New Chapter of Life

I could not the feeling of becoming a father, but it certainly looking, feeling and analysing things from a different angle altogether.  

Ngarang ngena leka jako senimbal...i.e Alliteration?

Have you paid a closer look at Iban literature? Most of them use a lot of alliteration , i.e. saying things using words that sound alike. And this is common in almost every language I know. In Iban for instance,

Gempanang raja Janang
Ke tau keramat besai
Atong along raja Mikai!

Well I just composed something 'mapap', but you can see that what I am trying to tell the audience is - about this so-called king and his great attribute, and I could have written it in one sentence with a lot less words but I chose to say it lavishly and using many words that rhyme!

Just a thought!

Once in a while... is probably ok...right?

I blame it on the 8 years spent in the MacD and BK's country for the penchant I had for fast food aka to some as junk food. In today's society where most of us are exposed and educated to some extent to the concept of healthy diet, what was once used to be the alternative diet is now considered the source of all kind of modern illness - obesity, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and what have you!

Well I tell you what, and here is my personal opinion...and I borrow it from Al Bundy, yes the famous yesteryear sitcom smart guy Al - If you are being too stringent with what goes into your system, one day and almost inevitably, when you consume the so-called impurities - your system will act violently!

Thus it is okay to have go at the those frowned upon delicacies(exaggerating) once in a while, but of course as much as possible stick to a healthy diet whenever you can( control your urge for the said foods)!

My 'battery' only lasts for 3 hours...but that's okay!

Well, everyone knows that it is not easy to remain enthusiastic all the time at work, study or at whatever you do as your vocation.

And different people find different ways to keep them going - and thats the point - Firstly, knowing/finding the source of your motivation and secondly, running to it whenever you feel dry - if could be friends, books, family members or the Higher Being or simply a combination of all of these!

We all have our own 'batteries' and we also know that daily frustrations and downs in life deplete them of their 'charges', but the good news is - those 'batteries' can be recharged!

You Again??

This evening was the 2nd time I was approached by a 20-plus old woman who came up with some story about how she need money, just coincidentally.

Well, I tell you what - that very same woman bumped into me last Thursday and told me she had left her wallet in her office, thus needed 2.70 pound for a ride back home. I did not believe her back then because to me she looked very much like a drug-addict and a street prostitute, and today this second encounter with her confirmed my suspicion. But out of compassion, last Thursday I gave her 1 quid and told her, it is all that I have( I was lying of course).

And when the same woman approached me again on my way back home this evening, I did not even give the chance for her to tell her lies!

What a world that we are living in - how drug, alcohol and other stuffs can ruin your life forever! So be careful, there things and stuff that you better stay away from - for your own good!

Focusing on the purpose!

Well it is not the first time you heard it, first find or list what your objectives are then make steps to achieve it, right? And if it is a long term goal or purpose, you map your way to reach it and everyday you FOCUS on accomplishing those daily objectives toward that big goal.

Sound simple, yet many of us can't do it, why because of so many things that distracted us from focusing on our daily purposes.

But the good news is you don't have to be focused 100% of the time, just for 2 hours of the working day is fine, but the more the better. At least that's what I discovered! Do you agree?

I was thinking of becoming a vegetarian, until...

...but first of all these are my top 3 favorite veggies;

1) Eggplant

2) Spinach aka Bayam



3) Water Spinach aka Kangkung!



...I read a graffiti in a private place that says something like this " Our dear vegetarian friends - Had it not been for the carnivorous lifestyle of our ancestors, our species will not occupy the top of the food-chain as it is today and rule the earth!". Hmm...you got some points there, bro.! Well, no offense intended for anyone, and btw...diet style is just a matter of personal choice. Right?
