you want to catch something, running after it isn't always the best way.

#1 : read somewhere..about wrapping up ur head like a banggali. bad for hair ...break some bonds or some sort

#2 : were u alone? it is because u close the door. did u feel alone? look around and u will see people waiting for your smile, getting close to you

#3: i hate AMERICA. what is with their tax-system? i got effingly taxed! an effing ~ 20pounds. * i will explain further after uploading the photos*

#4: i hate people who give up easily. what more those who give up on me

#5: i reminisced ..on WHAT IFs... which is totally wrong...because everyone knows there is no what IF... hence, the wrong choice of word used, reminisce

#6: i hate people who doesnt give others a chance to grow...to change...

bear in mind that it is not easy to change. hence if one succeeds...please have the decency to pay full respect.

oh well, cmon, be realistic. u just cant squeeze out 'decency' from a person. what more respect

#7: i hate lazy thinkers. when facing issues, a simple " I DONT KNOW" is the world's LOUSIEST answer that one can give. with a HUGE NEON L on the forehead.

any dumbass would know that IT is not the *best* solution. it is a very obvious EASY WAY OUT

#8: ive learned : to think before i REact

#9: ive also learned : not to react with words

#10: i am learning to : care less about less important things. ie: matters which could KILL you. in this case, me. matters which could make me go insane.

#11 : i need to learn to keep myself sane

#12: i am also learning to : sieve through things and only allow pleasant things to flow in. filter out the nasty ones

#13: also learn to: not judge , impetuously.

#14: ive learned to remain calm, in a great deal comparing to the me-before-2009. *cmon! ?? where's my pat-behind my back?*

lastly, i need to learn to have SELF CONTROL! which is to pull myself back to SERIOUS WORK. poor thing. crying out for me.

effing more than 3000 words and i havent conclude yet...

Shrove Tuesday

Shrove Tuesday

Pancakes ©

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent starts: the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It's a day of penitence, to clean the soul, and a day of celebration as the last chance to feast before Lent begins.

Shrove Tuesday is sometimes called Pancake Day after the fried batter recipe traditionally eaten on this day.

But there's more to Shrove Tuesday than pigging out on pancakes or taking part in a public pancake race. The pancakes themselves are part of an ancient custom with deeply religious roots.

Penitence

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving that Christians used to undergo in the past. In shriving, a person confesses their sins and receives absolution for them.

When a person receives absolution for their sins, they are forgiven for them and released from the guilt and pain that they have caused them.

In the Catholic or Orthodox context, the absolution is pronounced by a priest.

This tradition is very old. Over 1000 years ago a monk wrote in the Anglo-Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes:

In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him.Anglo-Saxon Ecclesiastical Institutes

Shrove Tuesday celebrations

Shrove Tuesday is a day of celebration as well as penitence, because it's the last day before Lent.

Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent.

Giving up foods: but not wasting them

During Lent there are many foods that some Christians - historically and today - would not eat: foods such as meat and fish, fats, eggs, and milky foods.

So that no food was wasted, families would have a feast on the shriving Tuesday, and eat up all the foods that wouldn't last the forty days of Lent without going off.

The need to eat up the fats gave rise to the French name Mardi Gras ('fat Tuesday'). Pancakes became associated with Shrove Tuesday as they were a dish that could use up all the eggs, fats and milk in the house with just the addition of flour.

The origin of pancake racing

Pancake races are thought to have begun in 1445. A woman had lost track of the time on Shrove Tuesday, and was busy cooking pancakes in her kitchen.

Suddenly she heard the church bell ringing to call the faithful to church for confession. The woman raced out of her house and ran all the way to church; still holding her frying pan and wearing her apron.

Going for gold in the pancake Olympics

One of the most famous pancake races is held at Olney in Buckinghamshire over a 415 yard course. The rules are strict; contestants have to toss their pancake at both the start and the finish, as well as wearing an apron and a scarf. The race is followed by a church service.

Since 1950 Olney has competed with Liberal in Kansas, which holds an identical race, to see which town can produce the fastest competitor. After the 2000 race, Liberal was leading with 26 wins to Olney's 24.

HERE

In France they call it Mardi Gras, which means Grease or Fat Tuesday.

Born leaders

PEOPLE born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They are practically born leaders, who tend to be eccentric and chauvinistic, with fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent.

Ox people are mentally and physically alert, conservative, methodical, and good with their hands. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. Here are some famous Ox people:

- New York-based Malaysian fashion designer, Zang Toi, June 11, 1961

- Former Prime Minister of Malaysia and Father of Modernisation, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Dec 20, 1925

- Malaysian historian Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim,

March 28, 1937

- Napoleon Bonaparte, Aug 1769

- Margaret Thatcher, Oct 1925

- Adolph Hitler, April 1889

- English footballer Wayne Rooney, Oct 1985

- Diana, Princess of Wales, July 1961

- Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, March 1853

- Walt Disney, Dec 1901

- German model Heidi Klum, June 1973
