went jogging at ecp last sat as bro intend to go blading..
it was a long long time since i last bladed.. 10 yrs ago?
i remembered dad bought an inline skate at $15 haha and decided to
give it a try.. so last night, i was "practising" at the void desk
and was surprised! i can't even balance myself well.. i can no longer
make fast turning, T brake without losing some balance here and there!
i used to laugh at my mom when she can't balance herself on a bike
after she has not been cycling for years.. haha.. now i laugh at myself..
so, i'm like a beginner trying to keep balance, making small turn etc..

a line from "Let Me Go" by "3 Doors Down" goes, "And you love me
but you don't know who I am. So let me go, just let me go, let me go."
this raises interesting points.. if you don't know who the person
you love really is, then who is it that you are really loving?
the wrong person? an illusory person?

and because people change, who is it that you really love, even if
you think you really know someone in this instant? if we cannot really
literally cling on to those we love, what choice do we have but to
love in the moment, while letting go of our perceptions of who the person
is or who he or she might be changing into? is not love like such,
with no expectations or any other forms fixations true love?
i certainly think so..

sure they are pretty eager to have a feel of the waterfall..

I had my windows tinted at Cool Customz.. its having special price for car
club members.. just flash your car decal for a $144 classic tint.. next,

Joke of The Month

A woman gets on a bus holding her baby.
"That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen," says the bus driver.
In a huff, the woman slams her fare into the box and takes an aisle seat
near the rear of the bus.
The man seated next to her senses her agitation and asks what's wrong.
"The bus driver insulted me!" she shouts.
The man replies, "Well, he's a public servant and shouldn't say things to
insult passengers!"
" You're right," says the woman, "I think I'll go back up there and give
him a piece of my mind!"
"That's a good idea," the man replies. "Here, let me hold your monkey."


A wife one evening drew her husband's attention to the couple next door and
said, "Do you see that couple ? How loving they are? He kisses her every

Try this intriguing experiment!

Prepare three bowls - with cold, warm and normal water (at room temperature).
Simultaneously, immerse your left hand in the cold water, and your right hand
in the warm water. When the sensations of opposite temperatures are mindfully felt,
remove both hands, and submerge them in the normal water together.
Something confoundingly strange happens - your left hand now feels the water
to be warm, while your right feels cold! How did the conflicting sensations
swap places? And how can normal water be both cold and hot at once?
Truth is, the water never changed; only the experience of the water changed.
That was one of the very first science lessons I had as a child.
What's the "moral"? We need to be empirically objective; and not be fooled by
subjective observation. Scientists would not subjectively "feel" to check
temperatures. To be objective, they would use thermometers.

How we interpret a new experience is conditioned by our past experiences,
habits and karma, and of course, coupled with our present attitude.
A previously cold hand touching normal water naturally feels the contrast as warmth.
Vice versa, a warm hand feels the contrast as coldness. Though neutral in nature,
the normal water feels extreme in temperature! Trapped between the relative,
we fail to "see" the absolute. Incidentally, coldness and warmth are equally
meaningless without any personal experience, with definitions differing from one
person to another. "Magical" as the water experiment may seem, it proves that we
trick ourselves, more than the world tricks us. We see the world as we are,
not as it is. To attain Enlightenment is to see things as they truly are.
To become more and more "enlightened" is to become more and more spiritually
objective - this is the realisation of wisdom, while recognising and respecting the
fact that others might be less objective, thus needing our readily rendered
help - this is the cultivation of compassion.

Our "abnormal" sensation of the water cannot be a true property of the normal water
itself, since it mirrors ourselves. Likewise, what we perceive by sight, hearing,
smell, taste and thought is not entirely accurate. It is a humbling truth that in
everyday life, as mindful as we might be, our best of judgements might still be
faulty - because we "see" with clouded perception, which filters and distorts the
clear view of reality. This is not to say mindfulness is useless. In fact,
being mindful of the possible fallacies of our snap judgements urges us to improve
our spiritual objectivity. Via meditational practices, our mindfulness can be
further refined, which leads to greater calmness of the metaphorical "lake" of our
mind. With this stillness, the mists of misperception dissipate. With a settled
mind, insights will be realised when we peer within the depths of this "lake".
When we realise the nature of our mind, we become free of its delusional trappings.
In fact, we become absolutely free - enlightened!
