Of Imagination

+ The power to imagine has been bestowed unto us humans by the divine conciousness to fuel us against our limits, to prove our worthiness to our great ancestors. There is no doubt that the technologies of our great ancestors greatly overpowers the ones we have today, however, all is lost along the way men started to stop believing in the impossible. Believing is the key to convert pure imagination into our dimension of reality so believe, believe in our thoughts, believe in our imagination as nothing is impossible. I have cultivated this motto by following up on great people such as Nikola Tesla and Edward Leedskalnin who had already mastered the secrets of lost technologies and i am committed to unearthing these secrets for a greater good. All i have to do is just to Imagine and churn it with believe to succeed in the making of history.

I find this very true

+You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now, will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is misled. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is educated, is really not educated but he is misled and the one who is misled cannot write a book which is correct.
The misleading began when our distant ancestors began to teach their descendants. You know they knew nothing but they passed their knowledge of nothing to the coming generations and it went so innocently that nobody noticed it. That is why we are not educated.
Now I will tell you what education is according to my reasoning. An educated person is one whose senses are refined. We are born as brutes, we remain and die as the same if we do not become polished. But all senses do not take polish. Some are to coarse to take it. The main base of education is one's "self-respect". Any one lacking self-respect cannot be educated. The main bases of self-respect is the willingness to learn, to do only the things that are good and right, to believe only in the things that can be proved, to possess appreciation and self control.
Now, if you lack willingness to learn, you will remain as a brute and if you do things that are not good and right, you will be a low person, and if you believe in things that cannot be proved, any feeble minded person can lead you, and if you lack appreciation, it takes away the incentive for good doing and if you lack self control you will never know the limit. So all those lacking these characteristics in their makeup are not educated.
Ed Leedskalnin, 1936.

Of Friends

+This is Iqbal, a Malay friend of mine i met here in Inti, also, he lives in the room just right above mine lol, and funny thing is he is a malay but he dont know how to speak Malay. He practically grew up overseas. This photo was taken during the 1st time i brought him to a photography class as models. Boy was he happy lol. We used to be in the same class, the science stream but i switched to the humanities since it was hard to catch up with. Every now and then i hear him and the others complain how they are struggling but they still manage to have crazy times together. The other day we went out for dinner, we couldnt decide where to go as he cant have pork as a malay and he would go to malay hell if he does, but then i told him, "dont worry, you'll go to chinese heaven if you ate pork" :)

Of Ups and Downs in Life

+ Looking at this picture taken in end of 2006, it reminds me of how life can be awesome and cruel at the same time, life is like a bumpy ride, however, at some point, there will be a straight flat road ahead but it wont stay for long, others will take their chances to ride on that comfy, un-bumby road and in the end, spoil it as well. Anyway, this might look like one of the ups of life but it sure is not, we lost this time but no hard feelings, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, more determined, more confident and one less mistake you can make. I can still remember how I won 1st place the 1st time i was in a competition, totally filled me with glee and fueled by interest to pursue my dreams in this direction. Key to a happy life is to persevere, and have faith. Also just like a game of Blackjack21 4 of us had earlier today, you win some, you lose some but i laid low, not betting so much except only when im confident and in the very end, I took almost all of their winnings :) Never give up hope, the pot of gold is just right at the end..

Thoughts

+Walking away always seem to be the easiest way out. Walking out that door, knowing that theres no going back, just feels outmostly the most idiotic thing to do, but what the hell, couldnt think straight, had to run away from the problems fast before going nuts. Should have just sit quietly and thought about it. Thought about what will happen and whats best for everyone, thought about not being selfish. Sad and alone now and theres nothing that can be done unless crawling back and be laughed at but whats the use of dignity now, clouded by thoughts, sitting here, thinking..
