FAITH

ANOTHER SENSABLE ARTICLE FROM RPK-ENJOY AND HAVE FAITH IN YOUR HEART

If I were to say that a certain very senior military officer told me that………..many --in particular those from the legal fraternity -- would say that this is hearsay. If I relate something that someone else told me then that is not admissible as ‘evidence’.
In court, if I relate what I have been told, this is not strong enough. The person who told me that story has to be subpoenaed to appear in court. He or she would have to personally relate whatever it is he or she told me. My ‘second-hand’ version is not acceptable. And he or she has to be a witness to the event. It has to be what he or she saw, and not what he or she was told by yet another party. If not, this would, again, be hearsay.
The same goes for documents. If I adduce a document in court and say this is what was given to me, this too can’t be accepted as evidence. The maker of the document must be subpoenaed to court to testify that he or she is indeed the maker of the document and that it is his or her signature on the document. Even Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had to go to court to testify in a Bank Negara forgery case back in the early 1980s when he first became Prime Minister. Without Dr Mahathir’s testimony that he did not sign that letter and that the letter is, in fact, a forgery, the prosecution would not be able to prove its case and obtain a conviction.
Such is the law of evidence. What someone told you does not count. Even if you can support your statement with a document, that too does not count. The source of the information must personally appear in court and take the witness stand and testify that he or she did in fact say that, or prepared that document, or signed that letter, or whatever.
That is why in my various criminal cases the government chose to charge me under sections of the law where the burden of proof or evidence is not required. Or they chose to detain me without trial where the issue of evidence need not be argued in court. For example, the government says I lied. Yet they won’t charge me for lying -- like for signing a false declaration. Instead, they charge me for sedition and criminal defamation where the truth of the matter is not material to the charge. Even if I told the truth I am still guilty and can be sent to jail.
The government realises that I may have witnesses who are prepared to come to court to testify that they did indeed say what I wrote and that means I did not lie. So, when my lawyers argue about the falsity or truth of what I wrote, the prosecution jumps to its feet and reminds the judge that the court must ignore this argument and just focus on whether I did or did not write what I am alleged to have written (which means I am guilty of a crime) and not whether what I wrote is true or false (because even if it is true I am still guilty).
In court, we dabble at great length on the laws or evidence and about what constitutes hearsay and what is admissible and what is not. And you can get sent to jail just because you related what you were told but fail to bring the teller of the story to court to testify that he or she did indeed relate this story to you. If you say something that is a repeat of what someone else told you, and you can’t drag that person to court to back up your story, then you are in deep shit. You will get sent to jail.
Now, superimpose that onto religion. You tell me that someone told you what someone else told him or her that yet someone else told him or her about what happened 3,500 years ago -- and this story has been transmitted through 140 generations over 3,500 years before they even had pen and paper to record all this -- and I am expected to believe it.
That is 140 generations over 3,500 years. All of them are of course now long dead and gone. So we have no way of confirming this story from eyewitness accounts. And we call it the gospel. Yet when I relate what someone witnessed three years ago and who is still alive and one week ago he told me what he witnesses, that is a lie and I get arrested and charged for this ‘lie’.
Religion, for all intents and purposes, is based on hearsay. And it is hearsay because none of those people who lived 3,500 years ago is still alive today. And they never wrote down what they are alleged to have witnessed. It has all been related by word of mouth and passed down through word of mouth over 140 generations. Have the events and stories the witnesses related 140 generations ago been kept intact these 3,500 years or has over time the stories been corrupted?
They did an experiment once. They asked ten people to sit in a row and the lecturer whispered a story to the first person. The first person then whispered to the second person, who then whispered to the third person, and so on till the last person. It took only minutes for the story to get transmitted down the line from the first to the tenth person.
The tenth person was then asked to relate the story back to the first person and the story the tenth person related was a far departure from what the first person had related. So there you have it. In a mere few minutes, a story told by one person has changed so much by the time it reaches the tenth person sitting in the same room a few feet away. Imagine a story related by 140 generations over 3,500 years halfway around the world. How much of the story remains uncorrupted?
So religion can never be about facts. Facts would be when the witness himself told you what he saw. After 140 layers of ‘mouths’ over 3,500 years, facts no longer exist. And by saying ‘facts’ I am using the standards of the law of evidence applicable in a court of law. Anything other than eyewitness accounts is no longer fact but hearsay. So religion, having happened 3,500 years ago, is therefore hearsay and not facts.
So we need faith when it comes to religion. We can’t apply facts because facts do not exist. How can facts exist when the storyteller has long since died and his story has been passed down by word of mouth over 140 generations? If you lack faith you will reject all these stories. If you insist on applying the proper laws of evidence you will never believe what they tell you about events that happened 3,500 years ago where no witnesses to the events remain alive today.
But we live in a democratic society and if you wish to believe that the moon is made of cheese and that the world is flat and that the sun revolves around earth then that is your choice. You are free to believe what you want to believe. And if you wish to believe that something that is said to have happened 3,500 years ago is true in spite of there not being any witnesses alive today who can confirm these stories then that is also your choice. That is what democracy is all about.
However, we have certain people who believe in what happened 3,500 years ago, in spite of the fact they can’t prove it, and then they expect us to also believe this. If we refuse to believe this they will get very upset. They will arrest us. They will kill us. They force us to believe what they believe and will punish us if we do not.
And this is why the world is facing a lot of problems today. The 6 billion or so inhabitants of the world hold dear stories about what happened 5,000 years or 3,500 years or 2,000 years or 1,500 years ago. And they label themselves with whatever religion they subscribe to. Many have since been killed off. The majority exterminates the minority so those who follow minority religions have long since become extinct.
The majority rules; the minorities got sent to their graves many generations ago. So the religions we follow today are the religions of the victors in the game of wipe out all those who do not believe what we also believe. And we now believe the religion of the victors, not the religions of the vanquished. And this is accepted as the correct and true religions because only these religions still exist while all others have been wiped off the face of this earth.
What is truth and what is farce? We don’t know and we don’t really care because we base our beliefs on faith and not on evidence. And our faith is mostly based on what our parents and their parents before them believed in.
I have met a Muslim ulama who took me for lunch in McDonalds in Washington. He ordered a beef burger and I had fish. He laughed and said he understands that I am from Malaysia so I am just doing the ‘Malay thing’ by eating fish and not any non-halal meat. But beef, even though not slaughtered by a Muslim, is halal, said this ulama of Arab descent who is very senior in the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
I have met a Muslim ulama who drinks wine. Wine is okay, said the ulama, but not beer, whisky or brandy. And he quoted a verse of the Quran to convince me.
I have met Muslims from Morocco who smoke during the fasting month of Ramadhan but will not eat or drink till the sun goes down.
I have met Muslims who only accept the Quran but not the Hadith. And I have met Muslims who only accept 500 of the Hadith but not the 7,000 that other Muslims accept. And I have met Muslims who take the Quran from its allegorical meaning and not from its literal meaning. And I have met Muslims who translate the Quran from Aramaic and not Arabic, which they say is the correct language of the Quran.
So, even amongst Muslims there are many opinions of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. Some even say that Judaism, Christianity and Islam do not exist because all three are actually the same religion and that Abraham’s teachings and not the teachings of Moses, Jesus or Muhammad is the correct religion to follow.
Who is right and who is wrong? That is for you to decide. And since it is all based on faith with no evidence -- in the context of the law of evidence acceptable in the justice system that we follow -- then you decide the right and the wrong.
But don’t force others to also believe what you believe. Most religions impose their beliefs on others. Since, due to lack of evidence, you can’t prove what is right and what is wrong, you have no business forcing others to also believe what you believe which is all based on faith.
If ‘religionists’ can understand this then the world would be a much better place. Malaysia would be a much better place. And those hundreds of millions who were slaughtered over the last 3,500 years in the name of the ‘true religion’ need not have died needlessly.
This, the religionists, can’t seem to understand. And this is because they have this high and mighty and righteous attitude where only they are right and all others are wrong. It never occurred to them that maybe they are wrong and the other chap could in fact be right. Or that maybe everyone is wrong because at the end of the day religion is all about unproven stories told 140 generations ago and passed down by word of mouth over 3,500 years with no evidence to support the stories or evidence to prove that the stories had not changed or become corrupted over time.

外表和实质之间

Pick From Raja Petra Kamarudin -NO HOLDS BARRED, 16TH AUGUST 2009

A friend once asked me whether I consider myself a Muslim. I asked him: first of all, what is your interpretation of Muslim? He then asked me what is my interpretation of Muslim. And I gave him my interpretation of Muslim: one who believes in God, the One God, and does what God commands, which is to serve mankind.

Then you are a Muslim, he said.

I know of people who set up Christmas trees every year and place presents below it and get drunk on Christmas Eve. They may even go to church once a year for Christmas Mass. But they believe that whites are superior to non-whites and the genocide of non-whites is no great tragedy to mankind.

These are not Christians.

I know of people who go to Mekah every time they face corruption charges so that they can pray in the ‘House of God’ for divine intervention in beating the corruption charge.

These are not Muslims.

I know of people who perform the pilgrimage to the holiest of temples every year and yet have scores of murders to their credit.

These are not Hindus.

I know of people who place altars and burn joss sticks every morning in their massage parlours that front for brothels.

These are not Buddhists.

To these people, they are ‘religious’ because they perform the rituals associated with whatever religion they believe in. But that is as far as their religion goes. Compassion and service to mankind is not at the top of their priority list. All their actions are guided by greed, lust, vanity, egoism, arrogance, and all those other anti-social attributes you can think of.

It is time Malaysians stopped ‘talking’ religion. Religion is not in the rituals you perform. Religion is not in the clothes you wear. Religion is what is in your heart.

Some Muslims suffer from a very serious fundamental problem. The problem is they do not follow the fundamentals of the religion. Islam is the religion of ‘there is no god but God’. See the small ‘g’ and capital ‘G’ in the two god words? It is spelt that way for a very good reason.

For that matter, many would argue that Islam is not even a religion. It is a way of life. You breathe Islam, so to speak. In other words, every beat of your heart ticking away ticks for Islam. You do not need rituals to prove you are a Muslim. The fact that you are breathing already means you are Muslim because when you breathe in and then out that breath translates to Islam.

If you do not grasp what I am saying then I can't help you. It just means you look at things from a very superficial and on-the-surface perspective. You need to go deeper than that. You need to feel the pulse on your wrist and be able to say, “This is Islam.”

And that is what happens when religion, any religion, has been reduced to rituals, ceremonies and the manner you dress. You lose the essence of the religion. And this is when we start arguing about trivial issues while we allow the essence of the religion to pass unnoticed.

Does it matter what women wear, or how a man dresses, or whatever, when below those external coverings lurk maggots and worms eating away at our soul? I suppose this is a statement many religionists, Muslims included, would not be able to comprehend.

If we believe in God then we would believe that God created us. And would God play games with us by creating us of different faiths so that we may kill one another? All religions believe in the beginning of time and the end of time. And the Abrahamic faiths believe that we are all descendants of one man and one woman, the first two beings on earth.

Would this not then make us all brothers and sisters? And we may be brothers and sisters who follow different paths to the same destination but is this not God's wish and something absolutely beyond our control?

Who are we to question God's wisdom in making one brother/sister a Jew, another a Christian, yet another a Muslim, and others of the Hindu, Buddhist, etc., faiths? Do we know better what is God's grand design? Dare we shun God's wise decision by shunning those who do not follow that same path as us in arriving at the same destination?

Yes, this is certainly food for thought this Sunday morning in a prelude to the Muslim holy month of Ramadhan. God has said He knows better what He has planned for us. Maybe it is time to not question or dispute what this plan is because surely, if he is really God who is the Creator of us all, He would have been able to create all of us of one faith and avoid all these disputes and killings in His name.

So, whom do we believed at the end? NO ONE BUT YOURSELF

Your Sunday sermon

Pick From : Raja Petra Kamarudin(NO HOLDs BARRED) - 5TH JULY 2009

They say there are two types of people. There are leaders and there are followers. 1% of the people are leaders while the majority are followers.

Within these two categories are further sub-categories. There are good people and there are bad people.

Within the good people category, they can again be subdivided into two more categories. There are people who are good by nature and there are people who are good because they are scared of being bad. If they were not scared of being bad then they would certainly not be good because being bad is more fun than being good.

And within the bad people category there are people who are bad because they are bad by nature while others are bad because they feel they can get away with being bad without getting caught or that later they can always repent and become good whereby they would be forgiven for all the bad they have done.

And this is why people need religion. Religion stops you from being bad and forces you to be good. Without religion there would be no stick and carrot. You get the stick when you are bad and you get the carrot when you are good. It is a form of punishment and reward system. You get punished when you do bad and you get rewarded when you do good.

In short, religion works on the concept of the bribery system. You are bribed through the punishment and reward system when you do bad and good respectively. And since most people are susceptible to bribes they would conduct themselves accordingly depending on whether they wish to be rewarded or whether they do not fear the punishment and do not care much for the rewards.

Over thousands of years mankind has had to conduct itself based on what religion tells them they should do. Religion has been the guideline for our conduct long before the invention of the police force and the legal system comprising of laws and courts.

The history of religion, however, is a history of violence, persecution, cruelty and brutality. In the name of religion mankind has been subjected to much suffering.

The question is who invented religion? And is religion something that God sent us or something that man created to conveniently oppress and suppress fellow man?

I do not wish to engage in a debate as to the existence of God or otherwise. There are some who believe that there is a God (or Gods). Others believe in the existence of a higher power although they are not quite sure what it is and whether God is the correct word to use for this higher power. Then there are others who believe that man is the product of nature and not of a higher being named God or whatever.

I leave it to you to decide how you came to be.

All religions have what we could call holy books. The ‘main three’, also called the Abrahamic religions, have the Old and New Testaments and the Quran. A study of all three holy books would reveal that there are a lot of similarities and overlapping doctrines. You would not be mistaken if you were to think that the three Abrahamic faiths are actually one faith divided into three sects. Of course, these three ‘sects’ are further divided into many sub-sects who are at most times in conflict with one another.

Man has a natural instinct to be bad. But they are forbidden from being bad basically because the religion they believe in forbids it. If the religion they believe in were silent on the issue then most would choose to be bad rather than good. But they have no choice but to be good because they fear that if they are bad they would receive punishment and not receive the rewards promised to good people.

You could say that most people are not good by nature but are reluctantly good. It is not that there are no good people who are good by nature. There are, although they would be in the minority. And you will find that most of the people who are good by nature do not have any religion. Some do not even believe in God. They are good just because they are, by nature, good and for no other reason -- in particular not because they believe in the system of rewards and punishment that religions propagate.

Has religion succeeded in its job of turning us into good people? Or has it instead turned us into hypocrites? How many of us are good because it is in our heart and how many are good because we have no choice but to be good? If religion were silent on what constitutes good and bad and if there are no rewards and punishment for being either what kind of person would we become?

That is something to ponder upon this Sunday. And before you adopt that holier than thou attitude and start moralizing, ask yourself: are you really a good person who has earned the right to preach or are you actually a hypocrite who is not really good but is just a coward who does not dare become a bad person like how you would rather be if given that opportunity?

THIS ARTICLE ACTUALLY SPEAK OUT MY DEEPEST MINDSET WHICH WONDER ME SINCE MY CHILDHOOD. EVER SINCE MY BRAIN WORKED RASIONALLY, I ALWAYS ASKED MYSELF "IS GOD CREATED MAN OR MAN CREATED GOD?". POINTS TO PONDER. THUS I CHOOSE TO BE JUST BE MYSELF. RESPECT THE UNIVERSAL AND BE MYSELF; ANSWER TO YOURSELF NOT OTHERS.

Conspiracy Theory

Origin From RPK : The writing was already on the wall so long ago.
Tranlate by Blogger as Below

冰冻三尺非一日之寒，反贪污委员会以为自己是上帝，他们绑架家人，他们把抓来的人严刑逼供，如果那些被盘问的人不肯合作，他们会以死亡威逼他们。这篇文章已经完成很久了，警钟早已想起，仿佛女妖的悲号，可是却没被人所留意，那是因为《今日大马》触动的警钟，所以没被留意，《今日大马》并非最可靠的消息来源，它无法提供最好的消息，《今日大马》玩弄的不过是谣言和讽刺文章。当反贪污局（目前已经易名为反贪污委员会）绑架了一名警探的家人时，今日大马已经响起了警钟，他们绑架了一名警探的妻儿，因为这名警探曾在比他更高阶助理警阶的指示下，调查一名华人黑帮头子。那名警探不过是在执行他上司的命令，也即是开启档案，调查一宗涉及华人卖淫、高利贷、贩毒和赌博的集团，结果导致三名集团头子被扣留。反贪污委员会要这名警探做的事非常简单，他们要他篡改他的报告，这样的话那三名黑帮头子就能获得释放，如果他要保障他的家人能够获得释放的话，他必须这样做。那名警探拒绝了，而且还报了案，他的妻子也这样做了，可是却没有见到这件事有何进展，这些反贪污委员会官员并没有被捕，也没因为绑架而被拖入法院受审。接着，反贪污委员会向媒体放出风声说正在调查一名高级警官——商业调查局总监，有关他没有呈报一笔两千七百万令吉的资产，其实反贪污委员会受限制于官方机密法令的约束，可是却一点作用也没有。何况，官方机密法令只不过是为了被利用来对付反对党支持者的，而不是对付那些为当权者效命的人。虽然如此，商业调查局中间最终并没有因为那两千七百万令吉为呈报的资产而被控，他被控利用警方资产假公济私，就像是每天堂而皇发生在政府官员、部长和政客的事。可是他真正的罪行是因为他扣留了几名华人黑帮头子，这些人控制了全马的卖淫、高利贷、贩毒和赌博活动。接着，他们逮捕了这名商业调查局总监的代表律师，这些反贪污委员会官员甚至在开斋节前夕来到他办公室，用手铐铐着他，然后粗暴对待他，就像是对付银行抢劫犯那样。为了确保这名律师受到最大程度的羞辱，这种好莱坞式的逮捕手法呈现在办公室中每个人的眼中。《今日大马》曾经写过这些故事，《今日大马》不止把这些故事都写出来，而且还把故事给不断的重复了几次，以确保每个人都把故事听入耳朵。可是这都无济于事，没人否定这些故事，更重要的是，没有人对《今日大马》所揭露的事做过什么？很久很久以前，反贪污委员会就已经成为了当权者的工具。正式来说，国阵有十四个成员党，巫统是联盟的领袖。非正式地说，国阵有十七个成员党，选举委员会是第十五个国阵的成员，大马警察是第十六，而反贪污委员会是第十七，他们的作用即是保护巫统和首相的利益。这篇文章已经完成很久了，警钟早已想起，仿佛女妖的悲号，可是却没被人所留意，那是因为《今日大马》触动的警钟，所以没被留意，《今日大马》并非最可靠的消息来源，它无法提供最好的消息，《今日大马》玩弄的不过是谣言和讽刺文章。「证据在哪里？」他们问道。「证明给我看这具尸体！」他们要求。没证据，也没尸体，也就是说没有犯罪迹象。

事实不然，今天，这里有具尸体，这具尸体是一名非常不幸的华裔反对党成员，他被反贪污委员会官员逮捕，并被虐待。是的！他曾经被虐待，他被虐待是因为反贪污委员会要他说话。可是他却说不出来，他说不出口，因为他无话可说。反贪污委员会要他指证他在反对党的同僚。他们要他株连他在反对党的朋友们各种的罪状，而这些罪状是前些时候反贪污委员会声称反对党所犯下的罪行。他企图解释，他并不顽固；他企图解释，他并无犯法；他企图解释，他不能因为反贪污委员会片面的想象而把各种罪行栽赃在他在反对党的同僚身上。于是，他们继续虐待他，他再也受不了这些虐待，他并非是硬汉型的人，他不过是个温文幽雅的男士，他所想的不过是在这个周末举行婚礼，他所想的就不过如此。他们威胁他说，如果他拒绝说话，他们会杀了他。他泪流满脸，哭泣求饶，他恳求他们不要伤害他。他们威胁他，如果他拒绝说话，就会把他从顶楼抛下，他放声大哭，跪地求饶，恳求放他一条生路。他们把他拖曳过一间房间，打开窗口，接着，大事不妙，那只不过是一场恐吓，他们只是想要吓一吓他罢了，他们并非真的想把他从顶楼抛下，他们只是想让他从顶楼望下底楼时的感觉。这名不幸的年轻人惊慌失措，当看到他摔在地上之前所需堕下的高度时，他突然失去理智。他使劲挣扎，他们无法将他抓牢，地心吸力取而代之，这名青年的生命，风华之年，就此早殇。接着，反贪污委员会宣布，他们早在前晚已经释放了他，他们却无法宣布他们已经将他带离扣留处，反而将他带离这个世界。然后在隔天，它们忽然发现他的尸体。他跳下，他自杀了，他自己了结了自己的生命，他并没有被虐待拷打，他并没有被拖出窗口，他们也没有威胁他说要教训他如何做空中飞人。冰冻三尺非一日之寒，反贪污委员会以为自己是上帝，他们绑架家人，他们把抓来的人严刑逼供，如果那些被盘问的人不肯合作，他们会以死亡威逼他们。现在，一名青年真的死了，可是将不会有人会被法办。没有人会被处分，因为他们会说是这名年轻人自己了结自己的生命的。没有人知道为何他要了结自己的生命，他并没有被虐待，他并没有收到死亡威胁，他并没有被迫从高处望向地面，他并不是因为惊慌失措而导致他们无法将他抓牢，最后意外坠楼的。这就是今天他们将会告诉你我的故事。

Had seen a lot of scene of the above in Movies, does it real?? Only if You trusted the Souces from RPK.

THE ROCK

My Favourite Movie star By Sean Connery & Nicolas Cage. A story about a US General do not agreed with the Government handling his men, took up a plot to threat Government for demand. He said "I came before you to protest a grave injustice", a man who fought for his team.

However, as the general was soft heart to launch the chemical missile, he said "This mission was based on the threat of force, We bluffed. They called it. The mission's over."

His followers disagreed and said " The day we took hostages we became mercenaries, and mercenaries get paid", then started the conflicted and end up the plot was successfully brought down.

Moral of the stories do apply to our daily life. We always do not agree with the happening around us, in school, in work places, in parties, in government blah blah, and then here came a hero, who like to change it over, at the price of public.

We are angry over injustice that happen almost everyday, we wanted to do something about it, and we wish we do have the power of spiderman/batman .... which able to kill them all. But, do we realized this is the system we have build, and we all are part of it. To change it, we need to change from the root, THE FAMILY.

Family values must be implanted. World histories had teached us, extremist mostly do not have proper guidance when they are needed during their childhood. So, blame no one but ourself for the life we are living now. Can we change it?? Yes, start now to educate your child now and maybe our grand grand children will enjoy the harvesting.

Just felt sad for the happening in news this few days. Problem start not by accident, but accumulating of a small yet dangerous issues across the time.

A Walk To Remember

Have you ever been regretted, when walk through the path of life in the past? Regretted on event that you realize at later age, you just can't reverse back the happening? Well, I do. That's with my beloved father. Still fresh in my mind, when I graduated from University and able to stay back in home town, he felt so great as all of his sons were not with him. We do a lot of talking then when worked at home town, understanding more of his thought, life experiences, and more importantly understand how he crossed the South China Sea from China to Malaysia and started his struggling. He taught me a lot about life, from his experience and reading of the 5000 years of Ancient Chinese history.

As I was young, fresh graduate, very ambitious to achieve my dream, putting up a family, planning the betterment of it, I just conveniently ignore the need that planted deep inside my dad's heart.

My Dad had told me plenty of time that he wish to go back with his sons to where he came from. Guess that was his biggest wish and we just ignored it, having taught that we could do it at later stage.

Still remember, before he was diagnose with Liver Cancer, I told him I will bring him back, and that really make his day. Unfortunately, his wish just can't be fulfill as the strike of the Cancer was so acute.

I went back to his home town then after he passed away, just can't believe a house of 20ftx20ft could occupied the family of so many.

Life Go On, even with the regretted path I learnt, and unable to reverse it. So, If you do have some moment, time that you wish to do whatever, do not hesitate, Please DO IT.

TIME WAIT FOR NOBODY

Just try to drop down taught and to remember my dad who passed away 13 years back

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Well, Today is my big day, age 45. How many years to go on my earth journey? It is not important actually, as I had felt the fullness of life for the past 10 years. Love from family, friends do make me strong and felt alive each day. Guess it always came down to what you want in Life.

Read Zhao Xun's blog about life, he wrote down the poem I told him when travel back from Auto City Retaurant Tao (Quiet nice buffet dinner) in the blog. SET IT FREE!!! Wonder he managed to do that? I always believe this, IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING, SET IT FREE. no regret till this moment on this.

Surprise to receive Kok Ang's call on the greeting. Guess he remember more on Saw Lee than me? Thanks Old Pal, We shall go for beer sometimes, we had lost that feeling many many years ago.

LIFE GO ON.

Friends of 80's

FaceBook had helped me to get back friends of 80's. It kind ot mixed feeling about it. We all were happily grouped together in the 80's, then separated. Some went to US, some Australia, Singapore, mostly KL (UKM,UPM,TAR etc). After graduated, I believed all were struggling to build each's family to the best posibble. Then, here we are, children grown up (At lease mine did), slow down the steps in life, enjoyed every foot Steps we stood, and out of surpise, after joining facebook close a year, my 80's keep on poping out. Guess, in future we could easily called up a get together by using facebook. Just felt nice and comfort when heard news from long gone friends.

Still remember last month when wake up early morning, received a text message from Mee Leong saying "Having breakfast at Mama Store and the Store is playing song from alleycat, HINGGA AKHIR NANTI, remind me of the good time i spent with you and Kok ang". What a Friend! Very Very touching.

Bold Vs Courage

Zhao Xun surprise me with the Bold Hair Cut. Look like a monk. But seeing him walked confidently and happily. Well, had to admit he had more courage than me. At his age, we always worried about how friends, teacher, parent, surrounding view us. We always try to behave to their expectation, but deep down inside us, we wanted to do something different. Zhao Xun shown it out, without worried about the comments from us, friends, teachers. If he could stand the pressure at 16, surely he could take up more pressure in future, which is good for him. He really experience life with fullness, without fear and hesitation.

Bought him a Bike, do felt that he appreciated of what I did. Again, I had advancedly done it. Deep inside me, I shouldn't do it as he still techinically disqualify to drive, but when it reflect me to his age, my eagerness to try something new, I decided to teach him openly instead of stopping him. I do not know the consequences which I am going to face by doing this, hopefully it is for the betterness of him.

He is seeing HM to discuss his future. I do hope it will shape him into better perpestive. I only able to encourage him to experience Life, treasure every moments in life, and hope HM able to widen his view on his potential.

He said "Thank You" to me when he received the bike last night. Guess, it is a great moment for him. Fully understandable, but please do have extreme caution when on the Road. Had Been teaching him for the past months on road safety, and I can seeing him do agree with me. Hope this help for his driving experience. TAKE CARE, SON.

Just Some Taughts

It was a hot and humid since yesterday, and with the power out at night, It really test your patient and mind to be cool. Managed to sleep anyway, but wake up early and here I am, listening to Itsuwa Mayumi and pen down some taughts flying in my mind.

How I wish myself to be disposed when earth journey reach the end?? Guess, I surely will like to have my last breath deep down the sea. Imagine, putting on all your SCUBA GEAR, deep hug your beloved for the very last time, slowly deflate the BC and go down with SCUBA Buddy (My Son, I guess), When reach to a point where I am weightless, Look at the surrounding, stared at Buddy for the last time, show him the sign language, and then let go the breath apparatus, Mind flying far far away, brain keep play back my entire life and reflect into my eyes, and then My Journey to Earth came to the End. WONDERFUL. But also hurtful to my beloved wife and son.

What am I going to do for the next 20 years?? Surely to spend it intensively with my wife. Zhao Xun will grown up and will have his life to experience, struggle, to put up a carrer that he wish for, having a family then I guess, have some childrens and grow them up just like what My wife had done for him. Zhao Xun have all the love in family. Sometimes, me and my wife do wonder if we ever have more children, his life will be different and he will have brothers and sisters to share the growing experiences. Again Life is about choices, No U-turn.

How I Like Zhao Xun to Be in next 20 years?? JUST BE HIMSELF and his entirely life. Do not have to follow my path. Life journey to earth to be just a happenning, at particular time and space, we met to each other and share our thinking together, be together and then seperated physically and our taught and expereience will passed on. Everything in this planet is unik to each other, All the while, I passed the experiences (Just like what my dad did), pain, fun, etc in life to him, encourage him to experience it, developed his own mind set, and guess what, I had created a creature which do not fixed into his surrounding, he will be lonely during schooling but then when he is fighting a battle in future, he surely will appreciated the experience he gained at the younger age. He had some friends whom can share his thinking, but most of them just normal friends, it kind of hard. Maybe it is the English Vs Chinese Education background.

That is all. Just a taught, need to go for morning exercise now.

REDANG TRIP

Well, It was a enjoyable trip to travel with friends, family and son's friends. I guess having Zhao Xun to try the SCUBA DIVING really brought his taught to another level. Had been telling him about the fun of SCUBA DIVING. I enjoyed the feeling of being yourself underneath. NOBODY border you, NO WEIGHT, MIND IS FLYING FAR FAR AWAY, NO NOISE BUT YOUR OWN HEARTBEAT AND BREATHING BUBBLES. YOUR EYES NOT ONLY LOOKING AT THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDING (IMAGINE YOU LOOKED AT FISH INSIDE THE AQUARIUM AND YOU ARE PART OF IT), YOUR EYES ALSO LOOKED BACK TO YOUR HEART. SO REFRESH.

Learnt SCUBA at age 24, and crazy about it since then. However, when family commitment called, practically put behind the sport for 10 years. Having the refresh courses at Redang, and it is great and guess this time my diving buddy will me my son. Had to admit, he swam faster than me, last longer than me now, when he hold the breath and dived, it posted the image of me 20 years back. It's kind of sad but also proud of him. Hopefully he could learn to be more analytical in risk management. SCUBA is an serious sports, it required firm self control, responsibilities. When you are underneath, Single minor mistake KILL.

In Life, we make choices on what available on hand, Zhao Xun will need to make choices on what I provided him. I am making choice to do that, and he need to choose which suit his heart most, and then MOVE ON, no U-TURN.

It's fun to deliver my experience to them, they might be able to digest it, maybe not. Hopefully, they can remember it and I am sure they will understand it in due course.

Mayumi Itwasu 五輪真弓

The Japanese Singer Which I Missed So Much, finally able to search back through Internet. Today is such a nice weather, Heavy rain last night and very windy this whole morning. Know the Chinese Name of this singer, have been looking for her album for the past 2 years as she really gave me a lot of comfort during my study in Sitiawan. And this morning, I able to get her Japenese Name Mayumi Itwasu, such a nice name and voices.

Her song really touched your heart although You don't have the understanding of the Lyrics. I do remember during the 80's, a lot of Hong Kong singers sang Mayumi's song in Cantenese Version.

Felt so great to have back these songs/feeling. It really brought me back to the 80's.

Some Jokes From WEB

一个建筑工因严重便秘去看医生。

医生检查之后说：「这很容易，你趴到床上去！」

然后医生拿出一支木棒，使尽吃奶力气狠狠对建筑工屁股一棒。

再抓起建筑工，扔进厕所！

建筑工哀嚎半天，渐渐声音小了，发出快乐的笑声。

心满意足的建筑工走出厕所，向医生道谢。

医生开了处方签，让建筑工去领药。结果，他领了一大包卫生纸。

女药剂师亲切的告诉他：「医师要我吩咐你，以后上完厕所要用卫生纸擦，别再用水泥袋了欧 ^^~~」
