A sign of relief

After so many processed thoughts, i am glad to find that i still have someone who has the same frequency as me...

Sometimes, i wonder how often than not, do we get to meet people after years (or maybe not that long lar) of non-contact, we still manage to share stuff and update each other??

I am quite lucky to say...

Singtel or Starhub, Broadband sucks?

Then in the first place, why bite more than one can chew...

Now we are facing efficiencies of services

Perhaps the recommended way of solving this problem is to create another service which LIMITs the number of users into their broadband such that they are able to enjoy the real services that the company is offering..

Any intakers for the project... I bet you will earn much more than singtel or starhub... lol...

Metrosexual

Metrosexual? Unlikely..

Food for thoughts..

Come Across this on FaceBook

Maybe i should share...

And even now as I type and attempt to compose my feeble disorganized thought into some form of a coherent sequence of the written word, I am continuing to discover things about myself faster than I can write them down, struggling to keep up with fleeting images and trying to figure out the significance they bear with my life.

There is only such a thin line between productive self-discovery and a mere, worthless dis-assembly of meaninglessly random prose.

Stress..

It is funny to see how people can be so stressed about certain stuff, when the advice that is given is to take in a deep breath, clear your head and go to sleep..

The point i want to make is, sometimes, the simplest thing is always out of our sight... for no apparent reason...

Influence

How much influence is good??

Until their values are being at stake?

Many a theory, most hypothesis, none works for all

The best and the most important one that i learn, always sit on the fence if it does not apply to you... Though no matter how much you wish to help, the outcome is never pleasant.. As you are implying your thoughts to that situation and wishes it to happen the same way that you want it to happen..

So for a peaceful solution to that helpful attribute of yours, learn to give generic comments and try not to side any parties... Afterall, the only fault that is directed is always towards ALL of the involved party... This is the way to a peaceful mind... Hopefully..

Tutoring....

Finally, i am able to understand the phrase 'the passion and drive of young teachers'..

It really encourages me when a tutee wishes to extend or have more lessons with me...

It causes me to go the extra mile for them, even though at times, i am reluctant to do so... However, i find it worthwhile..

However, though, this means that there will be more stress for me... And at the very least, I am able to take it...






P.S. The recent posts made last few days are all random thoughts that had occurred which i wished to pen it down...

Matured??

Most often say, at the age of 21, people are ready for the world...

They have never ask themselves, whether their thoughts have been matured? or rather, have their perceived maturity give them false representations of the true self of who they actually were??

I read in a book that says, when we were at young age, we tend to be very impulsive in decision making and as a result, we usually get a second chance due to protection from the ones who care for you... However, as we age, we usually do not get the 'second chance'. And because of it, we tend to do and make decisions slowly, fearing that it would be a bad one... Responsibility comes...

These are the arts of aging... Fascinating??

Limits....

Sometimes, i can't help to think whether one is pushing his limits to a certain extent....

My limit is simple...

Gather everyone, organise aa simple meal, explain the rationale of this 'free' meal to them and tell them what i feel..

Seriously hope that one day, this will not come... However, i see the situation now... It is nearing...

Goal....

What is your goal in life??

If you have any answer to it, Think harder

For there is no answer to it

And the goal is to die...

Comparision?

Why bother? because in the end, it will still end up to be nothing...

Lonely???

Perhaps, my view towards loneliness in the past is quite an opposite of what i perceive it to be now..

I do appreciate loneliness... and i am starting to like it...

It brings real peace to oneself...

The sad reality....

Sometimes, things are left better unsaid than be said...

Sadness

Okay, there is a saying from my friend that goes like this...

People don't like being with loners..
So when one is feeling lonely. be alone...

It actually solves the problem itself.. Paradoxically huh.. However, think deeper... If one wishes to find companionship just because he wants it, it may or eventually backfire...

On a personal note, the feeling of jealousy and sadness comes in again... I have to let these emotions run thru me, then it will be another part and parcel of life...

Then, everything is nothing...

IPhone...

Ok, personally, i feel that it is getting more and more irritating for people to flash their apple products anywhere... The term 'unique' is no longer there... I really pity those who are getting iphones without they themselves knowing what do they actually want...

Maybe the better option to waste money is to donate it to my pockets.. I will see it to better use...

Apologising

Apologizing does not always mean that you are wrong and the other person is right... It just means that you value your friendship more than your ego...

Pain

Inevitably, all pain is about longing for yesterday - whoever we had before,whatever used to be. But when pain doesn't go away fast enough, we criticize ourselves for not getting over it, for not being strong enough, or even for being vulnerable in the first place..

That is not how wounds heal... They don't obey our wishes... Healing takes place in its own way and in its own time..

Only when i accepted that, only when i stopped fighting, did i find any peace...

Maturity

Maturity means (or i supposedly it means) one may accept the reality of the supposedly reality, however one may not agree to it...

A little more violent analogy

Suppose one guy kills one of my closer personnel... I may have accepted the reality that that person is gone forever.. However, though i may not have done anything bad to the do-er, it does not mean i agree to his actions... One day he will have to taste the revenge of someone else...

When You feel different, you think different...

Sometimes, i can't help to think, that we are just puppets for another person's entertainment..

Since change is inevitable, and you get hurt.. So the only consolation is next time, do not get yourself so deeply involved..

There must be bound to be some boundary...

The more you feel your different-ness, the more lonely you will get.

As water of life wash over us, we lose our sharp corners, and that can be good; we can take on surprising, satisfying new shapes. We can also lose some of the great wisdom that we were born with. But the evidence of that wisdom stays with us, right under our noses...

Our job is simple; trust your instincts, remember your secret pact and reclaim the wisdom you have always had.

Being different is not a problem,it is just being different...

However, feeling different is a problem... When u feel different, the feeling can actually change the way you see the world...

The more you feel your different-ness, the more lonely you will get.

From Letters to Sam

Question to Ponder....

If you found your best friend and your spouse were having an affair, who would you blame...

Try and comment on it...

Sweet words are like honey, a little may refresh, but too much gluts the stomach..

Never reach out your hand unless you are willing to extend your arm...

Honest without compassion and understanding is not honesty, but subtle hostility..
