From time to time, I will excerpt a story, a short text or even few lines from my favourite book--Tuesday with Morrie, by Mitch Albom. The book taught me life's greatest lessons...Above all, the Compassion which is lacking while aging. :)
"On this day, Morrie says he has an exercise for us to try. We are to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying on another student to catch us. Most of us are uncomfortable with this, and we cannot let go for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves. We laugh in embarrassment.
Finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl, crosses her arms over her chest, closes her eyes, leans back, and...For a moment, I am sure she is going to thump on the floor. At the last instant, her partner grabs her head and shoulders and yanks her up harshly.
Morrie finally smiles.
"You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes, you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too---even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
Natalie: Believing others is not easy; but worth trying. :)

心情写照
细雨午后,懒洋洋的趴在书桌,听着燕姿熟悉的歌声。已经许久没有拼一拼方块字了,心中有点丁儿怀恋这一块块优美的文字。犹如一颗颗音符跳起旋律迷人的舞支。踏入梦境。
我曾经是个追梦的女孩。不歇也不惧地抱着我的梦上路。差点就忘了我是那么的固执。而如今,却似乎失去了心的方向。脚步也不再那么坚定。究竟是为何?是因年龄增长了,那股炽热随着减少呵?摆脱了少年的情怀,也遗失了作日的梦想。
“今日迥迥而行,他日化蝶飞去。” 我期盼这一天的到来。// 桑子

Pinky bar
Oh, Cadbury's Pinky choc bar :) I am not a Chocaholic. But will find one whenever I have my sweet tooth :p The bitter-sweet taste, the instant melting texture, and the hidden nuts/rasins definitely grab my attention once awhile. The Pinky bar above was a gift from a friend which was brought in from NZ.
After one bite, I took this picture showing a thin-coated choc with pink coloured and strawberry flavoured Marshmallow filling in centre. :) Not to forget to mention a layer of caramel cream in between. Yummy review from Natalie/^^Labels: Foods
