A bid to keep to my 2010 new year's resolutions...

Its the holidays! What have i been doing? Or where have i disappeared to?

Here's the juice..Since its the holidays, i have resorted to taking a break. From what? From the burdens of sins i guess..sins that weigh heavy on my heart. Trying to atone for whatever i have reflected on through my meditation and stint as a vegan. ["I am a vegan??"]

Yes..our dear Mahatma Gandhi advcated to people to refrain from meat as our body is not made out to be a carnivore. He drew a comparison between Man, a herbivore [our closest relative, the monkey] and a carnivore. The basis of comparison were physical in nature such as the way these groups of creatures perspire, digest, the length of the intestines as compared to the body length and the teeth. From this, our dear friend concluded that Man was created closest to the herbivores and thus, going vegetarian is going 'au du naturel'.

What i am going to retort is that, humans unlike carnivores cannot devour meat because our digestive juices are not strong enough right? Which is why we are supposed to cook it..RIGHT? But red meat is not all that good. The prophet said that "if you find yourself to be hot-tempered, reduce the amount of meat in your diet". [Check the viability of the source first..read with discretion]

"So the key point i am driving to here is staying away from extremism. Being passionate is totally separate from extremist. Extremism = stubborn and stupid" Why do i say so? [Cause for one, i am sleepy] Being stubborn, one does not listen to others advice or comments and hence, one remains is his/her state of mind..unmoved. Being stupid, you cannot rationalize and think well. So whatever u believe, without reasoning and rationalizing, you take it for real. Combined, these two forms extremism. Passion, however is supported by a load of believe.

Well, but for now, im just hanging loose and enjoying whatever time i have in this holidays! After all the studying and nights at school, preparing for early morning papers. Sleeping on benches and watching champions league soccer on laptop. Eating sweets to keep me busy and green tea to make me believe that i am awake. [But it turned out that i made myself believe i was a samurai instead!]

As on the pic on the left, while kecik was hard at revising, i was taking photos, running here and there, taking short seconds of naps...and eventually munching famous amoses..and yes...battling mozzies and lighting up mosquito coils. There was champions league matches too..arsenal and villareal and barca and milan...

So now, i am jus meditating away in my private getaway resort of kampong west coast. With my trusty nenek.. we do gardening, wash clothes, cook....n of course, TV!

Dia is gonna end!!! At last...i always retort to my nenek that if i was Ivan, the show would end at the first few episodes!! So no show...everyone is so weak in that show except the villians..[who are the more prettier ones too and more cleverer people..what is the world turning to?!]

On the right is my nenek, she clears the leaves, i chop the tree...this picture, we were chopping down a part of the guava tree that was intruding onto the roof area. The leaves would fall onto the gutter, choking it and my father will have to clear it..so best..CHOP CHOP CHOP! The tree bears fruits only like once or twice a year so no point. That day too...i discovered the yellow-vented bulbul chick who nested in the garden had passed away. The stench was overwhelming. There were huge maggots on it already and i buried it in the garden. The poor chick must have died in the heavy torrential downpour..bad time to have chicks la..


Occasionally Alfian pops by..that boy is growing fast. Now can talk abit...Aaaaabit only la..still calls me bhaiyya though. He can dance and understand people.

Sometimes, he talks to us..talking as though we understand him. We bedek bedek try to la! Hope he can come more often. I have this feeling he might be a bit distanced from the rest of us cos he is seldom here. I dun understand why he cant be brought over to my nek's place when at home..its just him n his mom?! Bring him over la...leh main main...can play play...

Anyway...have to go visit soon...Kamie going Germany. 3 postcards...1 each week...as PROMISED!


So now...here's a clip of Alfian's dancing and craziness.....njoy..

Soory...the blog post abit boring. Just to satisfy those who requested for an update!
