Life....

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight"

"Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward"

"Your life will never be the same again"

My Best Nephew...

Happiness...

Age and happiness, do the two go together?

I know some very happy close circles and I know some very unhappy ones...
Some of them are older than me and few of them are younger than me...
So what makes them unhappy or happy?
The difference is not in age, but in their attitude towards life

No matter what happens in our life, and no matter how old we are, happiness in life does come down to our attitude towards it...

I recently was reading a book that reflected the thoughts of people who have achieved happiness in their life and the common theme with all of these people is their attitude...

They always had a goal, they always looked for the good in every situation and they always had more they wanted to achieve...

So no matter what our age, young or old, remember it is not our age, but our attitude towards life that will bring happiness...

Would you choose to be happier in this life?
(if yes, you'd be getting the best supporter in me)

It Is The Life...

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

.................................................................................

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

.................................................................................

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years"

Thanks For The Dancing

I do know how to start but I'm not sure how to end...
It was all started in Tioman Island, an enticing island somewhere in Malaysia...
It was all began with one decent song of Robbie William "Better Man"...

I don't know who started but I could blame a pint of lager to ingite all this closeness before I was lost in dancing floor when "Better Man" swept the whole night into a fragile moment as we were all swayed away in joy

We danced so close and we dance so slow..
We danced with soul and we dance with glow...
We danced with life and all seemed to be right...

(I was so tempted to say......
while our hearts were flying into the night we all knew everything would be alright......)

(...And I must say this to you...)
A load of thanks for dancing with me...
A pool of gratitude for dancing the night with me...
A ton of gratefulness for choosing me as your dancing partner...

That night our souls were tied up into oneness but I know it'd be over when midnight catched up in style

Good bye Tioman Island...
Good bye "Better Man"...
Good bye Malaysia...
We'll see each other again in Thailand next year
(I'm hopeful I'm still with this company and you too)

It Is How That Matters

"It matters not how long we live, but how"

In Tioman Island, Malaysia, on 26 September 2008, one smart colleague of mine, Mrs. Algie shared this joyous statement that later left me in silence as load of truthfulness implied in this simple sentence

While I was trying hard to digest the full meaning of this sentence, my brain was emptied by a series of cracking vista decorated by crawling sunset and shiny waves that cut my lungs

Suddenly I realised that my life was perfectly decorated to enjoy the most of Tioman Island

In later minutes, Mrs. Algie -once again- asked me whether "Is that true that how we live our life matters most?", I then agreed and smiled

(I'm happy to learn that I've chosen a path to live my life to the fullest with "how")

(I'm happy to learn that age may wrinkle our face but I'll never let myself loosen up with
wish to find the best "how" to live my life)

(I'm happy to learn that lack of enthusiasm would wrinkle my soul so I must shun it in this life)

In Tioman Island I learnt something, a decent insight to confirm my tenet that "with whom" and "how" are the most ingredients keys to my utter happiness

Thank you Tioman Island for the good laughter, decent food and pouring lagers
Thank you Tioman Island for two nights where all of us were blended into oneness
Thank you Tioman Island

(Deep down in my heart I do still believe that Bali has still loads to offer)

Today...

"Today is life - the only life you are sure of"...
"Make the most of today"...
"Get interested in something, Shake yourself awake and Develop a hobby"...
"Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you"...
"Live today with gusto"...

A Series of Don't...

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others...
It is because we are different that each of us is special...

...............................................................

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important...
Only you know what is best for you....

...............................................................

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart...
Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless...

...............................................................

Don't give up when you still have something to give...
Nothing is really over … until the moment you stop trying...

...............................................................

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect...
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other...

Slip Thru Your Fingers

........................................................................

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future...

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life...

........................................................................

It Is All Right...

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly...
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings...

.........................................................

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find...
The quickest way to receive love is to give love...

.........................................................

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart...
Cling to that as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless...

.........................................................

Don't dismiss your Dreams...
To be without dreams is to be without hope...
To be without hope is to be without purpose...

My Loving Grandpa

It should have been a bright new Sunday but I ended up being more than fragile of knowing 20 years ago, on this day, 14 September 1988, my loving grandpa failed to battle his long heart cancer on

Sunday was suddenly calmer than ever...
Sunday was suddenly ended up in purity despite this sunny morning greeted me in cheerful mood as Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers by 4-0 a night before

My love for him has taken me back to the old days...

It was downhill all the way after my Mother texted me pertaining this remembrance, telling me that grandpa has left us two decades ago and reminding me his enormous love will always be remembered

I'm speechless and all I know he is always in my prayer...

If I could continue, it was a reality check I did not intend to go back, although I must unveil once again that I cried a whole loads in his graveyard 10 years ago when visiting a city where his body was finally rested

It was not a moment to savor either but given the amazing moments before heaven called him in sudden, I was there crying for almost 30-miute, relieving all burdens of failing to be with him in his final hours in one of Bandung's hospitals

No surprise if I felt so blessed to have loved by him in this life

All I could comment is his love on smoking might have hammered his heart...
And his love on lager might have futher failed his lung too...

But his love has always been warm and calm in every walk of my life
And he'll be sorely missed than ever


Grandpa,
You might have left us in the past 20 years but your legacy will live on forever for which I'll carry forward your values of hardworking, honesty and immense loyal to the family

We all know, you'll always be remembered for and sorely missed

This Is What I'm Thinking

"I haven't meet you in person, but I listened your spoken words and read your writen words after there days of virtual gatheringand I was pleased with every honesty you confessed"

"I am not sure if I had met you earlier in this life I would have let you go away without trying to bring you into my life"

"That shows you are smart, caring, well balanced, feet on earth"

"Straight away after our relaxing encounter you shared the consequences of what happened to us and how we have to deal with that in the near future"

"I feel there is more to come for us than the best confession you did unveil that shows a great sign of intelligence, caring and maturity"

Don't Set

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...
Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

Don't set any limitations on me because once I have talent...
The rest is down to how much I want it and to how intelligent I am...

Don't set any limitations on you because once you have talent...
The rest is down to how much you want it and to how intelligent you are...

The Winners Do

I don’t want to end any decent hopes of a cloudy Thursday because revival of sunny day remains likely in later hours

Instead, I do wish to clip any enjoyment of relaxing hours by pushing myself harder to complete various assignments of today as the pressure steadily mounts when this bloody busy weekend approaches

To be frank, I’ll always try my best to meet any deadlines with my best pieces of work and this is a kind of me if I can be honest

I’d never shun for any passing good chance without fighting, and if I shall pass by, it does mean that I’ve done my all but my all might be wasn’t good enough

And if this happens, I’ll never regret it in my life

And I know I might fall into the path of bleak mood or vibrant emotion but for very sure I’d make the most of the fortune of vibrant emotion to come out as a winner with joyful heart

I love winning (if I can be honest)…
But winning with heart is what matters most to me now as I’ve been tied up with the spirit of progress, not the spirit of perfection

That’s why I accept any possibilities of making mistakes because mistakes can make us smarter and better besides they are priceless lessons to learn

If we’re faced with shortfall all we need is to pull ourselves up, dust off, sleeve up, learn from mistakes and move on

That’s what the winners do…

Cloudy Thursday

A blemish day was born as Thursday justified the morning with cloudy sky - and jettison sunny day - on a day where load of works will be flooded to my shoulder

The quest of having challenging day began in earnest with a series disappearing look of blue sky, something I’ll always love to arrive but then just for good measure a cup of black coffee from Starbuck saved my mood from demoralizing

It was all so different to previous morning in the same week, when sunny morning opted for load of joyous mood and saw myself danced in blissful feeling

But today appears a different day, although this was just another day of my stunning life for which signs of my aversion of cloudy morning apparently continues to be
convincing in many ways

Things could be different if cloudy morning falls in Ubud…

In Ubud, one cloudy morning cloudy day would grasp pouring rain to help watering green paddies to grow in style and decorate a series of enticing view that could cut your lung

I was there once, back in February 2008, to witness how a casual morning turned into a vibrant day when rain was falling with panache in the morning hours

Suddenly a decent thought of heaven was created in Bali re-appears with aplomb

(still I don’t know why I fancy Bali too much)
(have I lost my soul in Bali so I shall keep coming back to find it over and over again?)

Few...

Few would bet against me if I say God was smiling when creating Bali
