There will be sometimes, someday and somewhere when you are bored of your life. Getting bored is normal as daily routines are really BORED. Hereby, it refers to the feelings of not wanting to continue working on the things on your hand and starts to loaf around. Mentioning THE word makes the post sounds more bored. Fortunately, I manged to survive from this boredom disease by amusing myself. Oh yes, I mean, amusing yourself. Below are some pictures which I found on the internet that I made fun of them through humanizing the animals in the picture by adding self scripted descriptions. This is one of the ways that I managed to amuse myself without any bling bling involved. Thanks to the owners of the pictures below.
This is what happen when 2 gray wolves meet. When one of them have been starving for XXX days, while another one is kind enough to let him have a taste
Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda). Devil liked fox due to the "horns" on the head. One of my favourite devil-liked adorable species
This is the consequence of too much of TV & video games.
Forgot to tell you, I am a vegetarian, I don't like "bones". Besides, don't try to cheat a dog with fake bones, you know the consequences when we don't buy it.
I can sleep well only if I smell the familiar stinky "fragrance" of shoe that has never been washed by my owner for a century.
Maybe I can fly like Dumbo!? Should I give it a try?
The thing besides me looks tasty......but it looks familiar to me......peak or peek?
Fennecus Zerda (Fennec Fox)- I need a stretch before my meal.........
Don't be shocked. It's not a chameleon. It's a keyborleon. Keyboard lizard.
Black or White? You will only know what a black sheep looks like when there is a white sheep besides.....
Erm, I am not plucking flowers actually, I am just "maintaining" them.....heheh

One of my favourite catchy song when I feel lazy. Get on the floor and tap some steps and be ready to kick the laziness off!
There are basically 5 things that humans are less likely to
share:
1) MONEY Money is not everything, but everything is about money. We
will be generous to our family and friends, outsiders? Let us think twice. However,
no matter how money can influence any of us, to put things down to earth, it is
just the basic of life. If you can spare some of your money to the needy, you
will get a sincere “thank you” or a grateful smile. Even if you get nothing in return, you will still be
rewarded by happy feeling created by dopamine. Happiness is a feeling that money
can’t buy as it is been rewarded by one’s sincere act and thought.
2) SPOUSE
Our society is a monogamy society; the vow of marriage makes
a couple and their children lawful. Adultery? Unlawful and unethical. We won’t
be able to accept nor tolerate any betrayal from our partner or an existence of a child out of
wedlock. Think twice before trapping yourself in the adverse consequences of
adultery. Headache, waste of time and money, broken family and lose of faith are the free gifts that comes as a package with a pesky lawsuit.
3) TIME
Time is money. We are always busy with our daily activities.
It is a great deal for us to spare our time out for loved ones. Especially in
the city, everything moves fast. Pedestrians are walking fast on the road, cars
are speeding on the road unwilling to spare their time stopping for those who
barely have the chance to cross the road, the bus driver was so desperate to
send his passengers to their destination that they (who packed like sardins in
a can) can hardly stand on their feet when the driver accelerates or abruptly
stops the vehicle. Time is precious, but when it is spared for good purpose, it
has its value.
4) LOVE
Most people want to be loved and I always heard of “I want
to be loved” instead of “I want to love…” As receiving is more easier than giving. The act of give involves letting go of something of your possession (whether it is physical or psychological), whereby generosity and courage are needed to let go something that is dear to you. Love is sacrifice, remember? Dare to contribute, and be grateful to receive. However, it is critical to know the difference and the thin line between love, melodramatic and amorous adventure, as it makes vast different to your life if you have misconception or misuse of these three, if you know what I mean.
5) LIFE Life hereby refers to lifetime. Dealing with people is
difficult, but you may escape with your brilliant social techniques. However,
sharing lifetime is totally a different deal. We all are sharing life with
people, the closest proximity ---- our family. Sometimes, we will have quarrels
and misunderstanding between family members. These are inevitable, however,
because of the blood-tie, we are able to tolerate and forgive easily. But when
it comes to your beloved, grudges and
contradictions of opinions are hard to be forgiven. Perhaps we do not want to feel that our partner is different from us, as we will feel a bonding distance. But come to think of it, which 2 individuals are the same? Nevertheless, difference brings togetherness. Though we all don't want to admit but undeniable, marriage is the proof.
The sharing of Time, Love and Life was evidenced by a pair of old couple, who were senior citizens in their seventies (or eighties),
walking slowly with their hands holding, sharing their time and their steps
together.
The mall was fully packed with shoppers today, and it was
especially crowded in restaurants and cinemas.I was sitting on a bench for a rest, watching the shoppers
passed by. Without realizing where I was staring at, my eyes laid their focus
on a pair of old couples holding their hands, walking slowly enjoying their
window shopping. They were so eye catching in the crowd, it was not of their
age, but of the way they walked together. I had seen lots of couples (hereby
refer to couples age 50 and above) came for shopping, but none of them held
their hands together. This was the first time in my lifetime that I had seen old couple in
their seventies or eighties holding hands walking in public.
Personally, the old couple was phenomenal. Three reasons for
that:
1) Though I am in a modern and open minded society, the norm of old couples in my society: walk separately
(perhaps this maybe due to wide personal distance), sharing of steps are
considered to be rare, not even to mention holding hands (this is only widely
seen among youngsters and young couples, not to mention about PDA)
2) Mortality of either one couple
3) The break of fidelity between partners
Referring to my post of Love--- The French Cuisine, it is easy to start a relationship and difficult to maintain a long lasting one however. For those who had involved in a marriage of more than 30 years would understand what I meant here. Eventhough marriage is a lifetime commitment, it would be miserable to treat a relationship as a commitment and "endure" it instead of experiencing and enjoying it. Dealing with loved ones are easier to be said than done, as their feelings are more delicate than you could ever imagined. Tolerance is only effective in the short term, nevertheless, understanding and acceptance can make a relationship long lasting in the long term. The old couple have shared more than half of century of time together, it is difficult for me as an outsider to imagine how much of understanding, faith, tolerance, support and selfless love were
inputted into their lifetime together. They were the real life example of sharing of time, love
and life. And they too, has reflected that whenever and wherever there is love, everyday is Valentine's Day.
I would always prefer to describe a relationship as dining
on cuisine. Hereby I will specifically refer to western cuisine. Since our main
focus here is not about food (though I have minimum self-control to it), let’s
categorize a general western cuisine into 3 courses: the appetizer, the main
course and finally the dessert.
The appetizer, as the
word presents itself, fresh and appetizing to describe the subtle feeling and
the dubious relationship between two individuals. Chemistry happens anytime
anywhere unknowingly. You will be wondering why you have started to have
interest in something that you never eyes on before or you will be listening to
songs that are not of your favourite genre etc. And the scary part of this
stage is you don’t even know how it happens and when it happens, and it may be
too late when you realize, as you will be finding that you are stuck in the
dilemma. One thing I found interesting about this stage is that the subtle
feeling has the effect of caffeine and nicotine, which is rather addictive as
it gives the same effect as consuming opium.
The main course stage, where couples started to have a
better understanding with each other, often accompanied by fiery passion and
promises made for life. This stage is often the peak of a relationship and the
beginning of marriage. Besides, it is also the most fragile part of a
relationship as challenges and problems emerge when sharing life with each
other, coupled with work and financial stress, new married couples are likely
to face arguments and contradicting opinions in some situations. It will be
critical to solve the problems and arguments faced as soon as possible before
they roll into enormous snowballs which may lead to breakups and divorces.
Hereby, proper communications, understanding and acceptance play a vital role
in bringing the relationship to a deeper level. Selfishness, timid and
avoidance are the major reasons that will fail a relationship. If couples
manage to overcome the ups and downs together with selflessness, courage and
faith in each other, they will proceed to the dessert stage where they will be
facing additional challenge-- their children.
The final stage-- the dessert, most passion and
compassionate love cools off and be replaced by companionship and the component
of family. Couple now treats each other more like family members than lovers
where they used to BEFORE (in the main course stage) and children become the
center of the relationship. In this stage, family matters and it is also the
most sensitive stage in a relationship. As understandings get deeper day by
day, the passionate interest in each other may be fading as time goes by (there
may be exceptions however). Thus, it is crucial to refresh sweet memories or to
create new memories together.
The blogger’s opinion is that a preferred relationship
should undergo the courses of a French cuisine, all in minimal quantity,
instead of having the American cuisine’s large portion. The main reason why
most French are able to maintain their body figure is the small serving of
French cuisine, patrons who are dining on it will not be likely to get bloated
or reaching their satiety too soon before finishing the whole meal.
Love should flow like a stream, bit by bit and continuously.
It should be appreciated like a piece of abstract art, brain teasing and
inspirational; and should be like a French cuisine, so as to maintain its
freshness, excitement and surprises. Love should also help each other grow in a
relationship. Couple can be as loving as lovers, as understanding as friends
and as supportive as family.
Relationship between two individuals is simple yet complex
at the same time. Falling in love is easy, but sharing your life together and
getting to know and bear with each other is another matter. Which two
individuals are totally alike in this world? Even your teeth will accidentally
bite your tongue occasionally. Tolerance is not a good way out for a
relationship of two different individuals to work. Faith, understanding,
acceptance and perseverance are the secrets of most successful relationships.
For those who are in
a relationship, may you always be loving, understanding and have a long lasting
relationship. For those who are undergoing challenges in a relationship, may
you always be courageous and persevere in facing and solving all obstacles
along the way. And for singles, may you have all the love and luck in finding
your soul mate.
Happy Lantern Festival / Happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
