Philosophy. Psycology.

Today's class was kinda a drag for me, i hate to admit it. Half the class was falling asleep asleep this lazy saturday morning, for once the morning weather was cool and awesome...i had to literally drag myself out of bed my snooze went on for about 4 times....any more i think i would have just overslept and missed school altogether. But, no, i didn't sleep in class, i still think the old man prof deserved the respect and if he could wake up and get over from american time to give us the long long lecture someone should at least perk up to pay attention, well at least try? :P

I was trying very hard to get him, he was speaking in english but sometimes i wonder if he really was. Not exactly his fault though i guess, the subject is indeed very chim. I always thought philosophy and psycology would be very interesting subjects to uptake, the latter which i have just gone through a module in, i enjoyed tremendously. For now, i'm holding on to my doubts about the former. I think it's just the way of presentation by the prof, not saying he's no good or anything, i guess it's just that, we can't click to what he's teaching. I hope i'll find the switch to click soon, i'm feeling lost already. the books arent helping. i'm reading words but don't make sense out of it. gosh. i'll work harder to decipher it! Jia you! :D

Now to show you something awesome from net surfing today....

so cute can die!:D
(that was what i typed in the google search bar, when i saw this. ahaa.i left the link in the pic if interested;))
the hands are a little distracting though. but isn't the bunny just cute? :DD
( i saw another pic which was just as cute too! i'll share next time! or you can surf up the link on your own;))
but i still love dogs or hamsters more as pets.

mis-understood.mis-interpreted.

Mis-understandings. Mis-interpretations. Miscommunications. All this breakdowns can only lead to one ending if not handled well. Yes, trouble. Nono, don't worry. It didn't exactly happen to me. It happen around me, as in the people around me, used to be kind of a big gang of friends (my operational definition of big is over 6pax) , and no. It is definitely not my beloved buggers, so go figure. ;)

The thing about Humans are that (gladly? sadly?) we are weird creatures haha. Everything in life we do can turn in two opposite directions just for example to say, if one doesn't think enough or doesn't put any thought into things, he is thought as shallow, naive, stupid or what not. But then if a person thinks too much or dwells too much on something they might form up negativity or impressions or ideas that was never there or never meant in that way.

I for one like to keep things simple. Sometimes, simplicity and complication still mixes up together. Though i like simplicity i go about doing things in the a simple yet complicated configuration, ok, that was a oxymoron moment...haha..:p

I guess that at the end of the day after the two case, stories, events which i know of and witness boils down to communication does matter. Trust is very important too, if you were to ask me, even if the buggers ever had any kind of misunderstanding among each other, we would definitely talk things out. I like how we voice, our concerns, thoughts, grumbles etc to each other very openly, at least one other party would know the thoughts going through the others head so that everyone can be well aware and in the loop of things of each others life. And we have that mutual understanding and trust that we never need to say out, that no matter what happens, what disagreements or misunderstandings we have, we have the trust of each other as close as our next of kin that no matter what, they didn't mean to intentionally hurt us. I guess, communicating and trust goes a long long way.

If ever your unhappy with someone, the best thing to do would be (well, in my opinion) go home take a shower and go to sleep. When you've calmed down, then talk. Make sure both parties know whats going on, it's always a lost when your angry with or upset or fighting with the other party and the other side has no idea what wrong they have done, wouldn't it be just like fighting a losing battle? No one ever wins like that.

I rather a one day bruised battle to talk out, all the griviences, all the unhappiness, fight if you will then resolve it and be buddies again. Weren't we all this simple when we were primary schoolers?

"I don't friend you. hpmhx!" Familiar? But the very next day or two we would still be playing catching, police and theive, hopscotch and sharing that same 20cent soda.

Simplicity sometimes doesn't always mean being naive, its just really a different approach to seeing things. Give and take. It's a important role in all relationships. Everyone has flaws, superficial flaws ( i snore, you drool) inner flaws (i'm late, your sloppy) see, if you find flaws in others you must look at yourself too. Learning to accept people as they are will let you see them in a better light. yea, i know man.

It's much easier said than done, i for one, only really accept people when i'm ready, and when i accept people truly into my life, that person will definitely stay in my short term memory to long term memory and in my heart forever. :) Just like family, you accept them wholeheartedly, so whatever the grumble you would still love them.

Be simple. Be loving. Be trusting. Be accepting.
Communicate.

words of wisdom.

I usually would never on my own willingness take up chinese articles to read, especially if they are filled with words and no pictures. @-@ faint. hahaha... I'll usually make exceptions if i feel the articles are worth reading, very interesting or written by someone i like or enjoy to read from.

The article below fits 3 of those catergories, and well, mainly it caught my eye because, it was partly written by ashin. haha. (not biasness. i really liked the article, esp the part i am sharing) :)

If you have the time and can understand chinese, read this article, the full article is in the link, i only picked out the part i liked best (if not the post will run all the way to JB).
Hope you'll find it interesting too. :)

(pretty purple flowers:) saw online when browsing through photos of japan, too beautiful not to share;))

學會:在乎你在乎的 人跟事

世界上,你真正在乎的人不會超過10個,你在乎的事情不會超過10件。如果在死前,你覺得最在乎的3個人,你值得他們在乎,然後你最在乎的3件事,你都有做到,那就已經是超級好了。

信:大部分人不開心、不平靜,都是因為要求自己以外的人、要求環境、要求社會。至於,有沒有被世界看到,我覺得那是之後的事,但在這之前,是自己的關比較難過。只要做到百分百想做的,之後是盡人事、聽天命,這樣的好處是,心情隨時很好、很平靜。

不管你現在是20、30或是40歲,唯一的人生原則,只要在乎你在乎的人跟事。20歲時,在乎你在乎的人跟事;30歲時,更在乎你在乎的人跟事;40歲時,更更在乎你在乎的人跟事。

說穿了,人生的基本需求都一樣,你就是會有一點點你在乎的人跟事,那些事滿足了,你就會覺得幸福,那些事不滿足,縱然有遊艇、飛機、城堡,都沒有用。

世界上,你真正在乎的人不會超過10個,在乎的事情也不會超過10件,排出優先順序排,如果在死前,你覺得最在乎的3個人,你值得他們在乎,然後你最在乎的3件事,你有做到,就已經超級好了。人生無比慈悲,才會是這個結果,甚至,只在乎1件事、1個人就足夠。

That's why i love Kuching. :)

Decided to post up a happier post today:)) Head have been feeling a little heavy lately...a little feel...I have no idea why. It's either because after the exam, i haven't unloaded all the info before reputting alot more or its because theres been just alot to know and think about lately....

But anyway. Here's a few of the photos from Kuching (way outdated. took them in jan)!:) Why i always enjoy going back. ^^ The locals might complain theres a lack of fun to see and do, and can't wait to fly out, but i on the other hand though knowing theres no shopping paradise but am always so excited to fly back.

Because.


There's family. :)
(missing second uncle in the pic though...)

Andrea:)

She loves to take photos.
I love to shoot them.
we're the dynamic dream team.
(well....provided shes in a good photo mood.haa!)
Charlene.
You see your little monsters cousins growing up into sometimes little ladies.
Looking o-so-very very cute.
:))
old school toys are always the most fun!
You meet your cousins and always have stuff to come together for.
:)
(no foong...:( and bro cause she and he were in KL)

there's yummy food that only you can find in kuching and only able to be cooked to get that familiar taste by the chan family.
ngoh hiang.
(the picture does no justice to how heavenly it taste. yes, sharks fin and abalone mean nothing to me in comparison.)
Being back at familiar's grandma's home.
:)
back garden, where i used to spend alot of time playing with the big black dog, dongdong.
He went on to the next life last yr.
So no one to play with this trip round, he was as tall as me when he stood up, always bully me by standing up as tall as me! hahaha...I wanted to capture the beautiful sunset sky colours in the photo, it really didn't turn out as pretty as the sky was....it was a really very very awesome sight.
Uncle and Auntie bringing me to eat all the yummillicious food i want.
I have no idea what the real name of this place is called.
I only know it as "lao eya keng" (Hokkien for old kok kok place) i'm guessing that's just a nickname for it....ahahah

But don't judge a book by it's cover.
i love their fishball tanghoon + other balls and stuff soup!!:D
and i'm not one who eats just any fishball...picky picky...lols:P
and i like their satay!
Wetting your appetite already?
yum yums!
Taste different from the ones we usually eat here...:))

The rest of the photos are also of food! ahahahaha....:P
Glass noodles.
litteral translation.
say yum!

TomatoJuey Tiao.A very simple dish, but taste good.
i was so excited to eat it i didn't really care about the picture posing or so. Thus the composition or lack of. hahaha.
Why? don't they have it here?
WHY?
hahaa.


They have the next dish here though.
though to me, the ones here are farrr inferior though. no offence.;p

Kolo mee.
If you haven't eaten this when your in Kuching, i would ask you, where did you really go too?
one last look.

And then lastly.
my all time fave.
save the best for the last.
Sarawak Laksa.
Does it look heavenly?
Taste just as good too.
This is the version i enjoy, the one without the green grass on top.
That one was for picture purpose...haha...:P

As you can see i seldom do food on my blog...so here are some of the more awesome food i would always go for. not abalone, not those so expensive stuff, sometimes it's this little pleasures which makes everyone the happiest.

Little pleasures.
not only food of course, family, friends,relationships, memories.
They don't cost alot but the best stuff in the world.

too sudden too soon.

I'll always remember you as the most sporting, encouraging, doting big brother senior from msl. Thank you for the good times you shared.

Accidents always come too sudden, too soon.

But then again which kind of taking away of a person's life is too sudden, too soon my proffessor once asked me. That's true, i thought. But, when it comes right in front of your face, one would still sigh that he was gone.

You were a awesome person, and i guess, the people above love awesome people and wanna keep them all to themselves....

Rest in peace Salleh. You will be remembered dearly.
good bye.
