Being present always

Forget the past, forget the future, there is always and only the present. Fret not. I'am not saying to forget our roots or even fail to plan ahead, but really, perhaps more accurately, don't dwell or be constraint by your past and refrain from having unnecessary anxiety of the unknown future and live your life fully in the present.

-

Imagine you are driving down the highway of your life. It doesn't really make much sense if you are guiding yourself ahead looking at the rear windscreen mirror, neither does it make any sense by looking at the GPS for the conditions ahead all the time. You probably crash into something sooner than you think.

-

You have the power to transform your life. However, that space doesn't occur in the past which is already over and neither is it in the future, which is yet to arrive. The power is now, your thoughts and actions now. Every choice that you made, every word that you say changes the things that will occur in the next moment. Thus, be fully present at every moment of your life. Allow the past to take over you, very soon, you will find every moment of your life to be exactly the same as that of the past. Having too much anxiety towards the future and you will miss out the things that's happening around you at this particular moment.

-

Very often, we are so consumed by our past or future that we missed out the things around us. We were never really fully present to our conversations, our gatherings, the sight and sounds, the experiences that life brings to us at every moment in our life. We are probably busy dealing (in our mind), thinking of things that have happened or about to take place in our life.

-

Though we usually take things for granted, thinking that things will pretty much remain status quo, the truth is that you will never really know when is the last time that you might be able to do something. If you do not start living in the present now, you might just miss that important "last" time which absolutely didn't look like the last when you did it.

-

Start being fully present and acknowledge every moment of your life. Participate fully in all the experiences and situations that life brings you. Focus, concentrate and live life to the fullest!

speed blading

Simply love speed blading. The wind, the thrill, the speed and the possibility of crashing, missing a step, falling down, putting your life on the line, risking it all.

-

That's what blading is about. If you don't have style, you gotta have speed. Else, there's nothing. What's so fun with rolling along, gliding slowly, taking it easy.

-

To achieve speed, absolute focus is necessary. To do every stroke right. The right strength, the right angle, the right attitude.

-

Thank you for riding with me today. Hasn't blade this fast and this far since the runway blading in April, or was it May? Its definitely easier to find a biker who's willing to rough it out than another non speed skater.

-

Thank you once again.

Caught this phrase from one of the tv drama serial and thought that it was rather interesting.

-

One should only make new mistakes.

-

When you commit a mistake for the first time, it can be considered to be due to your innocence or ignorance.

-

When the same mistake is committed a second time, you deserved the outcome and is seen at best as pitiful.

Fate has a weird way of testing people. I supposed I got my test today. And thankfully, I must say. I have passed the test. Probably not with flying colours, but definitely quite a good grade also. Thanks goes out to all my friends who have helped me in one way or another during this period. I have passed the test!!! yeah! :)

-

Think its a fluke? Test me again if you are not convinced. I will perform even better the next time round. You bet I will!

live from Pan Pacific Hotel

Once every year, I would end up at some hotel in Singapore for work. This time round, its Pan Pacific Hotel. Though not as posh as Shangri-la hotel. (oops, will they sue me for it?) ok...let's give it a fair comparison. the last time round, I got a deluxe room in Shangri-la, this time round, its only a normal room in Pan Pacific, so I supposed there must definitely be some sort of compromised somewhere. Yeah, there's no balcony this time round. I really missed the balcony back there.

-

But I seriously like the way the hotel is designed. In fact, its the same for Oriental and Marina Mandrain. The high ceiling, well, in fact its all the way to the roof. The lightings. The ambience. The company. That date.

-

Partially, that's also due to the fact that I have some remnants memories of the place. Nice memories, which will be convert to permanent storage. No, no longer sad. Memories will just be memories.

-

Glad that I'am no longer needed, cos they would means that things are looking cheery and bright over the other side. Its sunshine over the rain for yer and i'am truly glad. Happiness have finally found you. Keep it that way. :)

All things happen for a reason, I'am sure...well, at the very least, most things happen for a reason. Whether the reason is known or unknown to you, that's secondary. Well, not that you can help it even if you wanted it to be primary.

-

The past weeks have definitely taken a toll on me...physically (i've been like down with this persistent flu and cough for 2 weeks already), mentally (sleeping hours are all screwed up due to this shift cum office hours deployment, long working hours, late night, stay up), spiritually (haven't have much time to communicate with myself and reconcile things, tok to a fren, let off some steam). In short, I can say that I feel rather down at the moment.

-

Perhaps its times like this that my innermost pessimisstic self has once again taken over control. So, what happened to my sudden up surge of optimissim 3 weeks ago? or was it 2 weeks? Nah, I know that its still there somewhere, I just need to re-orientate myself. Devote myself to work for the remaining one week, everything will be fine. Though I must admit that I'am feeling a bit terrible and lousy at the moment.

-

Go to bed, have a good sleep. Everything will be a okay when you wake up tml - words of wisdom from a dear bro. Well, I have no doubt that its the truth. Sadness is a perspective. Disappointment is a perspective. Though it feels really bad to be ignored, neglect or snub at, there's no reason why you should allow yourself to feel foul over the whole thing. There's a reason why things are happening this way. Its trying to tell you something...why wouldn't you listen? Listen to it...its saying...let go. Put it down. Its no big deal. Just walk away. Your battle is over, this is no longer your war. Give it up. Remember, happiness and sadness cannot co-exist...MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

-

I choose happiness. I choose the light. I am not that strong and I am really hurt this time, so get outta of my life. I'am not angry...its just that I need the favour from you to recover. Looking at what you are doing, its great. I get your point, I get your message. Let's continue. You are my addiction and I'am trying to kick it. Well, at least I've already quitted smoking. You are next. :)

-

I wish you happiness. Please give me your blessing too.

killer drinks

Went cheonging on sat nite. Haven't done that for a long time liao. Well, it was good, I must say.

-

However, I believed I went a bit overboard with my drinks. The killer was this terrible concoction of beer + wine + hard liquor. Take my advice. Though it looks and taste perfectly harmless, its freaking jia lat man. Gave me a spinning headache the entire night. STEER CLEAR FROM IT!!!

Happiness

Life is short. Life is unpredictable. Life is harsh. But being alive, is the greatest gift anyone can possibly have.

-

There is much unfairness, much disappointment, much sadness, much regret in life.

-

However, why do one feel unfairness, disappointment, sadness & regret?

-

Happiness is a state of mind, and so is unfairness, disappointment, sadness or regret?

-

Happiness is mutually exclusive to disappointment, sadness & regret. So, why feel sad when one can feel happy instead?

-

There is no time to be sad, everyone second that you feel sadness, regret or disappointment is one less second of happiness that you can experience while alive.

-

Happiness is there waiting for you. Open your heart and embrace it. Live every moment of your life being happy!

Sworn off cigarettes

After smoking 5 sticks in a row, I came to realise that cigarettes are not going to help me. For a first, they are expensive. 5 sticks of cigarettes is approximately $2.50, enough to buy me a hawker fare. If my troubles are with money, smoking cigarettes is definitely counter productive. Second, the temporal relief that it bring ain't going to make my trouble go away permanently. Third, it clouds my ability to think, making my thoughts more messed up than it already is. Fourth, I feel like shit after the effect wears off.

An interesting story

A farm was full of fat lazy pigs who r always complaining...One day, PIGGIE decided 2 be a happy pig. He started telling jokes and cleared all negative complaints & have +ve mindset. He started 2 spread his happiness ard to e rest of the pigs. But PIGGER (best fren of PIGGIE) was not V convinced.. PIGGER tot PIGGIE was attention seeker..OR PIGGIE is going cRaZY!..Or PIGGIE dun like PIGGER anymore..Soon, all e other pigs became happy and +ve pigs. Even e sheep, dogs, horse, ducks etc etc were haPPier lor! Only tt PIGGER was still sad & sceptical. FINALLY, PIGGER decided 2 stop zuan niu jiao jian (hah!), and the whole farm was full of happy animals. PIGGER also regained his friendship with PIGGIE, yeah.

Seriously, after reading it the 2nd time, I have really no idea what my friend was trying to tell me. Though it has definitely been a farnie story. Thanks nonetheless. :) Time to clear my inbox.
