Everyone's been complaining that everything has gone up uP UP but not the pay. Oh well, quite true, very true, how true...and it IS sad to know the truth (always), isn't it so?
Well, for those who wishes to earn more and NOT doing anything much...easy job easy pay kind (要鲜,要便宜,又要牛不要吃奶 - in Hokkien)...I am glad to tell you that YOUR WISH MAY COME TRUE!!
Just pack your bags for Houston because NASA wants to pay you $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days!
Interesting, isn't it?
This bed-rest experiment, to take place in the Human Test Subject Facility of Johnson Space Center, is designed to allow scientists to study some of the effects of microgravity on the human body.
It is actually quite an easy job....IF you are able to keep lying in bed THROUGHOUT the NINETY (90) DAYS because participants are required to spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours.

Life is full of ups n downs n itz always like a dream but it is good to dream, be it good or bad - waking up to a new beginning, a new chapter, a new life. :)

造句
Friday, November 2, 2007
Received one sms from a good buddy. Will share this as I find that actually the student's quite smart & funny. But as it's in Chinese so very sorry to those who cannot read and understand Chinese. :)
我刚被老师骂了一顿,因为我的造句拿零分。
1)难过 : 我家前面有一条大水沟,很难过去。
2)如果 :可乐不如果汁营养。
3)天真 : 今天真热。
4)十分 : 妹妹只考了十分, 真丢脸。
5) 从容 : 我做事都从容易做起。
6)棉被 : 小玉的卫生棉被偷了。
7)便当 : 弟弟把大便当作每天起床一定要做的事。
亲爱的朋友请问我的造句到底错在那里呀?

Put the Glass Down
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.
He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you
think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm. "It does not matter on
the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for
a minute, it is Ok.
If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold
it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.
It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it
becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be
able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before
holding it up again."
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed
and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work
down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a
moment if you can.
Pick it up again later when you have rested....

Only the Consequences Matter...
Sunday, August 5, 2007
Amidst the morning mist of the swift returning tide I set out on my daily run, my walkman on my side. Lost within my private world apart from cares and woes I ran along the moistened shore, the sand between my toes.
In the distance, I saw a boy, as busy as can be. He was running, stooping, picking up, and tossing in the sea. Just what he threw, I couldn't tell, I looked as I drew near. It seemed to be a rock or shell - as I approached him I could hear:
"Back you go, where you belong. Your safe now hurry home. Your family's waiting for you little starfish, hurry on!" It seemed the evening tide had washed the starfish on the shore, And the swift receding water left a thousand there or more.
And this self-appointed savior, was trying one-by-one To toss them back into the sea, against the racing sun. I saw his plight was hopeless, that most of them would die. I called out from my private world, "Hey Kid, why even try?"
"Must be at least a thousand here, strewn along the beach, And even if you had the time, most you'll never reach. You really think it makes a difference, to waste your time this way?" And then I paused and waited, just to hear what he would say.
He stooped and took another, and looked me in the eye. "It makes a difference to this one sir, this starfish will not die!" With that, he tossed the little life, back where there was hope. He stooped to take another. I could tell this was no joke.
The words that he spoke to me cut like a surgeon's knife. Where I saw only numbers, he saw only life. He didn't see the multitude of starfish on the sand. He only saw the little life he held there in his hand.
He didn't stop to argue, to prove that he was right. He just kept tossing starfish in the sea with all his might. So I too stooped, and I picked up, and I tossed into the sea, And I thought, just what a difference, that this boy has made in me.
In Life, there are neither Rewards nor Punishments, there are only Consequences...

Life Philosophy
Wednesday, August 1, 2007
Here's something to share with you guys...
A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items
in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large
empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to
the top, rocks about 2" diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that
it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course,
rolled into the open areas between the rocks. The students laughed.
He asked his students again if the jar was full? They agreed that
yes, it was.
The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the
jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is
your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your
partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important
to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed.
The pebbles are the other things in life that matter, but on a
smaller scale. The pebbles represent things like your job, your
house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first, there is
no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend
all your energy and time on the small stuff, material things, you
will never have room for the things that are truly most important.
Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life. Play
with your children. Take your partner out dancing.
There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a
dinner party and fix the disposal." Take care of the rocks first -
the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand.
*There's more to come, do come back for new ones...*
