Random

Well, exams over. I don't know what to write about. So, I'll just post some pictures.





Nothing much about this little guy. His name is Papi a.k.a. Baby. It's just a translation from Hokkien. I haven't seen him for 4 months now. Wonder how is he doing, behaving or mischievous as usual. Above are just a few random pictures of him showing off.

Second Chance

Have you ever wondered whether you made the right choices/decisions in life? Or have you been blaming yourself over the decision you made few years back and regretted living the life at present. What will you do if you were given a chance to go back and re-live that life? Though it sounds absurd but there are some logic behind it.

When you realize that your life is a failure, you blame everyone, especially those around you. Those people close to you. However, you never take a good look at yourself. It is you who made that particular decision because you were once given a chance to choose and you have chosen. The path might not be as good as the other one but it does not mean that your life would be better by taking that road.

Will you re-live your life if you were given a chance? I believe the answer is yes. But you will soon realize that your present life is too precious to give away because every moment counts. Their impacts are such tremendous in a way you can never imagine. Your memories are your treasures. So, always keep them close to you. These memories of yours, your childhood, your birthdays, your parents, your love life - they do not come often and some, you can only experience it once in your lifetime.

For those parents out there, I believe this is part your experience, and nothing can be more precious than seeing your own flesh being born into this world.

"The first moment when you hold your baby, and you didn't know anything can be so small so delicate and you feel the tiny heartbeat, and you know that you couldn't love anything more than the whole world. And hope that you can do right and always be there to catch her/him when she/he falls and nothing ever hurts her/him - broken arms, bad dreams, broken heart. "

Quoted from "17 Again"

Think twice

Politics in Malaysia have been boiling hot. Since the change of administration, instead of focusing on developing and fulfilling their promises during the election, they came up with excuses and trying to tarnish the reputation of the previous administration. True but not supposed to be done openly and daily.

Indeed, the whereabouts of the taxpayers' money are utmost important but improving the current economic situation comes first. Though by nature, corruption will eventually destroy the empire from within. Thus, before engaging others, reorganizing our administration structure is a priority. However, there are times for change in rules. Reorganizing is not a simple task and therefore, diverting the attention to other matters should be the wisest choice.

A battle that takes 10 years to achieve victory is not practical and a wise general would eventually realize that engaging in the meaningless battle would only bring upon misery and suffer to the battalion and the people. Thus, looking for alternatives and try to engage other possible methods would be advisable. Looking for faults without adequate proofs is similar to digging a hole by the beach. When the sea current rises, everything will eventually be swept away.

Turning your back on a country that provides you benefits is foolish enough to lead your entire nation, perhaps into a state of desperation. It is similar to turning your back against your parents. As far as I know, no one is that foolish unless he/she is ready to live independently. It is also of similar cases when an employee betrays the trust of his/her company. Thus, instead of creating havoc out of something small, be wise and make use of the relationship to lead to the expansion of the empire.

Consequences

I have been staring at the moody sky for a long time now. Without myself realizing, my mind wanders off somewhere; to a realm of fantasy whereby the world belongs to me.

Then, you will start to understand why everything goes with a consequence. The world is fair, just and ready to dissolve your problems. However, what makes it ugly is mankind. The lust for battle and power, the unstoppable streak of insanity, and the little darkness in the heart that constantly consumes your guilt.
A never-ending streak of war has been plaguing mankind since the birth of our very own planet, Earth. But, till today, there are people, family and children being targeted on the battlefield. Why? Are they merely tools, pawns that you can simply direct in order to determine your victory? Or maybe as it is always quoted, "sacrifices are needed for the development of a better future." Or should I say, "these are all craps! What you see in front of your eyes is the slaughtering of your very own kind."
The victory that comes with bloodshed should always be honored but what good is that? In the end, people respect you because they fear not because you are worthy to be respected. With different approach, there will be different consequences. Life will never be the same if you walk a path less traveled.

FAMILY

Sometimes, I felt sorry for for my parents. Being over 40, still they are working really hard to earn a living, to feed us, to sustain a family and to provide us with proper education. It is really hard seeing them, rain or shine, out there.
Until one day, I realized how important family is.
Father And Mother I Love You.
There tend be arguments and fights in a family, but what is important is the needs to understand the feelings of every member in the family. Don't go around harboring hatred for you parents for scolding you because they too are trying their best to help you, to guide you down the correct path. You might regret your action one day.
Learn to speak up and express your feelings. If you talents lie in other fields, tell them and make sure they understand. Though every parents hope is to see their children excel in education, it also their hope to see their children excel in the fields of their interest.
Do realize one thing, life never ends. It is a continuous cycle of birth.

Life

Sometimes, when the machine stops functioning, only then will we realize how important it is. We tend to take things for granted. Ignoring the facts that behind the comforts, there is a price to pay. Similar to our lives, we will never know when it will suddenly stop functioning. Thus, knowing that our future is unpredictable and complicated, yet we just live by the rules though it is meant to be broken.

What is life without challenges;
What is life without a little adventure;
What is life without love and sex;
What is life without embracing who we are;
What is life without living to our very own expectation;
What is life without having fun;
What is life without having a life.

Life is simple but complicated. Just like a maze, you choose your own path, walk your own life and decide your fate. Sometimes, you will get lost in the middle of it, but by conquering your fear, you will be able to survive to find your way out.
