ALL GREEN?

Leaves i found during jungle trekking 

Are tropical jungles all green?

When you see pictures of the mountains or even when you walk through the trails yourself, do you see all green? Not if you refocus....and look a little closer ...coz then, slowly the colours will reveal itself. These colours reflect the different stages of the living forests....from the lightest shades of green to the reds, browns and yellows and finally the transparent colourless remains of the leaves...together they make the illusion of all green tropical jungles...the colours are for those who dare walk through it risking the snakes, mosquitoes...spiders or the fallen trees and slippery muddy paths, intertwined roots...the steep climbs and dangerously descending paths... risk it all and you will see these colours...or stay out safe and see only green....choice is always ours! 

Just like that, life is about living it all...dangerous or painful...rough or smooth...being alive with every moment of it is the only way we can find the colours. If we stay safe and live on the edge of it ...we may survive by experiencing a dull one dimension view of the multi layered realms! What a miss that will be!

So this new year...begin walking into your life...into your self...bear with the darkness for a while...stay focused...listen to the throbbing life calling from within...say fewer words so you can hear more...trust the path you are on.....do not be engrossed in looking for the colours....just keep walking ...till the colours come alive...in the most unexpected moments...and be mesmerized...at your SELF!

Happy new year all!! 

Rainforest World Music Festival 18

As promised, I will now share my experience at the Rainforest World Music Festival but I am not going to describe what the event is about or what happens there during the three days because you can read all about it in their websites and other hundreds of posts uploaded and shared online. What I wish to share here is about how such events make you feel when experienced live.

What I loved most about it is that the 20k people who attended this event coming from all over the world are ALL music and nature lovers!! The vibes you feel when standing among hearts tuned in to the forest and Music is quite overwhelming.  One of those rare times when people are not thinking or talking about wars, politics, floods, terrorists, poverty or business and so on. For a brief moment, people are just being people...loving life and living every moment in amusement for they all know that the 3 precious days will end so soon and they will have to go back to the"reality" they are trapped in.

We now live in an era of seeing everything through  palm sized screens. Music too has been contained in these miniature world where you are in control of when it should begin, end or how loud or soft it should be...with all the distractions that comes through a mobile phone people hardly hear the music uninterrupted. Even if they do...no vibes of an instrument gets pass the speakers of a mobile phone ...all its magic lost in the process of recording and downloading...what you hear through it just plain notes...nothing more then that. You may not believe what i am saying unless and until you have heard these musicians performing live before a cheering, screaming and dancing crowd facing a stage with a 130 million years old rainforest as the backdrop!! It's surreal ...you can feel the soul of the forest in tune with the music, the musicians and the audience. It's an unbelievable connection...and i am not exaggerating!! You have got to be there to know it...no videos or audios will ever be able to capture the experience in its true sense.

While listening to the most amazingly talented musicians...I remembered Micheal Jackson and thought...no wonder his audiences screamed , cried and even fainted during his performances! I cried even when I watched his Smooth Criminal movie which was played in the cinemas those days!! So watching him live would have sure been overwhelming. Now I see the effects of live performances especially to watch it with people who have made the effort to travel from all over the world like from the US all the way here just for the 3 days coz they sure know how precious these experiences are...otherwise it might all seem like a waste of time and energy to those who think why not just download the music n listen at the comfort of their homes.  Believe me...music is not meant to be heard through mobile phones! These traditional instruments have a soul that connects to nature and that can only happen when it is LIVE!!

Ok I can go on and on about this cos probably I don't even know how to explain it...but I do have a little more to share about the festival in my next post.  See you soon🙂💕

The Meeting Point

The earth...in search of a tree....

The tree in search of light...

and We...in search of ourselves...

One source...a million expressions...all imperfectly perfect...no two trees are identical...no two leaves are identical...no standard shade of colour to identify the trunks...all growing as it pleases, as much as light allows, in its own perfect way, so, no one can say...this tree is more beautiful then the other...coz nature has given each of its creation an identity of its own..incomparable..

Only we human beings have learnt how to compare...this is pretty...that is ugly, this is the right way, that is a wrong way, this is sweet and that is bitter, this is allowed, that is not...and a thousand other distinctions made. And all we have created is chaos... 

Can we not follow our paths as it flows...why hesitate with every move...why ask a thousand questions before we take the next step.....when we ALL KNOW...the END is only ONE...back to its source. Go right if you please...go left if you wish...walk up or down the path...take a hundred turns if you must...run all the way back if possible...and still...where do you think we will end up? A confirmed destination with a thousand paths to choose from... So, why do we still believe that our choices will make a difference? You may encounter different situations, yes, but the results will be the same...we all cry at some point..we are all hurt at some points...we all laugh at some point, only how and why makes our stories different. So whats the fuss about??

Theres only one thing we can do about it, we can LOVE! No matter what the situation is, we can LOVE...that's the only route to our destination. Despite the chaos we have created, only LOVE keeps directing and redirecting us. And love is not about relationships...its about our state of being. That's the undercurrent which we are guided by unconsciously. We may be angry, upset, sad, disappointed and yet we will eventually return to this source of LOVE. And the word LOVE too is tricky...its not an effort to be made like most people see it....but simply the state of our self when all emotions are removed. Our natural state...

Is it easy to get there? of course not...life will throw you into situations and watch you come out of it...again and again...if you come out just the same as you were before...then it throws you into it again...until you learn how to shed the layers of emotions...but life is fair too...it doesn't expect you to shed all layers in one throw...it gives you chances again and again...the sooner we get to the roots the better...

So..just like how the roots are drawn to water, the leaves are drawn to light, we...are drawn to love. Only difference is, the roots and leaves do not resist...and we resist all the way, thus, making the path harder then it should be...again...i am reminded of the message from Bhagavad Gita....SURRENDER! 

The picture above was taken last week in Kuching, Sarawak during our trip to the Rainforest World Music Festival 18. Though i have SO MUCH to say about the festival, just felt like sharing this beautiful moment i had with my good friend and the amazing tree. Magical!   

SwarAsia Malaysia@Rainforest World Music Festival 2018

Ever heard the forest sing? 

Have you walked through the jungle, listening to the subtle streams continuously whispering to you? Have you stopped a moment to listen to the rustling of the hollow bamboos? Have you watched the waterfalls taking a plunge into streams? Have you felt the soft muddy paths when it rains...or reflected in the droplets resting on every leaf moments before it slips away? Have you touched the velvety moss on the tree trunks and absorbed its most beautiful shade of green? Have you tried catching the rays piercing through the branches of the trees? Have you smelled the living earth beneath your feet and sensed the throbbing life in its roots growing beyond ...? Have you felt the connection of it ALL? Have you heard them all sing the secret of life...? Have you felt your heart beat in unison with the breathing trees? 

And...what could we possibly give in return for all the magic the forests offers us? What can ever match the mystery of our tropical rainforests? Words will fail, pictures will lie, videos will only distract...then?

The only equally enchanting experience as a forest is of course..... MUSIC. And its the time of the year here in Malaysia, when we celebrate the Forests. Musicians from all over the world come to offer a part of their soul through music. Its a thanksgiving! Its the Rainforest World Music Festival in Sarawak, Malaysia!   

Its been my dream to go watch these soulful musicians coming from very interesting cultural backgrounds from all over the world such as the  Philippines, Russia, Brazil, Serbia, India, America, Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Tunisia, Poland and of course our very own Malaysia!!

And this time, the Malaysian Band "SwarAsia Malaysia" will be performing in it too. So no way i would miss it! I could hardly wait to be there and would definitely share my experience when i get back. I cant say more now as i don't want to say anything based on the videos I've watched. Both the forest and Music can only be truly experienced when its LIVE! And to have the opportunity to experience the best of both at a time is a blessing and a calling!!

So till i get back to you with my stories do click on the links below for more information and come join us in the Awakening of the Rainforest with SwarAsia Malaysia!! 

See you there!! :)

One Hundred and Four Horses

What made me buy this book? Horses!! of course...i love horses...so strong...yet so elegant and loving. What an amazing animal it is. Then, as i read the synopsis i found out that the story was set during Robert Mugabe's land invasions in Zimbabwe and how this family was forced to flee with their horses. What more do you need to hear before you buy it!! 

This book made me wonder, how could you run for your lives with 104 horses!! How could anyone do that? I mean, i always felt lucky that i never had to pack my things and move from the place i was born until now as my parents still live in the house i was born and i still have some of my childhood stuffs in the cupboards or under the beds. Though i now live 2 and hours away from home...i never had to lose the memories of the place i was born. If i had to run for my life from there...what would i have packed?? Clothes..? money?? some photos maybe...books?? and my doggie of course...but if i had 104 horses to bring along?? what would i have done?? I honestly could not imagine it! Especially to think there are brutal people coming after to kill me, would i risk bringing along 104 horses? Though i surely would want to rescue those horses...would i know how i could do that..?  Again...i cant imagine it. But i am now convinced that it is possible. Especially because this story is not from time when Jesus or Krishna was walking among people inspiring them with miracles and love....no...it happened during our time...while i was going to  college, enjoying my student life. While i was planning my dream wedding, or was organizing family gatherings and even still killing myself laughing at Road Runner or Tom & Jerry on TV..yes while i thought the whole world was doing more or less the same things...there was this family who was in danger of being brutally murdered with their 3 young kids and yet chose not to flee the country as their friends and relatives did simply because they could not abandon their horses!!they risked it all to save their beloved horses. 

Even more inspiring is the fact that it was not all their own horses. Some accumulated as they went from one farm to another and found horses left by owners who fled or some from owners who approached them before leaving the country to request them to take in their horses as well as they had no heart to put them down. So, the Retzlaff family took in peoples' horses as well. Then when the invasions reached their farm...again they ran to the next farm. They went on and on....risking their lives each time...for years!! till they finally crossed the borders into Mozambique ermmm WITH 104 HORSES! Is it not a miracle??

So, what i learnt from this story?

That, no matter what age this world seems to be moving towards....technology or not...Mars or not...Aliens or not...one thing for sure is the human strength and the unbreakable bond shared among all living things. We marvel at mothers who will risk anything for their own children...but now that seems ordinary when compared to what this family did for their horses! So, its not about bond between mother and children...its about the bond with all living things...something we may not even realise until it is put to test. The human strength is just unbelievable. On normal circumstances, we might grumble even when packing a few books to school as it is a hassle yet we are capable of packing ourselves with 104 rescued horses to flee the country. Is it not amazing what we CAN do if only we decide to do it! And is it also not disturbing to wonder how much of our capabilities are going to waste simply because we are not determined!! We limit ourselves based on what we see around us. We see everyone do a few set of things ...the "Normal" things and we come to believe that is all we can naturally do. But why settle for "normal"....? Why not go beyond?? It may seem crazy to many ...even The Retzlaff family were called crazy when they refused to leave the country for their horses...but then they did it ....didn't they??

Why let others decide what you can do! Its our precious life! ONE precious life! a gift in our hands to be tested only by ourselves....why give it to others to be abused! Lets have it back....lets live this precious life the way we want! crazy or not....never mind.... lets just run with our horses... just as strong...as elegant...as determined...as focused as the horses...and lets see where it takes us :)  

And the Mountains Echoed

Have been walking the streets of Kabul and through the mountains of the Shadbagh village in Afghanistan. At the end of this trip i find that this trip wasnt as haunting as the "Thousand Splendid Suns" or the " The Kite Runner". Either i have grown stronger when it comes to Afghan stories or the author decided to have some mercy for his readers this time...i really cant say. But one thing for sure, i will always remember beautiful Pari and her loving brother Abdullah who tells her bedtime stories.

I will not get into details of the story for you can always find them in the net. This story is based on the relationship of a 10 years old brother and 3 years old Sister who are separated when their father had to sell his daughter to a childless couple in Kabul. 

For some reason, this story reminded me of my mother  ! No she was not sold to anyone, but was married when she was just 14 and taken away from her parents and her only younger brother and brought to Malaysia. And those days, there were no means of communication as there is today. This village in India she is from is so remote without electricity or clean water supply. It was totally like a national geographic experience when i first set my foot there 20 years ago. And now when i read this book , i could really feel the ties to my mother land and also the pain of being separated from your loved ones at such young age. I can imagine how my mother would have felt. Taken away almost forcefully , when she was not ever aware of what marriage even meant ! But she had no say in it. 

Her parents were poor and they did what was best for her. They wished she would escape the harsh life over there. And yes of course she did...because my father made sure she got better food, clothes and life over here. But then , he was not able to erase that resentment built in her heart for being the reason she was ripped apart from her parents and brother. No matter how well she was doing here, she couldnt let go of the thought of having her mother with her all the while !

She visited them only once every 10 years...! Situation was such, because my father is the eldest son and the only one working then , everyone else was still in school or college.There was 10 people to feed and clothe. And yet, he managed to save enough to buy a terrace house in the most expensive housing area those days. I was born in this new house and brought up there, my parents and brother still live there today. So, with such responsibilities i cant blame my father for not being able to send my mother to visit her parents more often. But he did send some food supplies for my grandparents in India like Milo, milk powder and so on all packed in boxes and couriered. He helped them in anyway he could afford like during festivals or when they fell ill. And yet nothing he did satisfied my mother. Till today she feels she was snatched away from her family and regrets the whole marriage thing. I cant blame her either ! 

I am only glad that i met my grandparents 20 years ago and spent 2 months with them. That was the most consoling thing for my mother because my grandparents both passed away the very same year !! just about 2 or 3 months after we came back to Malaysia, both my grandparents had chicken pox and they passed away one after the other ! 

The saddest thing is, the rest of her relatives in India advised her not to attend the funeral in India, because the whole village was effected by chicken pox. So mother was not able to say goodbye to both her parents :( Seriously how sad is that ! She cried helplessly thousands of miles away, wishing she could look at their faces one last time and to touch them one last time before they are erased from the face of the world..! But no it didnt happen. She hugged me and cried uncontrollably..and i was not at all prepared to console her..i mean what do you say ??? Its ok ? It happens? Its best that they are gone ?? Its fair that you never spent more time with them ?? 

i had no idea what to say to her...i just hugged and cried with her. Thats all i could do. But still, I thanked God for the timely trip we planned to visit them just in time to say goodbye or they would have never seen their grand daughter ! The two months we spent there was so fun, chatting and laughing and travelling around together. I didnt mind the tiny shack with just one bulb for light and no water supply..simply because of the neverending supply of love and care i received ! Father bought them everything they wanted...sweaters for my grand pa, sarees for grandma, food, blankets , towels, and so on. They were so excited that we all three were there for 2 months. So, somehow, God knows best. He planned the trip knowing that it would be the only chance ! And even mother was a little consoled because she was with them just before they passed away. 

Today, her only family left is her younger brother, now working in Singapore and thanks to Air Asia and super cheap phone charges...she has been visiting her relatives in India more often and also communicates with them regularly. Though i wish it happened while her parents were still alive. But thats life, we simply have to live with whats possible at the moment. 

So the question is, was it worth getting their daughter married off and sent far away for a better life ? Was the good food and clothes and living condition worth more than being with your parents ? I dont know ...i really dont. But one thing for sure, i would not have existed if my grandparents decided not to let her go :) 

ermmm...again was it worth it ??? :) hahahha...as always ...some questions have no answers...we just have to live with the questions itself...and leave the rest to nature :)

And like the title of the book ..the decision my grandparents made..has echoed into my life...they decided that i should be here ...this moment , writing this part ....

its interesting , isnt it ? :)

Dont Miss a TWIG even !!

Funny that in my last post....i was talking about how we should look around and see things as we walk....and just a few days later i am reminded that i got to look not only left , right ...front and back ....but also UP and DOWN! hahaha....i will tell you why...

Yesterday....Nantha and i went on our usual hiking at Gasing hill trails....but we just decided to leave about half an hour earlier than the usual time....it was beautiful weather...sunny , and also breezy....Perfect it was....

So...we entered the jungle and walked on....chatting and sometimes just quietly enjoying the greens....touching some of our favorite trees.....we naturally look down most of the time...as we need to walk over roots , rocks...broken branches and so on....and as we reached halfway the trail where the observation tower is ...facing the Shivan temple at the opposite hill....theres a wooden platform build recently....where you can sit on or climb and stand on it to enjoy the view ...and as always we had our short water break....

i sat on the wooden bench and Nantha was standing on the platform looking over at the temple....and i took a sip of water....when i saw a small twig falling on the bushes beside me....and naturally i thought it must have been some monkeys moving on the branches above....and since we just passed about 10 to 15 monkeys along the path....it was nothing to be excited about...

so only after about a few seconds...i decided to look up anyway....expecting to spot another monkey.....and right above my head.....a little high up....on a tree top i saw something big moving...but it looked nothing like a monkey...and i realised it was a bird....for another second i thought it was an eagle because it was huge....and its quite common to see eagles around here....but then finally the picture comes clear.....it was bright beautiful red and blue...with its long and pointed lovely tail feathers ...then i noticed its beaks....by now i knew what i was looking at...and my eyes naturally widened in disbelief.....and i uttered something that sounded like...." huh...? oh .....myyyy goddd...." that caught Nantha's attention and he looked up asking...." What"???

I managed to point my finger up at the branch...then ...i heard another " OHHH myyy GoDDD"

And for the next 5 mins we were both looking up at it......still in disbelieve....A red and blue Macaw ??? at Gasing Hill ?? i didnt even manage to spot one in Taman Negara ?? and here i am sitting just 15 mins walk from my home....looking at the most beautiful bird in the world !! Perched so closely that we dont even need a binocular to see it. Of course we have seen them before in the pet stores ...usually chained up like prisoners of nature...but here.....it was all too different....it was for real ! a wild and free bird....it was simply Divine...!! Plus it was a definitely a lot bigger than the ones in the stores....It was like seeing the image in Bhagavad Gita where the story about 2 Macaws perched on a branch...one eating the fruits and one just observing....

Yeah...so we didn't walk for the next few minutes .... i had no heart to leave the place as the bird was still up there....i was hoping it will fly off ...just to see how beautifully it would spread its wings as it takes its flight....but it didn't....so we decided to walk on...as we need to get out before it gets dark....we cant wait too long....

And as we walked back....i was thinking....what if that little twig hadn't fallen right beside me...what if i didn't think there was anything to look up to.....what if i assumed that twig was just "nothing".........wouldn't i have missed something so beautiful....!? Made me even think if that bird intentionally threw that twig down to catch my attention....saying " hey you...look up...i am here" ?? hahaha...i know i sound mystical....but the world really is mystical....is it not ??

And as we walked out of jungle....we met one uncle who also hikes there regularly....he is in his 70's and still keeping fit....so i excitedly told him what we just saw....and he was so surprised as he had been hiking here for the past 15 years !!! and never seen one ....i thought.....hmmm maybe you missed some twigs that fell on your path....maybe you didnt think it was important to look up.... :):)

...of course i didnt have my camera with me....and that makes the experience even more precious...i guess somethings are not meant to be captured .....only shared...so here i am sharing the beautiful experience with you...

Remember to pay attention....to even a twig....for you have no idea whats behind it ! ! :):)

As we walk.....

Imagine 7 billion faces and not one 100 % identical to another....how creative could nature be....? If someone were to ask me to come up with 3 different solutions to a problem...i might bang my head against the wall by the time i get to the 3rd one...but nature has so many ways that we fail to recognize....probably because we are SO ABSORBED on our own path , that we do not see whatever that appears along the way...if only we look out of the box.... we should be getting endless amount of inspiration to create a better life not just for ourselves but for others too..

As you walk..just look around....and watch how life is going by....in a hundred different ways within a range of a few hundred metres ...how would you feel when you are passing by in your car thinking of where to have tea this evening listening to some lovely music on the radio and thankful for the air cond that's keeping you cool despite the blazing sun outside.....and as you slow down at a traffic light along the road....you drive pass a bus stop and you see a fragile old women holding on to some plastic bags and sitting down crying? And before you could even think... the car at the back honks at you to drive on as the traffic light has turned green...so you drive on....and start thinking about where to have tea again....and finally you stop at your favourite kopitiam to have some snacks and drink....have a good chat with your hubby....and then head home...and that night as you go to bed ...pulling the blanket over.....getting cozy and just before you doze off...the fragile old lady appears ...tears trickling down her cheek....with a face that has seen too much pain....how could you even sleep ? Doesn't it make you wonder .....? What could have been the choices made that brought the old lady to a path which lead to a lonely bus stop with a 1000 cars buzzing by every hour and yet NONE to care ?

So....that was just ONE story i observed as i passed by.....there are hundreds and thousands of it....some of it are there...for us to learn from...some comes as tests .... some as warnings..... some as reminders.... some as inspirations... some as lessons....they are not always in the form of people....it could be ANYTHING else....even a rock !

they are all there...! the whole world is an institution for us to learn from... problem is we do not concentrate.... So next time you are passing by .... just look away and SEE whats around.... you will be amazed ! :)

Anyway the picture above was taken by my brother during a family outing recently....and i found it interesting that....all three of them ( Bro in law....brother and cousin ) in it are facing a different side of the same path....and it was a candid shot...i guess thats how life is...we are all heading towards the same thing....only in different ways .....so we see different things....we experience different situations...but we all get there in the end .....:):)

So...Who is "NORMAL" ?? !

On my birthday last week....i decided to visit Chasity Home in Kajang town....have seen some of the children from there during a christmas lunch last year at my friends place. Those pure faces had been stuck in my mind eversince....most of them were autistic... though one girl was completely normal but unfortunately her parents couldnt afford to take care of her...she was pretty and looked intelligent. Another boy who i thought should be around 12 or 13 years old turned out to be 20 !! he looked so small....and there were a few others too...i was touched to see how patiently they waited for their food to be served at the dining table...and obediently finished their meals. As i was talking to Ms Amutha ( one of caretakers ) i gathered that these few who were able to visit other peoples' houses occasionally were the ones who are manageable...and are able to walk and communicate but there were a few others back at the home who were more seriously autistic and couldnt be brought out for such functions. It broke my heart to hear this......and thats when i decided to visit the rest of them another day....so my birthday was a perfect time to go visit them.

I Had informed the home a day earlier about my visiting and also getting them some lunch.

And as we reached there....i got out of the car ...passed the food to the ladies in charge...then saw 2 elderly men sitting at the porch on stools simply staring into space....these 2 elderly men were abandoned by their children, they were not ill or autistic....they were simply OLD...... i nodded and smiled at them and walked up to the entrance of the living room which was pretty spacious....there was a small TV turned on, showing some chinese program....there was a 3 seater sofa placed in front of the tv.... only one indian girl around the age of 12 or 13 was sitting on the sofa but she was not facing the tv....either she doesnt understand whats on...or she wasnt just interested....i dont know...and there were 2 chinese girls on the floor....one big sized girl whos hair was so short that she almost looked bald ...she was lying on the floor facing the opposite direction ( away from the tv )....and had both her legs up on the sofa....then on the far right....that 20 year old boy i met on Christmas was sitting on the floor...leaning against the wall with his legs folded and he was also not watching tv...but simply looking at or probably through his fingers...holding his head low...i noticed no one was communicating with each other...they were all in their own space...but somehow it was PEACEFUL in there...

While i stood there scanning through the room and not knowing whom to approach first ....or what to say to them ....an angel came to the rescue...another chinese girl who also looked about 13 or 14....must have been looking at me standing frozen there in the middle of the living room......she must have sensed that i was feeling lost....so with a BIG SMILE ...she stretched her right hand out towards me....with a nod ...which conveyed a message that clearly meant ..." hey you...come over here".....so i immediately walked up to her and held my hand out....she grabbed my hand ....and with her left hand she patted on the seat of the sofa and almost shouted at me " DUDUK LAH!!!" hahahahha....i laughed...Nantha who had been watching the whole thing....laughed out too...! so i sat down and smiled at her....still not sure what to say....then i asked her..." whats your name ?".....she immediately looked down...and shook her head as if to say she doesnt know...and her smile faded a little....i was puzzled at her reaction...i dont know if she did not understand what i said ....or she did not want to tell me her name for some reason...and i am still wandering what was going on in her beautiful mind....

then the next moment she got up and cheerfully walked about ....hmmm...so that was life in there....and i felt a little embarrassed at how long i took to get familiarised with the environment and the people...while it was so easy for that girl to reach out to a complete stranger !...i guess we just think too much !!!...She wasnt afraid to reach out to me....coz she SAW simply ME ...and nothing else....she saw...whats inside...which we all share...and recognized no difference....wish i could get there ! :) dont you ??

On my way home....i coudnt help asking myself over and over ......now...

The white rabbit !!!

it was 2001....end of august....i wake up one morning....both terrified and puzzled....i had a dream ( a nightmare to be exact ).....in my dream i am standing at lush green field....facing a lake....and over the other side of the river there are buildings....and there stands a twin tower....as i stand there watching the skies....i see a dark greyish jet flying towards one of the tower....n i start screaming...." OH NO OH NO....its going to crash....Oh GOd no !!!....and it does... ! it crashes into the building....n as i stand there numb with fear n shock......i see another plane flying the same way n crashing into the towers again.....i coudnt believe my eyes.....n someone is standing beside me.....n i said to him...." this doesnt look like an accident.....its done on purpose"....then as the plane crashed....lots of debris and sharp objects comes flying towards me.....and i squat down in fear.....once the explosions subsides.....i open my eyes n i see a white rabbit on the field where i am standing.....i run to it n see that its hurt....lots of little thorn like stuff poking all over its body....and the rabbit is hurt badly....so i pick it up gently and carefully remove every thorn sticking to it....saying " we have to remove it one by one slowly..." once i am done....i put the rabbit down....and it hops off happily...

and i stand there.....proud that i managed to safe the little white rabbit.....

i wake up....i sit on my bed thinking..." what the hell was that all about" !! ....i tell my hubby bout my dream....then i call my cousin Sithra....n tell her " beware !....our petronas twin tower might be bombed"...i also call my friend Pavithra to tell her the same ....thats because i so often get dreams that actually comes true ....but we just laughed bout this dream n forgot about it till....

after 2 weeks passed.....my mom came down to KL....to stay with me over the weekend....and we were all having dinner at my house.....when my hubby gets a sms frm a friend asking to watch CNN.....he goes and swtiches on the tv....while i am chatting away with my mom....and suddenly my hubby says..." OH my god ....come watch this !! "

I get up n walk to the Tv and when i saw what was on the screen....i shivered !!!! not so much for what was happening there.....but for it was Deja vu.....i had seen the EXACT pic just 2 weeks before.....i still cant get over this ( till now)....a hundred times i asked myself "what was the connection.....how did the vibrations get to me?"....when at that time i wasnt even aware of Al qaeda....Osama.....terrorist or whatsoever...i din even realise the twin tower of US was located in such a place surrounded by water.....

That was the first time i started completely believing that the entire world (or universe to be precise)...is interconnected....the vibrations passes through every living being or thing of the world...n our mind is a SUPER POWER that can transmit such vibes frm anywhere to everywhere within seconds...

Well i am used to dreaming of things bout what was going to happen to family n friends....but 9/11 was too much to take...till today i cant watch the video of the attack nor can i watch the movie 9/11....i still shiver when i see it....

its so amazing.....the vibrations !!!!

Oh and about the white rabbit ..?....this is what i understand.....after this attack the implications are going to be bad....but if its handled patiently with care n love....eventually there will be peace...so the white rabbit is the symbol of our world....hmmm good to kno it is safe in the end though :)

Monkeys & Puppies

Recently i went on a family trip to Pangkor Island ( a small Island in the State of Perak, Malaysia) and as we were going on round the island tour , our van passed through a road going steeply uphill with very sharp bends....so the van slowed down at one point...and as i looked out of the window....i spotted a few monkeys playing with their new friend....a PUPPY !!! I was amazed at how much in harmony they seemed to be....do they even know they are of different species...i wonder....ohh how i wish i snapped a photo ....but the van moved away as i was still amazed....the much bigger sized monkeys could have easily killed the poor little puppy....but they didnt ! They in fact took a break from their game n paused to look at us ( the true monkeys) passing by in the van.....

i wonder....would they have been thinkin..

"look ! there goes a bunch of human beings ( so called ) who cant stop fighting among themselves....they call themselves civilized ...and they are yet to find the connections ....."
