All the Best


Right after writing all about giving thanks and being good, a test came along and there goes the "safety pin". No, I didn't reach for the steering lock.

There were parking spaces available but the driver had to park right in front of my car and went off somewhere. People do this all the time without sparing a thought for others.

I couldn't sleep thinking about the incident which occurred at Danga Bay, Johor Bahru.  So when a prominent and well-respected individual sent a message via Telegram Messenger wishing us all the best for the day --- the message came at 1.34am --- I quickly responded with a "Thank You". Not because "nak bodek" but simply because cannot sleep. Now I'm feeling sleepy.

In Buddhism, it is believed that we go to different worlds in a single moment. When we are envious, we go to the realm of the hungry ghost, when angry, sad, happy, we visit different realms.  So keeping our emotions in check is very important. Always remember "This, too, shall pass" whatever your emotions and thoughts are.

Today is a busy day for the media world nation-wide as we await the return of the 20 remains of the Malaysia Airlines MH17 who will later be laid to rest. 

All the best, People. May the operations run smooth, and that all goes well. The one minute of silence for the victims will be anytime between 10.45am and 11.15am.

  2. Sometimes we blame the education system too much cos Moral Studies is part of the curriculum. I think it's more likely poor family upbringing. Maybe Civics should be reintroduced too.

  3. The driver is an imbecile. Next time please show the licence plate so we know who owns this car.
