Power of our mind

If we are to set to do something concretely proven right, we can.

Everything needs to be done by ourselves, our mind have to set it right into the direction
to have a goal.

After reading this book, THE POWER OF A PRAYING WOMAN by Stormie Omartian
it delivers lots of insight for my well being and improvement towards doing my work and anything
that come into my thoughts to finish a project.

Raindrops

In the midst of this night,
"tit-tat" ... "tit-pat-tat"
 coming down like dew fall
hitting the balconies, roofs, gutters and awnings.

I love you most as this is the time
the weather is going to change from hot
to cool again.

I love you most as only God can give you
the power to shower people in your utmost
ways to make living things a marvel to this mother earth.

I thank you again for making me alert to rethink
who the bastards are in this world!

Raindrop

Even  I used my anonmymous writer's name as "raindrop" was much bluffed off by some one writing in his nature wonders or travel blog.  I was damn angry of real life of that guy now.  A person without any integrity at all though of his high priestly post!

But mind it, he is still non stop following my butts to any where, no matter my email accounts or my blogs, he tried to hack into mind.  Not only that so many of my photographs were stolen and then photoshopped and put into his blogs and became his!  What a shameless, lame should you put "him".

The green eyed monster  is  following you.non stop.
Just be ware of his nasty creepy wits!
.
I am called the "raindrop" so what is that to do with you., rainfield.
You can see me or not, is nothing that is of importance to me.
Not more to say, I even not wish to see you again!
See the day, you will be flooded again in this monsoon season.

Downright regretted in this life ever passed such a person!

It was another "kiasu" attitude

It was one of the Sundays that we  used to attend the early mass. It was yesterday again.
Of course with a different church.  Oh, yes, sure the same denomination.
Now, by then, one family just with four persons  but occupied more than their expected seats where as
many benches were full too, so we all squeezed next to theirs where was still ample space.

As we all started to sing the hymns, the lady next just struggled to show she could sing!  She hardly could, but well off to show off her head high.  I am never said I like to laugh off or looked down but by the scorning behaviour of a person going to the church with that type of facial look, I have some say here.

At times, I was wondering, does it means, to go to a holy place, the priest always says we disregard our race, creed or colours.  But I can never feel it.  The person sitting next could be so scorny!!!

Until to the end of the mass, I am so sorry to say, I didnt hear any words from her mouth.. Does it mean she still wants to show off her ego???.....~


In chinese proverbs, one same type of white rice feeds different thousand types of people!  I must remember it ... no one is same as we towards them.

In the dictionary

Who invented "Dictionary"?

I am writing this as I never bothered to google it, search it but somehow, I wanna like to query
then, why God wants to make "bastards"?

Then you go ahead to search, what "bastards" means?


Now, next since God's time or rather civilisation starts, all people know what is UNIVERSAL rules, but
how many are truely following to it?

If you are not, then you better question yourself of why?  Look into the mirror before you start to judge another!

Now, next why God wants to make "thieves" or "bastards"?

Can you tell me so?

Afraid to lost to another!

It was yesterday afternoon, I went to the Books Show or rather a Book Sales in Crown Centre, Pending, Kuching.  I realised many parents are afraid of being lost to another.

Some trying to speak English in most of the times though they are chinese.  I dont mean they cant do so, but can see they all felt like "I wont lost to you either!"

Hahaha... I just bought 2 books.  One English hand book and another medical book on Gnaeocology.

This book sale is selling some 100K old books from USA.  Every year, they held once, but  this is my 2nd time to the function.

Directions

Everything in life needs a direction.
To drive to another place without a direction will make one get lost!
Each new day, one has to be very alert in mind to start a new day.

Every child does the same with his studies.
If one is without direction, it ends up to no where.

Driving

Every early morning, I have to drive a long journey to reach certain destinations.  I have to go through more than fourteen to fifteen  (14-15) traffic junctions.  At times, I just feel it is a waste of my time to wait.  Sometimes, it will come to one minute and sometimes lesser.

But one day, two cars were challenging along the super highway as I wish to call it.  From the flyover, both cars tried to zoom off in both sides of me.  Am I not fast enough? In fact, I was driving about 90km/hr already.  But may be life seemed too long for them, they both drove faster than I.  So zoomed off, and cornered me in the middle.  It gave me the shivers down my spine!

Then at another traffic junction, I bothered to take a second look on the driver on my left as he was not faster than any.  Still had to hang on, on my left and he was indeed a young "ah diyang" meaning very young guy  in my dialect!

At that moment, I started to think,  no wonder, insurance company gave higher PA premium for those drivers who are younger than 30!

One day at a  stop over junction intending to turn right.  One  motorcyclist to my effect, she was turning right, but no way, suddenly she did an U-turn.  If a driver is driving hastily, I doubt that motorcylist would land under the car at any time!

Now, the code of Traffic.  How many are still observing strictly?  Give ways to cars from the right, etc.  I think those days, so long one can hold on the wheel or handle the m/cycle's handle, one is to drive or ride already!  It really didnt matter what danger is behind that!


Sincerity vs curiosity vs truth

In a life journey, I have experienced too many friends or so called workers, co-partners or colleagues and etc.

Some are real true people in the beginning of life, but they can be the most poisonous people around you in the end, because they know you well, they start to talk bad and write bad about you.

Some are just real acquaintances and they can end up as real friends.  But how many are living in this such a life in your life time?  For me, I yet to get a single one!

Does it mean, it lies in me, the ? or them?  I read one blog, it even used nature to boils another heat up to use a FERN that looks like a QUESTION MARKS and tried every means to stab another!  What a blasphemy?

Let you work your life, I go through mine.  It is far with them, far better, isn't it?

My story on Kedondong ..

While young, food was rather scarce.  So when the elders ever gave us some of those soury fruits, we also felt so nice.  Ate those fruits until the teeth felt uneasy!  Have you ever experienced that?  :)

The kedondong that I had was from a good friend's sister (my friend is Angela.) Her sister had this kedondong in her backyard and full bloom.  I was envied by the sight and she gave me a good bundle.
I tried to plant most of the seeds after eating the flesh.  That was many years ago.  From there, it propagated to the present.  From some 400 km away, I sent many fruits to one of my siblings here  and from there, I got the present plant from the fruits.  (Sadly to say, Angela ever told me her sister's kedondong had died, so was mine one in my old home some 400km away both  due to white ants' infestion.)   However, the seeds still carry on to live...........

We like to eat those fruits by

1) blending the fruits without the seeds and add bits of plum powder or honey to make kedondong juice
2) eat the fruit with prawn paste (belacan)  fried with archovies (ikan bilis) as the belacan is salty, the fruit is a bit sour, so it will balance off the taste..

3) sometimes, we eat the fruit with bits of sugar or plum powder

What behold for you today?

As pages or thousand of lines won't finish to describe the above. Some can be writing without ending, but for here, I would like to share when at times, life has been on an uneasy pace, I would like to seek PEACE. Inner peace of whatever I want to do, not you to decide! :)

Sometimes in life, there are a few as if nothing to do or go on their lifes but instead love to stack our beautiful life styles. Do you encounter such? They can be in the form of hacking through the phone lines, internet lines and whatsoever ways when a devil is lurking around. GPRS etc... by their so called beautiful iphone! Well, in this sense can we say Steve Job is a wonderful man? Yes, he was still and thanks for the trackers and hackers who ever are. You give lots of challenges for all of us. Thanks so much... Life is wonderful without those, isn't it? :)

At this Greenwich mean time 1105 hours, I take 1 cup of coffee and later I took a glass of :"misai kuching" that is good for you to reflect over of what life behold for you today!

Hope it balance off my sugar level today with SWEET vs BiTTer!

What about you? Why not take a break off to know more about "misai kuching" before your egoism kills you?


(Do come back for more photos!)

Life destiny in your own hands

It was the title of the course. It was well said each time we heard of something of this or similiar of that. But no matter how human have planned, it may come out something of what God has proposes. Different people have different life, different family has different ways of life!
One particular statement, the course leader mentioned was when he saw the people in his ex company was envying him of doing his job far faster than others, the colleagues started to complain him. He said to be a good and better employee was also forbidden by others! That was the time, he started to think twice to leave the company for another job.

There are many times, I also feel the same, some people around you started to compliment you, but in a way is in fact envying you, so better be aware of it. At the same time, those who out of nowhere, started to give you directions of what to do next and next, this one can, that one cannot, then, it sounded dangerous at least! We are all children of God, we are armed with a brain, if not better at least also on par to somewhere, so why can't we have an opinion of our own freely and doing things freely?

Now who is behold of your own destiny?............

Belated St. Valentine message

Whenever recalling the first St. Valentine that came across my mind was in one of the verse in "FAR from the Madding Crowd" that once crossed my path in my study. That should be thirty seven years to be exact! It was then came as a "puppy love" at that time!

Well, many had celebrated well in the dinning halls, dancing, drinking or cooling off. But it should be not me there joining as I think St. Valentine is not celebrated in once a year and to show off the true love that one has. May be, I am more of a realistic type of person and the culture, the stream of study that I brought up! I always have a tendency to feel that those who studied SCIENCE streams were not as flowery as those in the ARTS streams who used to be dreamy of their world around them! (But whatsoeover, it is if you dont agree to my writing, well, it is still what I want to write out of my true heart!)

My St. Valentine went to the memory of my belated parents, who had toiled so hard for me and my siblings. My memory went to all those near to me who had passed on and of course not forgetting all those who were once near to me, but far in a sense, they dont live near in my neighbourhood where internet is the only means that they can read my words here.

Thanks for all your wonderful time and support during which we may not be as often as the past or in the future to come. In this belated St. Valentine, pray the good Lord give us all more grace, love, happiness, good health and success.

Roses are red,
Violet are purple in whatsoever way, esp. when we were in our teen years but definitely not at this time of life journey where LIFE IS NOT ALL BEDS OF ROSES..

Independent vs dependent

Life can be such that if a child is dependent on his/her parents from o-age 21 (asian standard) or be it of whatever level you can put as a parent. And then, a parent can be dependent on his/her child when the parent reaches a ripe age of about 65 onwards. Some children are kind enough to understand a parent(s) but not all. Have you realised? Were you the one who is very unkind at times? Were you the one neglecting your parent(s) when they are in need of you?
To many, they are very remorse once their parents passed on but during their life time, they couldnt see or they cannot see at all. Have you ever analyse how many years a parent looks after a child compared to a child who is going to look after the parent in their sunset years?
Sames goes to a pupil who is dependent on a teacher when one is relatively young.

What about a friend/colleague who used to depend on you then? Sometimes, it is the circumstances that made one depends on another to "feed" and sometimes, it is the person who likened another to depend on him/her but this dependency is just limited as one can source out to have other ulterior motive. Or else, they wont let such dependency goes on.

In society, life goes on as usual daily, at times, we are so weak or fragile, we are boneless and we start to lean on another to grow up. Dont you ever realised? But once that spirit is growing well, many obstacles are unseen. Sometimes, many people do not even bother to realise it because all these are unseen and cannot be measured. These are mostly the top managerial level of people who are very good in motivating but they forgo their emotional level that they can't see while another can clearly see through. If the words are too forceful, they end up de-motivating in whilst, they will waste their energies.

In whatsoeover way, life has to go on with one's inner spirit to be solidly strong, good faith in whatever endeavours in which one is embarking. One need not necessary to be inclinating on another.

(to be a lone man need not means you are left out of society, perhaps can even work better than many!) :)

Knowledge is Power

Who is gaining the most knowledge? There is no definite answer, either you or me! In most times, when we reflected over, those who used to mutter that to gain knowledge more is to learn further. In sub-conscious mind, it is the person who is lacking in certain knowledge, thus being envied in such environment, one will show or express to show, he/she is more knowledgeable!

This can happen in any field of knowledge. Can one master all forms of knowledge and said "ahah, my dear world... I am on top of the world full of knowledge.." in which any dictionary or wikipedia can't give out any special term for such a person yet! But then, why sometimes, some people are so afraid of being left out in certain field and yet only envying others! Really, to me, even a person can "bla.." a thousand times but it is just a dancing puppet in front of me as I am never afraid anyone is competing or being more knowledgeable!

We can be a dumb-bass but it is God who created us in such, we are the shepherd to him not to anyone definitely!

It is interesting on such topic, if we go on to a debate team. But here I just wish to write out something out of my heart, nobody is in hold of our own lives even though we can work a thousand times good, one failure, it is still not good in their eyes, because we are just human beings that will err....... like you and me, isn't it?

I think today, it is still the Pen is still mightier than a sword. As I get through this journey of life, I shall not assasinate a soul with my sharp tongue and if I ever shoot into your heart today, well, ...my apology..

Life is a journey with many junctions, u-turns and so forth. Where is your path of life journey, you definitely know well most than another. It is when a time, a person does not realise one's own mistakes and admit to it, then that is a time, one have to take a good break of one self.

Thus, if I see you transparently, it is you who can hide your weaknesses well and not me being transparent!

Life journey vs environment

When a child is born into an environment with good learning power, support by different sectors to the discovery of something. It is totally different with a child who is left in the undeveloped area and without any special learning IT or gadgets. Let's see the recent report on the FB discovery by Mark. If he happens to be in another country, dont think he will be what he is today!

Now, does it mean FATE of life is a factor to our life's journey? Very interested to hear your side of story then.

Past, present & future

We all know that past is something written in history. Of yesterday, yester-years...... But it would give us the memories the one have gone through. Something of bitter, sweet and whatsoever.

Present is what we have. To move on.... of whatever past had been. Can we just brood on and without moving? Life is not such, but it can be hard to move on if one is an extremely emotional type of person. To cover all the bitter-sweet, one have to be very determined, strong willed to get it successfully done. No matter what, life is such, still have to go one without a second look back!
Many may have experienced true life journey but not many have gone through either! For those aged 0-12, 13-18, 19-25, 26-30, 30-35, 36-40 etc.... they all totally hold different idealogies and mindset at different stage of life.

(Instantly, you close your eyes, take a deep breath, now, reflect over, what you were in the above catagories of age? What were you then? What made you liked most at that immediate stages of age? )

Now, please never live with regrets. Life is such. Once, I shared with a priest, life is hard. He told me "in the street, where can you find no body having problems?" That sentence stroke my mind for over years, I kept visualing it, it is getting more true as I moved on with life. Might be, at that time of my age, I never thought life was that hard then, but it gave me so. At that time, I left my most golden mine career that all walks of people used to comment on it. That was the banking life! But not now, now who worked in the bank will have to triply think over, if tomorrow is still their cup of coffee as the management can sack them at any time if their business target is not met!

In amidst of all, we all have feelings... thus our emotional life might or may upset us once in a while. Either by those we have loved so dearly... or those who purposely have hurt us or in other ways and it could either turn out to be hatred or otherwise. Most times, we have think to do something out of unconditional love, but others may think otherwise thus, it will create a tension in between and without clarification, the things happening will look different. In short, does it mean, doing something good has reward in heaven? Only God knows..

Now, let's see the future. Who can see the future? If one can see the future, everyone is a "prophet"!!! O sera-de sera... Myself... getting or rather losing confidence.. as I get older. Thus future is bleak!.. It made someone tears in one stage of life! That incident is the most unforgettable memory to be erased. You can come silently but you wont leave without a heavy heart! For one, I can only live with HOPE....

What about you? Readers, why not share with me over a penny ? :)

Recollections

How many of us have sit down to recollect ourselves? Many a while, each will start to point the mistakes of another while not reflecting on oneself! Don't you agree? In this festive season, one should be humbled in the name of God the almighty, what you have done over the years and come to recollect of what one is going to embark in the coming days.

It may sound holistic but it is only too true that if one is not recounting of oneself, the judgement is there to come! At times, how many of us are grateful or appreciating of another's job?
Gratitude? Have you been grateful of what you have been when you were much younger, how you are being grown up!

In another sense or tone, sometimes, some people are just not forgiving enough that they will repeat the history and yet they know that is grumbling already but yet they live in such. Of course, as a listener, one will pull an ear to hear but one will never adheed to such "grumbles"?

In the short concluding statement, one would say, when we get older, we try to speak the less the better, the better world to live in and at the same time, some people like to be authorative and it shows how accentric one is then.

Well... each of us, live our lives in a far better way than just grumbling and it will never make things happen!

Community

Of late, likened to study different communities, cultures and living. When I visited the mountains, I see so many natives living in the mountains in decades if not in century already. They didnt open up or rather developed in their neighbourhood, but they are happy as they are. What made them as what they are? (You may say, hey! man, they are so contented!) But they can live a day without fail. They are not starving, they own proper homes, cars, clothings to live on day by day.

Comparatively, those living in the urbans, I can see how greed, materialism changed another to a uncontented person. Many are rushing out in the early morn, be it their day of work, real life or dark life as I love to put it. Some are so greedy that they do robberies, thieving works etc. In which, at this hour (4am) or even earlier, (should I say, damn it in this NY time) they are already working round the clock to hack people's homes in the wake of the hours where everyone should be in the slumberland. Including me, but the barking of neighbour's dog made me realised, I better do something here to make those lurkers at bay! This is the second consecutive nights.

At times, I would wonder, why those people cannot work hard decently in the day, be a dish washer, a street sweeper, a cleaner of anything, selling anything out of the garden (if they ever tilted.. but do they?) In my neighbourhood of about 50 - 60 houses, not a single house, I can see as many fruit trees/plants/flowers like my own garden! I really cannot believe it myself.

But over the CNY celebrations, you can heard much "bomps..." and fire crackers banging, well, deep into it, do they have decent life styles, that I have no comment! Indeed, to me, playing firecrackers is not only illegal, it pollutes the air, waste money not an idea to me for decades! Moreover, if anyone is doing work like the firecrackers, it only changes to paper only!

Thus, in my tutoring time, relaxing over with my students, sharing about basics in life. To have it, every one must learn to plant some trees, flowers, vegetables at home to realise life is not just studying alone. (To do this, I taught them how to plant and we compete to see whose seeds will grow to bigger vegetables, or plants.)

In years to come, what community can do better ? Those who read bibles more often, it is undeniable. It is a book, nothing can be learnt else where. But to master the bible and put to life, is the key to any everlasting community.

Human beings vs human beings

In this new year 2012, studying more of this is not only interesting, it gave lots of insights. Here and there, we come to know someone is close to another, another one is not close to their next of kins, what more to say?

The blood group, the genes, the different family tree and ways of life/growing up, food one needs to take all accounted to any human being, how one is moulded into the society.

Once, my immediate superior told me, the hardest thing to handle in work is to handle "human beings". That question lies in my mind for long. Indeed, it is very difficult. One day, while I sent some new year tangerine oranges to a convent, I had a short conversation with a sister. She told me, it is never easy to work with the adults. I quickly agreed with her. Deep inside me, I thank God for whatever he gives me, I used to deal with young children. It is not that I can easily manipulate them but rather young children like young bamboo shoots, they can be taught, easily bentable, not until at a later age. But on the other hand, I dealt with many adults too. Some are older, some are much younger than my age. Of course, there is one or two always trying to expect another to be like them. Well.. then comes my thinking, can't I be what I am?

What more to say, a happy visitation can end up as an unhappy one, have you encountered? It is time for people to recollect what are we in this world? Who am I?

To sum up this, we should be happy of what we are, who I am and not who so and so is? Who so and so is better than I?

God gives everyone fairly in this world, it all depends on how one grasp the opportunity to live the journey. It is never how smart you are, how much you earn a year. It is rather how much you have SAVED. To live the past with no regrets, to live the future with HOPE, to live the present with help around those and lastly to have good FAITH in you.
