一个人有心结，就起烦恼，不喜了，苦了。
也可能会堕了，变坏了。
一个人有心结，可以尝试修行。
请看『修行要修心』。
为什么修心后就会解心结呢？
因为你得到慈悲心后，你就会放下，得到定力，智慧，了解心结的来龙去脉，那时你就会自己解开心结。
比如，念经是修行活动之一，不是念经就会自然解心结，是因为有念经，就有修行，就有修心，就有慈悲心，就能放下，就有定力智慧。
自己医病不好吗？
心结一天不解，可能永远都拖累你 （我不敢肯定）。
修行不是迷信，不是逃避。
修行是慈悲。
我认为慈悲心，应该可以解很多的心结。
所以，你在佛堂，看见我在跪跪拜拜，不要笑我，因为我在修行。
那，我是不是有心结还没解呢 ？哈，你去猜猜看。。你的答案不一定准,我也不会告诉你。

修行要修心
如何修心 ？
佛教有一种东西叫慈悲心。
什么是慈悲心？
我的理解是；对众生有慈悲感。
慈悲心不是同情心。
了解别人的痛苦，控制自己的欲望，横顺众生，为别人带来欢喜，自己吞掉不愉快的能量。
我们要了解，有苦才有喜，有喜就有苦。
很难解释。。。
当我做一件自己不愿意的事，但是如果可以为一些人解苦，得喜。我苦了，我也喜了。。。
因为我愿意，因为慈悲比其他重要。因为我的苦，不比他人之苦。
还是很难解释。。。
再来一次。
如果狗有感情，你见到狗在流泪，你会不会去安慰它 ？会， 因为你有慈悲心。因为你理解，这是有情世界，因为你有情。因为你不忍心看它伤心。
你不但会安慰那只狗，你还会跟它做朋友。
修行要修心，修行要修心，修行要修心。

Maybank ATM Incident #1
Got this from an email.
Personally, I have witnessed this at Maybank Uptown P.J.
There was a couple (man and woman) who looks very middle eastern. I was queuing up for the ATM. It was crowded at around 8pm. They were doing almost the same thing as what was described below.
After a failed attempt, they walked away.
They usually do their operations after office hours and I find that Maybank do not employ security guard after office hours.
#
This afternoon around 5:30 pm I was at Queensbay Mall Penang, doing some financial payments (credit card, mobile and etc). I went to the 1st floor Maybank ATM to withdraw some money.
As the ATM was finalizing my payment, someone tapped me on the shoulder. Naturally I turned around, and there was this stocky Middle Eastern man (around 5 ft. 2 in., fair complexion), pointing to some money on the floor (around RM30+, there were 3-10 ringgit and several 1 ringgit notes).
He said “ I saw you drop your money just now.”
Coincidently today I have some bundled spare notes in my shirt pocket. So I picked up the ringgits on the floor. Suddenly a lady also of Middle Eastern descent – shoulder length curly hair, fair complexion, 5 ft. 3 in., said to me “It’s my money!”
Then the man told her, “No, I saw him dropping it – while pointing to me.”
Instantly I checked my shirt pocket, with a quick glance I felt and saw my bundle of spare notes was intact. Without any hesitation, I passed the money to the lady and said, “It’s your money, not mine.”
Within split second, I turned back to the ATM and saw a male person's hand (did not see the face) was approaching for my ATM card that the machine automatically return upon finishing a transaction. Out of natural instinct, I slapped on the wrist of the person’s hand that was trying to take my ATM card. And the person quickly walked off, I did not have a chance to look at the face as I was waiting for the ATM to dispense out my RM1,500.
All this happened within 2-3 seconds. When I finally got my cash and turned around, the Middle Eastern man and woman have disappeared including the taller male person who was trying to take my ATM card and most possibly my cash. I quickly went down the escalator to see where they have gone, I managed to catch a glimpse of the Middle Eastern lady as she was going down the escalator but then she also quickly vanished.
If I had been slightly doubtful of my own cash in my shirt pocket OR being greedy, I would most likely had my RM1,500 stolen. The job of the Middle Eastern man and lady was to create a diversion and confusion, while another person was responsible to snatch the cash out of the machine while I was not looking.
This could happen in any mall and there were some people withdrawing from few other machines as well. So it was not a totally secluded condition. I firmly believed they were not the only group in Penang or Malaysia.
Points to be on high alert:
1. If somebody taps your shoulder while you are withdrawing from the ATM, make sure you are mindful of your surroundings and especially focus on taking your money first.
2. Their usual trick is to create confusion. Focus on what you are doing.
3. Best is to have a friend with you when you go to the ATM.
Please let everyone you know of this incident. Especially now when nearing the festive seasons, they are preying on your bonus and salary!

Husband and Wife Joint Bank Account
Got this from email.
I just thought that this is helpful.
Just to share with you one recent article i read and shocked me a lot. It happens in west Malaysia , husband and wife and 1 son. Husband pass away due to accident, husband has a RM50k joint saving account with wife, what happen is the wife / like most
people think,when husband pass away, she will get the money automatically since it is joint account. But to her surprise, She could not withdraw even a single cent!! Joint saving account is meant for convenience when spouse need it the most, but most people always assume once the other holder dies, another half will get the money automatically which is very wrong.
I would like to share my opinion with all of you, you may take it as educational thoughts or for you to be aware. When one person dies, the other joint holder of the saving account will get the money automatically only if that particular bank practise 'JOINT TENANCY' - this terms means one party die, the other joint party gets money automatically.
But unfortunately, not all banks practise JOINT TENANCY, some foreign banks practise and most local banks don't practise, If you want to be sure, just ask your bank is their joint saving account based on JOINT TENANCY, if it is yes, get the black and white.
Can u all imagine, when husband pass away, the wife already suffer emotional loss, now suffering the problem of having 'NO MONEY' although it is in join account. Because of husband ignorance, now the wife and son pay for it.
So, the question right now is which bank in Malaysia offers JOINT TENANCY joint account ?

A Personal Story of Hearth Attack
Ok, got this from email.
Supposedly coming from someone called 'Zul' from Penang, Malaysia.
I think this is helpful and inspiring.
Here the story starts.
Hi,
I thought of sharing my recent experience with all of you with the hope that you could gain something from it. Note the symptoms and warning signs that i will be relating. Suspecting that your are getting heart attack and making your way as fast as possible to the hospital, I think, is the key to surviving it.
So here is my story…
It was late Saturday night and I was watching a documentary on Nat. Geo. Everyone had gone to bed hours earlier. My wife had been preparing to leave for her one week trip to Institute Aminuddin Baki at Genting Highland the next morning.
It started with pain around the shoulder region spreading to the arms. My neck felt very uncomfortable. It’s something I always get whenever I sit in a weird position for an extended time (in this case I am sitting where the TV is on my right side so I have to turn my head when watching) or I also gets it after hours in front of the computer. So I though, it’s because of the way I was sitting that causes it but I had only sat there for about 10 minutes. Earlier, I was sitting comfortable with the TV straight. So I decided I should just go to bed. After all its already about 1:30 in the morning.
Normally, lying flat on the bed helps as I have done so many times after sitting for hours in front of a computer.
Just as I was going up the stairs, I started to feel a little dizzy and my stomach feels weird and warm. When I got in the bedroom, the a/c was on and it was quite cool. I lie down on the bed. Minutes later I started to sweat- cold sweat. The sweating was so bad that it started dripping from my head and the back of my ears. My stomach feels like I have eaten too much (I did not really ate a lot that night…it just felt that way). It feels as if it I am having a bad case of indigestion and heartburn. Minutes later I started to feel like I am going to puke. It’s the same feeling when you get a severe headache, sweat and feels like you are going to vomit (but this time no headache).
I got up, went downstairs and grab myself minyak cap limau. I always keep this handy for stomach discomfort or “angin”. The sweating is getting worst and as I sat on the sofa, sweat started to drip on to the floor. There was so much of it that my shirt is all wet so I took it off and put my shirt on the floor where the sweat was dripping.
I drank a glass of warm water and decided to go back to the bedroom. The dizziness is still there. My arms felt numb all the way to my fingers. I thought if I could get some sleep then all of these would go away. So I lie down on the bed. I was so sleepy that in between awake and sleep I could tune to my heart beat. It sounded weird, irregular. At this point my breathing was very heavy. The warm in my stomach feels like its moving up to the chest area.
I keep thinking and trying to figure out what was going on. Is it just “angin” or indigestion or is it due to food poisoning.
I got up, went to the toilet and tried to make myself puke but couldn’t. So I came back into the bedroom and sits at the edge of the bed.. My face was already very pale, I feel very tired and the sweating was still very bad, dripping on the floor . Still sitting on the edge of the bed and feeling very tired and sleepy, I remember asking my sister in law a year earlier about the symptoms she had when she had a heart attack and it seems all the symptoms are there. I still could not believe that I am having a heart attack.
About half an hour had passed and I am still about 50-50 whether to wake up and inform my wife. Then I thought…if this is really a heart attack, then I could die tonight. I thought of my lovely wife and my kids and finally decided to wake my wife up and inform her what is going on.. She was surprised to see my shirt was all wet and my face very pale and sweat dripping. I told her that the symptom I am having is very much like the one her sister had told me and that we should go to hospital.
It only took us about 15 minutes to make it to the hospital. When we arrived at the emergency ward, I could barely walk. I was so tired and was having difficulty breathing. I was immediately asked to lie down and an ECG was performed. An oxygen tube was placed in my nostril and I can see nurses and hospital assistants running towards me. At this point the pain had spread to the jaw and teeth.
The nurses started to poke my wrist and the back of my hands with needles. A drip was connected to my right arm while at the same time a machine that controls a small bottle of medicine was injected on my left hand. I was asked to place a small tablet of medicine under my tongue.
Half an hour later the sweating stops and it feels a little better. In the meantime, my wife who was still waiting outside was still not informed of what had happened to me. It was 2 hours later that she started to inquire what is happening and she was told that I had suffered a major heart attack.
After completing two bottles of drips, I was then pushed into the ICU. ECG/EKG was performed every half an hour for the rest of the night as well as throughout the next day. When the doctor came in the morning, I was informed that I had suffered a major heart attack.
On the scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means alive and 10 means dead, the doctor asked me where I think I stood. I thought for awhile and said 6.5. He said no and said that it was actually about a 9.5. I was so shocked. The doctor then started to give me a cardio 101 lesson and explained that they had injected me with the strongest clot busting drug in the world when I arrived. Clot buster thins the blood and helped to ensure blood continue to flow but does not really solve the blockage problem.
I suppose the clot buster is almost similar to the chemical we use in our kitchen sink when it gets clogged.
After 4 days in ICU I was confirmed stable and plans were being made to move me for further observation in the general ward. An appointment was made with the heart specialist in Penang GH but I had to queue for about a month before I could even see the doctor and performing an angiogram/angioplasty would then take another couple of months.
I decided I do not want to wait and asked the doctor whether I could be transferred to a private hospital. The doctor was very helpful and recommended a specialist for me at the KPJ hospital in Bandar Perda. He called up the doctor (Dr Safari) and make arrangements to send me there.
When I arrived at about 7pm, Doctor Safari greeted me. He said I was very lucky and that the fast action of going to the hospital saved me. He then scheduled for an angiogram and also an angioplasty immediately the next morning. An angiogram is to see how bad the clot was and where it is. It is also to determine the condition of the other coronary arteries (there are 3 main ones). A balloon angioplasty is to clear the blockage in the artery thus allowing blood to flow again.
The procedure took several hours with only little pain and discomfort. Although the procedure is safer than an open heart surgery, it is still dangerous and could be life threatening. A flexible catheter is injected into the groin artery and then guided all the way up to the heart. Then a dye was injected and on the x-ray screen you could determine where the blockage was. I still have an 80% blockage (the clot buster I guess managed to clear about 20% which helped to allow blood to flow back into my heart. It did not resolve the problem in whole). Was told that when a blood flow to the heart is blocked, any portion of the heart that did not get enough blood and oxygen would then die off, permanently. This then causes the heart to be weak and disrupt its efficiency. Mine was considered a major because the clog happens in the main artery which could damage a huge portion of the heart below it.
Once the blockage is determined, a small balloon is inflated to push the clogs against the artery walls and a drug coated stent (a sort of wire mesh tube) is placed to ensure the arteries do not collapse again. When the balloon is deflated and removed, the stent stays and overtime would become part of the coronary artery. The stent is treated with some types of drugs to prevent a recurrence of abnormal narrowing due to further clotting of the blood since it is made of metal and it attracts blood platelet to stick to it. I was not able to walk or even move my right leg the first 6 hours after the procedure. I spent another day in the hospital and was released the next day with a month long MC.
So what were the symptoms again?
Some people (men) have the classic symptoms of severe pain in the chest (feels like someone is squeezing your heart) but I only felt a little pain when I was already in hospital. The above 4 symptoms however, should be generally true to heart attacks in both men and women.
If you suspect you are getting a heart attack. Go quickly to the hospital. Every second counts.

- Pressure, fullness or pain in the center of the chest
- Sudden weakness, dizziness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath
Some people (men) have the classic symptoms of severe pain in the chest (feels like someone is squeezing your heart) but I only felt a little pain when I was already in hospital. The above 4 symptoms however, should be generally true to heart attacks in both men and women.
If you suspect you are getting a heart attack. Go quickly to the hospital. Every second counts.

如果你可以用一切，来换一样东西
我曾经说过，一个人出家，为什么会出家？是因为他或她，了解到一个道理，就是。。
“一个人可能可以做一万样东西，但是，总有一天，他或她还是会跑回原点。”
这个理论也许是对，也许是错。但是如果你觉得是对，那你还会不会去做那一万样东西 ？
但是我又领悟一个理念。。
如果你可以用一切，来换一样东西，你愿不愿意？
当你有这种感觉时， 我觉得你应该去做吧。

2012 (The Movie)
I have seen the movie, just like anyone else.
It is predictable.
The two things I agree with the movie.

当你很烦时。。。 (Whenever you are stressed Up..)
是一个放下的机会。。
放下。。。 如何放下？
什么都不要，只要一样东西。
Whenever you are stressed up, it presents an opportunity to let-go.
How to let-go ?
Desire for nothing but one thing. Choose just one thing.

每个生命
每个生命，都必须有个结局，不然它就不叫生命啦，因为生命一定要有该做的事,也因为该做的事，都可以做得完的。生命，也许就是生活使命。
您这一生最重要的梦，必须去实现，不要等。
您必须要有勇气，因为为了这一个最重要的梦，您可能会失去很多很多。
您这一生最重要的梦，不会出卖你的，它是您最好的朋有。

CJ7 Is About Life
CJ7 is a good movie, well I have just seen it.
Someone uploaded on YouTube as well.
I like the show, it tells about..
Life cannot be perfect,
There are many out there who sacrifice for others at own expense and are never to be noticed,
A perfect life has no meaning,
A meaningful life cannot be duplicated and is unique,
You decide what is meaningful.

Bankruptcy Amount is RM 10K Per Credit Card
If you debts is above RM 10K per credit card, the bank will not bother to call you, because they can sue you for bankruptcy. As soon as less than RM 10 K, they will start calling you to pay the installment.
This is different for physical assets such as car and property where regardless of how much you owing, they will call you because they can always repossess.
This makes sense when recently a bank offer me a bank loan (6.99%) which the person in-charged specifically highlighted that it is not link to your credit card account.
My guess is that different financial packages tie to different bankruptcy policies.
What do you think ?

Government Is Creative
Sometimes the Malaysian's government is quite creative.
One example is the announcement that most of the vehicles in Malaysia is more suitable for using RON92 petrol.
Of course, if you consider motorcycle to be vehicle, that counts.
Otherwise, this is a bit like tipu kanak kanak...
Let me tell you why... I am a driver of the most popular car in Malaysia, the Proton Saga Iswara 1.3 special edition and guess what is the recommended petrol by Proton itself ?????
RON 97.
Damn it .... if my car can support RON 95 I would be so happy, because it is so damn cheap right ? I know my mechanic almost want to 'rape' because because I tried that once for certain period... and he felt like 'raping' me.
So, how can most cars in Malaysia are suitable for RON 95 ler ?
Somemore RON 92 is only sold by Petronas in certain petrol station only...

Lower Interest Rate for Malaysia Credit Card Usage
Credit card interest rate now is been lowered, the lowest being 13.5%
However, most of the other alternatives financial funding is still lower than this offering such as credit transfers, personal loan using credit card as collateral.
Alliance bank offers 6.99% of personal loan.
This suggests it doesn't affect the banks anyway, since they can survive on even lower interest rates.
This is simply a way to encourage more credit card usage.
