Sometimes ppl dun need new information, ppl jus need to be reminded.

Time no enough

These 2 days, having whole day tutorials, from 9-9.30. It's 9am-9.30pm!

But the learning process is really fun.

I have got to learn many more things, such as medical, Singapore CPF schemes, and hospital structure etc... Wow...

I feel that i'm more happier when i fully stay at the 'present' moment.. I enjoy the moment more. I laugh more. It's really easier said than done. It's hard to keep my mind to not to worry. As no matter what, there jus many things happen, many need my attention.. =)

So wat i learn is that being present and enjoy the moment, will make me happier.. Mayb for the moment. I'm not saying that planning is not good. Jus that spend more time on the present might be better... :) 

Having 2 dreams in 1 nite

Waking up early becos of dreaming. Having 2 dreams last nite. 

One is Tsunami and one is someone threaten to kill my frens and family.

I was in a school, definitely not in SIM as the school was so big and spacious. At there, many classmates were chatting around. Then suddenly we felt there is a sound and the ground was shaking.. At the moment, only i felt that it's tsunami coming, and ask every1 to hold on to something, but not many ppl hearing me. So in the end only Lif and i hold on the steel pool. But the water was so much that it covers the whole area and we were in the waters and there's no way out for us... suddenly the dream jump to another scene, or mayb i forgot the rest of the story.

Next i come into a house where there's this strong guy who can tear ppl like tear paper. He holds my frens and my family as hostage. Threaten to kill them if i dun agree to do something for him.. I forgot wat should i do to save them..... and then wake up! Haaah... no ending... ~~

2 Days till the final paper of the final exam

Recently was playing hard and studying hard.. But i found the subject guide is becoming heavier everytime i hold it.. :(

2 more days and it will be end.. :)

The tricky is after exam, my schedule is packed with tutorial, training, and exam(Oh NO, again!) for my coming job. But i actually want some holiday b4 really start working... sighs...

Now i'm confused whether i'm ready for the job, as i will be an Estate Planner for Rockwills. Sometimes i'm thinking if i should jus do fixed salary job.. hm... !@#$%^&^%$#@)(*&^

And recently my eyesight seems to giving me trouble, i cant see ppl face in some distance, which i could see clearly in the past.. Sometimes i cant read clearly words in books and computer. :(

Funny dream

Wow, this morning the breeze is so cool :)

So nice to be in bed.. "P

Haha, again, wanna write down what i have dreamed while i still remember, partly.

The whole dream happen as if i'm another person, in the media world, as a reporter or artist or something.

Am i so desperate to get a gf that in my dream, i got a gf, at initial stage, and it was staged by my frens so i can get her. But, interestingly, she seems to be an Tw artist, but i dunno her name. And after the courting, then a group of us come out from a pub, then we saw a drunk guy lying on the floor, and a crowd of reporters was 'clicking' their cameras... And this one i know, the guy name is "Guo Jing An'', the one that starred as "A Wang" lol

The dream was quite long, but i remember most only those parts...

I was thinking, is it mayb that when we sleep, we as an individual actually living as another person in another dimension of world that consciously we dun know. And that dimension of world is exactly the same as our world. 

Or that we, all livings, are actually come from one source that under certain condition we can feel, see, taste what the other living is experiencing... wow, just imagine the whole universe that actually come from a source of force/power/energy. Then spread out to become everything that we see now. We see the form of the things which is actually just empty.... Hmm,... 

Anyway, today 3rd June, still 9 days to go.. ><"

Some of my frens going back today, hope they enjoy their holiday :)

Fate and human action

For the one that put hope in me and for the one that i put my hope in..

For some reason, sometimes something just doesn't work out....

I believe that fate has brought us together to let us know each other. We become fren, become close. U share with me about u, and i share mine. We talk as if we have lots to talk. The one put hope in me, U hope we can become more than just fren, but i'm ready to accept. The one i put my hope in, i hope we can be more than just fren, but u nt wanted it. 

Maybe it's just the fate hasn't reach the stage, or the human action is not enough, or something else.. I believe maybe the time just haven come...

For the one that put hope in me, i hope u can give up; for the one that i put my hope in, u hope i can give up. Is this just a funny cycle by fate///

I told myself that life still going on, it's all rite. 看破放下随缘, i may did. But there is still have impact on my life... i know that...

Suddenly wanted to write these down.. to make me feel better. 

I and Me

I learned something about "I and Me" theory in Sociology. Basically, mean the I is different from Me. 

In here, the application of the theory might somehow a bit different from the original.

Few days ago, when have a chat with Francis, he mentioned about this "I and Me". 

well, just to described how the society has shaped us to become wat we are rite now.

And i told him that i have alienated from my true self.

While people around me would see Me as a people person who can talk easily with people. But  I see myself, i'm an introvert person who cant communicate well with other people.

In my true self, i might not that like of being centre of attention, and interact with people, but because of the need of the environment that has shaped me into how i'm now.

Hmm, there are many more example to show. It's just showing that how the individual can alienated from the true self because of the forces of society/environment. The expectation of the environment can cause the behavior of the individual become a different person from him/herself.

YES MAN

Watched "YES Man" by Jim Carrey, i even watched 3 times in 2 days during studying for horror subjects of MA and FR. 

After watched the movie, really inspired by the moral behind the story, the way i interpreted. 

I would missed something call 'life' if i keep living my live worrying bout this and that, afraid of failing so that i never try. Not confidence that i can conquer myself so i wont try. Not confidence i can learn more thing therefore stop trying. Dun believe i have music sense therefore never touch music... I wonder how other ppl felt after watched this movie.

After watched the movie, i become inspired to live my life to fullest. Not that i would accept every opportunity by saying YES to everything that come. But i would be more open to challenges. 

I should learn many things so that my life would be so colorful and enjoyable...

Even thought, i dun how long will this feeling last, but at this moment i would like to write down wat i want to learn. There are many.. List:

• Guitar
• Korean
• Japanese
• Cantonese
• Piano
• Dance
• Photo-edit
• Sing
• etc
  

I want to go:

• Taiwan (Taipei)
• Bali
• Japan (Tokyo, Hokkaido, Kyoto)
• Korea (dun knw yet)
  
• Shang Hai
• Hong Kong
• Australia

I want:

• Bookshelf
• Digital camera
• Driving license
• Bring my parents to Taiwan
• New laptop
• New handphone
• Traveling

Wow, i have listed lots of materialistic 'wants'...

Haha... i want to achieve all of these...

Yesterday, Jarren told me an old guy still learning despite being 60 years old, and he is enjoying his life! Jarren and I want to live life! :P

看破放下自在随缘清净

最近很烦，应为某些是不顺利。。 但人生总会有烦恼，所以也无所谓啦。。开心就好。。。

我的某位好友，最近为他的感情的事在烦。。。所以有时就出来聊聊。。 他并不是那种每天都很诚心拜佛的人吧。。。 但却梦见遇到一位法师/和尚指点。。。空悲歉 。。。觉得有点不可思议吧。。。

看破放下自在随缘清净，并不容易真的做到。。。 ：） 有点觉得在论佛

 
察看之后，原来是：看破、放下、自在、随缘、念佛，真诚、清净、平等、正觉、慈悲;

1.看破：看破世间虚妄相，明了世事不久常， 缘聚缘散无所得，轮回受命苦难当。 2.放下：放下名闻与利养，舍弃我执欲妄想， 万般皆空不可得，因果随身并不爽。 3.自在：自在如仙在世上，无欲无求道心强， 时时知足无忧恼，法喜充满智增长。 4.随缘：随缘修持去旧殃，莫把是非挂心上， 善恶恩怨一场梦，高低美丑无异样。 5.念佛：念佛摄心伏妄想，降伏烦恼心明亮， 一句弥陀念到底，自达圣地寿无量。 6.真诚：真诚念佛莫彷徨，一心一意回家乡， 不忘家亲众情苦，知恩报恩救迷茫。 7.清净：清净无为生实相，净念得生极乐邦， 千江有水千江月，心离尘垢自芳香。 8.平等：平等用心无杂想，苦海无崖起波浪， 众生与佛本同体，转迷为悟永真常。 9.正觉：正觉性海法无量，真心无碍通十方， 虚空法界无边界，划界自困慧易亡。 10.慈悲：慈悲喜舍伏迷浪，法界处处放祥光， 弥陀愿海归舟渡，回头有岸是家乡。
