Woohoo. 2 years have passed and I reach 89 posts. Some I would say would have changed blog sites in 2 years at this rate. Nahh I'm too lazy to change a site. Not for any promotional purpose. Even for motivational reason I'm just too lazy. It doesn't matter.
I have to preach on this. On behalf of Stressm but not a Stressm post.
Feeling good is important in life.
It's natural. We keep striving to feel good. After feeling good you will feel bad and you will want to feel good again. That's what keep life moving. It's not wrong or bad when complacency strikes. Life is a constant cycle of events and they just ricochet away if it's not right.
But let's not leap into idleness.
(I want to admit that the Napoleon's newsletter and Thought of the Day are the few resources of lessons in life I learn from.)
Let's just take life as life. I don't mind or care if God intervenes or involves himself. I'm putting our human life as natural as a separate entity on Earth.
Look at humans. So much advancement since the cave dwellings. We are building bombs now.
Well, it's just us. We learn and suffer and at times we succeed. This is just the norm. Why can't we just live it. Yeah add spices here and all over to make all of us feel good. My point here is, "don't worry, be happy".
I understand that I might just drop dead the very next moment after finishing off this sentence. Then I didn't so I cherish. Until I'm struck then I will complain and cry in pain and vain. That's just life isn't it. No one prepares us to cope with all emotional situations.
The people in the war. The people in poverty. The people in the riches. The people affected by Earth's catastrophes. I appreciate all of them and I feel their existence. I just don't have any better media to convey it. I only have the thought in my mind. Well, cos I never go through their experiences.
I may sound hypocritical but then I'm just an average young man who likes to express and then sit back and relax. Unless there is a sudden emergency which I have to pack my valuable belongings and enter the mercenary.
So my point "Don't worry, be happy" strikes again. You have what you have now. You get what you want later. You enjoy what you have. You work for what you want. It all comes to an end. Accomplishing life. Be it, dissipate into thin air or join the Earth and soil after death we will identify it then.
But no one has ever come back to tell us about it. In my opinion, that is actually the best thing to do after death. Don't get attached with what we've left. I wonder what will happen if really someone comes back and tells us the story of afterlife. Curiosity kills the cat.
But I have an ambition of visiting life again after death. I would like to see what people do with my legacy. Or if there's anyone playing some sad solo over my coffin. Maybe my body will just be buried somewhere 6-feet-under that would be your great-grandchild's backyard garden.
And by luck I found this quote over the websites.
"Enthusiasm with error is more acceptable than indifference with perfection." — J. Dinneen
How would you define it?
For me, it comes to me in many aspects. It deals with some attitude some people have. It deals with passion. It deals with life.
Of course having said that I mean that I had some experiences with what I've come across. Especially through teenage, studies and upcoming career life. We will all encounter these and managed somehow to survive.
It's just life. You wana feel good, you do it your way. And make sure you do not mess with others. Breach of principles and selfishness are what get into someone's goodwill. er..hmm..I mean someone who tries to be nice when provoked will become not nice. It gets into his nerves and induces discomfort.
But then again, it's one's choice to be angered or emotionally affected. I am not going write any more here as I am touching the topic of "choice".
I think my long-windedness only means "I want to feel good". That should be one of everybody's goal everyday to be achieved. You don't want to go to bed every night or day(night-shift) with the thinking "I screwed" unless you just had sex.
Applying some Buddhism and teachings on life and death, that's not wholesome. We all want to die peacefull and wholesomely. Good karma. Have a nice day, humans.
Guns N' Roses - Two revolvers pointing at each other with rose flowers coiled around
What is the significance?
Rock and roll.
For fun purpose, I brought up a some random defining thinking. @#$%^ Figure out what made the rockers and rollers think of the name which consists of guns and roses. oh right, I read before that it was the name of the members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose namely, Tracii Guns and Axl Rose (almighty).
Think again, it's somewhat a great match. The logo is very beautiful. The colour of the gun and the red of rose also show some contrasted perception. A rose, so beautiful and static. The gun so powerful and dynamic, it can shoot. A peaceful idea in contrast to the violence-ridden invention respectively.
But they share something in common. Nothing "nice" lasts forever.
The rose portrayed some peace but it also has its thorns in which it symbolizes "war->engage" button. And so the gun is also used in wars. However it has 2 functions; pull the trigger to start the war/end the peace or to end the war/start the peace.
..Even though the metal of the gun lasts quite some time heh..
Anyway, gun can be seen as the hard and rose the soft elements of Guns N' Roses.
Pore over the words from the song Civil War. " Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before
My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "Peace could last forever" And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land
And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars
~We practice selective annihilation of mayors And government officials For example to create a vacuum Then we fill that vacuum As popular war advances Peace is closer~
I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh And I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway "
That is just as civil as our country. Sorry-asses..no comments
I've highlighted on this song before 5 years ago in my friendster blog haha if you could find it.
no no..no romance for me please. but yeah, some armageddon-like action packed earth crust destabilizing volcanic tsunami washing of the sins.
...with the appearance of "B. B King's long lost distant cousin"-look-alike.
wouho, the modern day "arks" have hydraulics and gearings in their systems. And the Antonov super jumpo carrier has many deluxurious cars..sorry I mixed deluxe and luxurious together.
"Engine, start.."
It's a super family love story. A tearless man like me could have cried if they were to show more families drowning.
2012
Good balance as a show on the collapse of the Earth's crust. They kept a balance in the appearance of the actors and scenes of destructions. Exhilirating. My hands were automatically gripped and held in some religious position of meditation. Don't ask me why. It's just sprititual to see the Earth swallowing up human's artworks. hah.
I would want to be in Charlie's position in the time of death. Get the best shot from nature.
Build tall skyscrapers just to see them fall in the end right?
And they should have included Malaysia's famous landmarks to be broken into two or three such as the bridge and some towers.

Today is the last day. Today is the day. When Hell let loose of something. Unpredictable. But it ain't judgement day.
And today the something is going to muster all its energy. The something is going to lead an outroar of many something. To revel in the resources and elements of satisfaction. To the ISLAND.
yeahoo. Will be back very soon. Many are returning too. We all love the Island, don't we? We will always love it. Drown with Hell! choi choi choi tai-kei-lei-si *touchwood...
Well, I'm going to collect some energy to write something productive and meaningful to myself. Something I always did after a long haul of being not at home. I need the peace in my mind. Something related which follows up for Hooi's Terminator Salvation. That kind of write-up is very good. It stimulate all our thinking. It all depends, up to people individualism or comformity to commonality to accept the divergence of unholy remarks. By unholy I mean thoughts and professions that do not go along with the available mainstream religions today.
Many would take this as a desecration of being alive as being a creation and going against the existence of the creator. Which in writings by far anyone in the world who attempted to touch contents which are already covered in the bibles would have suffered execration. No, I may not want to touch your religion. I don't like to create such sensitivity. I talk about mine, alright.
Forgive, I pompously used certain words which I just found in the dictionary. ahah.

Well, go party of course tonight. Where should I go? Anywhere could avoid some big bang for the bucks...M.O.S burns wallets heh..still, everyone wants a drink. gulp
So how do actually people judge or view one another? How do people start to gain trust. How do people begin to have fun. How do people just find amusement and make life just so colourful and blossom with filthy immaculateness. Just some random(fun yet social abusive) topic to write on.
Attitude.
Behaviour.
Body language.
Gossip/reference.
Favoritism Judgement.
Face value(visual perception).
What I'm trying to bring to thought here is related to human physical and mental interaction which is not so into social-contact but includes more of the surrounding issues and especially which deals with the eye and the mind. At least, for comprehensive purpose I will write it in a more straight-to-the-point manner.
Take this, you walk into a place. And then you don't feel too comfortable. Either feeling out of place or when a lot of heads are turned facing you. Let's minus these instances such as unzipped pants, funny hairstyle, and outstanding visual values like pretty/sexy/handsome/big/great. So what are the potential causes to the feelings concocted and blended through the nerves and be interpreted as a visual-environmental-tunnel-perplex in the head. Simply, you feel like people are looking at you for dunno wat reasons.
I've collected a few causes, sources of this "perasan" case. "Perasan" can be defined as being very aware of the surrounding interaction or being self-conscious. One obvious reason is of course being so self-conscious thinking that everyone would be looking at you. In short, vain.
So if it isn't self-conscious, what is it. Inferiority complex. Feeling inferior. Not so good huh. Feel that people are looking down at you. For no apparent reason apart from lack of self-confidence/esteem, you just feel like people don't accept the way you are there.
Reality status-discrimination. Sometimes. For certain people. Sometimes people who got overflowing cash and beautiful paycheques just have different visions with levels of arrogance. But some really are different, the one who whose heads elevated and do not even take a glance. And sometimes the other way, like a super rich clean guy entering a poor slum.
Style. This one surfaces more among young people. When rockers meet popstars, hip-hoppers battle disney-dancers or classical musicians drink with black metal worshippers. Goth vs mainstream. Sometimes the uniques catch discriminative attention and sometimes they get idol worshipped. But at times the simples get the thumbs down. Just about who turns up conspicuous.
The "in"-"loud"-"prominent"-"pretty" group. This one also occurs more often within the young generations. Though, the elders usually get the attention either when they are a group of drinkers or a group of foul language loudspeakers. So, like this, the group with the most good-looking men and ladies. Or the one which could generate the loudest attention-seeking noise.
I could think of only those. Actually these are playing in my mind while being in the experience of going through different kinds of people or basically when you enter somewhere new to y-ourselves. A common but sucky, self-"de-personalising"(and at times against own principles) solution is to fit in. Think of it. Being new to a community who does something you don't do(or dislike) and then trying to fit in by doing it. The most fundamental explanatory example would simply be pick up smoking when everyone else around you smoke. Hey, you think it's foolish, yes but it's happening now in the schools, cities, suburbs and societies. Come on, the best example I can give you is, practically almost everyone smokes in my hostel last year.
Enough said, about fitting in or doing something common to feel right at place. Basically, I just feel uncomfortable when people turn their heads to look. It's without a doubt in fact a form of self-conscious. Because sometimes it's just a reaction for people to look up in attention. I know.
But, being totally out of place yeah out of Penang I can just feel it. And especially being from the obscure school distant from the place I always patronize. Today, I'm already quite settled at that vicinity but still, the complex in the head is still in the air. Totally chinese people...mandarin..chinese songs..."cool" hairstyles..plus real china people.
The stand-out difference that I can really feel is it doesn't happen with the overwhelming populated black people(africans/middle-easts/afric-americ). I have more due respect for them more than I have with the IIIothersIII. Forgive me for I myself being a Chinese saying things as such. I feel good and proud anyway being in a school with so few of my ethnicity. No I am not against my own race. I'm just a bit sensitive and have a certain social-mental distortion against that kind that exists in the race. You KNOW what I mean.
Tagline: It's so much easy to find Malaysian rockers among the Malays and find similar interest-bound clicks.
Of course, language does a little barrier to our social blender. hurh..In my opinion, in KL they insist on speaking Cantonese. Other place, Mandarin would be very much preferable. Although they have to learn English and BM to communicate with international students but they ain't like/gona speak other than Chinese with us, Chinese ethnic Malaysians. In Penang, heh simply easy Hokkien does the job. Most actually know mandarin and cantonese but come on, it's Penang our lingua franca is Hokkien. Foot to you mandarin in Penang haha.
This one is personal a bit(but not necessarily my incident). I just don't like when you people start to change language and speak to one another to discuss something else in a middle of a big discussion/conversation especially with people who don't understand. I just don't feel good, as if I'm in the plan to conspire, but actually I don't understand either. This is an example from my Moral class last year with the lecturer being the only Malay. And also Indians who do that switch of language. hurh..mana respect ni.
So back from digressing...that much is a subtopic of finding a living in out of place. Practically or basically that is, trying hard to retain and remain being yourself.
Like, I actually really lose myself when clubbing. Another kind of show of fitting-in.
When in a group, I feel safer and much more steady. But sometimes I do get out of hand especially doing a group thing. A basic form of joining in the fun.
If solo, that's really me myself and no influences except mind blowing pressure in the head thinking shits and fits while being alone with the past and future logs come crashing in suddenly. Could be saddening. Could be joyful which you might happen to catch yourself smiling and laughing by yourself out of the blue/green/black/red etc. Most of the time I'm humble and kinda the shy type.
What do you think? I always think of the James Bond cool way. Funny. In the end, I find myself turning my head quickly enough to avoid eye-contact but usually it's already too obvious when the girl I'm looking at turns to look back in the same direction. That is why I always do a quick-scanning..the hermit-timid kind.
ahah but when I'm full of confidence and brim-full of esteem I go crazy. Out of control. I totally unleash. Maybe that's the just my real personality. As for being ourselves. But I have a Stresser comment. What we do(peer/tv-influences negligible) is actually a form of being ourselves because that's us doing if not being possessed and when subconsciously we do not feel good after doing is because that is not what we like in our head but it's nature that our hearts guide the actions. This explains on how certain adults end up in a career different from their ambition...they go with the flow and for being themselves they just accept and decide on what they are capable of with limitations.
So if He's God..I'm Godder? Right. If they are cooler, we're just hot.
This is just an example of what I think is freestyle. It says, why worry?. Trying to grasp the stoicism and hedonism within the hair. Maybe Jonathan who always sleeps(a.k.a TuKia->hokkien-jaredi-pinyin) could explain..haah
*Tad-bits of bite for the season(new feature!!!): The scientific and logical fundamental of music is rhythm and sound come from everything that comes into contact and produces a pulsating waves that are interpreted as sound waves and be recognized as sound. And the root of production of sound could be hitting or knocking. Take pound on the table. Tap the feet. Knock on the door(not necessarily Heaven's). And repeated action of such in a faster(may it be aggresive) manner like knocking, stomping or talking(or shouting/screaming) is considered a progressive sound production. Talking/screaming is a form of melodic and varying pitch and frequency bounded waves that can be derived from a single note that comes out from the mouth. So? So in the events of those repetitions, noise, colloquially is produced as known as an unwanted/disgusted form of sound. So, yeah you can brand Rock/Metal music as noise. It's true but you just can't bear it. heh such fun.
Cos, "if it ain't Rock it ain't music"~Hooi's t-shirt, December 23, 2008.
In my opinion, overjoyful-mainstream/pop music is noisy. Bad mix of syncs...noisy howls. At least rock has its clear rhythm. Crispy. Even hip-hop heh. Anyhow, just find your favourite music and suck it up no one's vexin'.
Let me try create something out of nothing. Fill nothingness with blankness.
hmm...brainstorm. headbang. fresh air.. music....free time Ok, this will be a short one if I couldn't.
I talked to Jonathan about the zero state or zero level neutral condition. Which God knows what's this is about.
Let's say. If everyone becomes good people and there's zero vices. Sinless. So the world turns good. So good becomes the normal level. The neutral. Like nothing. Let's mark it as zero. So like I mentioned before on the relation with Integers in Mathematics. Zero is now the goodness. I stated that it will go up or go down from there. I just don't know why, I didn't think well enough(as usual) perhaps. When Jonathan says, ok let the world continue to go up in positive numbers. It struck me in the pancreas. He means letting the world do better and better and be greater at being good. At that point, I just suddenly stopped dead at my thought to stand for my principles. Hmm..I think and think and I agreed that time. But I kinda deny that the increase that is higher than the zero level leads to something else. It might not be good-er. So what? There's a miscalculation and lost of thought in this matter. I gotta sit back and relax, unwind recollect my thoughts and analyse. Hmm...haven't done laundry in 3 days.
Ok, back to quotes and prophecies... I watched Batman(on the premier day). Commercial title is Dark Knight. Snippets of spoilers here. Let me talk a bit about my surroundings first. hehe, my first time in fact having movie-goers beside me getting so moved and emotional besides laughter. There's these people around me who kept uttering, "shit!", "oh no!", "shit" and more "shitt". It's normal actually, I have seen my aunts all scream and begging for God's mercy for the hero in the movies, and a senior schoolmate communicating with the characters in the movie like, "watch out! At the back of you!" "NO! TURN RIGHT!" "ah ur leg!" "hit him harder!" "GOSH! YOU'RE SO DUMB". Back to the Batman. Because there's scenes which really threaten audiences to curl, pray for forgiveness and ponder whether the killing or hurting will take place. In the end,[spoiler] most of the hurtings happen for real. So to me, this movie is violent but erm..but not gory. Just a little sadistic and satirical. Ah, just how great the acting of Heath Ledger(R.I.P.) for the character The Joker. Pure awesomeness. And Christian Bale trying to sound like Corey Taylor in Batman suit. Lots of surprises in this movie. Just pure greatness. Being a realistic humanoid superhero movie, this is a great action-movie for me. The other would be Indiana Jones in this year. Other super great special effect action-movies for me are still Transformers and the new ones are Ironman and The Incredible Hulk. HULK SMASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So in the movie, there's this quote: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. What's the point there? The magnifent two-face ever changing world. The perception of people. The thoughts alike. Sometimes you do good but you are blessed wrongly, short-termed. But some bad guys really live forever with good blessings. Let's not talk about afterdeath or life. What The Joker does is really similarly of Goth, if according to YW's post. Non-mainstream conformist way. The unidealistic. Do what's right and fun for himself. But of course, Stressm objects to his deeds in instigating and killings. But by watching the movie, I developed a sense of empathy for him. I also feel what he is doing serves mankind right. Sometimes there are just these kind of mavericks who try to show the world a different path but too bad, the mainstream view the move as "illegal".
Same to my brother's conformity with Karl Marx's Communism ideology. Is it an ideology? Same thing again, it depends on how you accept them. I do not really believe there's right or wrong but it's subtle. Absurd at times. Or sometimes people just use the wrong method with the wrong tools. But that's also the maverick's way. You use fund-raising activity to help create awareness towards some peace work. The maverick might use fireworks and display of bloodshed to cease war and promote peace.
Greed sometimes or at all times plays a part. For an example, you would want some part of the profit or credit gained. haha but Batman doesn't, really. He endures it. And that is why he is the Dark Knight.[watch the movie then you will know wth i just mentioned] "WHY SO SERIOUSSS?!" ~The Joker
Ok, new thought. (not bad..maybe it's music that keep my brain generating new ideas..just listened to Avenged Sevenfold's Seize The Day guitar solo).
This way. Take Batman. He fights crimes. He tries hard to reach the zero level. So let's say zero level is attained. Which means he is no longer needed? Or he is the new deal to the cops? The movie targets him as a law breaker..some kind of Hancock? By the way, Hancock movie is really inspirational. Batman, gona be the new villain? That's the point in that zero level theory. When the "bad" extincts, the "good" becomes the bad in order to restore to good. Any idea what this explains? I feel this agrees to the principle that higher or lower fluctuation from the zero level leads to something else. And it comes back to the cycle principle. Take this, when you are bad, you will want to be good. When you are good, you do something bad and you become bad.
Theoretical.
SUbjective. Big Banging.
My belief: Take this life as neutral. Then you screw, you do real bad stuffs like killing and raping. Next life, you suffer and suffer bad fate as a vengeance to your past life and then you repent. In the following life, you lead a poor life like a new beginning. Next life your life turns back to neutral. So the cycle of life goes on. However this is not in line with or being taught by Buddhism and in Karma, though it's similar in the sense of cycle.
It takes free time and twisted neurones to come up with these ideas to write.
Sucked. Absorbed. The by-products are to be expelled soon. 2 hours of blogging two posts..and Jonathan has continued his nap. But I didn't post this instantly.
Cheers. This might be one of the very few last large hours of free time I am going to have... Savour!
Back to jungle life.
"Take me home to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty" ~Paradise City, Guns N' Roses
There is an update. Eric has completed his VERY COOL & LONG POST reminiscing on our good ol' mfking twisted spleen stress anorexic ass splitting Editorial Board days. The way there. And so I include that link in my recent post which has a part on it too. Cheers to the bloodiest board members ever.
[STRESS has finally made its comeback in posting something stressful but with a twist in its way of expressing. Perhaps the Friendster Stressm blog would not be continued but I think I might just use that place to relate lyrics with my views and meanings. So, as to celebrate it... The Pangea post was already a major move.(actually there were already posts with thoughts from Stresser just that I don't reveal the identity earlier. They are 1. New Blood Joins, 2. Patience, 7. Tribute to My Brain and 12. A Trip to Hell & Void]
Imagine a world with no borders.
Try not imagine.
Feel. Escape from the lies that encapsulate us. Break free from the vortex which separates our perception from the truth concealed.
"you reap what you sow"
One says it's the rule of the karma - what goes around comes around.
Hooi, remember like the games I create for you in the emails "to punish you".
I found this website somewhere someone refer the readers to to get an understanding through the lines and depictions from the life. Find some free time to read it. Nice read, really.
There are still so many examples and true or real-life depictions in explaining and bringing us closer to the saying. So don't kinda blame God or ask why bad luck happens to you. Try asking, why do the others deserve bad lucks and accidents more and not you, when you feel life is unfair. A simple answer is "God loves you more". heh
And coincidentally, there goes the saying in the movie Kung Fu Panda by Master Oogway, "There are NO accidents". Plainly, it coincides with my belief in fate and prophecies. Yeah, of course not literal and direct with the meaning from the dictionary of "accident". It just means that you really can't get oranges by accident if you planted peaches in the first place. This movie has exactly the principle to explain it. The other way to think of it would be, to believe. Stop messing around the world and your head saying, "it can't be, it can't be... this must be a mistake". Rather, move on with it and unravel the true truth which you long to know, dying to understand it and living to research it.
The movie series of Saw has what it takes to show you the fruit of the saying. I have a twist on it, "you rip what you saw" literally, saw in the context of using the tool to cut. haha. You see, the victims in the movie were actually people who had done bad things. And the traps John Kramer set are sets that test the victims themselves on how would they feel if they were in the position of their victims in the past when they commit bad deeds unto them (anyone has a better phrasing of this sentence??) and why their victims deserved their tragedies. Actually, same goes to the "teacher"-cum-"trap-setter" John. He's punishing the people. What does it takes to be the punisher? A messiah in another way. But you know, everyone knows superheroes couldn't possibly save everyone in the world. It's either someone saves people in New York, or Ultraman fighting monsters in Tokyo, Cicakman fighting crimes in Kuala Lumpur. Yeah, that's why there were so many superheroes, created and placed my their makers in their respective hometowns as guardians to the world.
Alright, this is the ultimate and primary destination of this post. The Matrix.
Watched it once 10 years back to enjoy it and watched it recently to understand. Superb. Very good spin-off of life. I don't quite understand it totally yet(I still have Reloaded and Revolutions to research) and I really, don't know how to relate and make explanation of it. I can't die dead enough to show you how interested I was in this prophecy-related philosophical life-blender-ing fruitcake.
Believe - This is mentioned after the citation on Kung Fu Panda. In relation to "believing", Stresser had this old post titled I Think I BELIEVE which include Joe Satriani's I Believe lyrics as reference. (am i out of the topic?)
Yeah, everything here today, now, this very moment you are reading is related to the cases told in that link I gave. In The Matrix movie, it shows that what you believe is real and it is the truth unbeknownst to the your perception or the daily life(which is explained as "fake" and "forced-imaginary"). An example, you believe you will fall after the big leap, so you fall. You reap what you sow, in a different way and context. So you believe you can dodge the bullets and survive, you do. Neo(Keanu Reeves) done it with pride and machoness. Just, believe. People also always say "believe in yourself" so why not.
Similar kind of event takes place before one's last breath in its body in this world. You see there are so many dramas showing you people encourage dying people to stay strong and don't give up. Yeah, it really works. That's the conscience humans have. In our subconsciousness, we live and we are controlled mentally(psychologically). You believe you're going to die and end so you let go of your life. So you believe you are stronger than you think you were and opt to stay longer in this Earth, you do and you make the doctors' wallet bigger. This of course could not be applied(in our this reality) if the brain is already dead or the heart not functioning well anymore. common sense la..
More than true, the movie unveils the deception we faced within our world and the matrix. True, we're always deceived by our own perceptions. Daydreaming doesn't apply here, understood. We are merely controlled. In the brain. Thus, disillusions occur. Misunderstanding. False faith. Perversion of the mind. Misuse of the physical entity. Doomed by our visions. Because "you see what you do" and what we do is wrong so what we see is also wrong.
I had this description(not prescription for madness) for Stressm written and that's after I listened to some Buddhism talk by a speaker. It has these accounts on unrealistic desires and expectations. That's also the key to our unhappiness and ungratefulness. We tend to expect too much or assume that we can get the best or better but results don't turn out as what we've wanted and that causes unhappiness. Because we don't get what we want obviously. Reap what you sow, but let's not put the blame ungratefully to solely ourselves. We really can't tell and we're not The Oracle or Nostradamus to see the future. We really don't know well about our limits so, the oranges you plant might not grow as big as you've hoped for. But as explained, the key of "you reap what you sow" is there just that we're not omni-mind-present.
One sickening truth but it cannot be helped, humans like to be blinded. The natural blindness is already there and it leads to find better blindness. All in the Seven Deadly Sins.
So, that's it I have to say more or less in this special edition 21st post in this 21st century written in the 4am of pre-dawn of June 21st. But not posted immediately. Yeah but it is scheduled to be posted at 2100 hours of the day. What significance it has in the number 21? Dunno, just mere awesomeness.
this is a bit disturbing- take a closer look they exchanged faces.
To clear up some facts. heh. I got interested to write on this just suddenly when my speaker blared "cos what you reap is what you sow!", while playing the last line from the song Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine. And you know what, this song is in The Matrix OST. The song was played during the start of the credit.
Here's the earlier mentioned extra "story-telling" which I want to include. This just has got all the examples and real-life accounts of the "reap what you sow" principle. Nicely written, with title that's totally connected too. I got this article from a forwarded email and I would like to share with you readers who are interested to spare some time looking and peering into our life for one short moment. You don't have to make any decision, just read and be amused.
Hopefully this can ignite the sunlight in some of your hearts. Some or one(particularly..) should take note and not go on acting and live a dumb life and be all f* up about others and especially your significant other, learn that you are the one misleading yourself and don't influence others to f* the way with you. Positively, I hope you close connected readers could learn one or two things and cheer up more in life.
Here it is after some minor digression. The Law of the Seed Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."
This might mean: ·You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. ·You'll interview forty people to find one good employee. ·You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea. ·And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend.
When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.
IN A NUTSHELL Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
When Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life: - You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be. - You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave. - Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry! - That's what miserable people do!
On the other hand, let's say you expect that: - Friends SHOULD return favours. - People SHOULD appreciate you. - Planes SHOULD arrive on time. - Everyone SHOULD be honest. - Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen! - So you end up frustrated and disappointed. - There's a better strategy. Demand less, and instead, have preferences! - For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: - "I would prefer "A", but if "B" happens, it's OK too!"
This is really a change in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind ... You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ... but if it rains, it is ok too! To become happier, we either need to change the world or change our thinking. It is easier to change our Thinking!
In summary It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem.
It's not what happens to you that determine your happiness. It's how you think about what happens to you!

[STRESS finally touched down with some thoughts to stress]
It's been almost a month or so since I write a value-added post and this post was in drafting ever since. I don't really think it's any special or impact-driving writing. Precious and productive moments are required in the process of a decent post. Not any near dawn time or in a rush to the bed moment. Yes, this paragraph is written with my rectum very urged to let out a volley of mashed digested by-products...sorry, being too detailed. A moment please...
So as the title is concerned. Pangea. Our Earth. The Mother Earth. The land. Our land. Our world. Our life. A world without borders and boundaries. No segregation. No discrimination. No intimidation. No colonialism. No terrorism. No bloodshed.
Peace. What is peace anyway? What defines peace. What defines war anyway...so what we see everyday now is war..does that mean the neutral state or the zero position of balance is "war". So if this "war" fluctuates(either go positive or negative from the zero position) to "peace", is it good? Have we experienced peace? Or peace rather just means no war. But there's still competition right. There's terrorism like bank robbery and riot in demonstrations. Peaceful? Or let's say everything becomes "good" and "positive", will the human race continue to be productive? When there is no fight, no competition, no striving to be great, no hunger. Eventually, a cycle continues its circle. One feat followed by another and one exploitation followed by mutiny and a scarcity followed by a fight in the market.
I have this discussion with my friend about our world without animosity. He believes that we will all someday achieve peace and when that time comes, everyone is "smart" in the sense that everyone does their own good deed and not meddling with others' property so everything is kept clean and pure. I don't know but in my head(plus prophecy heh), I believe that a cycle would eventually prevail. I always believe everything is a cycle. I study Science too. In this Law of Entropy, it is stated that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. www.entropylaw.com states, "Entropy (the subject of the second law) and energy (the subject of the first law) and their relationship are fundamental to an understanding not just of physics, but to life (biology, evolutionary theory, ecology), cognition (psychology)".
It's a flow. I'm not sure either (or I haven't read about it) on how the energy of this life got started in the first place. Big Bang? heh. So in my opinion, if everyone is "smart", I think there would be no advancement or improvement as there is no drive and no some sort of energy flow into something greater. It's proven in this current human evolution that pride and greed exist. So the cycle will make its turn.
That's a minor digression but it holds a little truth and facts for the whole topic here.
You can read this post in parts over days time. I don't want you to get bored or to have no interest in reading especially if you're just looking for an easy-reading.
[The song in my filefactory Tainted World is dedicated.]
Pangea. www.answers.com states the meaning as a hypothetical supercontinent consisting of the whole land area of the globe before it was split by continental drift.
The Pangaea [taken from www.answers.com]
I would say, I would not be this lucky to come across this word and meaning by myself. It's Mr. Wei Tong who out of nothing and at one night he started disseminating this video from youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KfXlISY6L0 on Pangea Day. So, this whole pangea thing is worldwide spread and it even has a day to be celebrated over.
My mission here is to continue Wei Tong's effort to bring this part of truth of life into you readers.
I will hereby write out the excerpts from this video, primarily the messages from the key people who gave speech.
"You and I, all of us are members of one family. We are sisters and brothers and we're going to sink or swim together." ~Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
"Our modern world is divided by borders, injustice, fear, mistrust, violence, poverty..."~Narrator
"I've also seen the possibility and power when people choose to overcome the impulse to dehumanize the other. I have witness the power let's call it the Pangea Principle when even for a few minutes or a few hours human to human contact can triumph when people to people diplomacy can cut through and show our leaders and all of us what is possible and that there is another way."~Christian Amanpour, International Correspondent CNN
"My late husband loved to fly. And one night, when he and I were alone in the plane, he pointed down to glittering lights separated by shadows below. He said there's Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Israel even Egypt... so close. It's only natural that we should be one community living in harmony together. He knew well that our borders are our own creation. The lines we draw on maps are not drawn on the Earth that he could have imagined in modern day Pangea like today where we're all clustered together in harmony like these glittering lights on this small and fragile planet."~Queen Noor of Jordan
That much only I am able to script it out. Not much anyway, I just kinda go over the edge and the top to bring this topic a little bit edgier with a tinge of philosophy talk in this post.
"You are a part of the great divide, the chosen, or the frozen; Now you're miles away without an egg"~Corey in the Stone Sour track, The Frozen.
[The song Ebony And Ivory is dedicated.]
Love for the earthlings.
We are all sons n daughters of Earth. My belief. I don't care if your god is my maker or my god wants to destroy your god. My father and mother exist from this Earth. They call him/her Mother Earth. I am your brother. You're my father, mother, sister and brother. Alright, if you don't like, we're cousins. So there is love, everywhere.
And I always ask myself and sometimes express doubt to my family members on what is love. Their answers are questions like, "do you miss us when you..." " do you think of us when....." "do you long to ....." etc. I recently gave in to the bottomless quest for the answer, i kinda got drowned when i could not fathom any greater. But then I seek my own answers. I found the little truths unbeknownst to me all this while, that in this great divine of love there lies bond and attachment. You know right, we're all mostly grown up enough to understand this. Hopefully you would if you hadn't. Examples are like I don't bother about my fish but when it started to grow unhealthy or eventually it dies, I would weep and mourn for it in sadness. heh.
There's this another example from a Hokkien movie still showing in channel NTV7(Malaysia). This grown up orphan who had her parents abandoned her at young age hated her mother so much when she returned to claim her back as a daughter. She doesn't want to recognize her as a mother, she ignored her and she ostracized her. But when she found out that her mother was in the hospital, she started to regret. And then someone came to tell her that her mother just passed away. She suddenly broke down and cried. In no time, she rushed to the hospital crying out loud for her mother only to be chasing a van down the road transporting the body to somewhere else.
[The song Eternal Silence is dedicated.]
So love is in the air. Love is even in hatred. An opposite to my light/happiness and darkness/sadness principle(where light prevails from darkness, there can be no light if darkness in the first place does not exist). If I have time, I will write on this happiness and sadness principle of mine in my point of view. It's related to the neutral state or zero position theory of mine. Comparable to Mathematics' Integer topic.
Some people are still good, some people are stressed and some people are ignorant. As you know, we are facing a somewhat tight and tough period with the economy. Inflation. High demand. Low supply. Depreciation. The most significant being the hike in the price of fuel. I am really hit by this, ya know. I don't have any income I don't pay for the fuel I don't own a vehicle but I drive my mother's car and looking at the fuel level drop so significantly fast as if the car drinks fuel like water. And ya, the metre and price at the petrol station as you insert the nozzle into the refueling chamber and pull the trigger. RM2.70 per litre. RM70+ for a full tank pump of 26litres. I have paramount passion in driving and flying you know, and both activity eats petroleum.
So back to topic, with this bad time with our wallets some people actually manage to control the price and bring in smiles and true service to their customers. Some the other way but they are not at fault. I have this experience with a chicken rice stall near my home. Price of rice is also out of control. She actually manages to keep her cool and still being able to offer complimentary add-ons or give discounts. And she's super busy chopping the chicken with the sharp cleaver. Let's say I'm not relating this to the economy. I'd say this is good customer service and true Malaysian hospitality that the whole wide world has boasted of.
I like this quote in which God said, "Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. And prepare your future without fear". I forgot what this got to do with my Global Peace topic here. The reason something shouldn't be left in draft for too long...
So, back to land and sea.
Earth Temperamental Crisis.
A month ago, our Earth saw Myanmar devastated by Cyclone Nargis. So many lives were lost and homes were brought to their rooftops on ground zero. Just not too soon enough, massive earthquake shook Szechuan in China and that's far from over, there were aftershocks which were just as destructive as any earthquake. huh. Angry Earth, that's what I call it. Like scaps off the Earth's skin layer dry enough to shed. Global warming.
Terrorist threats. Supposedly "goodwill force" threatening to intervene in others' administration, power struggle and security. Bombings in Iraq, far from any ending. wth political struggle and fight in Malaysia. Teenagers' angst-ridden massacre at schools. Social divide. Outdated culture civilisation with non-scientific beliefs which is causing the AIDS/HIV spread unstoppable. Horrible, I read one news that aid workers who were sent to provide relief to famine, poverty and broken homes were committing sexual crimes onto the less fortunates, who were as young as nine. That's called humanity, the range of inhumanness.
There's also the nuke war. No, you're not allowed to use them nuclear bombs anymore. So many countries now are investing in these weapons of mass destruction. And there's a country which used it back in the WWII and they advocate on not making them but they themselves have a great storage of them. Yet they are going all around the world threatening to dispose off diplomacy cut off economy ties and declare "I don't like your country" to the others who research and manufacture. Nuclear bomb only looks good in the movies and games.heh
Music has another purpose huh. It could educate and serve people's faith. Music is very powerful. I'd claim god is music. music is god. heh. Yeah, people do make a change either through or by music. Some people go to the extreme. Some people use it to convey messages. Superb impregnable form of expression. I'd say, music is sound. We use sound to communicate like we use our mouth to talk. So music to express. NOT NOISE(if u play Westlife/Beethoven/Ricky Martin/Nelly Furtado simultaneously u get Rock genre, and people label it as "noise").
You can feel the reason. The true conscience behind faith. The real purpose of one embracing a religion to gain faith and show thankfulness. This is not anymore the era of the crusades where people fight to spread religion. Wake up. You can have 100 million people of a religion but do you people do or practise the right thing? I found that the key is love. What's the point of being one in a majority with the aim to eradicate the other minority. Survival of the fittest does not apply in love, at least to me. (ok dun consider dating a girl or mating ok..that's a bit different)
In one of Yusuf Islam's spiritual songs, he sings "How great the beauty of the Earth and the creatures who dwell on her" in God Is The Light. How beautiful we are only to be polluted by our own deeds. It's just a matter of realisation. It's either we insist on doing it wrong because we know it's not right but it feels good or we take time to open our eyes, as a matter of time.
I still stick strongly to Buddhism principles(but I don't perfectly abide by the precepts). My aunt is always my source of information and knowledge on this religion. I've always been very interested in principles ever since my grandfather's soul departed from his body. I have this book which i want to continue reading(but it's a bit boring in the way the stories are being told) that is Dying To Live: The role of Kamma in Dying and Rebirth. Sounds interesting? The unattainable answers are being told in this prophecy-like teaching using stories and excerpts from Vinaya Pitaka and Abhidhamma Pitaka. Sounds familiar? Yeah, hell.. they were mentioned in the Sejarah higher secondary textbooks.
So...Alright...Finally...The end of some scribbling.
Trying here to unclog and release most valuable thoughts kept in my head because time is running out. The clock doesn't stop for us to make decisions so we just have to move on and live with it. Lest the future holds no spare time for me to connect to you interested and interesting readers.

2nd Update - Serious major year 2008 resolution broken. I vowed to be able to run/jog the Botanical Gardens 10 rounds by or in June. I guess I am still stuck at 5 rounds. So wth. I switched my regimen to swimming...so that's it. Sad. Will train at KL, got 250000km(squared) of apron at my study place for me to run around it.
Update - May 4th (Detailed post on activity but tried as hard as possible to be summarised)
The celebration. The party. The honour. The unleash of paradise. The 18th anniversary of the day of birth for our baby Jeesus. To make this update amusing, I will hereby illegally declare a change of name of Andrew Ling(a.k.a N-Drooling) to Jandrew. And of course the addition of Hooi's name.
hehe so many guys' birthdays happening la these few weeks. So my turn, to post on a friend's. Same technique too: Fetched Jonathan at 7.20am. Had breakfast and walked back to house at 8am. Jonathan made distress trips to the toilet at least three times. Driver Mr. CM Jon came and so we made our way to fetch the baby boy at 10.40am. Reached Gurney at 11.30am. Note: Khang Yang for entau reasons he didn't make it to have fun with us. We would to like to apologize to you too for causing you so much trouble in transportation matters in the previous outings. Then, met up with Jandrew. Few tens of minutes later, the group completed its attendance list. We were Jared, Jon, Jonathan, Jandrew, Janicia, Jason and Jeesus. Janicia and Jason are new found friends and they are colleagues to Jon and Hooi. Nice and fun-loving people I swear to Jeesus.
Primary objective: Sushi treat at Sushi King's. It's a Salmon Sacrificial "Selebration". I dared and dealt RM5 to Hooi to eat the salmon which he "lather" very much wasabi on it. He did it. Because we were in dire straits of getting salmons onto our table(because freshly made raw salmons were grabbed like hot asses) Jason performed the Special Salmon Stealth Salvation. tada.. at least 4 or 5 pink-plates of raw salmon. Glutton for raw salmons. Finished lunch at around 2.15pm. The bill's total was less than RM500, more than RM50, less than RM300, more than RM150, less than RM190 and etc. My RM20(2XRM10) vouchers and 10% discount card were shoved onto the cashier's face. Then there's like some other promotion thing so altogether we were using 3 kinds of promotion available to ease the burden. Of course there's additional colourful notes handed by us. Next, shopping. Jason and Jandrew bought clothes. Didn't the girl buy anything? No. Hooi and I window-shopped for Soda men's brief. I admit it's nice, yet it's red in colour. Next, travel to the top floor for our movie.
Sigh, my phone camera was slow that it missed the part he posed with the wasabi-ed salmon. Ask Jason or Janicia for the better and stimulating pictures of him.
[Spoiler ahead]:Lame. Unexpected. Can't even force a fake laugh. Superhero Movie. I wanted and expected the movie to be like Epic Movie or Scary Movie which depict many other movie story lines into it. But it's just plain Spiderman parody. About Dragonfly. What a serendipitous movie for Hooi. He's the Dragonfly as the birthday boy. 2 girls 1 cup is mentioned. It ended at 4.15pm. Know wat, Janicia, Jon and Hooi were supposed to work I think from 5pm. But u know la... mood is birthday party mood who wants to drench their balls in sweat. They took 40 minutes to settle the work replacements. hehehe(grins) Off we went to continue our celebration!!! Arcade was the attraction. wth. I got blessings from Jon to waste some money there. Forgive me, Jeesus. Then showdown of Daytona Racing of Jonathan, Jandrew, Jason, Jeesus and I(Jared). I don't know who got the top 3 but I know I got 4th and that noob last minute accident crash gay got 5th. Saved my ass off humiliation as one of the skilful racers.
NEXTTT! Planning and deciding of the next objective and destination. Left Gurney. Entered Penang Bowl. Haven. Haven't been there since maybe 2 months ago since SPM result day outing game with Joel. To my horror and dismay and chagrin, I can't believe it I didn't get a single STRIKE (X) at all in all two games we played, I kept hitting all but always left one and only hiaupoh a.k.a watermelon with luck and faith would occasionally help me to get SPARE. But I won 2nd place in the last game losing to Jonathan by 4 points. Hahah! Yes, Janicia learnt to play bowling and played for the first time. To my envy, she got a Strike. NOT BADDDDD LO! We also met Teik Hong and Adrian Koay after our game then we left. Dropped Jonathan at McD. Went back to Goodall hawker centre opposite of Peng Hua Chinese Girls High School. Oh ya, Jason left us too. So only 5 who went for dinner together. The orders: Mee Juta, Gu Bak Koay Teow Mee, Wan Tan Mee, (wat did Jon ordered?), Fried Oyster with Egg, Fried Squids(fried? with spicy gravy) and Stingray Panggang.
Next, McDonald's hanging out and dessert sit-in but before that was a long and slow journey with the traffic jammed(because of the magnanimous(tell me if i used this word properly or not, Raz introduced it) hike in price of petrol from RM1.92 to RM2.70 per litre, I share the grief of many vehicled road users) and withstanding of Jon's life rigmarole during which it usually commences when he is stressed by the road traffic. Lots of confessions and lectures on life, family and responsibility. Poor Janicia, super bored and distressed but Hooi and I sat amused by his ramblings because it' s not our first time of hearing his philosophies. Chill, Jon-while the night is still young, enjoy life. Ok, at McDonald's already with 3-filled-to-the-brim bladders except the driver. Poor Jandrew, cold wet and lonely so he changed to his newly bought slacks-so called virgin slacks. So, the orders: 2 Chocolate Sundae Cups, McFlurry Oreo, Iced Lemon Tea(did Jandrew order any ice-cream?) and Vanilla Sundae Cone.
Ok, time to go back to the trees, birdies. We're not alcohol or club revellers. Husband to the rescue. Men's talk commenced after woman's say of goodbye. Short-lived though because the topics were too disturbing to Jandrew. Balik lah...balik lo. Now I hereby declare the revert of the name Jandrew back to Andrew.
Warning: This video contains uncensored disturbing acts and depictions Dir en Grey - Obscure One of the older Vkei hardcore scenes -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I try not to be lame or boring... I don't post so regular right. I was thinking of it, people actually post like everyday or at least regular and consistent. Think of it, I only prepare meaningful posts or at least posts with messages I would like to disseminate. So ok, I think. I am not of the style that post on daily cravings and anticipations. Nevermind, I am here writing a new post which will keep my blog active for a while. You know, once a while lau juak. Merry Go Round..
wth?
Ok. Ting! It's 12am now writing this very line. And it's my friend's day which he will become legal to watch some violent substances, horror flicks and some porn. And yes, legal age to revel in some kind of activity which majority does it under the blanket in different positions and if without protection their parents will be proud to be grandparents soon. Make sense?
I don't have to tell who la..it's kinda obvious if you know his birthday. If not then nevermind, find it out. Friends find their way through. Foes find their way on top. ..nothing... The plan goes like this in 10 hours time. Meet at my house. Make a move. Then hmm I myself am not sure about the beginning of the plan. Then we will have Sushi for lunch. As planned accordingly, a movie will follow. Who knows what's after that? No, sorry, no thanks no orgy. I AM STILL UNDERAGE for your information. oops, sorry for not being discreet. No, underage or not you don't have to bother to find out. This is just a dream. Dream is ageless. Hopes are boundless. But life still take its toll on them because average human lifespan now is around maybe 75 years.
So, hmm there you go. One decent clean post. Nothng eerie. Nothing spectacular. Nothing amusing. Nothing too bright or dark. Come on... look at the bright side. I can't show you darkness whole day long, there's existence of torchlights, matches and light bulbs and and and.. cute/pretty/beautiful/gorgeous girls. They are here to stay to brighten up lives. Agree? What about men? Do they brighten up girls' lives? Yes, we men ...uhoh..hope physics students only understand this. We men do the Lenz's Law, someway or another or similarly. The example would be of using a soft magnet and is it or coil of wire. Then do the cutting of the magnet through the current. eheh, "electricity". Major digression. I was just supposed to say look at the bright side, it's my friend's birthday, the tall and sexy one. 18 years ago, he kicked his mum hard to be expelled through the canal. See, even he looked at the bright side, only to be pulled out by the doctor. He must be dreaming of Steve Vai. Sigh you came to face the stress of life and you handled 18 years with honour. Keep it up, you should be singing, "what is my name?!!! What is my name!!! Revolution is my name!".
