Advice for live
2007-07-01 23:51:43
Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen) by Buz Luhrmann Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99… Wear Sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blin


Death; Indestructible; Tomorrow
2007-07-01 22:30:07
I have this morbid fascination with death. Most people are scare of death and will try at all cost to avoid even mentioning it. However, it is a very real part of life. No matter how you want to avoid it, it will find you eventually. Therefore, why don’t we accept our mortality and embrace death. Death can be so liberating. Wouldn’t it be good if we died everyday. At the end of each day, we perform our last rite and let the self died. meaning that whatever we did for the day has ended. Don’t take the burden forward to another day. Let all our action, desirable or otherwise just died. And we will be born anew the next day. Start everyday like the first day of your life and live everyday like the last day on this earthly world. Then we will feel truly indestructible. Like the Tim McGraw’s song: Live Like You Were Dying that I posted previously. YES! Even terminal illness is a blessing, “And he said some day I hope you get the chance To live like you were dyi


7 days to change your perception of you and your live
2007-07-07 20:55:22
The Seven Day Mental Diet How to change your life (and the world) in a week by Emmet Fox The subject of diet is one of the foremost topics of the present day in public interest. Newspapers and magazines teem with articles on the subject. The counters of the bookshops are filled with volumes unfolding the mysteries of proteins, starches, vitamins, and so forth. just now the whole world is food-conscious. Experts on the subject are saying that physically you become the thing that you eat that your whole body is really composed of the food that you have eaten in the past. What you eat today, they say, will be in your bloodstream after the lapse of so many hours, and it is your blood-stream that builds all the tissues composing your body -and there you are. Of course, no sensible person has any quarrel with all this. It is perfectly true, as far as it goes, and the only surprisi


The Man Who Strives
2007-07-06 20:05:47
It is not the critic that counts; Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the decor of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; The credit belongs to the man who does actually strive to do the deeds.


Dreams peddler; Dreams crusher.
2007-07-06 11:48:39
There are people, institution and organization out there exist for the sole purpose of peddling dreams. And I’m not just talking about those Multi Level Marketing (MLM) outfits with their various guises. These peddlers sell dreams because of ulterior motives without any consideration on the foundation on which these Dreams were built on. At best, there are just a very well dressed up fantasies. The masses will soon realize that these Dreams will soon crumble around them, if they are lucky. If not, they will be going down with them. I can’t discount of those who live and died by their Dreams of promoting a better world and fighting for their rights. One man come to mind is Martin Luther King, Jr who is most famous for the I have a Dream Speech. Somehow, there is a breed of people who is just as adept in peddling Dreams as the best MLM seller. Though, they don’t do it for monetary gain. One of the reasons could be to gain control to others mind and thus winning at the mind game. It

Better man by Robbie Williams Send someone to love me I need to rest in arms Keep me safe from harm In pouring rain Give me endless summer Lord I fear the cold Feel I’m getting old Before my time As my soul heals the shame I will crawl through this pain Lord I’m doing all I can To be a better man Go easy on my conscience Cause it’s not my fault I know I’ve been taught To take the blame Rest assured my angels Who catch my tears Walk me out of here I’m in pain As my soul heals the shame I will crawl through this pain Lord I’m doing all I can To be a better man Once you’ve found that lover You’re homeward bound Love is all around Love is all around I know some have fallen On stony ground But love is all around Send someone to love me I need to rest in arms Keep me safe from harm In pouring rain Give me endless summer Lord I fear the cold Feel I’m getting old Before my time As my soul heals the shame I will crawl through this pain Lord


Love love love
2007-07-06 11:39:37
Love in the deepest and purest sense has to be come from within. No strings attached and not derived from any form at all. In a nutshell, being with a particular or specific person is no longer an issue. All the people in this world are the same in the sense that they are different. What a paradox. When we’re at peace with ourselves and we’re no longer identify with the form. We can love, live and grow old with anyone at all. By all means, accuse me for being cynical of love if you want to. Just close your eyes and look beyond the fact that you might be addicted instead of loving your partner. Addiction in any form is not healthy and depression will certainly kick in once the euphoric high is over. Long lasting relationship is a fulfilling experience; every single couple can make their love last as long as their live time and maybe beyond. At least one part of the partnership has to be totally present and then the flux of positivity can penetrate the most fouled situation and induc

Ideas
2007-07-11 01:21:33
Excerpt from  It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be   by Paul Arden Do Not Covet Your Ideas. Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you.You will remember from school other students preventing you from seeing their answers by placing their arm around their exercise book or exam paper. It is the same at work, people are secretive with ideas. ‘Don’t tell them that, they’ll take the credit for it.’ The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. Somehow the more you give away the more comes back to you. Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership. They’re not your ideas anyway, they’re someone else’s. They are out there floating on the ether. You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.


Mental diet
2007-07-10 20:26:15
Its been 3 long days since I last posted on this blog. I have started a mental diet, starving myself from negative thoughts. The diet was started on 07 July 2007 on a Saturday. However, it  got tougher instead of easier and I gave up after 2 days. The negative thoughts have a knack of sneaking up on you when you least expected it. The moment you let down your guard, they will just creep in from no way and intoxicate your mind. Then I will lapse into nostalgia and drown in the future. A sign that I was not totally present. Not surprisingly, most of these negative voices and images were pertaining to my ex and prospective future partner. The thoughts couldn’t be considered as positive I still dwell on the past and fantasize about the future. Most importantly, if the thoughts affect my functionality and productivity, then it is deem not fit to dwell in my mind.

Have you really loved a woman by Bryan Adams To really love a woman, To understand her, You’ve got to know her deep inside … Hear every thought, See every dream, And give her wings when she wants to fly. Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms … You know you really love a woman When you love a woman, You tell her that she’s really wanted. When you love a woman, You tell her that she’s the one. ‘Cause she needs somebody, to tell her that it’s gonnalastforever. So tell me have you ever really … really, really ever lovedawoman? To really love a woman, Let her hold you, Till you know how she needs to be touched. You’ve got to breathe her, really taste her, ‘Til you can feel her in your blood. And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes … You know you really love a woman. When you love a woman, You tell her that she’s really wanted. When you love a woman, You tell her that she’s the o


Everything passes by
2007-07-14 03:24:55
Everything in live is temporary. Darkness of the night; or a bright day. Even sunrise is temporary; so is sunset. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won’t last forever. And if things are going bad, don’t worry. Because it won’t last forever either. Everything passes by.


Truth to be told
2007-07-19 22:58:52
We tell lies when we are afraid. Afraid of what we don’t know, Afraid of what others will think, Afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie… the thing we fear grows stronger. Be truthful. With others. With self.

Capturing, harvesting; be totally present
2007-07-19 22:33:23
Blogspotting July 17, 2007 Critics: Just point to Google Stephen Baker Tyler Cowen wonders what critics are good for. He says he looks for only one thing when reading a book review: Whether he should Google it. He calls it a binary decision. The next binary decision is whether he should Amazon it. If you look at life as a series of decisions about what to acquire, maybe these binary processes make sense. But imagine someone is talking to you about a fascinating book. Are you thinking: I wish this person would shut up and go away so I can get busy Googling and Amazoning the book? It might make more sense to focus on what the person’s talking about, to process a thought or two–and maybe later move into the acquisition mode. In a way, this thinking Cowen describes is like when we walk through the forest or along the shore and think non-stop about taking pictures. Instead of concentrating on the present experience, we obsess about what we can harvest from it. I’m guilty

For the longest time
2007-07-19 21:05:38
Its been a long time   It has been 5 days since I last posted anything on this blog. Wow, that’s a long time indeed. Well, 5 days? What have I done in these days? A little bit of everything. On Monday, I have gotten so frustrated with the one and only landline provider that I have taken the matter into my own hands. Over here in this self proclaimed developing nation with developed infrastructure, the telco service for landline or fixed line or whatever it is called, is still quite a monopolistic industries. Though there aren’t that many entry barriers to be breached by the competitors, the cost of the infrastructure has made competition irrelevant. Therefore, there is one and only telco we go to for our landline service. I have a business venture with a few partners that didn’t exactly work out as what we intended to be. So, cost cutting exercise kick in and one of the first conveniences to go was the landline and broadband connection at the hostel or the apartment rented f


Convergence
2007-07-27 21:18:00
Where shall I start? Lately, I’ve been very much into self help and spiritual books. Here are some Mash ups of a few concepts or practice that I managed to gather and making sense of in my own quirkiness way. I can now narrow them down to 4 concepts, practices or habits. Mentality of abundance, bootstrapping, proactive and the power of now. First stop, if you find yourself in a shit situation or any undesirable situation, you must acknowledge the NOW. You must accept that it is only your life situation and don’t identify it as you. When you finally managed to take stock of the situation, you can then plot your way out of it. It is much more constructive than blaming other of putting yourself in such situation or being angry with your own self for landing into the hot soup. The habit I must emphasize during such dire situation is proactive as advocate by Stephen R. Covey in his book titled “The 7 habits of highly effective people“. Yes, you heard me right, don&r

Bootstraps

Going With The Flow Question: Some people say that the way to succeed in life is to bust your hump until you get what you want. Other people say you should just go with the flow. It seems like one humongous contradiction. What’s a Yuppie to do? Sincerely, Humpless Answer: It’s not a contradiction, it’s a paradox Remember Kung Fu, the TV series? A soft-spoken character named Caine wanders the Old West, with no particular purpose, and no particular destination. He’s just going with the flow. About forty-five minutes into every show, the flow forces him to fight. He breaks a few heads, dispenses some sage advice, and wanders off to the next episode. It’s corny, but it can teach you a lot about what it means to go with the flow. Caine wasn’t some alienated college kid who decided to drop out of the rat race, carve himself a flute, and spend the rest of his life living off the land. He was a Shaolin Priest. He spent his youth training his body, mind, and


Bootstrapping
2007-07-30 23:42:34
The Art of Bootstrapping by Guy Kawasaki Someone once told me that the probability of an entrepreneur getting venture capital is the same as getting struck by lightning while standing at the bottom of a swimming pool on a sunny day. This may be too optimistic. Let’s say that you can’t raise money for whatever reason: You’re not a “proven” team with “proven” technology in a “proven” market. Or, your company may simply not be a “VC deal”–that is, something that will go public or be acquired for a zillion dollars. Finally, your organization may be a not-for-product with a cause like the ministry or the environment. Does this mean you should give up? Not at all. I could build a case that too much money is worse than too little for most organizations—not that I wouldn’t like to run a Super Bowl commercial someday. Until that day comes, the key to success is bootstrapping. The term comes from the German legend of Baron Münchhausen pulling him

Friends will be Friends by Queens Another red letter day, So the pound has dropped and the children are creating, The other half ran away, Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber, Got a pain in the chest, Doctors on strike what you need is a rest It’s not easy love, but you’ve got friends you can trust, Friends will be friends, When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you’re through with life and all hope is lost, Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end Now it’s a beautiful day, The postman delivered a letter from your lover, Only a phone call away, You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number, As a matter of fact, You’re getting used to life without him in your way It’s so easy now, cos you got friends you can trust, Friends will be friends, When you’re in need of love they give you care and attention, Friends will be friends, When you&


Deciphering the Negarakuku code

This guy from the southern Malaysian town of Muar has posted a controversial music video on youtube. Love him or hate him, he has been transform to some sort of superstar and is on almost every Malaysian lips ever since. The video he posted is a self made MTV and the tune is taken from our beloved national anthem, Negaraku. Below, you can find the translated lyrics from that song which is originally in Mandarin. Anyhow, the paradox and double meaning or hidden message can only be understand by Malaysian in particular and people in this part of the world in general.

Get a Life and Look at the View Villanova Commencement Address by Anna Quindlen (Pulitzer Prize Winner)It’s a great honor for me to be the third member of my family to receive an honorary doctorate from this great university. It’s an honor to follow my great-Uncle Jim, who was a gifted physician, and my Uncle Jack, who is a remarkable businessman. Both of them could have told you something important about their professions, about medicine or commerce. I have no specialized field of interest or expertise, which puts me at a disadvantage, talking to you today. I’m a novelist. My work is human nature. Real life is all I know. Don’t ever confuse the two, your life and your work. The second is only part of the first. Don’t ever forget the words my father sent me on a postcard last year: “If you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.” Or what John Lennon wrote before he was gunned down in the driveway of the Dakota: “Life is what happe

I wish that somebody can translate this article for the benefit of those who don’t understand a word in Malay. Pelajar cerca negara, polis Oleh Ahmad Fitri Che Musa KUALA LUMPUR: Biadab! Itulah perkataan tepat untuk menggambarkan tindakan tidak bertanggungjawab seorang pelajar dari Muar, Johor, yang dikenali sebagai ‘Namewee’ kerana menghina lagu Negaraku, tidak menghormati kerajaan dan menyentuh sensitiviti masyarakat Islam di negara ini. ‘Namewee’ yang berusia 24 tahun, dipercayai masih mengikuti pengajian dalam jurusan Komunikasi Massa di Universiti Ming Chuan, Taiwan. Gaya dia menyanyikan lagu kebangsaan dan diberi nama ‘Negarakuku’ itu dapat dilihat dalam klip video selama lima minit 32 saat di laman web, YouTube dan sudah dilayari lebih 400,000 pengunjung sejak disiarkan pertengahan bulan lalu. Dengan menyelit nyanyian rap dalam bahasa Mandarin, dia menyindir kerajaan dengan beberapa perkataan yang digunakan agak kasar dan lucah. Perbuatan pelajar itu mem

A Flat World
2007-08-09 08:23:47
We should forget about the 50 years old constitution or the legacy left behind by the British colonial power. We would do much better to stand back and take stock of the reality and devise a strategy to better integrate into this hyper competitive world. Nothing stays the same in this world, even more so in this so called Flat World . Development is progressing at a break neck speed. For those who can’t keep up, they will be flattened. It is not a matter of choice but necessity. The following is an excerpt from The World Is Flat written by Thomas Friedman. The author observation is first class and very eyes opening. Everyone should read it if they not already did. More so is all the stake holders who chart our nation direction and destination. ——– …………….there was a discordant note in this exciting new era. It wasn’t only Americans and Europeans who joined the people of the Soviet Empire in celebrating the fall of the wall-and claming credit for it.

Moderation; Harmony and Blame it on the internet
2007-08-08 07:43:10
The jury is still out on whether, Namewee is a glory seeker, reckless rebel or simply a boy having some fun stating the obvious or all of the above. Though you and me might not agree with what he wrote for the lyrics of Negarakuku, the same sentiments have been expressed over and over again, almost every second among the Chinese community. The difference is, they are too timid to say it openly. If there is someone or something you need to blame the Negarakuku phenomenon on, it is the INTERNET and YOUTUBE. Only with the proliferation of broadband connection that this controversy can spread wide and fast. Without Namewee, there is still a large percentage of Chinese who share the same feeling but didn’t go to the extend of spreading it. Most of the Chinese here, mistakenly identified the nation with the government. Government come and go but we only have one nation. We don’t have to love the government but as with the opening sentence of Negarakuku, I love my country, we have
