A little story to reflect upon...?

"Why We Shout In Anger"
A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled and asked.
'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout.'
'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.' asked the saint
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.
Finally the saint explained, .
'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.
What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small...'
The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'
He looked at his disciples and said.
'So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.'

What's next in life...?
Mar. 21st, 2012 | 08:14 pm
What are your future plans? What do you plan to do after poly? Going uni anot? Yeap, these are the few qns I get nowadays. My friend just asked me again on twitter. And so I decided I should talk about it. Now that I'm hitting my big 21, its about time I give the matters and options in life a serious thought. Not that I haven't thought about what I want in life, but I meant serious thoughts and give some realistic touches to it.
At age 5, I was asked what I wanna be when I grow up. Proud at my answer, I said "A FATHER!". It was silly but I couldn't think of anything else to be when I'm older. All I thought was I should become a father and that would be my job.
At age 12 when I graduated from primary school, I am faced with this qns yet again. I need to choose a secondary school which could propel me to another stage in life, where I needed to focus my studies on and mature as I go along. Sad to say, I wasn't in the very least matured at all. A doctor, a lawyer, a policeman or even as ridiculous as a singer, would be my dream occupation when I grow up.
I would have easily guessed your choices at this same age because that's what we thought it would be easy to achieve.
At age 16 when I graduated from secondary school, the qns hit me once again. And I knew it had to be an important decision because this would be the time when I truly embark on the journey and fulfilling my dreams. I wanted to be a chef. To be truthful, I've considered Shatec as my next education check point. I was also interested in business management and the likes of it. But I ended up in getting my ass in an uniform once again, MI.
At age 18 when I decide to leave MI because I didn't want to be a retainee there, I have silently thought of my own plans. What do I really want to be in the future? People grow wiser as they age, but that doesn't seem to be my case at all. I am still stupid. I am confused by all the people around me. Some would tell me they are gonna be businessman, some of them trying to be lawyers, chemist, psychologist, and some are like me, still lost at the thought of "What are your future plans?". I'm totally lost in life. And once again, I put my own ass in another education check point that I would say I'm not very interested in actually. I'm in ngee ann Real Estate Business.
Now I'm 21. People around my age are already halfway through army or they have already left the service. I'm not even done with my tertiary education yet! By the time I leave the army, I would be around 23? Let's just say I will be going to uni and getting my degree, I will be 25? I would be entering the workforce at age 25. Prolly many others at this age have gotten their first million dollars.
Before I lament at my own pathetic life further, I wanna tell you this, I have come to an almost-serious-and-finalised decision to what are my future plans. 1, its either I sign on with the army (which I can only decide if I'm given a good posting) or 2, I set up my own f&b business with my siblings. If my siblings do not share the same notion as me, I will do it myself and bring back my grandfather's coffee house along the way as I work. That's my plan. Uni wise, maybe? Nobody knows what the future holds but I believe the future is ours to shape and determine.

Thai Disco?
Mar. 18th, 2012 | 02:51 am
Made my virgin trip to a thai disco at golden mile. If I'm not wrong, the name of the disco should be "Pure", check it out if you guys are feeling the heat for partying the night away. Entry is free and there is a stage in there for catwalk, modelling, singing and prolly some dancing. Of cos its not the party goers who are dancing away, its those thai girls. Gosh, some of them really look so pretty, plus they don't even look like thailander. They call thailand people thailander? Or what? Its near 3am and I cant be bothered to think...
Had singha tower with my cuz, and yeah, its a meet up since we didnt see each other for quite some time. I guess around 2 years? Yeah, maybe around that timing cos he was in army and I'm in poly..
Experience of this trip? Well, not too bad I'd say. It was really an eye opener and I managed to see and feel how it feels like to have girls thrown themselves at you.. UGHHHHH THE FEELING DAMN AWKWARD AND I THINK ITS GONNA BE THE LAST TIME I GO TO THESE KIND OF PLACES. I think girls should have some control and not just throw themselves at any guys they see... All the hugging and touching, no please. Maybe I'm possessed by this traditional mindset and I just cant shake it off. Hahaha, alright bye!

Feeling...
Mar. 15th, 2012 | 06:53 pm
Hooyeahbaby! I feel gym sessions are getting better and better... Not training my stamina yet, but rather I'm gonna focus on gaining weight and muscles (?). Sound kinda weird to be seeing me say I want to gain muscles and stuff yeah? Gonna try finishing up my protein shake cos it taste damn awkward for me. Ewww. But nonetheless, I'm forcing it down my throat!
