In life, we often wonder far and wide and living in an illusive world or a world of our own. We tend to lose our roots and our basics. We keep charging infront and leaving all our past and basics far behind chasing after our wealth or our health but living beyond reality. This is the danger of rushing and pushing ahead.
If we stop , pause and look back, we would be aware that our basics are very important to lead a happy and contented life. I was make to be aware of this fact during my yoga session yesterday. My yoga teacher have been trying to ask us to do the more difficult poses and suddenly, she stopped and go back to the basic pose. I find that although I can manage some of the difficult poses, my basic have become rusty and performing a simple pose because difficult. If we have strong basic, then executing the advance poses would be no problem and realizing that my poor basic have actually make my difficult pose more difficult. This is a stubtle feeling and you will not realized it at first but if you dwell on it , then you will realize the logic.
A proper resting of the palm on the floor could reduce the pain or the weight on the palms but if it is wrongly place, the weight of the whole body could rest on the palms and making it heavy and painful.
A good basic is a good foundation for a strong body and a good posture.
This philosphy and concept is also applicable in our daily living. We only need the basic things to live a happy life and all other needs are materialistic and not necessary. It is only our craving or greed that make us feel that it is part of our life. If we go back to find our basics, we will find that we have been doing alot of unnecessary things to live a happy life. Our ego to show what we have is like chasing the "Jones" and wanting a bigger car , a bigger house, a more expensive watch, higher salary ,etc is only to satisfy our ego and greed. We live beyond our basic requirements but face the same ending.
If you consider this as a passive life style , then it is our own way of interpreting life and how we live . Some people view development as an advancement but some think that keeping the basic is advancement. But, the important thing is that everyone of us have to find our path to happiness. Finding happiness is just following a happy path with a happy mind.
Namaste.

Stay clean and Fresh ( Extracts)
How to Stay Clean and Fresh
March 16, 2014 11:00 AM by Beta Nisa

Body odour can be a problem for many people, especially those who perspire easily. Most of the time, however, people tend to ignore or skirt around the issue. Islam encourages us to maintain cleanliness and good hygiene as Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, “Cleanliness is half of faith.”[i] Good hygiene practices are important not only for your home and the environment, but also for a clean body that smells fresh and pleasant. Here are some simple yet effective ways to fight body odour:
1. Natural scrubs
Scrubbing the underarms is a good start to smelling fresh, and lemons make a great natural scrub. Rub a slice of lemon on the armpits to kill bacteria, the chief cause of body odour. Following this routine regularly will help maintain fresh and odour-free armpits. Lemon scrubs also help to brighten the skin.
2. Deodorants vs antiperspirants
Most of us may ask: Aren’t deodorants and antiperspirants the same? The answer is no. Deodorants help minimise body odour through the use of fragrance, but they do not block the production of sweat. On the other hand, antiperspirants reduce sweat production, thus eliminating odour straight from its source.
3. Choose breathable fabrics
A good way to stay smelling nice is to carefully select what you wear. Clothes that absorb sweat easily are a good choice. Try to look for breathable fabrics as they help keep the underarms dry. Loose-fitting clothing is also recommended as it allows better ventilation.
4. Use vinegar to neutralise bacteria
Bacteria is the main cause of body odour, and neutralising it will help you stay fresh. One way to do this is to apply a splash of vinegar on the underarms. Like lemons, vinegar will eliminate bacteria by neutralising it.
Where are you,MH370?
Where are you , MH370?
This question is the main topic nowadays in office , Kopi shops or In bus stands or in taxis. So much publicity and stories and there is no end to speculations.
Now the stories have branch out into terrorism, hijack , suicide and it is leaving to many imaginations. There are so many possibilities. Thrilling or mystery . It all depends on the spices or chilly you add into it. The output is your own doing.
It could also be as simple as it fell into the sea somewhere in this world. Of course, it cannot be in outer space. Maybe , it is possible that the plane is among the stars in the galaxy . Funny but it can be true.LOL.
I have just read that there are 12 cases of missing planes in the past and it has remained unresolved. Some maybe many years after the plane got lost . The outcome is bleak.
The latest is an FBI probe which is linked to a hijack and the Malaysian Government is waiting for a call for randsom and this will prove the theory correct. But there is no call so far. Another theory is that the pilot of the plane is so upset with Anwar's sodomy case that h choose to steal the plane. This will BN in their kajang election against Pakatan. Haiyoo,wishful thinking.
Lets pray for the passengers whether they are dead or alive and please sent your signals to your surviving relative and resolved the mystery or misery and let the whole world move on again.
Namaste.

MH370 blunder
MH370 blunder
Yes. Like everyone I woke up every morning wanting to know the latest happening to the MH370 and get disappointed instead. So much time have been wasted and so much criticism and embarrassment on the Nation and Malaysians.
What if the people is still alive and this blunder could have denied them the chance to live. What are the authorities thinking ? No co-ordinations and lack of proper response.
The latest news is the plane is linked to DS Anwar's aodomy case. So pathetic and funny. Everything that happen Malaysia will be linked to Anwar one way or another. We are so tired of this script. Hey, enough is enough . It has exceeded the limits many folds and become incredible news already.
How long shall the episode continue? Wasting of time , resources and displaying our country's lack of professionalism and competency. It is starting to impact the feelings of the whole nation.
The feeling have escalated from ignorant, to worry , to desperation and to shame. Please get the experts to take over rather than fumbling and wasting more time and resources. With passing if time , it will deteriorate from difficult to impossible.
Hurry and stopped to be arrogant and egoistic. Let someone competent to handle it.
Namaste.

A bread cafe, Kelawai Road,penang
Bread cafe, Kelawai Road , Penang
I was passing by this cafe on a Saturday afternoon and I decided to drop in for a cup of coffee. The cafe is directly Oppersite Gurney Paragon and it was located in the same bungalow which also housed a fashion boutique.
In front of the entrance , there was an old wooden door which is placed as a landmark for the cafe. After entering the glass door, I got a surprise as it is a beautifully decorated cafe in a French taste. It is quite brightly lighted up with small tables and chairs of different designed. The counter was fully of different cakes and breads . The menu was well done with pictures of the different dishes and with the proper prices .
I liked the design and color matching of the walls and furniture. I was with my daughter M and I told her that I would like to operate a similar type of cafe after I retire. She lift her head and look around and give me a welcome smile. She never say 'yes ' or 'no' . Maybe she have her own plan.
I ordered a salad , a cup of coffee while she ordered a sunny side egg with bread and a smoothie. I also ordered a French bread and a Tiramitsu . I enjoyed a Saturday afternoon with my daughter, May in a beautiful cafe. What else we need to do? Nothing , just relax and enjoy the food.
It was abit pricey but it does not matter. It is value for money especially enjoying the time with somebody I loved dearly, my daughter M

The missing MH370
The mystery of the MH370 make many people see stars as four days have passed and yet there was no sign of the plane. Curiosity kills a cat as many people are expecting an early ending to this sad episode. The plance was heading towards Beijing and fell off the radar on the South China Sea. How come it cannot be detected ? Is there a new Bermuda Triangle in the Vietnam waters ? It must a joking theory but what else can we think off . With all the expensive and sufficated equipments , yet no result.
The longer the ending is not known, the more anger from the families of the ill fated jet's passengers. It is like a boat sank in the middle of the ocean and the fate of the survival is not known. Could it that they were lost in a remote island. Just like the TV series "LOST" and this people will live on the isolated island and have to fan for themselves. If that is the case, then there is still hope.
Another theory is that it has disintegrated in the air because of a mechanical malfunction. Vanished in the air but what about the debris ? There should be some hint of the remains of the jet plane. How can it be so clean ? Impossible , right ?
Could it be that they are searching at the wrong spot ? Instead of in South China Sea , the plane have changed its course and flew back the west side of the country . Perhaps, The Straits of Malacca ? Or the Pacific Ocean ? It is like finding the needle in a haysack or in the Chinese idiom " Catching the moon on the ocean floor ". It is simply an illusion.
Whatever happen, an early resolution is most important to stop all the speculations and rumours and confusion to the mind of the public at large especially to the surviving members of passengers. As long as it is in a limbo, the mind of the people will not be at easy and anger will continued to rise at the competency of the public servants.
May GOD bless all passengers whether they are dead or alive and can their spirit rise to give a direction to what happen to them.
Namaste.

A tough weekend.... it was with a heavy heart
Last Thursday, it was reported that DS Anwar was sentenced to 5 years jail for sodomy 2 and it makes me very uncomfortable with the change of event and the outcome. I found that democracy is properly have ended in my country. It was a very disturbing news.
On Saturday, the missing of MH370 with 239 passenger on board of MAS and the lack of confirmation of what have happened stirred the emotions of the people especially those affected by this crisis. MAS after suffering RM1.2 billion losses and now, come this disaster, what is happening to our Country. MAS shares drop 18% this morning and it was downgraded and what the x%^&$^ is happening to the Country. It was reported that there was two fake passports been used at the immigration check point ie one an Austrian and one Italian and it was used by different nationals. Why can't the immigration identify the difference in their features ? Are they caught sleeping or " leepaking" ?
There goes our Country's resources having to pay for incompetencies and political bankrupts. No wonder so many people have migrated from this Country . Totally incompetent and manipulative morons.
There is a fire fire burning in my heart and my anger starts to escalate and it makes me very upset for what is happening . Should I continued to work so hard and contribute 25% of my income to support this Country or should I pack it up and let these monkeys run this Country.
I have no intention to criticise the management but as a tax payer, I am very upset. I pray for the wrong to be right and the incompetent to be punished for their oversight.
Life have to go on and it is important that the oucome of MH370 be quickly settled and put all the people out of this mistery.
Namaste.
