Remember to lighten up your life

Many of us in this country, sadly to say, really have nothing much to cheer recently. A lot of my friends are lamenting how tough life will be with the enormous hike in pump prices by the govt. Food prices are going up as a result and that's the most direct impact in our lives. A plate of wanton mee now cost RM4 to RM4.50 in many places. Small business owners and commoners are always the ones to be impacted directly by all these policies which are implemented without much analysis and studies.

I am not going to write about politics. In fact I hate it as I think it is very hypocritical and many of top power men, either here or other countries, have over promised and under delivered.

That is why I recommend those who are feeling the pinch to joke and laugh more! It's the best medicine. Spare some time a day to lighten up and forget those unhappiness in life. And stop feeding on the more negative side of life..I know it's not easy as most people around are like that...just do your best to focus on the better sides of life.

Jokes are made up to give us the needed break from the monotonous of our daily work.
If there is nobody around, then you should laugh out loud! I always do that at home and my mom will ask me what happens! I do feel better after that and nothing beats the light feeling in my chest as I feel that everything is going to be all right again.

Throw away self pity

Seriously, I have learned about about life last past year. Firstly due to Marie Callas books whom I read when I'm having my lunch breaks or waiting for someone. It was inspiring and what Marie said is philosophically right and reflect on the state of the mind most of us have. I regard her as a very learned person. I also read other motivational books and basically every belief in the word is the same...

One that I learn is that when I am weak, I will self pity myself and hide into my own small corner. In the end, I realise this is the worst kind of addiction one can have.
Self pity makes us numb to the exuberance of lives around us. At this time, creativity is dead. Our lives just stop moving forward at that moment.

When you self pity, it is not something you can be proud of but too often I see people who feel their action is right...

Right, so from now on, discard your self pity. It's good that we laugh at ourselves at our follies when we look back. Learn to walk out of it, a small step at a time, but with strong steadfast steps.

To be ‘whole’ you again, you have to move on with your life.

clarity of nature

It would be nice if I stay near a nature park just at a stone's throw away. Unfortunately that can only be a pipe dream as the place here is really haphazardly plan. To enjoy nature in Malaysia, one can only look to the east which is in Sabah or Sarawak. I would like to visit these 2 eastern states one day. I heard there is a lot of beautiful sceneries and exotic plants and animals.

Do not just treat nature as a swash of tall eerie trees. Marie Callas said that there is enormous energy emitting from nature? A motivational guru describes the energy vibrations of nature as being of the very highest order and able to raise the health of an individual simply by being in its presence.

Think back of a time you were surrounded by plain of tall trees. I remember when I was younger, I was climbing Mount Ophir with some school mates. The air was really different from those you breath in the city. I felt that the air was different as it filled your lungs and your mind seem so clear for that moment.

So, allow your different energies to combine and raise you to a higher level of awareness.

get regular exercise

We work hard day and night to earn a good living, especially now that many daily items are getting more expensive. More people are getting disillusioned with life.

I have one way out to de stress yourself. That is get a regular exercise! Get your body moving and sweating so that bad substances inside are flushed out. It is very important to maintain a good health.

For me, I like to have regular endurance cardiovascular exercise, like light running, swimming or brisk walking. Many of us rely on cars here hence it is good that we make use of our feets more.

When I first started exercising just a few months back, I found myself resisting to this idea. The flesh was weak. Hence it would be nice there is a group support encouraging each other. Hence I was very grateful to my younger sister for her constant encouragement.

Initally you may find it hard like short of breath. The thing is, do not force yourself. Get yourself into a regular rhythm. It would also be good if you exercise in the area that is pleasing to the eyes so that you can carry on better.

Then usually between 20 and 30 minutes, when your breathing has settled into a rhythm, you will find that voice start to quieten and allow a peace to overcome you.
Through this, I sweat and i get fit. And the fitter i am physically, I have a better frame of mind and look fresher too!

trapped in the string of numbers..

It's been a long time since last post. I'm getting less time online as I realise I'm not a very "internet" person. Still I do try to blog here as much as I can.

Wow, I had a good pleasant surprise recently. Marie Callas I would like to tell you that the number you had given me made me richer by a few hundred ringgits. That's very exciting and rewarding for me, even though I'd hope for a bigger prize money. It's ok for now because I'm very confident I'll get a really big one one of these days when luck is very strong.

Marie Callas what I would hope you could help me more is that Marie please tell me more about the latest string of numbers you had given me. They are 29, 34, 14, 7, 31, 4, 18.
What would be the best 4 number combination from these numbers? Is there anyway you psychic Marie Callas can predict? I understand I'm very gambling addicted yet who doesn't dream of getting more money in life?

Take control and charge

In life we get depressed and dejected. That's pretty normal because we humans experience the full spectrum of emotions that's why we are Higher Intelligence! Imagine boyfriend or girlfriend tells you it is all over, you feel you want to cry and die. That is very strong emotion detachment.

I did experience that a few years ago and I can tell you it is really something unpleasant that makes you want to hide in your room and cry for days! So if you are experience such thing now, the key is not to focus on the negatives, but focus on the positives. I'm sure you can figure that out. There are always 2 sides of a coin. One good one bad.

When it seems that life is coming at you in every direction, stop and declare firmly that you are walking in perfect peace. Take back your joy, reclaim your victory, and let the enemy know that you have been broken but you are strong enough to know that you are not defeated. Take control of that very thing. You may have been broken but you are not weak!

I care about family and friends

This little humble blog of mine was left untouched for the last 3 weeks. In just a blink of the eyes, we are now in the April. How soon. And I'm another year older. Today I feel like blogging again, because I have a lot of feelings to record down.

There is this Chinese phrase, "天下没有不散的宴席", meaning there is no unending banquet in this world. Think this is an understatement because it is so true, to the point of stupidity. Recently, I have heard of many friends and old buddies going to work overseas for a few years. To places like Taiwan, Singapore, Australia or Europe. I'll miss them. They say the chances to earn money with higher value are too good to be turned down. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity that you will regret if you miss it. At least the experience lets you see what's happening in your host country. Some fall in love with that country and migrated there in the end or they married there.

I had this wish when I was younger. But in the end, because the family needs my support, I had to forgo this thought. I did not become bitter with my parents for holding me on to that. After all I understand their feelings. In the end, I managed to get into a local university, which was very lucky considering I am a Chinese. In this country, education quotas depend on your race colours, not your academic results. I hope that will change very soon in the new government, if not, I can't see my country leaping to the next level in near future.

In the end, my effort did not go to waste as I did well. And I managed to get a good secure job and that made my parents very happy. They are the very traditional kind of parents. No out of the line adventures in life. They do give me more freedom as I grew up. Now I totally have my own freedom and I got to know many people too.

Nowadays, we keep in contact and with things like Facebook and so, connectivity is not an issue anymore. It would be a crime if you did not do so some say! I do my best to keep in contact with people and i don't think I do well somehow as I was always busy due to work.

Family and friends are very important to me because they bring more colours and hopes into my life.
