For the first time in my life....... i strike 4D!!! HUAT AH!!!
Although it is just a consolation prize, but I am already so happy about it. I'm actually not a 4D or Toto gambler. Last weekend I just want to buy some number & I don't expect that it really "open"!
Definitely a great start!! Must try my luck again soon!! Hahaha...

Move on with Time..
According to the Tibetan calender, today is a very auspicious day to conduct Medicine Buddha Puja.
Don't ask me why, I also don't know.
How many people will actually question about such spiritual guidelines & try to find out the reason behind all their rituals & practices? Or do they simply do whatever they are told by their mentors?
Do we use our rational mind to analyse spiritual practices or do we simply believe the traditions to prove that we are good followers?
People need to understand that time has changed. Whatever which is considered as a spiritual tool might not even be relevant & realistic in this modern context. A daily item used thousands of years ago might be of no use at all as at today.
Can't we just move on with time? What exactly are we trying to prove??

Don't block my way
Have your way ever been blocked by some people? While you are waiting for bus, looking at something, shopping, then suddenly someone simply cut your way, stand infront of you & block whatever you are doing??
Or when you are queuing, the person infront of you just sloooooowly takes his time?
Or when you are driving & waiting infront of a pedestrian crossing, the pedestrians just slowly slowly walk & cross the road as if they are strolling along the beach?
Isn't this very rude & irritating?
And yet there are so many people who likes to do such things... causing inconvenience to others simply because they have "the right of way".
God bless these people.

You can't prevent what you can't predict
Tonight's Desperate Housewives is great! The ending is a bit tragic for a comedy, but it gets me thinking.
At the end of the show, Lynnette had a dream. She dreamt of meeting her old neighbour at the driveway & Lynnette asked her is she ok, her reply is she is fine. But this time, Lynnette advance forward to ask the neighbour what is really going wrong? Is there anything she could help??
& the neighbour answered:"There is nothing you can do... You can't prevent what you can't predict".
That makes me ponders..
How many times do we take the extra step, move forward & really try to help people? How many people out there really needs help but no one seems to step forward?
Have you ever feel so helpless before that all you want to do is to kill yourself or to shot someone?
& Bre... she shows us what a fucking MOUTH human has. Many modern people infact doesn't think before they speak. Words just pour out from their mouths & they have no idea what to say what not to say & when to stop & shut up!!
Imagine Bre is the one who directly causes all the drama.. & yet she is at home comfortably watching TV report while entertaining her guest with all the goodies.
SO... IS LIFE FAIR???

Is Life Fair??
Is life fair? Do you people believe that life is fair??
I don't think so... I think that life is rather unfair. People are biased by nature... If you are in their good books & likings, you'll get lots of privileges from them. & if your "mentor" is someone who holds high position, waaah then you'll HUAT already loh!!
So, if you want to have lots of favours wherever you go, try to get into people's good books. Pretend to be an angel & starts to PO LAN PA!!

My Collections
I must admit... I'm really a crazy collector! Years ago I love to collect crystals... particularly Black Tourmaline. I have all sizes of Black Tourmaline, from 1.5cm length to 30cm gigantic size (Yes - 30cm black tourmaline is a rare find!)
I gave the biggest black tourmaline to someone who in turn present it to another friend of ours. Till this date I'm still wondering why I gave my favourite tourmaline away? I saw it at that friend's house... he simply leave it besides his bedroom's TV set which is at the corner - a small dirty corner!
If one doesn't treasure such a rare crystal, why do we present to them? They don't even bother that it is placed at such a miserable corner!
Oh well, & the most depressing part is..... I cannot get it back!!!
That really taught me a good lesson - don't give things to unworthy people. Our kind intention might turn out to be misused & effort wasted.
& now, I'm into collecting of holistic statues! From hinduism to buddhism to tibertan buddhism to taoism, I love to collect their fine master pieces. From Lord Shiva to Sri Lalita to Maha Lakshmi to Saraswati to Lord Ganesha to Medicine Buddha to Kwan Yin to Unisa Vijaya to Ma Jor to White Tara to Green Tara... etc etc... I have!!
Ya... imagine how much I have spent all these years. I think it is time to give some beautiful statues away to REALLY WORTHY people... someone who will appreciate your gesture & treat the gifts as their own treasures!!

养生之经，要在自然。
养生之经，要在自然。动不知所向，止不知所为，随物卷曲，随波而流，动而与阳同德，静而与阳同波。其动若水，其静若镜，其应若响，此乃养生之经也。此乃清融己心，入于自然之始也。倘入完美境界，则与禽兽共居于地而不以为卑，与神仙共乐于天而不以为贵；行不标新立异，止不思虑计谋，动不劳心伤神；来而不知所求，往而不知所欲。身立于天地之间，如同枯枝槁木；心居于形体之内，如同焦叶死灰。如此，则赤日炎炎而不觉热，冰雪皑皑而不知寒，剑戟不能伤，虎豹不能害。于是乎祸亦不至，福亦不来。祸福皆无，苦乐皆忘也。
圣人处世，遇事而不背，事迁而不守，顺物流转，任事自然。调和而顺应者，有德之人也；随势而顺应者，得道之人也。
欲观大道，须先游心于物之初。天地之内，环宇之外。天地人物，日月山河，形性不同。所同者，皆顺自然而生灭也，皆随自然而行止也。知其不同，是见其表也；知其皆同，是知其本也。舍不同而观其同，则可游心于物之初也。物之初，混而为一，无形无性，无异也。观其同，有何乐哉？观其同，则齐万物也。齐物我也，齐是非也。故可视生死为昼夜，祸与福同，吉与凶等，无贵无贱，无荣无辱，心如古井，我行我素，自得其乐，何处而不乐哉？
