religiously to make a new posting. Tried and tried. Almost gave up...
Fortunately, I have friends like you who are willing to be my "忠實讀者”。I call them my brothers ;)
After 2 weeks of frustrations, now that I can finally put up a picture, I have forgotten what I had wanted to blog about in the first place!
Anyway, here's a picture taken near my place. Hope to continue my blogging.. and not let laziness get the better of me.
See you soon!

5 excuses
Hello friends
Thanks for dropping by!
Sorry if you've been coming by and not seeing any new postings around here on atomic donut recently.
I've been asked how come there's no new entry here.
Well, well... there could be several possible reasons contributing to it. Let me see..
Firstly, there seems to be some technical issue of uploading pictures online on my end (really). I've been trying for a couple of days but to no avail :(
Secondly, I've been a little busy putting together a photo album for a wedding client recently.
And then, I've not been feeling too energetic recently (was ill actually, first time in many months, quite an achievement for me, considering that I used to fall sick very often back then, heh).
Also, because of reason no. 3, got not much inspirations to write lah.
Last but not least.. I'm simply being lazy (the real reason, perhaps, LOL).
Anyway.. as for the technical bug, will try again for next few days, hope it'll soon work out fine. Too bad this entry will have to do without any picture.
Meanwhile... thanks for your support.

Mind The Gap
I am reminded of "Sliding Doors", a movie I watched several years back.
The movie cleverly presents two parallel lives of the protagonist - one if she just manages to board the train in the subway, and one if she just misses it.
It is very interesting to see how, throughout the movie, two vastly different outcomes unfold in each scenario.
Imagine: What if one split second sends your life in two completely different directions?
Have you ever wondered - What if a certain decision in your life had been made differently in the past?
What if you had chosen to pursue a different education, or career path? What if you had gone to a different school? And what if you were hired by a different company?
What if you had not gone for the party where you would eventually meet your other half? What if you had decided to attend another party?! What if you had married a different person?!
Would your life still be the same now? What if??
Or is everything predestined in life?
Jewel Babes
Shot an event over the weekend at the Tent@Orchard, Civic Plaza, outside Ngee Ann City. Called "Around The World - Jewellery Show 2009", it was organized by Forever Jewels, a prominent local jewellery manufacturer and design company.
The 3-day showcase featured jewellery in different themes ("Out of Africa", "Mystery of the Orient", "City Lights", and "Ultramarine"). There was a colourful fashion runway show, featuring the various collections.

Remembering MJ
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
For you are not alone...
(Lyrics of "You Are Not Alone" by MJ)

Riding Life

33°C
The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on
The shadows are on the darker side
Behind those doors, it's a wilder ride
You can make a break, you can win or lose
That's a chance you take, when the heat's on you
When the heat is on
(Song by Glenn Frey)
Ray of Hope
Most people got soul if they wanna try
Let love be your goal and let it fly
Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line
But error is human forgiveness is divine
I know a lot of people who think like me
That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony
First there's a lot of things we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies
So peace can come and truth shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope
(Lyrics of "Ray of Hope" by The Rascals)

I Love You
I love you
You love me
We're a happy FAMILY
with a great big hug
and a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too!
I love you
You love me
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too!
(FAMILY=Father And Mother, I Love You!)

You'll Never Walk Alone
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
(R. Rogers/O. Hammerstein II)
Dedicated to my dear friend K.A.S.
On this very special day of hers
May today and everyday
be filled with love and hope
for everyone in her family
Happy Birthday A.S.! :)

The Donkey
One day, a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Afternoon Delight
An afternoon delight for today
Come out to makan, joke and play
For today's Manda's day
Reminisced about new and old times
Robinsons, DFI and APMI
Celebrities gossip, when's the chimes
Grapevine says there's some dismay
Toil and toil, oh hair so gray
Time to move on, not to stay
In a flash, see how times fly
Little chicks take to the skies
RSAF eats the humble pies
Glad to see all doing fine
Till we meet again the next time
As we look forward to Mandy's little guy
Come out to makan, joke and play

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go
Singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye Blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll be home late tonight
Blackbird bye bye

活在當下。
有個小和尚,每天早上負責清掃寺廟院子裡的落葉。
清晨起床掃落葉,實在是一件苦差事, 尤其是在秋冬之際, 每一次起風時, 樹葉總隨風飛舞落下, 到處都是。
小和尚每天早上都需要花費許多時間, 才能清掃完樹葉, 這讓小和尚頭痛不已。 他一直想要找個好辦法讓自己輕鬆些。
有一天, 這個小和尚想出了一個好辦法, 於是隔天他起了個大早, 使勁地摇樹, 這樣他就可以把今天跟明天的落葉一次掃乾淨了, 一整天小和尚都非常開心。
弟二天, 小和尚到院子裡一看, 他不禁愣住了。 院子裡如往日一樣, 落葉滿地。
老師的悄悄話:
無論你今天怎麼用力摇樹, 明天的落葉還是會飄下來。
世上有很多事是無法提前的, 唯有認真的活在當下, 才是最真實的人生態度。
明天如果有煩惱, 你今天也許無法解決。 每一天都有每一天的人生功課要交, 努力做好今天的功課再說吧!
