Does age goes directly proportional towards maturity... Just some food for thoughts in the case of Jack Neo Case...
I find it that with maturity, comes age and not the other way else.. People are just so mistaken about it, thinking a 48 year old person should have more maturity than a 20 year old girl... I say it is bullshit... If so, what makes you think you are more mature than the guy next to you... Just think for this second..

Control...
So much to talk about and yet it does not really matters actually... So much to concern about and yet you know, in the end the person whom you are concerned with does not quite deserve it...
It has actually come to this stage of my life...
Judgement is only a tool that makes the illusion-ed world of ours grey in color...
As i start to end this, i realise the world of philosophy is actually in a messed... Not until you have actually mastered the highest level of self control of your own pathway of light...
Yet another incoherent blabbing of mine...
Watched Avatar on the internet today... Realised that if I watched it on theatres, the effect onto me will be different... It is a good movie... not with the graphical effects, but rather the invasion plot... The mindset of the invaded... Not many can actually understand them...

Random Ramblings #1: Alive & True
What is it like to be alive,
To be true to thy self & thou soul?
For we bury our real selves under guises,
Guises of politically correctness & politeness;
We fear what others might think,
We are slaves to the approval of men,
And often we don't mean what we say,
Or say what we mean.
We're taught to "think before we speak",
but do we think too much and soon forget what we intended to speak?
Do we quench that fire burning in our hearts,
With cold shower of cynic's opinions?
Like how that ol Japanese saying goes,
"A nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
Somewhere in the recesses of our minds,
Do we subconsciously submit to that notion?
While growing up, I always appreciated harmony,
So much so that it seems like I practise self-censorship every so often,
Fearing that indeed if I speak, I'll be hammered down by someone in authority
Someone who's supposed to have a "better" opinion,
Someone more qualified?
Is it really wrong though, to be ignorant and voice out what you feel?
I used to hate people who appeared like empty vessels,
Trying to argue about an issue, while they are misinformed or
With arguments so shallow it's like wading through a swimming pool fit for a foetus.
But at least I salute them for first coming out of their comfort zone,
That comfort zone of sitting on the fence,
And not take the risk of becoming the public enemy or being ridiculed.
And talking about opinions...
When was the last time I really voiced what I felt.
An opinion which ain't just regurgitating what you hear or read in the news,
any 'auntie' can do that.
Where's the last time I thought critically about an issue?
To develop my own personal opinion?
And not just opinions, but also principles, convictions.
Where are my convictions, my principles, my morals, my values?
What do I stand for?
What makes me alive?
Am I true to myself?

What is considered normal??
Following what one should do? or following what one wished to do...
Either way, there should be a balanced and wait till one has understood his maturity from there, then one will what to do...

Death
I wish to share some information about grieving about death and death itself... However, let me finish with that book first...
False Trust....
This is a new term for me... Maybe that is why i am so agitated when things happen... Just want to hope that nothing goes wrong afterall...

A sign of relief
After so many processed thoughts, i am glad to find that i still have someone who has the same frequency as me...
Sometimes, i wonder how often than not, do we get to meet people after years (or maybe not that long lar) of non-contact, we still manage to share stuff and update each other??
I am quite lucky to say...

Singtel or Starhub, Broadband sucks?
Then in the first place, why bite more than one can chew...
Now we are facing efficiencies of services
Perhaps the recommended way of solving this problem is to create another service which LIMITs the number of users into their broadband such that they are able to enjoy the real services that the company is offering..
Any intakers for the project... I bet you will earn much more than singtel or starhub... lol...

Food for thoughts..
Come Across this on FaceBook
Maybe i should share...
And even now as I type and attempt to compose my feeble disorganized thought into some form of a coherent sequence of the written word, I am continuing to discover things about myself faster than I can write them down, struggling to keep up with fleeting images and trying to figure out the significance they bear with my life.
There is only such a thin line between productive self-discovery and a mere, worthless dis-assembly of meaninglessly random prose.

Stress..
It is funny to see how people can be so stressed about certain stuff, when the advice that is given is to take in a deep breath, clear your head and go to sleep..
The point i want to make is, sometimes, the simplest thing is always out of our sight... for no apparent reason...

Many a theory, most hypothesis, none works for all
The best and the most important one that i learn, always sit on the fence if it does not apply to you... Though no matter how much you wish to help, the outcome is never pleasant.. As you are implying your thoughts to that situation and wishes it to happen the same way that you want it to happen..
So for a peaceful solution to that helpful attribute of yours, learn to give generic comments and try not to side any parties... Afterall, the only fault that is directed is always towards ALL of the involved party... This is the way to a peaceful mind... Hopefully..

Tutoring....
Finally, i am able to understand the phrase 'the passion and drive of young teachers'..
It really encourages me when a tutee wishes to extend or have more lessons with me...
It causes me to go the extra mile for them, even though at times, i am reluctant to do so... However, i find it worthwhile..
However, though, this means that there will be more stress for me... And at the very least, I am able to take it...
P.S. The recent posts made last few days are all random thoughts that had occurred which i wished to pen it down...

Matured??
Most often say, at the age of 21, people are ready for the world...
They have never ask themselves, whether their thoughts have been matured? or rather, have their perceived maturity give them false representations of the true self of who they actually were??
I read in a book that says, when we were at young age, we tend to be very impulsive in decision making and as a result, we usually get a second chance due to protection from the ones who care for you... However, as we age, we usually do not get the 'second chance'. And because of it, we tend to do and make decisions slowly, fearing that it would be a bad one... Responsibility comes...
These are the arts of aging... Fascinating??

Limits....
Sometimes, i can't help to think whether one is pushing his limits to a certain extent....
My limit is simple...
Gather everyone, organise aa simple meal, explain the rationale of this 'free' meal to them and tell them what i feel..
Seriously hope that one day, this will not come... However, i see the situation now... It is nearing...

What is your goal in life??
If you have any answer to it, Think harder
For there is no answer to it
And the goal is to die...

Lonely???
Perhaps, my view towards loneliness in the past is quite an opposite of what i perceive it to be now..
I do appreciate loneliness... and i am starting to like it...
It brings real peace to oneself...

Sadness
Okay, there is a saying from my friend that goes like this...
People don't like being with loners..
So when one is feeling lonely. be alone...
It actually solves the problem itself.. Paradoxically huh.. However, think deeper... If one wishes to find companionship just because he wants it, it may or eventually backfire...
On a personal note, the feeling of jealousy and sadness comes in again... I have to let these emotions run thru me, then it will be another part and parcel of life...
Then, everything is nothing...

IPhone...
Ok, personally, i feel that it is getting more and more irritating for people to flash their apple products anywhere... The term 'unique' is no longer there... I really pity those who are getting iphones without they themselves knowing what do they actually want...
Maybe the better option to waste money is to donate it to my pockets.. I will see it to better use...

Apologising
Apologizing does not always mean that you are wrong and the other person is right... It just means that you value your friendship more than your ego...

Pain
Inevitably, all pain is about longing for yesterday - whoever we had before,whatever used to be. But when pain doesn't go away fast enough, we criticize ourselves for not getting over it, for not being strong enough, or even for being vulnerable in the first place..
That is not how wounds heal... They don't obey our wishes... Healing takes place in its own way and in its own time..
Only when i accepted that, only when i stopped fighting, did i find any peace...

Maturity
Maturity means (or i supposedly it means) one may accept the reality of the supposedly reality, however one may not agree to it...
A little more violent analogy
Suppose one guy kills one of my closer personnel... I may have accepted the reality that that person is gone forever.. However, though i may not have done anything bad to the do-er, it does not mean i agree to his actions... One day he will have to taste the revenge of someone else...

When You feel different, you think different...
Sometimes, i can't help to think, that we are just puppets for another person's entertainment..
Since change is inevitable, and you get hurt.. So the only consolation is next time, do not get yourself so deeply involved..
There must be bound to be some boundary...

There must be bound to be some boundary...
The more you feel your different-ness, the more lonely you will get.
As water of life wash over us, we lose our sharp corners, and that can be good; we can take on surprising, satisfying new shapes. We can also lose some of the great wisdom that we were born with. But the evidence of that wisdom stays with us, right under our noses...
Our job is simple; trust your instincts, remember your secret pact and reclaim the wisdom you have always had.
Being different is not a problem,it is just being different...
However, feeling different is a problem... When u feel different, the feeling can actually change the way you see the world...
The more you feel your different-ness, the more lonely you will get.

Quotes i like from The Nightly Book of Positive Quotations...
Truth is a rough, honest, helter-skelter terrier, that none like to see brought into their drawing room...
Kind words can be short and easy to speak.. But their echoes are truly endless...
The healthy, strong individual, is the one who asks for help when he needs it.. Whether he has an abscess on his knee or in his soul..

Flatterers look like friends as wolves like dogs...
Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tensions...
The defense force inside of us wants us to be cautious, to stay away from anything as intense as a new kind of action. Its job is to protect us, and it categorically avoids anything resembling danger.. But it is often wrong...
Judge each day not by its harvest, but by the seeds you plant...
The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: Find what interests you and that you can do well, put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability that you have...
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgives but do not forget...

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable...
