Last Night's Dinner - Fried Bee Hoon with Sunny Side Up

(20161223) Dinner - Sunny side up on a rainy day; dry fry on a wet day; a full plate for an empty stomach😋

Yup, that was the exact caption on my FB & IG posts. Well, although it wasn't really dry fry anyway as there was no "oily" meats etc to produce enough oil to cook the fried bee hoon ( vermicelli ). Still it was suffice for an oxymoronic expression, at least to me, lol!~ A failed attempt to qualify as a limerick? Most definitely, lol!~

Time And Tide Wait For No Man

..... and definitely procrastination is a thief of time. :'(

  I wanted to post at least one, just one thing on October, but then October went by in a blink of an eye. Then I meant to do it on November, a simple post will do, but again the month was on fast forward and now we are already in December. Well, if something is not done now, I will definitely have to wait for next year =_=

  And hence, the birthing forth of this post - something just to fill in the gap? Or is it really something of substance, with an effort put in? Nonetheless, a post is still a post and as the author types on his dreary eyes battle to push back the weights that seem to be in the range of more than tens of thousands of whatever metric tons or however one would want to try to measure it........

Alas, the bed beckons,
Like a fallen warrior,
With crumbling armour
Succumbing to eternal slumber

NOT!!!

For tomorrow the sun shall rise again,
Dusting off today's disdain,
Revived from yesterday's rest
All geared up again to do his best

Passion

So insanity has been defined as "doing the same thing over & over again and expecting a different result" and this quote has been attributed to the famous Albert Einstein, yet there is no concrete proof that he is the source but anyway we're not here to debate on that. What puts a smile on all our faces though is his contribution to society, something I'm sure everyone will agree on. Yet behind all the success, there's always a price to pay, the untold stories of countless failures & challenges. I'm sure there are many unsung heroes with similar experiences but what then is the thing that keeps them going?
  I've once heard someone said that passion is the fuel to success, which is something I will not deny but what about a kid who doesn't talk about success, dreams, goals & all those stuff? Yes, I'm talking about a 6 year old boy that I've observed who just loves to draw, and is really into windmills, car wash, automobiles, hurricanes & tornadoes, planets & the solar system. And in one seating he can draw easily more than 10 pages including even internal organs as in our human body parts plus he is so into planets that he has created his own imaginary planets & naming them, remembering them by heart as if they were real like all the other main planets in the solar system.
  I am one who love to observe & it just amazes me how awesome kids can be, a real source of inspiration if we really take notice. Sometimes I find what's lacking in us adults is the action taken to pursue our dreams & goals.....yup, procrastination is a thief of time & yes we have also heard that time & tide wait for no man but yet often times I find that we think too much & have lost that childlike faith ( am not saying that we rush in as fools because if we fail to plan, we have actually planned to fail ), in fact sometimes what I find we might lack is just a little more courage. As quoted by a couple of presidents - Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear ( Franklin D. Roosevelt ) and here's how Nelson Mandela put it: "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. I love the way this lady quotes it which sheds a slightly different light

“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear; The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.”

This is a quote by Meg Cabot, and if you've not heard of her she is a #1 New York bestselling author of books for both adults and tweens/teens.....maybe "Princess Diaries" might ring a bell?

So what is your goal or dream today? Or rather to make it more relative & relevant - what is your passion(s)? Will you then pursue it/them relentlessly? Will that undying passion awaken the giant in you? Will those unquenchable flames, the long dormant passions be unleashed, the potentials within be aroused so that we can be propelled forward? YOLO!~ Let's live life to the fullest & have no regrets!~ : )
