Second awakening
shit, i think i just had my second awakening in the 26 years of my life.
the medicine is definitely doing some shit to me
the medicine is definitely doing some shit to me
I want to find meaning
in all the mundane, routine things i do in life. However, I see that it is impossible. We'll have to look beyond the small things in life and start zooming out at the bigger picture. Having some time thinking about it (partially cos I'm sick on a Sunday morning), I conclude that traveling is surely the way to experience life. It is the fastest way to understand yourself and what we want in life (Solution to quarter age crisis ! I should write a book !)
Maybe, we should all sell everything we have, do traveling for a year before settling down at a destination we see fit.
Alas ! All this is just a dream, i'm going back to the rat race tomorrow.
Oh, there's always an extra passenger seat available

Lessons from work
One important thing i've learnt in the two months is that data don't lie
making the data talk to you
dig deep enough, there's always a solution amidst all the numbers
conclusion: learn to love the numbers

Materialism at a cross road
what is real happiness ?
Recently, I've read an article about how to spend your money to generate maximum joy. Apparently, the article points out the fact that spending on vacations, hobbies and charities brings about more joy than if the money was spent on materialistic entities. That includes car, house, luxury bags etc etc. But why? I ask myself do I really feel that way. And sadly, the answer is no. Everyone becomes increasingly materialistic as they grow older.
A sermon I heard recently also mentions that when babies enter the world (right out of their mother's womb), their hands are clenched to a fist, as though they are holding to something. When people die (the pastors seen quite a fair bit i suppose), their palms are always open, like they have learn to let go and set free.
Is pursuing all these materialistic endeavors really what I wan? I honestly don't have an answer, simply cos I don't want to let go. I have so many wants and a strong desire to acquire all of them. Normally, people say that when someone gives up materialism, it's not because they are really pursuing "happiness" just that they give up. It's like a sore loser way of saying I'm out of the rat race. But, I honestly have seen genuine people who wants out of this chaotic mess and they really seem happier than most of the white-collars.
Life is complicated because we've made it that way. We can make it simple by returning our frame of mind to that of a child. Recall what makes you happy as a child- is it a afternoon playtime with your friends or 6pm cartoons on television?
Why can't all of us learn to let go and just pursue what can makes us happy instead of what we think can make us happy? Easier said than done.
Will see that in 3 years time. peace out

The summer I've been waiting for
at least 10 different people ask me if i'm serious.
I can only smile and do a "haha"
it's between us
all these pictures will stay forever as memories
愛是不保留
盧永亨 詞曲
關心妍 演唱
常聽說世界愛沒長久,哪裡會有愛無盡頭,
塵俗的愛只在乎曾擁有,一刻燦爛便要走。
而我卻確信愛是恆久,碰到了你已無別求,
無從解釋,不可說明的愛,千秋過後仍長存不朽。
誰人受痛苦被懸掛在木頭,至高的愛盡見於刺穿的手。
看!血在流反映愛沒保留,持續不死的愛到萬世不休,
惟求奉上生命全歸主所有,要將一切盡獻於我主的手,
我已決定今生再沒所求,惟望得主稱讚已足夠。
a song that speaks
