true or false?

this is something about religion that i find it very interesting...

Someone asked a monk about this:
You certainly think high of Buddhism. I suppose you believe it is the only true religion and that all the others are false.

He answered:
No Buddhist who understands the Buddha's teaching
thinks that other religions are wrong.
No one who has made a genuine effort to examine other religions
with an open mind could think like that either.

The first thing you notice when you study the different religions
is just how much they have in common.
All religions acknowledge that
humankind's present state is unsatisfactory.
All believe that a change of attitude and behaviour is needed if the human situation is to improve.
All teach an ethics that includes love, kindness, patience, generosity and social responsibility,
and all accept the existence of some form of Absolute.
They use different languages,
different names and
different symbols to describe and explain these things.

It is only when people cling narrow-mindedly to their particular way of seeing things that intolerance, pride and self-righteousness arise.

A Second Chance

the American industrialist Henry Ford said this...

Genius is experience.
Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent,
but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives...
Some are older souls than others
and so they know more...

the reasons for my gratitude

yea you asked me why should i say thank you
i would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity
during the last whole week
i've learned alot
by having outings with friends
or maybe friends of friends
this is what you'll get by meeting new people in your life...

firstly
i met somebody who has a great passion in music
spoke to somebody who believes me
and reassure me to pursue
whatever in my mind
that i have the quality to go on
walk along the path that all men disapprove

next
i met somebody from taiwan
sounds religious but not that serious
she is really cool and outgoing
a virgo who talks and laughs
and looks into your eyes so sincerely at the end of the conversation
no matter its under the stars and umbrella
or its under the blazing hot sun
i shall thank you for allowing me to join something i will surely appreciate
and yes i did

friendship stays fresh and long enough
when you know the way to reach mutual respect

and then
here it goes
where i got the chance to speak to the typical otaku
and here's a piece of advice that i would like to give
brains may and may not be everything
so before putting your life at risk
why not insure them with something presentable?

i'm sorry if i am too over
and i'm sorry for not being able to attend the photo-shooting session on sunday before your departure
i'm really sorry to let you guys waiting
lastly,thanks!
oh ya... its for YOU... who are reading this!

fly

how high can you fly?
how high can i fly?

when will you fall?
when will i fall?

that's the question to be ignored and
keep flying~~

"wisdom"by confucius

There are three methods to gaining wisdom:
The first is reflection, which is the highest.
The second is imitation, which is the easiest.
The third is experience, which is the bitterest
~ Confucius


The superior man is satisfied and composed;
the mean man is always full of distress
~ Confucius

(p/s: thanks Hui Leng for the notes!)

thanks for walking by my side~

i am really glad to know that there are people following my blog out there
i always doubted if anybody reads it..
thanks for reading and i am hoping to get more feedback from you...

really grateful that i have you.. you.. you.. and you...
i am starting to like ktt and the people more
people like lim susu who will pk songs with me till midnight during the exam week ^^
v k who taught me so many stuffs that i cant teach myself
lilian who is able to tell real funny jokes
mei yi for always being so helpful
wei lin for helping us to save rm 50...haha!
the "pinky gal" ,"dancing queen" and little vimala who acted more like my sis
my "brother" who sent motivating words in japanese
daksh who is always talking non-stop and yet informative!!
my tweety bird who makes me laugh all the while by imitating somebody...lol
two little cuties joan and joanna smiling along the corridor whenever we met
bing en with her "Japanese look" and wong with his "Chinese look"
cheng who intended to kill me for fooling him during the 1th of april
and many many more people whom i must respect
all those topmost students in malaysia...
cant believe it that i am here
right here with them!

i am lucky
i would consider...
having the opportunity to learn and to listen
to walk by their side
and having them be by my side...

to be frank
i will learn nothing without stepping out of my home sweet home
i will experience nothing without going through those days in NS...
where you have to take good care of yourself no matter what happens
make yourself look tough and confident while doing those strenuous activities
mingling with people of different wavelength
see things from a different perspective
getting more skills and knowledge out of the book
and so on...
so if you are selected for NS...
why not go and have a try??
let's think about the good points of it and you will feel better after all
let it be and enjoy every single moment there
no matter it brings joyful tears
or even grants you a bitter pill..
do you know how does it feels when you got the chance to get hold of a real gun??
that's really cool!!!

even if you are not selected for NS
you can still learn many things by going out of your house or
the alternative is to go online
but then, be wise to search for the best for yourself
i am sure everybody has their own way of learning and understanding and then
growing...
life is ever changing
and the only unchanging fact
is changes itself

i learn by talking to people and LISTENING
just like what i did yesterday...
listening to linda really enlightened me
in many ways...
listening to my roommate, housemates...about anything and everything...
listening to people with the same wavelength
and sometimes different
with my sis, dad, bro,friends all over malaysia~~(hehe...ai seh~~)
just like eating different dishes or a wide range of food
in order to eat a balance meal each day...

people might say
i dont like talking to people whom i dont know
or people i dislike
of different colours, attitude or habit...
i cant understand...
i cant communicate...
i cant give a positive feedback...
i cant do this
i cant do that
maybe we shall put it this way
not that we cant
just that we dont want
we simply refuse to understand and to learn...
we can actually!!
we can do what we want to actually!!!
with the good intention
we shall achieve that!

to be success
it is a task
and not a dream...
there are so many things to do
sometimes left undone
how do we know which should be done first and then...?
lim susu taught me this(its from a motivational book i guess)~~
THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE CATEGORISED INTO 4 GROUPS:
1.important and urgent
2.important and not urgent
3.not important but urgent
4.not important and not urgent

for example, for a CEO...
the phone is ringing in the office...is it important??but its urgent right?
shall he pick up every phone calls
or shall he leave the job to the secretary?
i am sure he has more important stuffs to settle rather than picking up a phone..
tell me if i am wrong k...

for many people,
friends might ajak to go mamak in the midnight
or somewhere else where you usually go lepak...
shall i go??then you will ask...
is it important?
important to what i wanna achieve?
is it urgent??
you yourself will decide!
but sometimes, there're exceptions...
like friend who you treasure a lot
those TRUE friends, i mean!
dont worry!true friends will start to appear as time passes
those who still care for you
keen to know how have you been lately
not forgetting your big day
and leave you bundles of surprises no matter how busy they are
willing to listen to you
giving negative feedback
though it hurts, sometimes~~
just for the sake of your own betterment
and one more fact that valid in all cases
true friends need not meet each other everyday!!

i have only 2 eyes
a pair of ear
a nose and a mouth
nothing different from you all
we made mistakes, and we will learn from it

we both have mind
some opened
some closed~~
lets open up your mind
lets share!!

all human beings will have a "ruler" in them
to measure to what extend they can do something
i would believe...
but we shall not measure others using our own ruler...
coz they will have theirs...

i might be wrong in some way
but i am learning the right way..

i dont know what is the best way for us to communicate
but i hope i can give you the best out of my very best
through this square screen~~

life's short, like a candle in the wind
live high, touching the stars in the sky~~
(p/s: though it doesnt rhyme, get the meaning and live high k!haha!^^)

all the best!!!

a piece of advice from a senior~~

to all the juniors(those who just got their spm results) out there,here's a piece of advice ~~

1.DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
A. DECIDED(very good)
B. NOT DECIDED YET-proceed to form 6 (which is equivalent to A-Level, which is what i am taking now...you may ask me if you are interested)

2.DON'T EVER HESITATE TO CHOOSE ANY OF THE SCHOLARSHIP,SIMPLY APPLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, and then, CHOOSE THE BEST OF ALL IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO.

3.ASK! THOSE WHO ARE MORE EXPERIENCED
for those in CCS, i would recommend all teachers, especially Pn. Goh! she has the ability to see through you and tell you what you can do and should do! getting a piece of advice at all times is no harm afterall right?? so, talk to her!!

4.ITS NOT A MUST FOR j SCHOLARS OR ANY SCHOLARS TO GET STRAIGHT A1S for SPM
you might heard someone say it is a must..but from what i have seen, its NOT!
so dont worry about that! that's just a passport, a licence, a piece of paper for you to get to your destination..once you reach there, you wont need it anymore.
but then, you must make yourself "QUALIFIED" to be one of them first...if you are qualified, then no worries~~

5.HOW TO CHOOSE THE PATH THAT I WANTED??
ask yourself these questions!
-dealing with what makes me happy?
-what can i do for the society?
-how can i make the earth a better place?
-what makes my parents happy?
-life's short,so what i would like to achieve before everything ends?

** dont ever ask "can i do this" ? coz IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!

i have heard this from my brother...
one of his friend has already decided what to do in the future...he loves word art and can draw quite well and he plans to fly to Taiwan after spm.He thinks he can earn a living without studying all those redundant subjects in spm,but with his talent in art~~
he is "admirable" in the sense that he has the strong will and confidence to give up academically,almost all subjects in spm and due to the reason stated above...
the irony is that~~
if this is the correct way, why dont an international sprinter with such a pair of super strong leg mucles chop off his hands since he knows he can earn a living with his well-built leg??
think~~~


be wise be cool
get your ticket and fly high!!
wish you all the best in your future undertakings!

p/s: dear juniors, pls dont hesitate to come and talk to me or leave any message if you want to!^^
