We encounter many events or encounters in our live. How are we going to face them? What attitude is the most appropriate in handling them? Being neutral or extreme? For me, it's very difficult to be neutral. In almost every circumstances, i tend to be very extreme. I cannot see things subjectively. That's why i will be either very sad or very happy. I never have the feeling of being 'no feeling.'
This might be good if i m happy. But if i m sad, the sadness doubles...
This is my story, my diary. At times, things are better to be told through writings, rather than speech. This blog illustrates my daily encounters and reflections. Hope they inspire all of you and channel my thoughts and emotions.

How People Perceive Me? Is it important?
Very often, we will get comments from people around us. The comments san be either positive or negative. We will feel like in senventh heaven if we get the positive ones. How about the negative ones? Can we take it constructively?
In fact, the comments are given after their close observation. Therefore, the comments are somehow true. It's just that we are not conscious about it. Let's take an example. If somebody said you are growing bigger. Of course the person concerned will not say that out of nothing. Therefore, it might be true that you are growing bigger. Let me remind you that, of course, you will get angry upon receiving negative comments. But, just sit back and reflect on the comment. If you find it's nonsensical, just ignore it. If you were aware that there is truth lying behind the comment, take action to make people stop making such comment on you!

Mr R's joy...
Mr R makes a decision to go back to meet his beloved brother and his brother's family. Oh my God! Mr R is so delighted and happy. The feeling of joy is indescribable. He meets his brother who he has not met for 5 years plus. Then, he meets his sister-in-law too. The happiest and unforgettable event is that he meets his newborn nephew.. His nephew is so cute. Though his nephew seemed strange to Mr R at the first meet, his nephew seemed to be very close to him after just a few seconds. I think this is what we call "blood relationship."
Besides meeting his brother and the family, Mr R is happy to see his family, too. Upon arriving, he can smell delicious dishes cooked by his mother. The compulsory menu, chiken soup, makes his stomach growling.. Then, he is very warmly welcomed by everyone in the house. Mr R knows that he has made a right choice. A big thank to Mr R's friends..;-)

Giving up or Blessing?
Human beings are very good at adapting to something. After you adviced your friend several times with convincing facts and points, that means you have done your part as friend. You cannot do anything beyond that because that is beyond your ability already. If he did not take your advice into consideration or make any change, we, as friend, just need to adapt to his stubborness. It does not mean that you accept or agree with what he is doing, but, since you cannot do anything about it, so the only thing you can do is just adapt to it.
If he is really dying to do something that is against the social norm and even religious view, what you can do is giving up of him (because he does not want to listen to your advice) or if you want, is to 'bless' him in a way.
I am very tired of advicing him already. So, i can assure you that there will be no blog which is grumbling about him anymore in the future.

April Fool is for honest people...
You might be wondering why am i making this statement. April Fool is for honest people. Well.. The dishonest people are lying everyday, lying over every matter. So, April Fool is nothing for them. Everyday is April Fool for them to fool the others. Just like some of my acquantances and even friends, they talk different from what they really mean. Shit!
Unlike the dishonest people, April Fool is really a special day for the honest ones. They can make full use of the opportunity to fool hte others. But, don't worry.. The honest people will just make fool of the others on April Fool.. ;-)
