2014 holiday season is looming and the mood is already here...
People are taking 'mandatory' annual leaves all over the place.
I went to Amway (Jalan 223)to collect items, but was met with too big a crowd and too slow the processing - seems like the workers have gone on mandatory holiday.
Anyway, what I saw over there was 1Malaysia - national unity - nobody actually complains.
Happy festive season to you all!!!

Buddhism on the human origins and the creator
In the Buddhist sutra (增一阿含經 (CN) ; Ekottaragama-sutra (EN) ), it is mentioned indeed human origins was heavenly beings.

Also it is mentioned about the creator.
http://www.fomen123.com/fo/fojiao/yuzhou/9612.html
In nutshell (based on the text as spoken by Lord Buddha), the universe was subjected to big-bang creation after which the old world (previous universe) was subjected to destruction, nonetheless, the destruction left out certain realms and one of such is known as the 光音 heaven which was where human origins came from.
After the destruction of the previous world, the big-bang happened and earth was created along with the sun, moon and other planets known and unknown to modern science.
Heavenly beings from 光音 heaven whose heavenly life had almost come to an end, were lured by the virginity of planet earth and decided to come forth to venture out of the heaven.
Once they settled, they found themselves trapped and unable to go back and hence lived on.
According to the text, all human ancestors came straight from 光音 heaven were light skinned color and today's human complexion was a result of different lifestyles, mindsets, influence from the weather and other factors.
When our heavenly human ancestors came to earth, they were greeted by a god (大梵天王) who told them that "I have no creator, I am hence natural,the creator of the universe and parents to all beings".
Please don't take my word for it, go read the text and do your own research.

Responsibility is a BIG word
According to a report by USA Today, Park Geun-hye proposed to disband the coast guard after their seemingly failure to respond to the ferry disaster that left more than 300 people dead or missing.
"The final responsibility for not properly dealing with this incident is placed on me," Park Geun-hye said.

Did Guan Eng Actually Said that ?
Did Guan Eng actually said that 'BN is a coward' or just instigation from the media ?

Eyes Wide Shut: MalayMailOnline: MCA told to shut up
Eyes wide shut...
Not being appreciated and respected, was humiliated instead.
This is a good case study - at the end of the day, even own partners will look down on you, despise you.
Eyes wide shut - it is so obvious but yet you couldn't see.

Don't you feel heavy holding this bucket ?
Someone told me this story yesterday.
A man approached his teacher and started complaining non-stop, he kept on and on, the teacher listened and didn’t attempt to interrupt him. At one point, the teacher gave him a bucket full of water. Without much hesitation, the man took the bucket, holding it and kept on complaining.
Not long after that, the man was exhausted and slowed down, the teacher intervened and asked “don’t you feel heavy holding this bucket full of water ?” The man replied “Yes, very heavy.” The teacher said “ then why don’t you put it down ?”
From then on, the man put down all his sufferings and continued with life.

Li Ka-Shing Teaches you how to survive
http://mirror.e27.co/li-ka-shing-teaches-buy-car-house-5-years/
1.) No matter how much you earn, always remember to divide it into five parts proportionately - living expenses, socializing, education, holiday and investment. Suppose your monthly income is only RMB 2,000, you can live well. I can help you put money into five sets of funds. The first $600, second $400, third $300, fourth $200, fifth $500.
2.) Being able to smile when being slightly misunderstood is good upbringing. When you’re wronged and you smile with calmness, it is generosity. When you’re being taken advantage of and you can smile, you’re being open-minded. When you are helpless and you can do a philosophical smile, you’re in a calm state. When you’re in distress and you can laugh out loud, you’re being generous. When you’re looked down and you can calmly smile, you’re being confident. When you’re being jilted in relationships and you can smile it off, you’re being suave.
