Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little. Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
Funny Videos for Enjoyment
whispered @ Sunday, June 25, 2006 by stardusz While browsing through a local forum, I have came across a thread that have a link to a video on how a team of Japanese plan to play tricks on others. It is really funny and lighten my mood. Hope that this video will brighten yours.
Coincidently, I have found another one that video clipping that is just as funny
whispered @ Wednesday, June 21, 2006 by stardusz LOST S1, Episode 25. Have you ever wondered who is that person who is sitting next to you, be it on a plane or on a bus or on a train? Have you ever wondered what he does for a living? Have you ever looked at the person who is sitting next to you and greet him/ her with smile? No, I believed 9 out of 10 person are too busy to notice what is going on around them.
We are individuals, strangers who are made to live and move in a pack. We get on and out of a train as strangers. We are living in our own world, each trying to mind just their own business.
We only break out from our own world when a situation arise; situations that cause a siginificant impact on our lives. We only unite when we are thrown into a new environment; an environment of uncertainties and fear (of the unknown).
The scene in the last few minute of this episode of LOST made me realize how self-centered most of us are, but then it is a norm nowadays, it's no longer an inappropriate thing for us to do; to walk pass someone without a smile.
by stardusz While I was watching LOST S1, episode 22, emotions came on to me like waves hitting against the shores. Recalling what I wished for as a child and comparing that to the current life that I am leading, I discovered that it has derailed from the original track and lost among shattered hopes and bursted dreams.
When I was a little girl, I longed to be a doctor. Besides being a profession that can earn a fair bit of money (or so I thought), my aim was to help the needy, the sick and the poor. However, distractions in life has caused me to derail from this ambition, the career that I (will) have now very different from the original one. I will most probably end up in a profession that I have never thought about when I was a kid. My hope now is to have a career in the IT world; being either a web developer or help some companies in designing and setting up of their sites. I can never be a doctor again, that ambition has evolved and turned into a dream. I bursted my own bubbles then moment I began to slack in school. There's no one that I can blame but myself. I should have stayed focus and make that into a reality.
When I got a little older but am still a greenhorn in life, when I had my first boyfriend. I so wanted him to be my first and last guy in life. I want to love him deep and forever and wanted him to do the same. However, reality is harsh and that made me realised that relationships doesn't last forever. Not only that does a relationship don't last, it is actually a recipe of commitment, compromise with each other, loyal, trust and a few more components. Naturally, my first relationship didn't last (I won't be having such thinking if it lasted) so was the second, the third and so forth.
I noticed that I've changed over the years; from a happy-go-lucky person to someone who rarely smile. Time and reality have change my dreams and crafted me into what I am today. I have to wear a mask at times to hide the errosion that time and reality has done to me. Why can't things just remain like there before? Why can't I just stay as a kid and throw troubles to the farthest possible corner in the world.
I really wish that I could do that, but it's impossible. So long as the Earth revolves around the Sun, Time and Reality will errode everything mercilessly.
whispered @ Thursday, June 15, 2006 by stardusz Ever had your fortune told? How much are you into fortune-telling?
There are many different types of fortune-telling; Feng-shui, tarots cards, palmistry and crystal ball just to name a few.
Recently, I had my fortune told by a shi-fu (master) who knew palmistry. This shi-fu, who is rather old, is from Thailand and is here to help the needy people (he also hopes to gain some funding for his temple). Later, he also gave me a Buddha pendant that was said to be blessed. My initial intention was to listen to the talk that he hosted to find out what does the lines on my palm represent.
Here is a summary of what he has told me:
I am someone who should have a good life but am currently down on my luck (down on my luck seems pretty true; I am currently jobless and have been through a few lousy relationships recently)
I am a smart and creative person (I have been told that I am smart and creative before by teachers and friends)
I am someone who will be a leader as opposed to a follower (this is inline with my character, as I prefer to lead rather then follow)
And last but not least, I'll bring luck and fortune to my future husband-to-be (wow, will that increase the number of people in the queue, I wonder? *haha*)
I believed what he said with a pinch of salt; shi-fus are people who are very experienced in reading someone's mind and body language (judging from his age this one should have been very acute in such abilities). Naturally, when he said something nice about me, I felt happy and my confidence was boosted.However, I reminded myself not to be taken in totally as there is a possibility that I might be hypnotized for a moment. If the shi-fu is unscrupulous, then he can gather a lot of necessary information during that short moment when I am vulerable. I've heard from people that fortune tellers are talented beings who can hypnotize and/or read you via your body language like an open book.
I felt that it is fine to listen, but not to be overly obsessed in what was said. What is important is to not lose faith in yourself; you are what you are, and no one can change you unless you feel in you heart that there is a need for such changes.
whispered @ Friday, June 02, 2006 by stardusz It has been a long time since I've last do any exercise. Always, I have been thinking that I'd better start working out before I get too fat and lazy to do anything but I have been giving myself excuses to "escape" sweat out session. I have become fairer then before, but I used to be well tanned as I swam regularly. The last sport I engaged in was inline skating; which managed to tan me a little as well.
I have a petty medical record, and I can't afford to get a bruise due to the medical treatment I am undergoing. For this reason I can't participate in a dangerous sport; sports that might cause injury are prohibited, so I have stoped inline skating as a result.
Unable to withstand my own laziness, I went back to my tertiary school and swam in the swimming pool. I set myself a target to achieve; do 20laps in this Olympic size swimming pool, that would equal a distance about 1km of swim. After I reached my goal I looked at the clock next to the pool. and discover that my work out took me 25-30min! This goes to show that I am getting old and my stamina is failing me. That timing served as a warning to me; I should exercise more regularly.
After I had completed my swim my friend called me for a game of tennis, which I agreed to (I regretted that now as my muscles are aching). Though I was tired and even bruised myself while playing the game, it was an enjoyable 2-hr session and I am sure I have burn some of my calories away. Another thing good about exercising is that you can get regular bowel movements; removing toxic from the body system.
I have attached pictures of my shoes and tennis skirt that I have bought for this tennis session.
PS: this picture is a gift that I have received recently. The necklace is beautiful. Thanks!!
