A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jarwas full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life."
The golf balls are the important things-your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Today went to watch Monga with Jo. The movie was quite alright, with rich storyline and actions, but it was somewhat too draggy. Around 140 minutes? I liked it because of the intention to let us know of the underworld in Taiwan and their "rich culture" and of course, the language everyone's familiar: Hokkien.
After that, a trip down to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre again. This time we ate satay from another stall; chee cheong fun I've always wanted; "Or-Lua"; Rojak and 2 big cups of sugarcane.
Chee cheong fun is good! 2 big rolls filled with ingredients and the skin is supple and melts in your mouth! $2 only! =D
All in all, it was delicious! And it was quite hot when we leave the place. But when I reached home, it started pouring!! :( Luckily this only happened only for 10mins. Haha
And of course, not forgetting my darling, I bought some mini muffins which were really cute! and a roll of chee cheong fun for her. :)
Go work lo~

Gosh. There's so many movies I wanted to watch. The upcoming Iron Man 2, Ip Man 2, The Men who Stare at Goats and etc etc.
And I'm broke! But somehow I managed to squeeze out some money to get myself this magazine: "The Ultimate Blackberry Guide." Nice and comprehensive book I would say. And I can get myself some story book? Haha! Hopefully I won't fall asleep when I read 10 pages into the book! :X
Recently got stomach indigestion and some rashes to my right elbow. Damn it was so NOT comfortable that I went to see a doctor at AH A&E. Whole thing lasted 2 hours: Medicine & NO MC!! And the doctor never give me cream when she said she would. Fuck! Bo bian, had to get the cream from another source.
Hopefully it wasn't not itchy anymore.. If not I GG! :(
And I tried out the Biofinity Toric lenses. Not bad I would say.. clear vision but as usual my eyes will feel dry towards the end of the day. Same old dry eyes problem! :(
And.. I need time!! To do a lot of things. A lot of things I wanted. :(

Oh man, stomach discomfort + skin allergy doesn't get you anywhere. Not even with a MC. Haha Hopefully I'll get well very soon!
And gosh, I'm so bored. It's like there is nothing much to do at home.. or am I just plain lazy to do things? Haha
