There is a time for everything

When people failed to get what they want, they ask why ? There is no answer to this question why and maybe it is not the time yet.  Many of the Gen Y relatives are not getting married or meet the man of their life while other Gen Ys have been terminating relationships like nobody's business.  Relationship is like the clothes on our body and it can be change everyday if we so wish.  No obligations or commitments at all.

To make a thing happen , it will depend on the gathering of the right people, the right place and the right timing.  All these three ingredients must be there.  People is the chemistry, places is the catalyst and timing to seal all the factors together. These three factors will make things happen.

So, these also the belief in Fung Shui and the gathering of the three elements by using the knowledge of Tao De Ching.  By using these Fung Shui readings . It will tell you when is the right time to meet after studying the profile of the people attending the meeting and where it is the most suitable catalyst or place to meet. The most important is the timing.  You maybe skeptical of these art or science but it has gone through thousand of  years and refinement to be of some success. Many Chinese business people belief in such art or science.

While the knowledge of Fung Shui is complicated , it needs deep knowledge to be useful and in ancient times , they can predict the death of the Emperor . So, it is up to each of you to belief or not.

Thai massage at One Stop Mall at Pulau Tikus , Penang

I have seen a lot of interest in Thai massage on my blog and I would like to introduce the Thai Massage in Penang.  Recently, massage has been my regular routine as I aged and feel more lively after that.

We have many Thai massage places in Penang and there are two such Thai massage centers in the One Stop Mall in Penang.  Another pretty upmarket one is Thai Odessey  ie one in Gurney Plaza and one in Straits Quay.  There is also a reasonable Thai massage center in Lorong Selamat ie KRR. I was told by my Brother in law , that it is quite reasonable.

My preference is the massage of my back and buttock as I sit about 6 hours everyday at my desk and I need to massage my back and buttock to improve the blood circulations to my backside and leg.  In Thai Massage centre in One Stop Mall , there is a painting on the wall to inform us on the benefits of Massage.  One of the main benefit is to improve the immune system of the body and compliment the medicine to cure your illness.  By massage, it improves the benefits of the supplement or medicine to cure your illness.  

Actually, I could feel that a routine massage could provide a balance to your body by giving you back the agility and balance so that your body would not deteriorate or become hurtful.

So, enjoy the practice and for visitors , pls visit the few places for your leisure and good health.

Namaste.

Age is not a number, it is real

My sister in law was with my family last weekend  and she aged so much and after hurting her back , she even walk or act like an old lady.  A few years ago, she told me that age is just a number but even after so much yoga exercise, there is no stop to aging   It is for real.

Last night , I met my classmate who I have not seen 20 years ago and I was shocked at the sight of him He is bald , his eye brows has turn white and he looks really old.  He and his wife have adopted many children, They love kids, He starts to talk about old times and it was really good to see him

He is not the only one I met and I also met another friend for past 10 years last sunday and he really aged like my friend I saw last night,  There is no escape, I am becoming like them . Old , bald and haggard, This is for real,

For me , I have experienced different  body pain for the first time . My eyes could just felt very painful  and with double visions, my eyes is so tired that the pain spread to my right arms and I could just experienced some sudden pain and this goes away after a short while. I do not have such experience before and I went for a check up at a clinic and the Doctor told me that it is a sigh of old age.  My muscles will start to deteriorate at different parts of my body and it will caused such sparms of pain. It may get old with age,

I have stop practicing Tai Chi for a few months and I will have to resume soon to provide my the flexibility and balance  The slow motion movement maybe appropriate now to keep me alive and well. Yeah, it is time to let go and consolidate my investments and slow down to handle a slow life as I aged.

Namaste

My trip to Hatyai , Thailand

Last weekend , I took a short trip to Hatyai , a two days and one night holiday. I was shocked at the long queue going into Hatyai and the long container queue coming out of Hatyai, the following day.  I wonder why the procedure is so primitive like when I was in Bangladesh twenty years ago. Why isn't somebody do anything about it.  But , the trip was not all unpleasant.

The people were friendly, the Chinese food was good and the price of things were about 50% cheaper than in Penang and 70% cheaper than in KL  It was amazing that such good food can be so cheap and it was really a wonderful trip, I had two massage in a day, it could only 300 bahts for a two hours massage which is about RM50 and I have to pay RM150 in Malaysia,  However, my two session was not so good but it is my tate or I maybe expecting a more thorough job.

The dinner on Friday night was amazing , we have two markerel fish , a big squid, one viggie, cockerels, chickel , two big crabs, one grass noodles with big prawns and it cost only RM150 for the dinner,  The taste was fantastic and the environment was really good,

I went around the wet market and there was so much fresh foods and it was really cheap. It must be a really shopping paradise for women,  That was what I was told .

One of the local told me that the Government give business grants of RM60K  and it was to provide employment to the local people and they only have to furnish records of customers going to their shops to buy things or to get services.  There was so many cafĂ©, massage centres and food stalls in Hatyai. 

For my trip, I have a teo chew food for lunch, a seafood dinner, a koay teow soup for breakfast and a  kampong chicken rice for lunch before leaving for Penang. 

The whole traveling journey excludes the clumsy immigration told me only 3 hours drive from Penang to Hatyai .  But , a word of caution , please avoid long holidays where the queue will take hours to clear at the immigration , It is really an amazing that the immigration procedures have not change for 40 years at least.

The falling maple leaves

There was a saying that after a storm some leave will fall.  It is not necessary the old leaves but some young leaves as well.  At times,  it is not necessary the old leaves will die and fall first but some young buds will fall as well.  When the wind comes, only the strong will stand and the weak will fall.

Old does not mean weak and young does not mean strong.  Sometimes, it depends on the direction of the wind which hit the leaves.  All those fated to drop will drop where those fated not to fall will remain.

So strength , direction of the storm and how the leave takes the storm will determine outcome of the leave.  Life is like this , there is a lot of evolution and changes will occur if it is destined to happen. There is no question of why or how ?  Things cannot be explain at times and it just happen for a reason or not.

We can protest for its unfairness or for lack of justice.  It is of no help as whatever happens it is for an unknown reason. It is just like the age old question, why does Time move so fast ?  Why can it stop for a moment.  There is no answer to it. It has been happening this way for billion of years and tracked by countless of intelligent people.  Time just stop for no one. Not for the great or the small or helpless.

So, we have to accept the motion of evolution as things or human beings dropped for no reasons.  Just accept and face it and let go.

Namaste.

My last week's happening

My friend have asked me how I want to spent my long weekend holidays. I told him that I just want to sleep , sleep and sleep.  He was surprised as usually people will travel on a long weekend. But, for me, it is a time to rest, detox and sleep .  To catch up with my lack of sleep.  Many friends joined me and agreed with me in whatsapp chat room Yeah, there must be many tired friends around.

However, I have to experience through the weekend . One experience was on sunday breakfast time where I met a friend who I have not met in the past years.  He was with his wife and he retired 10 years ago with his wife and he took up painting as his pastime, Yeah, after retirement , his appearance aged a lot and this is sometime I am worried about and how to spend my retirement years purposefully. I don't have an answer.

The next experience was that I met my high school football coach. He looks the same as he was in my high school years , trim and fit and he is still working in the mall. I think he should be about 65 years old but he looks young.  I think he must be still playing football or coaching in some club and he was once a state footballer. He used to practice football together and he was tough to himself during the practice.  He could still remember my name and I was shocked to see him at his fit self.

These two experience enlighten me of the way we should keep ourselves healthy and youthful.  It is all in the mind and also physically possible to be young forever. I have seen yogis who keep their top energy and live a active life until their ripe old age, Everything is possible.

Power, money and sex

In this world, these three temptations are the basic cravings of mankind.  I have been watching the series ,  Law dis-order , an astro show which illustrate the full impact of these three elements in life.

For power, greed is the underlying factor .  The greed for more power and this is basically after making enough money , power became the subsequent drawing. It is the second element but it is the most powerful of all as it can destroy and kill for the love of power.  Once , you have become king , you cannot let go , the power you have enjoyed as the king  To let go of the power you have is so difficult and humiliating at times

For the love of money, it is the basic factor .  The more the merrier and after the millions, you will want the billions and subsequently the trillions  Yes, greed is also the underlying factor.  The love for money is driving force of life.  Some people work until death for money, There is a saying money is not everything but money is one thing we cannot don't have . Yes, money cannot buy a minute of time at your dying day but it is very comfortable to have plenty,  People struggle for power to make money or after making money, they use money to gain power  It can be both ways but the logical way is getting money and power will come naturally.

The final factor is sex.  With power and money, it corrupts people and these rich and power will spend money on sex or get sex favors.  It is inevitable that power , money and sex is not separable . Power and money will corrupt and sex will come naturally unless nature intervened.  The number of women at most times indicate the power we have.  Power and money also attracts women who admires the achievement of the the rich and powerful

In the show law dis-order, it illustrate the three factors evolving around a big legal firms with the partners trying to kick out each other for money and power and the use of sex for office politics to win favors and support to out do each other   These are the basic faults in successful human beings and how the lawyers use their planning and tactics to create different perceptions to win their legal battles.

All the evolving and facts of life was illustrated in the show which showed the ugly sides of human beings to be powerful and rich, It depends on your own judgement what is right or wrong as there is no such thing as right or wrong.  It is your own decision and perception.

Namaste.
