静思语

一个让人喜欢亲近的人，
必定语声柔和，
态度谦恭有礼，
令人如心又入耳。

静思语

人心最需要的是和气。
祥和之气才是社会的福气。

Joke of the Day

Haa...okiez..something less serious for the day...

Once upon a time, there lived this couple who are in their fifties.
They were happily celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary when a fairy appeared.

Fairy: We are very happy that both of you have had a blissful 30 years and has therefore decided to grant you 3 wishes to add to the joy of this wonderful occassion.

Husband: Great! Let me make a wish 1st!!
I wish for a mountain of gold coins!!

Fairy: Alright, wish granted!!

Wife: Okiez, it's my turn now!
I wish for a diamond!

Fairy: Easy!

A diamond as huge as the soccer ball appeared sparkling away.

Husband: Dear, will you be sweet enough to let me have the 3rd wish?

Wife: hmm...alright...

Husband: I wish for a wife thirty years younger than me!!!

With a poof, the fairy turned the man into an eighty years old man!

hhaha...moral of the story??

静思语

尊重自己，
看重别人，
人人和气，
彼此关怀，
互爱协力，
就是真善美。

静思语

心安既是福

能做既是福

欢喜既是福

心宽既是福

A peaceful mind is a blessing.
The ability to work is also a blessing.
Happiness is a blessing.
Broadmindedness is also a blessing.

静思语

发心要发在脚地上，不是发在口中，只说不行。

A resolution must be expressed with actions, not just words.

静思语

信佛不是信一个偶像， 而是信仰佛陀的人格，在反观自性，相信自己与佛陀有同等的毅力 -- 人人皆有佛性，只要肯用心，人人都可发挥真如本性。

静思语

今天的静思语：

多一次原谅人，就多造一次福，把量放大福就大。

Pebble filled beach

Hi guys...

The coastline with grey "sand".

Volcanic lava which formed part of the coastline.

hmm..ya...the east coastline is supposed to be very scenic...hmm..but guess the cloudy day sorta spoilt it..so the fotos din turn out to be very pretty either..sigh...n the mosquitoes were ferocious..got more new bites all over me *bleah*
looked as if i have some skin disease or something...haha...but the driver that drove us there got this special native herb remedy for all sorts of crap..haha...n it works on my bites!!!
.....but only for a few hrs...its itching again...disturb my sleep last nite...*grouchy*
