Thoughts

can turn into an idea. An idea can manifest and shape a person's beliefs.

" What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere. "


Ever since your passing I had a seed planted in my mind telling me that I dont have to be afraid of death because I know you are waiting for me somewhere only we will know...

-

I want to wake up every morning knowing how I will end the day : satisfied and no regrets that I've lived the fullest for that day. And not wake up knowing that heck, I'll be late to work, wondering what is installed for me today. All these made me stop for a while and ponder upon my own life, using Steve Job's life as a parameter.

Do I even know what am I meant for? Am I meant for bigger things or is this what I am ? Is this what I'm suppose to do? Am I even fit for this? Am I even in my comfort zone? When am I suppose to step out of it? Can I survive it?

Like what Steve Jobs once said, death is the biggest motivator in our lives. We know life is short and uncertain, that's why people strive for the best and when their time is up, they can look back at their flourished lives with no regrets. As we age, death will inevitably draw closer to our realization. So? Are we going to make a change, or are we making a big fuss about it without any actions ( NATO = No Action Talk Only)? I'm certainly making a big fuss out of it hoping for the day when technology becomes so advance, we don't have to die.

"Like a cyclist, we must keep our eyes on the road ahead, continually adjust and adapt to stay balanced and move forward. Once we stop peddling, we come to a standstill and fall. In sports or in business, stopping or slowing down is not an option. If the terrain is tougher and more uphill, we just have to peddle harder and faster, to keep moving and staying in the race. Times may be tough, but business must go on. We need to operate more productively in an unforgiving market environment and learn to cope with uncertainty and volatility."

Does it apply to life as well? Continue to adjust and adapt, be relevant? Then we're just slaves to what the society/economy wants us to be? Steve Jobs would have disagreed with this, as he did not adjust and adapt, but embrace the future with what he wants the world to be, and how he can create a need in society. Regardless of whether we are slaves or not, one thing is certain, we can't stop peddling. Life must go on whether we like it or not, it's just a matter of how fast you peddle. As we are peddling steadily wading through all the bumps in life, we'll come to a point where we realised that we've peddled so far and we're on the verge of reaching our final destination : gates of heaven / hell. And then what? Look back at the colorful journey, smile and goodbye? Is life really as simple as that? Really?

I just don't want to forget the route that I took. I want my journey to be as significant as possible. I want to touch lives along the way, I want them know my significance ( kinda selfish but well.. I think I want pride and fame lol ). BUT THEN again, before all these, I must start somewhere.

I must start the day knowing exactly how it is going to end : waking up late, yawning after lunch only after midday and driving through the stupid peanut butter JAM isn't how I want the day to be. GREAT.

Where'd You Go?

Where'd you go?

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the night always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying not to stay awake,
'Cause your image and words always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, I wished I had talked to you more,
I wished I dialled your number more often than you did to me
But when I pick up the phone I don't have much to say,


So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you,
Until the day I succeed far better than you,
I will always ask myself "Where'd you go?"

PURPOSE

How do we know what we are meant for? What is the purpose of us being here? The purpose of living is awaiting death? How about evading / escaping death? I am lost. Why take someone's live when they have not even discovered their purpose in life?

Everything has a reason,  a purpose

Take life as it comes. No, we should not leave our lives in the hands of others. Take control. But there's only one thing we cannot control : Death

Overcome the fear of death:

We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. The truth is no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything and they will carry on. Some might choose to leave this world but some did not? What about those who were forced to leave to make up the numbers?
 
Probably , perseverance is the best solution

Joss Sticks

Or Incense?
What is the significance?
To pay respect? Worship?
Or just a ritual?
Not offering it often?
So?
Does it mean you don't respect the person?
You don't love the person?
You don't miss the person?
I hold you dear in my heart,
I don't offer incense NOT
Because I don't respect you
It's because
It's all in the heart and mind
And I don't feel that you left us
I still feel that you are around
That's why I can smile
Some dont understand
My emotions and feelings
When I think of you
Sometimes I might tear
But most of the time
I will smile =)

I think what it says is true. It's all in the heart and the thoughts that count. It's something between you and I. I do not need to show others how much I respect you, nor show others how much I miss you or how much you mean to me. The only one who should know is you.

-untitled-

Where have you been?
I've been missing you.
I see ppl talking to their dads' over the phone
And I miss your calls asking me
"Where are you now?"
"How did the paper go? Can do? Koyak?"
Or scolding me "Where the hell are you?"
When it's only 11 pm.
I miss dialling your number just to tell you
"Di, I've passed all!"
And he'll reply "Good Good"
*goes to the bar to celebrate with his friends*
Using me as an excuse to drink.
I know you are always proud of me.
But I cant tell you now how proud am I to have you.
I can only show it by succeeding in my career
And letting ppl know that I am your son
I miss your voice when I hear ppl singing
Your fav karaoke song, we dont get bored of it.
And also your lame jokes,
Making us as lame/funny/lamer than you
The biggest resemblence I guess
Including the way you carry yourself
As a person, son, friend, father and husband
The things that u exposed me to when i was younger
Comes in handy now when i am working
Just like what u told me "I am telling u things 10 years your age"
I remember telling u bout my friends during secondary school
Telling you bout my uni assignments and assholes in my group
Giving me ideas for my assignments
Telling us about ur experiences thoughout your life
Altho it has been repeated for the umpth time
Your intelligence, observation skills and street-wise thinking
Is something I would try to emulate, I hope to be equally good
We were supposed to go to Korea together,
So near yet so far.
We were suppose to go to Liverpool together,
Looks like I'll be a lone ranger
I will carry u in my heart all the way to Liverpool
And I wont forget the promises we made
If I ever get the tatoo,
You'll be part of me, you've always been, always will be
And you'll never walk alone

11.30

The time has finally stopped at 11.30. A watch can never be timeless. It needs to be constantly reenergized to continue running. Time can never stop moving but the time on an object can. So much for being timeless.

Time cannot be freezed. Once we missed the time, we miss the moment.

Sometimes the same time on a different day might just change your course of life. The 11.30 today and the 11.30 tomorrow is never going to be similar, unless it's a routine, say WORK? =)

Save You

Take a breath


I pull myself together

Just another step till I reach the door

You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you

I wish that I could tell you something

To take it all away



Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there're so many things that I want you to know

I won't give up, I won't go somehow

If it takes me forever I want you to know



When I hear your voice

Its drowning in a whisper

It's just skin and bones

There's nothing left to take

And no matter what I do I can't make myself feel better

If only I could find the answer

To help me understand



Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there're so many things that I want you to know

I wont give up till I make you proud

If it takes me forever I want you to know



That if I fall, stumble down

You'll pick me up off the ground

If I lose faith in myself

You'll give me strength to pull through

Tell me to not give up cause you'll be waiting if I fall

Oh I know you'll be there for me

And I'll be always in your heart


Sometimes I wish I could save you,

And there's so many things that you have not seen

If I could I would save you so that

You can see us grow,

Watch us fly, just like doves

In return feeling your glow



But I know deep down in my heart,

You have already been saved,

You will see us succeed and

Live life happily just like having you by our sides

We'll carry on with your laughter, joy and happiness

who do you think you are?

I learned to live, half alive
And now I have to do it one more time


And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart


You won't catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Cuz you're always everyone's sunshine
Who do you think you are?

I feel you're asking all around
If we're anywhere to be found
But we will stay strong
To always live with you in our minds


I've learned to live, half alive
But I want the good old days one more time


It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had told you that "I love you"
‘Eventhough you broke all your promises
And now you're gone
I don't get to get you back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing us apart
I'll remember what's been told
From your heart of gold
So, Don't worry about us
Please rest in peace

Believe?

If only we believed. All things are possible. If only we trusted- there is goodness waiting for us. That miracles do happen, that love surrounds you, that beauty is created for you. Belief is everything. What you believe determines your action. And your actions determine the results you create in your life. Start with your beliefs. They are everything.


To believe is to know that every day

is a new beginning.

It is to trust that miracles happen,

and dreams really do come true.

To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,

To know the wonder of a stardust sky

and the wisdom of the man in the moon.

To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,

The innocence of a child's eyes

and the beauty of an aging hand,

for it is through their teachings we learn to love.

To believe is to find the strength

and courage that lies within us.

When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.

To believe is to know we are not alone,

That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.

To believe is to know that wonderful surprises

are just waiting to happen,

And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.

If only we believe.

WAKE UP IT'S TIME FOR EXAMS!!!

This feeling seems all so familiar to me that I ACTUALLY MISS IT! I MISS EXAMS, I MISS THE STUDY STRESS, I MISS THE THINGS I DO IN UNI, I MISS THE PEOPLE IN UNI. Now I understand why most people say UNI is the best time of one's life, besides the stress of exams. The people we meet, the bond we created, the lives we can touch is simply great, come to think of it. I rather have exams stress than WORK stress because WORK can really bring you DOWN DOWN DOWN!! Most importantly, the people we meet in the course of our education is VERY much different from the people we come across in the outside world ( that is if we assume UNI as our comfort zone ) 




I'D RATHER HAVE EXAMS STRESS THAN WORK STRESS!!! =(

Now when I really have some time to sit down at home NOT doing anything, it felt weird. Maybe because home is just like a place for me to sleep/regenerate/heal/wtv you name it while waiting for the next day to arrive. It got me thinking how much of time I actually spend at home? Now that I have the time to spend at home, I don't know what to do with it! Is my life already drifting away from home and being replaced by work? Maybe it's the nature of the work that I dislike which induced such feelings. Home = SLEEP???

Anyhow, when we were in UNI, if we ever ( most of the time ) wake up late/oversleep, we can actually have a choice of skipping lectures/tutorials, but when we are working, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to get our asses up. Choice is never an option to begin with. Somehow or rather, I miss these feelings associated to Uni. Or maybe I just miss being LAZY =P 

I wished I could have cherished my uni days more, made the best out of it. I wished I bump into more people and kept friends like how children keep sweets in their pockets. I wished I put in more effort for everything I did but I am happy and proud that UNI felt like my second home where there's a sense of belonging, with all the nice and not so nice people around. Now when I think of certain not so nice people I met in uni, they are nothing compared to the people I meet outside! In uni, we can meet really nice people/friends who believes in sharing is caring, ie assignments. Outside, it's a world of survival of the fittest. In uni, we learn from our mistakes but outside, we cannot AFFORD mistakes! Harsh, but it's the fact. 

Where am I heading towards? Maybe I should take up a masters/PHD and stay in UNI! LOL! Certainly in the comfort zone but reflective of myself? Nah... TIME to MAN-UP, STEP IN to the real WORLD. There must be self-belief and mental strength in other to cope with this huge transition but once we get through this transition, we will be on a one way ticket ride all the way to RETIREMENT! For now, I HATE MONDAYS!!!! I WILL STILL!!!

8) Your BOSSES construct their sentences with such profanity that FUCK seems to sound just like a "lah"

9) Your working contract say you can leave at 5.30pm but NO ONE leaves the office BEFORE 6.30/7pm

10) COFFEE and CHOC seems to be your best friend to keep yourself awake after a heavy lunch

11) You look around the department and see many "mental down" faces esp on MONDAYS

12) Your colleagues gossip about scandals, backstabbing happily macam no work

13) THERE IS NO INTERNET ACCESS in the office!!!

14) You have no choice but to neglect friends, family and special ones

15) You will constantly tell yourself to ABSORB just like a sponge and FORGET about being UNDERPAID

16) YOU MISS THE LIFE BEFORE WORK

You Got Any Lemonade?

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade? Is this old but famous adage as simple as we think it is? Life was and never will be as simple as that. This phrase is said by some to show optimism , but to what extent? If you are given  lemons, WILL you make lemonade? DO you make lemonade because you WANT to make lemonade, OR because you NEED to make lemonade? Is there a choice? Since life is all about choices, WILL you still make lemonade IF there is a choice?

What if you are SO certain that you are going to make lemonade but you are NOT given lemons? Are we destined to make lemonade IF we are given lemons? Yes? No? Are we contented with lemons?

What if some of us want more than lemons, say apples or oranges? Life gives you lemons, but you want orange juice? Throw them in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for?

What if you really really want to make lemonade, you grow a lemon tree but it produces apple instead? To be simple minded maybe when life gives you lemons, just shut up and eat the damn lemons? Period.

Well, by the time you are done thinking of what to do with the lemons, the lemons would have been very bitter and even fermented. Maybe another lesson that we can learn from this phrase is to not take too much of time to hesitate? In a consistent comparison to "procrastinator is the thief of time", this phrase also implies that one's procrastination/hesitation might just cost a life-altering decision, and TIME as well.

However, we are all human beings and what differentiates us most from animals is the fact that humans have feelings/emotions, which can lead to a positive or negative outcome, and it entirely lies in our own hands to make a decision. This phrase very much reflects a feeling of dilemma because we'll be doing a lot of thinking, more thinking and even more thinking : "hhmm.. what to do with this lemon ah?"

While some people never regret their decisions, some would just stop for a moment while squeezing the lemon and think : "Hey, what if the lemons are too sour?" or "Where to get sugar?" or "Hey buddy, mind selling me your cup of lemonade?". I mean, what is the point of pondering/thinking too much when you know how unpredictable and random life is? Have some courage, make a decision, and never look back because you have already chosen.

As much optimism as this phrase can reflect, there are always still a lot of factors of consideration that determines the outcome of the lemons given to you. So will you do something about about the given lemons or are you going to ponder about it and regret if the lemons turn bitter due to the amount of time you took to think? You decide.






As for him, he has already chosen NOT to make lemonade. Instead, he conned everyone by using lime and buried the lemons deep down the ground. He has the courage to choose and he is living with no regrets. *salutes*

I.T.C.H.Y

Have you ever felt an itchy sensation at a particular part of your body and when u reach out to scratch it, you realized that it doesn't cure the itch? Felt as though as the itch stemmed from another spot of your body, or somewhere else? And the funny thing is, you'll go round scratching everywhere in hopes of finding the right spot that will cure the original itch? You'll do all sorts of funny things to identify where the itch comes from or maybe try as many methods as possible (trial and error method) to cure this itch. Scrubbing your feet against the carpet, messing up your already messed up hair, scratching and poking your toes and fingers, these are just the very few things that one would resort to doing just to look for the source of the itch. Am I weird for feeling this way? It has been past 30 minutes and here I am still looking for a cure for the itch. HELP ME!!

btw, I finally found the spot! after another 5 minutes of itch searching

The Beginning

of a new chapter in life ? With just a day or two left before I know whether I am officially a graduate or not, I took some time to reflect on this long journey that got me to this point of time where I have another massive-life-changing-career-altering-decision to make. The ever-so-looming questions that gives me the chills down my spine are : Where do I go from here? What should i do now? Trust me, these two questions are enough to create a feeling of  "a school of insecure fishes being forced to swim with the waves towards the ocean of uncertainties"

Now I truly understand why am I feeling a sense of attachment towards this institution that has failed me not once, not twice but three times, and yet is my only guarantee to a better life ahead. Simply put, am I just not ready to face the harsh reality? The decisions made throughout the stages of my life were very much governed by the influence of other parties but this time round, for the second time in my life, I have to make decisions without any other influences and without having any idea of the risks and ambiguities ahead of me, or rather (to show some optimism), the opportunities that lies ahead of this unforeseeable route. 

Regardless, I know that the forces of aura that surrounds me will ensure that I will not walk this string of journey alone, and this force is strong enough to contain the aura in the form of a cyclical motion so that it will go round and round, in never-ending circles. This aura is not something that I chose, but at the same time, something that I don't want to lose. It came from no where and now giving meaning to every step that I am taking, including all the future undertakings. I don't know what the future brings but I know the aura will be so lost within me that it won't find a way out, and with that I know I can securely make  it through, and believing that I can make everything okay.

When I walk through a storm, I will hold my head up high. I won't be afraid of the dark because at the end of a storm there will be a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark. I will walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, though my dreams be tossed and blown. I will walk on, WITH A HOPE , in my heart, and I'LL NEVER WALK ALONE for this hope stems from within, and what lies within me, within my heart, is my soul and the AURA that is still looking for a way out.

So, where should I go now? what should I do now? I still have no idea .FULLSTOP.

Get back up!

Baby giraffes never go to school. But they learn a very important lesson rather early in life. A lesson that all of us would do well to remember:

The birth of a baby giraffe is quite an earth- shaking event. The baby falls from its mother’s womb, some eight feet above the ground.

It shrivels up and lies still, too weak to move. The mother giraffe lovingly lowers her neck to smooch the baby giraffe. And then something incredible happens.

She lifts her long leg and kicks the baby giraffe, sending it flying up in the air and tumbling down on the ground. As the baby lies curled up, the mother kicks the baby again and again. Until the baby giraffe, still trembling and tired, pushes its limbs and for the first time learns to stand on its feet.

Happy to see the baby standing on its own feet, the mother giraffe comes over and gives it yet another kick. The baby giraffe falls one more time, but now quickly recover and stand up. Mama Giraffe is delighted. She knows that her baby has learnt an important lesson:  

Never mind how hard you fall, always remember to pick yourself up and get back on your feet.

Why does the mother giraffe do this? She knows that lions and leopards love giraffe meat. So unless the baby giraffe quickly learns to stand and run with the pack – it will have no chance of survival. Most of us though are not quite as lucky as baby giraffes.

No one teaches us to stand up every time we fall. When we fail, when we are down, we just give up.
No one kicks us out of our comfort zone to remind us that to survive and succeed, we need to learn to get back on our feet.

If you study the lives of successful people though, you will see a recurring pattern. Were they always successful in all they did? No. Did success come to them quick and easy? No, no! You will find that the common streak running through their lives is their ability to stand up every time they fall. The ability of the baby giraffe!

The road to success is never an easy one. There are several obstacles, and you are bound to fall sooner or later. You will hit a roadblock, you will taste failure. But success lies in being able to get up every time you fall. That’s a critical life skill. And it’s the habit of all successful people. Learning to win in life is quite like learning to ride a bicycle.

As you start to ride, you might fall and get bruised. It doesn’t matter. You need to get back up and continue to ride. Fall one more time? Get back up again. That’s all it takes. Learn to get back up every time you fall.
And just remember one more thing. Next time you find a friend or a parent kicking you, don’t get upset with them.

Like the mother giraffe, they may only be trying to teach you one of life’s most important lessons.

Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end...

No Shouting!!

I came across this very reflective article in the papers :

Once a professor asked his students : "Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?" The students thought for a while before one of them said: "We shout because we lose our calm."

"But why shout when the other person is just next to you? Isn't it possible to speak to him/her with a soft voice?"

The students gave various answers, none of which satisfied the professor.

Finally he explained : "When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to head each other through that great distance."

Then he asked : "What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are close. The distance between them is small.

"When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak - they only whisper and get closer to each other in their love.

"Finally they do not even need to whisper. They only look at each other, that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other."

So, when we argue, do not let our hearts get distant or say words that distance each other even more, or there may come a day when the distance is so great you will not find the path back to each another.

TEAMWORK

The best and the worst part of my 2010 revolved around : TEAMWORK. It can bring you up so high and yet smack you right at the face. A team player can't survive in an individualistic environment, that's for sure but what's even more factual is that if you get team players that acts like one, who talks like one, who believes that they are one, who convinces themselves and others that they are one, then my friend, you are in deep trouble!

But then again once in a while you'll get team mates who do not possess the necessary skills and knowledge but they are hardworking, resourceful and willing to work for the team. There are some who will wait for the right moment to rise up to the occasion with the right attitude, right enthusiasm, right leadership but wrong timing because it's always very much too late!! Also , we do get team mates who tries to dictate without any form of respect, who ends up with no end product and/or worse : no respect from his/her team mates.

The worst team mates that one will ever get are those who are ignorant, don't give a damn about anything, a free-rider who expects things to be done and their only contribution is their assessment cover sheet, toppled with golden words of motivation such as "chill la, why so stress" when the half-done assignment is due the next day. Not to forget, their common phrase would be " what can I do/contribute? I wanna help out " when he/she know nuts about the task besides charming their potential lovers to get them Mc D, coming up with irrelevant suggestions such as going to Klang to complete the assignment at his/her place (when the rest of the team mates are all centered around Subang/KL), and only pretty skilled at their smartphone games.

I'd rather live without these type of team mates but we had to live with him/her on the surface but deep down they are without an identity in the TEAM
If TEAMWORK is that EASY in REALITY


Some TEAMS fail because they chose to fail,
Some TEAMS fail because they are meant to fail,
Some TEAMS fail because they have no choice but to fail
Some TEAMS fail because the other TEAMS succeeded
but MOST TEAMS fail because of TEAMWORK and
TEAMWORK fails because there's no TEAM at all !!


SO, should we be cruel but eliminating those who slow you/the team down? NO. We just don't choose them to be in the team in the first place. But how would we know their capabilities/weaknesses? The best answer that I can give you is to trust rumors and  trust your instinct, because I SCREWED UP once!

However with a mindset of "the positives always outweighs the negatives", i can assure you that the only positives we can take is that the rest of the team members will be even more bonded and the negatives/bad news is someone will be left out so badly that they will feel really really damn useless . Do they even bother? NO. Why would they even bother? Some people never change. Period.

Regardless, I was tied in a bond so strong that it seems unbreakable to me, and i truly believe that we can still be the B.E.S.T without the E, so long as we give it our best, enjoy the process of working our brain juices together, we suffer together, we lack sleep together, we eat together, we starve together, we complete it together, we can have a satisfaction greater than what an individual can ever achieve because it's always a case of combined efforts = combined amplified satisfaction! =)

B.S.T is still the best and we won't miss the E! hell yea! =)

TEAM : Together Everyone Achieve More
