The Blue Moon.

31st August 2012 is not only special because of the national day celebration of my beloved country, Malaysia. This year, it's even more special due to the appearance of the 'Blue Moon'.

When I first heard about it a few weeks ago, I actually thought that the moon will appear blue on that night because of some extraordinary space event. My excitement was short-lived; it was crashed by the Google within a few hours.

The 'blue moon' is actually a phenomenon in which the full moon appears for the second time within a month's duration. This is because the moon usually completes an orbit around the Earth in 29.5 days, but a month is usually 30 or 31 days except for the month of February. So, full moon appears twice a month every two and a half years on average according to NASA.

The most beautiful advice.

Today, I received the most beautiful advice ever in my e-mail. It’s quite long, but it’s very meaningful. Have a look and give it some thought!
An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future.. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1.. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.

The link between man and god.

This is an interesting e-mail that I’ve got from someone. Please read it. I’m sure it will open up your mind.
