At my first glance through this article Lama's brand new approach I thought this guy is a model before become a monk. Not until I've read the content that I realise this monk work for about a month as a runaway model at a production house which own by one of his student.
Here I'm not introducing Buddhism to you all or criticising it. It is an overview of world religion. I might quote it as my example since I've read it.
After reading the article, I'm pondering...do we need the religion to be evolve so that it adapt or suit to the new generation of mankind? As I've been taught at school, the world consist of 5 major religion namely Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism & Hinduism. All these religion have a very long history. I'm pretty sure their teaching is based on the society and culture at that original place and time.
It will be untrue to say that these religion didn't change at all after so many years. Yes they could have evolve in the several ways like the method of spreading the message, the ways of interpreting the holy book & etc....(well I can't think of other example...you tell me)
Nevertheless I believe their so core doctrine will endure forever and ever. It is not practical for us to apply the teachings of yesteryear literally. All we need to do is just take the principle of that particular teaching to be apply to our current situation.
But in recent year we could see that the some religion leader have openly condone the activity of gay and lesbian and even legalise their marriage. Are we that desperate to gain more worshipper/follower? Aren't these have violate the teaching of the religion that promote a union between a male and female? I think there are many more example that will prove that some of the religion have changed and slowly drift away from the main teaching.
D0 we need this kind of evolution to suit the new generation and invoke the wrath of the creator?

New Generation of School Kids
Guess what, today's kid no longer naive or innocent as those of yesteryear. Having dinner yesterday with few school going youth is an eye opening to me.
Since one of the youth is sort of a counsellor prefect, he tell us some of his school type counsel patient case. Well the story ranging from anxiety/stress of exam to the death of kitten. But one particular story catch my attention.
This patient of his is a sissy type student having a big crush on his classmate (just name him Student A). My friend only handle this case on the initial state as it have to hand over to the teacher to solve it (too complicated for youth to solve the problem). From what he know this Student A is a very popular guy plus he is a athlete. Hmmm...must be very handsome and with all those biceps and...well just do some imagination yourself...hehehe.
Student A also likes this sissy guy. But must be Student A have confusion over his sexual preference cause him to be dump and the sissy guy seek counsel. According my friend, Student A said that he likes both male & female...wow...maybe have to blame his imbalance hormone.
So my point is....during my day as student I've never heard of such incident happen. What we got is just normal boy have crush on girl...girls have crush on boy....etc.....but not of gay/lesbian type of case.
Where will the this lead to??? What happen to this world????

A Guy Who Can Cook & Bake
Well I can't say I a good cook or a great pastry chef.....but I have interest in the area. I keen to learn the new recipe. But I still got no guts to try every recipe that makes my saliva dripping from my mouth. Still need to think of costs before buying the ingredient.
So far I've invest some money to buy baking utensils. Buying only the utensil that I will use frequent.
Everybody will have one kind of look when they know I could bake cakes. Yeah guys seldom cook or bake. Oops now many guys cook for girls. There is a trainee working in my office few weeks ago...he said that he cook for his friends at their rented house. Well according to him the girls don't know how to cook. No offence here! But I also didn't deny the truth from what i see and hear that nowaday girls is not what girls used to be last time.
The trainee intend to become a chefs....but his parent object, so he take other subject to study.
Till now beside then the trainee, I haven't really meet a guy that have the same interest as mine. Is it really that difficult to look for one?

Being Adopted Son/Daughter......(2)
When people ask me how many siblings do I have. I'll think for a moment and will reply...."I have another 2 sibling" (exclude P)......but depend on situation ....sometimes I'll say I have 3 other sibling (include P).
I'm very scare when people ask me question on "how many sibling do I have". I scare that when I say I have 2 other sibling, on the other side my sister telling people we have 3 sibling, then we'll die....having to explain to them.
At one time my sister and I study in the same collegue but different class. So as usually on the beginning of semester some lecturer will get know the student by having casual chat. Well got one particular lecture did ask me THE question.....so I say 2 sibling. This lecture also teach at my sister class. I just hope the lecture won't ask my sister the same question. When I have chance I go and meet with my sister and inform her about the matter. I think from that day onwards our answer have been standardise no matter who ask or in what situation.
I HAVE MORE 2 SIBLING.
This is not to say we do not accept P, but it is more easier for us ..... by not having to explain where is P, what is P doing now or never heard of P being our sister and other sort of questions.
It is very difficult for us to reply when people start asking about P. Well we just don't mention about P to other people then this will solve our problem. So till now (except close friends) many still don't know I have another elder sister.
Lately I've found out another contradiction on our answer. All my sibling answer to THE Question is that "I have 2 more sibling". But my parent say they have 4 children. So far the problem haven't arise yet. Well hope other people won't found out.

Being Adopted Son/Daughter
How do you feel when you first know you are adopted child? Do you have many question than answer? You like to know who is your biological parents? You are curious whether you have any biological siblings?
I don't know.........I'm not adopted child! But my eldest sister is. Lets name her P
As a kid P is sort like a stranger in my life. I seldom have chance to see her as we didn't live together. She live with my grandmother while I......I live with my parents and other siblings in another house around 30 min journey.
P very seldom come to my house and when my father bring us to visit grandmother every weekend, I also couldn't meet her. She is like someone related to me (as she is my sister) yet she is far from me.
As a kid I will be very happy if I could see her and have her around my family for a couple of minutes or hours before she vanish again and don't know when will we meet again.
Yeah, I also remember I didn't talk much or play with her as our wide age gap. I'm only a small kid when she already a youth.
A youth is the most rebellious. P is no exception and even hard to control when she already know she is adopted child. Strange things do happen, P accept my father as her father but not my mother. So it is another history/story why P do not accept my mother.
I still remember my mother say P is very difficult to teach/discipline as she is adopted. She will not listen to what my mother say.
There is a period of time, P really don't like my mother. Yes it is during the time when P is already working. When P call back home, she sometimes will ask "is your mom home?". My 2nd sister did ask why it is "my mom" and not "our mom". The reply is "she is really your mom and not my mom". Well what she say is logic....to me when I'm just a teenager that time!
Time really can change a person. When P is married and have kids....P relation with my mother improve tremendously. Out from P own mouth she say "during young time, I don't have a mature thinking, now is different after having own family and kids". Well I think P finally realize that what my mom do or say means well to her. Yeah...when P call back home no longer she say "your mom"...it become "mom".
So P marry to a businessman and live in another state. Her life is much more better than us (we are from poor family). She didn't leave us, she help us. My mother think P help us because she was move by God. As I say we are from poor family....my father don't own a house (we live in a rented house) or a car.
P purposely buy a new house for us to stay. P know we don't have money to buy new furniture.....she bear most of the cost.....including house renovation cost. Living in a new township is not convenient to move around....P give her car to my father. Well now I'm living in a very comfortable house and got car to ride. :)

Can You Help Me?
On 27th Feb 2006, 11.48pm my friend sms me telling that the petrol price will increase and quickly fill up my fuel tank. Its close to midnight and this guy ask me to go out and fill me tank! Forget about it.
28th Feb 2006, newspaper frontpage......Petrol price increase RM0.30/lit. Nowadays the Government like to make decision in the middle of the night. They make the annoucement at 10.30pm (27/02/2006) and will be effective at midnight.
With petrol price increase, everything will increase soon. Only one thing didn't increase......my SALARY!
28th Feb 2006, (noon).....I send my Financial Controller (FC)to board the plane. During the journey I hints to him that it is the time for him to request from the Boss for increment! It a very...very reasonable request from the Boss since we didn't get increment for year 2005 and this year! Every year the company is making profit, why can't they increase our pay!
1st Mar 2006, one of my manager ask me whether there is any news on increment for the staffs. Nope...no news. So I tell him to remember me if he is going to request from the boss.
"Sorry you are not my direct staff, I can't help you"
This is the answer I get!
I know my situation is a bit complicated because Company A hire me and Company A have a related company (Company B) which I'm now in charge of the accounts/HR/etc. The manager is from Company B and he is right that I'm not directly under him.....but now I work under him, isn't he have the rights to request pay raise for me?
So forget about the manager, now I will focus on my FC, hope once he is back from outstation he will request pay raise for us.
12.00 Noon, Boss come into the office
Boss : Alpha pls come to my office
(I enter Boss office)
Boss : You prepare the salary for the Company B's staff with the proposed increment from the Manager, increment effective Feb'06 but back pay the Manager since Jan'06.
WoW, my manager have such a great influence on my boss. This have prove 2 things.....my FC is useless after proposed few times to my boss for increment still have no news. Secondly, maybe my FC didn't proposed to my boss at all, which he say he did when we ask him.
One with great influence but not my direct superior. One is my direct superior but useless. Who will help me then?

Irresponsible Motorcyclist
Yesterday, my office boy got a shock, when he was informed that his kid met an accident and now is in General Hospital.
Initially the teacher told him that his kid was fall from his school bas. We suspect that his son's mischief that have bring this disaster.
So his son was at General Hospital and have a series of medical check-up including X-ray. The poor kid is unconscious when he was admit to the Hospital but later he reagain conscious.
When the kid was calm down, he relates that he is being hit by a motorcycle. It is a hit and run accident....luckily somebody saw the incident and know who is the motorist. My office boy make a police report.
Why this motorcyclist so irresponsible to his own act. It is concerning life and death. The poor boy could be bleed to death or hit by another vehicle from the back.

21st Century Kids
The following are my conclusion on today's kids (primary school kids) after fetching and sending them back home from Religion Education Class :-
1. Stubborn - never follow instruction or advise
2. Cruel - today those kids are playing firecracker and the victim is fish,earthworm etc. Living creature will be put together with the firecracker and 'bang'.....sending those pity creatures to heaven.
3. Foul-mouthed
4. Playful - especially on dangerous items.....today is fire!......luckily they spare the van

Our Habit
Do you realize that sometimes we travel to one place using a long distance road instead of using a shorter distance road? It is because we are more comfortable using the road we are more familiar with.
Today I'm having lunch with my boss. I've notice the dishes he order is almost 100% same as what we eat few days ago at this same restaurant. Not only this time I've notice his habit of ordering the same dishes, he does it almost everything and at every other restaurant.
Although we go to a famous and expensive restaurant, after eating a few rounds of the same dishes you'll realize the dish is no longer have the special taste as when you eat it first time.
Oh man!this is not a road side stall which do not have varieties of dishes, he should have order different dishes upon our every visit to all the famous restaurant!
He just don't know how to utilize his money to order good food! Well for me, I just want to eat good food but I'm without money. But again my boss just order the same old dishes. Haiz~~

Why people like to argue?
Today some of our family friends come to my house for chit-chat. Later the conversation turn into some debate on certain issue. Two uncle keep on explaining, defending, refute to my father and me.
Well I just sit there to listen to their argument. I nod my head when they explain their stand to me. I try not to side no either party.....I'm neutral mah!
I've make my conclusion (in my heart) after a length of debate between them. They are just some old people who got nothing to do and the debate is just one of the method to kill time. Both of them tackle on different root of the problem which will certainly have different explanation. Even they argue until death also could not solve the problem.
I do not know whether they are aware of it or not, but I just excuse myself and leave the nonsense debate to my father to handle. Muuahahaaaa
People like to stand on their view of point, don't want to lose face when they are wrong and it will lead to an endless debate. Ego is one of the problem, if you really don't know on the subject matter don't try to be the expert! It will make the whole situation worse.
Admit your mistake when you are wrong. Keep your mouth shut if the subject matter is not your field expertise. To give opinion is okay but not need to stand firm on your view point when others challenge it, just keep it to yourself as others have their own thought. Then everything will be okay....no debate & arguing on nonsense subject.

Feel blessed
Just arrive home from my church service. Today's sermon make me ponder that I'm blessed, because I'm healthy. Few days ago I visit one friend in B.G Hospital. He is admitted there because of his kidney problem. I was told that he only have 1 kidney left as 10 years ago some sickness have cause one of his kidney to be taken out. Now I've found out that he is transfer to General Hospital as his sickness quite serious that require dialysis.
Few months ago I've visit my friend's father in General Hospital. His father have an accident and now he is laying in hospital paralysis....and blind but able to move only one hand. During my visit, he is still unconscious....with no scratch on the body, I'm thinking did he really have an accident? Until now I'm not very sure did he really have an accident, but I guess if he really have an accident could be that his head knock on hard surface that cause his unconsciousness and paralysis (head injury).
Two weeks ago my boss's wife together with her friends baking cookies and sell them, the proceeds will be donate to charity society (cancer society & etc). She ask us (office staff) help her to raise the fund by selling it. We, office staff help her and sell quite a number of container. I guess people are willing to buy because Chinese New Year is around the corner. They intend to make some goodwill by doing some charity. I myself also buy 1 container
I feel I'm blessed.....able to do some charity.
