Hi February 2010

Time is really quick and it doesn't give a damn about a thing. Well, hopefully it will slow down a little as Chinese New Year arrives.. ^_^

Anyway, reading my CLEO leftovers on internal body fat and career coaching, almost missed these great articles way back. I was also reading about an interview posted out by jj.. though we really crossed opinions, but the excerpt was an eye opener to amateurs like me about world leaders.. Now let's see where's the link.. Yeah, I would like to coincide with a laughter phrase some gila old woman sent me recently..

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
~Ronald Reagan

You might not get it for the first time, if yes then you have the credits. Maybe you would like to google for 'world's oldest profession' to get a better understanding..


I forced this to be a stay-in weekend. Too much bullshit party and work since when. Well, it was nice to sleep at 10pm and woke up at 8am though, enough, early and plenty of time. Perhaps a little discipline won't kill. The crude badminton sessions got my old joints cranking, but sports always feel darn good.

January was all that ground work, exams, meeting a lot a lot of people till you get tired, work, work, work and surprisingly each day passed with more meaning instead of those dying days. February will be a place to rip the ripen fruits. It is really overwhelming and I've really got nothing to say.. I just need to be frank and keep my fingers crossed. I mean.. I am looking at this, people around me are looking at it too.. and i anticipate their expression.. and my own feelings as well.. I wonder how would it hit me?

I am really looking forward to be home as always, get to drive, eat and sleep like a pig. It's a week plus more and it's getting exciting!! and gonna hug that canny pup of mine!!!!!

Finally have some time

Hi dearest bloggy,

I know that my blog has been rather lengthy, most probably a lot of things running in my mind but difficult to be conveyed in a comfortable manner.. and it has been less pictures ever since.. due to end of university life, less sparks, more routine, blah blah.. and i don't want to show you my overweight face here :P but i know all of you reading this could not love me less.

The temptation is high, feeling rather stoical tonight brings numbness and peace. These are the golden years. If you don't suffer now, when will you? I taste the sweet among bitter, I see what I haven't seen before and feel very multidirectional. How much could we remember after this?

If you think you are having a hard time...

Think war zones, where people could hardly keep themselves alive
Think of countries where food is so limited, people eat to live..not live to eat
Think of orphans who does not have a family at all..
Think of the less fortunates who need helping tools to walk, to hear and to live..

Think of all the things that you have....
Think of all the things that other's don't have...

Gah.. we should live on.. despite which direction, where ever I will be in time to come and be with the people that I would belong to..

WORRY? Succumb to it, worry it. Do not prevent from worrying, it will only cause suffocation. Worries never cease but they are like passerbys.. you'll never recall nor remember each that has walked through..

Missing it, missing it so so much.. tell them, tell him.. It feels good.. no regrets. And you'll know the answer..

Read Yasmin Ahmad's blog today, totally blown away. Feeling to rewind and become an artist instead.. haha.. Am I easily inspired, influenced and blended into? I guess I shall grab a cuppa and continue reading.. the night is young and saturday could not feel any less great in its ways... :)

Remember to go home this chinese new year ^_^

Windy..

Today seems a bit empty to write about anything.. I think everyone is getting on with their lives. Will they occasionally feel what I feel sometimes? What do you think about everyday when you wake up together with or before the sun rise? Do you see your rainbow? or just another path to hell every morning..

Most of the time, i will be late in the morning, so chasing buses and trains are just a norm.. thus, it takes off most of the things i don't wanna think about.. If my brain gets a lil bored, i'll think of impossible dreams like.. flying a hot air balloon all by myself around the globe, go for camel racing in the desert, maybe go back to Ipoh and do absolutely nothing for a year or two.. go and confess to the boy who is married/engaged (LOL kidding..okay maybe serious =)) ).. THEN.. perhaps maybe something rather achievable.. pick up guitar, learn swedish, do boat helming at the yacht, cooking lessons (fried rice, french gourmet.. now i feel that chopping garlics can make you go into deep thinking too..no doubt people cut their fingers most of the time =.="), a carribean deep dive, hmm hmm... and maybe a super light weight Boot Camp-ed mac pro..

ok coming back.

Today is a good day.. because it is. hahahaha. have a nice day :)

Finish me, says the chocolate

Hi there, happy new year :) Welcome 2010, means welcoming the quarter century number, as well as the quarter life crisis altogether.

Anyway, has been watching a real heart-breaking movie called THE COVE on new year's day. People, you guys should really catch a hold of it. If you can't, write me your address, i'll post it to you in a week's time. It talks about dolphin killings in a small town name Taiji in Japan. Well it kept me depressed for more than 24 hours, I think maybe for the rest of my life. It reveals the 'role' of the governments of the world, relevant organization towards this issue, corruption, denial, blame and all the things that you could thought of which could be a solution, is not a solution at all. WWF is not in the picture at all.What are we actually doing to mother earth ... What are in those cruel brains seriously? It isn't even money. They do it because it is an instructional culture. The west ask them to stop, they do it even more. Cried so much on this documentary, seriously, heart aching.

Experiencing it myself, green sustainability itself in Singapore, they build exhibitions before laying out proper conservation steps. The organization, they contact the media, they get the ministry people and ministers in, they make sure the government knows what they are doing, making meetings, spending money on food, experts presentation... but where are the steps to prevent global warming and nature conservation? They don't even have a recycle bin to be seen anywhere. Anyway, Singapore has no nature to preserve.

Let's not talk specific. Look at human's act, we are not doing anything about it. We have no awareness, no obligation to even care, and just get on with our sweet life. When i write in to help, they turn deaf ears. So now i wonder, where the donation really goes to. I myself is guilty in crime too. Before i went down to the sea beds, how immature i was to think that everything was as beautiful as drafted in Disney's Little mermaid, but it's not. We have nothing much left. We will lose this all very soon.

Ignorant fools we are, the main villain which destroys the earth's most precious gift to us. That's how dirty humans are. In 50 years, we will loose all nature, and kill ourselves inadvertently towards greed.
