dad bought a sony mp4 player which apparently can take pics and videos,
video in/out enabled, record voices, play mp3, wma and some
video files.. i'm actually quite surprise that he will buy
such a "high tech gadget".. hehe.. and guess what..
its only cost $200 and juz abit bigger then my V3!
it has an internal memory of 256MB and also a slot for a MMC
storage card.. i'd transferred some videos from my pc,
and the image is quite clear too..

its another sunday.. weekend always seem to fly so fast..
or rather, time really fly.. i have not gone for a holiday for so long..
i think i need a break.. had been listening to 叶良俊 songs lately..
such a pity he only sing for 6 years and not alot of people really
appreciate his talent.. graduate with degree of law from Cambridge University,
he gave up his lawyer career and joined the music industry instead..
Currently, he's in S'pore Poly teaching music.. he'd written numerous
famous hits for himself and others.. however, whenever a song is nice,
the singer is the only person people paid attention to..
the composer and lyricist are often over-looked..


张学友《想和你去吹吹风》、彭羚《小玩意》、张信哲《太想爱你》、《You Give Good Love》、
梅艳芳《一生爱你千百回》、蔡依林《我知道你很难过》、苏永康《我不是过就算的人》、
周惠《寂寞城市》、张国荣《左右手》、《全世界只想你来爱我》、刘德华《有心无力》、
邰正宵《最后一次思念》等等..

heard of these songs before? well, they are all composed by 叶良俊..

so.. a relationship also depend on whether one can get along
with the other half family members.. and if it matter so much
till one has to consider whether to stay together,
does it reflect something about the relationship?

afterall, its not his/her family members you're going to spend
your life with.. unless all of you gona stay together under
one roof..

maybe she's really too pampered for me..
maybe our culture, background and way of life really differ..
maybe we're really not compatible afterall..

Realisation: The Intentional Thief Who 'Became' An Accidental Teacher

Once, during a retreat conducted by Zen Master Bankei, where many students
from all over gathered to learn, one of them was caught stealing red-handed.
The matter was promptly reported to Bankei, followed by the request to
expel the thief. However, Bankei ignored the suggestion. A while later,
the same student was again caught stealing. To the shock of the others,
Bankei continued to disregard the crime. This led the students to petition
for his dismissal, without which they would leave the retreat together.

After reading the petition, Bankei calmly addressed his students. 'You are
wise brothers. You know what is right and what is not right. You may go
somewhere else to study if you wish, but this poor brother does not even
know right from wrong. Who will teach him if I do not? I am going to keep
him here even if all the rest of you leave.' Upon hearing that, the thief
wept in total remorse. In this way, Bankei taught all who were present an
invaluable lesson.

Was Bankei right or wrong when he first dismissed the theft? Perhaps he
had faith in the conscience of the thief, which took a little longer to
awaken. The others were clearly too impatient. What were they students of?
The learning of mere wisdom, or the coupling of it with compassionate
skilful means? Realising their mistake, ought they not weep tears of
repentance too? It is up to us Buddhists to help correct fellow Buddhists,
be they lay or monastic. If we do not help one another pull up our
spiritual socks, who will? Non-Buddhists? Remember - we need to help
Non-Buddhists in ways we can too! – Shen Shi'an
