As the 2 drawings suggest, it is hoped that the chaotic and volatile financial market of 2008 will give way to more orderly recovery and ascendancy in 2009.
.........................................................................................................................明天會更好輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈 慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界是否依然孤獨地轉個不停
春風不解風情 吹動少年的心
讓昨日臉上的淚痕 隨記憶風乾了
抬頭尋找天空的翅膀 候鳥出現牠的影跡
帶來遠處的飢荒無情的戰火依然存在的消息
玉山白雪飄零 燃燒少年的心
使真情溶化成音符 傾訴遙遠的祝福
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
誰能不顧自己的家園 拋開記憶中的童年
誰能忍心看那昨日的憂愁 帶走我們的笑容
青春不解紅塵 胭脂沾染了灰
讓久違不見的淚水 滋潤了你的面容
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈 慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界是否依然孤獨地轉個不停
日出喚醒清晨 大地光彩重生
讓和風拂出的音響 譜成生命的樂章
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢 讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容 充滿著青春的驕傲
讓我們期待明天會更好
唱出你的熱情 伸出你雙手

Happiness Is Free
The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts.
- Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor 161AD - 180AD)
Human Felicity
Human felicity is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur everyday
- Benjamin Franklin (One of the signatories to America's Declaration of Independence)

The following incident happened at a construction project in Brunei in 1981
While preparing the ground for a septic tank, the contractor had planked and strutted the sides of the excavated ground, put in place all the form-work and reinforcement in readiness for concreting.
The water table was high due to the river nearby. The contractor had sunk a number of well points and installed a few high power pneumatic pumps to lower the level of water. By his engineer's calculation, the equipments were sufficient.
However, after over an hour, he still could not get the level of water in the pit below that he wanted. The project was already going into penalty time. The contractor was naturally worried.
A bomoh heard about the contractor's plight and decided to go check out for himself. After surveying the ground, he said that the local deity guarding the peace of the area was angry with the contractor for not appeasing him before starting work. The bomoh then advised the contractor to slaughter a goat and offer to the local deity (Datuk Kong).
The next day, the contractor started his de-watering works again at the appointed time. This time the water level quickly went down and he was able to continue with the rest of the construction work.
Believe it, or not?
I do brisk walking on alternate days to keep me healthy and to sweat away the body toxins. I would normally go around my neighbourhood roads as there is much less traffic and less danger from stray dogs. However, on this day, after having gone four rounds without any incidence, I suddenly came face to face with a tall Alsatian. The creature simply came from no where after I rounded a corner. It was almost 3 ft. tall, and almost 4 ft. from head to tail.
When I do brisk walking, I am normally not so concerned about the goings on in houses around me. I would rather look down more often on the road 2 to 3 steps ahead so I do not step on rubbish, puddles, potholes or cat and dog shit. So when this Alsatian suddenly rushed up to me to block my passage forward, I instantly froze on the spot. After about three seconds, I tried to move sideway and forward, but it also got in front of me, but it did not bark.
My reflex to the blockade was to put my hand slightly in front to try and stop the attack, if it had come. Then I put my hands down as the dog circled me and started sniffing. It was a good 8 seconds. Somebody suddenly shouted and the Alsatian's attention was temporary diverted, but it did not go away. I realised then that the pet's owner was around. He was a good 15 ft. away, standing next to the open gate. He stood at the same spot, and did not come forward to try restrain or shoo it away.
The owner commanded the dog to go back into the house. When it looked back but did not budge, he shouted the second time. This time it retreated to the gate, still looking attentively at me. I took this opportunity to move forward briskly. I avoided the road in my next round, just not to test my luck.
Was it scarry, you bet. But some how, this flight and fright reflex from the adrenalin did not seem to take place. I could not run way from it when it blocked me, and it did not immediately pounce on me. I do not know what was it that helped to sooth the situation and prevented any possible injury, had it attacked straight away. Perhaps, by not moving, when the dog is up close, I probably signaled to the Alsatian that I was not unfriendly. After-all, both my hands were empty.
I had met a few dogs barking and trying to come forward while I was doing brisk walking before, but it was never this close. They stopped coming to me and went away slowly once I stopped moving and looked them straight in the eyes. That may be it. The action and inaction that saved me.
Talking about rearing dogs, I believe how a dog owner disposes off the dog's poo says a lot about the civic-consciousness, or could'nt care less mentality of the owner. I have lived in a place where the owner simply washes the poo into the street in front or down the open backyard drain, with the hope that the slope will take the stench away from him/her. What effect that has on other road users and neighbours are none of his concern.
Profiles in Courage 刚正不阿- John F. Kennedy [former US President]
- 约翰 . 肯尼迪 [美国第三十五任总统]
“In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience – the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men – each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient – they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.”
仰望星空
- 温家宝 [中国国务院总理]
我仰望星空，
它是那样寥廓而深邃；
那无穷的真理，
让我苦苦地求索、追随。
我仰望星空，
它是那样庄严而圣洁；
那凛然的正义，
让我充满热爱、感到敬畏。
我仰望星空，
它是那样自由而宁静；
那博大的胸怀，
让我的心灵栖息、依偎。
我仰望星空，
它是那样壮丽而光辉；
那永恒的炽热，
让我心中燃起希望的烈焰、响起春雷。
You Are What You Believe To Be 成功始于意念
- Mahatma Gandhi [印度圣雄 - 甘地]
Men often become what they believe themselves to be.
If I believe I cannot do something
It makes me incapable of doing it.
But when I believe I can
Then I acquire the ability to do it
Even if I didn't have it in the beginning
Every Effect Has A Cause 前因后果
- Abraham Lincoln [16th US President]
- 亚伯拉罕 . 林肯 [美国第十六任总统]
There are no accidents in my philosophy
Every effect must have its cause
The past is the cause of the present
And the present will be the cause of the future
All these are links in the endless chain
Stretching from the finite to the infinite.
万古流芳, 永垂不朽
以'良知'为引路灯
以'勇气'来体现他内心的呼唤
亚伯拉罕 . 林肯 改写了美国的历史
也为日后美国成为自由世界的领导者铺路
Anything Is Possible
- WILL YOUNG
I never thought I could be feeling this way
Standing here in front of you this perfect day
It’s hard to imagine where tomorrow will lead
I’ll keep this moment in my mind for eternity
Even through the rain I kept my faith
The will to follow through
And I never lost the strength within
And it’s all because of you
I’m flying high like the wind
Reaching the impossible, I’ll never doubt again
I’m flying high ‘cause your love’s made me see
That anything is possible
Possible ‘cause you believe in me
In a world full of strangers, you were my saving grace
You told me I was not alone
Alone in this place, no
I never believed it that a dream can come true but
If anyone has changed my mind then baby it’s you
Even through the rain I kept my faith
The will to follow through
And I’ll never lose my way again
And it’s all because of you
I’m flying high like the wind, reaching the impossible
I’ll never doubt again, I’m flying high
‘Cause your love’s made me see
That anything is possible
Possible ‘cause you believe in me
It’s possible to spread my wings
And reach into the sky
Believe that I can fly away
When you’re by my side
I’m flying high like the wind
Reaching the impossible, I’ll never doubt again
I’m flying high ‘cause your love’s made me see
That anything is possible
Possible when you believe in it
Anything is possible
Possible when you believe in me
When you believe in me.
This post is still under construction.Here are some glimpses of the two places
This is the story of a journey through the mountains and valleys of Darjeeling (India) and Kathmandu (Nepal) in the summer of 1976. It was going to be a discovery tour.
This anecdote is in memory of my good Nepali friend, Ramesh Menandar, who died in a tragic air crash while on his passage back to Kathmandu in 1992. He had just been conferred the Master of Architecture in Bangkok before the fateful journey home.
If time could go astern
- Would you have chosen a different Profession?
- Taken a different Life Partner?
If you would live life again, what would you have been most concerned of?
- Be more Health Conscious?
- More effective Management of own Finance?
