day happened to be shine-d by stars...
Where is justice? Mum was sick that day and doctor asked her to go hospital but she did not want to. So doctor only gave her medical certificate, asked her to rest at home. Her supervisor actually deducted her pay for the medical leave and told her that she needs not come to work anymore after end of this month. I feel so unfair for her. It was so difficult for her to find a job at her age and now the boss treated her this way. Sigh...
Received news that my friend's father inlaw just passed away. Life is so fragile. How come there are deaths coming near me. How i wish there can be forgiveness and mum and brother will patch back again.

How to Avoid the Post-Honeymoon Slump
Principle #1: Don't allow prolonged periods of anger
Christie and Ken argued into the late hours of the night. Finally, each became too sleepy to continue. While in bed, they fired verbal bullets at each other in an attempt to have the last word but eventually, both fell asleep.
The next morning Ken left for work earlier than usual to avoid breakfast with Christie. He did not call to tell her his lunch plans and when he came home, they did not speak to each other for several hours. It took weeks for the anger to subside completely and the event caused each to be impatient with the other when similar disagreements occurred. It seemed they had great difficulty reaching the level of emotional closeness experienced before.
The Bible tells us we should "not let the sun go down on [our] wrath." It's not that we shouldn't ever be angry at each other. Anger and irritation is normal when we are intimate with someone because his or her actions and opinions matter more to us than someone we don't know. The Bible does not tell us never to be angry. It tells us not to let the sun go down without making it right. I'll go as far to say that we should resolve such situations with our spouse before we spend any time apart to work, play or travel. When one spouse must be away from his or her spouse for any amount of time, the relationship should be in a normal and intimate state. If it's not, damage could occur in terms of emotional closeness and each would be at greater risk to temptations from the devil.
Principle #2: Don't punish the other by withholding sex
Jamie didn't feel like making love with Brad after he'd forgotten about their plans to go out for dinner. He had stayed late at the office and arrived nearly an hour after their dinner reservations had expired. Brad told Jamie he was very sorry, but Jamie's feelings were still hurt.
As the two lay in bed, Brad caressed her in the way that usually signaled his desire to be intimate, but Jamie let out a mocking laugh. Without saying a word, she turned away from Brad and shut her eyes. Brad stared at the ceiling well into the night while hurting inside. The space between them felt like a mile and Brad felt alienated and rejected.
It's very true that Brad should have placed more importance on the dinner Jamie had planned. His carelessness ruined what could have been a pleasant evening and hurt Jamie's feelings. However, perhaps you've heard the popular saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Paul tells married couples in 1 Corinthians 7:5 to "not deprive one another except in a time of mutual consent…and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you."
We should all be able to sympathize with Jamie. She was hurt and wanted Brad to know how badly. Maybe she wanted to get back at him. The Bible, however, tells us not to take revenge on each other and to be patient with each other (Deuteronomy 32:35 and 1 Thessalonians. 5:14). By openly rejecting physical intimacy with her husband, Jamie deeply hurt Brad. When the hurt diminished, Brad became bitter towards her. Not only did she reject him but she also rejected an opportunity to reconcile with him through physical oneness. The only thing she accomplished by withholding sex was to hurt Brad. If that was her goal, she succeeded.
Husbands and wives should never withhold sex in order to punish the other because God designed sex to be the ultimate expression of romantic love and unity between husband and wife. It is too sacred to be used in petty squabbles and fights or as a proverbial carrot dangling before the eyes of the other to produce desired behavior.
#3: Avoid the temptation to blame unmet needs on life's situations
Adam worked two jobs in order to save enough money to make a down payment on the house he and Tiffany wanted. When he walked into the door each night, he was ready to go to bed. Tiffany, however, had other plans.
She expected him to tell her about his day and to listen as she told him about her own. She also expected him to sit down to dinner with her and to "cuddle" with her at bedtime. Adam usually wanted to go to sleep early and didn't have the energy for lovemaking. When Tiffany would protest Adam assured her things would change when he stopped working two jobs.
After several months, Adam had saved up the money for a large down payment and the two moved into their house. Adam eventually quit working two jobs but continued to be cold and distant. Whenever she would question him about this, he promised things would improve when his stress level at work diminished or when he began getting more sleep. It seemed that he had a different set of excuses every time Tiffany inquired.
It wasn't that Adam's job kept him from fulfilling Tiffany's needs or opening up to her. It was that he developed the habit of not fulfilling her because he could blame it on events beyond his control rather than himself. The solution would be for him to place first importance on meeting her needs regardless of the situation. After all, no situation is more important than the needs of your wife or husband and their needs do not disappear during times we think we're too busy to fulfill them.
If meeting the needs of your spouse is as important as it should be, life's difficulties won't get in the way because you won't allow them.
It all comes down to…
If every husband and wife would put the other first, the situations described above would not occur. However, because we are imperfect humans, it's important to be patient with our spouses and constantly work towards the goal of being the best husband or wife we can be.
If you avoid the three areas discussed above, you can keep your marriage free of many slumps and difficulties. Above all, remember what 1 Corinthians 13 says about love:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

Today had a party and saw some kindness and ugliness of human being. Some has the kindness to serve others and some has the selfishness to take everything for herself and himself. Or quickly takes his or her own share first so as not to lose out. Is this the result of the family upbringing? I think high possiblity. I hope i myself will continue to have a servanthood heart to serve and love others. Hope next time if i have my own kids, they will be like Jesus too and not be selfish.

Went for a farewell lunch at a japanese restaurant for lunch. Had a good time with them. But i cannot help but feel kinda sad. Maybe lately because of sudden death of a friend and with all these leavings, cannot help but feel sad. Well well, maybe an end is a new beginning for one...
Worried about a student's court case. Called and unable to get hold of him. Hope everything turns out just fine in God's will. May God leads the way...

What is the reason for a diary?
What is the time span for a diary?
Whatis the secret behind a diary?
Why do you exist in the first place?
Why do you look so mysterious?
Why do you talk in silence?
Who will write a diary?
Who will read a diary?

My friend just passed away. Went to his funeral wake. Really sad and pity because he is so young. Even younger than me. I admire his wife's inner strength. She is strong. She is even younger and has to take care of the young son. Life is really so fragile. I was still chatting with him not too long ago and meant to meet up one day for coffee. But now, he is gone forever. When the person passed away, one will tend to remember everything about the person. He was a cheerful person and planned well ahead. It is also due to good planning that now his wife can be independent and does not have to worry financially. Really sad....Friday, May 16, 2008 'Y

Chinese wonder if animals can predict earthquakes
Then, thousands of toads appeared on streets in a nearby province. Mianzhu residents feared the toads were a sign of an approaching natural disaster, but a local forestry bureau official said it was normal, the Huaxi Metropolitan newspaper reported May 10, two days before the earthquake.
The day of the earthquake, zebras were banging their heads against a door at the zoo in Wuhan, more than 600 miles east of the epicenter, according to the Wuhan Evening Paper.
Elephants swung their trunks wildly, almost hitting a staff member. The 20 lions and tigers, which normally would be asleep at midday, were walking around. Five minutes before the quake hit, dozens of peacocks started screeching.
