Life Purpose

0 comments
I asked a wise man, does everyone have a life purpose?
He said to me, yes everyone has a life purpose but for most the life purpose could be very "mundane" because their spiritual awareness can only reach rather basic levels hence their life purpose could be simply following social norms and expectations.

Recently I confirmed my life purpose.  It did not come as a big surprise, or a great awakening, as it stemmed from an idea I had developed a number of years ago - only that for years I did not give it enough thought in what form I could execute it.

Without going into great details, what I am planning to do is to show the world how happiness can be extremely easily attainable, as seen through the eyes of different people from very diverse backgrounds.  I will share more when the right time comes.

The background of this idea is that for years I noticed I had a natural talent of touching the hearts of friends/lovers (especially the lost/sad/confused ones) by showing how happy and content I could be with the most simple things in life.  I have surprised and inspired a number of them whose worlds were rather grey before they met me - yet all this came very effortless to me as I was just living my normal life and feeling happy over simple things around me.  A few months ago I also created a photo album on facebook showcasing all the things which made me smile, which, to my surprise, generated a lot of interests and comments even from acquaintances who normally wouldn't comment on my updates on facebook.  This, and a conversation with my friend Dawn, led me to start giving the idea a more serious thought.

So today I am glad to announce that I will be pursuing my life purpose, personal legend, or whatever you call this.  It will take some effort to create an action plan, doing some basic research how to make it happen, but I have some interesting ideas and I think this has potential to become a great long-term project for me.

I hope you will all find your own life purpose as well.

Friends, Lovers or Nothing - John Mayer

0 comments
Just came across this song.  Am getting high on it:



Friends Lovers Or Nothing lyrics

Now that we are over as the loving kind,
We'll be dreaming ways to keep the good alive.
Only when we want is not a compromise,
I'd be pouring tears into your drying eyes.

Friends, lovers or nothing,
There can only be one.
Friends, lovers or nothing,
There'll never be an in-between, so give it up.

You whisper, "come on over"'cause you're two drinks in,
But in the morning I will say goodbye again.
Think we'll never fall into the jealous game?
The streets flood with blood of those who felt the same.

Friends, lovers or nothing,
There can only be one.
Friends, lovers or nothing,
There'll never be an in-between, so give it up.

Friends, lovers or nothing,
There can only ever really be one.
Friends, lovers or nothing,
There'll never be an in-between, so give it up.

Anything other than yes is no,
Anything other than stay is go,
Anything less than 'I love you' is lying.

Not Fair - Lily Allen

This song just cracks me up each time I listen to it.  I promise I will never *accidentally* send this to any male friend again!

It's a very rude song.  Pay attention to the lyrics.


Not Fair - Lily Allen

Oh, he treats me with respect,
He says he loves me all the time,
He calls me 15 times a day,
He likes to make sure that im fine,
You know I've never met a man,
Whose made me feel quite so secure,
He's not like all them other boys,
They're all so dumb and immature.

There's just one thing,
That's getting in the way,
When we go up to bed your just no good,
its such a shame!
I look into your eyes,
I want to get to know you,
And then you make this noise,
and its apparently its all over

Its not fair,
And i think your really mean,
I think your really mean,
I think your really mean.

Oh your supposed to care,
But you never make me scream,
You never make me scream,

Oh it's not fair,
And it's really not ok,
It's really not ok,
It's really not ok,

Oh your supposed to care,
But all you do is take,
Yeah, all you do is take.

I lay here in this wet patch
in the middle of the bed,
im feeling pretty damn hard done by
i spent ages giving head.

Then i remember all the nice things
that you've ever said to me,
maybe im just over reacting
maybe your the one for me.

There's just one thing,
That's getting in the way,
When we go up to bed your just no good,
its such a shame!
I look into your eyes,
I want to get to know you,
And then you make this noise,
and its apparently its all over

Its not fair,
And i think your really mean,
I think your really mean,
I think your really mean.

Oh your supposed to care,
But you never make me scream,
You never make me scream,

Oh it's not fair,
And it's really not ok,
It's really not ok,
It's really not ok,

Oh your supposed to care,
But all you do is take,
Yeah, all you do is take.

Companionship

0 comments
Today I had a fun dragonboat practice (not too strenuous), took a hot shower and chilled in Stanley with my very fun teammates, went home and felt like I wanted more exercise so I went for a lovely walk with a friend/ teammate around the race course and to CWB, then back to Valley.  I had some leftover food, so we went to buy some more food to cook pasta.

It's been years since I really cooked with someone who knew how to cook, and the dinner was prepared surprisingly quickly.

We were having dinner with the TV on and this travel show somehow was talking about dragonboating in Singapore so we finished the show.

Now I'm closing the night alone, probably going to finish my book (re-reading Alchemist for the second time).  Before I get to my book, I want to post this note, reminding myself how nice it is to have good company.

I loved the day.
