This is truly a very inspiring story that is written. Many a times when we are faced with obstacles, sadness, or even sickness, we will keep focusing on "Why Me?" rather than believing that we will win the battle in the end, no matter what situation we are in.

How To Truly Win Your Battle

By: Rebecca Watson

My kind-hearted cousin, Julia Middleton, fought cancer for seven years, fifty chemo treatments, alternative medicines, and tons of hospital bills. Not once did she ever complain—not even a whimper.

Remarkably, she didn’t focus on “Why me?” but rather thanked God for the opportunity to demonstrate His will through her struggle and consistent hope. While her friends and family knew that eventually she would lose her battle to cancer, she instead believed that no matter her situation, she would always “win” the battle in the end because of her strong faith in a loving God and eternal Heaven.

The night before she passed away last week, a huge group of friends and Choir members from her church gathered to serenade her. Although she could not see (she had lost her eyesight and could hardly sit up in a chair), she whispered her last words, “Yah! Fantastic.” Her supportive husband Middy wept in her lap.

I heard a story, below, that reminds me of beautiful Julia. I’m grateful for the permanent impact that her positive attitude has had on my own perspective about living with a joyful heart.

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

“Well,” she said. “I think I’ll braid my hair today.” So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

“Hmm,” she said. “I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.” So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.

“Ha,” she said. “Today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail.” So she did and she had a super fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.

“YEA!” she exclaimed. “I don’t have to fix my hair today!”


Ask yourself, "What have I learned from Julia?". Are you still going to focus on "Why Me?" when you wake up one morning to find that you have only 3 pieces of hair on your head? Or are you going to be you own "Julia"?

Do You Have Bad Breath?

Many of us do not realize tis... but till when u realize it, it's too late. All ur friends will b at least 10feet away from u. And those who does know u will b trying very very hard 2 conceal d revolting feeling inside. IT IS UR BAD BREATH!!

All of us were taught by our parents since young age dat brushing our teeth will keep our mouth n breath fresh. But is tis true enough? Yes, and No. We know tis very well.

So, then, wat do we do 2 keep our breath 'fresh'? We'll start of wit mouth wash solution. Then we'll floss our teeth. Brush our teeth after each meal. Some resort to taking minty sweets in a desparate move 2 keep thier mouth "fresh".

Further many also know dat smoking will cause our mouth to smell. Then wat do smokers do 2 keep their mouth fresh? I know a few will do those above starting from mouth wash to taking minty 'fresh' sweets. N many just dun give a f**k!

But how do u keep ur mouth from having bad breath?

Secret To Be Successful

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job with a timber merchant, and he got it. His salary was really good and so were the working conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to fell the trees. The first day, the woodcutter brought down 15 trees.

"Congratulations, " the boss said. " Carry on with your work!"

Highly motivated by the words of his boss, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he only could bring 10 trees down. The third day he tried even harder, but he was only able to bring down 7 trees.

Day after day he was bringing lesser number of trees down.

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked.
" Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."

That's right. Most of us NEVER update our skills. We think that whatever we have learned is very much enough. But good is not good when better is expected. Sharpening our skills from time to time is the key to success.

Sleepless Nite In Wangsa Baiduri

Ethan woke up in the middle of d nite crying on Xmas day. Both mommy n i jolted up trying 2 calm him down but his crying still goes on. We thought he might b having stomachache, so applied some ointment onto his tummy. But he is still crying.

Then mommy said, "may b he's hungry, cos his last ate at 10pm" so i went 2 prepare a bottle of milk. Fortunately, he slept after he finished d bottle of milk.

The next morning we asked grandma why Ethan woke up n cry non-stop? N d reply we got is may b he had 2 much of fun b4 he went 2 sleep n that's why he'll wake up in d middle of d nite n cry. N according 2 MIL tis is according 2 'old people' saying.

A Sudden Phone Call From Dad

Tis week has been a very hectic week for me n my colleague, as we were in charged of giving training to customers. And things were made worse when our company server went down several times.

Then a couple of days ago, my phone suddenly rang. And I answered. It was from my dad.

Me: Hi, father.
Dad: You free to talk?
Me: Ya, just for a while. Anything urgent?
Dad: Oh... nothing much actually. But can u come here on Friday evening after ur work? ("here" is referring to my dad's house, as I am staying away from my parents)
Me: Why? What's wrong?
Dad: Nothing. Don't worry. It's not convenient to talk over the phone. Come back n I'll tell u.

So for d past couple of days, I have been wondering what could have happened that dad wants me to go back specifically on Friday? And so, i went back to my dad's house after work today, to find out what has happened that he called me back so urgently.

"Son, I need ur help," dad said. "I hv been facing some major financial problem now n I don't know what to do." And he carry on to explain to me about the detail.

After I heard him, my feel so sad. My dad has all this while been a very strong man and being a typical Chinese, it's extremely hard for him to open his mouth to ask for help from his son. All this while, he has been earning more money than me (how? I am not very sure), and I have been seeking his assistance, financially, to help me. But now. This respectable strong man of mine has broken down. The pain in my heart is hard to explain.

"I'll help you," is the only thing I said, even though I know very well that, at this moment, it's hard for me to give any help. But he is my father! No matter how tough it is, "I Will Help!" This is what I tell myself. But how? I really don't know how...

I hope God will hear my prayers. Yes, I have sinned. I have done bad things. I have utter bad words. I have bad thoughts. But I hope God will hear my prayers, and help my dad. He is a good man.

Get Back Up When You Fall

"... there are sometimes in life where you fall down, and you feel like you don't have the strength to get back up". I believe this does happen to most of us here when times we fall down and we feel like it's the end of the world. To some, they resort to even end their life. But have you think that you can Get Back Up after you fall?

"Do you think you have hope?" asked Nick Vojicic




When he said "... I will try one hundred times to get back up. And if I fail one hundred times, if I fail and I give up, do you think I am never gonna get up? NO!" This should be learned by all of us and not giving up so easily when facing obstacles in life.

How? There is only one way. "If I fail, I try again, and again and again... But I just want you to know it's not the end. It matters how you gonna finish. Are you gonna finish strong? And you will find that strength to get back up..."

Thank you, Nick.

It's Heart Breaking To See Ur Baby In Pain

It was yesterday evening... after i reached home from work at about 7pm, where i was greeted by my wife cuddling Ethan in her hands.

Me: Hey... how r u guys doing 2day? hi...Ethan, hv u been notti 2day?

Then i noticed that yvonne's eyes r red (probably after crying for a while b4 i reached home) Then she handed Ethan to me n proceeded to the kitchen to prepare dinner. N i started playing wit Ethan. After a while, yvonne came out of the kitchen after completed her chores when she said in a sobby eyes, "daddy, i was cleaning up in the kitchen when Ethan fell down from his playpen" n she couldn't help herself n started breaking into tears.

Me: It's okay... it's okay... dun worry.. it's not ur fault.
She: But i couldn't find where hv he hurt himself (n she started crying again)
Me: Oh... it's alrite. Dun worry.. he's not hurt. Look at him. If he's hurt, he wouldn't b playing now rite. Dun cry...

It's really heart breaking 2 see her crying n i know yvonne was feeling terribly sorry n heartache 2 see her lovely son fell down n cry. I wanted 2 cry myself but i know i gotto b strong for her so that she'll not b blaming herself for Ethan's falling from the playpen.

Oh... God, i pray, please give me strength to b strong.
