Thanks to all my friends who wished me well
Glad that all are well
Glad that everything's back in place
Thanks to Kak Azian for the good advice!

Horse To Run Fast And Far
"If you want the horse to run
Fast and far,
You must feed the horse
With enough grass"
Wow

Up To Them
Up to them...
Depends on how you want them to be
I won't be talking to anyone.
Alright, alright...
If that's the case, I'll keep away
I'm just strolling around, not what I used to be anymore
Alright, alright...
I'll just keep to myself
And continue as it is
If that's how things should be.
Disappointed.

Mindfulness
Tonight I enjoyed the beautiful music
By the maestro Joe Hisaishi
Of his performance - Ashitaka sekki from Mononoke
This is absolutely breathtaking...
Such a beautiful piece...and such a blend of instruments
Beautiful music, simply breathtaking!
My mind and body dwell
in the very here and now.

The Card 2
It's weekend again, cheerio
Thanks god, it's weekend again
Good to have some rest
Long overdue, especially for the last one week.
It's time for "The Card 2"
It's a new sub project
Thanks to the inputs
It's really meaningful in that sense.
Can it be done?
Of course.
Why not?
After all, this is life
The 'aroma' of the Coffee. *wink*
For You Only...
Till then.

Coffee or Cup
A big pot of coffee for your enjoyment
Assortment of cups for you to pick
Plastic, glass, porcelain, crystal
Plain looking, expensive, exquisite ones.
Most would choose the porcelain and crystal,
It's normal when one chooses the best
One would avoid the glass and plastic,
As they are as plain as their names suggest.
This is when the complications arose
For those who failed to look further
When you could see only the cups
Thus, the source of problems and stress.
What was really wanted was the coffee
Not the cup, however beautiful they could be
The cups are there just to hold the coffee
It's the coffee that's what you are to be.
Now if life is the coffee, positions, the cups
The latter are there to hold and contain life
If the cup is chosen over coffee
The quality of life does not change.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup
We fail to enjoy the coffee in it.
So, what drives you?
Coffee or cup? Think about it
And enjoy your cup of Coffee....Cheers!

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring
(SSFWAS: This is a Korean movie title that has its movie soundtracks so intriguing that I listen to them day and night, to keep me going through the difficult times)
It's around that corner of the year again.
This year it was earlier.
Brought forward to suit the changes.
Can we make it through this time?
Hope I would have enough strength to see it through.
It's like for the entire year, this is the only time
Life's been so difficult for me.
Work is tough
Wondered if things were sufficient
Does it depend on luck
Or real substance?
Whatever it is, just have to go on..

Reflection 2
Working hard, we feel the strain
The workload is ever increasing
We are like at a crossroad.
Like Hollywood actors
The show must go on
Work hard everyone
And good luck to all!

The Card
No title needed
A strong and humble beginning
A short intro at the inner side
Bamboo plants were there to welcome
Green yellow blue yellow green yellow blue
A colourful journey ahead
Words of wisdom to inspire.
An assignment for self
An accomplishment instead
An achievement indeed
A masterpiece from the heart.
An apology for work delayed
A learning opportunity for self
A discovery of new talent
A proud moment to cherish!
A self appraised producer
But proved to be quite good
Happy that efforts were fruitful
Delighted of being inspired!
The card was actually a letter
Thoughts jotted down by a chatter
Words just flowed without brake
As they freely filled up the lake!
The journey of thoughts continued
A humble question being asked
A nod was easily acquired
Bonding was quick to transpire.
Thankful to the knowledge shared
Appreciation for the guidance led
Though afraid in the very first place
Time was not ripe, what's more, a fearful face!
As moments passed, the truth prevailed
That was just the real beginning
It was food that drew the crowd
"I was fat because I ate a lot"
I like to eat and always admire
You get to eat all the home-cooked food
At home we eat as simple as it could be
Well, simplicity is the key to moderation.
Happiness comes from within the mind
Happiness attained through the culture of the mind
Is real and enduring
In every case, our happiness is rendered
More intense or more permanent
By being shared with friends
Therefore the best way to be happy
Is to make others happy too.
Was it bored going through all these
Apology if they were
Self introduction to the family
Moving on to self interests.

Stay Strong & Never Give Up!!!
Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tunes without the words,
And never stops at all.

From Big Brother
"We don't stand alone in this world
Without others to reflect on us,
who are we?"
"How can sound exist
if no one is there to hear"

People progress in different ways
But no matter how, if we're facing the right direction,
All we have to do is keep on walking.

Enjoy Yourself
The simple pleasures in life are free
Not glory, glamour or a shopping spree
Across this great globe they spread such glee
Sample and enjoy them, please heed my plea.
I'd rather have fingers than toes
I'd rather have ears than a nose
And as for my hair
I am glad it's still there
I'd feel awfully bare when it goes!
For You Only...

The Bauble...
It's like another world
Inside a ruby red dome
It's like a balloon, just
Been blown up for
My party.
It feels like it is going
To explode like a bomb.
And the mirror images
Will jump out and there
Will be double-trouble.

Learning-To-Let-Go
Sharing what we have is a beautiful way of relating to others.
Our friendships are much enhanced by the quality of generosity.
Even more significantly, the cultivation of non-greed becomes a strong force for liberation.
As we practise giving we learn to let go.
