You Are The Problem

suddenly, many people are saddled with problems...

If you think ghosts are scary, human are worse
You don't know what hits you until you are cheated, smoothered, deprived and destroyed by many close to you
That is the reality; ghosts don't hurt nor come near if you do not believe in their existence
Be aware and beware of sweet nothings and whispers of everything nice
Anything that is too good to be true; chances are it is

Believe in yourself

The world is polluted with greed, envy and decadence that a pure heart can hardly survive

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil is not good enough
We must "right a wrong" and speak out against evil intents
The bullies will not go away simply because you ignore them
If you need to hit back, hit hard
The fight is in the dog, not the size of the dog
Talking down to you is mental harassment; put a stop to it

In our fight against the stronger ones, nothing beats a hearty repel    
If you don't try, you'd never know
The ecosystem is filled with misinformation, half-truths, propaganda  and fake news masquerading as real
Strangely, many are bought in, regretted, frustrated but still accept these as "gospel truths"
The road to hell is paved with gold

自找苦吃 You have a choice 世上没有后悔的药
When you were mislead once, that's a mistake
When you are mislead twice, you are a fool

Seek peace
Seek serenity
Life is about making the right choice and seek salvation
All the greed-gifts earned contaminate the heart & fill one with regrets, uneasiness and discomfort
Be cool and calm
Live a simple life; the square hole upon death measures the same for everyone

Karma has no menu; it serves the same as what your desirous heart demand

Hopeful

the month of volatile movements and uncertainties ...

The last quarter of the year starts in October and it's almost the end
With 62 days before 2018 expires, i am still a wanderer
Wondering why 2018 was not economically productive nor rewarding
The struggle continues...

There were almost 95% misses with 5% consolation
There were more other people's problems that i resolved and calmly overcame than mine
Loads of "YESes" turned out to be "NOs and UNDONEs"; I coolly walk over & away
Smiles were forced upon & smiles returned

I smile; come rain, sunshine or snow
Living in agony, envy, self-pity and pains is not my life
生生养老不病时间到..死 I can accept
Live best when others live worst; that's the Art of Living
GOD never intends us to indulge in miseries

As the wintry winds kick in 寒冷的冬风
It is time to slow down, recuperate, recharge and to re-live when Spring arrives
This is the time where hurts heal and the fittest survive
This is the time to repent and not re-offend

Tomorrow is November
We step closer to the end... end of 2018, end of the year, end of ...life to be
Keep healthy, stay fit and sane and lie low to restore your even self
When the opportunity presents, pounce

Time and tides wait for no man

I remain hopeful

You Need To Provide For The Future

when the egg is broken...

Spring, summer, autumn, winter
Autumn is a time to harvest and reflect
Leaves are shed so that trees loss less vapor & energy whilst lightening up in the wake of wintry winds and chills
Nature orchestrate the change of seasons to remind everyone that 'nothing is permanent'; we need to adapt
The way forward is the end ...

Enjoy the beauty of autumn's gold as fools rush
Slow and enjoy the beauty, the breeze, the surroundings - the entire ecosystem

When life is at a cliff, there is no chance to 'give-up'; either up or over
Many have been there and returned to prosper
Some loss their grip and ...end
There is no living heroes; all heroes are dead

I am all alone when I hit the cliff many times
Many offered help but when I called upon it, I realized it was all 'lip-service'
Worse, some even benefitted from my misery
But, I survived, return, prosper and lead a quiet life away from the limelight

There are that few bosom friends
有钱有利 酒肉朋友数不清
没钱失名 真成朋友 一手抓
Everyone loves a winner
This world is ruled by 'the strongest survive and winner takes all'; the earlier you learn and accept it, the better you will be

There is a saying that 'the tyrant will kill most but will keep some"
养鸡或搞鸡场不会杀所有的鸡，有些是留下来生蛋的
Even in dictatorship or communism, there is a semblance of oppies around
While the Bull is 'worshipped' in the financial market, the Bear is equally needed
Yin & Yang coexist harmoniously
Without an egg or with a broken egg, dreams are dashed; you have to leave some for the future
If there is too much sunshine, it is a desert
Whatever you do, spare some for future needs

Stay healthy and happy
Without health, living is a misery
No amount of money can buy you health nor pays someone to suffer your pains
Get real
An egg presents future opportunity but a broken egg can only offer you an omelette

Stop Counting Beans

counting beans or beans counters...

I got this message &, cannot but, accept that it is complete route to happiness
Sleep to recuperate, exercise to stay healthy, eat to 'refuel' & finally, procreate

What is it like if human don't replace themselves? Extinct
But, with 7bil + and growing...
There is a need to conserve

There are enough food for all
But, ego, religious differences and the 'need to dominate' will destroy mankind
There is no room for human rivalries

Whoever think that I shalt rule you will die together when the desperadoes react desparately
MAD - Mutual Assured Destruction is not a joke; it's a reality

This was a nice park at EastCoast but there are so many construction on-going
The Authorities has no creativity nor wider vision in deploying the spaces to good use
After redeveloping a piece into a park, eat (F&B) & pubs, they are duplicating many along this stretch
Holy ghosts; creativity is a scarce word
Do you need so many of the same? Cut and paste
Why not leave some spaces for Arts? Singapore is short on Social Sciences application and long on hardwares
You have seafood centre, food centre & now F&B centre
Why not throw in : weekend markets, carmarts, drive-in food wagons, walkabouts for the elderly and terminal patients, ball games, performing Arts...
Give is some life, not just hardware & not just some controllable (fixed) factors

The bean counters budget billions$$ for war machines but little for health, social needs and education
If more are spent on the well-being of the people, less will be needed for fallen-comrades, medical and aftercare
Generally, the majority are apolitical
Why bother train huge armies and lethal weapons when these are destructive? The people need food, shelters and 'motivation', not arms that kill

The world will not go hungry if resources are adequately spread to meet the needs of the people
Weapons are the toys for the powerful, rich and famous
The earlier that the rich accept that 'you cannot live in a sea of poor', the better the world will be
The faster the poor accept that the 'world will never be equal', the less frustrated they'd be

Don't be a bean counter but spread the beans and joys
Saving mankind is not our job but sustaining a healthy, happy, conducive and guarded ecosystem is

Tomorrow is never promised but nobody can survive a polluted world
Death is the leveller  

Life & Death Where Deaths Cannot Wait

life and death is not a choice...

When death comes a calling, nobody can delay nor seek extension
The time to return and the method are never pre-announced
Neither are you allow any lengthy delay

My friend was near death as both his kidneys failed but he opted for a transplant; today he is well and lively
Another was healthy and vibrant but his doctors discovered that he has stage-4 liver cancer and told him he has, maybe 3-4weeks to live - this is the 2nd week
A shot out of the blues; one return from death's door & the other to enter

Is there such a thing as "Wait, I am too young to die or I am not ready to go"? No, it's all pre-programmed
Some called this destiny

Make the best of today & live to the fullest
No matter what strike you, you mood & you stature in life
Do all that you can and want to
The butterfly takes its first flight when its wings are dry after metamorphosis
You cannot experience nor enjoy transfiguration without the miracle of Nature's conversion
 Live to the fullest before the last breathe leaves

In life, experiences count
Looking back, the forward can be plotted
We can learn from books, mentors, guardians and experiences...
Every step forward builds upon an earlier lead
We learn from the past to make the future better
Disruptive knowledge and invasive methods will cannibalize & rework existing flows

Will technology and AI displace and replace humans? No, but the ways forward change

When time is compacted, the speed of change accelerates
Stress level increases and the 'normal' is no longer relevant
In effect, the human race is racing faster towards the end ...
Do you need to rush? No, the end will come ultimately

Beautiful? Yes
Real? Maybe
This part of town was reclaimed from the sea
The leisure boats were there but cannot enjoy a cruise by the bay
The pride of the financial town built for the locals but 'infested' by foreigners
Everything look picturesque; standstill
It's so surreal

Like living organisms, the city populace mix changes
Adding one factor, labor, while holding the other factors constant has caused dismemberment of an identity built over the years
The social fibre & identity have been diluted
Everything is... & feels artificial
Will the death of some ideas change the equation? Probably
The only constant is change

Death the leveller
Death is never a choice
Stay healthy, happy and make hay while the sun shines
Do whatever your heart leads you
There is no right or wrong, on consequences
If you can & is willing to bear the consequences, go ahead to conquer the world
Life is never stagnant




 


 

Dreams & Reality : Make It Happen

dreams are make of snow, spice and everything nice...

Dare you dream, work on it & you shall crystalize them
Every efforts count; drips upon drips fill an ocean
From a seed, came seedling
With TLCares, the result can be influenced
The fruit of success never comes by accident but the ideal goal arrives via incidental planning guidance...

金木水火土 The five elements are jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire), tu (earth) - This is the clash
Metal cuts Wood
Wood cuts Earth
Earth cuts Water
Water cuts Fire 
Fire cuts Metal
火土金水木 This is the flow (harmony) - Generating interaction



Whatever you choose to do or not to do, you reap what you sow 因果
Let us not worry too much about tomorrow as tomorrow's never promise
The wealth you have cannot buy health
Stay healthy; with health you can achieve many more things & explore new frontiers
There is no need to quarrel nor be vindictive as revenge brews destruction and conspiracy
Be ready to "let go & leave the scene"; pain is temporary
放不下 就是还不够辛苦 还扛得起

What is wealth and happiness? Happiness is wealth
Wealth may not be happiness
He needs to earn a living, a livelihood
A responsible man must 'carry his own cross'
Nobody can share your burden and sufferings
However, everyone can/will share your 'goodies & wealth'

Be honest and live a dignified life
Whatever that's not yours shalt never be
Whatever that doesn't belongs to you, however you struggle or scheme, shalt be futile
The reward of honesty is a peace of mind
We must be able to live within our means and let the world falls into place naturally

I am no Saint nor am I goodie-type
I am just a simple person looking forward to the next day
I have no secret to living; just honest living

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But, APPLE? Apple started many freaky problems

Eve gave an apple & mankind sinned
The falling apple gave Sir Issac Newton the Nature's theory of gravity
Steve Jobs Apple create a 24-hours workday where the smart phone & computer wreck havoc to everyone's life

Do not believe in innocent looking things
They don't kill but cast permanent curses that no medicine can reverse

Noe even GOD

Lies, Half-truths & Misinformation

lie, lies and more lies...

Kermit was created to entertain Porky & the public
The rainbow connection was an empty promise & illusion
The beauty, the dreams, the promises ...the tomorrows
In the end, it is for yourself, by yourself
You arrived naked & shalt return likewise; cremated
Money buys comfort, fame & power but not peace

We can plan quarterly, yearly or 5-yearly
Anything beyond 10 years is hollow; it's like sailing with a destination in mind but minus the compass
Sharing a dream is great but few wake up to work on it ...it's just a "Hope"
Keep life simple, avoid distractions and keep disappointment at bay

Believe in yourself
If you buy into others dreams and goals, you help them achieve theirs, not yours
Never leave Fate in other's hands

Such beautiful entrance
Where do you think this alleyway leads to? Surprise, surprise
This leads to the toilet. Yes; toilets
All that glitters is not gold
Pretty women and awesome men do not equals good homo sapiens
Life can be deceptive

Anyone who promises you the sky, the sun and the moon but expect you to pay with your Soul are best avoided
Whoever tells you half the story are best kept at bay
六亲不认  胜者为王
Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works
Winning at all costs is the doing of a merciless character
The path to hell is paved with good intentions
人心本善 but greed and selfishness changed the results

“Give me the child for the first seven years and I'll give you the man.” ― Jesuit maxim

Our futures are not determined by Providence
They have potentials, luck or lack of it and opportunities. 
Collect, collate, analyse information and make informed decision
Without sufficient information, decisions may be made with gutfeel or experiences
Be ready to pay for the price for failures
Learn from books, learn from others, learn from experiences
There is no "one-best solution" to any challenges

Whatever fits

If you willingly buy into blind loyalty, you can't blame anyone when the 'gate of Hell' opens to you
The world is filled with half truths, misinformation and entrapments

Beware and be aware; sweet nothings, costs nothings
 

The Probability Of A Possibility

2/3 gone & 1/3 to go - 2018...

There is one third of 2018 left
Nothing much had been achieved to date
How? Like a long drawn movie, life goes on
This is a year of deflecting many good but undelivered promises and faltered goals
It is not totally a wasteful journey; you learned to skip, reroute and drop wilful dreams
Tomorrow is never promised

Correcting a wrong path is better than blindly following it in the hope it will turn out to be good

Blind loyalty & pliant obedience do not yield the desired outcomes
Knowing when to cut loss & move on
That is the Art of Survival & Self-actualization 
Believe in yourself

This looks like any 330ml milk bottles
It is indeed
The left bottle is for adults and the right is for the baby
A little alcohol helps ease the day's chores & to maintain sanity
Some says alcohol and ciggies are bad for health
Well, well; many abstain from both but still die from various illnesses
Guess, everything in moderation is good

There are moments when being alone is sanity

Nobody should 'enjoy' substance abuse
Avoid bad companies who indulge in substances abuse
Life is already fairly tough; so do not make it any worse
You can live a normal life or write a disastrous history


Life is around until the last breath
Keep cool and calm; nothing destroys you
The despondent sees everything flowing against him & his world is dark & pathless...
Threats and destruction lie ahead
The only light is ... Hope

Death is never the solution but a leveller

I live in a cycle of Hopes
Nothing is promised but, without trying, the end is the same - empty
If you try, you either gain results or experiences
Being off tangent is still along the same route but a different outcome
Scary? No, a new line of experiences

I once decided I will never, I will never be in the sales (lines) 
But, my first job was in sales  & I was a top 10 performer & I never looked back
I have my fair share of misses but mostly made it in due course
Time is the best friend and preparations built the best fundamental

With 3 months to close 2018
I shall continue to explore & exploit
It may look dampening and discouraging
But, the world loves a Winner & I shall


Place your bet now...

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
