my new year resolutions...

it's the time of the year where you start to evaluate all our priorities/objectives/goals set last year and analyse them against what you have achieved so far. hmmm... talking abt goals, i remembered i've made some during my last year resolutions and i guess only about 1/2 made it through although i always hope or greed for more as time is always running out and my age is catching up very fast. sighed!

i told myself to set my resolutions since last week but was too busy hooked up with trips and holidays. i guess those are just excuses! yeah, in life there are no escape routes or shortcuts. you just need to find your way through, either it's the best way or lousy way, you just need to live by your way and principal. they always says that we should all lead by example, the same apply to our life, lead our life not being lead by someone or something else. again a short reminder, life's just too short to be wasted!

sometimes it's so easy for us to say things or put them down in words, but when it comes to executing them, we just shy away or chicken out. "action speaks louder than words!" so to say... (therefore no point putting them down in words here, as long as i know what are them and constantly remind myself of my commitment towards them, that's more than sufficient) this coming year, i dun think i'm going to put too much or trying to do too much but rather i'm going to focus on a few items and try my very best to get the best out of each. it may sounds a bit too ambitious since i want the best for each of them and no compromise on mediocrity then i got to work even harder next year so that what i've just said won't goes down the drain same like the rest of the years. i vow to achieve all of them with all my strength and energy till my last breath... (extremist kind of thinking! muahahahaha...)

a perspective view...

My first and original and natural perspective picture taken while i'm enjoying my holiday at Frasers' Hill. Just right on time when the rain just over and the sun shinning straight beyond the clouds and I was lucky enough to capture a rainbow created on the bottom right hand corner. What a beauty! Such an opportunities doesn't come that often. You need to have to be there on the right time, good observation, steady hands, and beyond all, speedy retrieval of camera from your pouch! :p

What is fAtE ?!?!

Do you guys believe in fate? Sometimes when fate comes is hard to block but when you need it badly, it just won't come. That's wat happen in life... sighed!

Recently, came in to contact with a few instances of fate but i'm not sure whether it's real or what but it just happen, if you noe what i mean. Some ppl sees this as being coincindental but some says u r just lucky or same may even say that there is no such thing as fate! so what should i believe in? Can someone explain what's fate or how's fate like? Is there any signal from above saying that's our turn to receive our fate, so be prepared? Or does fate have some sort of form which we can tell from the way it approach us?

Even science couldn't explain fate coz 1st of all it's a feeling or it's not or it's just a hunch or deja vu or instinct? hmmm... not even the brightest scientist in the world could explain but to either deny it, live with it or just stay neutral. Some say god his own way and it's his will to show us some sort of direction but since he couldn't contact us directly, he use fate to let us know that it's your time now and you should do this and this so that you can get this and this. hmmm....

I guess fate is afterall fate and it's up to us to believe or not to believe in it... for those who doesn't believe it will come up with their own reasons or pespectives to prove otherwise or for those who prefers to stay neutral will keep themselves quiet till fate do sthg to do and they will either believe fully in it or jut continue to be self-centred and finally, for those who believe and want to believe in it, you are probably the smartest creatures among all god's creationg that you indeed realised that it's a message or direction from above that we as a living creature on planet earth should respond to it and brace himself/herself for it to happen.

bravo my friend, u just been through some tough session on "fAtE" related exercises. i won't says it's too tough, it's just sthg all of us have been arguing about and after centuries and centuries, it still remains unsolved and will be a mystery for us and our generations to come.

so do you believe or do u not believe in "fAtE" ?!?!

16 days to new year...

wow... time flies man... just a glimpse and here i'm closing in to the end of year 2005... If you ask me why i'm here, dun tink i could answer that caused even myself not sure why i'm doin here... god knows! ehehehehe...

was going thru my memory chip and trying to re-call some of the events or things that happened during the year 2005, and all what I could retrieved from my old and malfunction memory was blank... nothing... it's that bad till i rather forget them all or it's just the age that's catching up or it's just me with that forgetful memory or it's just too personal to bring them up here... I guess it's a bit of each lump together.

yeah some events are meant to be forgetten and some are meant to be kept as fond memories so that one day when we browse through our memory lane, we'll be able to remember all the wonderful stuff that happen in our life which won't come that often. ugly events are doomed to be forgetten or be formatted, erased and burned from our memory to allow more space for new memory. to create a memory it's an easy process since it can be easily triggered from our thinking or thoughts but to delete them if a super-long-tough process which some managed to succeed while some may fail in doing so. for those who succeeded, bravo to them and for those whom failed, it's just going to be there forever but how dark or painful or silly that piece of memory is, as long as we keep them aside and continue to collect fond memories, they will one day leave us!

as for the age part, couldn't say more but to agree to it since it's taking a toll on everything i do from work to sport to sleep. ehehehehehe... who dares to deny old age? instead of letting them continue to slow us down, we should instead try our best to do our best each time. yeah, i may be slower in my response for some stuff but at the same time, i wiser and matured in my thinking which resulted in a similar or better outcome. but of course, it's very obvious especially when we sees it in our stamina level in doing any sports. when we were still young, anything we dare to do. we are not afraid to fall or get ourselves injured caused all these will only make it more interesting and us asking for more but as years passed by especially when u hit the mark and beyond, we start to take precaution and avoid doing rigorous exercise. as for the sleep, when i was young, i can live without sleeping for the whole nite and i'll still looks good and vigour the next day. But if u ask me to do the same now, i tink the next day will be a hell for me to live in and i'll be walking around like the living dead or zombie. Worst still, if you need to work the next day and all you could tink off in your mind is more and more rest and sleep. your brain maybe be working to a certain extend but physically you just feel yourself being drained off and feel kind of fragile.

Being forgetful has been my strength and weakness for the past year. Strength in helping me to forget those bad days and weakness for causing me to read over and over again for something small which by the time i can remember them, i've lost my patient. Maybe what people say abt you'll only remember it if you think it's something you really want to or like. Muahahaha....

Orh nothing personal here or nothing to hide... if you noticed, i've blurted all of them out right above this paragraph so i'm clean. ehehehehe... of course there are things out there which can only be reached within ourselves and not anyone else. deep inside each of us, there is alwiz a deep secret that we hold on to till our last breath rite? not for me coz I couldn't remember having any deep secret of grudge against anyone which deserved my attention till i need to bury so deep inside my memory even the memory tracker also couldn't find it.

hmmm... guess i've been doing or saying too much things which i'm not supposed to say here or do you really believe them or it's just something each and everyone of you experienced during a certain point in your life? Again, the answere for all of them will remains a secret... ehehehehehe... keep on digging... you may find yourself coming out of someone else nose... muahahahaha...

change...

why do people change? for something better or worse? obviously for something better but doesn't everyone view that change of his/her as something good or bad? hmmm.... depends how we sees it... and how matured and balanced our thinking is when we evaluate that person. so if you gg to make a change or have made one previously, how do you or did you expect yourself to fair after the change? did it really workout or is it still in the process of change? what so interesting about change is the results or outcomes or fruits you'll get to enjoy after that transformation, be it physically or mentally.

but sometimes I just couldn't understand why people change so drastically till they themselves are unaware of the impact of the changes on himself/herself and also the people surrounding him/her. again, it's arguable cause some people may view the change as positive while some as negative. but most importantly that person which overcome such a change do realised that he/she is experiencing such and such due to the change rather than waiting for people to inform them or self-discovery which will be quite embarrassing.

guess change is something which is unavoidable in our daily life as we human trying our very best to adapt to their environment and surrounding, they are required to constantly evolve and make changes to their life so that they can continue to live on and blend in with their lifestyle and people around them. here something i found on the net which i think it's quite interesting to share it out:

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."

so why change?!?!?!

3 months hiatus...I'M BACK!!!

Huh... Was trying to figure out how i should start this post but after traversing on subject like MIA and last post on 31st August, finally got myself an *headache*! Guess i deserved it since i'm the one causing it and as always, indecisive in making my decision. Sometimes a good *headache* may just be the push you needed to make things flow again. Some may wonders whether I'm still alive or am I still at Msia or am I still the same SK or EddY(as what most of my colleagues, x and current known me for), well the answer for all is YES. Of course I'm still alive else won't be here constructing this post. This reminds me of the movie "Bruce Almighty" by Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman where Carrey plays an individual which being honored with the power of being god for a week and he's replying all the millions and millions of prayers by giving a "YES" to all of them and end up causing quite a big stir and chaos around the city. Hmmm... I'm diverting too far once again. Back to my 3 months hiatus... Didn't go anywhere far apart from making some new tweaks to my life, getting to know some nice and wonderful souls and slight changes in my career path. Yeah, made a switched to a new environment. One that's promising which guarantees plenty of room for learning and improvement. Not too mention, get to know a nice bunch of people. All in all, it's been a rollercoaster kind of life for the past 3 months with ups and downs but most importantly is the lesson learned and the experienced gained that counts. Hope it's a good thing for me to make a comeback here and also this place has been my guiding tool when i was still an ametuer/infant blogger. Won't call myself a pro now. Still plenty to learn and catch-up! Ok, hope everyone the best!

P/s: This year is drawing to an end, I guess everyone is either busy planning for their holidays or doing their year end shopping or thinking of a "happening" place for this year closing and opening of 2006 shoutout. As for me, thinking of my new year resolution which always got postponed from year to year... maybe this year I should make it more realistic and put in more effort, commitment and self-disciplined to achieve them rather than just saying them. Life's just too short to be wasted.
