HISTORY

I must say, I hate history and don’t enjoy reading them. Yet I can’t resist stopping, because I always believe history is an important asset which craft the world today.

Few days ago, I saw a documentary featuring a voice from one of the survivor of World War II (Japanese Occupation).  It actually showcase real videos of what happen to Japan (the afterlife) after their surrender in 1945. I don’t want to be prejudice in this matter, so I shall not add any comments.

Now, a friend went to Cambodia and took many photos of TUOL SLENG (former Khmer Rouge S-21 Prison) and left me feeling…

History makes me depressed.

History makes me tear.

Because I always imagine what if I have been in that situation, will I be as strong as the women who need to live through the war.

I salute their courage.

I admire their bravery.

PROTECTOR

Often, you can hear a lot of people shouting, “This is my life and it’s none of your business!”

A lot of people thought naively that life belongs to them and they have the rights to do whatever they wanted to. Parents thought they gave life to their children so they have certain rights to manipulate their children future, such as to do this or to do that. But have anybody thought about this in a philosophy way? I grasp the meaning while I was on the train heading home just now. I don’t know if readers believe I am right, at least I thought it should be correct in terms of philosophy.

If life really belongs to oneself, or even belongs to the parents, then why can’t we control the length of our life?

If life really belongs to oneself, or even belongs to the parents, then why can’t we control sickness and diseases?

If life really belongs to oneself, or even belongs to the parents, then why can’t we be what we want to be?

In a matter-of-fact, life belongs to no one.

Human beings like us, only a protector to life.

When god gave us life, once the time is up, we’ll only have to return the life to the originator.

If this is so, doesn’t anyone think we should live together harmoniously every day?

我们因该彼此相爱，珍惜每一天。

DEFINITION OF BEAUTY?

Have you all ever wonder the definition of beauty?

When I was little, I thought beauty is when people approach you, asking you to be their friend.

When I was teens, I thought beauty is when boys ask you out on a date.

When I was sitting on my comfy sofa an hour ago watching a documentary, I thought beauty is not all about exterior of a person but more of the inner cultivation.

My emotions overwhelmed me while I was watching the documentary. It was about conjoined twins where some are lucky to be separated and others weren’t fortunate enough due to complicated issues in the jointed blood vessels. My tears burst out and I sat at the balcony at the end of the documentary, thinking, about how lucky most of us were even though we don’t have enough riches and show-off status.

To the conjoined twins, beauty is not heavily relying on their physical appearance, but of high percentage what talent they can showcase and how independent they actually are. They can live the same life as how normal people live, except, there are unique methods they actually use to live. While others thought they are pitiful to be conjoin, conjoined twins never have such pitiful thinking. To them, if this is how they were born, there must be reasons that happen this way which they learnt to accept and make full use of it. They have learnt to live in the eyes of prejudice people, and they believe they have grown stronger because of this.    

And today, I have learnt a lesson…

To have the courage to accept the reality; Unfortunate might be a blessing some way!

TOO MUCH WEDDINGS

Been tired and broke lately. I reckon is because of the numerous weddings I went to for the entire June. This year, I’ll probably have to attend another 3 more weddings which made it a total of 8. Honestly, food at the wedding dinner is basically the same. It only stays in the question of good and not-good. So, I am actually quite sick of all the 山珍海味 at the moment.

I have been in-and-out of so many hotels this June, that for the dinner itself, I can probably make a ranking on the food-cum-hotel service. As a conclusion (I don’t think it is nice to 说太白on the hotel names as some are 5-star hotels yet the standard was not there), I PERSONALLY thought ‘Copthorne King's Hotel Singapore’ is among the best in terms of food and service. At least, they serve hot food and wine is never shortage. Check them out: http://www.millenniumhotels.com.sg/copthornekingssingapore/

Although I must say their location was quite offsite, it was absolute worth it when the food is served.

I need a break and more $$! Haha!

THE COLD

Office has been cold throughout the past two weeks. Colleagues were saying they brought their winter jackets to the office and afraid of being the laughing stock, they only used it to cover their legs. I, in turn, said I will bring the gloves. My fingers are freezing.

Did I say which country I am in now?

This is hilarious.

LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION

i lost a bit of inspiration last night just by a sentence someone commented out of a blue.

just like the description of my blog, i think i still have a long way before i grasp the meaning of

learning to smile, learning to forgive, learning to let go
