The challenging life of our world today

Here we all come again to a challenging time of the year.All of a sudden the spring brings incredibly busy tragedy our world.Lets faced it..when I saw the tradegy disaster news,I felt very sad and it's reminds me of the tsunami that happened two years ago.I can feel how the victims feel because I was in a resort during the tsunami.It was a shcocking experinece to me and the kids.Today,I still can't forget the shocking moment.Last December it was a cyclone in Bangladesh and now a cyclone in Myanmar and an earthquake on China in occurence.Some people said God create those disasters around the world.

Do you think so?I don't think so because what I know natural disasters have been happening for many years.However,I do believe that natural disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change not create by God.I believe everyone has to go through trials and tribulation.God did not promise that life would be easy but he did promise to be with us on every step of the way.Eventually every part of the world will have some sort of natural disaster.It will probably get worse in years to come and the natural disasters are all weather related.I blame it on global warming.We need to stop global warming.Change the way we treat the world and the nature.If we want to love our family and friends why not love the world first.

Here I found a video which is very touching and it's hard to find anyone who can put things in perspective more than Carl Sagan statement.

Pale Blue Dot


Sagan related his thoughts on the deeper meaning of the photograph(Pale Blue Dot)

Look again at that dot.That's here. That's home.That's us.On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was,lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies,and economic doctrines,every hunter and forager,every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love,every mother and father,hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader",every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings,how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark.In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes.Settle,not yet.

Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience.There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.To me,it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

I am back updating

Yup,I think it's about time for update eh?I have been busy making Fried Ghost (aka Yau Char kwai aka chinese crullers)lately and pretty tired the whole week.Till the kids don't wanna try my crullers anymore.Even hubby teased at me.Everytime he saw me making the the crullers he will said not again?LOL!!!Till today I still didn't manage to make the perfect crullers.Kinda of fed up already.How ah???Anyway,I think I got to take a week rest and try making it again.

Well,hubby work for a company that has been sold and his entire group is about to be laid off on this weekend.That's mean he is going to be jobless.He have worked for the company for 4 years already and I am so sad that he have to start all over again.Right now is a tough time to find a job.I don't know how financially stable we are after and if we have to move back to our hometown or not.While I can say that I am a little worried now.I really don't know how long we could survive in this country.The living expenses is too high here.Getting laid off is hard on a family.I know it willl be a stressful time for him and I feel helpless.I guess what I have to do now is help and focus on the hunt for him.

What have you done for the past

How have you changed in the past ten years?and What have you done for the past?Ten years ago I was in college, partying a lot and doing some crazy things.I gotta say those were some fun years.Now I don't have anymore those fun.Life changed a lot now.I'm married and have a two kids.I'm a stay at home mom and have settled way down in the past ten years.I feel so content now in a lot of ways.It's just funny how much I changed.

Just now,I was chatting with a friend who we knew each other for more then twenty years.I can't believe we have been friend for so long.We were chatting about How Fast Does Time pass and what did we have done for the past ten years.Ya,he reminds me that I should learn and do something meaningful everyday and not to waste the time for doing nothing.

Well,I don't even know if I have learned and done anything that is meaningful for the past.I kept thinking did I make my life and world around me better?I for a very long time always felt emotionally doomed and look sadness,helpless,hopeless and no resolution to anything.Am I just too busy?Why can I considered how precious and fleeting each moment is?I shouldn't have these excuses.Do you believe the end of the world?Despite anything's possible,I surely doubt that it will happen anytime soon.Anyhow,I hope before the end of the world I can learn something that it is something they can be proud of.

Our house almost break-in

Since I moved here over one year ago, there was several occasion our apartment locker were broken in and other cars were broken into too.Anyway,our apartment was break in last night.It was around 2:30am,hubby came home woke me up and told me that someone was trying to broke into our hallway.He said when he parked the car,he saw two guys were walking down to the ground parking lot with two bicycles.At that moment,he suspect something wasn't right.So he quickly checked the the hallway exit door latch and found the door was unlocked and partially opened.

Apparently something wasn't right here because the hallway exit door never in a partially open position.Then he checked our house door and luckily the deadbolt didn't break.Everything is fine no break in.After that he went back to the parking lot again with the exit door partially opened.He went back into his car-I don't know why he did that at that time-but I don't think he should taking such risk.Anyhow,he laid back down and wait within a few minutes trying to make sure everything is fine.He was right something really happened.

After 10 minutes later he saw the two guys walked back toward the parking lot area,opened the hallway exit door and went in.Hubby was very sure that they aren't our neighbour because we know each other very well.Besides inside the hallway only has four units and it is impossible that a visitor can access the hallway and the parking lot except the tenants.So I think they might break in somewhere from the visitor parking lot exit.Well,to cut the story short,before they tried to break in(we don't know which one they target to break in),hubby quickly got out of the car and yelled at them(our parking space is only ten steps away from the hallway exit door)and asked what they were doing inside our hallway.They were pretty calm at that moment.One of them muffled some answer and explained that they were just looking for friend at the ground floor.This gave hubbyeven more suspicious,making them a liar already.So hubby approached them sternly saying that our hallway doesn't link to ground floor.He told them he is going to call the cops now.Then both of them quickly walked off through the other exit door(link to the emergency door)and left.

At this point hubby decided to call the police and let them know what had happened.He gave them a description of the guys and the cop said they would send someone over to check things out but the cop didn't come.Sometimes I really think that our cop here are racism because whenever my hubby called the cop they don't even care and did they ever solve the problem.

Well,now I’m not able to go to bed, so I decided to share my story with you. I was so scared when I heard all this happened. I can’t help but think, what if my hubby didn't come home at that time that two ignorant guys already breaks into my apartment.Oh man!I'm too scared to sleep tonight.
