Beautiful Roselleeeeee

Yeah... my roselle had grown flower looks like blossom (梅花) leh! Then i decided to move the plant from the pot to the ground soil. Hope it will grow bigger & more fruity.

The roselle is a species of hibiscus used for the production of bast fibre and as an infusion.

In Malaysia we call asam paya or asam susur . In Chinese it is 洛神花 (Luo Shen Hua) .

Roselle calyces are harvested fresh to produce pro-health drink due to high contents of vitamin C. Hisbiscus drinks is easy to made by boiling dried calyces of the flower in water for 8 to 10 minutes (or until the water turns red), then adding sugar. It is often served chilled. It can also made into cocktails with additional rum or process into jam.

I went to see this show with my son. . an awesome movie, i wasn't a big fan of MJ but i'm telling myself that i can't miss this show . I was dazzled by his rehearsals & he was dancing like he was years ago.

I loved seeing Michael at work and how he related to all the dancers and musicians. I saw for myself his level of enthusiasm and happiness in putting this production together.

I loved the ending when he does that MJ stance with outstretched arms.

Thanks MJ for uniting the world in your music.

明眼穴 - 重要又好用！

明眼穴 讓您不只擁有’滿天彩霞”, 還有”美麗夕陽”…


这是 一位60多岁的师兄和我分享的，他原有老花及近视，做这个穴道按压半年后去验视力已达1.2，现在他已不带眼镜。有空就按压明眼穴。祝您健康！

舒缓眼睛疲劳的妙方 : 明眼穴

上了年纪。容易老花眼，试试看明眼穴的按摩，保证您会耳聪目明。工作离不开电脑的人，需要这个妙方！假如我们常常感到眼睛疲劳，但又不是睡眠的时间，这时我们可以利用穴道按摩法，来舒缓眼睛疲劳的症状。在我们的拇指上有三个相邻接的穴道，分别是明眼、凤眼、大空骨（如上图）。

明眼、凤眼能够改善眼睛疲劳和急性结膜炎，大空骨则可改善一切有关眼睛的症状。平时眼睛容易疲劳的人，每天要刺激这三个穴道两次。刺激的方法是，用另一手的拇指和食指夾住，以拇指的指甲分別对着三个穴道施予刺激，只要以稍微感觉到疼痛程度的力气来指压即可。这是项简单的按摩方法，当工作的休息时间，或是等车的空档，任何时间均可自行操作。眼睛疲劳往往不容易入睡的人，如果施予上述 的刺激来消除眼睛的疲劳，便可轻易入睡，以上的方法还可以抑制老人性的白内障。

希望大家天天健康！

take a break

After sent all the accounting doc for audit, i'm ..sort of quite relax & taking a break. Recently I have browsed thru' the net on MCA political matters (oh it's horrrrrrible), facebooking (frenz updating), and the most inspired me was the food receipe's blog. Those food lovers & love-to-cook blogger, they are marvelous where they have shared many receipies, cooking mathods & even photos uploaded step by step ...wow and also sharing the foods & moments with their peers. I have bookmark some of them & even tried out to cook such as chicken rendang, and char siu (叉烧). It turned out mm..not too bad! For char siu, I've use oven to cook rather than previously i used to fried them in hot wok (coz don't hv oven yet). The result turned out much better with oven.

We had this 'fat kou' for the afternoon tea at our pargola....yeah it's breezy & drizzling !

Later, we went to our neighbour - Mr & Mrs Ravi Deepavali's open house. We met more of others neighbour where we have a great food & good chat.

Carrot cake & Chocolate brownies

Hey, i have made it - my 1st ever carrot cake. Yesterday I have baked a carrot cake & brownies for the Tzu-chi (慈济） member's mid-autum fest. Really appreciate them for their hardwork in charity work done through out the year. Am not active involved, only once a while helping on recycle activities & monthly donation contribution to them. Hopefully 1 day can give more helping hands.

Finally my house's patio was up last week where we can have another corner to hang arround . We can have our breakfast outside...surf the net....have a tea break in the afternoon (provided it was a cloudy & breezy day :) . One more thing, can call for another round of party gathering...mmm...maybe barbecue but too bad do not have a barbecue set yet :-(

Mid Autumn festival 家好月圆庆中秋

happy to get together my family , nephew , niece & frienz at my house for the mooncake fest. nite. As usual i have cook chicken rice for them & some other stuff.

Eventho' my cooking was not as delicious but i like the feel of everybody get together especially during this festive.

Finally the HK show of 家好月圆庆中秋 is going to end soon.. a very nice show indeed !

放 下

明白它们,你会发现你的人生在改变^^ 人之所以痛苦，在于追求错误的东西。 如果你不给自己烦恼，别人也永远不可能给你烦恼。因为你自己的内心，你放不下。好好的管教你自己，不要管别人。
你什么时候放下，什么时候就没有烦恼。 每一种创伤，都是一种成熟。 当你烦恼的时候，你就要告诉你自己，这一切都是假的，你烦恼什么？ 根本不必回头去看咒骂你的人是谁，如果有一条疯狗咬你一口，难道你也要趴下去反咬他一口吗？忌妒别人，不会给自己增加任何的好处。忌妒别人，也不可能减少别人的成就。
时间总会过去的，让时间流走你的烦恼吧！ 不要因为小小的争执，远离了你至亲的好友，也不要因为小小的怨恨，忘记了别人的大恩。感谢上苍我所拥有的，感谢上苍我所没有的。当你手中抓住一件东西不放时，你只能拥有这件东西，如果你肯放手，你就有机会选择别的。人的心若死执自己的观念，不肯放下，那么他的智慧也只能达到某种程度而已。
如果你能够平平安安的渡过一天，那就是一种福气了。多少人在今天已经见不到明天的太阳，多少人在今天已经成了残废，多少人在今天已经失去了自由，多少人在今天已经家破人亡。 恶口永远不要出自于我们的口中，不管他有多坏，有多恶。
你不要常常觉得自己很委曲，你应该要想，他对我这样已经很好了，这就是修行的功夫。世界原本就不是属于你，因此你用不着抛弃，要抛弃的是一切的执著。万物皆为我所用，但非我所属。学会用理解的，欣赏的眼光去看对方，而不是以自以为是的关心去管对方。成熟的人不问过去；聪明的人不问现在；豁达的人不问未来。发光并非太阳的专利，你也可以发光。 你可以用爱得到全世界，你也可以用恨失去全世界。
爱的力量大到可以使人忘记一切，却又小到连一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容纳。 人总是珍惜未得到的，而遗忘了所拥有的。

改变

心若改變 你的態度跟著改變
態度改變 你的習慣跟著改變
習慣改變 你的性格跟著改變
性格改變 你的人生跟著改變

又是。。。一个 人生

人生，是一個存在的過程。

是一個不以生為始，不以死為終的過程。

考驗我們的不是生死，是那個漫長的過程。

過程中，你如何待人處事，卻深深影響終點。

何謂四要

想要是一種痛苦的事、
需要是一種快樂的事。

想要和需要僅僅是一線之隔，有時候想要的，往往不是真的需要。的確，我想要很多東西，可是再仔細考慮一下，就不見得非要不可了。想要的東西得到了是很快樂，而要不到卻很痛苦。比如說：我需要一頂帽子，也買了一頂帽子，這不是累贅。但是如果我看了人家的帽子都想要，一頂一頂的買，那麼我就要想辦法來保存這些帽子、照顧這些帽子，這就是累贅了。所以想要是一種痛苦的事，需要是一種快樂的事。需要並不是罪惡，想要可能也不是罪惡。如果說我想要，要到了以後，我同時也把它分享給需要的人，這是他人的需要，不是我的需要。我當然可以想要，但必須在該要、能要的前提之下。什麼是該要？也就是理所當然的，應該得到的、份內的。比如說：你的薪水。是不是能要？有很多人不考慮自己的能力、 自己的職位，還有整個大環境的因緣。不許可我要我還在要，這是一樁非常痛苦的事。


欲望取捨

需要的不多，想要的太多

我們講人的問題，就是想要的太多，需要的並不是很多。如果想要的太多就會造成貪得無饜，而自己就變成了物質的奴隸，掉進痛苦的深淵裡去。我舉一個例子：曾經有一個太太帶了很多錢去逛百貨公司，她看到這個也想要，看到那個也想要，衣服、化粧品她樣樣都要。她想一想之後，因為曾經聽到師父講過，需要的不多，想要的太多，結果她一樣東西也沒有買，拿著錢就回家了。後來她把錢拿來做功德、做好事。她現在更高興，因為第一她心裡沒有了負擔，第二她做了好事，也覺得高興。


處事四態度

面對它、接受它、處理它、放下它。

遇到事情的時候，特別是比較嚴重問題的時候，我通常用四個態度或者四個層次來處理。第一個就是面對它；第二個接受它；第三個處理它；第四個放下它。這個很好用。任何問題發生的時候，特別是嚴重的問題、困擾的問題，逃避是沒有用的，所以面對它是最好的。然後你面對它的時候，你要接受它。你不接受它，這個問題還是在那裡。接受它以後，如果你用方法來處理，能夠處理的當然是非常好。但如果是不能處理的，你面對它的時候，這就是處理了。你接受它的時候也就等於是處理。然後可能你覺得非常懊惱，心裏面忿忿不平，老是心裡邊掛著那件事，很痛苦。這時候你走不下去了，但另外一條路來了, 那就應該放下。所以任何事情發生以後，你處理了就把它給放下。


感動

欣賞別人的成就是感動，也叫做見賢思齊。

我們不會欣賞他人的成就，自己就不會感動，就變成妒忌人家。看到人家得到了榮譽，得到了光榮或者是成就，還會酸溜溜地說：沒什麼了不起。這種人是最沒有出息的。如果經常能夠欣賞人家的成就，讚嘆人家的成就，看到人家的光榮，看到人家的好事，覺得好感動，心想這個人真是了不起，能夠這般努力，完成了這樣好的成果，那真是好啊！這個叫見賢思齊。我們讚嘆人的時候，自己也希望能夠向他學習，還有我們讚嘆人、欣賞人的時候，也影響其他的人來欣賞值得我們感動的事、或者感動的人。這對於生活環境來講，對自己，對當事人，以及對週遭的人都是正面的。


心靈環保

心靈環保就是慈悲心

我講的心靈環保是從自己做起。心靈環保並不是期待你要做，他要做，所有的人都要做。而是說我自己要做，自己如果沒有想要做，只是希望人家做﹐這一定是落空的。我常常反省自己是否能夠提供更多的東西給人，而不是從別人那裡取得什麼東西。心靈環保就是慈悲心，這是非常重要的。所謂慈悲心，就是如何讓人家得到福利、得到平安、得到歡喜，這就是心靈環保。心靈環保是由我們自己做起，那麼環境會因為我們自己的心是清淨的、平安的、快樂的、歡喜的，而受到我們的影嚮，也變成了清淨、安定、平安。
