Celebrating Merdeka? Not At All.

It's the 52nd year of Malaysia obtained independence from Great Britain. Oh, everyone should celebrate Merdeka then. Not me, as I have awaken to the understanding of how politic works in Malaysia. I realized that as a Malaysian Citizen, I have been deceived by my government for so long. It's a shame to all Malaysian. I have got no mood to celebrate at all. If I were to celebrate on Merdeka then it should be the day for current Malaysian Government collapsed and took over by opposition whom so far seems to be acting right. Enough said, nothing is good enough to share.

Here I want to share a video of Malaysian in sadness.
I believe they feel the same as I do about Malaysia.

Another Joke Series - That's How The Fight Started

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to make love?". "No!" She answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?". She didn't even look at me this time and simply say "Yes". So I said, "Then I Would like to phone a friend".

And that's how the fight started.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?". She warmed my heart with her face expression of sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?"

And that's how the fight started.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat onto the truck, and proceeded to back up into torrential downpour. The wind was blowing at 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back in to the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whisper "The weather out there is terrible.". My 10 years of loving wife replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started.

What Happens When You Die?

Unfortunately everyone dies in this world; it's only matter of time. 99% of us are afraid of dying. Why are we frightened of death? Because we don't know what will happened to ourselves, try to suffocate yourself and see how do you feel when you are struggling to breath? Fear will dominate your thought, because you don't know what is going to happen to you. Humans are afraid of doing or going to a place which they don't understand and can't comprehend with, fear is the right word. Once they find out about the truth and theory behind something they don't understand, they will calm down, in this case they have gotten familiar with their new environment.

So let me tell you what will happen to you when you die. Human beings are a complex of combination of Wood, Water, Fire, Earth elements and most importantly our Soul. We die and the combination of elements break down one by one. Once you stopped breathing, your Wind element will stop working. When your Wind element stopped, your soul will feel the pain of thousands of needles piercing through your body when the wind element strike.

After the Wind element, then the Water element took over, this is when your blood stops flowing through your body. You will feel like you are drowning in big ocean which were hit by storms. I don't need to tell you how does it feel when drowning; everyone of you does swim right? When you first learn how to swim, you will drown for sure and you will never forget that feeling and it's fearful. So you drowned in the stormy ocean in the end.

Follow by Fire element, in the terms of science, body temperature. As you can guess, fire means fire. Your soul will be in the middle of fiery fire, you will be burn to ashes and the pain is unbelievable. Your soul has got no where to run and hide, so you are in tremendous of fears.

After your blood stopped flowing, your body turned hard, which means it's time for your Earth element to get separated from your soul. When the Earth element strike, you are in the middle of an Earth Quake. Way more than 10 richer scales, in fact there is no point of measuring it. You died in the Earth Quake.

Now only your soul is the only conscious you had left. So now, if you were a Buddhist Practitioner and meditates. You can control your monkey mind. You can control your soul very well and your conscious are awake. If you haven't practice meditation and you haven't tamed your monkey mind; at this very moment your soul will pop up where ever you monkey mind is thinking, eg. you thought of your work place and your soul will show up at your work place; you thinking of your love one, immediately your soul pop up where your love one is; then you thought of your death, you were at your grave. You are confused and cannot controlled of yourself and you were stroked with fear.

So basically this is the process when normal people died. Believe me if you believe, believe me not if you aren't. I am only telling you the truth. Better prepare yourself and face the fear. Next article I will tell you how to concur the fear and what you should do after you have turned into only conscious soul.

What Will You Do, If You Were In My Shoe?

I was trying to gather up everyone into an activity, a very exciting activity, never been done from where I live now. Majority of them can do is talk about it and when I asked them to apply it into action, everyone kept quiet and stand away. All sorts of lame reasons and excuses were given to me. Am I suppose to get fuming or keep my mouth shut and turn around and walk? Where are all the team works we used to have? I can clearly see it is falling apart, I wonder how long can it still last? Shall I put efforts into pulling it together again?

I have no reason to be upset because I knew this is going to happen sooner or later but still I am quite a bit and disappointed. Now that I can clearly see the path, be it rotten` disgraced` undignified` etc. I won't give a shit about it anymore.

To All The Sexy Babes Out There

Many of the sexy babes out there in the rest of the world. As a photographer, I have seen some pretty gorgeous and sexy babes wearing some tasteless bikini. What a wasted scene, they could have been such a good head turner if they had put on the right bikini. Not that I am Marketing Executive from this company, nor am I their employee. I just feel that they have made the best bikini in the world. Have a look and try it on and please yourself, don't be shy with your body, feel the proud instead. Please bear in mind that I am not insulting you women. Here I give you:-

15 Malaysia - House

15 Malaysia has been rolling for some times now. I didn't put it up in my blog until now. Watched this episode 'House', it really did reflect what is happening in the society in Malaysia. Let's watch the movie 1st and I will try to explain why the poor in Malaysia will remain even poorer and the poor in China will become the rich one day in the future.

Now, you have seen the movie right? What did you think would happened to that poor Indian family in the end? They have lost their house, virtually everything without a penny of compensation from the developer. Malaysia is a democratic country and you can't do a thing about it! Because the developer has acquired a legal document and that piece of land belongs to them and they have the rights to evict you out of your own house. Now that's the case in Malaysia.

So let us venture into mainland China. It's a communist country, all lands belongs to the government. In this case, it provides better humanity than other democratic countries. Believe me not? When the government are to pick a land for development, all existing resident will have to make way for the project. And the government will compensate the residents with loads of money, exactly the market value of the land to everyone. And the poor suddenly will become the rich. You get it now?

吓倒笑，Where Got Ghost?

Just found out about this movie from Jack Neo. Another hilarious movie, watched the preview, laughing my head off. I want to watch the whole movie, it's already showing in Singapore. Hopefully will get it in Malaysia soon, or else I would have to go for the pirated DVD!

Mann Cream & Dream D'Creme Anyone??

I went to De1st again last night with Hansen, I have failed my attempt to stop drinking again, feeling so bad and guilty about this. However, I met with this couple last night. Lovely people they are. One of them are the legendary business creator for flier distributor in northern Malaysia (Empty Head), the other one are the supplier of men & women personal care products (Mann Cream, Mann Max & Dream).

So I was told that Mann Cream & Mann Max are for men use and Dream is for women. 'What does these things do?' I asked, 'For enhancing your pleasure moment.' I was told. 'KKM approved?' again I asked, 'Yes' and handed me a profile with all the required licenses. Immediately I rise my eyebrows, I then tell myself these things are going to be a hit in the market. In fact they already are, so popular among the Malays.

I Gave Up Me Hair!

Woke up, walked to next room, grabbed my charged clipper. Head to bathroom, look into the mirror and start shaving me head! Funny feeling in my heart when I shaved it halfway through. Unexplainable? Maybe not, it feels like you are loosing something important yet useless piece of shit. You follow me? But when all the hairs dropped on the floor, immediately my heart lifted. Fresh this time, it's like I have finally dropped down the unforeseen-able burden. I smiled to meself in the mirror, what a relieve mate!

I know someone is going to ask me, 'what has hit you?', 'why so narrow minded? why can't you see the big picture?', 'why? why? why?'. I would laugh out loud to them and walk away!

What About Ramadan?

What about Ramadan? Do you really understand what is the meaning of fasting in the month of Ramadan? I don't know anything about it, but I have heard from someone, I couldn't remember who. Most probably from my mate Ehab in White City, London.

Why Islam Lord Nabi Muhamad wants his disciples to fast during Ramadan before they celebrate Islam New Year? This fasting month is not about torturing yourself and go for hunger strike or try to rest the function of your digesting stomach (come on wake up man, that is not going to work. your stomach is not going to stop or rest if you fast, it will convert the fat in your body to energy. it stops only when you die, please don't be silly). From what I was told, when you fast for whole day, you are hit by hunger & thirst and that feeling will took you into roller coaster ride. You are most likely to get upset with minute problem. The purpose of fasting is to train yourself to be a better person, to become a gentleman/lady, by being practicing your level of patient and control your temper when you are extremely fragile in emotion, in this case hunger & thirst. For a month of fasting effort, you would have changed yourself for a better being. And the New Year celebration comes by to celebrate your successful of transformation.

So, that's the meaning of fasting huh? People may wonder and ask, you are a Buddhist practitioner, what makes you think you know about Islam preaching and the meaning of fasting? Honestly I don't but that does make sense, doesn't it? In Buddhism, we were asked to be patient and always watch over our behaviour in all situation. My Lord Buddha Shakyamuni is a gentleman himself. In Buddhism we call this 'Ren Ru Bolomi', like in Christianity. [One who slap the left side of Jesus, Jesus asked one to slap on the right again and ask 'Is it enough?'] before he left without getting angry and emotional. Can you understand why Jesus did that? Because he is the proper gentleman, even facing someone who is hurting him. How many in this world can do that? Almost all will say you are a nutter!

Should I fast during Ramadan? I guess I too should, as GM has urge us to practice the 'Ren Ru Bolomi' init? Wait the minute, even if I don't want to fast during this time of the year, it would be a difficulty for me. Why? Because my family members are fast during this time of the year too and they won't cook! But your family weren't Muslim! Yeah, so what? It's good to you isn't it?

Ain't That Bad Afterall

Since I decided to move back to Penang from London, I have been struggling to keep up with my life. It's hard in the beginning because I have to give up everything I have in London and start up from scratch again in Penang. I told myself, it's ok, I have done this before. Didn't think much about it, just decide and take action. Now I am stuck, why? I couldn't fit myself in the society here, I have gotten so much used to the westerner's culture. I try so hard to compromise, I even force meself to go against my principles, it ain't working. I broke my commandments for that, what a sad scenario.

After two and a half years, I am lost totally. It's like you try to walk in a thick fog with zero visibility, hit the walls so many times. Get up and continue again, so forth. I'm tired now, because I'm getting no where. Thought of what GM used to told us at the preaching, considered so many things. In the end my determination ain't strong enough and then I gave up. I then told meself that since I can't see what is in front of me, no point continue thinking forward; and the bruises, injuries from the path I walked are histories, no point of mentioning it again; why don't I just seat down and wait for the fog to disappear and see what I can do at the moment and enjoy the happening around me? Yeah, what a good decision. Easier said than done mate.

I was watching the series of interview with GM from Taiwan Chapter in YouTube. On series 20-21, we found out about how GM live his life when he first migrate to Seattle from Taiwan. GM's whole family were eating expired food from Safeway or any other Supermarket; no heater during winter and visit Garage or Boot Sales in the weekend to buy used blankets, etc for their poor living which lasted for 3 years. GM hasn't had income for 3 years! They walked to Safeway to buy expired food, that's miles away! I can't bear the thought of GM's family going through this, my tears dropped so does the interviewer.

It reminds me about my life when I was at my low in London. I live the similar life like GM has gone through with my ex girlfriend, except GM's worst than mine. We used to go to Asda, Saintsbury, Tesco, Iceland, etc to hunt for the near expire food, because it's cheap. Been through that sort of life for 6 months before I reach the turning point.

Now that I know GM has been in much more worst situation than I am now, now that I have recall I have been in a lot more worst situation than I am facing now; I feel better and all my worries go away.

Thank you GM that I still have you to look up upon to! Om Mani Padmee Hom!

My Books have arrived!! Finally..

Well, the delivery seems to be faster than expected, which is good. Browse through it, learning and picking up some new ideas and strobing skills. Well worth the money I must say.

我的心很痛！比第一次失念还要痛啊！！

大家会以为为什么我会心痛？而且比第一次失念还要痛！！应为我读了以下这篇文章，关于真佛宗莲生法王卢胜彦。我敬爱的伟大师尊，为了救台湾八八水灾遇难的亡魂，和五十几位顽固的‘黑天使’同归已尽而伤了祂的元气。我该如何是好？

以下此文采之于真佛网路

那是一場驚天動地的超度護摩，一場悲壯的大法會，更確切的說，簡直像是一場激烈的戰役，一場生死拼搏的戰鬥。 現場的那種氣氛使所有的弟子們都看呆了，被那些從未見過的景象震驚了，更被師佛的那種大威神力所震撼！2009年8月16日這場護摩法會，是師尊應弟子們的祈求，特別為臺灣八八水災的遇難者而做的超度法會。

超度本來是很平常的，在師尊的超度下往生淨土的幽冥眾等不計其數，無量無盡，甚至包括九二一的亡靈、汶川大地震的亡靈、二戰的亡靈等等，不可勝數。然而這次的超度卻是最不可思議，也最為辛苦艱難 —— 當護摩的火升起來的時候，竟然出現了黑天使，一個又一個從護摩的火中出現，竟有五十幾個之多！這是從來沒有過的景象，師尊在後來回想時說：“當時我也愣住了，不知道該怎麼辦？”黑天使們要求師尊給他們酒喝，師尊就給了；他們要求整瓶的，師尊就把整瓶的酒倒入護摩爐中！旁邊的弟子們都看得呆住了，因為這是從未發生過的情形啊。黑天使們還繼續索求著，師尊飛速的供養他們許許多多的供品，甚至把手中的戴了多年的珍貴鑽戒也投入了火中！為的就是要拯救水災遇難的亡靈。然而到最後，黑天使們依然說“不行！”，不能超度這次水災的亡靈！這世界上是沒有人可以打開地獄之門超度他們的！任何的法事都是無效的！雖然接受了許多供品，但是他們依然堅持說“No！”

無奈之下，師佛只好由供養改為驅逐，要趕走這些黑天使之後才能去拯救所有的亡靈，然而黑天使們又是非常的頑強好鬪，五十幾個兇猛的黑天使團團圍住師尊。在最危急的關頭，師尊只好使出祖師傳下的秘密大法，用四縱五橫印、雷印、用劍印、用所有秘密的戰鬥之法，甚至使用了同歸於盡的方法，犧牲了五十幾個師尊的蓮花童子替身，直到最後用最猛烈的擊掌法才消滅了所有來的黑天使！

然後，師佛再用無比強烈的頓腳震地之法，破開地獄之門。不是破開一道，而是十八層地獄，重重沖破，就連最後的阿鼻地獄也被震開，才救出了所有水災的亡靈。結果這時發現，這些亡靈全身都是污穢的泥水！慈悲的聖尊再次使用了祖師傳下的秘密大法——淨化業障密法：將水含在口中，奮力噴向護摩火中，連連三次，再加上咒語加持，又用雙手合掌強烈劃出四縱五橫印，才淨化了這些亡靈的業障。

最後，師尊再以大威神力，用劍指在虛空中畫圈寫符，召請所有佛菩薩護法接引亡靈往生佛國淨土，那時候身邊的弟子都竟然聽得到劍指劃破空氣的呼嘯聲。

這場驚天地泣鬼神的超度法會結束了，但是“整理戰場”的善後收尾工作才是更加不簡單的。當晚，師尊入定，與閻羅王及所有的東南西北中五嶽大帝等開會面談，商討“有關的善後宜”。。。

當這場悲壯的護摩結束的時候，所有在場的人們都是面色沉重的，可以說每一個弟子的心都是沉痛的，心痛師尊爲了拯救水災的亡者奮不顧身，犧牲了自己的五十幾個替身，消耗了很多的元氣。記得師尊在離開護摩殿的時候講，“從來沒想過會有這種事情發生！他們黑天使竟然說，要拯救那些亡者，你就跳入護摩火中啊！”師尊說，“爲了救眾生真的差一點就跳入火中！”在場的弟子們聽了都心如刀絞，淚水止不住的流下來。每一個人都滿面愁苦，憂心忡忡，對師父的擔憂溢於言表。

偉大的聖尊就是這樣，爲了不捨一個眾生，爲了圓滿眾生的願，完完全全的奮不顧身，粉身碎骨也在所不辭！在經歷了這樣一場驚心動魄的“超度大戰”之後，心情沉痛的弟子們也在思考，除了悲傷、心痛之外，身為弟子的我們還應該為師佛做些什麽？

District 9

Just watched this movie tonight. Lovely story, absolutely loving it. However, I was left in sadness and confused. In this movie I saw what human beings are. Some of them are greats but very very rare and almost 95% of them are cruel. They became such cruelty just in order to meet their desires, which is endless. I don't know how Buddha try to guide Samsara Realm's lifes to the correct path, it seems like dragging them and climbing Mount Everest without proper hiking shoe, jackets, tents, food, water, tools and etc.

I salute you my lord and my lineage guru.

However though, this movie is still worth a watch. Go and experience how the director Peter Jackson fingering your feeling with his creative yet realistic movie. You got my vote and a double thump's up.

This is for you whom attracts me with just a simple shyly smiles on your face. This is the only photo I see everytime I log into my facebook. I don't know much about you though, even though I tried to find out everytime we chat. But I still feel there are vast area of sea between you and me. We will see, I will use my photography skills to impress you. Let's not venture into the future I'm creating now, let's wait and see.. I will hold no breath at the moment.
