“It doesn’t matter if the song of life that you sing is simple or complicated. All that matters is how much you put into that song. Your life is controlled only by what you give to it. You won’t get anything from it if you don’t put feeling into life. That’s why people fall in love. If they give that feeling, they get it back. Put all you’ve got into this life, and when the day comes for you to pass on, you won’t regret what you did.” — Author unknown
A good reminder of my life today..
“I don’t forgive people because I’m weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes.” — Marilyn Monroe
“Long term success is built on credibility and on establishing enduring loving relationships with quality people based on mutually earned trust. Cut all ties with dishonest, negative or lazy people, and associate with people who share your values. You become who you associate with.” – Dave Kekich
“All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.” – Erma Bombeck
When Irish eyes are smiling, ‘Tis like a morn in spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter. You can hear the angels sing. – Chauncey Olcott and George Graff Jr
May your pockets be heavy, and your heart be light. May good luck pursue you each morning and night. — Irish Blessing
May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
“If you have something to do that is worthwhile doing, don’t talk about it, but do it. After you have done it, your friends and enemies will talk about it.” – George W. Blount
” The love that gushes for all is the real elixir of life – the fountain of bodily longevity. It is the lack of this that always produces the feeling of age.” — Josiah Gilbert Holland
” When all the people in the world love one another, then the strong will not overpower the weak, the many will not oppress the few, the wealthy will not mock the poor, the honored will not disdain the humble, the cunning will not deceive the simple.” – Mozi
” When the heart is set right, then the personal life is cultivated. When the personal life is cultivated, then the home life is regulated. When the home life is regulated, then the national life is orderly: And when the national life is orderly, then the world is at peace.” - Confucius
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Apple Inc.
I found this phrase by Dr. Joseph Riggio as a remarkably moving….
He said: ” The first and most important thing that you can do is to reshape the story that we are all living. We first have to shape the story that we love ourselves until you know who you are. You can’t know what’s possible for the world and you’ll sacrifice the future of our children, and your children’s children simply because you didn’t know what story says.”
What a Genius..? Do I ever think of the kind of stories that are going on in my life now? Whose story am I living currently?
It takes me back to my childhood, sat on my daddy’s lap listening all the stories my mummy & daddy told me. These stories have cemented and shape my life into who I am now. They often come up to surface each time I am faced by difficult situations..Therefore I am now looking upon my children – what kind of story should I tell them? Will these stories shape their future?
In times of trouble.. there are lots of voices repeating in my head. Do they relate to the stories I’ve listened before? Is that my true voice or gut instinct that tries to give clues to me as to where I should go next? How will I know which one I must listen to..? Do I have courage to make that decision..? – I believe we all are given the ability to know what is best for us, but… do we recognise it? Have we trust in our own gut instinct..?

I’d like to thank you both Ann, my dear friends who make me write this recipe for you. Often I prepare all the ingredients in advance, so whenever I’m ready to eat, I just bang them all in the work… mix, mix… and wallah… it’s done in minutes!
The ingredients I describe in this recipe is based on the picture shown (exactly what I did to my best recollection..) – but the beauty of this recipe is that you can throw in literary any vegetables/ meat/ chicken/ prawn you fancy. You just need to adjust the cut & size of whatever ingredients you put in, so they all will cook together in the same time. No rules.. just mix and taste.

Start by heating up the oil in the wok, then soften the onion, put in the mixed ground ingredients, keep mixing till the aroma rises, then throw in chicken, carrots & cabbage, keep mixing until they are cooked.
Put in wet ingredients (soy-sauces), then put in noodle, bean sprout, mix well. Adjust to your taste if you need to put in more soy sauce, just do.. The dish is cooked when the steam starts to rise in the middle of the wok. Taste & adjust before serve.
