On one of the last trains out of Sillypore
I pondered in silence
Surrounded by the monotonous melody
That came from the lonely railway
I ask myself on the love for travelling
Do I still harbour hopes of finding an oasis
That will keep me happy forever
I pretended not to know the answer
Even though it was always there in my heart |

5 May 12 - Happy Vesak Day!
The first thing I did on 5 May 2012 was to eat my dinner (at 0005hrs) after a long long day in office. While I was woofing down the rice, I suddenly realized my hunger and the suffering that comes associated with it. I wondered how many people in this world were hungry at that moment and how fortunate I was to have food and spiritual nourishment so as to keep me going.
May all sentient beings be free from fear and suffering.
May all sentient beings be free from guilt and jealousy.
May all sentient beings be able to walk the path towards englightenment.
May all sentient beings be well and happy.
Happy Vesak Day! :) |

29 Apr 12 - 5, 7.5, 29, 2012, 9 and 60
Life is often made of numbers. For example, we finally re-visited Tanjung Balai after 5 years of procrastination. I also happened to have 7.5 eggs in the entire day of 29 Apr 2012. Will I get my confirmation letter after spending 9 months at work tomorrow? Last but not least, my weight finally went passed 60 kilograms since last Friday! |

4 Apr 12 - 3 Hours And 46 Minutes More To Go Before Waking Up For Work
Time now is 0214hrs. I think I must be out of my mind. Worked in office for 12 hours, reached home late and did some more work again. Anyway, I better sleep soon because I got to wake up in slightly less than 4 hours so as not to be late for work later. At least I will be seeing Pee Pee in the City of Angels soon.
For all those who are hungry for new reading materials, please feel free to read my recent trip (with Mum) about Batu Pahat/Muar. Enjoy.... Zzzzz...

1 Apr 12 - "Running" Behind Time
Good morning (at 3am in the morning) and I hope everybody is well. A quarter of 2012 had already gone by. Time literally passed by so fast that I think I am always running behind it. But at least I managed to start my blog about Batu Pahat/Muar.
BTW, I recently got an email from an internet friend who had previously read my blogs. Prior to this, she last emailed me in 2009; that was like 3 years ago. Well, at least there is someone in this universe who is reading all the crap I am dumping into the virtual world.
To this person (you will know who you are when you read this): Thanks! Your email certainly made my day!! |

12 Mar 12 - Weekends Are For Sleeping?
My sincere apologies. Had to admit that I have not been too prompt in updating my blog. Life as a corporate rat somehow sucks all (if not whatever that is remaining) the energy out from me. If I was not visiting Pee Pee in the City of Angels, I will be spending my time hibernating through the weekends (and sometimes even Mondays!).
But anyway, I managed to avoid sleeping my weekend away again by going (yes, in true backpacking style) to Batu Pahat/Muar (Malaysia) with my mother. The former was especially significant because it was where my mother was born more than 67 years ago. Did we manage to find the house where my mum stayed? Stay tuned as I will write a blog about this trip!

20 Feb 12 - Observing This Empty Feeling
Just got back from the City of Angels (i.e. Bangkok not Los Angeles) after a 4-night stay. Felt really empty. Perhaps I was (already) missing Pee Pee and wondered when will I meet her again. I will observe and remind myself that Dhamma shall be my greatest guide to life. |

24 Jan 12 - I Ate As I Could. I Slept As I Could.
Due to Chinese New Year celebrations, I managed to get 4 days break away from work. Apart from volunteering at the Prisons, I spent most of the time hibernating at home eating and sleeping for as much as I could (i.e. strictly none of that new year visiting crap). Watched a couple of movies by Thai independent director "Apichatpong Weerasethakul". I thought it was a great rest. But somehow, I was never contented as it would end some day. |

15 Jan 12 - 11.5 months Left For 2012
Faster than one could shout "Happy New Year", 2 weeks of 2012 had already flown past like it was nobody's business. I tried to cross into 2012 as if it was just another normal day. Was fairly successful by sleeping through the long (not as long as I wanted though) weekend.
I used up the first weekend of the year by giving Pee Pee a surprise by appearing at her home (in the City of Angels) on her birthday.
Although another tough week of work followed after I got back to Sillypore, I was glad that we had spent quality time together. I missed her but I try to observe my feelings constantly. |

Feeling
lost? Having a "mental blog"? Don't know what
am I talking about? Perhaps that is precisely what LIFE
is all about. What goes around, comes around. Check out
