do what we believe in affect us?
if i believed in God and someone cursed my religion, would he suffer the fate of a non believer?
if i believed in karma and someone were to do something bad to me...would he a non believer of karma suffer the fate of a non believer?
can it be that what i believe in determine the fate of another person's afterlife?....would not that be absurd???......so if i were not to follow a buddhist teachings and i am a muslim...whose fate should i end up with?
what i am saying is that sometimes when someone do something wrong towards u, u can only wish that the greater being that u believe in will do something about it. but if that person who is in the wrong does not believe what u do, but something else...is what u believe in powerful enough to change something?
ok forgive me as i think i am confusing u now...but what i am trying to say is that does who we believe in matter to someone else who believes in another and will he suffer the same consequences????

frustration frustration and frustration....what's the point of putting effort when it does not show results...deja vu...will it be like the last one? sometimes i feel like a failure in life...so it seems...or am i too proud to admit that i take time to learn....i need my retreat....
sometimes our actions come before our thinking.....
the aftermath feelings of feeling stink comes shortly after but hits real hard..
during then u regret every minute of it and wonder how on earth could u master such heartless actions and just stand there to watch the one suffering in pain....
no u can argue that u have been a victim of various such acts but then was it really between u and them or u and the greater good???.....
this is what i do...i do it when i wake up in the morning...i do it when i am with my family...i do it whether i am consciously knowing i did it or not...it is within me and it is me.....when i breathe or sleep it fills my mind.....it comes out naturally from me and it is in my nature...so why are u so skeptical!!!! and who are u to think somewhat else....u are so shallow and naive..

was walking home when someone with only one arm approached me to donate some money and buy something....
suddenly the thought came to my mind, would i be considered heartless if i were to walk past him without giving anything? but then again would my small amount of contribution make a great impact?
although u may say yeah a little is better than nothing...but come on let's face reality....with this small contribution how long is he gonna save????...i am not being mean but just being realistic....look at how much the rich ppl are giving away...but at the end there are still ppl who are wheelchair bounded..etc...
...the look on his face as other people walked past was just so depressing...i cannot even look at him in the face...
having an arm only is really very uncomfortable when it comes to doing things...my wrist/arm is currently on a cast right now and this is just 1/1000000 less handicapped then he is.....
and this is just a small picture the big picture is that there are probably more ppl out there with disablities...well sometimes i wish i can be in a world where everyone is perfect and everything goes yr way....

did a research on ian douglas wright and found out he's actually 44 years old and is a vegetarian but breaks that on his travel...despite his age he does seems kinda witty and energetic for his age...probably cause he travels alot...he is my fav personel on travel and discovery...
recently hawaii is frequently shown but i dunno whether it's just the timing that i am on....OAHU was featured and the thought of jumping of at the end of the world over a cliff and into the sea sounds fascinating......although the waves swaying u against the rocks sounds abit dangerous...there's a technic however though...hmmmmm...another destination on my 100 places to see before my time is up...
what is yr fear in life?

not able to say i love you to the person u care the most?

not able to live yr dreams?

pass by yr life without actually doing what you love most?

you cant have the things that u desire?

having no one to care for u?

dying alone?

it is scary enough to think all these...wake up wake up it's only a dream!!!!!!

sometimes life is really that simple and easy going...why do we have to take another turn and end up making alot of trouble for ourselves...do i lack good judgement or is my ego and pride taking over myself....

but can u blame me for avoiding the end of the road?

or rather am i too scared to face life?

is there such a thing as karma?

are we really in control of our lives?

ok i did not really have alot of time since i was back from my holiday to journal on my trip, this time round i went 3 places, italy first followed by switzerland and the best for last paris.

italy was really amazing, the structure and architecture of it all was simple Astounding!!!! every statue and paintings are so detailed. i went to pay a visit to the pope at saint peter's square in the vatican city as well as battle a Gladiator at the Colosseum.



At pisa, the famous leaning tower, the beautiful tour guide had the pleasure of telling us that every building in that place was actually leaning and not only that tower. after that we went down to florance. florance was very very pretty, cool air and the streets looked very different from singapore.



Venice was exactly the last four letters of the word itself...or even more. i managed to get on a gondola which is another name for water-taxi as the young italian man who claims to be 40 but only looks 25 row us throughout the city. i told myself next time when i were to get married, this would definitely be the place where i would want my wedding shots to be shot at. floods are common and the highest it ever went was above ankle's length if you were to be standing on the street. venice was the coldest and the standard of living is ridiculous, a bottle of coke can cost u 8euros, which is 16 sing dollars. oh boy!




italy overall was just breathtaking, the north and south italians look rather different. my coach driver was from napoli and he really looked, spoke and behaved like a mafia. he rarely smiles and often makes noise if we did not follow instructions.

after that we proceed on a 6plus hour journey to switzerland to see clear skies and ice mountains. Jungfrau was cancelled as there was a snow storm that morning but we managed to climb MT Titles which was just 500 metres shorter. Interlaken was the place where i stayed and there was this lovely old couple who owned a shop where i bought many stuff from. they happened to travel to singapore once during their younger days so we had a chat about the difference. the handmade clocks and toys were world class marksmanship. after that we had dinner at this really really fun and whacky place called bebbis. if u were to be at interlaken please visit the owner of the restaurant. he is well-built, hilarious and just makes you feel at home. interlaken- a great place to retire :D




after afew days in switzerland it was time to take a 10hour coach ride to PARIS. in paris, couples are kissing everywhere and the history of the place is just so vivid. in france, the art pieces that they keep happen to come from different parts of the world such as Greece, Italy and even Egypt. i went to the eiffel tower and that night it was blue in colour. i was also at the touch where the accident that princess diana had been in took place. the glass pyramid where the da vinci code was filmed and versailles and notre dame was really crowded but it was worth the wait as the art pieces was really top notch. i have never seen such beautiful work of the hand before in my life. the best of paris was still shopping at the champs Elysees, it's the most expensive and famous shopping street in the whole of europe. the LV there is a 3 level high building where u can most likely get the design that you want. if you are there you have to catch the moulin rouge. it is splendid and the costume and play is just so enjoyable. however it cost 125euros, which is the most expensive play i have ever watched....but worth every cent of it.





i could not bear to leave europe, it is such a lovely place. The cost of living is really high, a decent meal in a restaurant can cost you around 60euros, it is cheap but do not forget about the exchange rate, it is 2 times. the only cheap things you can get over there is LV among all the branded stuff. if you have the time, please visit there.
