Utterly Useless Post About New Glasses

29 Mar

Recently, H. E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche took me out and my housemate, Paul and got us prescription glasses made for us. Paul got a pair of Oakley’s while mine was something else. Then I tried out Paul’s Oakley’s just for fun and Rinpoche really liked it. Amidst the flurry of choosing, we decided to get…

Rich Dad, Renunciate Son

27 Mar

I have heard about the story of the billionaire’s son before but I have never actually read about it until Rinpoche blogged about this recently. I am quite amazed with the spirituality that this family displays although they are so wealthy, their spirituality is pretty much intact. The son is an heir to billions but…

The Scream

23 Mar

I love horror movies and ghost stories but I would be scared shitless if they were good. For some strange reason, my fear doesn’t lessen my fascination with of the macabre. I love these stories although I was scared shitless. Anyway… A few days ago, I was telling Rinpoche a story of a particular real life…

Morning Ritual

20 Mar

I am out of ideas to blog so I am doing something silly like document my morning ritual before I head to work. Here in this picture, I just woke up and staring myself at my iPhone camera. I am not a morning person so I don’t look the least friendly. I apologize for that…

Herbs and Spices for Offerings?

19 Mar

(I am not advocating Organic Green Tea with Jasmine but the use of teas, herbs and spices as offerings. Anyway, I love the packaging. Hehe!) We instinctively know that the herbs and spices have a healing effect on our body. Even some animals know that and would instinctively look for certain fruits, plants and shrubs…

New Set of Wheels

15 Mar

Just got my new car! I traded in my old Savvy and got the latest “Lagi Best” Myvi. It was a slightly complicated process but it was done fairly quickly. I will leave the boring details out of this. At one point, I wanted just stick with the old car and hope it doesn’t explode…

Yesterday’s Boyband…

7 Mar

Anybody remember these Irish lads? Well, I pretty much have forgotten about them until I was rummaging through my glove compartment for a CD to listen during rush hour traffic. I came across the Boyzone’s Greatest Hits CD and hastily inserted the CD into the player. Well, what blared out of the stereo was not…

Death Dreams

6 Mar

Ever dreamt of death? I have. Well, it is not the sort of thing to talk about proudly but I have. I guess it is sort of nightmare but it is not an ordinary nightmare. Someone close to me died in the dream and when I woke up, I was really glad that it was…

The Talking Post – The Big Fish

1 Mar

I was invited to this The Big Fish event last month but I couldn’t make it. That was just too bad. I heard it was a lot of fun! It was an event where people just took the mic and told stories live while following a very simple theme. I found out too late as…
