Lowest Low ......

Guess the lowest low have at last come to me.... Sitting in front of PC and after a hang over from last nite clubbing. No plan, no direction, not knowing what is next. The only thing in me is fond memories and thoughts that fly around me.

Been many years and finally the closing chapter is here. People always said a closing chapter depicts the starting of another. I would have to agree with that but the matter is how long is the waiting period before the start of another? While waiting for the new chapter, we are unsure of how many more tear drops needed to be dry up.

I guess no matter how positive I want to be, there are still time where things just could not be positive anymore, at least for a short period of time. Life shall still be the same with or without anything or anyone in this world........

4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2007.

Turbulence Time

In times of turbulence in the global economy, things has been so uncertain. With all the subprime issues, political issues as well as crude oil prices fluctuating like no body's business, its so volatile. Investment has seems to be like a big gambling house in the market. Yesterday we see the KLCI drop below the 1000 points, and today it went up again. Hmm.... volatility is uncertainty....

With all these volatility, some of us has start to get numb and being used to it. While there are certain people who are still trembling about what is going to happen next. Especially with the political tension that happen in Malaysia currently.

Well while everyone is anticipating what is going to happen with the market and all, I have started to get used to it. Affecting or not, these are all just economy cycle that everyone needs to go through. Along side with that, I have another turbulence that happens in my humble life.

Building up and down. Then coming back again and letting it off again. Up and down again. Such a big and short fluctuation as it is coming nearer and nearer. At certain point, I could not really anticipate what is gonna happen next. The latest victim in me is that I was caught off guard without any signs that its gonna come again.

It hits like a big wave coming my way, but the wave seems to be getting softer and softer everytime it comes. Maybe, it has been hitting for like uncountable times that I have nothing to feel anymore. No doubt tears does crawl slowly down from my wet lil eyes, it seems to be easier to accept than before. Things has changed, time has changed too. Experience after experience is what I have been able to gathered. Maybe this is the bottom low of the cycle. Hence awaiting it to goes up again.

Although I am very sure the small turbulence in me will be going up again, I am sure it would be a slower growth and steady one as compare to previous volatility. Slower growth as in now coming together with lot more experience to rebuild whatever that has been shatter before. Steady as knowledge learnt could be used on the rebuilding process.......

While all of us are anticipating......... we shall anticipate it together and wait......

p/s: Wondering what is my small turbulence is... hmmmm... for me to know and for you (the reader, if any) to find out.....

" The Condition to Love is to Love Unconditionally " - EdDiE wOo

LOVE is a word so large in its meaning that hardly anyone would understand and practise in this new era of Information Technology. Most of us are so engross with our cold hearted piece of square box. Chatting, profiles and knowing friends on web are so common that we have almost lost human touch in getting to know a person (at least for the first time). Even towards someone we've already knew so long; like our parents and siblings; some of us hardly even talk when we are back home. Some, find it difficult to connect to their love ones, friends, parents, brothers, sisters, colleagues, and even their boss or staff. Have we forgotten the meaning of LOVE or that we never knew how to LOVE in the first place?

All of us living in this world has been given "UnCoNdItIoNaL lOvE" at least for the first 9 months in our journey in coming out to see light for the first time. We have been taken care by our mum in their wombs; carrying us around, protecting us, making sure we have enough to eat & providing us with their blood. Most of us then were born and been taken care of as an infant until we grow up and become more independent.

The independent stage has mould many to become self centered, ego, jealous and win-lose attitude. Zero priority are been given to parents who still work hard even when their age is catching them up fast. It is this time that alot of us as a son or daughter of someone that forgotten about how we came about in life. Have you talk to your parents today? Have you smile or even say "I Love You" to your parents, siblings or close friends today?? For this I would have to feel ashame of myself too. However, I would make an effort to talk to my Mum everyday at least. On what is going on in my daily life.

So, you people out there, move your butt from your chair and make some connection with everyone in your house and your friends when you meet them. Start to release unconditional love to everyone and you shall be guided to the most beautiful part in life.
