几番考量后终于买下了BlogPress app。希望因为有了ipad如此方便后，可以多些更新我的blog。
当初以为就可以用ipad直接上网更新blog，可是ipad这很会赚钱的家伙，竟然因为没有flash player，所以只能更新文字，而不能上载照片，所以需要另外购买app。
苹果产品，你这令人又爱又恨的家伙！

Top Five Regrets
这篇文章是在一封forward email读到的，觉得很有意义。
Top Five Regrets
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live alife true to myself, not the life others expected of me
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize thattheir life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see howmany dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honored even ahalf of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices theyhad made, or not made. It is very important to try and honor at least some ofyour dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it istoo late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed theirchildren's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of thisregret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the femalepatients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regrettedspending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence. Bysimplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it ispossible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating morespace in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities,ones more suited to your new lifestyle.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express myfeelings
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace withothers. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never becamewho they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating tothe bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people mayinitially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in theend it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Eitherthat or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way,you win.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with myfriends
Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends untiltheir dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many hadbecome so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendshipsslip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not givingfriendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses theirfriends when they are dying. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle tolet friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, thephysical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financialaffairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds thetrue importance for them. They want to get things in order more for thebenefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary toever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in theend. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did notrealize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck inold patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowedinto their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had thempretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deepwithin, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way fromyour mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long beforeyou are dying.Life is a choice. It is YOUR life.Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly.Choose happiness.

天灾的可怕
昨天在日本发生了近年来最严重的大地震，紧接着来的是可怕的海啸。很多其他的地方也随着接到海啸来袭的警号。
网络上有很多流传着很多世界末日将至的预言。我自己并没有特别的相信和不相信，若是真的话，说真的也不能做些什么。倒是看到网络上流传的日本遇难的片段，觉得很心疼。地球真的是生病了。以前念地理时，有学到地震，可是总觉得这是百年才会发生一次的事情，可是，近年来，天灾连连不断，真的是地球对人类发出的警告吗？
这次的事件让我对日本民族多了一份敬意，他们从容，临危不乱及互相扶持的精神实在是大家的好榜样。

我家的三个小少爷
上个星期是Samuel的满月，这个小弟弟让二姐吃了不少苦头，但是感恩的现在大家都健健康康的。Samuel的样子和哥哥Sean小时真的有95%相似度，可是，大家都觉得他的眼睛要比哥哥大一些。
Samuel喝多点奶，快点长大吧！
表哥表弟要相亲相爱
Samuel喝多点奶，快点长大吧！两个家庭到外吃了一顿晚餐，也可以趁机会大家聚一聚。Joshua很爱粘表哥sean，以前表哥都不爱理他，可是，自从弟弟出世后，sean反而爱和表弟joshua玩，有时候还会主动来逗表弟，很可爱。应该很快的就会有三个小男生打架争玩具的时候了。
表哥表弟要相亲相爱Joshua最近好像长大好多了，已经可以自己扶着东西站起来。可是，那天晚上，不知道是不是不习惯穿鞋子竟然不懂得怎么站了，好好笑。Joshua 是个爱笑的孩子，而且，笑起来还蛮大声地，逗得大家也很开心。

有的没的说一通
真的很惭愧，每一次都没有恒心维持我的blog。自从换了工作之后，又没有再来更新我的blog了。换了新工作之后，一切都还好，也没有说太开心，但也没有不开心，就让一切顺其自然就好了。但是总结来说，生活还是开心的，小小的不愉快事情也并没有什么大不了的。最终开心的事比不开心的事来得多就好了。
家里添加了一个新成员 -- samuel，上个星期刚好满月了，有时间再post上照片。
希望每个人天天愉快。

我怕，但我不怕！
开始新工作了。有一点的culture shock，可是希望还应付得来吧！突然间，我觉得回到了5-8年前的世界，因为公司的制度及办事方式跟之前的公司比较起来，真的有些落后。
除此之外，也有被即将要应付的工作量给吓倒，想到又要回到天天部分日夜工作的日子，实在有点怕怕。公司里是预料的有很多的异族同胞，和之前的环境很不一样。
说到这里，其实这所有的改变也算是预料中事。当初对自己说，即使如此也要转换环境，为的是试一试不同的环境，也希望籍此可以多加一点薪水。所以，这一切一切也不算是shock吧。
既来之，则安之。这句话很适合现在的我。不要给自己太大的压力，就尽努力做我可以做的事。两年吧，这是我给自己最短的期限。
下个星期的今天我就会在往澳洲的飞机上，再大的问题，回来再算吧！:)
就算再大的问题也会有解决的方法。所以，我怕，但我不怕！

我爱的声音
眨眼间今天已经是我的假期的最后一天了，但这也代表着明天是一个全新的开始。
今天早上起身决定要到城中城办些永远都办不完的银行事务，之后就到Delicious来杯咖啡，看看书。突然间我被餐厅里周遭的“声音”吸引，放下手上的书本，环顾周遭的环境。其实，这是餐厅里的声音，不叫它杂音，是因为它充满生命力。看看周围，有和工作伙伴认真讨论工作的人，有带着孩子来吃午餐的太太，有些像是工作又像是和朋友聊天的人。也有玻璃碗碟碰撞的声音，也有咖啡及打奶泡发出的声音，伺应生招呼客人的谈话声音。
我很喜欢这所有听到的声音，但是也有点伤心因为明天开始新工作后，不知道几时才能这么悠闲地再享受这令人心醉的氛围。
可是想一想，就是因为自己辛勤工作后，才会更能体会到和更珍惜这对很多来说没什么大不了的时刻。
我爱悠闲时光，更爱付出努力后才能得到的悠闲时光。因为如此，明天开始新的工作，要努力，要加油！

父母的伟大
今天四姐和姐夫需要出席结婚晚宴，将joshua交给我们照顾。
碰巧joshua今天发高烧。早上看了医生吃了药之后，原本已经好很多了，可是，不晓得为什么傍晚时体温又上升了，好不容易喂他吃药后，情况好像有点好转，怎么知道到了晚上10点多时，joshua的体温又上升了。看着他可怜的模样，想哭又哭不出来，扭扭转转的不知道到底他想要怎么样。
后来姐姐和姐夫回来接他时，又喂他吃了一次药。看着他们忧心的样子，让我觉得为人父母真的很不容易。
要怎么样才会知道自己是否准备好了承担孩子的一切，孩子的一生呢？
