knowing yourself is part of being a better you

after starting my new job as analyst in this mnc bank, i realised my interests and hobbies are quite different from others. up til my music choice. at first, i din really give it much thought. slowly i begin to realise this is part of me. haha... i am going to put up my interest and hobby one by one. til i know myself. i do know myself. just labelling it down might just give me a chance of reflection how can i better at the things that i do and like.

i) i like watching drama. loads of it. be it, k-drama, american series and hong kong drama. i believe i spent most of my uni years watching drama. do i feel a bit embarrassed about it? nope. happy as a bird. some might call it crazy on wasting my best years gluing myself in front of the computer screen. i would say, "it's much better gluing in front of the computer screen than doing nothing at all."

why are we here by ajahn brahma

to learn.

how to learn.

by getting the legs perfectly still. when they are still, the moon and stars are perfectly aligned. just like when the legs are still in the lake; then we can see the water clearly that the fishes are swimming.

food for thought

my learning journey will begin when i start to learn to be forgiving

peace that you are seeking

with the recent chao happening in the country, i find that everyone is feeling angry and revengeful. first thing first, what do you get from retaliation? while others do harm to you, shall you do harm to others to prove them wrong. at times like this, i tend to be quiet. not because i have no opinion. i understand the concept of peace.

peace is always sought inwardly. what others did shall not make an impact on you. hence, in order to restore the peace we use to enjoy, look into yourself. is there something you are not happy about that is causing your uneasiness? when you learn that you are in peace with yourself, that is all that matters.

for those who are causing or inciting the riots, i strongly encourage to them reflect. passing anger will not solve the problem permanently. ask yourself. are you happy with your current state. what can you do to achieve the inner peace.

learn not to listen to others but oneself. then we can start striving for a once, peaceful malaysia.

26 is not just a number, it is an age of self discovery

as i reach 26 in age number, i feel there is a part of me whom wish to learn more about religion. people might ask why at such an odd time. to be exact, the desire to acquire knowledge in the spiritual regard has never been foreign to me. since i was in my teenage years, the thought of reason human exists, particularly myself, appeared. hence, my curiosity to know more about oneself; hence the journey to search for me began.

"to be a better self than yesterday" is my motto in life. if i believe that today i have lived better than yesterday, i will be contented. with this in mind, i decided to take on a year of religious classes. i still continue my usual life : work, social and family. yet, this two-hour weekly lesson is slowly makes me understand my purpose in life better. in addition, this journey is taken with a close of friend, whom i have known for more than ten years. 

it is revealing and enlightening

thank you very much to my friend (ms chong) who introduced this class to me. though i am a chinese banana mentally (classes conducted in 100% mandarin), the yearning to learn myself better hopefully can overcome it all. #language should not be a barrier to learning#

Moderation

“In everything the middle course is best: All things in excess bring trouble to men.”

this phrase is very much needed in malaysia now.

blogger feels the middle path is not necessarily that bad after all. you learn how to balance on the fence without falling.
