2011

I haven't been blogging much, no. Although I do have quite a few things in mind, which I'll probably procrastinate. But seeing that 2011 is coming to an end, I find it fitting that I at least put up one last post. As usual I can't really remember what happens month by month, which reminds me...I should do a wrap up after every month just to keep my sanity in check. But I guess, this year has been a great year of awakening. I realised 2 most important virtue/value/principle that I would like to see in myself: hardworking & initiative. I think...

Lord of The Rings

The Lord of the Rings... Hmmm.. I think no words can do this movie justice, so I'm just glad I had the chance to watch all three of them this past week. And I have to say, what a show! There's no beating the last few scenes in Return of the King. There's just so much to love and so much to learn. The Hobbits taught me a great deal. Their love for simple wants and needs are very inspiring, and it has left me with a feeling unlike no other. Faith also plays a big part in this movie. And faith has been a big question mark in my life recently. There's...

On the First Day of Christmas...

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me.  What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?   This week, I found out.  From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two...

While on a shopping mission, stomachs do get hungry. And this time around, guess what's for lunch? PIZZA!

Work...?

I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Chan Kah Yein's dhamma talk at SJBA this morning. I almost didn't attend to make way for revision, but I was intrigued by the topic today. I don't remember the exact title, but it's about working hard in the Buddhist perspective. The main misconception, as Dr. Chan stated outright, is justifying laziness as taking the Middle Path. The Middle Path is practiced by Buddhist but it's not an excuse to not work hard. I won't go into details, but here are some interesting notes that I managed to capture during her...

Quote #4

Taken from The Unit: HW: You don't know the answer TG : No HW : If you knew the answer, what would it be? Write it down. Comments: I think fear of facing the truth numbs us so hard, that we dare not even try to find answers to our problems. I feel this is a good method to face that fear. It also portrays the healing properties of writing. Writing helps our thoughts fl...

Wrong When It's Right

Some times,  I feel as if we have too much fight for out "rights". The rights to say anything we want, the rights to publish anything we want, the right to do whatever we want. So much so that it can actually infringe other people's rights. And yet, we'll still be arguing about OUR GODDAMN RIGHTS. Here's a post dedicated to all road users. It's not your right... To arrive at the the office in time. It's everyone else's too. It's not your...

Big Bad Sale!

Rejoice all bookworms out there! There's a super huge book sale happening from now till the 16th of October 2011. I went there today and boy, it really is a feast! Too bad I was too engrossed in looking through title after title that I forgot to take any pictures of the place... :( So, you'll have to settle for this mountain of books I bought: Don't get me wrong, I don't usually splurge. But this is really one of a kind sale. Most fiction...

Consumers' Rights

Contract Law In MALAYSIA Legal Issue on Contract Law in Malaysia - Good for us to know This is something I like to share with you from one of my seminar recently. If you find this informative, pls circulate. It was conducted by A/P Catherine Tay on Legal issues in E-commerce. Notice that most of the time, the receipt / invoice you received from the merchant carries this exclusion clause or similarly worded statement: 'Goods sold are not returnable ' or ' No refund once sold ' . The thing that I have learnt from her is that : 'As long as your good...

The Road Not Taken

Sometimes, in life, we find ourselves facing difficult decisions, or rather decisions with dire consequences. Be it hopping on board a business opportunity or exploring human relationships further, it's all about coming out of our comfort zones and doing something different. The question is always this: Is it worth it? Think too long, and the moment will pass you by. Biased judgement on the other hand can be fatal. Fight or flight. Make or break. Pros and cons. Yin and Yang. Cloudy is my mind right now. Give me time to sort myself out. ...

Quote #1

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”- -The...

The 'I Like You' Poem

if you gave me half a moon of a chance i would kiss the incisors out of your mouth, clean and hold them in my own, like chippings from an old mug then pray my tongue into a bowl of holy water and ask god to never leave you thirsty.

Adrenaline Junkies

We're all adrenaline junkies. Before you start shaking your head, hear me out. We're all adrenaline junkies, but we seek it in different ways. Some do extreme sports like cliff jumping, white water rafting, roller coaster rides, etc. etc. There are also some who get their dose from chasing the opposite sex - from just seeing to talking to making out to entering the bedroom. Some do it in the form of drugs - getting high is a form of adrenaline rush. And some, like me, procrastinate just to feel the adrenaline of last minute work. Whatever it...

Patience

First post and I'm ranting. Not a good sign, but today's journey really tested my patience to the limit. I don't mean to flatter myself, but I think I did quite well. Here's the story: Hurdle #1: RapidKL buses. I really didn't expect any obstacles to be honest, but when the public buses came, Metro included, I realised how very wrong I was. Every bus was full, packed as if it was 7am. After passing on several buses, I managed to enter a bus. That reminds me, I felt cheated cause the fair's RM1.90, but there's almost always no change, so RM2...
