The Ten Commandments of Drinking
1. Laugh, talk and drink with your friends in a happy atmosphere. Never drink to relieve stress.
2. Never forcibly drink, and never forcibly offer.
3. Do not drink in a hurry but take your time and savor each sip.
4.Only drink on one occasion per night, drink after an interval of an hour while sipping on non alcoholic beverages.
5. Avoid drinking without side dishes.
6. It is better to consume around 1 to two drinks per occasion, in relation to the alcoholic beverage's standardized glass. This also applies to beer, soju, wine and whiskey.
7. Head home before major transportations stop operating in the night.
8. Do not drink daily. Leave one to two days of the week as "No Alcohol" days.

Kudos to Chin Kong...! Hurray..!

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow .......... which nobody can deny...which nobody can deny....which nobody can deny. - Chin Kong's the man..!

The hero comes to save the day with 2 selection of "Yes" in the blogger settings console. It has changed my life completely as now I have a "Title" option, which did not appear in default mode. Thanks taiko..!

From the example above: We humans tend to neglect the finer and small things in life. All of us working adults living in the so called 3G community, wireless community and integrated society of informative beings know little about the basics of living a true fulfilled life. Little have we forgotten that these little things are the core building blocks of all priceless cherishable events which sticks into our memory. Twas just a simple tweak that Chin Kong did to save my life, but it will last forever in my blog. In life, there are many of these small small events and blockages that makes us ponder and do a health check on ourselves. Measurement needs calibration, and we humans oso need to sit back with a blank mind and heart to ponder and think about our direction.

A handful of us out there has lost these small little building blocks or I may put it as we dont bother to see the finer details seriously. We take things to the lowest cost in production and ownership, yet we always dont feel happy even driving a SLK400. Is it because we were too busy looking out for the "big wave"? We start to loose our senses and grip as we begin to silently drift away from reality. So what will ever make our lives more complete? Lets do a basic check on our internal consciense and let's see how we fair in the exam of our lives..!!

The Myth of Adam and Eve

It was foretold in the olden books of Jerusalem that God created human and named our early parents Adam and Eve. Some jokers even went to the extend to point out to the exact date the creation of earth was 4004BC when early human civilization bones was found in Mesopotamia with carbon dating back to 5000BC?


There were so many facts and myths that surround the first humans on earth. Are they really that important? Let us ponder at the fact that every human knows where they come from; does that make a remarkable difference if we don’t know? We still behave our own selfish ways and our arrogant mindset never changes. It is like somehow in build inside our every human soul that we must protect our own interests before we unselfishly donate or give out tokens of appreciation to our friends?

In my analogy, I don’t think Adam and Eve are real humans like us. Adam, I would see as an analogy to physical humans (men and women) and Eve on the other hand would be our inner soul, which is life itself. Adam cannot live without Eve, as humans cannot live without a soul or a life and a life vice versa.

It is a perfect combination of both human and being to blend in together to form a greater relationship to interact with other humans. From these basic components of identification, we do not need to argue or bother who Adam or Eve is anymore because it does not really matter.

It will always be a myth of Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden with a big fat serpent living on fruits. Why didn’t the serpent eat the forbidden apple and save mankind from all the hassle and bustle of condemnation? Who else would want to eat this fruit of Eden? See all the unanswered questions that lead to more uncertainties. So why bother?

A Light Heart


We humans have a very light heart that breaks once too often. We tend to feel intimidated, stupid, useless and low esteem when somebody passes a comment at our humble beings. Why are we letting this happen to us? We should be analytic and responsible in all our friends’ comments or judgments. Why can’t we see it as constructive advice and whack that person once more at a new angle? Now let’s turn to the other side of the coin. Let us be the ones making that judgment and see how well we “describe” other people and actions? That’s makes us instant and natural story tellers right?

Our heart weakens after every failure and every disappointment or rejection. We tend to react in 2 manners. #1, either we back off totally or never to revisit that failure site or #2, we fight back and reevaluate our weakness and grow from there onwards. Not many of us are strong enough to endure too much pain and disappoints after disappointments. Some of us may not even have a second chance to look back and ponder at our mistakes.

Gone were the days where old folks used to say “Thou shall do unto others as thou would have them do unto thee”. In today’s world, we fight and struggle to make ourselves stand out from the rest. We make known ourselves to higher management, to our bosses, to our shareholders and also to our partners. What happens if we fail our attempt to secure a “position” in our company? What happens if our bosses have a second agenda in mind? We risk ourselves “parking” under the wrong camp. When that happens, all of our departmental budget, planning, core exercises, and most of all, all our hard effort will be flushed down the drain.

So what makes us true leaders and managers? Good heart? Pure mindset? I think society has been moving in warp speed environment with efficient cost cutting technology. Even Linux can’t beat this technology. Trust me!!!

Our Basic Mind



It is very true that the birth of all thoughts in our minds, whether it's good or evil, comes from our little heart. As last week's homily by Father OC Lim, he stresses that whatever we are thinking everyday gives birth from our hearts. Our minds will play the role of Project Manager to execute these little thoughts and plans of ours.

Non the less, we humans suffer in a paranoid world where all substance and context are sometimes true or false. It may even happen to be a cause and effect or sometimes a reversal or back fire against our own self. We see it happening in the news, blogs everywhere; people from all sorts of life find it difficult to keep up with our current pace in society. A hundred meter sprinter may run as fast as an ostrich, but he will eventually loose out to a slow paced long marathon Nigerian runner.

Our hearts are the main core in our lives. Our hearts set out the direction that we feel most comfortable living with. Our heart also tells us who loves us most in our lives. Our hearts also never fails to tell us, who will always be there in times of difficulty. When our hearts start to turn evil, this is the starting point where promises are left unfulfilled, and lies will build on layer by layer. This is a never ending process, until we figure out, that it's time to stop all our nonsense.
