A Message by George Carlin

A sister forward the following message, found it interesting, read on:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

没音乐的世界

今天回家時, 突然幻想一下没音乐的世界, 心中不禁涌出一股恐懼的感觉. 原来没音乐, 生命是多么的无趣. 坦若我的生命能制造音乐, 那会有多好. 小提琴, 等着瞧, 我会政服你的! ;")

Small change is important for autopay carparks!

Today I went to attend a celebration of a successful product release at KLCC, stayed until quite late. When it's time to head home and I am paying the carpark fee in front of the autopay machine, I notice I do not have small change but only 50 ringgit notes. At first I thought the autopay machine will accept 50 ringgit note, but it doesn't! So, I started to ask around whether anyone got RM50 small change. To my disappointment, most of them just shake their head and walked off. When I'm about to get panic, someone came back with 5 ten ringgits to exchange with my 50 ringgit note. I'm so grateful to the person! At last I'm able to leave the carpark!

I myself never aware how important it is to have small change when park in autopay carpark. I now learned the lesson but most of all, I'm ready to help those who stuck in the carpark like me in the future :)
