It starts with a dream..



Add faith,
and it becomes a belief
Add action,
and it becomes a part of life
Add preservarance, and it becomes a goal in sight,
Add petience and time,
and it ends
with a dream come true.

The rape of a man's dignity..

The 'rape' of a man's dignity.

I never knew that politics can be so dirty and how the politicians can behave like scums of the earth and going all the way to smear a person's dignity without limits.

I have said it before how many times you can hit below the belt. If you continue to do it ,it will stir up the anger of public and even the person you are attacking is wrong , the anger will  point back to you. In everything we do , we have to know where it has to end.

If we lost a fight , we should acknowledged defeat gracefully.  We should not turn ugly and start picking up the chair or the dog shit and throw everything we can grap at the winner.  However, this act reflect what is happening the Anwar case. The losers have resorted to bites and scratches to win when logic and common sense failed. This really an insult to judgement and our intelligence.

The more I read in the news , the more upset I  become especially the timing of the case , the nomination day, the Election Day ,etc. All the dates  are so coincidental. I think the politicians think that we are stupid while they play their political games. Actually, their intelligence are highly suspected and silly.

Those idiots thinks that they can do all the shadow play without people knowing their naughty acts but actually, they are letting out their tails openly.

So , enough is enough and stop all these dirty tricks and behave like a man. Nincompoops.

Namaste.

What happen today...

What happen today..

It is important to start the day right if not everything will turn up wrong. There so a belief that we should start the first step out of the house with the right leg. Similarly, we should also get out from the right side of the bed and in Yoga, we closed our practice by getting up from right side of our body. The right seems to have the positive happening.

Is this true? It is very hard to say . I slept on the left side of the bed and getting up from also the left side of the bed. I cannot be crawling over my wife by getting out from the right side. Does this mean that I will be pushed by the negative happenings everyday ?

Today was a day which things gets a bit messy. I was nagged by my wife because my car door was not properly shut. Somehow, I was quite uncomfortable because the car door was heavy and the steering was tight after a overhaul service and I could not shut it tight  and I did not see the warning message. It got messier as we go on.

Reaching office,my business manager came in for a meeting. He was all blown up telling me the upsetting message from my big boss claiming that he was slow in his response. Another bad news was that some competitor is trying to buy fabric from him and to supply to our long term customers.  What a stupid enquiry and he felt upset that that the buyer is so ignorant. How can we supply our competitor to  compete for the same customers. This is really an idiotic world if we do it.

My banker friend called me after a long time of absence and I was glad that she called. She has been trying to pregnant through a test tube process and she told me that she failed the second time and now is recovering from the process. She is very determine but things are so how fated. I wish her luck.

At the end of the  day, I SMS my wife a few times but the message failed to be delivered  and I called her a few times and her phone was blocked and I missed my yoga session. It was mend to be a bad day.

When approaching the bridge toll , a car tried to overtake me as my car approach the toll and the lane on the left was empty. He hooted at me and I show him the middle finger and in the process my bridge tag fell out from my hand. I was very upset. I tried to calm myself by taking deep breaths.

I have met an old friend with my business promotion manager and my friend told me that he recently had a heart attack. He has been suffering chest pain for a few times and he did not take it seriously and one morning , the same pain became unbearable and he decide to see a doctor and he was told that all arteries was 99.9 % blocked and the 0.01% save his life. He went through a Ballooning treatment and is now taking medications. According to my friend, the treatment is so advance now and no by-pass was needed. He was one of the lucky ones. Life is very fragile , so lets live it well.

The last bit of the messy day is upon arriving at my sister's house for dinner , my daughter have taken the food back home. It was so tiring with all these happenings , I fell asleep on the couch and wake up feeling very tired.

I have to let go of everything that had happen today and move on with a better tomorrow. The work will be waiting and  things will be happening and life will go on.

The sun will continued to rise on the east and sets on the west and the day will passed by no matter what happen. Everyday is a new day , a new beginning.

Namaste.

" Friend divorce " - extract


Dealing with a lost friendship can be tough when questions go unanswered. (Image: SXC)
When we make friends, we do not think about the possibility of losing them. But a time may come when the girl or guy friend that you were once inseparable from no longer returns your calls or makes time to hang out. “Friend divorce” is a reality, and it can be just as painful as losing any other relationships.

I came up with the term “friend divorce” several years ago when a good friend and I stopped talking to each other after being close for over five years. I was confused about what happened between us and took for granted that our friendship would simply bounce back. When I realised that it was not the case, I decided to ask my friend whether our friendship was over, and he explained why he no longer felt close to me. It was a difficult question to ask, and it was even harder to hear his response, but by posing the question, I laid everything out on the table and received an honest reply.

It can be hard to deal with losing a friendship when you don’t have answers to your questions. Unfortunately, the world we live in has made it a lot easier for people to slip out of our lives. It can be as simple as them no longer texting you back or making plans for a girls’ night out. Once you notice this, it is important to be straight up with yourself.

Step back and re-evaluate the friendship to examine how you may have played a part in causing the drift between you both. Sometimes a friend feels neglected because of a new job or relationship you have, and they may start to pull away. If it is something that can be repaired with an open talk, and if you believe the friendship is worth saving, then you should show some vulnerability and try to salvage it.

There are other times when the loss of a friendship is the result of people outgrowing one another or growing apart. That good friend who used to be game for all sorts of adventures may no longer be interested. Or the cousin that grew up with you may have gotten married, had a few kids and just doesn’t have the time to go out for late night coffee sessions. To me this is one of the hardest ways to lose a friend because you have absolutely no power over it; we all change and evolve, but in the process, we risk losing people that we have a lot of love for.

Of course some “friend divorces” are necessary. Maybe you were “frenemies” and the relationship was based on negativity and competition. Or perhaps your relationship didn’t uplift you spiritually and was maintained out of habit rather than genuine care. These kinds of friendships are toxic but too often we turn a blind eye to what they really are.

Most people enjoy being in the company of others, but simply collecting friends doesn’t mean that you are acquiring quality relationships. If and when these people walk out of your life, you should be thankful because their absence frees the space for better and more positive encounters.

The important thing to remember is that when you lose a friend, it doesn’t diminish the relationship you once shared. The memories you have of the time spent with them are important, and the growth you experienced through the friendship can be held on to forever. Just because someone is no longer a regular fixture in your life doesn’t mean you have to erase all the good they brought. Hold on to that, and in doing so, you will remember them fondly and be a better friend to others in future.
I believe that if you have a handful of solid people whom you can call real friends, then you are extremely blessed. As we get older, it becomes apparent that it does not matter how many contacts you have on your phone, or how many acquaintances show up at an event you organise. What counts are those friends who stick around afterwards to help you clean up, and who will be lovingly honest with you when the occasion calls for it.

As for the friend whom I thought had “divorced” me a couple years ago, we have started talking again and are now tighter friends than ever. It just goes to show that we have no control over the future, but by being open and honest, we can cultivate friendships that are worth going the extra mile for.

Heavy in my heart

Sometimes, it is very difficult to make changes which can affect the live of other people for the sake of efficieny or for succession planning.  I have been involved with a lot of out sourcing activities for my Company and my colleagues hate my guts but it is a job someone needs to handle and if it is not me, there will other people.

Where does the karma lies ? It good for the Company and bad for the affected person. This is what I called the 80:20 principle. For the sake and survival of the company ie the 80% of them, I have to get rid of the  targeted 20%.  It is for the sake of majority and is this good karma. If you just look at the impact, then there is a positive karma as I provided job security and  jobs for the 80%.

Just like the example of eating a fish and you have to check it out and choose the live fish and then the chef will cooked it for a group of 10 people.  Where does the bad karma lies ? On the person who choose it , cooked it or eat it. Who is the unlucky guy ? It is again verydifficult to pin point.

If we see something needs to be done and we do it for the sake of making it better , then we should not be worry about who is to bear the bad karma. There is a saying " the bad gets stronger if the good choose to do nothing ". We have to look into this positive light.

In executing such move, our knees can get numb and weak or our confidence fell low as we do not know what is the outcome. What other things that it tipper or what consequences it will bring ? Yesterday at yoga, I was balancing on my arms and did a shoulder stand, there was alot of butterflies in my stomach, I was so scare to tip over and hurt my back and I have seen alot of such incidences. There was uncertainties in my balance and there was this yogi sitting by my side watching me do the pose and she try to attempt to emulate my stance but she could do it . She was also like me afraid of falling and I told her to close her eyes and just to it.  However, closing our eyes also caused us a lot of uncertainties as additional fear will sets in.  Doing a balancing stand while closing our eyes , there is a double uncertainties.

The fear in us build up the uncertainties or make us scare.  We have to do it , just do it and worry of the outcome later . If we don't do make this decision, we will never change the situation or stop the rot.

Namaste.

Heat wave in Penang

Heat wave in Penang

The heat is back and it is so hot that it is possible to out to the open in the afternoon. Most of the time , it is at 33 deg C on the average. What is happening to the weather.?

The heat wave makes our body temperature and push u our blood pleasure. It makes people lost their cold and cause accidents and open quarrel and fighting.People lost their senses.

We have to watch out and have concern on the way we used water. The water level at the dams has fallen sharply and if the heat wave persist we may have water shortage like In Selangor. It look stupid when the richest state in Malaysia have a water crisis. Thanks to the idiotic Federal Government. This is gutter politics.

Personally, I am thankful to the DAP CM , I think he has done a lot for the state and I think we will be safe In his hands. Penang will not face a crisis as I have seen his handing of the state's crazy traffic conditions and he is able to go the impossible.

But in the meantime, we have to be aware and contribute your effort to save water in view of the persisting heat wave.

Namaste.
