There may be moments in life which are hard for you. Heavy responsibility and multiple pressures from the outside make it difficult to cope. The high tension puts us in panic mode and we become frustrated as we scramble in a haphazard attempt to do our job. Prolonged stress response seriously damages your health. [...]
One of the major complaints I’ve heard about being alive is the pain of loneliness. In this day and age, many people live isolated lives of quiet desperation.
They go to work in the morning, come back in the evening, heat up a microwave dinner, switch on the TV, stone for two hours, drink some [...]
Many people are able to get into relationships, and many are able to attract partners who are suitable for them, physically and mentally. But for good number of these people, their relationships do not last much more than 3 months! This is a shocking truth of the dating world. Why does this happen? Why can’t [...]
(In the Garden of Eden)
Eve: Adam, do you love me?
Adam: Who else?
Every day you go out, you see hundreds of attractive people. If you’re single, doesn’t it make you wonder how are you ever going to find the one that’s meant for you? As a hot-blooded male in my younger days, I used to think, [...]
Finally we come to the magical topic of love… one which I’ve been avoiding for a long time because I thought it’s really complicated. But really, it is very simple. After banging my head on the wall for so many years, I’ve finally gained some insight to see past the surface complications – puppy love, teenage crushes, love triangles, adulterous affairs, chemistry, compatibility, trust, idealized love, ‘the One’, third parties, break-ups, make-ups, threesomes, lust instead of love, and a whole plethora of factors which complicate what should be a simple area of life.
Do you move through life feeling everyday is the same? Like some repeated pattern that goes on and on? For some people, there’s nothing new to do under the sun, and nowhere to go. Everything is just boring, boring, boring. They work so hard to earn enough money to play, but yet their playtime passes [...]
Every individual is born with innate talent. Gifts from the heavens each can grow and develop into a livelihood. Sadly, a person’s talent can get buried at a young age, failing to bloom and blossom at its full potential.
I have a friend who loved drawing when young. His parents saw him drawing, and took away [...]
I like to walk slowly. And it’s okay to walk at a relaxed pace. As long as you know where you’re going, sooner or later, you’re going to get there. Just like The Tortise and the Hare. The Tortise got to the finish-line first, even though he was moving slowly. The Hare had the speed, [...]
Do you notice if you smile at someone, most likely they will smile back at you? If you pat someone on the back to as if to say ‘hey buddy’, you will get many pats on your back too? This is a reciprocal world. You get what you give out. And as they say… Love [...]
Today I attended the wake of my best friend’s father. His dad had passed away from terminal lung cancer.
As I paid my respects, his father’s image seemed to smile at me. Photos have that effect. You see what you want to see. Or could it be benign spirits gazing upon thee?
With the Buddhist chant in [...]
One of the most important principles I have learnt in my lifetime is that ‘Life Mirrors Your Beliefs’.
We are all the product of what is within us. If, for example, you develop the belief that others are out to cheat, then you will find a lot of people who fill that role perfectly, and [...]

Tonight, the moon is full and her glow illuminates the ground below. Not an ordinary moon, but hung low with a tinge of yellow.
There was a lightning storm this afternoon. One of the fiercest I had seen yet. Torrential rain with streaks of white electrified the air.
I was afraid to [...]
