Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.

Live.

don't think too much.

Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake.

Russian Proverb

A wooden bed is better than a golden coffin.

In loving memory of a friend who had so great a potential

to shine, go far, and be just as he is.

May your soul find rest in the Father's embrace.
And comfort, be upon your family members and friends.

virtue vs. livelihood

Marx, Karl

Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.

oui!

Pavarotti, Luciano

You don't need any brains to listen to music.

but... I guess this varies when it comes to which kind of music we're listening to and with what purpose the music serves as.

what's the point of listening without comprehending? or should the quote be modified to 'You don't need any brains to hear music'? makes sense, no?

nevertheless, it is a totally different situation when we treat music as a tool to unwind, and just empty the mind of all the clutter. haha. and that IS what most stressed out people need, eh? : )

Diderot, Denis 

Good music is very close to primitive language.

Ah! That's probably true since it gives you goose pimples!! hahaha.
Anyway... doing fine here in penang. Weather: a tad too hot apparently.

Wilde, Oscar
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.

Just a little thought of the day. haha.

Stocking up for July. So much to do, yet it seems like nothing.

Nonetheless, to those who are still waiting for their IPTA postings:

all the best!

... and yes, Carmen, we're looking forward to meeting you both soon! : D 

the problem with grey matter.

Wiesel, Elie

No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.

Nailed it, right in the face!

Sometimes we are so ego-centric. We care about ourselves more than anything else. We think of what will happen to us first before what it will bring to others. We 'cari pasal' thinking that we're better at doing something than anyone else. And we say 'If it weren't for so and so, this wouldn't have happened!', just to justify our actions. We frequently say all the do-unto-others-what-you-would-have-others-done-unto-yous and talk about so and so being otherwise.

Needless to say, we're all dirty linens underneath; we just happen to wear a  spotless cotton sheet, changed daily if we're humble enough to wash with plentiful doses of bleach called 'self-evaluation'.

it just snapped.

The Frames : Say it to me now

Feeling kind of mellow.
Like all the leaves turned yellow.
Wished I could just follow.
And not just listen to them bellow.

monday punches!

George Washington said, "Let your heart feel for the affliction and distress of everyone."


finally you've returned...

how I've been waiting, and waiting for it.
watching you was the best thing I've decided since you showed up.
in fact, I don't mind watching you every day.
sadly, school stuff matters.
and I can only see you once every week.
Mondays, yeah, only Mondays.


you kept me asking for more. I know.

I've been watching you for the past 2 years.
nevertheless, that wasn't my regret.
and I'll never, ever let you slip past me,again.






you had me at hello, CriminalMinds!
