The Fear For The Future.

I am someone who is very close to my family, especially my parents.

And they will always tell me stories that I like to hear. They like to tell me things throughout their lives, and how now and then used to be different.

But hearing the stories of their generation, I sometimes get a cold chill thinking about how my generation is going to turn out, not to mention how the next generation is going to turn out, because every preceding generation governs the outcome of the next.

In simple terms, our parents determine what we become, and in turn, we determine what our children become, and etc. Same goes in the bigger scope I call a generation. It's like a cycle of life.

But in today's world, things are changing rapidly.

Today, children are being more and more outspoken day by day. Before this, parents govern the family and children have less say. Some people might see it as a dictatorship, which is true if children are not at all given the space to think themselves. But like I state countless times before, everything has a right timing to it, and it some instances parents need to be initial dictators to their children's life while they are still growing up, of course practicing liberalism at the same time for the children to be independent.

So children nowadays develop their own way of thinking earlier on in life, which is good. But what if their way of thinking is still too immature due to lack of experience, and can result in a decision that will be regretted later?

How many teenage pregnancies are present in this world today? How many underage drinkers and drug doers are present in the world today?

And in the future, what if there comes a point where the parents do not exercise control over their children anymore, and things will get out of control at some point where the older and wiser no longer determines what the younger does? Wouldn't it be chaotic for this situation we have right now to get out of control?

Hmmm, I fear for the future.

And more specifically, I fear for how future generations will regard the negative things today. A code in life that I hold is that everything starts small in the world, and then it amplifies and becomes something big in the end. (Note: Chaos Theory and Chain Rule).

For example, specifically for Muslims, drinking and drugs and sexual relations before marriage is a big big sin. But I do know that even people who are about my age who actually drink, do drugs, and have sex before marriage, although maybe not in the open.

But imagine that this situation is not remediated. In the future, they might actually have the balls to say that "hey, smoking is Haram as well, but we still do it. So why not go the whole way and do other bad stuff as well. It's just like smoking right?".

Also, online 'gambling' games are of concern as well. I learnt how to play poker when I was 9, of course without the money and the bets. I took it as a game of chance and luck, and not a means of making money, coz that is gambling. But today, the popularization of online casino games such as Draw Poker, Texas Hold Em and BlackJack really gives you the feeling of actually gambling in a casino, and although the 'money' that we win is virtual, we actually feel the joy of winning and the frustration of losing.

I started playing these online games when I was twenty, when I was already matured enough to think on my feet and set what is right and what is wrong. But what if in the future, people who are five years old start playing these games, and consequently they are used to the idea that playing these games in the outside world, even with money, is alright? They wouldn't know it is gambling right? They just know that it's a game. So consequently, even gambling will become an acceptable thing even in societies that once regarded them as a hugely sinful act.

Take all this and add the non control mode exercised by parents, the world can surely be chaotic.

So, in writing this long piece, what is the point I am trying to point out?

All I am saying is that ay preceding generation will determine how the next one is going to turn out. It is a cycle of life, where the child learns from the parents and will endown what they know to their children, and so forth.

Also, everything in this world starts small. What starts as a small bet, will eventually turn out to be a fully fledged gambling game, if they were not confined to what they should only be.

So, if you are reading this, please realise. Every generation is vital to the next. Think about it.

Poker Face

I just love it when I can read people's expressions.

I have to say that I'm not good at reading people's emotions though. Sometimes I am oblivious to even the most obvious of expressions that people show.

But an observation that needs to be made is this:

Some people are good at hiding their emotions, and some are better than others. I just can't get into their headspace and try to think like them.

Some people have magnificent poker faces, and you really think that they are okay when they tell you so, when in fact they are really not.

Like in poker, we will be able to read an expression through experience, and through years of trial and error. Experience is the best teacher, and reading people's emotions proficiently is a skill that does not come in a day.

Unlike before, now I am more sensitive (at least I try to) to other people's feelings. There are of course, some people who are oblivious and continue to do so, because they just don't care about what people think.

They gamble in the game. They don't play with skill.

And at times, I try to be a poker face my self. I am brought up in a way that I do not show how I feel at times. Everything has a moment, has a right timing to it. Therefore being outrightly 'out of place' with emotions can be deadly and even destructive to the game.

So when in life, play your cards right. Being a poker face is the best.

Two Hours Of Sleep.

Drowwsy....
My eyelids' feelin really drowwwsy.
I need some darkness fill my vision.
I need some sleep some juvenation..

Walking..
I'm walking fast i'm walking weakly..
I'm feeling weak I'm feeling empty.
I'm falling down I see a small glimpse of light,
And darkness fills my sight..

Two...hours of sleep
Two hours of snoozing
In the peaceful slumber
Forget what the world can offer

Two hours of sleep,
Is enough to make my day.

Energy.
My veins is filled with gritty energy
I feel the power lifting up my body.
My head is light and filled with glee.

Two...hours of sleep
Two hours of snoozing
In the peaceful slumber
Forget what the world can offer

Two hours of sleep,
Is enough to make my day.

Two hours of sleep...
It's the best you give to me.

91st post.

To commemorate the 90-post milestone of this blog, there is really nothing I can write that is any more serious or meaningful than the 90 posts prior to this one. So I'm just going to post mortem this whole thing...

The blog is extremely young. It is really unpretentious. It is my deepest thoughts and my deepest observations. My greatest angers and my deepest concerns.

What I write is important. Important for whoever who is writing this. This is a time capsule. One day I am going to look at this again and see the way I think before back in the day. This blog is not a diary. It is not necessarily personal. But it is a good reminder. It is a sticky note.

What I write is relevant. It is relevant in life, and afterwards. But it is also an opinion, and consequently opinions are not necessarily correct. But opinions are made based on deep thinking, and also by observing other cases and scenarios. But there are also opinions that are based on emotion, that is done at the spur of the moment.

But preserving these thoughts and ideas and observations, somehow, someday, they might come to use again. I have a belief that when we read again what we have written before, it gives a certain amount of satisfaction in that it was ourselves that came up with what we write. A simple line that we write ourselves is a lot more meaningful than what others write in books or what not.

My blog is also very secretive. I never disclose names, just situations, because only that is what matters. Maybe in years to come, I will forget who was in those situations that I described, but I will know what happened, and in the end that is what matters.

But on the most part, whatever my blog is like and however I write, I am dead proud of what I write. I am partly an artist, and I really like to see works of art form in my hands. I like to see things that I thought of in what I write, and that is a work of art in itself.

So as a 91st post, I'd like to say thank you. It's been an achievement. It's been a journey. But it won't stop yet.

Happy 90 posts! Lets see what can come up in my little head next..

Imperfections.

Imperfections are evident everywhere we look.

Imperfections are the non-ideal things that we see in everyday life. To put things in context, lets analyze perfections first.

Perfections are things that are flawless. Things that have no trace of wrong in them. Things that are, well, perfect, in any and every way. Simply put, perfections are things that are 'all right'.

So, imperfections are things that have flaws in them. Things that can go wrong.

To me, even the most carefully planned creation of man has imperfections in them. Even the most carefully built machine will eventually break down. Even the strongest man can be the weakest follower of God. Fact is, nothing is ever perfect. Nothing man made of course. And of course, man itself is not perfect.

For example, the smartest person I knew in school, does not really do well in human interactions. He studies all the time but he forgot to mix around with friends. Ends up he does not really have that much friends.

My dad is the most respectable person in my book. He is confident, clever and responsible. Except for one thing: He smokes. Now isn't that a bummer.

Furthermore, do not think ever, for a second, that people with good looks have everything. They might be good looking but are all of them religion-abiding people? Are all of them independant enough to live in this world? Do they have wits about them in order to make it in the world?

There are some people who are pretty, but they have really bad attitudes. They sulk and are really arrogant. On the other hand, their 'average' peers are a lot more humble, easygoing, and can be really good friends.

Do you think rich people have it all? Are rich people really happy living in life, knowing full well that at anytime of the day, their riches can turn into rags given the correct circumstances. I've seen reach people who drop out of school, who are still in uni not graduating. I've seen rich men holding their heads high and being really arrogant, and in return the sea of onlookers consisting of the average men despise them. Can rich people be good friends? Do they have friends who like them for who they are, and not for their money?

So we can see. Imperfections are evident everywhere we look. In every person we meet, they are never perfect. I think perfections and imperfections are perceived things, and are really subjective to the eyes of the beholder. A beautiful girl might seem so in the eyes of one man but not the other. A perfect partner in the eyes of a person might be in the characteristics and not necessarily the looks. And it can be the other way round as well.

Point is, no one is perfect, and no one ever is. We can strive to get close to being perfect. We call it self improvement. But in essence, nobody is perfect. If someone is perfect, you can be too, in one way or another.

No one is perfect. Nothing is perfect.

Smiling: What are the effects?

Recently a study has been done on the effects of smiling. Study is not rigorous and not scientific as done by scientists or psychologists. Instead, the study is done purely by observation and experience.

1. Increased happy hormones to the brain.

2. Increased optimism.

3. Increase in confidence, bravery, (and sometimes, stupidity =D )

4. A 'radiating' expression on the face.

5. Pleasant thoughts and positive minds.

6. Reduction in stress.

7. Good sense of humour

8. Loose face (muka tak ketat)

9. Healthy ideas

10. and last but not least, a positive aura and a positive effective presence.

So, what are you waiting for? smile mate. hahah.

Perfect Storms.

It's really fun to be in a storm. It's were you learn things. It's where challenges come to your doorstep. It's painful, wearying and tiring. But it's the way we learn things.

In relation to Murphy's law, isn't it funny that once in a while, all the wrong things will go wrong, all at the same time. And I mean ALL things go wrong. Nothing works out. Nothing goes right. And all at the same time. One problem comes after another..

Interesting? Why do I say interesting?

Interesting coz it's fun to see how people get their way out of situations. I lie to see solutions, but there will never be any solutions without any problems to start with.

As a person i really respect said once.. Bad choices lead to good experiences, and in the end good experiences lead to good choices. In the end all experiences be it good or bad, will be good in the long run. We just have to welcome the Perfect Storms around us.

Sang Kancil memasak Tom yum

Little does everyone know that Sang Kancil's favourite dish is the Tom Yum. Kancil really likes the succulent chicken, cooked in tom yum soup, with the blistering hotness enough to tenderise the tastebuds of many. But there is one problem though.

Sang Kancil likes to eat Tom Yum. But he does not really know how to cook tom yum. In Malaysia he used to hang out at a place called Gerai Pak Chiken Thai. Here they serve the best tom yum ever. He can stay at this place for a long long time and just eat tom yum all night long. Sang Kancil loves hot food. The hotter the food, the sweatier his forehead, the better he feels.

But now, Sang Kancil is in Australia. He boarded the Kancil Airlines to Adelaide to study Kancil Social Studies for four years. After a year without going home, he starts to reminisce his good times hanging out at Pak Chiken Thai eating Tom yum with friends until their throats can no longer give way.

But today, everything will change. Today he will, for the first time, attempt to cook tom yum. Kancil Style....

First, the ingredients. Sang Kancil went to Kancil town in Adelaide to the Central Market to get the best ingredients for his long awaited soup.

What did he get of the rack?

"Tom yum paste [check]. Onions [check]. hmm.. nope. no daun sup. nope nope. no lemongrass. Yep yep. Chillies. Chillies are good. OMG who sells instant kancil!!??? nope nope definitely not. i hope we're not related". =D

And he trotted home using his little car also called the Kancil. (Thats the reason he bought it).

And he was ready to cook.!!

Nervous. Nervous. This is the first time he cooks. Damn. What if its not as good as pak chicken's tom yum? What if its not good at all? Would his friends laugh at him? Would his parents look away in disgrace? Would pak chicken laugh out loud and say he is a useless chap even after all the long hours eating tom yum and watching football at the stall?

"No...I will not give up. I must cook!!"

Sang Kancil looked around. Left. Right. Yup. Today is the day. Today is the day I cook tom yum.

Would he succeed? Would he finally endure to cook the best tom yum he had been aspiring since he as a freshie in uni? Would he finally get the succulent taste of chicken on his lips again, with the tenderising blast of chillies hitting his taste buds??

Hmm..I guess, we will never know.........

Murphy's Law.

Definition: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

My understanding: " Things will go wrong at the worst possible time".

Common understanding: " Anything can go wrong".

Murphy's Law. It's the bane of life. But it is also the reason why life happens. Life would not happen if there are no problems  There would never be a bother for solutions if there were no problems to begin with. There would never be experience if there were no solutions. And we would never learn if there were never experiences.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It's true. At some point in life, given the kind of people we are, even the greatest marriage can suffer the deepest problems. (I emphasize marriage because it is most of the time a turning point in ones life, where one gets to a better life with someone else). Even the best company will suffer a recession. Even the best of friends will have quarrels. Even the best of countries will face a downturn.

Why oh why must everything go wrong?

Simple answer. There is something wrong with ourselves. The way we talk, walk, act. There will always be something wrong with the deepest of cores, which is our very own character. When the smallest of things has a defect, it can affect the things that come after it, or rather, that come because of it. Hence, the chain rule and the Chaos Theory. A small change in one will cause a bigger change in another.

Everything will go wrong at the worst possible times. Simple. Humans are impatient. They tend to rush when not supposed to. They tend to slow down when the otherwise is best. Simply put, everything goes wrong and adding that to the bad timing of humans, everything goes wrong at the worst possible times. The 'Perfect Storm' as a friend of mine called it.

Anything and everything will go wrong. This is absolutely true. And bearing this in mind at all times does not change the fact that everything still can go wrong. But Murphy forgot one thing in his law. Everything can go wrong, but every wrong can be righted. Every stone stumbled upon can be turned into a stepping stone. We just need the right kind of shoe to step on it. And with that, I welcome you, O Murphy's Law...

Things I come up with...

Sometimes When I chat or call or say something, there are some things that come from me that I think are pretty cool, but I am always too daft to remember them. Therefore, it is my pleasure to write them here in order for me to remember always what I've said. The meanings, and significance, is solely up to interpretation.

1. Running away from Reality.

2. Victim of extreme Victimisation.

3. Impressions: The way we act, talk, write and walk.

4. The study of artifice and subterfuge, does not bging delight in the deception of people itself, but brings delight in the conscious ability of oneself to do so.

5. Talent is a tool.

6. Everyone hides behind a smile.

7. Equations are just instruments to make decisions.

8. Nobody really ever moves on. That's just life.

9. Be unfair because the world is not ideal? Or be fair because we want an ideal world?

....and there will be more. I'll keep on updating this thing... =)

What's your blog called?

I always think that if you want to see what a person is like, see their work...It reflects who they are. But if i'm really really lazy, I like to just scan through a few lines ~ Their blog titles. (Okay I admit I'm not the most hardworking guy in the world =D)

Dreams ~ "a reason to hang on." (Yep. Dreams are a reason to hang on. No dreams, no aspirations, no aims, no reason to do anything..)

Through the looking glass ~ "dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's problems". (Hmmm.. I take it that it means dreams and experiences are today's answers to tomorrow's problems. We learn from experiences right..)

Words ~ "Are all that I have" (Hmmm....in blogs there are words, and words are all there is to tel something to the world..)

Like a Dog Chasing Cars ~  ( According to the author it is based on the song chasing cars by Snow Patrol. I don't really understand the song so I can't say what the phrase means.. I do know it's from a movie called the Dark Knight though haha)

Mayo Clinic ~ "sometimes all you need is a DifferenT perspective" (I really like this one. Very simple. But very eye catching. It might not seem so here, but open the blog and you'll see why I like this one. )

The Real World ~ (Generic Title. But this blog is exactly like what it is named.. It tells about the author and his world)

Beyond Scribble ~ "When it starts, it never stops flowing" (This is cool as well. I guess the title came about because scribbling the the most random form of written 'art', put loosely. So something beyond scribble is something so random, that it is impossible even to call it a scribble, but it is desirable nonetheless)

B.L.O.G. ~ "Aku Ingin Bermimpi". (This is really simple. I like this author. She has a lot of ideas, and her writing is very uplifting is a sense that she never really talks about serious stuff. A good escape from the usual)

La-Tahzan. ~ "Janganlah kau bersedih" (Arguably one of the most informative blogs I come to know. Not flooded with too many posts but each one has its own morals and values)

Just let me ramble away ~ "Because it makes me happy, so let it be?" (Arguably my favourite blog to read. Very all rounded. It's a lot of things compressed in one. )

Dustbin ~ "Throwing Ideas" (This is another one of my favourites. Clever ideas. Good presentation, And unmatched sense of humor. The title itself is extremely eyecatching, and astonishingly so with only three words)

My Say ~ (This blog is really really opinionated. I like it. Very simple with a minimalist approach to things but every sentence has a sting to it. )

So you can see. When I'm really really lazy. This is the only extent to what I read. Hey it's better than nothing right?? Haha =D

The Ironic Life.

My father always tells me that God is always fair, and water will always find its level. It means that whatever deeds we do, it will always get balanced because of the one simple fact that God is the fairest of all.

But the irony of it all, is that life gets ironic and takes a twist when we least expect it to. I mean when we really really have no expectations whatsoever of life and suddenly something happens that is so ironic, that you just think "God. That's really something".

Who knew that the tyke living comfortable far away and thus causing loads of trouble for other people suddenly comes back to the people he suddenly calls 'friends' and finally acknowledges them as friends in order to seek help?

who knew that at this very moment, the problem he once created comes back to haunt him and finally, if ever, he finally learns that life is hard enough without a roof on the head?

Who knew that the whole identity of a man can change in a moment's snap just because they need something of benefit to them. One can ask appropriately that if the benefit were to decease somehow, would they still act the way they do when the were seeking out your help?

Who knew that suddenly, a years silence meant nothing as compared to the sudden good guy image now showing, in theatres and movies..

Well, who knows? Some might never learn...

this is a continuation of this story : Good things come..
