Look this way...

When you do not know how to be jealous....or to hold on to grudges....or to bother about what people might just think about you....when you never feel sorry for yourself at any point of your life....when you do not search endlessly for happiness.....when you never experienced disappointments....when you can smile without a reason.....when you are not expecting anything from anyone at all......when you dont even realise you are lonely....when you can see everything with ONE mindset....when all you need is some food....clothes and shelter....but you dont care what colors you are wearing for as long as you are not feeling cold....when life is about every moment....and you do not know theres an end to this world...then..........................

they call you Autistic......

isnt it strange....? ....we are perfect outside....and autistic within...while its the other way round for them.....God must have tried to cure us by turning some of us inside out...So be kind to these Real Human Beings....not by feeling sorry for them....but by learning from them the true human values....believe me....if we stay with them for a while....our inner voices will start speaking a little louder....

So.....nothing is totally bad in life....theres always something more meaningful to it...if only we see it that way....so ...

see something differently this coming new year....experience something new....feel something amazing....do something with love....go someplace in your imaginations .....try something crazy.....and just break away from the routine....

~~~HAPPY NEW YEAR ~~~

Happiness is ................


When the sun sets on your shoulders....................


When you have rain trees reaching out.............




When you see No END to the streams....


When light flows along....


When you have a millipede crossing over your fingers...


When you simply LET GO ..............................................


When you jump for joy !




AND above all....when you get it all in ONE day....ONE place....

Streams everywhere...turquoise blue butterflies....shimmering green dragon flies....rain trees reaching across for the lake....BEST friends...endless laughters.....roaring lions.....restless panthers....steaming delicious food........misty mountains....cold nights....serene waterfalls....humble town....millipede crossing your finger....monkeys on your way.....horses waiting for you...

It all sounds surreal ???

Believe it or not....you can have it all at Taiping,Perak...! Awesome place :)

2 weeks ago....a few friends and I went to stay at this simply lovely resort...Sentosa Villa...its in the midst of the hills...walking distance to a waterfall...5 mins drive to the Lake Gardens or the foot of Maxwell Hill....and also the ZOO....

Though we only stayed a night...it was totally satisfying...calm , serene...chill and peaceful...

So...if you want a quick get away with friends or family...this place is ideal with cheap delicious food too....BUT just a very humble reminder....if at all you decide to go to the night safari PLEASE DO NOT use FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY...and keep as quiet as possible while u are at it..these animals should be treated with respect...as they have lost their freedom for us...so lets at least be grateful in this way... :)

Mahatma Vs Madatma

If i may read your mind........................
" YEAH RIGHT.....LIKE WE HAVENT HEARD OR READ ABOUT GANDHI "
I woudnt feel offended if you think that....hahaha...but i am not going to write about who Gandhi is or what he did for i am more amazed at something else...its not about him...but about the rest of us...who very cunningly labeled him as MAHATMA ( THE GREAT SOUL ) so that no one will expect the rest of us to do anything as courageous or noble as he did....its simply an escape from our duties...we the MADATMAs left the responsibilities to those few souls who were willing to sacrifice their lives...
If anyone who thinks..hes got to fight for freedom or to help the poor ...or to love the untouchables...or to rescue tortured animals....or to safe the amazon is a MAHATMA...then what are the rest of us....? Some fungus infecting the earth ???? Gandhi wasnt found in a lotus bud...he has a mom and dad just like us.....
" he was born in the dark, right hand corner of a room, 11 feet by 19 1/2 feet and 10 feet high , in a 3 story humble house.."
" As a boy , Mohandas amused himself with rubber balloons and revolving tops. He played tennis and cricket ..."
"He encountered more difficulty in mastering the multiplication table than in learning naughty names for the teacher.."
so...? what was different ...?
why are we just ME n YOU...while HE is a MAHATMA...? :)
If he was the true atma GOD intended to create...are we simply admitting that the rest of us are just mistakes ??? I guess not....and thats why God pushes some of us here and there...to wake us up...to know what we are truly capable of....to look beyond....to see what we had been hiding from...well Gandhi was not simply pushed ..he was literally thrown out of the train by the railway officials in South Africa simply because he insisted he would only travel first class for he had his tickets to it....his luggage was tossed out on to the platform and the train left him shivering in the cold winter and thats when he says he began to think of his "DUTY" and to FIGHT for his rights for he realised this incident was merely a symptom to a very deep disease of color prejudice...so...that was the push ...that brought the MAHATMA to life !
But the problem with the rest of us is that we are so adamant that we resist these pushes and stay put in our comfort zone...refusing to free the MAHATMAS from within and it becomes an endless process....and THIS process...in my understanding...is LIFE . The sooner we free him the better it gets......so lets stop hiding....lets just show ourselves up to God...who is desperately in need of more to safe this awesome world ....would we ??? YET ??? i guess not...we probably need to be thrown out of Niagara falls before we do......... :)
So meanwhile...lets at least stay a cheerful , positive, determined MADATMA :)
