Life is beautiful ?~*

''How are you guys going to survive in the coming days? Things getting more and more 'not worth it' with the super unreasonable price ... where is the market ecosystem??? How are we going to afford our life while salary never rise even a single cent ?? haizh... ''

As observed...

i believe the elegant lady who stood beside me while choosing fish in the market this morning wasn't facing any financial difficulty , or i should say... simple and happy life wasn't a big problem for her...

Her conversation with the fishmonger ,'m not sure whether the 'things' she referring was the fish she holding and trying to bargain with a really special way .... or she really meant it....

However...

It's so true...

This philosophy had been repeating for like thousand of times in my life since young till now...

Sometimes... mummy like to mumble us about our study , future and so on... whenever she has the free time with us...even during the short trip from Butterworth to Penang ... there's the mummy's philosophies channel ...

well , i have to admit that we will definitely feel irritated when something is repeated for like N times although it's so true and it's going to affect your own beautiful life... BUT ... i would rather listening to my favourite music for N times compared to these boring yet meaningful mummy's philosohies....

YEA... THEY're BORING ...

but...

Have you ever analyse the hidden meaning behind them??? Or they were just tones of words which passed by your hearing???...

Most of us will just ignore and move on their life without correcting their living attitude or try to attempt their goals...OVERALL... no change!! >.<'

Honeybee need honey so they collect honey...

But they were borned with small hand *compare to human* ...and they have to collect as much as they need... 

You might think that ..

'CEH~~~ collect honey only ~~ it's such an as easy as 123~~~'

Collect honey is easy but when the bees need to fly from A to B non-stop under the hot sun or heavy rain to get the enough amount of honey their family need ...

Please dare me to say that there's only 1/100000 willing to do that!...

You gain what you did and you lose once you give up...

If honeybee feel tired and give up from their routine...

the family will die under hunger...

Same goes to us...

No matter what circumstance it is ...

we have to bear with it and continue the tough journey to reach our wish....

once we leave from the journey...

the future changed...

everything changed...

life changed...

We have no worry when we're young ...

teenage still not a problem for us...

When no one is there to support your life , everything need to be pay by yourself , unless you're the golden spoon baby ...else i will never believe if you say you have no worry or stress for your life...

IS LIFE STILL BEAUTIFUL when POVERTY EXIST ??? YES , NO ??

People who never experience will just say life is even more beautiful for the poorer one...

Let's see , if you said that poorer people enjoy their life better than the others because they are content with what they have...

THIS IS BECAUSE they have reach their limit.... who doesn't wish to enjoy a better life or give their next generation a better life?? IF there's a huge basket of gold*god's gift* and placed in front of your door the next morning... Don't you want them ??? well...they can also be donated to the people who need them...

A beautiful life don't contain stress , worry and most important sickness....

Let's say , yes , poorer people content with what they owned... In this modern age , diseases is the big challenge in our life and they threatening us every single second....Without money , life forced to be shortened... 

Donation can be made to rescue someone's life ....

and this proved that money is still important .... 

without it , life cannot be consider beautiful.... 

Materialistic exist as a really powerfull word in our life...

Who in this world can be so generous give all his/her properties to the others and not even single cent left while he/she still alive in this world ... 

We would rather keep them for ourselves or our children or do something which is meaningful such as donation...

Doctors won't be so generous to ALL the patients too...

Maybe you're just so lucky to be one in the million to be saved without any charge...

but how about the others??? 

if they can't pay for it , they have to pay their life....

Life is unfair ...

This is the life too...

Now , is life still beautiful when POVERTY exist ?? ....

Cheongsam, the symbol of Chinese New Year~*

One more week to celebrate the Year of Tiger !!! HUHUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~~
*HU means tiger in Chinese*

There're lot of tradition Do and Do Not during Chinese New Year...

For an example...

DO wear something red or something bright ...

DO clean and beautify house before the Chinese New Year'eve...

DO NOT wear black when visit relatives during Chinese New Year...

DO NOT sweep the floor on the first day of Chinese NEw Year...

Besides...

There're a lot of traditions we need to follow indeed...

As example...

We have to wear Cheongsam and Changshan during the Chinese New Year to inherit the good luck and good things through the year...

The Cheongsam is a body-hugging (modified in Shanghai) one-piece Chinese dress for women while the male version is the Changshan...

Unfortunately....

At this modern age...

we hardly find one dress up in Cheongsam or Changshan on Chinese New Year...

Well...

I LOVE CHEONGSAM!!!!!!!! *_________*

First...

i love Cheongsam because of it's a really fitting outfit...

it can really FORCE my shape out norhx!!!!!!! XP....

Secondly...

it's a symbol of chinese ...

it brings out the elegant and wonderful appearance...

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3

Here are some of my Cheongsam shots ^-^...
