The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions - and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

The bus stops and 2 men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following:
"Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more! Two asses, they come together again. I come again and peetwice. Then I come one lasta time."
The lady can't take this any more, "You foul-mouthed s*xobsessed pig,"she retorted indignantly. "In this country, we don't speak aloud in public places about our s*x lives."
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin'abouta s*x? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell 'Mississippi'."
SHOUT OUT: to Jess for sending me this!

Karaoke
I was singing this with my cousin today at home... touched my heart again...
情人
歌手：Beyond | 作曲：黃家駒
填詞：劉卓輝 | 編曲：
盼望你沒有為我又再度暗中淌淚
我不想留低 你的心空虛
盼望你別再讓我像背負太深的罪
我的心如水 你不必痴醉
＊Woo...你可知 誰甘心歸去
你與我之間 有誰＊
＃是緣是情是童真 還是意外
有淚有罪有付出 還有忍耐
是人是牆是寒冬 藏在眼內
有日有夜有幻想 無法等待＃
盼望我別去後會共你在遠方相聚
每一天望海 每一天相對
盼望你現已沒有讓我別去的恐懼
我即使離開 你的天空裡
REPEAT＊＃
多少春秋風雨改 多少崎嶇不變愛
多少唏噓的你在人海
REPEAT＃
情人
歌手：Beyond | 作曲：黃家駒
填詞：劉卓輝 | 編曲：
盼望你沒有為我又再度暗中淌淚
我不想留低 你的心空虛
盼望你別再讓我像背負太深的罪
我的心如水 你不必痴醉
＊Woo...你可知 誰甘心歸去
你與我之間 有誰＊
＃是緣是情是童真 還是意外
有淚有罪有付出 還有忍耐
是人是牆是寒冬 藏在眼內
有日有夜有幻想 無法等待＃
盼望我別去後會共你在遠方相聚
每一天望海 每一天相對
盼望你現已沒有讓我別去的恐懼
我即使離開 你的天空裡
REPEAT＊＃
多少春秋風雨改 多少崎嶇不變愛
多少唏噓的你在人海
REPEAT＃

Ashlee Simpson – Boyfriend
Whatcha been doin'? Whatcha been doin?
Whoa, Whoa
Haven't seen ya 'round
How you been feelin'? How you been feelin'?
Whoa, whoa,
Don't you bring me down,
All that shit about me
Being with him
Can't believe
All the lies that you told
Just to ease your own soul
But I'm bigger than that
No you don't, have my back
No, No, ha!
Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long till you face what's goin' on?
Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Well I'm sorry, that he called me
And that I answered the telephone
Don't be worried, I'm not with him
And when I go out tonight I'm going home alone
Just got back from my tour
I'm a mess, girl for sure
All I want is some fun
Guess I better run
Hollywood sucks you in, but it won't spit me out
Whoa, whoa, ha!
Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long till you face what's goin' on?
Cause you really got it wrong
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long 'til you look at your own life?
'stead of looking into mine I didn't steal your boyfriend
Hey, how long till you're leaving me alone, don't you have somewhere to go?
I didn't steal your boyfriend
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, ha!
Whoa, whoa, Whoa, ha!
Please stop tellin' all your friends
Im gettin' sick of them
Always staring at me like
I took him from ya.

Last Days of Freedom...
before i continue... the latest funny email i got has been posted up on my xanga
SHOUT OUT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! love you heapsssssssssssssssssssssssss!!
my last two days of freedom has gone by like a breeze. uni is officially starting tomorrow for me and, thank God for credit cards, i paid my fees upfront again on the due date. =)
what happened yesterday? i went out during the morning to window shop alone in the city. honestly, the MYER massive sale is a load of crap because nothing good is on sale. im starting to prefer DJ more these days.
after a while of aimless wondering around DJ and MYER, i met up with a friend whom i havent seen since... first year of uni... and he looks the same from like, when i was in year... 8-ish? it was really nice of him to invite me out for lunch just to meet up and catch up and stuff. thinking back, a lot has happened since year 12 yet i can say nothing much happened? im not trying to be all philosophical here, no.
the lunch slash catching up themselves were ok: we went to a cafe at QVB and then went to pizza hut for the buffet works. it was the occasional dead conversations, or the awkward silences that got me thinking during the day. i know my friend and i didnt fully talk like the closest of friends, but the atmosphere wasnt like yesterday at all. he's still nice, i must say, he drove me to pick up my dry cleaning and drove me home as well. he even got me the Sims2, which came with the pizza buffet and a small amount of money.
i enjoyed yesterday because i got to see an old friend of mine yet it's a pity how i realised that people can take such different paths in life. he's a good person at heart, it's the occasional sarcastic jokes that i dont really understand... oh well, i'll just take them as sarcasm.
SHOUT OUT: HEY DANIEL! hope you enjoyed yesterday =)
and now, today...
i was thinking of going to the 1PM econ360 class but then i decided not to go this morning when i woke up... hehehehehehe
i had to call this place up to claim the dvd player we won from some competition. and then what happened? i went to the city (again) to meet up with a friend whom i havent seen since... april? some time back then... not as long ago as daniel... =)
ross and i went to get morning tea (more like breakfast slash morning tea for me) at QVB (again). it seems i've spent my last 2 days of freedom in the same area... haha. then we walked around the block (literally) to waste some time until he had to go to uni for some group presentation practice.
ross is... different... to all the other people i know. in a good way. =) he's so *civilised* in a white way. =P i think it's because i hung out with an azn yesterday and today, a non-azn. but then, i dont think it has anything to do with races. it's all got to do with personality. ross is such a socialable person, which is good because it makes the atmosphere a lot more comfortable and less awkward.
i enjoyed today's morning tea with ross because he actually tells me what his opinions are to things we talk about. well, i THINK he's giving me his honest opinion, i'll take them as true anyways~ and it's cool... i recon... =)
SHOUT OUT: HEY ROSS~ THANKS FOR MY MORNING TEA! WHOO! =D
and then i met up with wai ho to catch a train back together since he finished class at around the same time as i was going home.
SHOUT OUT: WAI HO! you made my train trip home less lonely... hahahaha
anyways la, enough for now... uni starts tomorrow and i dont like that... ><""

Brain Dead
a great way to wait for my hair to naturally dry is to post a blog entry...
woah! it's been yonks since my last proper entry. so what has happened since then?
basically in chronological order...
1) exams have finished
2) turned 21
3) went to surfers' paradise
4) went to wollongong
5) went into depression due to fear of failing uni subjects
6) recovered from depression from getting my results back
7) been out a few times with my friends... yeh, dinner and hanging out and all...
after skimming through the past month or so, i can talk about today...
met up with jo at about mid-day so we could go to newtown to shop and hang out. stupid trains were stuffing up because of train track works, so we had to catch a rail bus from ashfield to newtown. jo shouted me a red bean icy pop. it was really nice! yay!
first stop, an illegal, market style store where these jap chics were selling things ranging from $1 to $10. literally. i spent a total of $20.50 and managed to acquire:
1) 2 tank tops
2) 3 tops
3) 1 skirt wannabe top
4) 4 souffle containers so i can make my own souffle
5) 1 *the snowman* mug
i had to carry these things all day as we criss-crossed king street at newtown. but from what jo had told me, we have only seen 1/3 of king street. but the main problem is, a lot of the clothes stores have changed to restraunts. daymn...
why did i buy so much from those jap chics (1 could literally speak fluent french) and a true blue french guy (literally, with an accent and all)? because jo and i thought they were THAT out of cash to survive in australia. i wasnt planning on buying so much especially from (2) onwards. but then, christine recons they were 賤賣-ing their things because they cant fit everything in their suitcases on their trip back to japan. i just wish i knew at the time... well, for whatever reason they were 賤賣-ing their possessions, one man's junk is another's treasure, is all i shall say...
there are all these weird stuff on sale on king street, ranging from really pretty to really cool to really odd to just funky. i have finally physically touched a florence braodhurst bag today. it was a bit of an anti-climax because of the actual design of the bag. the materials were nice, the patterns werent there and the price was just piss-i-ly exaggerated. but hey, at least i got to touch it rather than just look at these things in magazines.
lunch killed the whole atmosphere when i had to settle for 2nd best at a cafe. the menu did not specify onions and the chef was too arrogant to make me a new plate, so i had to pick out the finely chopped onions from my dish. it sucked and im still feeling bloated from it... i've been farting all day, the most at newtown so the wind could just carry it away (hahahahahaha) but i guess i've learnt a great lesson today: always ask what they have in their food... ><""
jo and i pretty much didnt spend again at newtown. the shops just didnt have anything that motivated a spending impluse. there was one particular shop where jo and i were REALLY close to spending... very sad but true, the store is just like the HUNDREDS of stores around Hong Kong... 銅鑼灣, 旺角, TST... even 柴灣... full hk-ie fashion to the max. the style, the colours, even the prices matched hk-ie dollar values. what i mean by that is, a top you can get for HKD$120 is literally priced at AUD$120. i know, it's all economics, but that sucks totally.
jo and i then left for dinner at strattie. the bus trip back to ashfield was a tiring one and as i was trying to rest, i banged my head on the bus window, right on the area of my head where the hair pin was. the pain. the shock. guess what, i woke up. no more brain dead. more like brain killed...
we just werent hungry. honest. for some weird reason, and under very profound conditions, jo and i coincidentally saw jo's dad waiting for jo's mum and their family friends outside strattie plaza. it turned out that jo's mum and their friends were already in the restraunt. such a strange coincidence. it was like as if jo and i were meant to see him before dinner or something.
so we went to this krn restraunt which had no vegetarian food whatsoever. but i wasnt hungry at that time. after that we went to another restraunt for ice cream. jo and i were so bored and tired, we started to act like year 9 chics who have reached their peak of puberty... thinking back, i feel sorry for the waiter who had to put up with our giggles and stares haahahahahaha he wasnt hot or anything, but just in the wrong place at the wrong time. hahahahaha
when jo went to pay for the ice cream, i felt really bad for having jo to shout me any more food, so i neaked some money into the back zipper pocket of her hand bag... we were being so asn tonight, fighting over who's paying... so i thought sneaking that in her bag while she wasnt with her bag was the simplest, quickest and best way to solve my dilemma. =) and she'll get a surprise next time when she opens that pocket! yay!
met up with christine and she drove us to burwood so we could all go to ANOTHER cafe. christine was hungry. what can we do? =) i told a guy who i thought was just a random waitor at the cafe to wipe our table properly. it turned out he was the owner of the place. when we were leaving, i went and paid my due respect and gratitude to the owner. =) just too nice...
went back to jo's place and watched law n order and criminal intent. the two stories were stupidly similar tonight... women killing other women for a man. men are just not worth such sacrifices, sisters! what did the men do in the end? they left you! didnt even pity you ONE BIT.
jo's house is so pretty and big and her parents are nice as well, even though i didnt really get to meet them. im sure i will get to meet them properly next time!
christine drove me home then... way past my curfew. i hope my parents get over it soon... =(
today was a long day and i had heaps of fun.
SHOUT OUT: MR & MRS CHEUNG, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME OVER! CHRISTINE, YOU'RE NOT AS TALKATIVE AS ME! bahahaha! JO!!! Newtown was an anti-climax but it wouldnt have been the same without you!
love you guys heaps!
until next time something cool happens, tata la!

Kids risk 'deafness' with MP3 players
July 20, 2006 - 1:34PM
Teenagers and young adults who listen to MP3 players too loudly and too often risk going deaf 30 years earlier than their parents' generation, a charity warned.
Deafness Research UK said a national survey in Britain showed that 14 per cent of 16-34-year-olds use their personal music players for 28 hours a week.
More than a third of the 1,000 people questioned in the poll said they had ringing in the ear, a sign of damage to hearing, after listening to loud music.
"We are warning young people that they are putting themselves at risk of going deaf 30 years earlier than their parents' generation," said Vivienne Michael, chief executive of Deafness Research UK.
Young people are exposed to loud noise from MP3 players, sophisticated sound systems in homes, clubs and cars but many are unaware of the damaging effect it can have on hearing.
Nearly 40 per cent of the people questioned in the poll said they did not know that listening to loud music on a personal music player or in clubs or cars could damage their hearing.
Twenty-eight per cent said they went to noisy bars, pubs or nightclubs once a week.
"Hearing loss can make life unbearable. It cuts people off from their family and friends and makes everyday communication extremely difficult," Michael said in a statement.
The charity advises people to follow the 60-60 rule. Do not listen to your MP3 player at more than 60 per cent of maximum volume and do not listen to it for more than 60 minutes at a time.
It added that if the music from a headset is loud enough for the people around to hear, then it is loud enough to cause hearing damage.
Noise levels exceeding 105 decibels can damage hearing if endured for more than 15 minutes, according to Britain's Health and Safety Executive.
Normal conversation is about 60 decibels. Heavy traffic is about 85 decibels and loud personal music players are 112 decibels.
