What if....

What if….

There are so many what if in my mind…And the feeling to blog just come and go…

Work has been really hectic….

I just feel that the longer I work the worst I feel…..

Felt like I still have not mastered a lot of things…

Is the process complicated or it’s me that is SLOW….

I had always had these 2 words in my mind….

WHAT IF…..

1) My mum suddenly left me all alone? Going on with her journey?

2) My eyes are not able to see anymore?

3) Today is my last day?

4) I suddenly become paralyze?

5) I suddenly die in a freak accident?

6) I step on the banana skin, fall and break my leg?

7) What if I started smoking?

8) And the list goes on and on and on and on……

What if really one of those listed really happen?

What will I become?

Will I still be strong as I am now?

Or things will be different?

There are millions of what if in this world…

Many with no answers….

I always have doubt in my mind….

My mind is always thinking about those WHAT IF questions…..

Not wanting the WHAT IF to become reality….

Just wanting to live in a fantasy…

Where everything seems so perfect…

Life without a scar or a scratch….

Sometimes….

We are forced to go through all this….

Not being given the chance to choose….

This is what everyone called as LIFE….

Not only that….

There are also 2 words that we always come across….

SOMETHING NEW….

Everyday….

Learning something new is definitely way to improve life…

Not failing to learn something is a blessing…

It is also an added experience for future undertakings….

During my graduation….

I heard the valedictorian mention this….

Before we succeed in anything…

We have to start from scratch or from the bottom….

Nothing is easy….

Always be humble….

For example,

Before you learn how to run, you need to learn how to walk and crawl first….

At times where you are so desperate for something….

Remember that nothing ever beats a HAPPY LIFE…

As long as you’re happy the world will be happy for you…

And also your love ones will be happy…..

A short posting to shout out what is in my mind….. :)

Oprah's Big Give show

Oprah's Big Give show is the most exciting and much-anticipated new primetime series that defies television convention with the bold idea of people competing to give rather than get.

In eight one-hour episodes, a diverse, determined and competitive group of ten people are given the challenge of a lifetime to change the lives of complete strangers in the most creative and dramatic ways. In this intense competition, the contestants criss-cross the country, scrambling to find ways to impact the fates and fortunes of unsuspecting people who are in for the surprise of their lives. Lives will be changed in the blink of an eye as contestants race against time to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences and also give away hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The series premiere, "Episode 101," kicks off in Los Angeles, where Oprah hands ten contestants sealed envelopes with only a picture and the name of a complete stranger. Under intense pressure, they must give big to change this person's life in just five days. The contestants must use their creativity and resources to generate the most powerful and sensational ways to make a real difference, and with the clock ticking, the competition, drama and emotion mount and the contestants' stamina, creativity and drive are tested. This first dramatic challenge will send one person packing.

In the end, there is only one rule in "Oprah's Big Give": YOU EITHER GIVE BIG OR YOU GO HOME.

As the episodes continue, the "gives" get even bigger, the guest stars get brighter and tensions mount, all culminating in the exciting series finale where The Biggest Giver will become the biggest winner. What the contestants don't know — and only viewers do — is that Oprah Winfrey will surprise The Biggest Giver with a whopping $1 million prize.

The ten contestants were discovered in auditions held in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Nashville and represent all walks of life, from a pageant queen and a pre-med student to a paraplegic and a young dot-com millionaire. They include:

• Angelo, 30, a West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran from Ann Arbor, MI
• Brandi, 23, a pageant queen from Chicago, IL
• Cameron, 22, an entrepreneur and dot-com millionaire from Roanoke, VA
• Carlana, 38, a paraplegic, author and media executive from Glendale, CA
• Eric, 37, a former model who now works as a disaster relief worker from Boston,MA
• Kim, 39, an NFL marketing specialist from Brentwood, TN
• Marlene, 37, a train attendant from Chicago, IL
• Olussegun "Sheg", 23, a pre-med student from Nashville, TN
• Rachael, 31, a singer and actress from Los Angeles, CA
• Stephen, 43, a real estate developer from Bedford, NY

I have a dream too. My first dream is to have a Clara’s Big Give show. I was so touched by watching this show. Every episode I watch definitely tears would roll down my cheek because this show is really touching. If anyone one of you out there have the opportunity to download this series please watch. This series is so meaningful. I really wish I had the money so that I can give out and help those people in need.

One of my favourite moments in this series is episode 106. In this episode they are actually going to help 2 families. The one family that I was very touched is the family that the father had cancer. And it was confirmed that he is going to die in another 3 months if I am not mistaken. I was touched by watching how the The Big Give is able to help this family. I just briefly explained what happen. This man, he has cancer and mortgaged the house and a lot of loan debts he need to repay to the bank has not been cleared due to his condition he is not able to work. He is survived by 2 beautiful daughters. His wife’s brother and sister were given a chance by the Big Give to surprise him to make his dream come true before he die that is able to clear all his debts and have some cash in hand enough to send his daughters to universities. He is actually very worried about this because once he die they family will have a heavy burden on their shoulder.

The Big Give helped him by getting Ford Company to sponsor a caravan for his family. Not only that, they have also help him cleared all his debts. He has actually no more worries about his family once he is not around anymore. Not only that, the Big Give actually an outing day for the whole family so that when he is not around his family will remember this happy moment together. This is briefly about this one episode that I like the most in this series.

The top 3 of this series are : -

From my left is Cameron, Brandi and Stephen....Cameron is so damn CUTE...He is such a cutie.:D
