不空过

不空过。


Moments when after I have finish my volunteering or having class in FGS, and on the way home, something motivational keep going through my mind . . . . . . .


See youngsters in the train, in fashions, seems like going to have great fun again meeting up with friends. Always brings me back to my younger days where time seems to be always on my side.


Here I am, thinking back. I had great fun and is constant great fun now too. Happiness in helping to accomplish meanings behind the events. Joy in meeting like-minded people, always full of vitality and smiles even when they are physically and most likely mentally stranded.


Never do I think of what to gain but I believe I can befriend even more like-minded! Being an assistant Dharma teacher for example gave me a chance to create happiness and good thoughts for the kids to bring back to their lives! And through the process I learnt great lesson from the kidz and fellow teachers. Thats one thing I know its a happiness that last not jus an evening!


Even helping in carrying tables and chairs develops my patient, endurance, physical toning :) , and definitely trains my mind to see meanings behind circumstances.


Now then how does forcing alcohols down the throat and keeping up with "very conditoned" friendship will last? But the "effects" I think can be very lasting indeed . . .

Eye sore on twisted culture values

Sighing yet puzzled by thoughts of thy individual and to the diminishing cultural values......ideas and values that guides the very vulnerablity of self respect.

Getting on and off the train as usual with packs of people yesterday night. A young couple caught the corners of my eye. The guy (looking very boyish, definitely not even 15) carassing his "girlfriend's" buttock in front of all commuters. And very obviously the girl doesn't care.

Read the papers and there was another that wear bikinis on LRT at SengKang. Now what has the world gone into. What about the traditional values of our females.

Many would say its alright, this is the new world, result from westernization. But I do not see westerners doing so. If there is, I only see them near the beaches. Even the European are refraining from kissing on the streets nowadays.

Westernization, is it a good policy to undertake, I guess not. Its diluting some of our important oriental values that identify us as asians. It is the very same values i feel makes us on par with the westerners.

Then how about self respect?? There is nothing wrong but indeed alot to say with girls that does not treasure themselves and do not mind being the mens tool for "letting go". How about the little boy?? To me, its the disresepect to her partner, not sparing a thought for her and to the rest of the world suffering with the inability to control our eyes at that moment.

Then how about gals in their 20s, 30s and 40s?? ok with intimate maneuvers? I suppose its all the same. Just that they are mature to know and choose to do so . . . . . .
