A mild, soft and good cartoon wonder: Ratatouille

I usually find special and peaceful movies at the cinema a joy to my brother and me. While I seldom go to the cinema for there are usually other responsiblities to take care of, the occasional good movie is a remedy to the heart, and keeps the will for life ongoing. Life's play on the big screen is inspiring, educational, blessing and nourishing. The key is to choose wisely for the right reality movie.

Ratatouille is a wonder of the heart, and tells a simple wise story of the virtue of honesty and the grace that earnest effort gives. The joy of a simple mouse, with a good ethic, and a wise mentor, is a tale of the rewarding nature of goodness, patience and earnest effort. While the movie is blended in a colourful pictureque French ambience, with the feel of soft and mild hue, the grace of the story flow does gives a tune of slow, joyous process of life, that good service amidst a reality slowly gives a rewarding character to the steady and virtuous personality. There are many souls in the movie, all centred upon self lovingness, while the stars are those who truly care for others and deals with the situation in a good, wise and peaceful manner. The art is for man to learn lessons, and morals, and to live life well for, to the loving, an earnest and honest living in indeed a worthy endeavour. On this note, there are joyous victors in various fields of occupation, only that a need for good concertedness is essential. The glory of the earnest effect should go to the person with the talent, and a subtle understanding of this story does foretell that God gives talents to the deserving. I feel nice understanding this factor, that talent is the gift of the worthy for the essentially loving character. Please use this for the benefit of humankind.

Ratatouille is certainly a nice showcase of love, and while I do not intend to reveal the storyline, I feel this movie, for the understanding, is a soul-moulding experience. This movie is a shining star for those who came with children, and with some guidance, a mind is spectacularly beautified.

Compassion in genuine times of need

Compassion is a healing flow to the heart of goodness. I understand that the heart of man is made for companionship and for virtuous social grace. I faithfully hope that every man on this Earth of rejuvenation is given the gift of social support, and the compassive supplement that resort us to relive life the way of truth, love, peace and hope. The joy of man is truly the hope of peace and love. Bliss is the foundation of peace and love, and from here, I establish that compassion for one another can surface from an interplay of social bliss and social wisdom. Well socialized people are often in an understanding and blessful check and balance system to maintain health and to preserve soul happiness.

In life, all of us face issues to handle and true family and friends will be there to help you, accompany you, nurture you and to guide you. Issues have to be magnanimously handled as soon as they arise, and I do hope that those who just want a simple and good life on Earth be given the ease of mind and heart in proportionate endeavour. Well, on my part, I chose bliss before knowledge, and love before success. A truthful note that I believe is a well rounded, easy to accomplish life goals that is enough for joyous living and a normal life, and certainly virtuosity and altruism helps in creating a fountain of joy in spontaneous blessitude. To this good purpose, I propose to keep the love and stability of the family before any other noble pursuit, and please love people over the need of material wealth. Keeping up the standard of success and class is sufficient for most purposes, while improving morals, peace and attitude is a daily contemplation of the life worthy. Be amiable and gregorious to family and friends and be a liver of the light. Importantly, be grateful to God for a living that is good by average standard.

Flower portal

Flower is a heart sent blessings of love. A simple floral gift is a sending a smile of life to another person. I do love flowers and the nature of flower is beauty, life and grace. Girls do love flowers, though I feel flowers is meant for everyone to enjoy.

One of my dream is to be a gardener. In my old age, once successful, I may own a small garden field that yields beautiful floral arrangement of a plethora of colours, that resonates sweetly with life's blissful scent. Flowers are valuable for their aethetic beauty, and remember, the vital key to life in a plant is a pollinated flower. Hereby, flowers indeed sustain the life of man in many essential mannerism, and for this, we ought to show appreciation. Flower is part of the cycle of life, inherently linked to the ongoing success of our world. For this, flowers are truely very valuable, much more so than their economic price. I feel whenever you give someone a flower, that flower must have some lovely meaning for them, and the person is someone special in heart. A simple and gracious advice I have about giving flowers, is to give the person a pot of flower, that may lit up a room with a floral ambience for a prolonged period, instead of a bouquet. This is more than just a good blessful meaning, as you are giving a nicely heartwarming life that tunes to peace, bliss and grace.

Well, a flowery poetry is a joy to the heart, and opens a blooming love between people. Today, I did wrote a poetry on flowers, with inspiration from love, and I am ingratiated with my workpiece. One day, I will show this artful beauty on a book. To my friends, you may have a free token copy of my book. To savour this joy, I do hereby thank the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, Kuan Yin, for her daily protection and nurturing bliss over me.

Happiness is the reason for living

I feel most people do things the way they do for that makes them feel happy. The moral hedonist is a philosophy of life that promises joy, hope, peace, love, blessings, and for this, just be in gratitude. Joy and happiness is indeed a very important aspect for the reason for living, and with a contented soul, man want to live. Everyday, everything we do is done because we understand that there is love and there is joy, and we only want to do the things that gives us joy and happiness.

Every barometer of success in this world, every family bliss and blessing there are, every peaceful and joyous sensation that is part of the longevity package, and the love from the divine, is a living in happiness factor. There is the love for life instilled in oneself because we inherit the birthright of happiness. Therefore, a person who wants to love God more, must first choose to be happy.

Now, to be happy, we understand that a big idea is the issue of compatibility. For example, your mood have to be right, the person you are with have to be right, the topic of conversation have to be right and the ambience of the place have to be right and the grace of happiness will appear. In happiness, there is only deep appreciation, goodness in nature, right-minded, and calm joy.

All of us are attached to this world in many possible manners. Indeed this world is like a relational matrix of love, and we are attached to form as we are attached to self, and in this, I feel that there is a deep relationship between object referral and self referral. Self referral is well-esteemed in spiritual people and in human who seeks the inner beauty of life. Object referral is based on form, and I can quote a special idea in the love for nature, and in the love for beautiful character. I understand we should love the essence of happiness and beauty, that may be manifested in all good forms, and look to people, not only for their form though that is equally important, but for their personalities. Ambience, state of mind, and calm physiology that the aspects of life that connects essence to form, and in the quest for happiness, a good inheritance of the goodness of peace does impress upon the person a state of happiness. The self must first be happy, and the wise finds happiness in the self without relying on external factors which may not always be for them, and the happy does attract the happy. We do understand that family and friends who love you will always be for you because you understand their beloved integrity, and anytime in the ideal situation, someone will come to you in need. Just love the person who are with you always. Now, when we think about nirvana on Earth, happiness is indeed a major role player in the process.

The Return of Grace for the Repentent

Have you ever train a baby to walk? The baby will get up upon assistance, walk with holded hands, rest, and may resume crawling, and slowly, through several rounds of walking and interceding crawl, may pompously walk a good distance of ten metres with self confidence. This is indeed a gleeful experience and will enlightened any elder next to the baby. An elder in life understands the best path to walk in life is the upright, totally clean and straight path. While some good men have ventured a gracious and virtuous path, most of us may have some small mishaps here and there, from a world that is good, though by tough or unguided situation, led the unawarely and the innocently depressed to fall back from the golden standard. Now, depend on the situation, forgiveness may be warranted and wise, and this depends on the state of the individual, the toughness of the situation, and the nature of the slip. A small mistake like forgetting to tip the waitor after service in a restaurant that already include service charge, may be well pardoned compared to taking a loan and being unable to service the loan on time, aside from the fact that extra work hours to repay the life saving loan.

Well, of cause the wise and the virtuous deserve to be rewarded more than the average minded. My feel is that there must be some kind of a leveraging balance for the repentent soul, that may be initally taking a less wise action to actually be given the gracious lift back to his normal life course, just after a period where he has shown himself to be self-correcting and enthusiastic about redressing the past with present goodness. We want a well balanced and safely contributing society, and even those that took a wrong step in their life, we hope that they may be shown the grace to a normal and contributive civilian life, and to the milder situation, the more magnanimous and enjoyable the package. To a man who is given a good development, three meals a day and the various goodness of society, the chance of keeping on the safe and virtuous track is likely; though to the poor, disenchanted soul, only a strong sense of altruism, in a field where the situation may seem unfair, who does shows a resilience iridescent glow of compassive righteousness, may be given a sterling retribution. I really and deeply hope in Buddha, that the good will be rewarded well, and the wayward protected and nurtured to remain in goodness. For the case to the average and young, where our character is bliss, conforming, and good natured, we tend to be good in good situation, though an unfavourable situation may causes us to cry out for redress. Please for the sake of humanity in the young, give the young soul some soft pacification, for we hope they remain good by giving them fairness and an absolutely good and lovely family upbringing. Meanwhile, a resilience young man being good in toughly enchanted waters is a rarity and a treasure, for they are inner heroes of character.

Well, our society is a society of compassion. Everyone who is good should be given the chance to live, and the community should be empathetic to those who has changed for the better. Just punishment for wrongs committed is already metted out, for enough is enough, and to the receiver, who has shown a faithful sign for a good resolution, the past should be left behind in the attics and let the situation be forgotten, while the present embraced and evaluated for the course of a new grace of life. Please, pardon and forgive the genuinely repentent people, for they are life too, and they have feelings, and some of them do have a lovely and soft nature deep in them that needs a good environment in order to be expressed. For the gracious need of society, let them in to the societal goodness, for they are renewed in their repentence. I wrote this article for I have compassion for that who have slipped, though yet repent in good stead. With relation to me, I have shown greatness in some situations, mistakes in some situation, though earnest to my heart, I just want to keep my class in the middle stream of life. I feel good time mends the heart and instill a feel of happiness that is prolonged in our daily endeavour. Hereby I quote a phrase, that the wise learn from others, the average learn from themselves, and the pitiful have yet to learn. Please be wise, for life is kinder to the wise; yet gracefully reach out to the pitiful for a communist heart is for the idealist.

A scientific course on conservation

Friday is indeed a special day to me, for I am scheduled to meet the erudite professor, by the name of Professor Kumar, for a talk on my recent research on entropy. Well, the meeting went well, and I am glad to be studied science for a long time, and this is one of those moments when I find my discipline that I have chosen to undertake yields fruition. The topic on Entropy is grand, and to us, we understand that entropy is more like a talk on philosophy to our current understanding, and while we understand that entropy is about the order of creation, there is much on the potential of entropy that man can tap on at the current moment which may require some research.

Professor Kumar mentioned the joy of connections between the various disciplines of science that may showcase a holistic brillance, and to this, the beauty of the Earth is revealed. Now, I feel for research academics and professors, who in the genius of their nature, conjuncture theories, and find new insights into the innate working of the scientific discipline, and to the enlightened soul, arts and science do compliment each other. Logics, metaphysics, aethetics, rationalism, realism, ethics, pragmatism and idealism does come into play in a meaningful, purposeful and positive course into science.

I did discuss issues with Professor Kumar, and I follow his lead into the discipline of geography, ecology, and the tradition disciplines of physics, chemistry in a vision to understand the natural cycle of Earth, so that I can write an award worthy Earth Conservation book. He gave me some preview of Nobel Lauretes and how their work help contribute to Earth's sustenance, and he printed a copy of a Buddhist professor work for me, which gives me a brief introduction of entropic capital. I feel that with more expert interview, I will be able to write a book on Earth Conservation and be part of the winning solution that Al Gore mentioned in his book, "An Inconvenient Truth". I think the propagation of the green peace evolution is neccessary at an advocacy level(me), the research level, the business level and the enforcement level. All of us have a part to play for the safe continuation of Earth into the next generation.

On the sideline, Professor Kumar dish a compliment that my written english is smooth, effective and pleasant and I may get a entry job as a financial editor, provided I do very well in my Accounting and Finance Degree, as well as keep a good lifestyle, and keep refining my writing talent. I will treasure my literal gift from God for a lifetime, and if well traversed, and frequently ingratiated, may well deemed to be the hope of longevity for me.

The Five Virtues

Virtues are crowns to acquire in a person life, and like cloth, virtues gives a modest protection and beauty. I feel five important virtues are love, peace, magnanimousity, generousity and truthfulness.
Love is about caring and concern for your loved ones, and is about providing for people's needs. In the world, I feel your parents love you the most, and they are the ones that give you most of your needs and nourish your soul. Love among friends is like an extension of the family and this is cherished for the extra support and opportunity that friends may offer that is complementary to family love.
Peace is about being at ease with others, and showing a sense of gracious bonding with your neighbours. A peaceful society is well-esteemed, for the development of wealth and affluence can emerge from the ability to understand the finer joy of life. Peace is fundamental both for self growth and for societial cohesion.
Magnanimousity is about the understanding of a kind, forgiving and charitable heart. Often, there are differences, and sometimes, there are times where a good deed may save the day and the continuation of a friendship. In these times, I feel magnanimousity is the common virtue of the rich, and to add this virtue is like having a winning personality magnet for love and joy.
Generousity is about giving and sharing, and often, we need to think about our friends, who may be less fortunate than us, and for this, we need to consider the grace that each individual is blessed differently and through ample sharing, each can have a share of various blessings. At the same time, the less fortunate in our community do need more attention, and we give them a share of our blessing portion just as a token of humanistic care.
Truthfulness is about telling the truth, living the truth, and having faith in others and in God. For reality is based on truth, I feel the meaning of life is worth the endeavor only if we are based on truth, and treat each other in truth. Family bonding and interaction is based on truthful and bridging soul interaction, and a couple have to remain truthfulness for their lifespan. Society rewards truth, and love is of the truth.
Now, when we have the five virtues, think about this: that there are five fingers on a man's hand, and if each finger represents a virtue, then each greeting, and goodbye is a reminder of the five virtues. Now, we shall always gives thumbs up to love.

In the Buddha, each enlightened footstep blooms a flower

Life is a sojourn of souls, integrated into a cloth of interwoven love, laws and opinions. The Buddha first taught us to be virtuous and to be humble, and to seek love. Earth is a garden of life, and we are all like stems that take root into love. The more patient a person is, in the labour of love, the better connected and stable the roots that grow into the heart of love and the more beautiful the evanescence of a flower can be, in the view ground of the earnest bees and butterflies that serenade the garden for a collective goodness.

Buddha taught the important of compassion, kindness, simpleness, magnanimous, generousity and graciousness, and to flow with the ease of life to impress upon a lovely society with the courteous nature of friendliness. A young soul, beautiful as a butterfly, who understands the love of a prayer, and who expresses the joy of filial piety, is of the Buddhist spirit. He is a treasure to his parents, and a gem to his friends, a soul fervously sought after. As a maturing man, life's beauty is breathed into him, and the flowering of choices that stem from a gracious, caregiving source, for his nourishment in the art of liberty. In the karmic circle, the man is slowly enlightened in the perception of life, and each of his earnest and amiable endeavor brings upon the flowering nature of success, and the sweet friendliness of a firefly do circle him in joyous rendezvous. Atlas, imagine the fragance that life can be to the honeyed soul when one is always on good moral grounds! The Buddha emphasize on the heart, and the sutra of cleansing and guidance, to lead the soul on a safe, enjoyable yet interesting life.

At the final moment, the breathe of a lifetime is a wonderous insight of beauty, and the flowers, of blessful scent colours and leads the soul home to Buddha, in the Dharmic cycle for a favourable future.

Familiar invite that feels like home

My true family is a family of four, busy as can be, and seldom together for casual and friendly gathering. My father is working overseas, and my mother is busy sustaining the family income to maintain our economic status as a middle class home. This Sunday, with the hope of quiet, transquil moment, I do wish to keep myself in seclusion. I was the only member of the family at home.

Time has the essence of a contained moment that friendly companionship can sustain a lonely soul that needs privately at the same time. In a situation where I am not convenient to explain, my uncle came, in a feel of grace, saving me with a good invitation to join his family for a good private time, doing simple family amenities. For this, from my situation, the gap is alleviated and my soul feels gratitude from the nourishment.

The place we visit is a simple place, with joy, and with a feel of Singapore. Vivo City, the understanding of a leisurely mall, where man enjoy being with family and friends. I feel the joy of the bookstore there, doing wise inspection for book prices, for happiness galore, I am a keen writer in gracious endeavor. At the same time, I feel the scope of topical information required and realised the wisdom, both conceptually and worldly, that is needed to write a travel book. Afterall, I love travelling and I love writing, so why not just travel and write at leisure. I also feel the love of my Grandma, who love Sudoku, and therefore, I bought her a puzzle book. Being normal is great fun and joy. I can relax and recuperate as the bookstore trip is a good worthwhile venture.

At night, I went for dinner with Uncle Asang and Aunty Rita, with their children to a hawker centre near Temesek Junior College, and for this, I am grateful, for the joy that this eating haven brings to the various age group. Singapore truely is a nation of moral and ethical fibre. My main attention is on my cousins, and I help to coach them and guide them a while on some life issues, and the main success is the preaching of parental compassion and the promotion of an university education.

A nostalgic gathering of secondary school friend

Time was sweet on Friday afternoon, when my Mum came home to visit us with a new song album, Canon in D, by Johann Panachel. Well, this song is an enlivened moment of enchantment, and the accordance of this song rings a tune of familiarity in my heart, for this is my brother's favourite song. At the same time, Canon is the name of my Goddess, Kuan Yin, whose name is the name of Kanon in Japanese. For this, the song Canon, is a golden remix of life and joy.

By the time I left home and reached Sim Lim Square to meet my friends, the time is about six plus. I waited for a while, then decided to call my friends to enquire about their whereabouts, before we did some coordination to arrange a meeting of friends together and by the time of seven plus, we finally have a seat at Kuan Yin's restaurant, a vegetarian selection of healthy gourmet. We chit chat about the various events of life, like national service, like university, like a simple job after graduation, and my joy is being able to go to my friend's graduation next year to be a congratulating witness of three years of good work. I am glad, for my friend, Wenchang, is a good and faithful family man, with consistent well to do performance. Honestly, I am like a hare while he is a tortoise, and at this moment, he is going to graduate early than me on a more rhythmic process. Laughters' true here, for I am with Wenchang, and competition does not matter.

The good benefit of being at Kuan Yin's restuarant is that I am promoting a healthy diet to my friends, and I hope they catch on the vegetarian infection. In this, I hope for my friend to be safe and to be able to keep on in longevity. Most of them are doing well. While my friend may not be academic champion, I understand from their moral integrity and the ability to understand life's wisdom, that they do have a good slice of the economic pie, and at this moment, the little hare Brian is considered trailing them, as my friends will graduate first. Life has a way of telling unique stories, and for this, I comprehend the importance of friendship, whether they are ahead of you or needing your help at the moment. Life is a journey we got to keep on, and the essence is to cruise to a winning position together. Likewise, a feel of a Serangoon Junior College friend, whose name is Sundaran, currently in Canada for studies, does rings a promising tune of success even when he is benchmarked with Hwa Chong students, due to his consideration for virtues and to assist people whenever possible. A broad view of the student matrix has shown that studies is only a factor and a supplement, while life wisdom is the real gem.

The heart being the core of life

The soul of the heart is the life essence of a man. With the ingratiation of the heart, a man is rich, and rejuvenating with the music of heaven. Nothing matters more than the feel of riches and comfort and joy in the heart and soul. I understand the important of love and appreciation, for grace comforts the rich at heart, and joy comforts the holy in soul. The compassionate salve is the key for riches, and the understanding of love among human kind. The natural peace resonates with the being of the friendly, and keep order among the grace of the distinct. May appreciation be the flowering of love, and may blessings be in the heart of man.

The stream of life flows through the generous heart, and Earth's riches permeates the soul, for men of love, a soulful touch to the rhythem of a beautiful endowed Earth, whose innate soul interblends to man's heart like the evanescence of the spirit of nature to the inner peace of man, and the sweetness is soft and enduring.

An example of this is when man commune with nature, and feels the intimate soul of our natural Earth permeates our being, and this is healing of the holistic kind. The sight of flowers, the feel of the exuberant shrubs and trees, and the blissful endeavoring butterflies and bees that love sojourn place as blessful ornamental workers on our naturally rich planet.

Heal the World

Recently, I had a mild nostalgia sensation about musical tunes that inspires me as a young and budding teenager. At that time, I was in my primary school, when I recalled many tunes that serves as a motivation song for goodness and hope. One of them is the heavenly touch of Heal the World. The world in my eyes was a rejuvenating world and I could feel the altruistic spirit of Singapore, that develops a sense of inner peace and humble confidence in me. Charity elephant, in graceful pink, leads the evanescence of charity, that beautify the soul through the deeds of concern, care and share for people in wise manners for the maturing of a graceful society. National joy became a nature to us, Singaporean, and a polite and nurturing culture is developed in the homeland that feels the confident sense of peace and where ideals became a parcel of reality. National songs are inspirational, calming, and provide an ecstacy of good values that feels my soul to feel that Singapore has became an enriched oasis. Wong Kan Seng mentioned that Singapore can be like a garden where thousands of flowers bloom, and the world, in rejuvenation, view Singapore as a light of hope, small yet resilence.

A small nation that harbours people of lovely and homely aspirations, can feel the tune of grace and peace, and the magic that the song "Heal the World" is, can uplift Singapore as a sparkle of love for this world. The touch of magic in this song is when all of us do our responsibility to love and serve this world, and we will have the dawn of light that "the dream we are conceived in, will reveal a joyful face". This is a revelation of a fairy tale, where all man love each other, love is embrued in each of our hearts, and the soul of this world is like the fountain of heaven.

The infection of love

A beautiful song from one of my favourite singer, Boyzone, goes this way, "Smile, an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you near to me." The simple positivism of the smile is infectious and this is a radiance that a sprinkle of flower blossoms may induce a nirvana of blossoming flower that emanates a floral paradise.

A classic feel of this blessing is in this story. A father is having breakfast with his wife and daughter. His lovely daughter smile, and toast the bread for him, and he is very happy with his daughter's filial piety. He left the home, with a sunshine smile on his face. As he travel to work, the confidence and brightness of his countenance shows a smiling face, and everyone around him, like a magnet, feels uplifted in some manner. As the man reached the office, he announced to his colleagues, "Good day everyone, this is a magnificent day, may we service this company in joyous contribution with a jovial heart." Everyone in his office is energized and clapped in support. That day, work was light, happy and productive. He came home, to a nice vegetarian lagsana dinner by his wife, and the evening was a festive and gracious occasion. Now, how many of us will love to have a day like this? Remember, this all begins with a blessing in the morning, a willingness to smile because of that, and to spread the smiling sensation around. Sometimes, a simple smile from a person may be the sustaining peace of our hearts for that day. Love is in the air. Maybe we can start with smiling at our face, everytime we go to brush our teeths in the morning. I think you look good in your uniqueness too.

Morose wind of development

Life has a method of telling people to be good, and we are benchmarked and forgiven by what we read, understand, aspire for and do. With some concern and discernment, a feel of life and a refining of soul takes place. The last five years of my life has been pretty eventful, and for this, I prepare to mild and tone to the music of family grace.

While HwaChong has been a horse race with me on the busy track, lack of non-academic discipline and and foresight causes my displacement. Well, I learnt that academic performance is not as important as life virtues and science does display only a dimension of life. Also, for success to befriend you, a good and completely synchronized lifestyle is clearly in order.

In Canada, I found the balance of study and school responsiblities in the first year, and while I am not a leader by nature in Year 1, a heavenly scholarly feel is upon me, and a rainbow of opportunity is given to me to serve. I do what I can. I learnt about family ties when I am overseas. A feel of parental trust and close affinity with my grandma drives me the need for success in life.

When I am in second year, a more realistic outlook of life took over me, and due to some religious crisis, I struggled hard to do well in second year, and this cause me hardship without any reward, while faithfully, my love for God increases, together with the very pressing need to love and prove my worth to my parents. Indeed, a critical juncture took place for I decided to quit overseas education to study locally, when I understand my parent's financial issue and when overseas education is not supplemented with good grades, the cost of being overseas and the proclaimed prestige is simply not worth the family sacrifice anymore.

Last year, I decided to study at Singapore Institute of Management, and found my solace in a modest university. Well, a feel of home cools me down. While I am nursing a weakened soul by my two big defeat of my life, which causes a sense of remorse in me, I play by safety and faith in my local university, studying leisurely and consistently, hoping for a good grade. My life is calm and simple, though the drizzles that my religion, Christianity, gave me, is tough to overcome with a low energy level, and while Christianity on its own holds a light of hope, simply I am not compatible with the theology that has given to me. While the praise, love and reverence of God is forever true, the guidance of life in Christian theology is not compatible to the lovely wisdom of this world from my situation, that is painted from a pragmatic, realistic, humanist and scientific outlook. While compassionate faith in an innocent man was my pillar of hope, a turn to the wisdom of life, and the love of family turns me to Buddhism. For this, I feel humbled greatly, for many drastic changes has happened in a period of five years, and I hope life to blend in well with holistical development again.

A morose wind is slowly brewing. The wisdom of God is masterly shown by how the Almighty can turn crisis to life's fine lessons, and ring a tune of hope in man. I am learning the artful service of music, a joyous gift that harmoniously eases the journey of my companions in life and me. The passion of vegetarianism also open a more brighter future with nature. I have been enlightened by one of science fundamental theory, entropy, and this changes my perception of life on Earth, and the future I may receive in good faith. I am also humbled and nurtured through the care of my aging Ema, who gracefully bowed down for a new leash of hope. My diligent aim is for a good classification on my university grade, hopefully and realistically, a earnest 1st class honours from my newly established university, that should restore my parents' confident in me. Recently, I have discovered a business plan, that through an altruistic understanding, may gives me the grace of wealth, and being a true millionaire may be in the acquisition for a homely dream. Clearly, there is a hope for a modest and bright future in this. The next five years, will be a ground of tight schedule, earnest effort, careful lifestyle, and pious prayer, that may gives me the joy that life may generously give, to clean up my tarnished reputation, and allows for a bountiful provision that will secures me in peace for the rest of life understandably. These are trying times, and these are interesting times. Now, may Brian, a learning man, rise to the occasion of grace, and tune in to the healing wind of compassion, love and peace that refines the heart of good intention into good reality, and cement a well-embraced future for the goodness that life brings for the deserving. I place my future in the weaver of my soul, Kuan yin, the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy.

If you tack yourself to friendship, you can attribute this to an attack of love.

Attachment to good friends is indeed one of the lasting joys of our life, and by investing in a relationship, we understand more of each other as well as relive life's good moments together as ambassador of grace. A tack to a friend is like two masses with gravity attracted to each other, and the mutual goodwill is attacked to the higher attribute called friendly love.

Careful social interaction does sustain a relationship and the elation of emotion is clearly endeared when heart to heart coincide in honesty and trust. Love is the magical formulae of this world, and every true success includes love as an essential ingredient. Success with friends usually begins with a good purpose, and this good purpose is emphasized from a magnanimous heart of servitude. True friends serve each other, share with each other, accompany each other through various times, and like a two man canoe, eventually reach shore today. A hearfelt glory is gifted to the golden sun, and kudos to a breezy wind on the paradise when two people reached the shore of social success.

Of cause, a faithful friendship is orchestrated by timely get-together occasion and each remember the other's situation, character, purpose and build on a wise and fruitful future together, to journey for a long term endeavor akin to a golden sunset with two gracefully paced coconut tree. When a semblence of joy is seen in the face after a dialogue of soulful hearts, through the passage of decades, over various issues, events, and topical discussion, an understanding is profoundly shown on the hearts of many that two navigators have finally fused their hearts to a faithful friendship, firmly embedded in love. For this, the world celebrates, and a personal heaven of hearts is revealed.

Ease the judgement, advance the compassion

Livers are compassionate about life, and often live life to the maximum potential. Livers are normally eloquent talkers, taking positive actions always, and are always empathetic about life. A good example is of two runners, one who finish about a good distance before the other. A liver will either cheer him on to finish the last lap, or will even run alongside the other runner as an encouraging effect for the finishing touch.

Today, I wish to discuss about a paradigm concerning judgement and compassion. While life deems that reality is in need of both judgement and compassion, through a careful understanding, we find that the soft, graceful and potential-harnessing people often choose compassion instead of judgement. This is a classical example. When a two years old baby chooses to walk but fall down, the parents often have two choices. The first choice is to encourage the child to walk again and even hold the hand for a guided walk, and now, this enacts the feel of compassion. The second choice is simply to mention, "Baby dear, you cannot walk yet," and this is judgement. Pause for a while, and feel what is the effect between the two reaction. Compassion actually refines and encourages growth, while judgement simply limits the baby not to walk for that moment. Well, I hope you choose wisely. Now, to a issue closer to students heart. A teacher who have compassion for a student's talent is likely to develop a student who shines like an achiever star, while a limitation judgement may prevent the student from going the extra mile to improve himself. This is emphasized exactly to the same effect for a boss and worker model. I guess the world needs more of compassion, and less of judgement, and this is more soothing to people's feeling and rhythmes in more with the passion of life. Trust a liver to be nurturing and guiding, for compassions moulds the loving heart for excellence. Make excellence your way of life, and we can watch a field of starry sky glows harmoniously under the umbrella of compassion.

Impressed by health

Health is a passion that I feel should be well-impressed upon in our life. I felt that life is more charming and fruitful if we can live to our maximum, and this longevity is blessed from a healthy state of being. Therefore, once again, health is the best elixir of success, more important and fundamental than material gains.

Everytime when a person goes to swim, to jog, to exercise in various safety sports, a dosage of reward is impressed upon the person, and contributes to the healthy sustainance of life. A person is like a beautiful seed, and the fertile soil, the water, the sunlight and the oxygen are the healthy supplements, akin to exercise and nutrition, that expresses the essense of floral fragrance and colourful love. Well, both impression and expression are essential to the karma of a person, and while the Earth is our light and mirror, a good expression improves the impression of the person, and health is one of the most valuable impression that one can receive, as from the basic of life, we can have our love, joy and happiness.

From the science perspective, I understand that life is a matter of discipline, enforcing goodness, obedience to authority, service, and having fun and leisure. Well, in the matter of nutrition, a good supplement of vitamins and minerals, with the correct quantity of proteins and carbohydrates allows for essential envelop of sustainance in body condition. Exercise is a refining agent, and good mood wires and prunes the brain metabolism to create a healthy faucet that confines the body to a life of peace and joy. This is readily a blueprint for good health, in the provision that good morals and purpose is faithfully adhered to.

For us, I only have the adage that we receive what we deserve, and a golden rule is to always be good, listening and in service, and a daily comtemplation of good work is the start of unconditional love. To a golden soul, atlas God has a living reason for the faithful life, and that is our longevity, everyday in bliss and a happy state.

Happy National Day, Singapore

Today I am happy. My country, Singapore, is celebrating the nation's 42th national day. The day is well and peaceful, serene in ambience, and my being is absorbed by the celerity of homeliness. Well, festive moods reigns in the feel of the environment and my dear fellow Singaporean happen to assimiliate a sleeping town in the morning. I understand the situation, and I come to guess that tonight will be a party fusion for the cosmopolitan population. Fireworks are the main attraction for the discerning, while the enthusiast may watch the national day performance from their television. Our respected Prime Minister will also be giving his national day message, which is regarded gracefully in the hearts of all the citizens. Today, I am remaining home. Maybe I should wear red and white tonight, my colour of patriotism.

In my heart, through the years of endeavor and careful maneuver, Singapore has come well-endowed and robust in the development. This is indeed an earmark of achievement for a small country who gained independence in 1965 to actually become a world leading countries in multi-dimensional fields. To a common citizen like me, this is the feel of an evolving garden city that embraces trends of improvement, and for this, I am glad to have called Singapore my home. May our Singapore continue to prosper.

Compassion bound the family together

Indonesia, while an average country by the benchmark, is a haven of nolstagic harmony for I have my paternal relatives with me. The streets on its own invites a sense of familiarity, though only with my family does the city of Jakarta provides security.

Compassion is like a red ribbon that binds the family together. I confessed that my paternal relatives' family in Indonesia is the second closest to me, after my maternal relatives' in Singapore. Well, first in order is my aunty and uncle, both cosy, at ease and romantically steadfast at their prime. I admired them for their steadiness, and I ever noticed my uncle cooked maggi mee for my aunty even though the household has several servants. My cousin is in solidarity with his wife, and they have two prized babies, one being Kenrich and the other being Jiahui. I feel the joy of both babies, both being the fountain of life that collectively connects the family like a ribbon of love. Compassion abounds in this family, and the three generations interact everyday in a rhythm of love, and the cadence is of prudence, concern and togetherness. Outings are simple, to the mall, to restaurants and to the healthy swimming club, and from here, we can notice the mettle of the relationships, where a living foundation is established that nourishs the family soul by the various activities.

I admired this family for their wise understanding of each other, and their unity. For this, I understand that their long term plan is to focus on each other in the family, and this builds up the joyous bond that each member of this family cherish. For me, I am like their hydrogen bond, and I still provide some form of complementation to their family while I was in Indonesia. At my free time alone, sometimes at night, I just hug my Pooh bear, a symbol of care and acceptance.

Kuan Yin, the seamstress of our heart

Kuan Yin is the befamed Goddess of Compassion and Mercy. She is a shining star from heaven that is soft in hue and white in nature. Well, today, I would like to mention why I came to be a disciple of Kuan Yin, and the great value she has on my life.
Ema, a woman I professed to love from childhood, with my enjoyable muffin, is a woman of religious resilience, faith and blessing, being in Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, for her entire lifetime of 79 years. This has shown her inspiration faith and trustworthiness in the Goddess Kuan Yin. My precious Ema life is a gracious testimony that behold my family in firm grace, and I am deeply grateful for the love my Ema gave us, and I will cherish Kuan Yin as my Goddess, for I understand that grace and mercy has to be cherished for the inner value to sparkle like rainbow. For this, I vowed to keep my life good.
Now, some of my friends understand that I used to be Christian. While I am still supportive of Christianity in some aspects, I feel Kuan Yin love is more holistic, more understanding of humanity and the light is all-embracing in her theology and compassion. My Ema, upon her bed of grace and mercy, told me earnestly and soulfully to accept Kuan Yin, for she also knew my life during that period was not truly sparkling. I lost three years of school time, am on medication, and is also feeling the worthwhile humility of recovering from my character flaws, and for this I am resourcing a healing compassion. The Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, Kuan Yin, perfectly suits my being, in a conforming understanding of my past, and she gave me a hope and a future. For my honour to my paternal family, I have to remain steadfast in my faith in Kuan Yin, and for my Ema, as well as my future, I turned to Buddhism. As a man, I am ingratiated with the compassion Kuan Yin infused into me.
Kuan Yin is interested in moulding my heart, and refining us in her holy water, for a gentleman to emerge from the maverick that Brian is. I love Kuan Yin. I ever recall a special girl bought a red ribbon from Takeshimaya, for her family when I joyously accompanied her in good compassive grounds. Well, I hope Kuan Yin will bestows this faithful red ribbon upon my life too. To God we trust and have gratitude for.

Confusion and Infusion

The great sage of China, Confucius, once mention, "You do unto others as others do unto you." This world we live in is a world of individuals, and each has a unique flavour to bless and enrich this world with. While we may not know the thoughts of other without communication, Carl Jung, a famous psychologist once mentioned, our human consciousness is all connected to a collective world consciousness. Therefore, if you have true concern, you may feel the heart of others, and understand the beauty that their humanity glow from.

Confusion is the understanding of each other, as each other feels the heart of each other, and come to a position where both see each other eye to eye on the same frequently. In a world of variance, there are many viewpoints, and through confusion, a clear heart connection takes place, and by a miracle, both party understand each other. Now, compatibility and complementation are part and parcel of a confused group, and by the virtue of enlightened individual, an awakened soul may feel the magic and truth in social group dynamics. Praise God that we are made for social intercourse, and we have compassion in the fabric of love, care and kindness.

Now, infusion is a direct address of oneself from another, and is a one way communication. Everytime, when we go to school, our cheerful teachers infuse us with lightful ideas, and our newspaper infuse us with daily understanding of our environment. If our hearts are concerted in holy concern, the grace of God may comfort us with his incandescent shine, that feels heavenly and comfortable to our soul. Like a nurturing parent, our heart will be filled up with joy, grace and peace, and there is only an encouraging ambience to the music of this world.

To infest joy and fun to colour life

Joy. This concept rings the altruistic nature that life is to man. The sacredness of life is deeply intertwined with the joy, which is a fundamental reason for the foundation of life. I feel that the pursue of joy is noble, loving, caring, peaceful and gracious, for joy binds the heart in an envelop of light, bringing the radiance of life, laughter, happiness and lots of warm sunshine smile to the life of people. A man with joy garners blessing from his neighbours, and his neighbour is likely to be infested by his joy, contagious in all the goodness life can bring. Like a good man begets good, a joyous man begets joy, and a joyous man is easily encased in the light of society, for a shelter of grace is in his niche and he is easily likely to continue doing good.

There is different category of joy, and in this case, I love to reiterate the true joy is not just instant gratification, though instead attribute life to a building up of a heavenly tempo, that strengthened the soul in the love of God, for a steady cruise through time. When we reached our elderly age, joy would be naturally to our soul, and there is only room for gratitute, smiles, appreciation and praises.

One type of joy is about to entertain and being entertained in return. People of this joy tends to have a lot of friends, being spontaneous, and feeling like the world is a magical play for them. Another type of joy is about love, and when caring emotions and expressions are interplayed by people, a fusion of grace adds to the riches of the heart, centralized in God's holistic care. One more kind of joy is about success in the world, by making fine, good and wise decision, that is for the benefit of self and the joy of all, and this bless life, through the frame of the past, present and future, and everyone is happy. Well, I believe in having a mixture of all three type of joy, and everyone can have joy, easily received so as to freely give. The favour is to find your balance.

2nd Law of Thermodynamic's as the theory of creation

I personally feel that entropy is a discovery waiting to be recovered. Entropy, by analysis of the word means en-tro-py. En is a prefix that means in togetherness, tro is a syntex that means light and order, while py is an agreement to enclose this word by the grace of God. Now, when we mean entropy can only increase, we understand that order and light can only increase, and for this, we understand and respect the firm benevolence that God create this universe in his image, in his glory, in his perfection, for his living creations to live in and enjoy.

An analogy here will be the analogy of a plant, for plant, being nature's graceful organism, transform a pure light energy into a highly organised energy essense of beautiful order and form in a storage molecular sphere. If we delve into the molecular form, the crystalline and precise arrangement of light energy converted into atomised structure configured by various spectacular energy like gravity, electromagnetic and nuclear forces. This is like a magical process that brings more order and form to pure energy that we know is like the understanding of infinity, a energy that is not that specific, of holiness and can be transformed into more specified and defined form. This is the magnificent transformation from nothingness to matter, from spirit to form, and from the ethereal to the ordered universe. This transential energy brings about joy and wonder that encapsulate light into life through the essential wonder of creation, that is the honour of God, and through the spirit, an intelligent mind develop that is us, life beings in matter and spirit, yet one with the holiness of God.

Now, when we learn of the increasing disorder that is bestowed upon us, we understand that dis, is the blessing of us, lower sentient beings from a higher power, collectively known as God. Rejoice, for life in our Earth is the best present. Now, remember, energy in the universe is constant, just changing form from one state to another, and we all may conjecture that there will always be life, good and referential, in the grace of Earth.
