Have it ever crossed your mind how come the west as 12 zodiac signs and so is the east? Why would the numbered be the same? Why not one more then the other or less? I always have these questions but no answer. Beside that, are we bound by the fact that when we’re born under the stars, that would be our characters. Wouldn’t it be different? Besides that, do you believe in all these astrology when it comes to your personal life? Do you believe in astrology to help when your life is in trouble just like the Chinese with their Feng Shui? I guess a person believes in anything when their lives are shaken up. Beliefs are just a way to ground you with assurance in life. I wonder do you agree with me on that matter or not. Everybody believes in something, some only in himself/herself that is also believing in something.

Though I’ve known you not that long, in actual fact not more than a year, but somehow, somewhere our lives intertwine and became best of friends. This is no coincidence but by fate. In just less than a year we have grown from stranger to buddies, keep each other accountable though we stay apart.
Such bonding of friends is hard to find,
And it’s never easy to come along.
I’m grateful somehow that we intertwine,
And hope our friendship will move beyond.
There is just a little gift from Phirence and I, hope you like it!
Wishing you best of health and find someone to share your abundance life with!!!!
Miss You!!!!
There are a lot of times when people approaches you, and you don’t know how to say NO! Is it saying NO that hard? You can say NO to stranger but why can’t you say NO to relatives and friends? Some classic case, they don’t even know how to say NO to stranger.When you say the big NO, and the people don’t like it, it is really their problems as they don’t respect your decision to say NO. When I think if someone doesn’t respect me, why should I respect them instead either. At times by just saying NO saves you a lot of troubles. It may be hard at times but after awhile on exercising the word NO, it will just come naturally to say NO when you don’t feel like doing it.
When a stranger asks you for money, you can say NO. Simply because I don’t know him/her and I will not get back my money. When someone asked for your number, you can say NO. If you don’t want to be friends with that person, why give away your number, are you seeking for trouble? What came to your mind instantly is always the right answer to all the questions. When you doubt, that were trouble comes knocking on you door. Try to learn to stay NO!
Repeat after me N O = NO
Yes, very good!
Keep practicing till you perfected it.
Have you ever come across great actors and actresses in your life? Julia Roberts, I do come across a few here and there at any point of my life. And they flock together in order to give you good show. I did once view the greatest show ever with a really good bunch of actors and actresses. At some part of your life ups and downs will hit you hard. Somehow it hit me hard when I was being the outcast not knowing what the hell is happening. And this is how the story goes.
I found out my “friends” were having some gather at one of their premises and I was not invited. Well since I’m the outcast, why should I be invited? So I played along and find out how good are these “friends” were. To my surprise, they were damn good and even the new recruit were good as well. I asked one of them what are they doing after work? Some say meeting friends, some say meeting relatives, totally fine with me. One was tell me she would actually goes to one of the shopping mall. So I make a date with my colleague to that shopping mall to act as well. So I called her up and say, “Hey, since I’m here why don’t we meet up?” To my surprise she said, “Oh, my friend changed the venue” not too bad. Accepted the excused, so I played along and started calling the rest of them. None of them answer their calls. Why? Because there were jolly having fun in and out of the pool. They did call me back after some hours and say they left the mobile phone in cars and in the handbag couldn’t here. They planned they story well, it’s just that I’ve already know the whole plot. If not I would have been fooled. By the next they, they still could pretend as nothing has happen.
This is what I called a bunch of Oscar nominees working together for a great show. I do believe some point in your life, you are either the viewer or the actors. But always remember, try to make your show as flawless as possible. Mend your show ASAP when things go wrong. Then you would probably the Oscar winner. If not you would end up to be in the worst actors list.
It’s been 24 hours and miracle didn’t happen.
One peaceful night when I reached home after my outing with my friends, I heard a soft meow meow meow keep following me, wherever I go. At that moment I knew I can’t shake it off and have to bring the small little kitten back home. Since I’ve this beautiful yellow bin which have never been use, and put a towel inside n put the kitten there to sleep for the night so that she won’t run around and get lost.
Ever since then, we’ve been feeding this kitten as ours. As a kitten, she already very attached to us. Somehow she knows and recognizes us and never seems stop entertain us with her nonchalant character running around my garden and playing with out cats that we usually feed. Whenever I’m off somewhere, I keep thinking of the kitten, will she live long enough to have her own kittens and always worry that she might go missing or get killed.
I guess the phrase “Curiosity Kills the Cat” finally taking affect. She is no where to be found just like how she came, out of no where. I miss her, my Meow Meow has gone don’t know where, dead or alive nobody knows. Deep in my heart I wish she would appear when I wake up everyday or whenever I reach home she is sitting on the stair faithfully waiting for me and greet me by brushing he soft fir against my legs.
Hope she is fine and lived.
O beautiful decorative knots,
Please untangle yourself can or not?
I’ve been choked by the tight knots,
And blinded my visions and thoughts.
O beautiful hands that tight the knots.
Please release me from the unwanted thoughts.
You have created such beautiful betrayal knots.
That destroys the blissful friendship we’ve got.
~kenong~
They come, they go,
They leave you cold,
To your spinal bone,
Blow after blow,
What is coming, you don’t know.
Where are you my sunny day?
The warmth you have given,
Has been long blown away.
~kenong~
Rain keeps falling, Flower never seems to bloom.
Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. - Aristotle
But it seems like one body is betraying the other.
I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world - Thomas A. Edison
But would your friends think the same?
The only way to have a friend is to be one. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
But it seems like one has become two
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
So stupid until they step you all over.
Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lost a chance to make them – Francesco Guicciardini.
Make but then broken.
Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have special face for each friend. – Oliver Wendell Holmes.
So special that it betrays you.
When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it. - Edward W. Howe
The damage has been done by your friend, what your friend can do about it?
Once upon a time, this petit girl call May finally came out to work in this concrete jungle. After many years of working she finally found someone that she likes but he was attached. They became best of friends. One fine day she found out he broke off with his girlfriend and she thought finally the chance has come but then she would give some time for the guy to heal as he just broke off with the girlfriend. As she was comforting her, she brings a long her friend to go out together, the more the merrier but in the end he fell in love with her best friend.That was history and she moved on with her life and move to another company. In there again she found someone she likes. They got very close and she thought she would express her love her him before it is too late like the previous case. And she did and got rejected miserably. And now she is confused, if she ever finds the one she love will she keep it to herself and be close friend to him and never be lover or just express her love for him and get rejected ended up not even friend.
Again she moved on to the next phase of her life not thinking about love. As she knows she has no luck in love and even fortune teller told her that in his vision he couldn’t see any love life. As she already accepted it know what she has gone through. But again who would want to be alone? And begin her search for love, of course it’s easy to fall in love with someone but it’s never an easy task for someone to fall in love with you, it takes two hands to clap.
But again history repeats by itself, as she has a lot of beautiful friends. Every time she would bring someone out that she likes ended up the person she likes would fall for her close friend and not her. She is in dilemma that one is her good friend and the other is the person she loved. Though her good friend says no and already has someone in her heart but yet the guy would actually already drop the idea of going after her but instead her good friend.
When would May find her love? Probably never, as she already given up on love as love has given up on her. I’ve no way of consulting her as time and again, things happen right before her eyes and by all means I’m no Dr. Love. All I can do is to wish her all the best.
Well, it’s obvious that would be the equation (Energy = mass x velocity) and I’m definitely not talking about Mariah Carey’s latest album E=mc² (Emancipation of Mimi = Mariah Carey X 2). Our daily lives involve energy, and the main source of energy comes from the Sun.Albert Einstein is perhaps the most famous scientist of this century. One of his most well-known accomplishments is the formula E=mc². I’m not some scientist or doctor but just a layman who knows basically nothing complicated like that equation. I rather not think so much as I’ve already have my own things to stress out with. The only think I could think of my source of energy don’t come from the sun but the cold hard cash I bring in.
In this dog eat dog world survival of the fittest is the most important thing. And it seems like money is everything to some people. With money it seems like the world is yours and the energy it emits are even greater than the sun. But I don’t worship money and I don’t think money is everything, it is the source of energy for me to wanting to work more if not we will just be a potato couch and wait for money to grow on tree. We just need some motivation to work that’s all, the force that drives me to work.
I’m not Al Gore and I’m not talking about an inconvenient truth the crisis of global warming. But will definitely touch on that topic soon enough. What I’m going to talk about it’s about our career path. Since now I’m lecturing, I’ve students that are so naïve and came to me and ask how much I was getting paid as an Interior Designer?That was in fact a very good question to ask, but not when you are already studying in interior designer. I would say it is a little bit too late as you are already one foot in the water. You should be asking the question much earlier before you actually enter any colleges. First of all ask yourself, when you come out to work is for the money or for the interest of your job? Please differentiate it well, once you can answer this question, the rest is as easy as ABC, 123 or even Do Re Mi.
Just an answer that most of my interior designer friends and I agree on. In this interior design field, it is nothing like the corporate world you see on TV or newspaper. There is no corporate leader to climb. It’s a very simple structure organization, junior, senior and the boss, that is all. In either level, be it you are the junior or the senior you will get the shits from your boss. Salary wise is not that attractive as well comparing to other professions. Fresh graduate interior designer gets about RM1000 to RM1200 if you are lucky. Fresh graduate accountant gets about RM1800 to RM2000 or even more. Interior designers get their pay raised very slowly comparing to other profession as well. No matter how big the project you handle, you still get the same pay, no extra no commission. And bonus depends on how good you can actually lick your boss ass, it is totally not professional compare to other profession.
If you are those who are willing to die for art, then art is your bowl of rice. If not, find a job that pays and once you get the money, then only get in touched with your artistic side. If you are in for the money, you’re not in the right profession unless you are the boss. Or totally not know what your friends are getting paid for in other profession. If you not you will get heartache and eventually fall into depression. If might be that serious! Sorry people for the inconvenient truth, but that are the harsh reality of this so called “professional” job we are in.
Saw the an article in the newspaper about a man actually gambled until he has to give his life away because he lost his gamble to some football match that he has place his bets on. Before this, he also has his father paid of his debt over one million due to gambling as well. After such incident he wouldn’t even change his habits. Is gambling have such obsessive power over oneself?I wouldn’t deny that I gamble, I use to gamble almost every weekend with my friends, and accustom to gambling during Chinese New Year. I don’t know whether it’s in the Chinese blood or it’s just human greed to gamble for more money. Do you gamble for money or for the fun of getting along with your friends to catch up with each others life and bitch about others.
Besides that I wouldn’t gamble on something that I’ve no control over it. Gambling over a football match I think it’s totally silly in a sense that you’re totally putting for faith those players which you don’t know them personally. In other games like Mahjong or blackjack at least there is still some control over how you want to play your game.
The choice is always in your hands, you can always choose to stop when you think you’re losing, no point gamble until you gamble your life away. That’s totally not worth it, God gave you a life to live and not waste it on some silly game you have no control over it.
Since everything is moving forward but did it ever occurred in you mind that at time you rather go back to basic. Back in those childhood lives, where everything are much simpler and carefree. I don’t know about you, but I was born in a small town and I may not live there but I always go back to my small town during the holiday seasons.Spending most of my life in this concrete jungle does make one gets tired because you try to achieve as many things as possible in a day’s time. By the end of the day you will just wonder what have you been doing lately, what have been achieved? At times nothing has been done even so many things you thought you did. How contradicting but it’s true. After so many years of working you just wonder, why am I doing here? Where do I want to go from here? Have I worked enough for people?
One thing for sure is when I get old I’ll definitely find a relaxing place to stay, some place that is serene, peaceful and carefree life just like the olden days back in my childhood life. So what would you like to do when you’re old?

Human body is built with such complex details that made each and every single one of us is different. And yet humans’ body can be challenge to adapt themselves in almost every situation and environment.For instant, people who dive into the sea without oxygen tank to collect pearls, after years of diving, their lungs are actually bigger than normal human being lungs. Our body is actually slowly molded to the environment as we push ourselves to the limits. And where exactly is the limit? I’ve no idea as well. Every individual has different limits but I’m pretty sure after a lot of practice limit is the sky.
I think a very simple way to explain it is by using bodybuilder as an example. They lift weights as their profession, need to build that muscles and make it grows. How? By lifting more heavier than the previous time. Your body will receive the signal and tell your muscle to grow more so that it is able to carry heavier stuff. It is the same for the people who dive into the sea to collect pearls.
What I mention here are more physical, our brain can even store more than what you can imagine. But I don’t think our brain can grow bigger but it’s true if a human being have bigger brain he/she is really smarter. Amphicoelias has a brain that is as big as an apple only but the body is so big, that makes him one of the dumbest dinosaurs. Make full use of yourself since we’re so adaptable.
I’m writing regarding this topic again it is because I had a slight argument with my friend that, he said man getting pregnant were old stuff, base on the post on June 27, 2008. So I do some searching and digging, I found a man called Lee Mingwei in US. He is a real man not like Thomas Beatie, formerly a woman. Take a look at the video below and judge for yourself.After watching the video still I’m still not satisfied and I went to dig more about it and found a website “Pregnant Man: Real or Hoax?” In one paragraph it mentions “Curiously, the Web site has been up since 1999, and Mr. Lee is apparently still pregnant! Either the poor man has been in labor for nearly a decade (talk about a rough delivery!), or the story is a fake. Of course, Mr. Lee doesn't exist; the Web site is a hoax created as performance art by an artist named Virgil Wong.”
I did find another case was in
In October 2007, Dr. Oz introduced viewers to Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and father of three who was dying of pancreatic cancer. Dr. Randy Pausch is dying in just a few months time and he is giving his last lecture to his students and it’s a lecture of a lifetime. Giving his students one last lecture which has been downloaded more than a million times from the internet. Needless to say much just watch the video fr Oprah and learn from it.
Due to some request, I’ve kept this article from being published and I think I kept it long enough to be published after keeping it for a week.As I enter the my house, I’m surprise to see my parents at home as I thought they were back to hometown this morning to visit my aunty who’s not feeling well. And my dad just broke the news to me that my aunty just ‘migrated’. I’m pretty sure u know what is the meaning of migrate, to move from one country or place, and for our case, it is to move on to the next life.
This aunt is actually my mom’s eldest sister, she has a laugh like Lydia Sum and so is the size of her heart. In my memories of her has always been a very compassionate mother, she may talk loudly but with passion, she may grumble but with love. And she cooks the best sweet and sour salted fish fried eggs. I’m definitely going to miss her laugher that fills the room and the cooking aroma that fill the kitchen hallway.
Mdm. Chew Phaik See, age 72. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knows her for who she is. Have a pleasant journey to a new world
Is that too absurd, that a man could get pregnant like what you see in the movie called “Junior” back in 1994. I’m sure during then everybody was talking about and amaze by the thought of man getting pregnant. I just came across this article and was fascinated by it and find out more about it. There are people who tells me it is old story that this was few years back. But all i can dug up was this just less than a year old news.So I guess the technology is still not up to date yet, where a real man could be pregnant yet as you think he could. What would the society thinks, if man could get pregnant? Do people against it or supporting it?
Just as I thought, how far we have moved forward in technologies and something came along that makes me ponder we have not moved so far comparing to other countries. Just recently my friend came back from It seems like
Besides the magazine, I find that online shopping for music like iTunes,
I thought we have move far in technologies but I guess we are not comparing to other countries. Hopefully in time will change all these for a better future.
This is a topic that hardly people would talk about but I find it interesting. Have you ever come across stories about psychopathic killers besides the famous “Silence of the Lamb” & “Red Dragon”? I always wonder what exactly in these people thinking when they actually commit these crimes? If you ever search on these topics in the internet, probably you might just find a few in famous psychopathic serial killers. Just let me briefly talk about these infamous psychopath. Albert Fish born in 1870, devout Christian, married in 1898 and a father of six children. When the wife eloped in 1917, Fish’s perversions boiled to the surface and he began indulging in coprophilia, inserting alcohol soaked cotton wool balls into his anus and lighting them and getting his children to beat him bloody with a nail studded paddle while inserting needles into his genitals and I think I’m going to spare you the other details.
In respond to a article in 1928, he called himself as Frank Howard and convinces the Budds family to take the 12 year old Gracie to a local children’s party, and that was the lat time they saw of her. Six years later, in 1934, the family received a letter which read, in part:
“I took Gracie to an empty house in the country, I grabbed her and she said she would tell her mamma. First I stripped her naked. How she did kick, bite and scratch. I choked her to death, and then cut her into small pieces so I could take my mean to my rooms, cook it and eat it. How sweet and tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me nine days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her, though I could have. She died a virgin”
The letter was traced to Fish and police caught him. Fish was delighted to die in the chair, describing it as the “ultimate experience in pain”
This is just one story that I’m telling and there are many more of this kind of sick stories you could find in the internet and magazines. Sometimes you just wonder what is going on in these people mind. Or actually all of us are psychopath in some ways but it’s just being suppress deep inside us and locked away until someday, someone comes along to unlock it. Which I don't think anyone wants that to happen.
Just recently my friend came back from I see people begging for money in some parts of
It seems like she’s begging the money to be given to her son who beats the hell out of her if she couldn’t get enough money for the day. The son would actually take the money and goes to his favorite leisure place, Genting Highlands. That is so sad to have a son that beats the mom and ask her to beg for money, what has the world gone into. Even sometimes you see people begging for money, you will be thinking whether to give or not? What do they do with the money? Will they take the money to buy alcohol? Or drugs? Nobody knows. That time I wonder whether we actually help him/her or actually we have ruined their lives. Or they rather leave this what they think is a ugly world ASAP. But who are we to take ones life, right?
Loch Ness Monster and Big Foot, do you believe these famous creatures really do exist without seeing them yourself? Does any normal human being need to see first in order to believe? Some do and some don’t I guess, just like the religious people. They have not seen their gods, they don’t know their gods personally except for the teaching. And yet they believe the gods they prayed too unconditionally. They believe without seeing, it’s all purely by faith.So, how about you? Do you need to see first in order to believe? Sometimes what we see on TV may not be true. Just like any detergent that advertised on TV or print ads, it claims to remove all types of stain and you went and buy it. But in the end it is not what they claims to be. Den some you see in the shopping malls, they even do a live demonstration of their products just to convince the customers. Because it’s human nature to see then only believe.
But yet there are things that you see yet you still doubt yourself whether to believe or not because the things you see are too out of the ordinary world. Just like what David Blaine & David Copperfield did, it is way out of what a normal human being can do, after seeing you still doubting yourself whether to believe or not. Whether it’s real or just illusion? That I leave it up to individual to believe it or not.
Reality does bite and it’s so painful that one might not endure the pain. Just recently I’ve so many friends got bitten by reality. And they got affected by phantasmagoria thinking that the relationship still can be saved. Just put yourself in their shoes, when you already have another target, would you actually go back to your lover? You will tend to slowly moving out from his/her life and moving towards your new target and yet still keeping the old lover. Once everything is settled and secured. “Bye bye bye” that’s what he/she is going to tell you. The least he/she can do is by saying “We still can be friends” with a lovely smile on their angel like face as you see it.O! Come on, snap out of it! Once it’s over, it’s over never thought of turning back. Time and tide wait for no man, the time doesn’t move backwards but only forward. The world maybe a beautiful place, but not such a perfect picture after all. When one is high and mighty up on the throne, the harsh reality of life slowly slipping into their body and running through the veins. That is also depending on individual. You can always read them on the newspaper, that when one is famous, they’ll end their relationship with their lover. For whatever reasons it is, we don’t know as we’re just a normal human being without any status to our name.
So, girls and guys, if you’re dump by some celebrity or someone famous. Just forget about it and moved on. He/She can be so cold hearted and playing the game, why should you be the lab rat being tested and dissect for experiment and in the end the rubbish bin you go. The world can be a beautiful picture depending on how you see it. Take the right prescription and stop the pain that cause by harsh reality. Always remember once you have been cured, your body will have better immune system don’t let it break you down to pieces.
This is definitely a good way to stay neutral when you’re in a hostile situation. Besides that, it is also good practice when you are totally new to an environment that you are not familiar with. So that you wouldn’t get yourself into trouble by talking too much, always think before you talk and act. Study the whole situation first, if not, you might just get yourself in trouble.But once when you are there for a long time, like work place, these things are unavoidable. No matter what happens, news spread like virus. Before you can contain it, it is already out and seems like everybody knows about it. Unless you are totally see, hear and speak no evil. Then you are in a shell of your own. At times I do think it is a good thing. One thing for sure, good news never leaves home, bad news travel miles. That is for sure.
It is natural when you see and hear so much, you will tend to say it out. Whenever there is input, there must be output, it’s the law. We can’t change the fact. So in order not to see, hear and speak no evil, stay away from these people but how long can you stay away? People will say you are anti-social. So it’s a choice we will have to make, to join or not to join as part of them. But it’s natural we will join, my only advise those who keep his lips are wise.
After so many years living on the beautiful planet called Earth, would categories three major type of people:-Someone who sits there and hope nothing will happen.
Someone who sits there and hope something will happen.
Someone who makes things happen.
So, back to the question, which category do you fall into or it is little here and there? Depending situations as well, but one you’re in that category most likely you’ll be like that, as it is already in you to be like tat. Unless you make the change yourself, if not you’ll be in the same category for the rest of your life.
What is love? Why is love so powerful? In a lot of movies we see, love seems to conquer everything. In 10,000 B.C. (Before Christ) the movie, a man can travel through the highest mountains and deepest valley to have the one he loves. And in the recent Incredible Hulk the movie, he can do anything to protect the ones he loved. Not just this, in Four Brothers the movie, they come together to avenge their mother who got killed by robbers, because they love their mother. In Kung Fu Panda the movie, he can do anything because he loved food. So are just a few example that how powerful love can be.And in the Christian context, love is actually divided into basically four types of love:-
Agape – this is basically selfless and charitable kind of love
Phileo – are the brotherly or sisterly love
Storge – love between the parents and children
Eros – the names says it all, the sexual love
And in Ancient Greek context love is divided into five. Four of them are exactly the same as the above. Just this additional one:-
And do you know love is divided into so many categories? Same may know and some may not know and I got to know when I’m in my teens. Even there are so many songs is about love, be it in love or break ups. How interesting can love be? It seems like everything centered around it and evolve around it as well. It’s definitely the most powerful weapon one could have.
Love is kind,
Love is wise.
But love can make you blind,
And leave you cold as ice.
Recently there is this insane man lingering around the neighborhood, talking to himself. Have you ever thought where exactly these people come from? They come and go without a trace. Surrounding these people are very interesting stories, and you’ll never know which one is the answer and you tend to mix and match the stories and become a story of your own.I’ve always wonder what is going on in their mind? What triggers them to become what they are now? Are they really insane or they’re just hiding themselves from the harsh reality of this world. Been hurt by loved ones? Been cheated by close friend? Been betrayed by family? Nobody just go insane without a reason, everybody do things for a reason. Whether the reasons are in good intention or bad but still there is a reason.
If one could be in such state of insanity, I think it is very serious damage that has been done upon oneself. And I do believe everybody has a level of insanity in them and what could actually trigger it? Nobody knows, accept for God and yourself.
