A Chinese wisdom.
It is a blur vision of multi colors . We are racing against time while our lives passes through. We. Ould not see what type of flowers or its shape and distinct colors, everything is a mass of blurs. We can stretch life to a 100 and continue to chase for time but we fail to live our lives and admire the beauties in this world while rushing through our journey.
Pause . Stop and come down from the horse and walk on your journey, you find that life is much more than rushing through your journey in life. Take a careful look at things around you and besides you. Talk time to watch and stare at things around you . You will see the beautiful colors in life and the wonderful textures of the flowers.
You will start to appreciate the people around you and you will enjoy third presence more. You will see the people around you growing and changing instead of living in an illusion and always rushing and pushing.
Life is more than that and it is not how long we live but how well we have lived and continued living.
Namaste.

5 ways to remain positive (extract)
IHistory has shown that those with an optimistic outlook on life are the ones who usually find the most success.
For me, changing my negative mental attitude to a positive one resulted in a completely different lifestyle, both personally and professionally. When I changed my mindset and increased my positivity, I went from multiple failed startups and a depressed state to starting a successful app business and being featured in Entrepreneur Magazine.
Here are five tips that have helped me release my negative mentality and become more positive:
Express gratitude. One of the easiest ways to increase your positivity is to express gratitude. Being thankful for what you currently have immediately releases any negativity that you might be holding onto. Gratitude instantly puts you in touch with the feeling of love. Where love resides, fear and all other negative emotions cannot.
The best and most effective way to implement gratitude in your life is to express it every morning. Upon waking up, express 10 things you are grateful for. This list can either be spoken out loud or within the confines of your mind, but they must be detailed and come from your heart. Closing your eyes can further help you feel gratitude.
Be a giver. Many times, negative feelings can be caused by focusing on the perceived negative aspects of your life. You can instantly shift this feeling by giving unconditionally to others.
Share your skills with the people around you. If someone is looking for advice, help them out. Do not hesitate or doubt your value. Even the smallest of gestures or thoughts shared can cause a massive shift in another individual's perspective.
Control your breath. It has been said that those who have the ability to control their breath have the ability to control their life. In many aspects, this statement is very true. Look back to a time when you lost control. What happened to your breathing pattern? In anger, your breath became short and quick. If you control your breath, you can understand and change your negative emotions.
Either in a quiet space or during meditation, practice following your breathing. As you take a breath in (through your nose), feel the air enter your body and go deep into your lungs. As it hits the deepest part of your lungs, feel it slowly leave your body (through your mouth) and release any and all tension.
Visualize success. Tapping into your ability to visualize or imagine can be used as a powerful tool to become more positive. Many of the world's greatest minds, including Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Tiger Woods and Arnold Schwarzenegger, have been known to use the power of visualization to attract what they desire throughout life, so why aren't you?
Begin by closing your eyes. Think of a positive event that occurred in your past. In your mind's eye, see the event exactly as it happened. Place yourself within the event and feel the positive emotions as they occurred. When you open your eyes, allow yourself to stay in this positive state. The effects of visualization can be multiplied if meditation is practiced beforehand.
Meditate. Meditation is one of the most effective ways to increase your positivity. The practice of meditation expands awareness within the individual and allows for a clear connection between mind, body and soul. Through meditation, you can learn to release negative emotions that are holding you back and connect with your higher self.
Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit, lie down or do whatever feels right to you. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. While breathing deeply, feel yourself letting go of all the emotions you are holding onto. With each breathe, let go a little more. As you let go, realize everything around you is made of love and allow yourself to live within this love.
If you implement these tactics and practice these techniques, you will be connected to the flow of life and you will find more "luck" than you ever have before.

The art of confrontation
The art of confrontation
This is an art and not a science . When to attack, when to retreat and when to strike. The most important is how hard is the strike to hit it in and get the optimum impact.
All these steps are different in different circumstances and this the beauty of this art. Just like in the art of Tai Chi.
Each movement , each posture, each breath and the speed will determine the strike or retreat of each moment.
The firmness of the step, the movement of the hands guiding the breath,, the depth of each breath and the relaxation of each push and retreat will provide the optimum impact of this coordinated movement . When people attack, you retreat and you counter attack. When the force is too strong , you have to avoid the force and move away and wait for the right moment to attack. It is not necessary for us to counter each strike . A retreat is also an attack because the attacker missed the mark and used up his or her energy. However, when to exercise these steps varies according to your opponent。 if he is weak, you kill him in one strike and if he is powerful, you have to retreat and wait for the timing to attack or you better run away.
These sequence of action also can be used in the war of words or in a quarrel. If your opponent is your superior , you better judge his mood before raising a point or be aware of his limit and be prepared to hold your balls and run. Apply the wisdom of say nothing and do nothing when you are angry. Just walk away from the situation and let to your anger. Stay well and fight another day.
The speed ,the power of each blow, the depth of each breath and execution of each step needs good judgement to be effective. This will depend on your skill and knowledge to judge.
To know the strength and weakness of your opponent will help you to win the war. A thousand times over.

The fruit's sweetness
I was told by my friend , an old Japanese expatriate living in Penang. He told me that we should eat the fruits when it is just ripe. If we eat it too young, it is sour , bitter and coase and if we wait until it is just ripe, the fruits will be at its best taste and texture will be awsome. However, if we eat it when it is too ripe , it will be too soft and too watery and too sweet.
Everything have its moments to reach its maximum. For food, action , sex and happiness. There is an optimum moment to enjoy all the wonders in life.
Sometimes , the moment may not come easy and we have to tolerate adn strike it when it is hot. To make a good sword, the sword must be treated and hammered into shape at the appropriate heat or temperature.
For happiness, it will be the maximum if the right environment and situation pervail. When there is an achievement , when there is a recognition and when there is a proper stage to provide the optimum effect.
For sex, it is a matter of fore play and when the climax is up, the proper strike will bring it higher to perfection. The feelings will be released and the juice will flow.
So, the right timing , the right action, the right existence will bring out the best effect. The foods' best sweetness.
We have to have the patience and the wisdom to wait and strike at the best timing.

A small German restaurant ,Penang.
It is not the little wine bar near irrawaddy road but a small german restaurant oppersite the Chinese Chin Woo along Burmah Road, Penang. You have drive slowly before you can see it.
Last Saturady, I took my wife to this german restuarant and it was a small restaurant operating like a home cooked place. There was barely six tables and most of it was occupied . It was rainingly heavily outside and there was only a few parking space.
It was warm inside with a simple set up and with the bar and cashier occupying the back portion. Their specialty was pork belly, german sausage , beef soup, chicken and pasta. I ordered two house wine to celebrate my wife's birthday and she ordered beef while I ordered the pork belly. I also ordered a german sausage and it was tasty and good.
The service was also acceptable but it took awhile for the food to come to our table. Apart from this point was quite a good dinner and both of us enjoy the food and the drinks.
It is also highly recommended to people who love good home cooked german food.

Lau Ee sharks fin restaurant, Penang .
Last night , I celebrated my wife birthday with my daughter , sister , brother in law and his girlfriend at the Lau Ee restaurant in Air Itam. I have been there a couple of times in the past and it has got less business now. The last time , I went there , it was only my table and last night , it was two tables.
We ordered abalone, crab noodles, goose leg noodles , chicken and fried rice and it cost me more than RM500 . Just the abalone was already RM380. what can I say ? They told me that it was the best mexican abalone. I have test it before and it was real good I must say.
The owner asked me to order sharksfin. I don't mind the price but thinking that the sharks were thrown back into the sea after the fishmen cut off their fins really turn me off. What a sin it will be if we were to eat sharksfin. Lets avoid it as I remember we sow what we reap.
I brought along the wine and the birthday cake and luckily, they do not charge any service fee.
The Lau Ee sharksfin restaurant have been famous for a while when they operate legally in Georgetown and suddenly, it shifted their place of operation and finally at Hai Keat estate in Air Itam , near to Penang hill.
It was a private house and inside was really green while a big fish pond with Japanese carps and a garden for rabbits. It has the serenity and the wonderful chi for the dinners.
It is highly recommended for your to experience the good atmosphere and the wonderful chi while eating good and tasty food.

It is a messy place.
The messy place
I have live for almost 20 years in my house and the neighborhood is gradually getting crowded with some flats and apartments springing up. The cars are also getting more on the roads especially getting to work and back.
Luckily, the Government widen the roads leading in and out of this township. However , there are only a few parks in the area. There green lungs are very important as this is providing space and fresh air for the area.
However, there is a small park right in front of my house. It was mend to let the residents to exercise and relax but it was left as an open space for a long time. First , it bece a car park as the place got more congested. Then, come an Indian temple . It started small but gradually increase in size. God also took a space from the park and then a fee big cages came and some people started to breed dogs and it gets noisy and the neighbors complained to the council and the change to rearing chicken and started to build sheds for living . Finally, they erected a pole to pull electricity to the temple and the sheds. Everything gets settled in .
A complain was make to the council that electricity have to supply illegally to the shed. Then , the reply came that the supply was legal and when the people debuted that the shed is illegal , the reply fell silent.
Is it legal to supply electricity to an illegal house ??? LOL and stupid.
