The Return

It has been ages since i blog, use to be i din have time, thn it's because i dun have the mood, don't complain, Look up on top of the page and Read out loud wat the tittle of my blog says

Today's topic is dreams..ah yes dreams..

Do you have a dream? i have , i dream about it everyday, sometime with dissapointment , sometime with hope, sometime with emotions , sometime with excitment. I dream not of an event or an achievemtns, but i dream of a journey, a journey of fullfilment, a journey till my last breathe.In my dreams, i see the person i dream to be, the decision i will make,the emotions i will feel,the people around me , the character that i am , the things i will do,my believes and even the challanges i will face, As i gaze upon the city nightline, it strucks me that i struggle to find myself in this bustling city, where for many pride and materialism is a relieve from cruel reality, yet it is a city so diverse with many inspiring people, the action seems so near yet so far, I vow to live my dreams day by day, but i know that all is in the hand of god.Many of you who are close to me will partially know what i mean, what my dreams are, and some of our dreams cross and weave togather. I call upon you my frens,no matter how far apart, live you dream day by day, so we might weave our dreams togather into a grand dream we all share.

Hello guys i'm back, sorry for the long silencem been bz working, i;ve resigned already, so am now studying ACCP, aptech certified computer professional, so far, im well and alive. happy i quit my job, cos its really a crappy job, long hours, hard labour..lol no OT, boring..and etc etc, its so nice being a student again, now i realized, tat being a student is great, u are given more liberty and freedom than being in work, i mus take this chance to learn the most i can , son i can demand demand demand from my employee..lol

Today is a fucking unlucky day for me..i went to this CC, drop my mp3 player on the floor..so happens tat im so lucky there is a drainage hole on the flloor..so it droped into the hole...fucking 380 GONE!!!!! oh btw..im employed now..starting on the 25th as Management trainee for AEON BHD.

Sometimes, when you look back, all great the time we had with ppl who we were once close, but now distant, even when u see them , there is nothing to talk about and there is wierdness, sad isnt it, its even more sad if u knew u were partly responsible for it.

Another Crappy boring day.. i hope soon things will be more intresting when i go KL for a job interview, and hopefully it will be interviews! wish me luck guys...start of a new era! lol

Globalisation, a big buzz word isnt it, we've always been preached to that globalization would bring the world as one, a melting port of the world culture, market liberalisation , making the market more competitive and efficient, bring development to all corners of the earth.Sounds all good and rosy doesn't it? but there's a problem! this perceptions is generaly thought by and preached by the more powerful developed countries which are mostly western , it's no suprise tat this is wat most ppl believe , since they are the same ppl who controls the majority of the media disseminating this school of thought, but lets look at it at the prespective of you and me,the less rich and less developed nations, no doubt it would be wonderful to have a composite culture, but the question is,will our local culture withstand a sudden onslaught of foriegn culture especially western culture? are our culture developed enough to take this kind of bashing? or would it errode our value , tradition and social fabric? would it wreck everything into chaos, the more intresting question is, has the average joe on the street developed the mindset and wisdom to handle this sudden influx of foriegn culture and ideas?, or will they be easily influence by consumerism and the media, look around, i guess you would see the answer, it's generally more ok to simply fuck around now,divorce are becoming more common, i certainly don't think tats our asian culture, those pattern awfully resemble those of western culture.see the picture? i'm not saying western culture are all that bad, they have some great ideas like freedom of speech and democracy,equality and all.Not only should us the average joes think which idea is good or bad, which should we adopt, which we should strongly resist, but also, does the idea fit into our local culture context and value? Another key idea of globalisation is that it liberalise the market thus making it's more competitive, thus making it more effecient and productive, but have we come to it, do we really want our local economy to cave in to a so called global "liberalized" market?If we want, we would need to be competitive and effecient in order to survive in a liberalized global market, we will have to work more, increase the pace of our life, no more would you be able to enjoy a leisure lifestyle, more time working, less quality time with family and friends. Ultimately we would still loose in this global liberalized market, because the developed nations already has a head start, in the end society itself would fail, by then we would already loose our idendity, everything would be in chaotic state,we have lost becuase we played someone else's game follwing someone else's rules, i would not dare to imagine that day.Put it simply, would you work your ass off from 8-11 almost everynight, neglect your family, neglect your health so you could afford that BMW that you would rarely use and that big beautiful house u rarely stay in cos u were too busy digging you own grave, following someone's idea how an ideal ife should be.

I don't know why suddenly i'm writting this, it jus came across my mind, mayb i'm too bored =p

As i gaze upon the sky, with a glass of chvias coke in my hand,
enlightment came to me, i realized that i am a slave, a slave to myself,
a slave to my own habbits, a slave to my unwilling self to let go,
i myself who is between me and my dream, yet i blame god.
i promise myself , with the help of god, i will no longer be a slave to myself
i shall do everyting in my powers, i shall struggle to my last drop of strenght
to break free, so i might fullfill my destiny, so help me god

me

Another Boring day...im so bored, i feel so dead, untill i watch West wing, i dunno why ,always when i finish watching west wing i feel alive, the politics , the moral conflict, the legal tension,the tactics , democracy in the working, behind the scene legistation and governance, the debate, the social agenda, it sorta excites me...funny, seriously i find it more appealing than porn, u know wat..if president Barlet , the fictional president in west wing is really as good as he is potrayed , i tink he would do hell of a better job thn Mr cowboy Bush! Man...mayb i'm attracted to the power shown in the series, or mayb i love the drama of "making the deal" through all possible "moral" means, or mayb jus the realistic debate!! This show really relfects my perception of democracy, some politicians fighting for what they really believe, some fightign for their self intrest, some fighting for an intrest group (for e.g certain industries). It really shows the beauty of democracy and also the ugly side of it, how it can be abused, how it can be unfair. just like life....

Quote of the day...
"Grieve not on sadness or the things you can not have, but do the things you desire and be happy, for life is short" - Nicholas Loh

An open prayer

Lord i pray,
i surrender all to you,
Lift me up,
open my eyes and heart,
bring me away from my sorrows,
cleanse away my sin,
give me strength to persist doing the right thing,
give me wisdom so i might understand your will,
give me faith so i'll be forever more in your glory,
set me free , so i might soar high to live your life,
Bless me, so i could fulfill my desires to do great things to glorify you

Today i went to my fren's house for dinner,food was good, met alot of
intresting ppl, what i want to share is wat my fren's dad said, his a
bank manager for maybank, he went to this Christian Business Leader
Convention, Tan Sri Francis Yeo, the CEO of YTL group, one of the
largest listed company with a a combined Market Capitalisation of
almost RM19 billion, gave a speech, he said that it is not easy being
a Christian business man, but it's possible, there is alot of
challange,you first have to seek GOD, he quoted some bibble verse..but
i forgot which one, WOW ! One of the business man i look up to is
actually a christian, and i believe he is not crapping , looking at
his company portfolio , unlike Anandan Krishan, Lim Goh Tong and
Vincent Tan's portfolio , he does not have gambling business or any
other business which is to some standard is socially unacceptable.
Suddenly it jus came to me,if u have desire to make alot of money,
make it big, seek god first, than work on it, he will bless you, it's
not easy, but it is very possible. Your foundation as a christian is
only as strong as your faith.It alawys has been me and my fren's
desire to make it big so we can make the world better, particularly
kch, if god put that desire into us, he will give us the means to
reach it. Kudos to those who has been sucessful but yet has not
forgotten god.
