What's with all the troubles in life? Are troubles always big enough to cause unrest in daily life? Maybe with more responsibilities and events in life, one will be bugged by troubles, problems and stress. If there's too little time to do everything everyday, you won't have time to reflect on problems, thus leaving them at the back of your head, like dumping waste into landfill, and eventually when will be nowhere left to dump them, you break down.

Why not give yourself sometime everyday, to think about issues, ponder on problems, lay out stress and do something about it. Sometimes, your perception of something could be the greatest obstacle to overcome. If what you think, feel and perceive cannot do anything to change the fact, why not just let it be, and ACCEPT the fact? I used to worry a lot, think a lot, and get angry over facts that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, I lost more than what I gained.

Words of wisdom:

"Think of what you can do for others, instead of what others can do for you, and you will find the world a better place."

"Think of what have gained in the process, instead of what you lost in the end."

"Your brain cannot change the world, but it can make you change the way you look at it."

"People tend to remember painful memories more than happy ones, most people can recall the time they almost drowned swimming, but not when they learned how to swim for the first time."

"To a chef, a knife is his tool of culinary, but to a murderer, a knife is his tool of culling."

I hope after reading this post, some people out there may be enlightened and see life in a different light. =]

I'm still alive!

It's been awhile since I've blogged! In this while, I've finished my FYP, graduated from Polytechnic, rotten@home for 1/2 a year and now, the dreaded letter has flew into my mailbox; the letter of enlistment of national service. I'm being enlisted on June 15 2009, 8.30a.m., School 1.

But the least that comforts me is, I found 3ppl whom are enlisting on the same day and school as me! Just that 1 of them starts at 9.30a.m. instead. These people are namely, Alvin(Kuan Huat's buddy), Spencer and Wei Lun. Sounds cool eh, at least got companion to shave bald with me at the same time!

Anyways life has been a bore, staying in Singapore really makes me feel stoned. I prefer going on a holiday trip to appease my trapped soul. Therefore, I'm going Desaru with Lareina and her friends this May 24th! According to what I've found on the net, there are quite a number of places of interest over at Desaru, including and not limited to fruit/ostrich/crocodile farms, fireflies, watersports (legit ones). The accomodation isn't too bad there as well, for below SGD$200, you can enjoy a 2night stay with another person in a Garden/Pool/Sea View room that is quite spacious and well equipped.

If anyone is interested to go on travelling but have no idea where to go, why not make Desaru your next destination of enjoyment? Btw, it's only a 30mins ferry ride from changi to desaru. For more information on the trip, you may check out

I've been a lazy man, but I'm gonna start doing entries now.

Right, so I haven't been updating this shit of mine since eons ago and now I'm gonna do it. Oh wait, I've left this blog on the shelf so long that I'm graduating today, friday, that is.

Holy shit, I've been skipping school like nobody's business, and it's quite of nobody's business except mine. Let's take a look at my atrocities:

Biomedical Imaging : 12X
Biomedical Equipment : 6X
Medical Technology : 8X
Human Resource Management : 8X

And the winner goes to, tada! BIOMEDICAL IMAGING! The amount of times I skipped the lessons is 3X the amount I attended, which is not an easy feat. I'm surprised at my performance!

For that, I shall reward myself with more sleeping to escape from wallowing in sadness, in which I would rather not do. Anyways, I haven't thought of something fun to blog about, so I'll come back soon to update eager people who wanna know more shit about me, bye!

An effective and efficient way to fall asleep easily.

Some people think that sleeping is the best thing on earth, where you live in your own world and dwell in the twilight of reality and falsehood. But some idiots call sleeping a waste of time and life. Where the time spent on sleeping should be fully utilised to fulfill more meaningful things in life, which is bullshit I say.

Anyways, I believe that not a single person in this world never had any difficulties falling asleep. Sometimes, we have to toss and turn in the bed, trying to get into our "ideal sleeping position", having too much troubles for the near future to get some eye-shut and things like that. When you finally fall asleep, it's already wee-hours in the morning and all you had was several pathetic hours of real rest.

I've recently worked out and created a very useful, tried and tested method to enhance and increase the likelihood of falling asleep, not only that, it will also give you a good chance to have a dreamless night. Many studies have shown that dreamless sleep is the best and most healthy ones that you have, as it proves that you brain activities is kept to the minimal, and so does your body functions, which makes your body work less hard to recuperate spent energy and rejuvenation of cells. I call this method

How does Self-Hypnotising works?
As you know, psychiatrists sometimes uses hypnotism to enter the minds of their patients to learn more about what are they suffering from and how can they diagnose their patients. By hypnotising someone, it makes one's brain more skeptical to external influences. Self-hypnotising means hypnotising oneself into the state of relaxation, where you can gain more control over your brain to do your bidding.

Step-by-step to getting Self-Hypnotisation done:

Firstly, you must prepare yourself for bedtime, or an appropriate sleeping environment. Which means, you must feel comfortable and clean, dimmed/off-ed lights, suitable room temperature noise-free or equipped with soothing and relaxing bedtime tunes (lullaby, classical music, soft genre music with no emotional themes). Also, try not to eat anything or drink bevarages containing soda, alcohol (but just a glass of red wine would be brillant), caffeine or any cold drinks. But instead, get yourself a glass of warm milk, milo or hot chocolate instead.

Secondly, try to get yourself into the most comfortable position and stay there. (If you've to spend quite sometime tossing and turning to find that most position, you might as well just stop fidgeting and just stay still in any normal sleeping position you prefer. Most importantly, get yourself into a appropriate position to prepare for self-hypnotising.

Thirdly, close your eyes and make sure that there is no light shining towards your eyes (even when it's shut) as you may feel irritated. Try to remove all your thoughts and distractions, this is very important as when you enter the phase of self-hypnotising, it would be useless if you have another 1,000 thoughts running through your mind. It's okay if you're not able to do so, as you can try to eliminate these distractions during the course of self-hypnotising. But of course, it would be the best if you could clear your mind before starting on the session.

Now, it's time for unveil the most important part of this post. As you close your eyes, talk to yourself in the head (not speaking out loud). Say it slowly and softly to your head, imagine yourself talking to a newborn baby.

Close your eyes, you can see a bright, white, light. You're blinded by the light and there's nothing else you can see in the path.
Slowly, this light fades away, and you're replaced by darkness. You cannot see anything, not even your own hands. All you can see is darkness, dull, black boring darkness.
But even the this place of darkness, you felt quite comfortable, with occasional gentle breeze, you can feel the wind in your face, almost like lying on meadows, where you can hear cows and sheep grazing the fields, and the rustling of the leaves and the smell of the grass.
You lie comfortable on the patch of grass, it feels alot better than heaven. Slowly and quickly, you start to feel very lethargic, very lazy. Not willing to standup, or even move a finger, you just wanna lay there, and savour this moment. Every moment, you just get more and more tired, very, very tired. You don't wanna think of anything, nothing is as important as enjoying this time of your life.
As you are enjoying this moment, it felt like you're sinking into the grass, sinking slowly and steadily, into the ground, back into the darkness.
TADA!~ Before you know it, you've already fallen asleep! Focus all your attention on talking to your head which makes yourself distracted from any other distractions. Remember not to rush through the process as it will only make you more restless. For people that have tried this method after reading this entry, please feedback to me if it's useful or not. =)

I've just read an article from http://www.bspcn.com/2008/08/25/101-atheist-quotes/ , and I developed a greater understanding of what atheists are. So let's see the definition of what is atheist [ey-thee-ist] noun:

a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings or

persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief.

There were many interesting quotes that came from atheists themselves, and I find their principles in life very worth learning from.
Here are some quotes that I would like to share:

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes. - Gene Roddenberry
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned. - Anonymous
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence. - Doug McLeod (meaning the church is still afraid of getting struck by lightning even though they believe in God.)
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. - Susan B.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. - Susan B.
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. - Stephen Roberts (Which explains why christians do not believe in other gods and similarly why aethists don't believe in any.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish. - Anonymous
A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it. - David Stevens
It ain’t the parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand. - Mark Twain
Which is it, is man one of God’s blunders or is God one of man’s? - Friedrich Nietzsche
Religion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls people, Deludes people. - Carlespie Mary Alice McKinney
Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea. - Anonymous
History teaches us that no other cause has brought more death than the word of god. - Giulian Buzila
Atheism is a non-prophet organization. - George Carlin
A believer states everything must have a creator but fail to say how he was created. - Anonymous
If all the Christians who have called other Christians “not really a Christian” were to vanish, there’d be no Christians left. - Anonymous
Gods dont kill people. People with Gods kill people. - David Viaene (Sad but true!)
I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I’m ‘bad’. - Mike Fuhrman
Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. - Frater RavusThe characters and events depicted in the damn bible are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. - Penn and Teller
Animals do not have gods, they are smarter than that. - Ronnie Snow
The Bible - A Fairytale book of rules brainwashing millions. Obliviously used to help create war, kill, hate, judge and discriminate. - Anonymous
Jesus hardly made the greatest sacrifice. He knew he would be resurrected anyway. - Anonymous

ALVIN'S GUIDE TO HANDLING AND COPING WITH STRESS, EMOTIONAL DAMAGE AND BRAIN EXHAUSTION.

Many people always claim to be "emo", when they're upset, sad, troubled, breakup with stead, blaa, blaa blaa. So instead of just emo-ing and doing foolish things like banging the wall, clubbing to death, showing attitude, not coming school and such, why not take some advices from Alvin and stick it up your anus?

When your day got fucked, do not fuck your friends to relief yourself. If you do it often, one day you will find yourself having very few friends.

If you brokeup with your long relationship girl/boyfriend, do not wallow in pity and self-despair, grabbing attention from your best friends whom are desperately trying to get you back in life. Most people have a limit in their patience, do not put friendships to the extreme test, this is not "survivor reality series", they don't win a million by sticking to you.

Do not practise self-mutilation, your flesh and blood are the gift from your parents and it's wrong. Just remember who's paying for the medical treatment, and who worries the most when you're injured.

Smoking and drinking is fine, but not every single day for 10weeks, to the point you puke blood, tar and organ bits, that is.

Crying, yes, not everyday to all your friends and they get sick of you being such a pussy, a wimp, a useless fard.

Healthy/Positive Treatment Section

Make use of healthy and fun methods to release the bottled hatred, stress or emotional strain. Here are some examples:

Eating some good food. Preferably cheap and good ones. Intensive indulgence therapy will help a lot in relieving your pain. I always firmly believe that, "A hungry man is and Angry man."
Drink more fluids, like healthy juices, water and light herbal drinks (chrysanthemum, jiajia, barley, etc) Bottled negative feelings may cause a change in body's orientation which includes metabolism, difficulty in breathing, indigestion, water retention and the inability to expel gas, fluids and solids.
Participate in healthy events, doing sports like jogging, badminton, swimming, roller-blading, sun-tanning. It's inadvisable to do things that require more concentration, such as reading books, playing bowling/pool, etc. When one is emotionally tensed, one will experience difficulty in concentrating and being rational.
Go out with friends, especially when doing 3. On top of that, find people to talk to, it's optional for them to give advices, a listening ear is always good enough. Friends play a very important role in life, not just to share happy times, but sad ones as well.
Sleep, 'nuff said.
Venting Frustrations. I must say that this is the MOST IMPORTANT POINT after all that I've said. Do not go to the extreme, venting frustrations are always very fun, maybe because I'm a sadist. Hanging out with fun friends joking and laughing together, gossiping and bitching about people and people you hate. The most fun part? Go town or vivo or something, and observe people walking by, lookout for fat people whom dress like fuck, or just people whom dress like fuck. Make snide comments with your friends and laugh about it, HAH!
