Freedom

The thought of living happily freely attracts everyone. To achieve that, some work real hard and spend so little time with their loved one… Is it worth?

Cash rich, Time poor?

This fish is a creation of my free mind

Equality and Quality

All 3 strings below are of the same length. When placed on a table, their horizontal length* depends on how they are being positioned. This is like our lives….

Everyone is given 24 hours daily. This is an undeniable fact. What differs is how you live through those 24 hours. Starting planning now!

Your quality of life depends on how you manage those 24 hours.

Which one looks more attractive to you now?

*Note: Horizontal length here signifies lifespan.

Reality is Relative and Truth is Truth

A martial art master once asks his disciplines a question, “What is inside his cup?” They reply simultaneously without giving much thought, “It is tea, Master!” The next moment, the master spills the cup of tea on the floor. Then he asks a similar question, “What is now on the floor?” The answer is without doubt the same. The disciplines are now all puzzled why Master gives then such a no-brainer question. Isn’t he teaching them Kungfu?

Now, the master explains, “Tea is tea (truth), no matter where it is. The form (reality) is relative to the container the tea is in. Without an open heart, one can only see the surface without understanding the truth. Truth is immutable but reality is relative!”

This is the first lesson. The disciplines go back to their dormitory and rest for the day. Some brush this off as some sort of bullshit. For some, this has been one of the most important lessons ever learnt in life.

Truth is simple.

Question:
Look at the big old tree (dropping leaves) versus the apple tree. What are your thoughts?

A tree is a tree. Things become complex when associations are made.

This blog will be updated weekly due to personal commitments.

It is either a Win or Lose…never draw

I’m back with some ideas collected during the 3 weeks holiday. Haha!!

Life is our capital. The game starts the moment we are born; likewise it ends when all capital is lost. Some win big while other lost terribly. The common thing being this game is compulsory; you do not have a choice.

Some use only one winning strategy throughout the game. Others try a lot of methods before finding the Way. To simplify, some winning key moves are:

Hit: Take action immediately

Stand: Do not take uncalculated risk.

Double down: When the opportunity arrives, grab it and put up a good show

Split a pair: Learn to give credits to others as well

Surrender: Lose gracefully and with dignity

Dealer upcard is Ace. Do you want to take insurance?

There is no insurance for mishandling your life.

Really a Nice Dream…

Amazingly I know this bunch of people for NINE long years (many thoughts indeed)…
Starting tomorrow NINE, civilian life goes on as usual… NIGHT!!!

9 TIMES 9 = 81

The passage of time is so fast that it is forgotten…
Below sums up life in just a few sentences:

少年听雨歌楼上，红烛昏罗帐。
壮年听雨客舟中，江阔云低，断雁叫西风。
而今听雨僧庐下，鬓已星星也。
悲欢离合总无情，一任阶前，点滴到天明。

A Man and A MAC Story

“Hey all Man, listen up! Tonight, the pass code is MAC. When you see a person approaching our territory, challenge him immediately! If he can’t answer within 1 minute or try anything funny, he Maybe A Conman from enemy. Misled And Confused him, if not Misfired And Conquered him… UNDERSTAND!” the commander shouted at his group of man just back for in camp training.

“YES Sir” replied all the Man who were feeling so tired after the morning assault. Suddenly, at fat recruit screamed, “Sir, what is the reward for catching an intruder?” The rest of the Man were shocked for this fat recruit is the slackest of the slackest. Hmm, the commander paused for a while and replied, “A MAC for anyone who catches an enemy… And for you fat recruit, you get an additional MAC for asking. Man, Any Concern?” There was no reply, and the company dismissed for their local protection.

In the mid of the cold night, the fat recruit saw a silhouette approaching his vehicle and started to get excited. “Man, my burger is coming! Hehe…” a strange looking smile appeared on his face. Next, he shouted, “Man, hold your position, rifle up… Password?” He repeated that 3 times. The man never stopped and continued. “I say, Password!!!! Or else I may BANG MAC you”, exclaimed the fat recruit who is starting to feel anxious and cannot control his speech. At this moment, his fear for safety had overpowered the fear of hunger, immobilizing the pathetic man. He reached for this rifle, and shouted “BANG MAC BANG!” The first pull at the trigger was unfortunately a disaster; the rifle IA*. “Man, Always Cockup! Die liaoz” Sure enough, the intruder Masked And Controlled the fat recruit, bringing him down in less than a minute. He whispered some alien language; the fat recruit suddenly felt something hitting his shoulder….

“Hey Sir, your MAC order is here… Stop dreaming!” Oh paiseh paiseh, I rubbed the saliva off my mouth, seeing the waitress laughing uncontrollably. “What a disgrace!” I thought secretly. I turn to my bag and realized something is missing, “DAMN it, who took my MAC book!!!!”

Mission Armor Crawl (MAC)

MAC MAC MAC, I will be in the army for 3 weeks.
This blog will continue after 25^th August 2009 (anyone giving me a MAC treat after ICT? )

Is there a Reason to have a Reason?

Some cannot be explained.
Some do not need an explanation.
Some are better left unexplained.

No reason is also a reason.

Why do I draw like this? No idea...

Right amount of comparison creates competition.
Too much of it creates concern.
