Sufferings !!!

Life is full of suffering- that's what buddha says about life!!!

It make be plough deeply into this sentence to find out what he actually means. Especially so after the castastrophy took place just beneath our eyes.

To age, to fall sick, to eventual death is all part and parcel of life, had we ever wonder what if we are going to die tomorrow?? but does that mean that those who die in the tsunami escape the cycle of aging and to fall sick?? i wonder...

I disagree with the statement at first, thinking that how can everything be suffering?? Aren't there alot of things that are making us happy, friends, parties, movies, music, sex etc... I post this question to a venarble(monk) and he ask me this - how long does each of this happiness last ??

It was really a word of wisdom that left me pondering again. I eventually find that all happiness are shortlive, after every happiness or even orgasm, we will fall back into the state of suffering. Thinking that why the happiness or the events that lead to happiness can't carry on forever and we start brooding over it, that is when we start to suffer again.

Some of u may not agree with me, but well, thats what i think and this is my blog so it don't really bother me!!

Anyway let me leave u with this:

What is meant to be is meant to be, when it is time to let go do let go... it's not easy but when u master and understand that, life would be much more meaningful and less suffering to you !!!

May all be bless by the triple gems, may all be well and happy!!! Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!!!

The Dead Relives

First i would like to dedicate my deepest condolence to the families of the people who died in the recent tragedy. Well, this event left me thinking alot......
Is life really so short??
Is end of the world on its way??
Is is that human are getting their retribution??
When would it be my turn??
i guess these questions cannot be answered in a logical way, perhaps spiritually may be the solution. We buddhist always tok about karma, is this the retribution of bad karma?? no one knows... it will be left unknown...better it is left that way... i do not want to know...
let me leave with this for those who read this... Everything is possible, but is it likely ?? (think abt it)
May the triple gems bless all beings!!! Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!!!

Missing Life !!

I am so full ... arhz ...haha Just had 3/4 plate of Fish & Co. seafood platter. I think i will be full till tmr night haha. It wasn't as nice as b4 ... but still alright larh.

National day round the corner... wishing my beloved country Happy birthday, darn i got to work on that day. WHat to do ... shitty shit shit.

Life seems so routine recently, no amazement, no surprises, simply NO LIFE!!! I guess that's something i got to give up in order to persue my interest.

I miss my Friends
I miss School
I miss Projects
I miss Cutlet One
I miss Cutlet Uncle
I miss Sheng's jokes
I miss Q's Lameness
I miss biz Lab
I miss Slacking
I miss Saffron
I miss Soccer
I miss Lectures
I miss Tutorials
I miss every single bit of everything I had but did not tresure...

Haha ... i guess many of you out there have the same sentiments, don't ya ... haha

Lastly i end off with a quote for you guys to ponder " We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence , then, is not an act, but a habit"

May all be bless by e Dhamma.

Hatred, Fishy & Suffering

Finally i had my day off, i am so tired out this couple of weeks that i dint have time to blog in. Alot had happen, i am  feeling quite yucky. I failed my driving last week due to the fucking instructor who failed me on purpose.  I cursed him for all i can, can't they just be fair. They are talking about a world of equality, yet all the gals passed and all the guys failed. God damn it, now i learnt that world of equality doesn't exist at all, in true fact, a world do exist but it is known as the world of reality.
 
Work was a bit better, most of my colleauges are a great to have, of course with some bad ones among them but what to do, it is part and puzzle of life. For the last week, I had been descaling and deboning so many fishes, more than i ever did in my entire life. The fish stench on me was so immense that when i am onboard the train, the person beside me was grasping for fresh air. For the first time in my life, i felt fishy. Nothing could help, soap, perfume etc... For once, i salute the fishmongers, how could they take it, my goodness. (haha)
 
I also realise that there are more fatal accidents around, 3 incidents in a few months that i knew of. First from Alvin, then the road infrount of my block, and the worse of all was from my bestfriend, his cousin was knocked down by a bike. She is in serious condition, or rather life threatening, for one whole week she is in comma and need a breathing aid to keep her alife. I don't know what is going through the minds of these drivers and cyclist, why risk the lives of people and themselves. May we pray and hope that she returns to full health as soon as possible. (Sigh)
 
Perhaps all that are signs telling us that life is short and we should live it to the fullest, grap any opportunity that comes your way and strive for the best in things we are pursuing for. Don't wait till tmr to tell someone you love her, because who knows this is the last chance for you to express your feelings to her/him. From my experience, life is also not that desirable as always, but if you feel that your life sucks, and that you are suffering at the moment, take a look around you and you will know you are fortunate after all. Anyway, i had always believe that after a heavy downfall, there will always be a rainbow.
 
With that, I wish all my friends all the best in their love lives, may they all be happy as well as healthy... (Embraced by the Dhamma)

My 1st Blog In

It seems like I am married to my restaurant for the past 3 weeks. A darn 12 hrs daily in the stuffy kitchen guess this is one reason for starting my own blog to vent a little of my frustration, for those who read it, do bear with me yah.

I cut myself again today, it seems to be a daily routine. Luckily I am only on morning shift. I am turning into a chopping machine soon, basically chopping, slicing, peeling!!!

I kinda miss all my frens in poly, to those out there having their SIP, all e best !!!

I saw this quote on the MRT today "Choose to do something you love doing, and you need not work a single day in your Life."It send me thinking about it, how true it is, but in life, how often can we choose something we like? If only things in life can go according to plan. *Wonders*

Another day of work, another day of exhausation!!!

Life is still the same old shit for me, with a little changes here and there. I had half a day off and work only @ 6 in the evening.

Went for taekwondo grading, finally i am brown belt!!! Think will be another few years before turning black. sucky...

I dunno why but i am not really in a good mood today, perhaps stress and pressure are the culprits.I suddenly realise that I am not that young anymore, childhood was like decades ago. I got to know from my friend that it is youth day tmr. For some reasons, the images of my childhood flashes infrount of me. I smiled to myself, how i hope it will never stop. I envy those who are still there to enjoy the moment, or rather i am just jealous!!!

Tmr is on the way, i and forseen it as a tiring day. I would just treat it as a start to a new experience, maybe i will feel that a little better!!

May the Dhamma embrace all that i know, free them from suffering, bless them with health, bestow them with happiness, and last but not least, allow them a peaceful life. Sadhu sadhu sadhu !!!
