"오빤 강남 스타일 " ( Gangnam Style )

With all the hype about Gangnam, i actually wasted 5 minutes of my whole lifetime googling it.
Wikipedia has the shortest and precise read.

This reminded me of a joke! :)
Once upon a time, a group of Ah Bengs stepped into a lounge and wanted the DJ to play the song "Ah Cheng Buey Ro Ti" (In Hokkien means Ah Cheng buys bread). 
The DJ told them that they only have English songs and told them to select another song. 

The Ah Bengs were very angry and kicked up a bigfuss, claiming the DJ was insulting them. 
The manager had to intervene in order to calm them down.

Finally, after long talk with Ah Bengs, manager found out that Ah Bengs actually asking for the song "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. 

:D

A happy place. It's really a state of mind at the moment. You can be in the midst of calamity in a bedlam street corner and be in a bubble of serenity. ( I'll have to be hypnotized to do so... But some great minds reforms and never conforms! I salute! )

Certain moments in life are worth revisiting. I stroll back to June so frequently I see stars in bright daylight or even on the office ceilings. My friend and I sat on the 1st floor of Poor Boy's gourmet restaurant at Bar Harbor for dinner. It was a random choice. A spontaneous, spur of the moment, blinded choice we made. Needless to say, we chose well. :)
I propped my head out of our large wooden windows, starring at the passerby's. What was remarkably beautiful was the string of light-bulbs draped across the compound. The guests dining right below the string of lights, soothing mellow jazz tunes saturated the atmosphere, the light evening breeze blew from the Atlantic ocean...
We sat there mostly in silence as i was a little bushed. Such a peaceful, perfect evening.

PS: The scene is depicted in the picture above, taken right there and then as a constant reminder -Life is made of moments like these :)

Quote of the day

"Modern education is premised strongly on materialistic values. It is vital that when we are educating our children's brains that we do not neglect to educate their hearts, a key element of which has to be the nurturing of our compassionate nature.". ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

" You'll never know if you don't go " :)

Sat on my favorite new chair, reading the articles my travel buddy sent me. Last night we had an insightful philosophical discussion. He firmly believes that the meaning of life is death. ( Shall leave this paragraph as it is :)

This article, was casually written with all honesty. With all honesty the writer wrote many of our internal turmoils casually. We allow fears to fence us in from our potentials.

If you could and you would, what would you have done differently with your time now?

I know i would be in Kenya teaching songs and crafts to the kids. Open heartily, I would be ready to be taught by the denizens about their humble way of life.
I would be swimming in different sea cultures and languages. I would stand amazed of the colors of the days of their lives. I would absorb and inhale the experiences like a sponge.

Question of the day

Do you work for a purpose or for a paycheck?

I just want to say..

Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart..

Guess what??

I just got a slap in my face and I realized that wow this just keeps getting better and better. Vodka, anyone?

Where to start??

Have you ever felt like you have so much shit to do and you are so overwhelmed and you don't know where to start?

Fuck me

I pray you’ll be our eyes and watch us where we go, and help us to be wise in times when we don’t know.  Let’s this be our prayer when we lose our way.  Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace to a place where we’ll be safe.  I pray we’ll find your light and hold it in our hearts.  When stars go out each night, remind us where you are..Let this be our prayer when shadows fill our day.  Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, give us faith so we’ll be safe.

A world where pain and sorrow will be ended and every heart that’s broken will be mended.  And we will remember we are all your children, reaching out to touch you, reaching to the stars.  We ask that lie be kind, and watch us from above.  We hope each soul will find another soul to love.  Let this be your prayer, just like every child needs to find a place.  Guide us with your grace, give us faith so we’ll be safe.

Need to find a place.

Guide us with your grace, give us faith so we’ll be safe

- Terima Kasih -

But you got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together!

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Yes, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always
Alway, always...

On Happy Notes

Did you know that happiness and sadness are actually infectious diseases? I guess it makes sense, say when your partner, your friends or co-workers are all happy and jolly, you somehow feel as if your mood’s been lighten. On the other hand, when people around you are feeling low, if you care enough, you start to get rubbed off on it too (of course this won’t work on self-centered people who think that they are the only creature living in this world)

I have been feeling a lil low lately (read: it is almost that time of the month).  I was browsing the internet and came across to this.

You guys out there, don’t start rolling your eyes and say “Oh here we go again!”. It’s a good read!  Don’t you want to learn how to end your day on a happy note?  Well, according to the article, there are three good ways to get there:

1) With Yourself:  Re-Run the Happy Days.  Negative thoughts are naturally clingy.  Even the most optimistic person in this world gets those devilish thoughts every once in a while, but it depends on WHAT the person decides to do in one’s mind that help pushing away/sucking in those tainted thoughts.  I once saw a program on tv (which I am not going to say which program it was.. haha!), a mom lost her teenage daughter 15 years ago.  Ever since the day of her daughter’s death, she’d kept the daughter’s room the way it was.  She would stare at her daughter’s belonging and re-run the memory of the moment how she passed away.  She had been in grief for 15 years.  It was until when she showed up for this TV program, she was told that her daughter had lived so many beautiful happy years up till her death, but all she focused on was the moment when her daughter died. Instantly you could see that her facial expression softened, it was almost like her mind just took a deep breathe and went ahhhhh…  Then she said “I never thought of it that way… I never thought it that way…”

Sorry, long story.  But what I am trying to say is that, we need to remember the happy moments in life, even when things get rough, try to tell yourself, yes I know I am sad right now but wait, didn’t I do this this this and that that that and it was awesome?? 

2) With your friends: Enforcing the –ings – chilling, hanging, relaxing.  That’s right!  I don’t think I need to say more.  Other than, I suggest doing a few more of those –ing stuff.  Drinking maybe?  Masturbating perhaps?  How about hanging out with friends to have a relaxing time chilling, chatting, drinking and then go home masturbating.  Let me know if you need a shake weight to practice for now.  Target has them on clearance. 

3) With your partner: Be intimate, even when you are not in the mood. For guys, I don’t think this is a problem.  Tips for the females, you may want to try enforcing the –ings first, like relaxing, drinking, drinking and more drinking.  Then you don’t know what you are thinking anymore and the next thing you know, Hey now!  I am having sex! 

Or some people might call it “raping”.  Another –ing to enforce.   Ha!!  Sorry I was kidding about the enforcing part. 

 

Alright, I need to stop here.  I swear I meant to write a serious post but my mind can only stay clean for so long!

Hope this post put a lil smile on your face.  Cheer up because life is short, don’t forget to live :)

Oh and don’t forget to share with us which of the three strategies did you use today!  We love to hear from you!

Chillin' Again
