"You are never a burden.. don't ever think that. Friends need each other to pick them up when they are down and I would do nothing less. "
Dawn Drover~ Twisted Sister
A Million Dollar Friend is the kind of person who instinctively knows what it means to be a good friend; this kind of person makes you look forward to the days ahead and fondly remember the days that have passed. ~ A Nice Place In The Sun
And let me just say that, to me, the people I list below are Million Dollar Friends because they are always there with a good word and a cheery greeting. They are kind and thoughtful people who brighten my day every day. I know if I call on them for help or advice they'd respond without hesitation.~ maryt/theteach
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things. ~Napaboaniya/Elaine

Here's sharing this award to all those participating in the World Wide Linky Tag :)
MaryT bestowed on me the Circle of Friends award.
A little about MaryT. Mary is a college teacher of literature. I've enjoyed many happy moments via email and comments with her, filled with harmless teasing here and there. There was a period of time her home connection was down and she had no access to the internet. Then, I felt a sense of lost. Asking myself "I wonder how is she? Will she be back online soon?" It was around that time, I've realized how much I've enjoyed her company online, reading her very entertaining and educational posts. There's always something on her post that makes me smile,laugh and learn. She was the one that showed me how to read and write Roman Numerals. I remember how much fun it was practicing it with all sorts of numbers, from birth-dates to phone numbers!!! She's a blogger friend I've made which I'll cherish.Here's what the creator of the award Phyl has said about this award:
I have lots of girls in my circle and decided that they all needed to know that someone cares about them and appreciate the difference they make in my life. If you are here it may be because I tagged you as one of the girls in my circle! If I didn’t tag you , no offense intended. Tag! You’re it! Consider yourself tagged.” I am going to say TAG to anyone who wants to play along! I consider the “Grateful Gals” a huge part of my circle so please play if you like. The reason these girls are a must read for me….. They are always encouraging, looking for the possibilities instead of pitfalls. Approaching Life with a sense of thoughtfulness and in some cases, humor. They are quick to offer a prayer, or ask for one. Sharing their lives on an almost daily basis is a huge source of joy for me. I hope you will take the time to read them.

The Gratitude with Attitude award was created by Greatfullivin of Gratitude Journal.
It has been passed down to me by MaryT of Work of the Poet.
Mary's a real nice lady I've known from blogging. Her posts are always informative and I get to power up my mostly dysfunctional brain with it. If you've not visited her before, visit her now and power up your knowledge :)
It's by far one of the most captivating and inspiring awards I've received so far.
Gratitude with Attitude it's name speaks of itself. Here's sharing the words of the creator, Greatfullivin.
"I am so Thankful for all of you who visit regularly, even when I am irregular. :::laughing now::: I appreciate you all so much! I love hearing about your Gratitude and I love that some of you have carried a Grateful theme to your own blogs! I love that you understand being Thankful is not about a passive attitude. It’s about learning. It’s about seeing things different, having new eyes! Gratitude is about keeping that happy positive outlook on life…even when things don’t go the way we want them to. It is not about giving in, lying down or accepting everybody else’s rules it’s about making your own rules! Doing what you do with a happy grateful attitude keeping the “sour” to yourself. Gratitude IS Attitude!"
These 5 wonderful awards were also bestowed on me by kind blogger buddy Healy.I'm so glad that I received the Peace Award!! Why? Cause I created it..LOL and it feels good to have it awarded back at me :)
Peace award was created on Valentine's Day 2008. Meant for love, friendship and peace around everyone. World peace, home peace, office political peace and actually most importantly self-found peace with one's own life.
There's a mp3 player on my blog at the top right hand corner.
Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis.
Great song and lyrics.

I can finally fully understand the Cantonese saying of '看你后面,赠你前面' (See your back, hate your front) !! I've got neighbors from hell that I've yet to face but the sounds of them are driving me bonkers already! A couple of weeks before the lunar new year, there were renovation works going on. The renovations caused everyone including the dog to almost go deaf with all the drilling and whatever. There's also the endless dusts floating around.
Renovations came to a standstill all the way during the 15 days of new year. A week ago, the drilling came back. Fine!! Of course there's bound to be drilling works during home renovations. But I thought it's under the law to clear whatever rubbish you've created after renovations EVERYDAY? How come the entire lobby area has got almost an inch of dust?
But the thing that irritated everyone at home, is the way the new neighbors SLAM and yes SLAM their wooden door. Which by the way, are not the size of normal bed room doors, it's twice the size which are heavy. Imagine those doors getting slam every 5 minutes, doesn't help that I'm sitting just CENTIMETERS away in my dining area. I jump up in fright every damn time that door slams! My dog growls and walk into the bedroom. For once I wished my dog was trained to be on the "Bite" command!!
I don't the least understand the need of walking in and out every 5 minutes and having to slam the damn door! Are those people deaf or the slamming of doors sound like rock and roll to them?!?!!
There's only 3 families on this level, 2 houses side by side (which is the neighbors from hell and my family) and the other family is right at the other corner (lucky them!!!). Before these neighbors from hell arrived, it was a family only consisting of a childless couple with the mom beside us. They? They were angels sent from heaven!
I miss my old neighbors!!!!!! *wailz* I miss the old lady!!! The quietness I took for granted while they were here. The friendly faces that greeted us whenever we meet at our doors.
Now its bye bye to friendly neighbors hello to neighbors from hell *bangs.wall* The Man commented that I've gotta count my lucky stars that at least the new neighbors weren't Indians! Yah right!! Like I'm suppose to pop champagne or something to celebrate! In the recent years, the entire condominium is filled with the Indian community!! What used to be a common sight of domestic helpers with their wards at the playpen has been transformed into Mini Little India during the evenings. Thanks to the newly located Indian International Global School near our premises. All the Indian expats are moving into this area.
I'm not racist against the Indians, but having a mini community of Indian wives with their kids yakking at their top of their voices is not my ideal home of peace and quietness. The other family living on the same floor are Indian expats as well. They are fine, and I love their daughter to bits! I've seen her since she was still in the tummy of her mother and watched her grow into this adorable beautiful 4 year old. She walks into my house just like her own house and never fails to make us laugh pulling open drawers to get snacks. Her mom unlike the rest of the Indian community members dun yak her lungs out downstairs at the playpen.
Mary bestowed on me the "You Light Up My Life" award yesterday.
Mary designed it and that looks like her in the picture... cool huh!

I would grab L and kiss her now if she was right here with me! I woke up with the usual dose of Monday blues laden with cough and a bad migraine. Her message via MSN got me jumping up and clicking my heels!
