小孩的世界里快乐可以很简单
我的世界里简单是件快乐的事
〖周杰伦演唱会在大荧幕上出现的字〗
Give this some thought...
How do you feel?
About this time when we all are so busy and frustrated, i believe the phase just bring about a whole new meaning...
nourish itself with the beauty nature provides... overcome adversities that earth put forth... shelters the tired souls with the careless whispers of melodious chimes this good earth provides...

如果可以…
手里提着两杯热咖啡，
一步一步就是回家的感觉…
速度、鲁莽、挑逗的路灯，
一个顽强的冷血机器…
我的咖啡洒满路地，
呼吸的权力竟是奢侈的回忆…
我用力求情但谁给予…
今天不会用钥匙打开熟悉的门，
熟悉得脸孔失去被复习的机会，
享受回家温暖的气息，
好像是好久以前的回忆，
后悔没急已经不能挽回撕裂的日历，
如果可以…
生命的拔河，我没了力气…
哽咽…窒息…呼……
As sad as this post may seems to be, it is really a reflection of the way we may have choosen to live the lives we hold on to. We have taken the very act of returning home safely for granted. It has become more of a suppose to happen things in our life that we have forgotten how to enjoy the very essence of returning home and enjoying the enjoyable stuffs the house may bring... Be it your pillow, your computer, your favourite blanket, your pictures, that all warm your hearts and lets be thnakful if we can go home to see them every day...
To illutrate my point even further, i made a analogy between the warmth of the house and the breath we all take!
The most taken for granted thing in life is actually the ability to be able to breath. It has been with us right smack from when we burst out of our mums' womb nad will follow till we drop death. But think about it... Have you ever been thankful about the fact that you can breath well and good? Maybe when you go swimming or have ever experience the effects of the lack of air on your body will you appreciate it well...The ability to respire is the most undermined ability that was given to us as we all push your focus towards the ability to see and touch and hear... Learn to appreciate the beauty of the breath and its in this appreciation you may find the meaning of this life you breath through...

Dialogue
In the response to Valium lastest message, i have decided to post this letter as any good reply to the comment will be very limited by the amount of characters the tag board can take...
Valium: "a good attitude doesn't really need another catalyst to cultivate.. ourselves r good enuff to be one.." From the very contextual meaning that i derived from reading the message is this. That a good attitude is very much dependent on ourselves and only ourselves. Are you really that absolute about things? Do you want to reconsider your position? Do you mean that you need no teachers to tell you cheating is bad and you wont cheat? Or your Mum to tell you stealing is no good before you wont steal? You can know what is the right attitude without any outside influence as in this case the catalyst... Are you saying that we already know what is right from wrong the very moment that we are born to this earth?
If so you may have share Plato’s view in one of his dialogues “THE MENO”… In it, he conducted an experiment with a boy to prove to Meno that everything in the past lives are memories to be recollected. Plato believes that we all carry with us the memories of the past lives and we only have to trigger an interest before we can remember it. In this very case you may have meant that! That being, you already know how to do the seemingly upright things even as a child. (Read Meno By Plato Written 380 B.C.E Translated by Benjamin Jowett) http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/meno.html If you are reading it, please let me know so I can pin point the important extract for you… its really a long dialogue.
But as a rebuttal to the above, I would like to say that it is really very difficult for me to fathom sperms and ovaries having to combine themselves and then bring with it memories of past lives. DNA? They are genetic codes that governs the appearance and abilities of the person from the parents. They are not memories and definitely not catalyst telling people to do good or adopt the right attitude?
Have you ever heard of the Chinese phase: “当局者迷,旁观者清【dāngjúzhěmí,pángguānzhěqīng】 the spectators see the chess game better than the payers; the onlooker sees most of the game ”
Havent it been the case for us whereby we always looked back in our life and thought about how we could actually make better decisions. At the point of time, we all think we are doing the right thing and even if people tell us that we are in fact indulging in the wrongs, we persist in it. How ignorant!? Finally someday we relent, but that of course comes with a price… So you see when we are in the game, we tend to lose yourselves in it… other people will see things at a better point of view… This other people in the particular post will have to mean, Religion, friends, Mum, teachers, etc. These are the very essential catalyst that will have to be around us guiding us to lead a socially acceptable life and cultivates a socially acceptable attitude.
When these catalyst is around, then it becomes your responsibility to decide if we want it or want to escape from it… That I think is your point! We have the catalysts and I think it definitely is essential, then the rest will be up to us…

Place in YOur heart
Hey there!! This post should have actully been produced in the very early morning. Got the inspiration while having my morning bath but took me till this very moment in this sunday night to produce this... haha...the minister is singing the song <朋友> now... i must really admire his courage... hmm.. the next post will seems a little out of place with this intro. but what the heck..its my blog... So here it goes...
Throughout this many years whereby i have develop a stronger interest and a closer contact with the topic of religion, i have notice a very disturbing trend. It is not about the religion itself but more on the people revolving it. Very often with religion, we will often linked that particular religion to the actions of the person. Say if he is a pious person, and he acted in a vulgar or unruly manner, we will began to question the impact of the religion on this person. We questioned the very essence of his religion and puts doubt onto religion itself. I believed this is not right. This is unhealthy.
Cases of so called religious people behaving in the unruly manner are not just a few black sheeps. They are ominpresent, everywhere. Or ishould say "we".Why i do i think we behave differently sometimes? Why do we act out of the way the very religion taught us how to? I shall begin my defence..haha...they are just excuses for the "crimes" i commited! See if you share my thought.
When i go for the religious classes or got to 四马路 to offer 3 sticks of incense, what they give me is a very calming and relax feeling(maybe its the incense smell, but i just like those feeling of peace). I wont even think of wanting to scold an old auntie,do anything bad the very moment i step out. Those moment that i still have a place for the Gods or Religion, i will not do bad. But hey, here comes the twist!!
How about many moments later? You just cleanly forget about all the teachings and wack all the vulgar languages known to any human being or do all the unruly things deemed bad by the very religion you hold close to heart. You have forgotten to Put The God In Your Heart (“酒肉传肠过，佛祖心中留” Alan told me this once) This I believe is what Buddah wants me to hold close to. When i want to do bad, think of him and i think twice. Did i manage? not easy! Impossible? Not really! However i find it a pity when people treat this as an excuse for eating all the meat and point fingers at the vegetarian laughing at the vegans' ingnorance. We dont really intend to want to convert you! And the very meaning behind being vegetarian was more an act of compassion to all animals rather than being "noble" or "weird". Hey! Eating dogs and chicken is essentially
the same! Why do some think to eat dogs is cruel? I do not know? If you were to see the head of the chicken you are eating, try look into its eyes, bet it will paint a different picture for your hungry stomach.
Wah piang... only into the little bits already so much on the blog liao... ok...share my thoughts next time man...hey! If you wanna good meal... please dont look at the chicken hanging on the showcase of xx鸡饭
...hahaha... only spoils your appetite... Cheers..
Oh yes! forgot to explain the meaning of the 酒肉... i think they meant experiences(good or bad), wealth, name and all the tangible items we all wanna lay our hands on to feed the growing desire/ lust /greed.
Ok... it has been a long read! Go and rest!!!
