Incovar 35th - It's coming to you

Image
INCOVAR (stands for INter COllege VARsities) Dhamma Camp - a 4-days camp for the college and universities students all over Malaysia to gather around to learn Buddha's Dhamma through experience and talks from recognized speakers. Through IDC 30 - Kuantan I learned what is Dhamma, 5 precepts, 5 Enobling Virtues & of the important of Honesty, Love & Mindful-ness IDC 31 - Subang Jaya I learned how to finally let go of the past hatred (& burden) that I kept in myself for too long. Incovar Excite I learned that Frustration & Anger will bring me nowhere Incovar 33 - Petaling Jaya I learned that there is no such that "you have to do" ... It's always the matter of "you choose to"... It's because you choose to be afraid of taking extra measurements, that's why you made it "you have to".. Incovar 34 - Subang Jaya I learned (a little bit) of what they say as Mudita - Experiencing Joy in the Joy of others. I'm not sure what I am goi...

2 Buses , 1 Car & a LRT station

Image
Due to some reason, a friend of mine parked his car Asia Jaya LRT station, took the LRT to find us in KL and bcoz reaching back late, I send him to Asia Jaya LRT station to get his car... When we reached, we are surprised to see THIS!! He unrealizingly parked his car at the bus-parking slots, that the bus drivers decided ignore his car, parked their vehicles like usual daily routine and gone home. So, we've got a situation HERE! the car is TRAPPED! in between 2 buses The bus driver actually did gave my friend a thought, leaving him a gap between the buses, in which the gap are big enough for the car to go through. With the gap may be enough for his car to go through, but the space given has insufficient angle for to make the turn. We tried, but to no avail. At that moment, how I wish that his car is this wira instead. Hassle-free, tangle-free and bus-free! xD At the end of the day, we asked around until the RapidKL office, requested for his driver to drive out, let him pass, and we...

Finishing unfinished food

Image
I'm sure many of us had gone through this before; that whenever we can't finish our food, our parents or somebody else will just give a lecture of the starvation of those kids in someplace of poverty that they would struggle for food. The small loaf of bread that you just chucked away, if it were to thrown/tossed at Somalia, the kids would have to compete amongst themselves and fight for it. Then comes the teaching of how grateful we should be and this will goes on until you stuff your food into your mouth. Well, I had been finishing my food since and even at times I can't finish it, I'll stuff em down my throat.. Then 1 day I was thinking, after being so frigging overloaded with some buffet dinner...... Yes, it's true that we should be grateful that we have food to feed our mouth on the table.. but how does me stuffing the unfinished food into my stomach can actually help the kids? I mean, I with all my force, stuff those food into my throat, they starving. I leave...

緣分游戏 - The Game of "Yuan Fen"

Image
緣分游戏 is of any game where you play to test how high is the "Yuan Fen"(緣分) between two parties (or sometimes more than 2, but rarely the case). The usage of the playing cards as mini games, analysis/cross-matching the names, the birthday calculation are the few 緣分游戏 that I knew/heard of. It's not supposed to be taken seriously but the result of the game(s) will somehow affects on how one look at another person. The two-person 緣分游戏 goes like this: Boy & Girl is initially of the same place. Boy & Girl set the boundaries of the "game arena" and agreed by both. Boy & Girl went seperate way. The rule is, to not set a meeting point and not using phone/sms/etc to contact each other so that no location is revealed. *He may sms her to check on her safety* AND , if they managed to meet/bump into each other, means they are indeed got 緣分. Example 1: Boy & Girl meets up in a large shopping mall, entrance. He went left, she gone right. Can choose to walk, can c...

House (at P.D) Broken Into

Image
On 15th September, the rented house for staff at my project got broken into while everyone was out. He got into the house, apparently a solo action, searched for valuable in each rooms and grab whatever he could and sped off. This thief came through back door; gained access by breaking the grill lock. The biggest damage would be my colleague whom lost a semi-dslr camera, some petty cash about RM100+, while the other colleague lost some loose cash. He too broke into the house exactly behind to our unit. The funniest thing is, apart from cash & some gadget, that thief also took together with him BRANDS CHICKEN ESSENCE! Yes, BRANDS chicken essence!! Hahahaha As for me, I am very fortunate that the thief took nothing from my room. Here's how it looks like in my room: (pictures were all the post crime scene, unaltered) What I got are a mattress, an air-mattress, 2 chairs (from IKEA) which I flipped it upside-down and use as pail, and a fan. It's kinda empty and messy too. *my ap...

Facepalm moment of my faulty Iphone 4 and Screen Protector

Image
Was at Pavillion this afternoon.... The previous screen protector that I tried to attach it on my own, failed big time. Epic fail coz there were bubbles everywhere. Almost like the screen got infected by serious skin disease. So, I went into Epicenter to check out some accessories. Then I proceed to buy the screen protector: RM49 and ask the fella to attach it for me. Upon him finishing the job, I ask that fella, where is the nearest Digi Warranty Center ar? My microphone rosak already And he gave me a "you just pwned" face and ask me "IF it is spoiled, why you still wanna fix the new screen protector?" And I'm still dunno what happen and asked "what's wrong... under warranty 1... when they fix it, they gonna spoil it, izzit?" that's when the other customer replied. "nolah, when it rosaks, they don't fix it... they'll just change a new one for you!" That's the moment I facepalmed myself. Yeah. Im such a noob.

New project in Port Dickson

Image
For those who still does not know, I got transferred to a new project in Port Dickson. SpringHill to be exact; an area in between Seremban and P.D When it's done, it is going to be a new township of UCSI; and my company is building the Hospital (as one of the 5 phases) The others are International School, Hotel&Resort whilst the other two are yet to be decided by the UCSI development planning. My project site is somewhere deep inside the estate. It is not within the area of TM coverage that can't even get a land-phone line (no fax, no phone line) hence no streamyx. Imagine that it is required to travel about 2km of pebble-rocks & muddy roads to reach my project site. The bestest ISP is Celcom broadband and it is relatively very slow compared to those I got here in Seri Kembangan. For the 1st two weeks of my arrival, my iphone unable to detect any Digi 3G in range! (at least now it has 'E' signals) It's a culture shock for me as I'm sorta hooked to intern...

Dating Friend's Ex

From what I wrote in the previous post about: 1) dating friend's ex 2) dating ex's close friend In that scenario, I gave the situation the peoples are hanging in the same pool of gang; where the people already knew each other right from the beginning. What if, this dude knows of this girl later on; after they broke up? Like for example: Me knows this dude, I call him 'D' through some other mutual friends of what I call a Circle 'Z' D dated a girl, let's call her 'C' some time before and broke up, before I met them both. Then, some time later on, I get to know this C, also from the Circle-Z. So, what if I went date this C.... Will D mind?? I know it's not my fault if D cannot accept it..... but my question is, will there be a "invisible wall" whenever I'm meeting D? p/s : just for fun thoughts, somehow crossing this random mind.. lol

The Waiting Game

U know, whenever we are fetching girls, especially if it is 1-to-1 session, she tends to be late. roughly about 20mins (not all, there are some that respects punctuality) For that short period of turbulence, I always thought she would be at her unit, preparing her last minute touch-up/make ups; in their bestest effort to make them looks better when going out. Until somewhere few months back, I saw with my own eyes: A girl -who is fully aware that a male friend of hers is waiting inside the car at the guard house downstairs- purposely drags her time and let him wait for a solid 30 minutes! Both of them were already at guardhouse initially. She told him she would wanna go up to grab some stuff and will be right back shortly. When she got up, she took her own sweet time, slowly take a few stuff, in which already completed in less than 5 minutes. Then, she sat down at the sofa, listen to some music and casual chat with us. Until about 30minutes, she bids farewell to us to go meet h...

The truth behind romantic song - Sometimes When We touch lyrics

Image
Picked from "Sometimes when we touch - Dan Hill lyrics" ------quote-------------- You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you ----- end of quote--------- I would say the lyrics is damn OHSEM! The girl ask whether he loves her or not... But he choked.. DID HE REPLY? NOOOPE! And he starts to "see the real her" .... potraying he has doubts and she starts showing of what seems not very agreeable to him... Somehow it makes him to feel that he should tell her straight in the face! than to tell white lies to her --------- chorus-------------- And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides ----- end of chorus-------- SEE? Still never say HE LOVES HER!!!! Just wanna HO...

What's in a Birthday

Image
I remembered well my first birthday cake. At the age of 9. I brought a pack of Sugus to the school, and they made me a tower of sugus in the shape of a cake, sang me a birthday song. I blow the imaginary lights & cuts the "cake" with a ruler and every1 start grabbing the chewy sweets... Aahhh.. How simple can happiness be with you were younger... =) I used to measure the meaning of my birthday by what is in the day itself. Of how many people actually remembered it.. Or what I got for the year... As I grew older, birthday became something that reminds me that I came to the that time of the year again. And I celebrates it in the wish/hope that things will turn better for me, that my dreams will come true. Those who remembered, would be a bonus and that their wish will boost up whatever I had in mind for the next upcoming days. For the past two years, this mindset had changed again. Birthday is now where I take a deep look-back into what's in the past and ponder upon wha...

34th Incovar Dhamma Camp (IDC)

Image
So it happens again, Incovar Dhamma Camp for the 34th time, last 23rd - 26th June. Time flies.... Indeed. Coming back to this camp is like literally back to "Square One" of my Incovar's (basic) dhamma learning cycle; Four Noble Truth Five Precepts (my first camp) - 30th IDC Karma Mental Cultivation Mind flashing back to the days where I first get to know Incovar, I still clearly remembers how MAGIC Incovar is. The feeling being left out and isolated on the day 1 turned into not wanting to depart with the new found friends especially the Crusaders (my group name) at the end of camp. I gone through fun, joys, laughters, most importantly learning the dhamma through experience and get inspired from within. After that, I came as helper (more to kitchen) at the 31st IDC, participant (for the last time) at Incovar X-Cite, unable to make it for 32nd IDC due to work commitment, & last minute butt-in at the 33rd IDC. This time round, I am back again, but with no role. Except f...
