The Great Leap Forward

I saw a huge gap and jump straight across.
Landed and jump
for joy

A long lull

Too busy to write, too busy to think. Will be back in Aug.

The Time of the year

Time is really scarce for the days are filling with tasks and activities to sit down and write, and this will continue for the next few months till mid year.

This time, im going to make full use of my time to work hard and prove that im not living in my wonderland.

Time after time, i've been misunderstood for many years.

Time is near for a new revelation.

Hi, High, HIGH!!!

The past few weeks have been extremely busy. Raffles was a pain in the ass, and Thank god for Farquhar because without him, my life would be worse. The money-minded Raffles was filled with suspicion for simple little things which he had interpreted as some part of a agenda discreet in sorts; he is paranoid! I reckon this happens when one is too in love with love.

Hence, after all my busy-ness, i went rowing in the river yesterday to wind down and cool off from the heat of work. Alone in the river, i began to love life for what it was from the start, the time we entered into this world. The innocence and ignorance of the mind, far away from the complexities of politiking.

I row, row, row and row for a distance, and my arms felt tired and strained. My breathing intensified with a few more strokes. Strangely, i felt happy as this feeling gave me a high, like a drug but is not. It seems like one dont need drug to get high, an act, event or situation can be high as well.

WE are THe World

Drain the Brain

This afternoon, i met Drain in the tea house, who is from holland. It's a rather interesting name as drain has many different meanings. It can interpret as a small canal; to withdraw or draw off gradually; become empty; etc. It's interesting because, at least i find, that this word also meant of a small canal, of water from sewage, or any other ditches, that flows along.

Of course, the meaning of his name is not meant as that. Frankly, i'm clueless. However, i do noticed his mind work in a different manner. His expression is consistent throughout the conversation; he do not failed to provide a frown even when told a joke. This made me wonder why he isnt laughing. Hence, i inquired and do you know what i was told?



Answer: His brain has been drained since young from laughing in school by the education system because the society believes life is misery. A mentioned of this name and the smile will appear. Seems like people are still living in the dark ages...


Did you find the name?

Petals

Petals

Even when you tear its petals off one after another,
the rose keeps laughing and doesn't bend in pain.
"Why should I be afflicted because of a thorn?
It is the thorn which taught me how to laugh."
Whatever you lost through fate,
be certain that it saved you from pain.
A Sheikh was asked: "What is Sufism?"
He said: "To feel joy in the heart when sorrow appears."
