Tomorrow Is Never Promised But It Shall Come

what will tomorrow brings...

What should we be thankful for? Life and living is the only thing that you need to be thankful

Do your best when you are well, alive and able
There is nothing that you cannot do within your means
What the mind thinks, it becomes
Nobody can wrestle away your thoughts ...except death
We must be thankful for the "will & power to change, to adapt & prosper"

Be thankful 感恩

This is a booster to virility; strength, energy, and a strong sex drive - manliness
Earlier, it was used to treat babies with heart problems in India
The best business is to sell virility to men and beauty to women
And, selling longevity to the rich, powerful and famous
Nonetheless, Man (Humans) has weaknesses 

Whatever! Wealth can never buys health

A dying man will very willingly give up everything to live on
But, when your time is due, nothing can change the fact
Help others and help will come your way in due course
Nobody can beat Providence 天意; the provision given & predisposed

When you are tired, rest
Rest if you must but never quit 
If you can help, please help
If you cannot help or do not want to help, do not make others lives even more difficult

Your future is yours to build
 
In the animal farm, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others
The world will never be equal; the earlier you accept, the better you live

Within your means, you shall push the frontiers
We are all born for a role; a specific role

做好本分

The best balance is  阴阳 - strive your best for what you want & leave the outcome to crystalize
Tomorrow is never promised but it shall come

Money Is Not Everything; Be Ready To Share

money, money & money ....

When you walked, walked and walked in search for your next meal and to find the dollars and cents to support your family
Not only the spirit and mind wore out, your shoes too
Where is the dignity, integrity and hopes of living? SAD...

Life may be difficult but it should not be made worse and more expensive than already was
The taxes and higher charges & tax upon taxes are damning
But, why are the commoners accepting the additional burdens with minimum to zero resistances? Resigned to fate, i guess

Money is a problem to the poor and rich
The former can't survive while the latter haven't have enough
The food kitchens' Q are getting longer
Suicide rates are up for the young and elderly

Can a Nation be deemed prosperous and progressive when the top enjoys 85% of luxury & income and the 15% share the crumbs? You decide👌👌👍

Looks great, bright and prosperous but ...
Hidden within the greatness and grandeur is ...
Alas! Who will understand the heartaches and pains of the suffering poors? Not the ruling class
Disagree? Ok la

I am not the decider nor Ombudsman
I am a poor blogger ~ ventilating
Shout until the throat is hoarse does not mean anything nor results
Will tomorrow be better? I prefer "it is better now", not tomorrow
Will the next 50 years or 100 be better? I prefer the better is now than 50 or 100 years...

I live today and everyday that & when I am breathing; tomorrow may never come

I am not cut out to be a politician neither am I interested
Since young, I do not succumb to bullying and hate bullies & Bruce Lee was an inspiration
We are 东亚病夫 no more; how can we as "the yellow descendants龙的传人" not care for one another? Do care and share

Everyone has some pride; forgo the ego but keep your principle
His T-shirt says alot
I may smell but I am the best Chef
Pretty faces cannot last nor tolerate hunger
What prettiness is there when one is famished? Nil/Zero

Have a good laughs with my satirical blog...& if you some spare change, please use them to help the less fortunate

GOD rewards your compassion and care

Health & Staying Healthy

health is the only wealth...

There is no wealth, fame, power and happiness without health
Death is the leveller
The incessant madness to collect more and stashing more monies are results of greed & 'bullying'
The commoners slog, strive and struggle to remain afloat & their strengths is in "staying healthy"
Without health, their lives will be 'gone to the dogs'; the unmonied person is worse than a beggar
Society has move so fast, too fast indeed, that many are left behind and struggling 活生生的
The bourgeoisie and the proletariat are becoming one; ruled by the elite few


Making a livelihood生活 and struggling活生生 to stay alive are world's apart
The former can make do while the latter struggles
Life should not be toyed with and made harder as we work for a living & not live to work
100 years is only 36,500 days & many cannot achieve 2/3s to 3/4s
Why bother about heaven and hell when living on Earth is worse than Hell? Karma is the adjuster
Make no mistake; live well and live best whatever comes

Whatever fits
Smile, scream or weep; time still moves
Never cry over spilled milk
Walk pass all the difficulties with ease
There is no prize in wallowing in self-pity
道理很多 常识很难找或做
Happiness lightens the heart

Smiles leave behind emo-energy & cosmic strengths
Wrinkles of smiles do not show on the face
The wrinkles you see on faces are carved over the years of agony, frowns and disappointment
Smile; you arrived crying & you better return happily and smiling
The worldly smiles win admirers 

The smiley faces of this crew changed history
Before their journey, the Japanese ruled with brutality, coercion, looting & cruelty
If you use moral suasion to negotiate with bullies & dictators, it's futile
Fighting fire with fire is the decider

There is no right or wrong; you may need the pains to stop further destruction and sufferings 

f

An "Order", a "Command" must be respected & executed in a timely manner
Will history be any different without the "Fat Boy"? Probably; the burning of Hell in Nagasaki & Hiroshima brought the message home to them

I do not advocate violence
But, if need be, fire shall stop further fire
Life needs no violence but violence needs to be exterminated with any means
Fight to win ; do not just fight

The healthy few shalt rule the weaken crowd
All messages shalt be delivered without a doubt
If need be, the healthy few shalt floor the elite, dictatorial & dominant group
Nobody can or will be bullied forever

Nothing Is Easy

nothing is easy...

All that glisten is not gold
The lighted city harbors costs yet opportunities
But, what value does a city holds if it is Soulless
The vibrancy of the city is in her people
The presence of lively and highly spirited populace is like a match-light in total darkness

What sparkle is not the hardware but the lives populating the city 

Giving up and leaving the city is a loser's choice
The sunny island was usurped of its Soul where money overrode compassion and share
Empty promises rules the roost 

The rivers open into the sea
As you venture out, your opportunities widen
The route to success is paved with myths of distractions to delay those in doubts
There is a need to be focus, determined and self-motivated with sprinklings of grits

Who wins? Definitely not the weak hearted and discouraged

The Winner/Champion is always being challenged as there is only one Numero Uno
The only way is to keep improving on the lead & tired off the challengers
GOD don't determine who wins the trophy but shalt bless those who persists
Given a chance, everyone must try as giving up is never a choice

Prosperity, luck, happiness are all associated with 发
Frankly, happiness is a choice

August - The Power Of Our Mind

augustɔːˈɡʌst/adjective: august respected and impressive....

 

Sometimes, you venture into the unknown and returns alive unaware that you have just walk passed

valley of death

Nobody dies if his time is not up

Go forth, explore and discover

There is no limit what you can do

What the mind tinkles with, it crystalizes and manifest

 

Death does not hit the aged

Deaths call upon anyone when it's time to go

Death ...the leveller

The aristocrats, rulers, working class, peasants levelled 平起平坐 when death knocks

 

Young is when energy brings you everywhere and anywhere

Mid-life is where problems abound; 上有老，下有小 眼睛一开 问题就来 

 Old age is where preservation rules; no energy to rush, little problem to be found

 

Morning is where everything begins again

The continuing agony, problems, frustration.. were issues not left behind last night

It is best to resolve the bad & whatever before sleeping

Impossible? No 放不下是因为还可以扛

Let the new day be new

 

酸甜苦辣 春夏秋冬 这就是人生 

The world loves a Winner & stays away from losers and whiners

You must make a sane choice

Keeping everyone within you yet staying afar from the 'leeches of acquaintances'

Be useful to the world but avoids being used

Work smart, not hard

The best player succeeds after loads of pains, sacrifices and rejections but everyone only see his success

Life is so easy

Always show the best side of yourself

And, the world goes gaga with you

Keep cool, stay calm & remains healthy

Time & My Bucket List

getting ready to change & to begin changing...

The logic of change begins with ourselves but few realize
Many try to change others to effect change but, alas! Never
Using the same formula and method to solve an existing problem is a mule's choice
If it can & shall, the problem would have been extinguished
There is method in his madness

Sitting by idly & alone is not loneliness
It allows mental indulgence发呆 ~ to slip into void-space
A corner where dreams and reality mix at no risk
Getting up and unwind does not mean avoidance of reality
Some times, some day ~ this is where sanity revives

Keep away from negative people

The power of realization lies in the self; nobody can bail you out of misery and failure

7+ billion Earthlings peppered around Earth
Sadly, they are broadly classified as Whites, Blacks & Yellows ...the skin color
What about aborigines? Unclassified
During natural disasters, the world becomes united to save and salvage
Blood donation rise
When saving lives, nobody ask if the blood comes from "white, black or yellow"  
Yet, they discriminate racistly when well and alive
Wars and destruction are all man-made

GOD did not create 'classes' of people but human beings

July is 2/3 gone and the year is more than half utilized
Time and tides wait for no man
The tough gets tougher in a challenging world
Nothing is promised

Winners get the trophy and write history
Losers bite the dusts
Complaints and remaining indifference never change the course of life; it prolonged sufferings
If you want to make a difference, stand tall, adopt changes & the world change with you

I have been compacting time, adding stress to myself
I am in a hurry as i aged & move nearer to expiry
My bucket list is full with much to do
Will tomorrow comes? Yes
If it doesn't, my bucket list expires too
I am a Lone Ranger

The Lightness Of Living

near water is the beginning of civilization...

The beauty of life is it sprouts out of nowhere
Water is the beginning of life and living
The tiny amoeba is the catalyst to begin with
The beauty of Nature inspires
Soon, summer will give way to Autumn
There is a challenge to remain unchanged

Every morning is the sweetest beginning
The darkest gives way to the dawn break
Where heavenly breeze warms the Earth
And the birds & flowers display their spritely colors & songs; hymns soothe any ailing Souls
Where & when morning has broken & new inspirations, opportunities and lucks are laxly sprinkled and rule 

A good guy is like the candle
He burns so that others will be brightened up
No person can nor should burn both ends of the candle
He who use youth to trade for health is foolish
Every selfish persons cannot live to enjoy an honest harvest
There are no fools & stupidity has no known cures
Be yourself, be genuine
Nobody is any poorer if each plays their roles well
The Angels will guard your well-being

Live simply and enjoy the days as you pass
Luxuries are not a necessity
The warmth and lightness of being lift our Souls
Why bother to struggle if you know your time is limited
The time in one's hands slip easily and naturally
Be the smart person

Living happily and lightly allow you to float through the difficulties you encounter
Nothing is permanent

Go... Find a niche, your private space & you will live well

Stock Markets @Lunar Eclipse

life goes in cycles and so does stockmarket...

The following was written in January 2018:


Lunar Eclipse @ Blue Moon

The Blue Moon – second of two full moons in one calendar month – will pass through the Earth’s shadow on January 31, 2018, to give us a total lunar eclipse; the first of two Blue Moons in 2018, the  super Blue Moon eclipse!

Typically, a total  lunar eclipse  also coincide with a sharp turndown of the financial market but this 'once in a blue moon total lunar eclipse' seems to have a reverse effect. Stockmarkets, the world over, have been rising.

Will it last?  I do not think so.
I  hazard to guess the drop will be sharper and more damaging in due course.
For those who cannot wait to put your money into the markets for fear of 'missing out' ~ Good Luck
I would rather be late than sorry; 31st January 2018 is not very far away

There are two total Lunar Eclipses this year :
31/1/2018 & 28/7/2018
Come whatever may
Stay healthy & be happy in this depressing year
No amount of regrets and complaints can stop a challenging year 
Just go with the flow

Tough time don't last; tough people do

This blue moon will usher in dynamic changes
Where dynasties change and wealth switches ownership
Where you least expect will happen
Where the impossible is made possible
The sudden change of fortune is real & immediate
If you are not there, however & whatever changes is/are irrelevant


 The following charts of different stock markets as reflected (one-year chart)

 The next Total Lunar Eclipse is 28/7/2018.
Will the impact be another drop in the stockmarkets?
 Yes, very likely

 The fools and his money will soon part

                                                                                                  

A Better Tomorrow Starts Now

free, idle or simply nothing better to do...

Being free is different from idling
There are times when I must do something
Though I may not need to do anything
That's the toughest

When the mind idles, let it idle
But, the idle mind is a devil's workshop
Worst, mine is filled with webs of wasteful ideas
I cannot allow myself to be wasted away

By proceeding to do something out of nothing
I inevitably step onto the wrong direction
I seek guidance in the AlMighty but Her instructions is "moved not & be contented"
Yet, I move
Human follies aplenty as we seek guidance yet slides into dismay paths
The end result is nothing but loss of resources, time and self-agony

A simple "Good Morning" is what I often send to many friends and acquaintances
Some respond, many don't
Some wonder why I'm so free👀😀
I do it to motivate, encourage and "say hello"

There are a few who can never respond as they have pass on
They happen to be the nice ones who returned my "Hellos"
Do not ever think it's age ~ young ones pass on too

I have read and learn that I should "ignore those who never respond"
Good advice; I just send when my heart agrees
Maybe, some day, they will never ever receive my "Good mornings & hellos again" ~ after I pass on

This is an old shack/house in a dilapidated village in Penang
But, within lives a Master whose orthopaedic skills the western doctors and science would admire & yearn to have
He cures many with broken bones & illnesses that western doctors termed "vege-state" or "hopeless"
He don't seek fame nor fortune

I have known him for many years & have referred some to see him 江湖神医 ; only those who believe will visit 缘分

He is busy at most times and his patients come from 'words of mouth'; but when I visit him, he will always make himself available
I am honored

What has this to do with "free, idle or simply nothing better to do..."
Plentiful😅😍

I try to help or offer help to the less privilege, poor and less fortunate
I contribute to society in my own small way
A peck of water in the desert is better that a feast in the oasis
I try to fill my free time with an awesome bucket lists instead of straying

Some day soon, I will also leave this world
I shall do whatever I can to contribute to the betterment of Mankind
There is no shadow of greatness, just like drops in the ocean, I shall play my role
My intent is clear; to build a better tomorrow

Prepared Confidence

be prepared, being prepared is ...

How prepared can prepared be? No one can be 100% prepared
Preparing in excess is a "wolf-cry", that is, fearmongering
Terrorism; It's not if but when is fear mongering
No one will tempt a bombing or attack by being provacative
We have the best defence in SEAsia & who's our enemy(ies)? It's a expensive egoistic game
Sure, we need to defend against potential enemy(ies) but at what price? A princely tale of gold

Examinations and job interviews are showdown of personal capabilities
Either you are prepared (read: lucky) or you can tear your hairs off
Between luck and being prepared, I'd take luck
My memory bank is expansive but without luck, I may still struggle for answers
Interview is tricky especially of the foreign Head, HR has already decided to employ one of their own
However prepared, the foreigner Head, HR is prepared to dis-employ you

Have a good laughs; tattoos bear wrong words, so does a T
She, and many others, are simply victims of commerce
The fine prints do not matter as bright colors galore & shine
Tattoos bearing different languages are often a laughing print
Don't do anything you can't get away, rescind or get reprieve
The laughter is always louder and funnier on you

We prepare for growing up, education, settling down, growing old & even departure
But, many are not prepared for health, a healthy life & living
It is the quality of life, not quantity
The old prepares for the young and generations after generations are burdened and worried
儿孙自有儿孙福
Worry not for tomorrow is never promised

The sea is calm but the undercurrent is unseen
The successful man never displays his weaknesses
The gambler never tells of his losses
The conman is persistently confident and lying
The politician speaks half truths
Simply put, the world loves a winner; by any means

To succeed, never show the weaknesses in you
You can walk away but you cannot fall
The more prepared you are, the less likely that you will fall ~ the false facade

Be prepared for everything you want and wish for but never loss confidence

Stay Positive & Stay Alive

l

the beginning of everything...

Ideas and goals origination start with a 'dream' of possibility
Your ideal may not be practical nor can it be manifested
But, nobody is sure
Flying was impossible until the Wrigth Brothers
Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon but could not find 嫦娥
Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Mt Everest with Shepa Tenzing Norgay


The current men's world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009
The women's world record of 10.49 seconds set by American Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988 remains unbroken.
I can try but sub-10s is impossible & the winner may not be the fastest; a peaceful mind wins all


BYD Auto in China employs 200,000+ persons/employees
Foxconn has 1,200,000 employees on its payroll
Facebook employs 25,000 only
Wal-Mart Stores Inc has 2,000,000 employees
If jobs give sanity and dignity to humans, large employers must be the biggest guardian angels
Will Singaporeans find a localized guardian angel who'd give them jobs? Hopefully ...soon

These are bilimbi (sour starfruits)  
They've grown abundantly on my little garden
I took every effort to nurture the tree with TLC
Moral of the story is "put in an honest day work and you will harvest in due course"
For years, I sleep around 1am and I'm up and running by 6am. Why? As I am a slow learner, I use the extra 3 hours (ideal sleep 8hours - 5 = 3) to read, learn and make up for my weaknesses

Nobody is stupid nor very knowledgeable
Give yourself the chance to be better ...& you will
Time is the best friend; either you walk into progress or you may remain stagnant

前人种树后人乘凉
We build for the future but the future belongs to the children of today
Similarly, if we pollute earth, someday the kids will suffer
Parents work for the kids (future)
There is no 'fruits of success' if nobody works for it
The rich and elites cannot live in a sea of poors
The Generals cannot win wars without soldiers in the trenches

Almost half a year is gone
What have you done & what have I achieved? Nothing much
But, time pass diligently & unknowingly
Like it or not, nothing is permanent
Live the best today and everyday
The commonest language is the "Smile"😀😁

Every living things exist until the last breathe expires
