People

There are approximately 7 billion people in the world.


Each and every individual among these 7 billion people have a story to tell.


The newborn baby who saw light for the first time.


The mother who went through the stages of birth labor.


The father anxiously waiting with his 4-year-old son outside the delivery room, although its his second experience.


The brother being totally clueless about the situation.


The doctor carrying the newborn, thanking God for another miracle that He brought to this world.


The nurses cleaning up and organizing the newborn and the mother.


The paternal grandparents light joss sticks to show their gratitude to Lord Buddha.


The relatives starting to make plans to visit the newborn and the mother.


The insurance agent preparing proposals for the second-time father to consider.


The CEO promoting the insurance agent for his hard work and determination.


The politician approaching the CEO for endorsements for the upcoming elections.


The chauffeur driving the politician and his wife to the hospital.


The politician and his wife congratulating their daughter over the birth of her second child.


Indeed, a big cycle.


The bond between human beings is something inevitable and should always be practiced. You can be a millionaire, you can be a pauper; it doesn't really matter.


What matters is that you exist in this world and there is always a reason for your existence.


A person can shoot you at point blank range and kill you. He can take your life, but not your existence.


So, start appreciating your existence in this world. All is well.

Clock time versus psychological time.

We often find ourselves chasing something for a better future or dwelling over the past.


We learn from our mistakes from the past to create a better future.


Many would agree with this statement, but how many people truly understand it?


People perceive the past and the future as time. However, most people would perceive the past and the future as psychological time.


An investor made money through punting during the world economic boom of 1993. He lost all his money when the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis hit him. At this very day, many new investment opportunities have come up. The investor has already done thorough research which show positive results. Due to his past experience in the crisis, he decides not to invest in fear of losing his money in the future. This is a perfect example of psychological time.


Relating to that, we have clock time. What is clock time? If the investor fully relies on the research (whilst taking the logical lesson from his past, not the psychological one), he will put his investments through. Such would be an example of living in clock time. 


How do I differentiate logical and psychological? Logically, punting is a fast way of making money but it is also a fast way of losing money. Therefore, punting can defy the sole purpose of living - survival. The fact is that without money, survival will be hard. Psychologically, the fear of losing money is empowering. You can definitely use this fear as an excuse, but there is one small element that people do not realize by adhering to psychological time.


What happened to the most precious moment in life? What is this precious moment I'm talking about?


At the end of the day, the past will stay remain unchanged and the future is always unpredictable.


The key answer to life is living in the present. 


Clock time wins.


"There is no salvation in time. You cannot be free in the future. Presence is the key to freedom, so you can only be free now" - Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now-

Fun fact

There is no doubt that driving in Malaysia makes you an angry person.


However, I found a new light today while driving.


Instead of cursing or swearing at people on the road, try to joke about it.


I laughed my ass off when I saw this old woman digging her nose while talking on the phone.


Her car was going at about 20km/h and it was in the middle of two lanes.


So funny.

Breathing fire

Apart from the weather, there is another reason that could be the reason I feel like I'm breathing fire.


Vengeance? Sweet.

No more

So, you think your words are confined within walls?

Brain up. Even the Great Wall of China was vulnerable to attacks.

I've heard enough.

I've seen enough.

Lim Weijun, so full of himself and cocky.

Lim Weijun, so arrogant and snobbish.

I would have really appreciated it if I heard it with my own ears.

I used to love all of you as brothers and sisters.

Now, its all destroyed. 

My vengeance starts now.

POV

1. It has been a really long time. Indeed, I have went through quite a fair bit since my hiatus from this blog. Three months, so much to blog about. Its just too bad that I only remember snippets from those three months. I am getting old.


2. All Souls Day.  A good way to bring people together. In some cases, screw it. Really.


3. Since I came back, it has been good food. My grandmother is the most awesome cook known to me. I love her.


4. Run, run and more running. I brought this to myself.


5. Oh yeah, I have graduated and got a job. Its called bumming.

People complain a lot about other people.


Fair enough, human beings generally pick on flaws instead of looking at the good side of things.


The problem is, they share the same flaws as the people they are complaining about.


Oh well, can't do anything if the world is becoming like that.
