The place where Cinderalla and Robin Hood live !

Thursday, July 05, 2007

Don't you think this place looks just like the place that comes right out of your story book ?

These photos were taken at lookout mountain @ Chattanooga, Tennessee. A place where my husband spend a lot of his childhood times. A place full of sweet memories with grandpa and grandma.

I fall in love with this place and might be someday we will pack and move from Florida to here :)-

Ok. I know it is not clear, but look closely, you might be able to read Red Robin Hood ?

How to motivate yourself ?

I was inspired to write this article because I have read negative people blog and positive people blog.

Negative people blamed everyone, everything, every circumstances on earth except themselves. Positive people do not know let any excuses hinder them from achieving what they have set for !

It was very interesting to read people blamed their life destination on American's immigration policy. It is as if the only country to have a comfortable life or make it big is in America. They forget that there is a Lee Ka Shing ? It is very interesting to read people blaming their career mishaps on their employers.

But, the world is a wonderful place because there are more positive people than negative people. Blogs like these truly put a smile on my face.

And you ? A healthy person ? You complain ?

And why ? Are these stopping points stop you from moving ?

Your 15 BIGGEST Stopping Points by Jenny How

Blaming on others, on circumstances, on things is a coward behavior and bad attitude. The attitude will get you nowhere. Think again before you blame others, policies, circumstances the next time you want to do it !!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell yourself from today onwards to think positively. Give thanks to God for everyday HE has given you breath !!!

Summer Holiday 2007 (1)

We have a wonderful holiday. We went to Chattanooga, TN for 2 days then we stopped by Knoxville, TN to visit University of Tennessee @ Knoxville where the VOLS (the university football team) was located.

We then droved to Pigeon Fort (where Dollywood was located) and Gatlinburg. However, we gave up on going to Pigeon Fort and Gatlinburg(heart of the smoky mountain) because the traffic was horrible. It must be the Fourth of July's traveling bug. It is a pity that we did not make it this time because that area has the best scene of Smoky mountain.

After our U-turn back, we drove to Asheville, NC. A city where the outdoor cafers never sleep. The next day we went to Black Mountain, NC for a day trip. Areas around Black mountain are beautiful and a lot of quaint little towns. If you are into Billy Gram the evangelist, you know he lives in Montreat, N. C, which is in Black Mountain area.
When we got back to Asheville, we walked around the downtown area. Asheville though is not a big city but it has this cosmopolitian feel of a big city, lot of open cafes, lot of art galleries, lot of funky kind of shops.

At the Georgia rest area. See how we love race car ?

Going through Atlanta city , Georgia. Do you know CNN headquarter is in Atlanta ?

To the mountain we go :)

Tennessee, here we are !

A creative idea, do you have one ?

Wednesday, July 04, 2007

Many people write about how to make $ on the internet through blogging. Many people think of making lots of $ through honest mean and dishonest mean. Many people boast of their success, many people keep quiet about their success.

I never forget what my late paternal grandma who was 1/2 Melanau used to tell me about a Chinese proverb : the same kind of rice produce many kind of people :). I think the English equivalent is every individual is unique.

I used to work for a very successful Entrepreneur who used to tell me something which I will remember for life. He said something along this line, when you want to get rich, don't think of how to make $, but think of how to be successful. $ will eventually follow success. They are twins. He always told me to think of creating something or some systems that will duplicate itself even after I die :).

So far, I have not created anything that is a real success or a hit except producing a son that is a duplicate of me :):).

Do you have a creative idea to share ? Whoever created this man made water fountain, sure do ! Isn't that intricate , you ask ? How could the faucet stand on its own ? Do you want to guess how the faucet stand on its own with running water. It is not done by the magician David Copperfield :)-.

In fact, the answer is very simple. It is a very innovative idea. The cost to make this water fountain is very minimum but it sure is a hot items on tourist spots on smoky mountain...

How many blogs you read daily ?

I know I am a blog addict.
I wish I am more tech savyy where I own a handhold computer where I can blog. But, I don't :)-.
I go to a mortal school to get a real degree but I also spend a lot of times on virtual school getting blogging e-degree.
I talk a lot on the blog but in real life I can be quiet if I want to. In fact, I am quite a loner in life. I travel round the world for 12months all by myself :)-. I traveled to/fro H.K/K.L alone for a number of years. I love companies but I also love solitaire.
This blogging thing has gotten me hooked !
I don't know about you, I read at least 3-5 new blogs every day.
How about you ? Do you read a number of new blogs every day or you stick with your friends blogs ?
