Reality Bites

Well for someone who has been in a stupor for so long, letting the pampered self to be further spoiled in the lap of unrealistic and unsustainable luxury is a big mistake. To finally wake up to a harsh reality... really bites, doesn't it?

So now you know and now you finally understand. There's nothing much to say but a short 'serve you right' will simply do.... and oh, 'I told you so!'

That's the very reason why I've always said not to let it get into your head. All that wealth (or rather, a perceived wealth in your case) should be regarded cautiously and with great responsibility. It's not all yours for the taking. It's to be shared with the right and deserving ones to create happiness for you and for them alike.

Hope you've learned your lesson well. Guess you now see spending all your doe recklessly like there's no tomorrow just to feed your super inflated ego serves nothing.

See... what God giveth, God taketh... Now do you believe me? You should if you dont want further misfortune to hit you. Am sure that was painful enough, ain't it?

The Food Fiesta Month?

We are a fortunate lot. In our country, we still have plenty to eat. Even during fasting month, we still have more than enough to eat.

Yet we treat Ramadhan as if it's a month for fiesta, the food fiesta. This is the time when food stalls would spring everywhere selling every imaginable variety of food., providing temptation. While we are required to restrain ourselves, some lose the battle, you become greedy, you buy too much, spend too much and ends up you can't even eat them all. Beats the purpose of fasting isn't i?.

Even before the fasting month it already begins... restaurants, hotels, etc... offering buffet packages. Some run to more than a hundred ringgit... as if you could eat all those food that they have to offer. They miss the point altogether. Yet, we continue to patronize them... gladly promoting such wrongdoing.

Moderation is better.

We treat fasting month as a license for us to indulge. But isn't it supposed to be the opposite. To practise refraining ourselves, curb our desire for more. We can afford to waste food now. But with the ever escalating prices of food not to mention the dwindling amount of food worldwide... we may not be able to enjoy all that for long. You may notice that nowadays for same amount of money few years back we get less amount of food that tastes.worse. In short the quantity and quality of food has been subtly but significantly reduced. However we should still be grateful that at least we have food to eat. Spare a thought to the many unfortunate ones inhabiting this world who are constantly deprived of food.

The Psychedelic Blues

The bamboozled psychedelic woman

The Psychedelic Blues

The heart is on the floor

No more energy...
Spent and drained

It remains flat in its moor

Oh, this drifting existence

Lost and unwelcome
The heart is on the floor
For the house is not a home

Sigh, what a bore
Pursue and persuade
Whatever thy destiny
This is not the end

A Peace Lover You're Not, A Coward You Are

I totally disagree with your opinion. Only those who don’t mind being oppressed by corrupted and unfair administration would think like you. And I don’t think it’s just because of the love of peace and harmony that people like you didn’t join in the mass meeting. You are just too afraid actually to rock the boat because you are too comfortable in your comfort zone.

Who in their right minds do not want to live in peace and harmony? To maintain such living environment however, we need to be brave and be ever ready to stand up for our rights. We must fight the corrupt authorities. I firmly believe that those who are against the clean mass meeting are not simply peace lovers. They are actually cowards.

Go for clean? yeah, why not?

I admire the courage and solidarity shown by my brothers and sisters who attended the meeting for clean. And that include those rallyers who are of different race and religion from me. Yeah, so what they are of different creed and colour. We're still citizens of the same country aren't we? So I guess it's not too much then for me to say that they are in fact the heroes.


Good for them to be so bold to try to take the dirty ones to the cleaners.

And for that, I  salute them all!

My Eyesore

There you are regally sitting mere

Time and again in the little corner

With your old chipped wooden body

Underneath plastic cover so dusty

Seaming hems what you mostly do

None empty space because of you

If only you could hear me shout

I would tell you to, ‘please get out!’

How I wish I could drag you away

On rusty wheels you'd go in a sway  

Move on, get out you ugly blot

Just go away and vacate that spot

Make yourself scarce, follow as I say

Do leave and get out of my way

Just let that little corner free

Coz really, it should belong to me

If however you still wish to overstay

Clearly I’d have to throw you away

For no choice you leave the peeved me

Out  the window you’d definitely be

When come the day you are missed

I would innocently say I never noticed

Good riddance, once you're there no more

Clutter less it'd be without you my eyesore

Money Or Your Life?

Why are we so obsessed with money? 

Granted money is a necessity. Without it you can hardly survive. But it borders on absurdity if you get so hooked up on money that you forget to live your life. It’s as if money is more important than your life.

In all your busy-ness chasing after money when are you going to slow down and stop to start smelling the roses? Once you have retired and your senses have dulled? By then your nose has probably fallen off your face or that your sense of smell has probably vanished. You may end up not being able to smell the roses at all.

Or maybe you thought you’ll stop once you have acquired enough money. But how much is enough? It seems the more money you have the more you want. It will never stop unless you yourself draw the line.

It is a pity when after retirement just when you thought it's time for you to enjoy your money to your despair you discover that your body has also reached its retirement. How are you to pursue your dream of being a dancer when all your joints are now stiff with arthritis or that you finally want to fly an airplane but you have now forgotten which is your left and which is your right.

By all means work to get money but do also remember to live your life and pursue your dreams. If money can be finished once it's spent so does your body. When you work too hard your body is spent too and you're finished; sometimes way before your time. That's when you have expired and has no more life to live.

So never lose sight of the reason why you pursue money in the first place. It helps to keep things in perspective. Just remember that having all the money in the world doesn’t mean a thing if you are not living your life. After all you only get to live your life once.

Do yourself a favour. Get yourself unhooked from the obsession on money and start living your life.
