'The Man in the Storm'

This is the wonderful story i would love to share with you guys, its pretty short but darn meaningful =] Hope u guys learn at least something from it =p

"A man seeks employment on a farm. He hands his letter of recommendation to his new employer. It reads simply 'He sleeps in a storm.'
"The owner is desperate for help, he had no choice, so he hires the man.
"Several weeks pass, and suddenly, in the middle of the night, a powerful storm rips through the valley.
"Awakened by the swirling rain and howling wind, the owner leaps out of bed. He calls for his new hired hand, but the man is sleeping soundly.
"So he dashes off to the barn. He sees, to his amazement, that the animals are secure with plenty of feed.
"He runs out to the field. He sees the bales of wheat have been bound and are wrapped in tarpaulins.
"He races to the silo. The doors are latched, and the grain is dry.
"And then he understands. 'He sleeps in a storm.'
"My friends, if we tend to the things that are important in life, if we are right with those we love and behave in line with our faith, our lives will not be cursed with the aching throb of unfulfilled business. Our words will always be sincere, our embraces will be tight. We will never wallow in the agony of 'I Could have, I Should have.' We can sleep in a storm.
"And when it's time, our good-byes will be complete."

Life After You

Guess Its been really long since i last updated my blog =[ I will still like to thank those who still visit and read my blog. Every time i visit my own blog, i saw the counter rises, i know there are still people who are willing to read this ever though the author(yours sincerely) is not so consistent when it comes to writing on his blog.

Anyway im feel like doing a double post today. the first one is a summary bout this year, the second one is about a story call 'The Man in the Storm'.

Here goes the first one....

2009 been a great year! i still remember the very first day i walked in to my new campus, lost and unsure of the future, a total new environment, feeling damn insecure. Then i get to meet new people who share similar passions and had a great time with them, people who are willing to strive forward despite of what they facing.

Sometimes i really envy their courage, they are just so strong! They're like a mouse living in the urban city, disgusted and chased by human, but still living stronger everyday, nothing can kill them. They made me laugh, encourage me to love, and tell me not to give up.

Thanks to uncle Ben, he bought me Chase, the golden retriever somewhere on March. He bite all my wires, my trees in the garden, he even ruined Pete's wallet and chew his 2 50 dollar notes! Such a curious and mischievous and naughty dog. The times when we went for training on Sunday morning, he as usual, wasnt the most obedient dog in the class, he made me look like a clown. Although i was slacking to spent much time to accompany him, he is still the most happy person(dog) to see me when i came back everyday.

Very soon, all of us are going for our internship for 6 months. Going to be another 6 months not seeing everyone. Thanks for all this while and hope you guys enjoy your internship. See u guys in the july intake by the lake side campus!

Guess i'll stop here, im running outta words to write and i dowan to bore you guys with arrows of words, hope all of you have a great time as well... Till then

My new baby

Booked myself an Iphone 3Gs yesterday, cant wait to collect it on the 2nd next week!

Cheers~

The budding head

This, I guess is another come back from a very long time of MIA, my blog's been dead several times and revived and being dead again, i guess there is nothing really special and worth mentioning events, anyway, before i proceed i would really like to thank those people that still visit my blog.

If you get the chance to see me, you'll know I've shaved my head and Ive never had a haircut like this or anywhere near this, and i never really tried something this 'adventurous' before too. It was a bet with the boys in class while more like a chain reaction, one after another going 'botaks'

And finally a very old and close friend of mine left for Switzerland today, I'm sure many of you are able to guess who's that already(so smart!). She got back from London more than a month ago, and we again started to talk a little. Can't really explain this calm and tingling feeling after talking 2 her everytime. Time seriously flies, Shes probably in the airport now, leaving to Swiss tonight..

But anyway, Im not going to say anything that make her feel bad, I know her very well. Even if i still have feelings for her, all i can do is like what they say, "you love that person, you let them do what they enjoy." All i hope is that she can enjoy this coming term, i bet she misses her friends in Swiss, be happy a little and dont think too much about everything cause 'Boat reach tier, it will align automatically', in another word which is when life reaches that precise stage, it will fall into pieces automatically without worries. So seriously dear, dont worry so much =)

I just want to see her happy, have fun and smile again, cause the most flattering moments I remembered are when she smiles.

To be honest, I cant seem to really understand why do I still miss her, even though what happen was already 2 years ago but anyway, now is also not the right time to reminisce past events. Every scar has its own memories. Its really hard to say what im feeling now but im sure as time goes by, i will feel better, there is nothing time cant erase. All i can do now is lay my hands on God, and let him lead the way.

Anyway enough bout all this, I'll try and update my blog more frequently. Thanks to my mum and all my friends that wont stop being there when I need them and also Thanks to those who are still reading my blog...

Recently

Im officially the laziest blogger ever to exist...

My last post was somewhere around December, it was before Christmas.

First thing first, a little update on my current situation. Things are going quite well for me now. I'm finally in term 2 right now. Meet several new people that share the same topics and passions with me. Could go on talking and talking for hours non-stop now =)

The busy but fun uni life I have been long waited has been granted, it aint something i could get back then in Twintech, everyday seems like just another day...

Back then i still remember that many thing seems like impossible,
I also remember the days that dreams are only meant to be in dreams,
I'm happy for being where I am right now...

Oh btw, some of your already know i bought a Golden Retriever!! I always wanted a golden=) I named his Chase, hes around 9 months now, and hes still abit too naughty. Bit all my tissue rolls and even my magazines! I'll upload some pictures of him few post later.

Once again, gotta get some sleep, to people who still read my blog, thank you!

The mood for Christmas

Hello everyone, once again, im back to the one-month-one-post again...

To a certain extend i really think of closing this blog, cause i usually dont spend time with it anymore, and i dont really feel the mood to blog like I used to. but i just cant let it go like that, it has too much memories that is still worth to linger on to...

Anyways, Christmas is around the corner. Shopping malls were decorated with christmas stuff and trees and christmas songs. Oh god, it just feels so calm and warmth and relax when Christmas is around.

I once thought of celebrating Christmas in a country that has real snow just make the whole Christmas perfect. During the night of Christmas, families stayed at home next to the warm fireplace and feast on a great meal, man its just like in the TVs.

While I will still be in Malaysia for a while, might as well enjoy the rain for Christmas instead of snow first =)

What have u guys been doing lately?

For me, Im finally gonna enroll myself in the hospitality degree this coming january, the happy thing is that i get to do what I've wanted to do, the sad thing is that skol is going to start so soon, it means end of my rotting days at home...

Well not exactly complaining since I've been fighting real hard to get into this course, its a little late, i will be 22 in 09 but I guess by looking at the bright side, I still get to do what i wanted to do, so yay! Anyway, thanks to mum for agreeing to support me in this course...

I just cant believe Im finally here now, Life is like finally starting to fall into pieces slowly...

except for one thing... I promise I'll talk about it the next time i blog..

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas in advance in case i'm not available till after Christmas.

Later guys...

The Duck with a Human Mind

As i was reading i came across this very interesting and meaningful passage from the book 'The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle' i must share with you guys, here goes...

I mentioned that after two ducks get into a fight, which never last long, they will spearate and float off in opposite directions. Then each duck will flap its wings vigorously a few times, thus releasing the surplus energy that built up during the fight. After they flap their wings, they float on peacefully, as if nothing has ever happened..

'IF' the duck had a human mind, it would keep the fight alive by thinking, by story-making. This would probably be the duck's story: "I don't believe what he just did. He came to within five inches of me. He thinks he owns this pond? He has no consideration for my private space. I'll never trust him again. Next time he'll try something else just to annoy me. Im sure he's plotting something already. But I'm not going to stand for this. I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget." And on and on the mind spins its tales, still thinking and talking about it days, months, and years later. As far as the body is concerned, the fight is still continuing, and the energy it generates in response to all those thoughts is emotion, which in turn generates more thinking. This becomes the emotional thinking of the ego. You can seee how problematic the duck's life would become if it had a human mind. But this is how most humans live all the time. No situation or event is ever really finished. The mind and the mind-made "me and my story" keep it going.

We are a species that has lost its way. Everything natural, every flower or tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we could only Stop, Look, and Listen. Our duck's lession is this: Flap your wings - Which translates as "let go of the story" and return to peace..

So think about it, why do we always have these obsessive thinking?

Is it even healthy to resent someone?
