Went to Prima Selayang and hanged out with the kids. So here each group was required to do a short sketch on how to approach outsiders to come support E06 Carnival, while dealing with the rejections and excuses.

Here’s one of the scenarios:

[After some conversations…]

Kid A: “So would you like to come and join us at E06 carnival?”
Kid B: “No I don’t think so…”
Kid A: (Exclaimed) “Why not? It’s going to be fun! Come la…”
Kid B: “Because it’s too hot…”

[Kid A and the rest of the audiences went silent for 2.49 seconds, then laughter abruptly burst out… Kid B didn’t even realize what is going on…]

side note: that remark was not in the script

[Amidst the laughter, beside me was a beautiful lady]

Lady : (smiling) “That is got to be the worst excuse I ever heard!”
Me : (smile back) “But that is got to be one of the most valid excuse as well…”
Lady : “Ha ha, true!”

Ironically funny isn’t it? Ok maybe it’s not that funny when written here. Yet it was the childlike, innocent and genuine remark during that time sets off the whole joyous atmosphere.

Don’t play play with the kids’ intelligence. Often times, it’s the simplest thing that makes a dynamic impact in our life!

I just love the kids there… =>

My Path, My Life.

It took me 2 years 7 months to see clearly of the path in my life.

It's worth the time.

I feel great. I'm inspired. I'm determined.

The embarking of a new journey, the opening of a new chapter.

Hopefully one day, when I look back at my path, it will not be just my footprints, but yours as well. =>

Would you?

Tell me how not to love you for this...

Thanks and take care, my dear friend. =>

Symphony

Happned on 20/6/06, taken place at a rural place in Seremban.

Raining day…

Rain splashes at the windscreen with the sounds of car wipers echoes in my ear. I sat in my car, mindlessly, while turning my car key hundred of times. The ignition won’t start.

Soaked…

My car was stranded with heavy downpour of rain. I went down, and my topless body was drenched in rain. I checked my car battery. It was dead. Perfect... Damn.

Waiting…

It’s been half an hour… and no one calls to respond for my request. No thanks to the 24hours Honda Service center… Need to check my insurance policy and some paperwork before send someone over… Typical.

Music…

The atmosphere was like a symphony of music played by an orchestra band. “Sounds of Nature” as if was the title played. The tapping of the rain… the buzzing of the insects… the “swooshing” wind… the dangling trees and branches… the moving of the car wipers… It’s been a long time since I really listen.

Cold…

Still raining… Somehow my heart is colder than the aircond… When’s the last pit stop I had in my life?

Stillness…

Tired. Lying down with my eyes closed thinking random thoughts… Rain still won’t stop pouring… Nope still no one comes… Yet, somehow I wished they never come at all…

Smoothing…

Sun is setting… and the rain is sizzling… Quiet… I know I should call… but I didn’t. Stepped down from my car, let the rain drops touching my senses… Calming me... The combined of the greens and the yellow of the sun set… What a beautiful picture...

Buzz…

The sudden sound of my phone created such an annoyance. It was them. Too bad no snooze button to press on while continues with my dream… An unpleasant wake up call.

Dim…

They revived my car battery. My engine roars again. My wallet grew thinner. The rain stopped. They left, leaving me alone with my car... ready for my journey. Darkness falls again… expectedly.

Curtain closed…

The music from the radio echoed in my ears while I’m driving to the nearest motel… random thoughts… continue back on with my journey… while leaving the performance He played for me… smiling.


Thank you. =>

A Ten Million Dollar Life

I'm back.

After a long exile from the blogging world, I have decided to start again. This time, it is not only about me, but the world I'm living in.

Question: "How much does your life worth?"

Recently I came across an article. Very interesting. I recommend you read it before you proceed further.

Ok, I read at least three times to fully grasp the whole article, no thanks to all the numbers. (Sigh, economists...) You survived it? Ha ha...

Three phrases from the article caught my attention:
1) Life is dear, but life is dearer when you're rich.
2) As life gets more valuable, we strive harder to protect it.
3) Economists measure the value of a life by people's willingness to pay for safety.

Money. The magical word that wakes you from your slumber. The entity that seemingly plays an important part in almost every aspect of everyone's life. The tool which supposely helps you to fix even the worst possible scenarios. The new value for moral standards. The belief that it can buy almost everything, including life itself. What's your say?

Life is precious. To a certain extent, your life does appears to be more precious when you have the wealth that everyone else covets. From the three phrases that I drew out, there's an interesting pattern that links each one of them.

You are rich, hence your life is more precious than the rest -> you don't want to die earlier than everyone else of your valuable assests -> the more rich your are, you are more willing to pay at any price to ensure the safety of what you have and your life!

Irony. You are rich to pay for your insurance. -_-"

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you are not suppose to get rich. Wealth is a blessing! Please by all means get rich because you will be the one who will always buy me meals. Ha ha ha... Yet, if we are not careful, we might lose our initial focus and the big picture how we got rich at the first place.

So let's say you got everything you want in the world by paying for it. What's next?

We all are in the rat race in the current world we living. The race to get the cheese coated in gold. Sometimes, it can get quite tiring and meaningless at the end of your journey. A life's value would be justified better by finding your purpose in life. A purpose that is more than pursuing material wealth.

Creation itself, is a mysterious yet powerful thing. Look around us. The nature, the animals, the universe, us. Life, is complicated in its own uniqueness of structure in every life forms. What a beauty! Personally, I think life's true value would be best measured by how you live and appreciate things around us, and how you use your life to impact other lives around you.

Your life's value is not mere numbers. Live life to the fullest. Impact others, so we may all impact the world. One life, One world.
