Gaming

I believe that most of the girls don't like boys or their boyfriend to play on-line game such as Dota 2, LOL, HON, or other on-line games. They always stop their boyfriend from playing these type of game. This is because they think when a boy play on-line game, he is not a good man. Boys who play game will not have time to accompany their girlfriend to chat, hanging out . These are from the perspective of girls. How about boys?

We don't like people to stop us from gaming. Its a kind of activity and this is what we do when we have our free time. Why girls stop us from playing on-line games? Girls like shopping too, but why boys didn't stop them to shop? Gaming is the way we relieve our stress and shopping is the way girls relieve stress.

Now I'm going to talk about myself. I started to gaming since I enter foundation. A friend of mine taught me this. I think it is fun and it is a kind of activity for me to relieve stress. As long as we didn't addicted to it, its quite a good  activity for us to relieve stress. I did not get addicted to paying games. I only play when I'm free. 

According to professional researcher, they find out that gaming actually have many benefits. First, it can relive our stress. Secondly, it can help people to build up confident in themselves through game. Thirdly, gaming can train our mind to be fast. When we got in a situation, we can react faster. Apart from that, game can enhance people's social skill to communicate with others. Games teach players problem solving, motivation, and cognitive skills. Most games inspire players to strive and reach more difficult levels presenting challenges at each stage.

Everything have its pros and cons, gaming too. If you control yourself well and don't addict to it, it is a good way to improve yourself.

Let it go !

“If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.” ~Ajahn Chah

Recently, I have been through a lots of problems and awkward situation. I lost someone that I care a lot. From these, I have learn a lot. The most important one is we have to learn to let go of something that do not belong to us. But why is it so difficult to let go? Why is it so hard to give up a bad habit or an ex-lover? The truth is that most of us suffer from a feeling of inner emptiness that we are trying to fill up with our various attachments - often without much success.

Someone told me this before. " If you want something or anyone, first you have to learn to let it go. If it belongs to you, eventually it will come back to you." He inspire me a lot. He teach me how to let go of something when it do not belong to you anymore.

Why let go if the thing is important to you? Why let go when a person is important to you? Well, the only reason I get for myself is if you force yourself to not let go, it will hurt only yourself. Do not ever scare to let go of something. Be brave. Letting someone and something to go is a kind of braveness. It shows that you are brave enough to put down the past and move on in your life which can make you more mature. Part of letting go and moving on is facing the fears and disappointments of the past that are binding your spirit. Let go and get a better life.

Creativity ?

What is creativity? How to be more creative? Why should I be creative? When should I be creative?
When your boss or lecturer ask you to be creative in your work and assignments, most people will ask these questions. Me too. I always wonder lecturer ask us to be more creative, but they never taught us or tell us the way to be creative. " Think out of the box ", I can understand this but the problem is HOW?

There are six phase in the creativity process.

The Creative Process has six phases… Inspiration:    research and generate many ideas Clarification:  focus on your goals Evaluation:    review your work and learn from it Distillation:    decide which of your ideas to work on Incubation:    leave the work alone Perspiration:  work determinedly on your best ideas To be creative, you cant skip any step above, you have to follow the steps and you can be creative. I haven try it yet but I will try it in future. :) For me, when I have to be creative, I will just follow my heart and do whatever I can think of. That's the way for me to be creative. I should change my way to be creative so that i can be more creative and really understand the meaning of " think out of the box". To be creative, you have to brave enough to think. Don't think about the idea will work or not, and think vertically. We as human, were taught to think horizontally since we were kids. For example, people always think that we cant use badminton racket to play ping pong. But why? this is because we were taught so. To be creative, we have to be deviant, do things out of the norms. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” ― Albert Einstein http://www.greenfields.u-net.com/docs/

Colourful Life

I always imagine I have a colourful life.
Enjoying the sun rise with a cup of coffee, feel the "scratch" of wind on my face with the one I love, watching the sun "disappear" between mountain , watching fish swimming in the crystal clear pond , listening to the birds' "song" , cycling around and talk to people and many many more. But its just in my imaginary land. Nowadays, people rush for everything, work, studies, meeting. Have you ever slow down and take a look around you? there are many wonderful things around us.

One day when I was walking to uni to attend class, I walk slowly and I realise there are so many wonderful things will happen around you. All you need to do is slow down and observe. For me, wonderful things is when people help each others, driver tolerate on the road, car driver stop the car and let people cross the busy road, people help the poor one , enjoying my lunch without rush, and many more. 

I realise that people always do not appreciate what they have in their life. They find out their life is not good and not the life they wanted. Actually, everyone's life is wonderful. All you need to do is slow down and feel it, and you will see the world in a different way.

I don't need that much to live - we don't need that much to have a wonderful life. I learned that from animals.

-Carrie Ann Inaba

Boundaryless Love

Love can be expressed in many way.  Love does not just means love between couple. There are many type of love, love between family, love between friends, love between couple, love between you and your pets, love between your favourite game and you and many many more type of love.

Among all of these LOVES , which love is boundary less love? It actually depends on how you define boundary less love. For me, the first is the family love ! Family always was the one who support you and help you , stay by your side.  People always said that blood is concentrated than water, which is true compare with their density.But the main point is nothing can compared to blood-related family. 

The second is the love between me and my religion. It always give me hope and make me feel energetic to continue and having faith on what am I doing. It always teach me not to lose hope in everything. Apart from that, I can always feel the love that god gave us ( the pure love ). God always love us because we are God's so called "Sons" and "Daughters".God created us and he will not give up on us. Whatever bad things happens, there always will be a way for us to face the problem. I love God because he gave me everything and I will always hold my faith.

The third is the love of me towards my friends. I always love my friends becaue they makes my life become wonderful and meaningful. Without friends, I will always be alone and i hate to be alone. Imagine your life without friends. That would be pathetic, you will go shopping alone, playing basketball alone, watch movie alone, eat alone. Maybe somebody else can do it but its a NO for me.

There are many others type of love in our life. And there is much more boundary less love in my life too. I will always appreciate the love given by people around me and give out more boundary less love to people. LOVE is not a word, don't talk,  ACT. Show it to the one you appreciate before you regret. :)

Always and Forever

" The Original" ( drama that talk about original vampires families )

In this drama , the vampires always talk about families. For them, family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. This drama really give me some inspiration that family is very important for us. No wonder what happen, family always will stay by your side to help you. When you done anything wrong, they will forgive you and help you to clean up the mess you have made.

Family is not just family for me. It means a lot for me because every time they are the one who help me, support me and giving me love. It is family members who comes to rescue me in the need of hour and stand by me when I feel lonely. They give me mental as well as financial support. Friends will come and go but family will always be there. Families are like the lasting friends. They teach us to have relationships with other people, how to love, how to get along, how to share.

Family is always an important part of my life. Without family, I will not be here studying and writing my blog.

Always and forever means no wonder what happen , family will always stay by your side to help even though you argue with them. Family will always forgive your mistake and correct you.

So, take good care of your families and stay forever with them.

Mistake

Mistake : an action or judgement that is misguided or wrong.

People make mistake. And mistakes usually cause some degree of pain, loss or struggle. There are no one in this world who never make a single mistake.When we hear that someone apologized for his mistake, our instinctive reaction is to want to forgive. We probably wouldn't react the same way.

I admit that I have make a lots of mistake since the day I born. To me, mistake is like when you want to bake a cake and you forget to put in baking powder or when you forget to finish your assignment and you have to pass it up on that day. What happen when we make mistake? We apology. Apology for our carelessness, apology for our  incautious, apology for our inattentive. 

Since I was a kid, I make a lots of mistake. I forget to pass up my homework, I hit my friend, I scold people, I did bad in my exam. But after that, I apology. We were taught to apology when we make mistakes since small. But why nowadays people don't apologize for mistake that they have done? People rob, snatch, bully, hurt and they don't apology. Sorry seems to be the hardest word in the world. 

Personally, I don't refuse to say sorry when I make mistakes. I think saying sorry whenever you make mistakes or you don't can restore relationships. After a fight and before forgiveness often comes an apology. But saying “I’m sorry” comes more easily for some people than it does for others. 

So, Go ahead and say sorry. Don't feel shy for doing this act. Making mistakes and saying sorry is not an humiliation. Everyone learn from mistakes. Without mistakes, we can't learn. 

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
― Albert Einstein

Photography

Photography is the process of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium like film or an electronic sensor. I have been interested is photography since I was studying high school. My interest came from my friend. He always take nice photo and make me interest in it too. Until now, I like to capture photo and make the photo become more beautiful and nice. 

For me, photo is not just a photo. The moment I capture photo is the moment I saved my wonderful moment. Photo always can remind me about some happy moment I had with my friends, family. When I review back those photo, I still can feel the happiness through the photo. In future, I will capture every moment I have with my lover, children and every wonderful moment in my life. I also always share the photo that I taken to important people in my life such as families and friends. 

Apart from that, photography also make me see the beauty in everyday. Once you start noticing details in the photo, you inevitably start to see how much beauty is all around you. When I take photo, I can forget sad things that happened and relieve my stress.  Photography also lets me to express myself—my opinions and beliefs. Every photographer have their own perspective and ways to take their photo. Different people will take different type of photo. 

Photography is my hobby and interest, it teach me how to cherish every single moment and happiness we get.

“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”

― Karl Lagerfeld

Recycle

This video is about how the coke company use the coke bottle to exert their creativity, which is use the empty coca cola bottle to recycle use. Using the empty coca cola bottle, you can put them into water gun, colour pencil, pencil sharpener, sprinkle, weighting bottle, a lamp and many thing else. This a a very good way to reuse the empty bottle. We always throw the empty bottle away after we drink the coke inside, but with creativity, we can give the empty bottle a second life.

I think this is a very good idea because nowadays, the environment is getting worst. We, as a human living on the earth should take all responsibility to take care our earth. Talking about taking care our earth, there are 3 key factor when we think about recycle, which is Recycle, Reuse and Reduce. Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment. The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy: raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated and then transported to wherever it will be sold. As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment, and save money.

After watching the coca cola video and it makes me think that i should really start to carry out the 3R in my life. Yesterday, I use a empty bottle to make a spray. Start from today , I will start to recycle, reuse and reduce to save our earth. I think everyone should do the same thing with me. Let us get start when it is not too late ! 

“The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble.”

Fats

Fats, according to the dictionary , it is mean by a natural oily or greasy substance occurring in animal bodies, especially when deposited as a layer under the skin or around certain organs. Many people die because of this four words, FATS.

I'm a 19 years old boy and consider as a tall guy (in Malaysia), and maybe a little chubby? I always think that I'm quite fat actually. Last time when I was studying secondary school, I was really a fat guy because I'm quite short that time. Every day I eat a lot and still not satisfy with what I eat. I eat more and more and more and for sure my body size become bigger and fatter. This habit keep going until someone ask me one question that really change my life. He is a Muscular guy in my religion group(SGM,i mention it in my last week's blog). He ask me:" do you want to maintain this situation, this size of  body through your rest of your life? maintain this eating habit until the day you died? It's a quite tough question for me on that time. After I got home, I keep thinking about the thing he asked me. My mind keep replaying the word and question he tell me. What will happen to me in future if I keep growing fats? getting heart disease? Diabetes? How is my life if I don't change? and I tell myself NO. I SHOULD NOT. There are so many disadvantage being fat. For example, I can't wear nice shirts and shorts, I always will be tired after walking for long time, not good looking on a fat body, and the most important is I WILL NEVER GET A PRETTY GIRLFRIEND ( this is what I think last time :p)  Start from that day I decided to change my lifestyle and start to slim down. I don't jog everyday because I'm quite lazy. I just eat lesser in my every meal and sometime I jog, sometime I work out myself in my room. Day after day and now I become slimmer than last time ( at least slimmer haha ) 

What I wanted to say is for those who are really fat is Don't you ever give up, The moment you give up is the moment you fail.  Always try your best to exercise. It's your life, you have to manage it yourself. What you want in your life, go ahead and archive it with your strong heart, the only enemy you have is always yourself.

So good luck to you and me too, let's get slim together :)

Here is one very good advertisement picture from the ministry of health in French.

Brave

How, Why , When to be brave?

BRAVE is defined as ready to face and endure danger or pain.

Brave is not when you have courage to go and rob someone else, go and bully some people, or and do something that harm other people and against the rules.

Here is 4 steps to be brave.

First :  You have to admit that you are scare. Brave does not means that you are not afraid of anything. It means that you're afraid, but you move forward anyway. Say it to yourself , you don't have to tell anyone else. You have to accept the risk to do anything.  Focus on what you want and fight for it. 

Second : Find a role model. Find someone that you think he is brave and you like their braveness and you would learn from them. 

Third : Make a decision. If you face any problem, don't be impulse. Stop and think about what should you do. Think about is it the right things to do and make a decision and go ahead to do it.

Fourth : Don't think, ACT. Thinking doesn't make any changes. Every success comes from a simple ACT. You have to perform and act correctly. 

When I was a kid, I'm shy and timid. I'm not brave enough to speak out my opinion. I will just say yes to every decision people made for me and follow it. Why? Because I'm not brave. But now I'm not coward any more. I speak for myself, I ask for what I want, I protect myself, I fight for what I want !

Being a brave man makes me feel strong whenever I face problems. When I face any problem in my studies, I will not simply give up easily. Be brave and face the problems. Always avoiding the problem doesn't make any changes in your life. You have to be brave and fight for anything you want. No one will give you whatever you want, you have to fight for it. Being brave can allow you to feel new things and create emotional attachments to new places, people and ways of life. BRAVE this five alphabet gave many people hope to live on and keep fighting for their own life. 

When you face failure in your life, be brave. Stand up, and fight against failure. Dun let it to K.O. you easily.

“Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it.”
― C. JoyBell C.

I believe that not much people know much about this simple three alphabet. Some of them even never heard about it before. Basically, SGM stand for Sokka Gakkai Malaysia. It is an organization that promotes peace in society through cultural exchanges and humanistic education, based on the life affirming philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism. The word "Soka" means creating value. This organization is a kind of belief and religion. We pray as other Buddhist did, but in a other ways. SGM comes from japan, which is called SGI (Sokka Gakkai International) there.  It currently consists of 90 constituent organizations and has 12 million members in 192 countries and territories worldwide.

Many people or friends of mine will ask me why and how did I know about this organization. Well, I was in this organization since I was a kid. My father truly believe in this religion because it really changes his life. Since I was a kid, I follow my father to attend many of the meeting and learn more about this religion. The more I attend activity and meeting, the more I feel the powerful of this religion. It really make me thinks in a different ways and it somehow changes me. When i face any problem in my exam or studies , I will sing "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" . It will give me some kind of peace and comfortable after I sing about one hours. It give me more confident and let me think that everything will be fine, just try my best and I will get what I wanted to get. Apart from that, I always read the books written by our "sensei". This man is from Japan and we name him as "Ikeda Sensei". He is the teacher of this religion. He always talk something and do something that really awesome. We love him and will always respect him. 

                                               

A lot of people will ask me why I will trust this kind of things ( singing "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" and will change my life, my thinking ). Well, this is because I always heard the people elder than me in the religion talk about their experience and that really work on them. Some of them always have problem in their life and after they sing "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" , it really changes their life. When I'm studying in secondary school, my results was quite bad. I always get a C or D in my exam. One of the uncle encourage me to sing "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" everyday in order to help me to get better results in studies. At first I don't really believe in it but after a few months working hard on it, it works. In the 3 months, I will sing "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" for one hour and always do revision on my studies. After 3 months I really shocked about my result. I get almost all B and A in my exam. Since that time, I truly believe that this really work and it really changes my life. Today, I always encourage my friends and family to take part in every activity held by our organization. I have faith in this religion and I will always try to introduce to my friend so that more and more people get to know this and more and more people can live with peace and love.

Saxophone

It is a conical-bore woodwind musical instrument. Saxophones are usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. Saxophone is invented by Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1846.

There are many type of saxophone , which is Soprano-sax,  Alto-sax, Tenor-sax, and Baritone-sax. I personally love Soprano-sax and Tenor-sax. Its in Bb key.

When I was in high school, I join my school band and learn to play this instrument. Its quite hard to learn it at first. But after I major the skills to play the instrument, its quite fun I love it so much. There are many famous saxophone player as known as saxophonist. Sometimes I listen to Kenny G's songs to improve my skills. I enjoy listening their music. It always give me the feeling of peace and romantic. It gives me the feeling that everything will be okay at last. In school, I try my best to improve myself and prepare for the coming concert. I love to be with my band mates because it always feels like I'm at the second home. 

The thing I have learn from saxophone is that we just need to try our best to work hard on something. As long as we work hard to learn it, apply it, we can major it and success at the end. I used to be one person that have no confident, maybe consider as less confident. But after I learn saxophone, it gives me the feeling that I'm also can do well in something, I always feel confident when I play it. I'm happy as long as people feel comfortable and happy listening the song I play. It kind of make me feel more confident. Without Saxophone, maybe now I'm still someone who have no confidence and passionate in doing everything. 

Saxophone is not just an instrument for me, its a hobby , partner of mine. I love it and appreciate I can learn to play well with it :)

All our dreams can come true–if we have the courage to pursue them.
