LIfe is like dancing with cinderella

Morning its monday morning and something interesting i found out while listening to the song sang by steve curtis chapman, wohoo that is Cinderella hit me this morning on the radio station while we were coming back from breakfast.

I suggest that you on the song first on the right hand corner before reading this post, as you will understand better what i am writing about whilst hearing the song and the lyrics, really concentrate on the lyrics he is singing, it really is very beautiful. Here is the lyrics:

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me
Saying "Dad, I need you

There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone...

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She will be gone

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Waoo such a lovely and fantastic song, it really is beautiful and it really touched my heart to such a meodious song, this song even manage to make me teary eyed.

Well this song was wrote by steve curtis chapman in remembrance of his passed away daughter, maria sue chapman, whom was only 5 years old and what happen was one day her brother came back home from school and he was parking his car down the runway to the garage and maria was excited to see her brother came back home, so she ran down the runway and the brother did not manage to stop the car in time, he banged her, she went down, took her to the hospital but they could not save her. Such a sad time for the chapman family but to glory be the father as maria sue chapman is now with our heavenly father in heaven. Let us have one moment of silent for her.

Ok thank you, well i will let you know the real meaning of the song on the video by the right hand side, steve curtis chapman will share it himself.

To me the song plays a different role as i do not have any daughter or kids. But i found out one thing that the cinderella can be anybody in you life and i came to understand that life is like dancing, everytime we met someone we are actually dancing with them in life, swaying left right, moving around subconsiously that is.

It is so beautiful when i found out about this, imagine we have so many cinderella's in life, we are always dancing with these cinderella's, the end of it is how much we appreciate and admire the time we spent dancing together with them, will we just rush it through and faster finish the dance or will we slow things down and take our time to dance with these cinderella slowly and beautifully to each song, hoping it will never end.

What i am trying to say is this that everyday of our lifes we do everything we met everyone, but sometimes we tend to rush thing and just want to get it done when we should actually slowly enjoy what we are doing and appreciate it cause soon it will be gone and you can never repeat it again.

For example, like we met friends everyday, we go yum cha and mamak, we go to work together, subconsiousy we are already dancing with these cinderella, yeah they are the cinderella in your lifes, see how we should treat our friends and family in life, they should be like beautiful and pretty cinderella in our lifes, adore and admire them for once in our lifes, enjoy their company, do whatever it takes to slow things down for once ad enjoy every moment of it.

Charles caleb colton, a famous english cleric, writer and collector quotes this about friends:

"Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship....NEVER."

I like to look things at a different prespective

Hi all, well today i like to blog about the way we look and think about something.

Have you ever had moments were everybody was giving a cliche answer for a normal situation but on the other hand you gave a different kind of look, well that is what i do sometimes and maybe i want to look and think about things differently now.

Did you know that our first though about something will be what we expect that thing to be? Did you know that our first though about something will become either something good or bad about the something?

Well the brain is the most amazing and powerful tool in a human i have ever come across, it can make you change, it can even manipulate you, interesting huh? Well just ask all the athletes at the Olympics and they will tell you that sports is 70% mental 30% physical.

One thing i would like to do from now on is that i would think more before actions. I would like to take into consideration about everything around me. I would like to look at things in all sides.

Take for example, you wake up one morning and you go for a jog, you see the sun rise in your local park, to many it will either be Oh no its the sun, aiyoo gonna be so hot later, aiyahyah. or Oh the sun, ok its morning, i better hit home before i get a sunburn or before i start sweating like a pig. or Oh look its the sun, they just glance at it and just continue on their way

But to me, i find it very beautiful everytime i see the rising sun, I would stop what i am doing, I would take a good look at the way the sun rises from the clouds, admire its beautiful rays that penetrates the blue skies and the lightly glowing sunbeam shining down on earth, I would then close my eyes and enjoy the ray of warmth the sun gives out, ahh it is seriously very warm and fuzzy, you should try it yourself,just stop and admire the beauty of this phenomenon, the rising of the sun.

The one thing i really miss when i went to morning class is this, i wake up at either 5.00 or 6.00am to get ready for school and then when i reach school, i wont get a chance to have a great widescreen view of the rising of the sun like i do in my park, and because my class i not facing direct at the sun, i dont get a great full view of the sun.

Yeah so that is one example of how i look differently at things in life. One thing very important i notice if we take time off to enjoy, be grateful and admire what we have even the small things like a cup of coffe in the morning or the people you see in your workplace or school, we find life to be so much more meaningful and life seems so beautiful and just perfect.

I hope that i manage to pass something on to you readers, sorry for being longwinded but truly i really pray hard that your would understand what i am trying to share here, this little changing of thinkings and our looks and perspective of life can change our life's story.

So i leave you with one thing, it does not matter what ever you have, what ever you do, what ever you see, may it be your family, friends, your cup of coffe, your pets, your workplace, your job, your LIFE, jogging, exercising, walking, running, wacthing movie, reading, playing games, using your com, driving, talking, flirting, fellowshiping and etc. ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT, dont loos it out while you have it, this things you do might the same routine everyday and yes sometimes it bores you but LIFE CAN BE PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL IF YOU COULD JUST ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT, even when your alone, what ever you do, dont lament and be sad cause your all alone, enjoy what you are doing.

Thomas jefferson the 3rd president of america who first wrote the declaration of independence for the united state quotes this about life:

"Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits."


What he means is by my understanding, that happiness does not come about in our conditions or place we are in, it comes with us first making sure that everything in life is in a GOOD state.

Sometimes Its better to trust with God's decision

Yup this saturday and sunday was a great weekend.

On saturday i went to smk Catholic high for the 12th annual Bible Knowledge Quiz, boy was it a great time, i really enjoyed my time especially on the LRT ride and the funny thing is after the Bk quiz, i went back home by LRT and my parents called and told me that they will pick me up in the station. So i waited and waited,waited and wait and wait. then they called

'Hello ken, where are you? we are here near the bus stop, we dont see you?'
'I am at the bus stop, i dont see your either, which station are ur in? I am here in Taman Bahagia station.'
'What we are here in the Kelana Jaya station, iayoo never mind we will come get you'

The funniest thing is that they never state which station i was suppose to go, so following my common sense i just went to the station nearest to my home that is Taman Bahagia loh but end up i was suppose to met them at Kelana Jaya.

Well after shopping with my parents at giant, we went back home took a shower and then went to 1U, we went to MPH to read some books, i was just browsing around and then i stumbled upon the men's health magazine, so i was just devouring every piece of information the magazine had on how to get a fit and nice body. After all the reading, wahh i was so thirsty and hungry, so we all decided to go to Coffee bean, we had a chai latte and chicken sandwich, ummmm boy the sandwich it was really filling even after sharing it and the chai latte, emmm boy delicious, mouth watering and satisfying.

Then later it was off to youth for me, we had games, fellowship and makan. Half way we the guys even decided to play a round of table tennis. After that I had the privalage of talking with my best friend KIEW SIEH JIN the KIWI, hehe. get it KIEW and KIWI, haha, ok never mind if its lame.

I was still quite upset and down with what happen with the prom date. so I just shared with him and amazingly he manage to cure me and set me back on track. We talk some more and more and some more until I had to go home.

We all should salute KIEW SIEH JIN for taking the commutor all the way from seremban to selangor just for the BK quiz and youth, and to just see me, SIEH JIN I SALUTE YOU AND RESPECT YOU. Here is a true man and warrior of GOD.

Then after dinner, i was out like a light.

SUNDAY, yea a day of celebration and great joy to be in church to worship and honour our Father in Heaven. Thinking that i was finally cured if my dilemma and broken heart, later that day it came back again, it not that easy as just letting it go, it takes some time to cure. I sat there and my mind was just drifting and wandering, lamenting, sobbing. Just me, myself......

Then came YEW LEUNG, a super duper king kong godzilla dragon tanking food eating not more single caring loving and holy friend of mine. WE just sat and chat and it really made me better and he help set me back on track again.

THANK YOU ALOT YEW LEUNG, your really a great friend.

Well that was my sunday and saturday. Later at 5.00 i would be going for passion, any guys going there, see you and lets ROCK FOR JESUS.

Things never turn out the way you want it to be....

Today is friday and i would be at my happy self, positive and bright. But today was also the day i felt disappointed and crushed into a million pieces, i felt like useless and a loser.

As i wrote i asked the girl to be my prom date and i was waiting patiently for her answer and today was the day that i would have my answer, so as usual today at SMKDJ CF, we had step up step down, with a great band performance by the younger ones and of course the handing over of the posts to the next future leaders. After that it was back home for the rest of us.

As usual i met her outside of school, instead of me first asking her about prom. She straight away answered me and No she cant go because she has none of her friends going with her and she said that there is no place left but i told her that i booked a place for her and because i am the kinda of guy that does not pressure anybody, so i just let here go but she was very kind by apologizing to me and i understand.

But it very sad as this points out something that God does not allow me to form a relationship with her, my dreams crushed... I though i could finallyn impress her to follow me to prom, now it just seems that i have no one special to celebrate prom night with....

I felt very sad and useless and i felt that i did not do enough to impress her, i was so furious at myself, i was angry at myself and all that i've done, why did'nt I just keep fit when i was young? Why was'nt I given a great physique just like the rest of the guys? Why cant i charm her? Why am i not as handsome as the rest? Is there something missing in me that does not work out?

I was just so out and down, so broken, so frustrated, so disappointed, anrgy and so depressed cause i though tht i could finally have something in my life that i would be happy about and proud of, to finally have someone who loves and care for me but that is just all a broken dream now.....

Don't look at the present look at the future

Today i was as usual went to school, came back, had a nap and then later woke up to do my workout but today i felt very low esteemed and my body is just frustrated. My bod and mind did not cooperate with me much today, just constantly throwing negative thoughts at me.

Well i did manage to work out all the way until it came to the jogging part, ohhh boy was my body really frus with me, i look out and woaa its hot but i would just go and jog, sweat and be satisfied with my jog but today is not the same, i am not motivated to even wear on my shoe at all, after exercising,i would usually just slip on my jogging shoe and take off but today it took me sometime to get my mind straight.

I was going to crack anytime soon because i dont see many change in my physical self especially my tummy, hopping that after so long of sit ups, leg press, crunching, push ups, weight lifting, doing the superman and plank, i though i would be looking at a smaller tummy and more muscular one but to my frustration i just saw the same tummy but with a bit skinnier.

So my body keep telling me that you've been in this for 5 weeks now and there is still no change and i was abit worried cause usually there should be a change by now. So i panic and faster called my friend Albert and tell him my story and amazingly i finally figured out that i was not motivated enough today, so simple he told me this.

'Ok kenneth, its only been like what? 5 weeks, yes you would expect drastic changes but you did not. but dont look too much now, you wont regret later in the future, so just presevere and carry on. I mean if you ask anyone they would tell you that you've changed alot.'

waoo after hearing that i was touch and recharged but still a bit down, so i slipped on my shoes and went to the park. Whilst i was doing my warm up, again i was bombarded by negative toughts, in fact i wanted to break down right there in the park but i just took my time, breath the cool air in the hot weather, then i just unknowingly started to pray to GOD and i felt like he was in the wind<>

When i was ready, off i went jogging with my usual 10 rounds but boy was it tough cause with your body felling detiorated and negative minded, it was very hard to keep myself on track and to just going on. After 10 rounds, phew was i poofed cause of the hot weather, i sweat more than usual.

But i found out that i need to have patience and presevere in this things to benefit myself in the future, eventhough i dont see any drastics changes now but in the future i am sure i will see a change and be satisfied with what i did in the past.

Testing my patience to the LIMITS

Haaa another week of another month of another day of another year has come, yes it is almost the end of July and i have so much fond and beautiful memories and experiences in life that i have encountered throughout this month. I look back now and say tell myself good job in holding on tight on hard times and of course succesfully defeating depression everytime it arises, haa i am really happy with my accomplishments.

Well back to my post, yup patience the one thing we humans much really REALLY REALL practice, in this fast paced world where everything must be instant and in a hurry, to be patient in everything is very difficult especially waiting upon someone special. But the best to wait upon is none other than GOD, he make it seem so much easier to wait upon him than the world.

My week this time is really strecthing the limits of my patience and total confident in GOD. This week was also a week full of excitement, remember i told your in the last post that i am going to ask the girl to be my prom date, well i succed in asking her yesterday and it seem like the hardest time in my life to talk.

As usual i was abit afraid but i pulled my guts together and ask her whether or not she want to go to prom with me and that i am willing to pay her. Well she was normal, she smiled, giggled a bit and blush, and told me see first. I replied by telling to take her time in thinking about it.

Well the waiting part is the most patience testing time and most worrying time cause what if she say no in the end, what if she just doesnt care at all? So this is all the question that arises when i am waiting for an answer because i see prom night as my last resort into forming a relationship with her, when all else fails that is my backup plan. Well its only day two but i just cant help the fact that what if she has totally forgotten about it? well i can t speculate.

But this is really testing my patience and seeing how patience i am in this kind of things and to see how confident am i in seeing how i do in this situation, am i positive and confident or will i lose out and be negative about the result.

Well that where the beauty of patience comes, the end result sometimes comes to be what you want it to be and sometimes its just not what you want it to be.

This will benefit in the future as now i know how i really react to this kind of situations and at least i know how to handle this situations better in the future.

I am hoping things will for once go as planned

Ahhh Prom, a day where all senior of my school will met and celebrate our last year together as form 5's and our time to graduate and move on.

Well i am so privileged to have parents who are willing to pay for my prom, it's not that cheap, cost about rm160. But thank God they are so loving and caring and giving their full support.

I have to testify that my mom is the best mom in the world, she is really giving me full support, i ask her if she can sponsor a bit for my prom and she agreed and the best thing, she said money is not a problem, ma will support you 100%. Wow how blessed and privileged am I to have a mom like that.

Well back to my title, Prom is coming soon, its in December but now everything is going like hotcakes to get a prom date and of course so am I. I am currently going to ask this girl, as first i though see whether she goes to the prom and then maybe ask her to be my date then on the dance floor but things are bit hurried when one of my concern friends told me that the girl already has a date, MY JAW DROPPED AND HEART CRACK.

But after thinking for a while, i realize that whatever she is saying is just a rumor and she even confirm with me its just a rumor. So i was calm and wont go into speculating, I decided that i will ask her myself whether she is going to prom and thus letting me know the real truth of whether she already has a date.

I waited after CF to ask her and so my heart was calm, i am as cool as a cucumber, went up to her and ask her whether she was going for prom and to my delight she is undecided whether or not to go prom, Phewww what a relief. Boy was i glad about it.

Then i figured out, now would be the best time to ask her for prom, money no problem, enough for me to pay for both of us. And of course i fear that she would be asked by someone else first and i would lose her, this is my only one chance to ask her for the prom and thing are rush into this kind of situation because i am afraid i will lose her to someone else and another thing the price for prom will be going up in another two weeks.

I am hoping that this time i will succeed in asking her as my prom date. I pray God will grant me this request.
